A Model Labor Convention.

Minneapolis Journal: The annual
convention Of the International Typo
graphical union in this city last week
was a model of its kind. There was
just the right admixture of work and
play-enough of play to give the dele
gates zest for the work; enough of
work to make the play all the more
enjoyable. Minneapolis certainly en-
joyed entertaining the delegates from
the subordinate unions Of what is one
of the oldest and best managed labor
organizations in the country.
The /. T. u. is a fine example of in
telligent and practical trades unionism.
1t not only guards the interests of it's
members and secures for them the
highest wages and best hours and con-
ditions of labor obtainable, but IL takes
care of it's invalided and superannu-
ated members as few other such or
CARNATIONS have been able to do. In
short, nothing that affects the printer
and his welfare is neglected by the l.
T. u. More than that 1t has built up
an enviable reputation for sacredly liv-
ing up to its contracts.
The good opinion the public has
formed of the I. T. II. was happily
strengthened in Minneapolis by the
character and work of the convention
just closed. The delegates were here
for serious business and with its intel
ligent transactions they allowed moth
ing to interfere. 1t was happy cir
cumstance that they were able to do
full justice besides to the hospitality
the local union and of the other or
CARNATIONS and the citizens generally.

Big STRIKE AYERTED
Milwaukee Road Makes Concessions
to Machinists and Settlement
Seems Probable.

Word has been received from Chi
cago to the effect that the threatened
strike among the 1000 machinsts
Of the Milwaukee road has been tenn
porarily averted, and it is believed
that the dispute will be entirely set
tied by the end of next week.
Although the officials have not
agreed to raise the mems wages from
3S cents to AZ cents an hour, the fol-
lowing concessions were made and
are now being carried out: Improve
ment on the ventilation and sanitary
conditions of the shop; every man to
get his pay when he quits; overtime
work to be SO arranged that it will
be more evenly divided; rearrange-
ment OF the machinery so that there
will be no more room for the placing
of raw and finished material the
company to employ no more handy
men and to hire machinists in the
places of those now working when
they quit or are discharged covering
OF the gears of exposed machines.
The raise of wages viii be dis
cussed next Monday, when President
A. J. Earring, who is now taking a
trip over the Pacific coast extension
returns to Chicago.
The men have voted to strike. but
no ultimatium has been sent to the
company.
The reason for asking higher wages,
1t appears, is the fact that machinists
on other western roads are getting
AZ cents an hour in almost every
instance

MAY ORGANIZE
ALL FARM HANDS
EFFORT TO BE MADE TO RAISE
WAGES IN ALL PARTS OF
NORTHWEST BY MEANS OF OR
GANIZATIoN--MEN ARE FOUND
TO BE VERY SCARCE.

Taking advantage Of the shortage
OF harvest laborers in the Pacific
northwest, where the grain crop this
season is estimated at more than 100,-
100000 bushels, several organizations,
not affiliated with any of the recog-
nized labor bodies, are reported to be
working in eastern Washington and
Oregon to form a farmhands' union,
the purpose being to raise the mini
mum wage Of laborers to $3.50 for a
day of eight hours. The scale for sack
sewers and forkers is fixed at IS a
day. while the pay for machine men
will be increased from $3.50 to 81 to
from $40 to $12 a day. Men in charge
of the movement declare that the pres.
ent scale, ranging from $3.50 to 81 a
day. is not high enough.

PHILOSOPHY OF WORK.

There is perennial nobleness, and
even sacredness. in work.
Were he ever SO benighted, forget
full OF his high calling. there is al
ways hope in man that actually and
earnestly works.
All true labor is sacred.
In all true work. were 1t but hand
labor, there is something OF divine
ness.
Labor, wide as the earth, has its
summit In heaven.
The modern majesty consists in
work.
What man can do is his greatest
ornament. ard he always consults his
dignity by doing It.
The true epic OF our times. not arms
and the man, but tools and thu man
an infinitely wider kind Of epic.
Labor Is life.

MAY GET IN Line
WITH SOCIALISTS
MOVEMENT. ON FOOT IN WINDY
CITY WHICH MAY RESULT IN
CHICAGO LABOR SUPPORTING
WHOLE SOCIALIST TICKET AT
COMING FALL ELECTION.

Believing that organized labor
must go into politics and that it will
receive from the two old political
parties nothing but abuse and injunc-
tions, the Chicago Federation of La
Dor, at its meeting last Sunday, de-
voted most of its time to the report
of it's political action committee.
The final action taken was to or
der sent to it's affiliated unions the
report of the committee, accompanied
by copy OF tho socialist party plat
form, and to place squarely before
the rank and file for referendum vote
the following questions:
"Shall organized labor indorse and
cooperate with the socialist party? or
Shall 1t indorse the organization,
by itself, of an Independent labor
party?
:"Will you abide by the decision of
the majority on these questions?"
The committees report, over which
the discussion arose, advocated indie
pendent political action and at the
same time requested the federation to
place itself on record as favoring
a new labor party. The report was a
big surprise to the delegates, es-
pecially to few who felt that the or
ganization should not depart from
the old idea of awarding its friends
and Furnishing its enemies through
the republican and democratic parties.
Two or three delegates expressed
themselves to. the. effect that they
thought the socialist party demanded
things that could not be expected I'M
til far in the future. They received
the reply that. no matter what were
the ultimate aims Of the socialist pro-
grarpme. the fact that they stood for
the very things asked for in the re-
port OF the efficient to give it the in

Street Car Men Get Raise.

In conformity with an agreement
made a year ago, the 10000 street
car men of Chicago will receive next
pay day cent more an hour, the
maximum being 20 cents. This makes
an increase of from 40 to 70 per cent
for the car men since 1902. Next year
30 cents an hour will be the maxi
MUM rate for motormen and conduc-
tors. In 1902 the car men were paid
II and Fl cents an hour. Those re-
ceiving the lower rate at that time
are now paid 20 cents, an increase
of IL cents an hour, or little more
than 20 per cent.
