The government of the city of Mil
wauBee has passed into the hands of the
Social Democrats with Mayor Emil Seidel
as their leader.
Mayor Seidel will have back OF him 81
members of his party to enact into law
all the measures not in conflict with the
city charter The minority consists of
10 Democrats and Republicans.
Alderman Edmund T. McIms was
elected to the presidency of the council
and Carl d. Thompson was chosen as
city clerk.
Mayor Emil Seidel. addressing the new
common council. spoke in part as fol-
lows:
The eyes OF stricken cities are today
directed toward our Milwaukee and mil
lions of good wishes and God Bless Yous

shore of Lake Michigan. | cannot too
strongly impress upon you the sacred
ness of the trust placed upon you. All
your efforts must be bent toward the ex-
ecution of the task before you. Many
obstacles will be placed in your way.
Disappointments and heartaches will not
be spared you Your successes may not
very often follow your first attempts. But
resolute pluck and determined persever-
ance in the end must conquer the diff
culties that face you.
The workers of our city are its most
valuable asset. Your attention should
be directed to the passage of such meas
ures as will promote the wellbeing OF
this class of citizens, safeguard health.
check any tendency to encroach upon
such few rights as the workers still en-
joy and wherever possible extend for
them the opportunities of life.
In this direction a number of steps
can be taken. The administration should
constantly watch over the conditions pre-
vailing in factories, workshops and
places of employment. with regard to
full and hearty cooperation with state
factory inspectors in the enforcement of
measures providing for industrial
hygiene.
Contracts to be let by the city are
awarded to the lowest bidders. This does
not preclude the right of the city as
corporation to demand compliance with
certain specifications. Thus. the quality
and treatment of materials may be
spared to insure economy. 1t is the
height of absurdity to contend that this
should not hold good with regard to
labor. The contention that the city can
not as an economic precaution, specify
the treatment of labor. is violation of
the right of free contract, a right en-
joyed by corporations and individual en-
ployers.
Therefore. in contracts to bet let by
the city, the specifications should pro-
vide for hours of labor that are not eS-
hausting, that leave a margin OF time for
rest and development. Such specihca-
lions should also provide for sufficiency

"scAes" KILL EIGHTEEN.

Another victim of the incompetency
of the strike-breakers imported by the
Philadelphia Rapid Transit Company was
added to the list this week. Charles
Shield, a Waterman for the company
was instantly killed at the Forty-ninth
street and woodland avenue barns when
a car jumped the track and pinned him
against the wall.
A green motorman was bringing out
the car, and attempted to run around
the curve too rapidly. The car jumped
the track and jammed Shield against the
side of the building. crushing him to
death. This makes eighteen fatalities
that have occurred since the strike be-
gan, with green motormen.

UP TO GOVERNOR MARSHALL.
Governor Asked to Compel Steel Cor
poration to Obey Law.

Sampel Gompers. president OF the
American Federation of Labor, and 20
other labor leaders called upon Cover.
nor Marshall, of Indiana. in the effort
to secure prosecution under state laws
against the United States Steel Corpora
ton at Gary.
Gompers made statement in which
he said the question was whether the
state of Indiana will compel the corpor-
alton, which has millions invested in
Gary, Elwood and other cities in In
diana, to obey the laws. According to
written charges filed by the national la
Dor organization, the steel corporation is
violating the laws of the state in that it
has evolved a system of peonage in its
operations. of which the ignorant for
eign class employed to a very great de-
gree are the victims
1t is charged that the foreigners are
employed at low wage, made to work
long hours, compelled to pay high rents
by the steel corporation. required to buy
necessities in shops controlled by the
corporation and that at excessive prices
and that their children are deprived OF
the educational advantages which would
prepare them to realize the slavery in
which their fathers are now held.
1t is further alleged that the steel cor
poration has obtained possession of lands
and houses in the neighborhood of its
plants, and that by this means it is able
to control the destinies of its laborers.
Saloons. it is charged, have been estab-
lished by the steel corporation and main
tanned by it in the neighborhood in which
the foreigners dwell, and that by this
means much of the money paid to the
workmen finds its way back into the
treasury of the corporation.

GUN MEN ARRESTED;
MINERS ARE QUIET
In the Lafayette Coal Field the Miners
Are Peaceful, While the Gunfehters
Imported by the Operators Are Placed
in Jail.

The striking miners OF Colorado are
standing in their fight for living wages
as one man. There has not been deser-
ton up to the present time, and it is be-
lieved there will be very few breaks in
the ranks until the call is made for the
men to return to work at the advance
asked-5.55 per cent.
The increase is in no way compensa-
ton sufficient to Offset the increased cost
of living of the past two years. Every
paper one picks up is filed with articles
bearing big headlines of the high prices
of the necessities of life.
We naturally ask when We hear of a
demand for small increase in wages
and an arbitrary refusal by the en-
ployer: What can they expect?'
1t is believed by all thinking people
that the demands of the miners are very
trivial. compared to the demand made
on their wages when it is earned.
The operators have imported many
gun-men to their mines, and they are
creating great deal of trouble, but Colo
RADIO seems to have honest officials in the
districts in question and the gun-men are
being promptly placed under arrest and
then under bond.
The striking miners are keeping the
peace. and are gaining the confidence
and respect of those who are following
the contest

400 eRlckMAKERs STRIKE.

A general walk-out of the men at the
burlington Paving Brick plants east of
Galesburg, ILL.,. occurred wednesday of
last week when over 100 of the employees
in every department of the four yards
dropped their tools, their wheelbarrows
or left their machines and picking up
their lunch baskets, eft the yards.
The walk-out was the direct result of
a failure to come to any kind of settle
ment with the company over working
conditions at the yards. Committees had
waited upon the company officials and
offered any kind of proposition to bring
about a settlement Of questions at issue.
Yet the company refused to listen to any
kind of proposition from the COM
mittees.

increases in the piece work prices rang

at which men struck would not sign the
unions agreement. but all the members
have now secured places in shops which
have conceded. or which have been
started since the strike began; conse-
quently the strike is over. The shops
which did not concede have practically

LARGEST UNION
IN ASSEMBLY
This Honor Belongs to Inferno
tional Association Of Machin-
lists No. AZ.
(By Frank J. PuIver.)

Nearly thirty years ago, in the
little cottage still standing at the
corner Of Eleventh and Lawrence
streets, there was an Informal meet
ing one evening of the more pro-
sressive journeymen machinists Of
Denver.
At that time you could count all
the trades unions in the city on the
fingers Of your two hands. There
was neither State Federation, Trades
Assembly nor Label League--in fact,
the National Association Of Machin-
lists, the predecessor Of the present
international Association, was not
called into being until some six or
seven years after this meeting. How
ever, the spirit Of organization had
been awakened among these pioneer
machinlsts-the same spirit which
has since built up an International
union of nearly 100000 members
with the result that on the occasion
mentioned the first organization Of
machinists in this intermountain re-
qion was formed with nine members.
True, this was not labor organiza-
ton within the general understand
ing Of the present day-it being
formed more for social features than
for trades union-but from this
meeting ultimately sprung the local
union Of machinists that is in exist
ence today.

TRANSFERS HAVING TROUBLE.

The haulers of Des Moines. Iowa, are
having difficulty with their new scale.
The scale asked is yet below that OF the
average city of the size of Des Moines.
The scale asked is an increase of %
cents for the team. bringing the wage up
to s225 per day for the driver. and $3.50
per day for the driver who owns his own
team.
This is a reasonable wage. and should
have been in force years ago in Des
Moines.
In spite of the activity of Mr.. Nichols,
self-imposed strike-breaker, the proba-
bilities are all in favor of an early ad-
justment of differences. and of the in
crease which has been asked by the
union.

ANOTHER THINK COMING.

The pussy citizen of Portland who
thinks he can establish the open" shop
here might as well try to chain the comet

means TO listen very intently to his
mouthings. A millionaire will always be
listened to respectfully by somebody, but
if he has not scraped the moss OF his
intellect in 10 years, fight for the recog
nition of the unions will perform the
operation for him.-Portland Labor
