ALL TRADES SHOULD RALLY
TO help LOS ANGELES UNIONS
Says Lynch.

To the Editor:
For years the International Typo
graphical Union has carried on a bat
tie in Los Angeles, the success of
which meant not only the unionizing
of the Los Angeles Times office but
the betterment in a considerable de-
gree of the condition of organized
labor in Los Angeles.
The other trades have not seen the
Los Angeles, and that city has been
given wide berth by most of the
great trade unions. About three
months ago strikes on the part of the
brewery workers, steel and structural
iron workers. boiler makers, machin-
lists, moulders and other artisans oc-
Cured, and these strikes, with the
exception of those of the brewery
workers and moulders, were financed
entirely in San Francisco by the trade
union movement Of that city. Sue
cess was about to attend this effort
when the terrible catastrophe that
destroyed the Los Angeles Times
plant occurred, and for the time being
made Impossible the victory that was
imminent. The trade unionists in
Los Angeles were the greatest suffer-
crs because of the Times explosion.
Despite this untoward happening, the
fight has been kept up. and the men
on strike are. none the less enthusi-
astic and none the less determined
to win eventually.
The Los Angeles Times. and the
Merchants and Manufacturers As
sociation Of that city, through its
attorney, are moving with tremend-
Gus energy to attach the explosion

Pitiful Stipend Paid to Employees

Corporations Has Brought Gen.
eral Protest From Victims in
Shape of General Strike.

NEW YORK. Nov. 11.-With i'm
movable merchandise crammed into
every vacant space and perishable
goods rotting in warehouses until the
stencil has forced action on the part
Of the health department., all of the
great New York express companies
are facing a strike that, starting with
the drivers and spreading to the
helpers and clerical force, now
threatens to tie up every movable
wheel in the city, and. further still,
to call out the teamsters of the nation
in a general strike.
Police up to last Tuesday were rid
ing on every wagon and truck manned
by strikebreakers, and, in many
cases, were taking the reins into their
own hands when the incompetency
of the scab threatened to tie up sraf-
fic. Vice-President Hoffman of the
International Brotherhood of Team
sters, on that day made protest to
Mayor Gaynor in this matter of the
police openly acting as strikebreakers.
and Gaynor ordered his men to cease
riding the wagons.
President Tobin telegraphed the
New York headquarters that the Bos-
ton teamsters were ready to respond
to the call for a strike and Philadel
phia will follow suit.
The teamsters' demands are few

crease in pay. recognition of the union
and no porter work to be done by
helpers.
The policy of the express COM
panies has been to pay their men
starvation wages and force them to
work beyond the limit of endurance.
1t is asserted that the strike is a
spontaneous uprising that the COM
panies are solely responsible for in
their blind reaching after big di-
vidends at the expense Of their en-
ployes. The American Express COM
pany is an example of this, for it
has a capitalization of $1S.oo0,000
an actual value of $2,0O0,OO0, and
consequently is paying dividends OH
$16,000,000 of watered stock at the
rate of per cent. ::
Treatment of it's drivers was bad
enough, but the treatment accorded
to the cleriacl force was even a
lower one in the scale of slave driv-
ing. Here is a statement made by one
of it's clerks:
| No extra pay for overtime. work.
"Employes subject to be called up

FEAR OF BEING OUTOF
-. Il: WORK CAUSED A STRIKE

LYNN, Nov. 11.-Acting upon the
belief that the John H. Cross COM
pany has asked other Lynn shoe
manufacturers to discriminate against
the employees of the Cross company,
forty-three lasters, including hand
workmen. and machine operatives,
have quit work and new price list
has been presented to the firm. Un-
less the strike is settled the factory
will be crippled.
It has been understood, that the
concern proposed to remove its busi-
ness from Lynn. Its employees have
been securing positions in other Lynn
factories as rapidly as possible, for it
has been felt that there would be no
permanency to positions in the Cross
factory. Recently it was reported to
the lasters that letter had been
sent out asking other manufacturers

Lying IN State of Edzcard III May
Be Last Such Spectacle.

The revival of the medieval English custom
of a living in state of the deceased monarch in
the case of Edward VII proved, among other
things. an interesting exhibition of certain
phases of human nature. In the course of the
two and one-half days in which the body rested
in the historic Westminster Hall more than
four hundred thousand persons, largely repre-
sentatives of the laboring and middle classes,
passed through the building. The line some-
times six miles long passed at the rate of siS
thousand an hour
Persons who had places in the stream of huI
manity but so far back that they could not
get in on the same day, bivouacked where they
found themselves when the doors were closed,
and accomplished their desire the next morning.
The heavy thunder shower which broke tha
morning of May 10, and was attributed by tha
superstitious to the passage of the earth
through the comets tail, was not sufficient ia
drive many from their self-imposed vigil.
The desire of the public to walk through the
building and look at the white and gold em-
broidered pail covering the coffin and the royal
tewelry-for no more was to be seer-was 81
great that on the second night OF the ceremony.
