An effort is now being made by
the railroad interests to repeal one
of the most important sections of the
state constitution. TT
The efforts being made to blackeii
the character of Governor Haskell
serve to- show another method cor
porations and their agents have of
removing those persons who are not
subservient to their interests.
In spite, or rather as result of the
opposition Of the interests the organi-
cations of the workers is carried on
even more actively, and the growth
of the United Brotherhood of Car
penters and Joiners is an example:
Only a year ago the carpenters had
thirty-six local unions in Oklahoma,
Today they have sixty, and the organ
ization is still going on. 80
There has been organized a Mill
Workers Union in Oklahoma City,
which is the first in the state, and ii
a short time there will be five or six
planning mills here turning out mater
ial0bearing the U. B. label. -, % .:
For the most part the workers of
this state are alive and active. This
is shown in one way by the fact that
they are quick to affiliate with their
city and state central bodies.

governments feared England, know
ing that if she did not adopt mora
advanced social legislation she might
undersell the continental countries.
That feeling has largely disappear
ed since the British labor party has
forced upon the British government
laws protecting the working class.
The European governments of Eu-
rope now fear America only:
When the various government. of
Europe decided in 1906 to prohibit
the use Of white PHOSPHORUS in the
match making industry America made
no pledge
When, international conventions are
held for the purpose of discussing an
international code America takes no
official part in these conferences; and
America not only refuses to take part
in INTERNATIONAL agreements; it. has
thus far madeline step toward radical
social or labor legislation.
There is mo adequate ~:workmen's
ompensation- act in America; the la
Dor laws are not enforced as a whole.
Old age pensions are not discussed
and governmental insurance against
| sickness, oldslage, invalidity and death
does not exist. while insurance against
unemployment: As not even dreamed

At Berne in Switzerland is the Of
flee of the International association
for labor legislation.
The work of this body is to try to
obtain in all countries practically the
same kind of labor legislation.
International conferences are held
for the purpose of discussing the la
Dor legislation of the various coun-
tries.
Special meetings are called of offic-
ial representations of the various
countries to discuss common interna-
tional action for the protection of Ia
Dor.
Four years ago I attended con-
ference held by the International body
at Geneva says Robert Hunter.
There were delegates in attend
ance from almost all countries in the
the possibility of obtaining kind Of
international code of labor legislation.
The matter was of much importance
to labor that many Socialists attended
the gathering, some representing vari-
Gus national associations for labor leg
islation.
1t is said that the International as
ISOLATION is supported largely by Ger
man funds.
The Socialists of Germany. have
forced the German government to
adopt the most advanced social and
labor legislation in the world.
The German nation, therefore, faces
serious situation. Her legislation

to fear that 1t will effect her ability
to compete with other countries in
the world market
She is not sure that she can go on
protecting her workers, and at the
same time compete with those of other
countries that refuse to protect their
workers. That is one thing.
The other thing is this, that If she
does not respond to the demand Of
the German workers for. further pro-
lection, she will face at home some
thing like revolution.
As. a result, the German nation Is
endeavoring to bring other countries
up to her standard of labor legisla-
tion
She is really today sending out mis-.
s1Onaries to other countries for the
| purpose of urging them to improve
their social and labor legislation.
She is endeavoring to get interna-
tional agreements in order to prevent
! other countries from horribly ex'
plotting their wage workers and In
this manner taking. away from Ger
many her international trade.
Nor is Germany alone in this desire
to obtain an International code.
Nearly all the European countries
are being driven by the Socialists tc
adopt radical reform measures. t..
Governmental insurance, old-agt
pensions, workmen's compensation
housing reform and other such meas
ures are being forced upon the gov.
