WHAT UNION
LABOR CAN DO.
BY NJ. GRANT HAMILTON.

Last summer the Amalgamated Asso-
citation of Street Railway Employees took
up the work of organizing in Kansas
City, Mo. While the employees of the
street railways were anxious and enthu-
siastic for organization, the company dis
played bitter antagonism and victimiz-
ed many of them; so many, in fact, that
it became necessary to relax the efforts
being put forth for organization.
However, the company was negotiating
with the city for an extension of Its fran
chise. The franchise in existence does
not expire until 1925, but with the usual
eagerness of public utility corporations
it desired to extend its life until 1862,
or u period of forty.two years.
The city council accommodated the
company by endorsement, only a few
members of that body voting against it.
But franchises in that city have to be
ratified by the people, and accordingly
December 10 was the date selected on
which the voters were to decide the ques-
ton.
One of the active opponents of the
granting of the special privilege was n
member of the local Tailors union, Isaac
Taylor by name, he being u member of
the upper house of the city council.
Taylor was supported in his position
by the Industrial Council and forceful
campaign was inauguratcd by the latter
body. Through the activities of the local
unions 4 thorough canvass was made. and
when the people had expressed themselves
at the ballot box it REVEALED that organic
ed labor had won notable victory
The franchise was defeated by over
1000 votes.
And there are those who minimize the
extent to which the nfluence of collective

MEN WHO GROW RICH
FROM BLOOD MONEY

An attack upon church forces for their
attitude toward the great social move
ments of the day, and indirectly upon the
worldwide interests in foreign missions,
enllvened the eighth annual session of the
sixth annual conference on child labor
at Boston University last week.
In its indifference to the child labor
movement said Rev. John Holmes, of
the Church of the Messiah, New York,
: the church is living up to its own record.
The church never has been the cham
pion of social reform or the leader of So
cial progress.
'This condition is due, first, to denomi-
nationalism; second, to interest in an
other world instead of this world, and
third, to the overwhelming interest in
foreign missions instead of home mis-
sions.
The men most argely responsible for
the labor of children, the men who grow
rich from the blood money created by
working children, are the men who TODAY
are sitting in the front pews''

SCHOOL TEACHERS NEXT.

The Colorado Teachers Association,
comprising membership of 1000, in
session in Denver the latter part of last
December, by. an unanimous vote decid
cd to send fraternal delegates to charter
ed central bodies of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor. The state labor com
missioner, Edwin V. Brake, was elected
a member of the educational counc:- of
the association.
An address was delivered by Labor
Commissioner Brake before the associa-
ton, urging the school teachers to in
form themselves as to the objects of
union labor. That much interest was
evinced is evidenced by the action taken
by the association as noted.
Apparently it would be difficult mat
ter to convince the great majority of
school teachers throughout the country
that they are "wage carriers. Unfor
tunately, many of them, unwittingly,
however, regard themselves as in the
professional category. While school
teaching may technically be assigned to
be professional vocation, yet the
fact that salary or ''wages' is re-:
ccNed Ior services performed uncrrlngly
blends the professional with the
''wage Garner
Much prejudice has been engendered
in the minds of school teachers for rea-
sons already referred to, but with the
beggarly wages paid the pedagogue, cou-
pied with the ever increasing cost of the
necessities of life, there is a growing I'M
rest among the teachers.
AS the Colorado school teachers have
determined to give car to the arguments
of union labor, there can be no good
reason advanced why labor officials of

GREATsBATTLE OF
THE SWITCHMEN,
Are Standing Firm by Thsis Demands
For Better Wages--Not Break in
Their Ranks.

The striking switchmen are making a
splendid fight against tremendous odds.
They have opposed to them every rail
road company in the country from the
cheapest ''Jim Crow line in the south
to the greatest of the systems.
They are opposed by the public press,
the corporations, the commercial clubs,
and not few representing the business
interests.
The northwest railroads have induced
all other systems to interest themselves
in making the strike a failure, the evil
dent purpose being to commence with the
Switchmen g Union and then disrupt all
other railroad organizations.
The railroads interested evidently in.
tend to run with the makeshifts they
have imported from the slums into the
yards hoping gradually to return to nor

themselves for their strike losses by in.

every railroad union in the northwest, if

is concerned it is an investment.

PENN AND HARVARD RESU ME OLD
 RELATIONS
SWIMMING TEAMS WILL MEET EITHER ON FEB. FIFTH
 OR 22ND.

For the first time since the mem orable break of 1905, Pennsylvania and Harvard will probably this year come together in dual athletic con- test. The first step in the resump- ton of athieuIc relations has been taken by the swimming teams of the two institutions.
 A swimming meet has been sched- uel by the intercollegiate association, to take place either at Philadelphia on February 12, or at Cambridge on February 22. Heretofore one or the other team forfeited the meet rather that compete, but this year it is now virtually assured that no such forfeit will be necessary, and the two col leges will resume athletic relations for the first time since the 1905 foot ball game on Franklin field.
 Graduate Manager Garcelon of Harvard, when interviewed at meet ing of the Intercollegiate Athletic as- sociation, said:
 There is no reason why Harvard should not meet Pennsylvania in swimming. We will undoubtedly have a team on hand, unless notified to the contrary by Pennsylvania.
 "Our football schedule is already too hard for the scheduling of a game with Pennsylvania in the near future, but in other branches of sport liar yard will meet all who seem suit able rivals, and there is no reason to make an exception of Pennsylvania. This places the matter strictly within the hands of the Quakers."
