JUDGE HELPS BOSS ..

HARTFORD, Conn.,, Oct. 7.-Beat-

makers are seeking to establish a
base Of operations for the open shop
In this city and have been successful
IL, obtaining an injunction from
Judge William S. Chase that even
outstrips the notorious Goff injunc-
ton.
. The Central Labor union of Hart
ford produced evidence in the hear
ing showing that the entire six weeks
of the strike against the Davidson &
Watts company, the firm that had
moved it's establishment from New
York to this place during the general
strike,. the picketing had been most
orderly and not a single arrest had
been made by the police. But this
evidence the Judge waived aside with
the opinion that all picketing, peace
full or not, is offensive" to open shop
employers. In addition he ruled that
the union had no grievance upon
which to base it's actions.

DECLARED McEWEN.

ST. PAUL, Minn., Oct. 1.-THE key
note in the 17th biennial convention
of the United Association of Journey
men Plumbers, Gas Filters and Steam
Filters Helpers held here recently,
was sounded by State Labor Commits
sioner W. E. McEwen, brother
pipe filter" who declared that the
principle of the union shop was the
very life-blood of the association.
1T took us fifteen years." he said
Ito raise our pay from $3.50 per day
to IS per day and to decrease the
hours of labor from ten hours to eight
hours a day. All that this advantage
cost me in tribute to organized labor
was but $50. Some workers oppose
the tribute they must pay to secure
these benefits and declare that the un-
ion shop is an un-American institution
because it levies tribute, but I de-
clare that 1t is a most American in
stitution, for it runs on the same
principle as does our government in
exacting support for it's free institu-
tions."
Firmly maintaining the working
class principles Of the association, the
convention refused to seat a. delegate
with duly signed credentials from
Providence, r. l., because, since re-
ceiving the credentials, he had become
a master plumber.
The splendid condition Of the -asso.
citation was made plain in Secretary
Treasurer BuEke's report which
showed that out of 247 strikes and
lockouts, in the past two years, two
thirds Of them had resulted in victor.

CHILDREN Of miners
Win SCHOOL STRIKE

HALIFAX, Nova Scotia, Oct. T.
The children of the striking miners
III Springhill have refused to sit in
school beside the children of the
strikebreakers imported to work
in the Cumberland Railway and Coal
company's mines.
For II months the coal miners
day of school the teachers were stu
pefied with surprise to see three
fourths of their children leave the
school room inss:a body because the
strikebreakerseeh were also in
attendance.
1--WE won't sit with 'em-they're
blacklegs," cried out the departing
youngsters. Arguments had no effect,
the teachers were helpless, and the
children not only went out but stayed
out.
Attorney General MacLean was fin
ally sent for. to come to Springhill
and reconcile the differences that
were blocking all school work. 1t was
thought that he could influence the
striking miners to send their children
back. He came, but to his astonish-
ment he found that the main obstacle
lay not with miners but with their
children-nothing could persuade
the little ones to associate with what
they called "blacklegs.'
AS the children of the striking min
ers are in the large majority the
school authorities are in a quandary
and have finally decided to ask the
children of the strikebreakers to stay
at home.
This strike Of the children made
such an impression on the attorney
general that it is said he has since
privately urged the company to settle
with their men.

CURED early today, when car ferry
Pere Marquette No. Is, flagship of a
fleet of six steel car ferries, owned and
operated by the Pere Marquette Rail-
road Company, sank to the bottom of
Lake Michigan, twenty miles off Port
Washington, Wis, with a loss of
twenty lives. The boat was valued ut

by insurance in Lloyds of England.
"Car Ferry No Is snlSing-help,"
was the C. Q. D. wireless message that
brought the first news of the disaster
to this city about a. m. today.
The flash was repeated continuously
for nearly an hour, but was unsigned.

was inspected by government officials
at this port and found to be in first
class condition in every respect
