Within few minutes after the explosion

the explosion and the ventilating apparatus
was fortunately unharmed by the shock.
The first bodies recovered were in fairly

Ontario and Prison Labor.

The Ontario government has recent
ly abolished the system Of prison labor
contracts in that province. In future
the majority Of the prisoners in the
penal institutions of Ontario will be
employed upon farms and the making
of roads in the newly opened up dis
triets. There will. however. be per-
centage Of the prisoners whose health
or other circumstances will prevent
them from joining in this open air
work. These men will manufacture
hospital supplies-beds. blankets and
so forth-which will be offered to the
hospitals receiving financial aid from
the provincial government. and pro-
vided the prices and quality of the
goods are found to compare favorably
with those of similar articles offered
in the open market the hospitals will
be expected to purchase the prison
made products.

Plumbers and Allied Unions In
Harmonious Session.
TWO YEARS OF PROGRESS.


Position-SaIaries of General Officers
Raised.
The seventeenth biennial convention
of the United Association of Plumbers.
Gasiitters. Steamtitters and Steamfit-
terS Helpers. held recently at st.
Paul. was IL memorable event In the
history of the organization. Not only
was it the largest and most earnest
convention of the several crafts in the
association ever held. but 1t also dealt
with some of the most important
problems ever presented to them for
consideration.
The reports Of the officers state that
from the LIST of January this year up
to the present date more local unions
have been organized than ever before
for that length of time. The union
has gained IN increase in membership
since July 1. 1908. which will reach
1000 members. II not more. Ninety
six local unions were organized. thirty
eight of them since January, 1910, and
lO1 strikes occurred. Out of this num-
her three We're lost.
From July 1. 1908, to July 1 this
year there was paid out $4,000 for
benefits. OF this amount $GO,995 was
for sick benefits. $59.414 for strike
benefits. and along with this there was
collected thousands of dollars by vol
untary subscriptions.
There has also been spent a consfd-
cradle amount of money in securing
state and local laws for the protection
of the trade and society by bringing
about better sanitation and more rigid
inspection.
The rapid increase in the member
ship of the association and the general
activity of the labor movement all over
the country have made the duties of the
officers much more Onerous and exact
ing than they used to be-. The conven-
ton recognized this fact and sought
to make suitable provision for the add
cd requirements. The number Of gen.
cral organizers was raised from seven
to nine and the salary of each from
$500 to $1,000 a year. And in further
recognition of the increasing burden
IF official life the salary Of the presi-
dent was raised from $500 to $4,000
year and that of the secretary the
same.
Another important step in the line
of progress taken by the convention
was large increase of the reserve
fund. This has been for some years
fixed at 100000. The St. Paul con.
vention determined to increase it to
$25O,O0O. and the indications are that
the addition will be made within the
next two years. This fund is used tc
further the interests of the various
crafts in the association and to fur
nish munitions of war in case OF
strikes or lockouts. With a reserve
fund of $25O.OOO in. hand the associa
ton will be one OF the richest an6
best equipped in the country for what
ever may arise in the way Of trouble
\ movement was also started by
the st. Paul convention looking to TIKI
establishment of a home for sick OF

crafts in the association similar to tn,
