BERGER ANSWERS BISHOP.

| Victor l.. Berger, Congressman-elect
on the Socialist ticket from Milwaukee,
and a delegate to the American Fedora
! ton of Labor convention in st. Louis,
and one of the foremost union labor men
in the world, in answering the attack
made on Socialism by Archbishop ]. j.
Glennon, says that the archbishop is not
much of student of labor conditions.
Archbishop Glennon intimates that
Socialism is the philosophy of the beer
mug" said the Socialist delegate to the
American Federation of Labor conven-
tion. THAT is. very unfair and does not
show much learning. l might say with
as much justice that the archbishop's re-
ligion is the religion of the whiskey bot
tle That, of course, would be unfair
I'VE cannot discuss the great social
problem of the day in that manner
Archbishop Glennon contends that the
Roman Catholic church will solve the Ia
Dor question. That church had more
than 1900 years to do SO, but has not
done it. l may add that the conditions
of the working men in civilized countries
is nowhere SO wretched as in Roman
Catholic countries, namely. Ireland,
Italy, Spain, Portugal, Mexico and the
South American republics.
'It is in these countries that labor is
down to its lowest ebb. In France, Bel
GUM and Austria conditions were i'm
proved after terrific fights with the Ro-
man Catholic church. And yet Arch
bishop Glennon says the Roman Catho-
lie church will solve the labor question.
"The only reasonable ground for the
fears of the archbishop and of other dig
nitaries of the Roman Catholic church is
that Socialism will bring enlightenment,
education and high culture to the masses,
and that certain priests would lose their
grin on the masses"

CONSTITUTION ADOPTED.

The constitution for the new state of
New Mexico was formally adopted Tues
day by the constitutional convention
after an all-night session.
The final session was devoted mainly
to the discussion of the provision con-
corning future amendment of the consti-
tuition. The Republican majority forced
through provision making it very diff
cult to amend the document
The principal features of the consti-
tuition are an elective corporation COM
mission which has the right to regulate
rates, but has no judicial powers; ref
erendum provision, but no initiative; the
exclusion of prohibition provision, a
drastic anti-pass provision. the abolition
of the fee system and provision grant
ing women the right to vote at school
elections.

U. $. WANTS DATA ON STRIKE.

The explosion at the railroad depot at
independence, Colo, during the Cripple
Creek strike in 1904 remains a diplo-
matte question between the United States
and Norway. The Norwegian ambassa-
dor, C. GUIDE, several months ago, noti-
fed the secretary of the United States
that damages must be paid to Edward j.
Holland, who was SO injured in the ex-
plosion that amputation of both legs be-
came necessary. A. A. Adee, acting Sec
retary of state, has written to Governor
Shafroth requesting him to assist the
United States in learning the points in
the case. Mr.. Adee desires to know the
history of the explosion, its cause and
what efforts were made to apprehend
and punish the perpetrators. ~
We would suggest that the ambassa-
dor consult the evidence submitted in
the trial of Haywood at Wallace, Idaho,
when it was testified that the station was
blown up by men in the employ of the
wine Owners Association.

CHARLES w. FEAR ELECTED.

Charles w. Fear, well known to the
union men of Missouri, was elected in
the Joplin district as representative, be-
ing the only Republican representative
of the three chosen in Jasper county.
Fear received many Democratic votes
and ran 500 votes ahead of the candidate
for senator on the state ticket and 300
and 400 votes of other candidates in the
same territory. Many trade unionists
were on the firing line all day and
worked hard for his election, knowing
that he must receive many independent
votes to be elected.
Charles W. Fear has been for years
active in trades union affairs, and his
election will please many former friends
among the unionists of Denver, as well
as throughout the state. He is editor
of the Missouri Trades Unlonist, pub
lished at Joplin.

1ocENT ASSESSMENT VITAL.

The officers of the State Federation OF
Labor are preparing the call for TO-
cent assessment to be levied on all af-
filiated organizations. 1t is the custom
previous to sitting of the general as
sembly to ask for a 10-cent assessment
to support legislative committee to lob
by at the state house for bills that are
desired to be passed favorable to the
working classes in general. During past
sessions the work of such a committee
has been very beneficial and has resulted
in many good laws being placed on the
statute books. These committees were
successful in preventing much legislation
in the sixteenth several assembly that
would have, If passed, worked great
harm to the labor movement in general.
At the coming assembly many bills
will be introduced which, If passed, will
make the burden of the toiler easier. An
eight-hour bill, bill to repeal the anti
boycott law, and an employers liability
bill will be introduced, and more rigid
mine inspection law is desired, and II
the unionists desire these laws they must
vote for this 10-cent assessment and send
legislative committee to work among
the members of the legislature. Let us
all work to get this small assessment
through the different organizations.

THE CRISIS PASSED.
Threatening Strike of Street Car Men
Has Been Settled.

Threatening Strike OF Street Car men
Has Been Settled.
The threatened strike of the street
railway employees against the Philadel-
phia Rapid Transit Company has been
averted, according to reports from that
city. An agreement has been reached
and is said to be satisfactory to both
sides, and the men will continue to work.
The Philadelphia motormen and con-
ductors have been trying for three years
to get better hours and better pay from
the Philadelphia Rapid Transit Com
pany. Their latest strike was started
last spring The business of the city
was paralyzed for time and $4,000 men,
defying the orders of the mayor marched
to independence hall and held meeting
of protest.
That the strikers had the sympathy of
their affiliated unions was shown when a
general strike was ordered, and for a
time the city was in dire distress from a
business standpoint There was even
danger of the water supply being cut off,
because the engineers and other city
workers in that branch of the administra-
tion were willing to join in the cause OF
the men of the cars.
Inc state COuStdDuldly Wdo OiuSi GU
out, number of men were killed during
periods of rioting, and it was estimated
that all told Philadelphia lost three mill
lion dollars in wages and trade earnings
while the strike was on.
In view of their experience 1t is not
strange that the people of Philadelphia
do not want another car strike, and
pressure was brought to bear on the
company to treat its men fairly.
In this city there is no change report
ed in the conditions effecting Division So
of the street railway employees organiza-
ton and the .Pittsburg Railways Com
pany. The situation is critical and a
strike may occur at any moment. The
men have by resolution empowered the
executive board to call strike, should
the company attempt to hire any but
those members who, it is claimed, were
laid off to curtail expenses, but who,
the men believe, were laid off simply be-
cause they joined the union.
The street car men decided recently
to admit all shop and barn men to mem
bership, and at meeting held a short
time ago 165 of these employees Joined
and day or SO later were let out by the
company stated above.-Iron City

MEN oFaLABoR IN CONVENTION.
By the Rev. Charles stelzIe.

by tne rev. CudrIeS SteiZle.
The American Federation of Labor
convention now in session in st. Louis is
probably the biggest in the history of the
organization. There are about four hun
dred delegates almost every
one of them, and all on the job. / have
attended six consecutive conventions,
and I've had chance to know practical
ly every man who attends these conven-
tons, for most of them come year after
year. Any man who attempts to deceive
these delegates is hauled up short and
sharp. They know the game and they
can't be fooled That's the advantage of
sending veterans, although it's a good
plan to inject some new blood into the
convention each year. The way they fol-
low an argument in the discussion is an
amazing thing even to the newspaper
men. who are accustomed to listening to
debates and being always alert to the
points being made.
President Gompers' annual report was
a great document. 1t showed the acu-
men of statesman. All talk about GUST
ing him from the presidency is nonsense,
for there will be no real opposition to
him, and he will undoubtedly be unani-
mously reelected The Socialists will
make no open fights on him, and they
will not offer the usual "Socialistic reso-
lutions." They will fight-if they fight
at alias bona fide trades unionists, and
they will declare warfare against the
common enemy. It's a healthy sign that
the Socialists in the convention are be-
coming more opportunist in their propa-
ganda.
But these jurisdictional strifes-what
a bane they arel 1t will be great day
when the various organizations can get
together and honestly talk through their
differences, and then stand by the deci-
sion arrived at. But we're very human
most of us-and this accounts for lot
of the cussedness that often crops out.
On the whole, there's fine spirit
among the delegates. The general char
acter of the men is improving. This is
evident during even the short space OF
half a dozen years. To see them in the
lobbies of the hotels they look as keen
and as clean as any group of business
men. They are crowd of which the
labormen of America may well be proud
Let's stand back of them. They have a
pretty tough job at best.

c. & s. MEN FAVOR A STRIKE.

Colorado & Southern officials have
been advised that vote being taken by
engineers on the question of striking If
the company fails to grant an increase in
pay is practically unanimous in favor
of the strike. The vote is being taken
on sixty-one western railroads and is
the result of the failure of the men and
the railroad managers to get together in
Chicago early this month.
Negotiations will be renewed between
the companies and men in about two
weeks and the men expect the negotia-
tions will be better facilitated through
the granting of the power to the COM
mittee representing them to call a
strike, if necessary to enforce their de-
mands. 1t is not really expected that a
strike will take place, as indications are
that before a crisis is reached one side
or the other will appeal to the mediation
committee of the interstate commerce
commission.

A SURPRISE WEDDING.

What was a surprise to their many

Bartlett and Carroll Lutz, both members
of the Garment Workers union and en-
ployed at the Bayly- -Underhill factory.
They endeavored to keep the wedding
a secret, but the editor overhead some
of their friends whispering it in the cor
ridor of the Club building, and therefore
must make such deep secrets known.

it is not generally known. The Bulletin

REPORTS OF 4. ?. OF |. OFFICERS

The 1911 convention OF the A. F. Of L.,
which is now in session at st. Louis, is
considered one of the greatest conven-
tions of the International body that was
ever held. The strongest men in the
labor movement are present and the
most important and most difficult propo-
sitions to handle OF those before any con-
vention are occupying the time of the
delegates.
The popularity of President Gompers
was never more apparent than at this
convention, and the great ovation given
him when he took his seat at the open
ing of the convention gave proof of the
greatness of the union warrior.
President Gompers' annual report is a
lengthy document, reciting in detail the
various gains of labor during the year
just past, and in reviewing the late con-
gressional session and its attitude to Ia
Dor bills. According to Gompers' report,
the past year has shown steady growth
for the Federation, as the following fig
ures, which cover the period from Sep
tember 80, 1909, to September 80, 1910,
