Lake CARRIERS own
BODIES D. AND SOULS OF
: WELFARE n SAILORS

CHICAGO, May. 13.-The so-called
welfare plan or industrial passport
scheme of the Lake Carriers asso-
citation, against which the seamen of
the great lakes are on strike. has
been properly explained in but very
few newspapers, according to Sec'y
VA. Olander Of the Seamen's Union.
: The following are ten vicious rules
OF the m1snamed ,''plan" which show
its main features: w.: .....: ss.,4
1st.< <, Each seaman is required to
secure a certificate of membership in
the ;"welfare plan" controlled by the
shipoWners. 4:~.5..st,. ... -, -
r. 2nd. Payment of fees by seamen
to shipowners. s.. ....~
3rd. Registration Of name, age,
personal description, ETC., of every
seaman. = ",-..-- -. -.
|! 4th. An industrial passport, called
a Discharge Book by which the
sea man is, to be. thus identified. !, +
9TH a system of character marks.
such as the master Of the vessel may
choose to give, upon which future
pfeymentor non=empl loyrnent Aissto
depend !: I - - ~ g. 4 +
9Th. Authority in the hands OF
any ships Officer to arbitrarily de-
prive seamen Of the passport. to thus
apply the blacklist, regardless of the
number of. good character: marks
the sailor may have previously OBJ
tanned. ~ Il r -" -
7th. A rule requiring that seamen
must, when employed, deposit the
passport with the ships captain. in
order that it may be readily and
easily revoked. -. - - z'.se.
.ssth. A system of so-called ,"as-
sembly rooms" on shore where sea-
men must congregate when unem-
ployed, preference in employment be-
Ing given to- those who frequent
these places to the greatest extent, a
watch being kept on their attend
ance while unemployed. l.. "
9th.: An agreement by each indi-
vidual seaman, in writing, to the ef-
feet that he will submit to all rules
| and regulations of, the employers
assembly rooms when ashore, and
to take no part in any organized ef-
| fort to better conditions, or to pre-
vent deterioration thereof, when en-
ployed on board ship. .,.e-~... i
10th. Pledge of obedience to such
other rules. and regulations as the
Lake Carriers association, may see
fit to inaugurate. from time to time.
The plan, ), it will be seen, provides
for constant and unrelenting super
vision, restraint and espionage of
every seaman, whether he is at work
o rat rest, ashore of afoat, employed
or unemployed. That is what we are
on strike against. 7sz...a ~

IMPORTATION SCHEME or #

CHICAGO, Ill, May 1s.-The Sea-
mems Union, has discovered a new
scheme whereby the lake shipown-
ers have been trying to import for-
eign seamen in violation Of the law.
The foreigners were to-; be used by
the Lake Carriers Association in an
attempt to break the strike of sails
ors. firemen and marine cooks now
in progress on. the Great Lakes. EN-
ployment agents In New York City
have been boarding incoming for
eign ships for the purpose OF induc-
ing the foreign seamen to desert.
Such men as could be enticed away
from their vessels were to be sent
ito various lake ports.
(. & Four dollars "a head was the
price which the employment agents
claimed they were receiving from
the shipoWners for each man that
could be brought to the lakes, besides
transportation for the sailors.
The matter was at once reported

Smoked Out by Workers. Cham
pion, House on Record Goes 169
to So Against Amendment to
Notorious Sherman Act-Look
Up Your Representative.

WASHINGTON, D. c.. May ID
Forced by Representative Hughes Of
New Jersey to come out in the open
= and show their colors for or against
labor, just fifty-two out of a total
of one hundred and sixty-nine con-
gressmen present voted to take the
yoke Of the Sherman antitrust act
from the neck of the American wage
worker.
Hughes sprung his labor amend
ment to the administrations railroad
bill before the house fully realized
its import. Suddenly it dawned upon
the Republican f1oor-leader, Mann,
just what this thing meant and he
jumped to his feet demanding that
1t be ruled out of order. II
The speaker took the cue and de
clared the amendment not germane.
Hughes appealed from the decision
of the chair. .-5'> -:
1t was to be a test-vote. Weak
kneed congressman gave out a faint
ripple of "ayes" in sustaining the
chair.
A scattering chorus of sturdy
noes" spoke for labor.
Pledges of the Democrats and
promises of the Republicans were
alike cast to the winds when stand
ing vote showed but a third of the
entire house ready to keep its word
and protect organized labor from the
deadly measures Of the Sherman
Antitrust act that has already opened
its jaws to mulct one labor union,
the Hatters, of quarter of mill
lion dollars.
Seen after the session, Representa-
tive, Hughes frankly stated his be-
lief that this was probably the one
and only time during the sitting of
the Sixty-first congress when every
man on the floor had been compelled
to stand for or against labor.
"The amendment which I sent to
the DESK" explained the New Jersey
card, provided this: That as the
pending paragraph attempted to take
the railroads from within the pro-
visions of the Sherman Antitrust act,
80 my amendment proposed to take
the laborlng men from within the
provisions of the same act.
Il gave the members of the houss
the opportunity to go ho,at and tell
their people In the next campaign
that they had redeemed their prom
ises.
IT have taken the trouble to read
the debates In the senate when the
act was passed and certain senator's
who stood high in the councils of
their party assured that body that
the language of that act should not
apply to organizations of labor.
IAN amendment was offered on the
floor of the senate, letter for letter,
and. word for word as my measure
appeared in the house, and that
amendment passed unanimously In
the senate
Representative Hughes measure
embraced farmers organizations as
well as those of labor. The amend
ment reads:
Arrangements, agreements, or
combinations between laborers made
with a view of lessening, the number
of hours of labor or of increasing
their wages, or any arrangements,
agreements or combinations among
persons engaged in horticulture or
agriculture made with the view of
enhancing the price of agricultural
or horticultural products p"
