To Organize the Women

The working women of New York city
are to be thoroughly unionized Presi-
dent Samuel Gompers of the American
Federation of Labor made plans while
in New York on last Sunday to organize
women s auxiliaries of many branches
of trade unions, as well as women s.
unions.
He found that there are 25O,OOO un-
organized women workers in New York,
and only $4,000 organized women trade
unionists. Seventy-fve women and girl
organizers will be commissioned to be-
gin work as soon as necessary funds are
raised. After the work has been com
plcted in New York it will be pushed in
other cities.
President Gompers met prominent wo-
men unionists at the home of Miss Ida
Tarbell. Among the trades which will
be organized are clerks in stores, paper
box makers, fur workers, felt hat makers,
textile workers, ribbon weavers, feather
workers and those which wind and insu-
late electric wires.

LEAGUE OF THE WO-
MEN WAGE FARMERS
Suffragists Propose New Organization
In Philadelphia to Include Women
Workers of all Classes.

An entirely new movement is on foot
with the object of organizing one body
of all the women wage-earners of Phila-
delphia into central organization whose
object shall be the betterment of condi-
tions along all lines. 1t is proposed to
interest every woman who earns money,
and this includes n wide scope of en-
deavor. Every female, whether she be a
professional woman, business woman
saleswoman, worker in industrial plants
or any other class of work for money, is
eligible to membership.
This movement is under the auspices
of the Woman Suffrage association and
is in line with similar orgah 'zations in
both New York and Chicago. Tle work
in this city is in charge of Mrs. Anna NJ.
Orme, of Wayne, chairman of the COM
mittee on industrial conditions for wom-
en- and Children of the Pennsylvania
Woman Suffrage Association.
A number of preliminary meetings have
been held which were addressed by Mrs
Orme, but during the past week Miss
Gruening has given valuable assistance
and rapid strides are being made toward
complete organization.

crease in wages for the miners, general
strike in the bituminous coal fields is
certain Such is the substance of a
statement given out by President Lewis
at the close of a meeting of the execu-
tive board of the. miners
1t IS certainly to be regretted that
the joint conference. adjourned without
making wage contract, and unless this
conference again meets before April /
and reaches an agreement ON new wage
scale, it will be necessary for a general
suspension of work, said Lewis '.This
will affect every. bituminous mining dis
trict in the country continued he. 81
am well aware crisis has been reached
In the mining industry of the country,
but am still hopeful for a peaceful set
tlement of conditions. Our men, how
ever, are entitled to a substantial increase
in wages and will not be agreeable to any
agreement that does not carry this pro-
vision with it. Only calm deliberation
on the part of both the operators and
the miners can avert general suspen-
sion.''
The operators insist that, owing to the
unorganized West Virginia fields, they
cannot grant any increase in wages. 1t
is learned that at the executive board
meeting the advisability of calling an
other national convention was considered.
By many of the leaders of the miners
a convention is held to be necessary be.

Under the indianapolis convention de-
cision no district has the right to sign
a scale of wages with the operators until

the wishes of the rank and file of the
United Mine Workers will be asccrtained
by referendum vote. If so, a conven-
tion will not be held

Frightfu1 Death Rate.

F. L. Hoffman, eminent authority
on insurance matters, says statistics show
that one;half of the $4,000 male wage
earners killed annually in American in
dustries could be saved by the exercise
of intelligent and rational methods of
factory inspection, legislation and con-
troll.
If that number of horses or cattle were
being lost each year, and it were posi-
BILE to save half of them, it is safe to
say that no time would be lost in taking
the necessary steps.

TO BATTLE
Operators Refuse to Take Part In
First Conference and Hope to
Disrupt the Nine Workers.

Illinois is to be the battle ground in
the inevitable struggle between the btu
mlnous coal miners and the coal opera
tors of the nation. This does not come
of the miners choosing. 1t will be fore
cd upon them by the operators, who are
permitting no stone to remain unturned
in an effort to split the miners organ
lzatlon over the impending wage struggle
that will come to a head on April 1, when
the present agreement expires.
That the operators are plotting to
use Illinois as rock upon which to split
the United Mine Workers is the latest
phase in the wage controversy. The
first step was taken by the Illinois opera.
tors when they refused to take part in
the joint conference in Toledo, O.,=last
week.
Various excuses have been offered by
the illinois operators for their stand in
the matter. They claim, in part, that
the conditions in the mining industry of
Illinois are so much better than in the
other states that they can gain nothing
by attending the meeting. They say that
the Illinois miners officials seem to think
that the miners have grievances, and that
one of these will be expressed in the
shape of emphatic demand for higher
wages
BY not taking part in the Toledo con-
ferences the Illinois operators claim that
they will not be bound by an agreement
reached at any future conference Ac-
cording to the view taken by the opera.
tors, it will be their hope that there will
be trouble between the Illinois miners
and the miners of the other bituminous
fields of Indiana, Ohio and Pennsylvania
The operators seem to think that a hoped
for split in the miners ranks will there.
by be accomplished.
a similar situation occurred in 1889
when the operators signed an agreement
with all of the bituminous coal miners
with the exception of those in Illinois
The others thereupon went back to work
leaving the Illinois miners to fight their
own battle. That was over a score of
years ago, however. Things have chang.
ed since then.
That the operators are drawing wrong
conclusions regarding the present situa
tion is the view of miners officials in
every one of the bituminous coal districts
| involved in the present dispute. If the
operators try to fight district in the
| United Mine Workers organization this
year they will have every district to deal
with.
cit would certainly be to the advan.
tage of the operators to split the miners
ranks. It would seem that that is what
they are trying to do,'' said Frank J
| Hayes. "They will find, however, that
their plans have all been mislaid. The
miners are all going to stick together
The Illinois miners have never deserted
any other district in the organization
and in the present instance expect every
other district to stand with theirs in thei1
demands that will be made.''

But AL. Deck, like all true American
eltlZens' refused to give up the ghost,
and hnaily came to and crawled away
from the track, and as the trains run
very slow down that creek, succeeded in
hailing the first train that passed and
the railroad men took him to the Nc

MINING
Situation Attracting At
tentio11 of the Entire
Country atPresent
Convention Adjourr1s af-
ter Lengthy Session
Toledo Conference has
Failed to Agree.

Ihe annual convention of the United
Mine Workers of America in session the
past two weeks at Indianapolis, came to
a close Wednesday night, concluding one
of the most important annual sessions of
that great international organization.
The convention gave S. 900 to the fam
lies of the miners killed at Primero, Col,
and passed set of resolutions expressing
sympathy and calling upon the authori-
ties for speedy protection from similar
accidents. The territory where the catas-
trophe occurred was unorganized.
An amendment to the constitution was
also passed providing that the sons of
members between fourteen and seventeen
years OF age shall pay an initiation fee
OF $3.50. Heretofore the age limit was
from fourteen to sixteen years. 1t was
argued that if the age limit were extend
ed one year it would mean that the sons
of miners would remain in school one
year longer before compelled to 90 to
work.
A lively fight was precipitated by the
attempt to raise the pay of executive
board members from 81 to $3.50 day.
The proposition finally voted down.
In completing the report of the com
mttee on resolutions the convention
adopted set of resolutions protesting
against any advance in the postal rates
on second class matter. The resolutions
set forth that "there is now a move ON
foot to increase the postal rates for Sec
ond class mail matter, under which come
the labor periodicals, which will necessi-
tate an increase in subscription price,
the consequence of which will be a de-
creased circulation or an entire suspen-
sion of the pcpcrs.'
Before adjournment the convention de-
clded to meet next year at st. Louis, the
home Of Labor $ Halter James w. Van
Cleave.
Indianapolis, Toledo and Rochester, N,
Y, fought to secure the convention, but
sentiment was too much in favor of ST.
Louis.
1t was 3 o clock on Thursday morning
when the great convention finally came to
an end "Wednesday afternoon and night
were consumed with the hearing of sew
eral grievances which were presented by
locals or sub districts, and many attacks
were made upon the officials of the mine
workers and although these seemed trivial
in their nature, it will be necessary to
place some. of the grievances before the
next annual convention before they can
be settled.
The delegation which went to Toledo
consisted of 14O delegates from Ohio :;
l33 delegates representing Western Penn
sylvania; 90 delegates from Indiana and
Psi from Illinois. The miners of the
southwest will meet with their bosses in
Kansas City during the latter part of the
month.
