EDWIN Y, BRAKE
ACTS QUICKLY
Twenty-Seven Young Men
Are Protected By
Commissioner.

Again Labor Commissioner Brake has
shown his efficiency as an officer of the
state and friend of the people. He has
placed another round in the ladder to
fame and taken another step upward. and
the people will not forget; union men
will not forget.
Early in the week Secretary Hickey
and officers of the State Federation of
Labor called the attention of Labor Com
missioner Edwin Brake to the work OF
agents for the Homestake mine at Lead,
S. D., in misrepresenting the conditions
prevailing at Lead, where there is
strike by the Western Federation of
Miners.
This agent had gathered 81 young men
together through the employment
agencies in the lower part of town, had
told them that good positions awaited
them at their destination, and that there
was no trouble. They were charged s35O
each for the good positions secured and
were marched to the depot to be shipped
into the conditions prevailing at Lead,
where big corporation is grinding labor
to worse than poverty. and where the
Western Federation of Miners talents are
directed to other pastimes than strewing
the paths of strikebreakers with roses
While the band of young strikebreakers
were waiting al the depot. Commissioner
Brake and Federation officers rushed to
the rescue. The conditions confronting
them were explained briefly to the young
men who had been deceived. and without
one exception they refused to continue
the journey, and accompanied the COM
missioner to the agencies where they
were fieeced of the $3.50 fee. and their
money was returned to them on the de-
mand of Mr.. Brake
This calls to mind the predicament of
several Colorado Springs young men who
were enticed to the Black Hills recently
by promises of good positions, and when
they arrived there were placed in the
hands OF the company officers. Some Of
these men had mothers at home depend
ing upon them and others had borrowed
money which they had promised to re-
turn. On their arrival in Dakota they were
IT, On their arrival in Dakota they were
forced to first pay back the transporta-
ton advanced for their trip northward
and by this time found the conditions so
unhearable that they were glad to send
home for money for the return trip.
| This should be a lesson to other young
men who may be looking for employment
and are made enticing offers by smooth
tongued agents of labor-grinding corpora.
tons. They should first get information
| from the labor organization in the trade
| at which they are to be employed. or
should call 1T the state free employment

Agent R. E. Croskey is always willing to
oblige.
