Progress of l. T. u.

The Raleigh On. C.) Evening Times,
speaking editorially of the remarkable
progress made by the Intern ational Ty.
biographical Union in the way of wage
increase and hour reductions, concludes
Its compliment in this way:
An Interesting comparison can be

The number of hours saved to the union
men each year is 100000. The number
of hours in year is s,76O The number
OF hours in the average life is about
100000. The comparison will show that
100000 hours equal twenty-four aver
age lives or forty weight working lives
The union has accomplished all this in
these five years and now there is nothing
but good Will between the EMPLOYERS
and employees The union is living mn
to its opportunities While it has gained
shorter day and increased wages, it
has not made this the paramount issue
OF its campaign. It has striven and still
strives for a better standard of living
for its men. And in this it IS being

MOST PERNICIOUS"

This came from Senator Nelson to 9
colleague during the last day of the ses

treasures.
'Pernicous9' Yes. Nelson spoke with
knowledge that came from bitter per

the man, that as chairman of the Rules

Tawney, Bartholdt, Cassidy, Dodds,

Massachusetts, and u score of other Rep
resentatives who have in the past been
posing as friendly to labor, were caught
red-handed in the lineup that took place
on the Hughes amendment-the amend
ment from the Sherman antitrust law.
These men come from strong labor dis.
tricts and yet they voted to provide a
fund to put organized labor out of bust
ness. They have been well branded bv
the bees
AT the next session raids on the hive
will be renewed Will the bees give up
discouraged? Far from it. Wills of
the locomotive engineers, Roe of the
tremen, and Nolan and .Jefrreys of the
boilermakers, will continue the fight for
the Government inspection of locomotive
boilers at the next session, and will, in
all probability, succeed in having this
just measure made 4 law.
Furuseth and Flynn will return from
the Pacific to again demand that sailors
be made legally as free as other Ameri-
can citizens.
Johnston and Rorke for the machinist
whose successful work for an eight hour
day in the navy yards is known, will GER
tainly be back in Washington at the
next session.
Harper, White and Richards, of the
United Mine Workers, are certain to
return to strengthen their work on the
Bureau of Mines.
Back of all and for all, Arthur f.
Holder, the Legislative representative of

Washington, D. c., June 29.--''If the
boiler inspection bill is not brought up
for debate in the Senate today bunch
Of Senators will go to bed liars
Perched in the visitors gallery the
union man who had made the remark
watched the hot day through, as many
another had watched before him, and at
the end he also knew the Senators for
what they were, for, in spite of promises,
rosy interviews and solemn agreements
the bill was shelved without single word
being uttered in it's favor.
From committee to committee, all
through the session, have gone the rep
resentatives of the railroad brotherhoods
and piled up unanswerable evidence in
favor of their life saving measure, and at
every turn and hearing have appeared
the neutrality-suspicious. lobby, headed
by Senator Faulkner, to trim and block
the proposed law.
But in spite of their immediate sue
cess the railroads fearful of the pub
lie opinion which has been aroused by
the persistent work of the union men,
and the railroad lobby has been forced to
| report to it's chiefs that in the end
probably during the next session. boi
Ter inspection bill will pass both houses of
Congress.
Proof that the railroads have taken
alarm and are preparing for the worst -
has been brought to the knowledge of
the brotherhoods by friendly though
subterranean source. The facts revealed
are as follows:
In the Office of the Southern railway,
blue prints, specifications and regula-
| tions for "a STANDARD of Safety for
Boilers have just been rushed to com
petion, and this standard has been fin
ally agreed upon by all the leading east
ern roads.

constr ructor had standard of his own

between the bursting pressure and the
working pressure at ) is to 6; another
4 1s to l; still another to l. Some
engineers would allow working stress
of 5000 pounds per square inch; others
| 5000 The same flexible standard ap-
| piled to rivets. which would run all
the way from shearing strength Of
| 10000 pounds to $4,000 pounds to the
square inch.
| The result of all these variations upon

death Without law to regulate inspec-
ton the railroads summed up their losses
only in dollars and cents, leaving the
cost of human life to be borne by their
workmen and the public.
Not only have the railroads at last
peen forced to agreement upon a
standard of safety for their boilers but
they have issued orders to re-design
boilers so as to permit internal inspec-
tion.
