GET WAGE INCREASES
Figures Compiled Showing In

American Railway Men.
Aggregate Wage Increase for 1911
Amount to $14,636,000.
Unions Responsible.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 9.-Railway
systems, with a mileage aggregating
47,5o0, have increased the wages of
employees during the. past year 4.s7
per cent over 1910. 1t must be borne
in mind, however, that a. consider
able proportion of the increase in
cluded in the per cent given will not
apply until 1912.
The different classes of employees
received the following percentage of
increase over the wages of 1910:
Trainmen, GAS per cent: shopmen,
6.5S per cent; telegraph operators
and dispatchers, 4.S8 per cent; sta
ton men, 3:16 per cent, and track
men, 2.1S per cent. The total amount
Of this increase means that there
will have been put into the pockets
of the employees at the close of 1911
the sum of $14,636,Q00 more than
was received for the same service in
1910.
This magnificent result is due sole
" to the effective organizations of la
Dor being maintained and strengthen
ed each year by the employees of the
great transportation lines Of the
country.

the International Longshoremen's
union, will try to have new form Of
label adopted at the convention Of
the American Federation Of Labor
which takes place a.. Atlanta Ga,
next week. Mr.. Cole left today.
The present sticker or label Of the
American Federation of Labor is said
to be wholly improbable for use on
sacks and bags, such as are used for
the putting UP Of mill products.
r The present system is to stick the
label on the sack. After it has been
handled few times the label falls
with the emblem and that will not
be changed in the least, but q better
way OF attaching it to the bag or
sack is needed badly, it Is stated.
The label Is the only guarantee to
show that the produc.. was manufact-
ured by organized labor and 1t is Inn
portant both TO- the concern and the
purchaser and the workers that each
sack is plainly marked. rs .,=..4

WORLD CRIES OUT FOR

Cause Of Poverty Is Discussed,

of This Generation.

The Minnesota State Conference OF
Charities and Corrections opened its
convention in Dulut!. last evening.
It brings to this city the leading
social workers of the state. Each and
every one of them is chuck full OF
good thoughts on the great social and
economic problems which are now
puzzling the minds OF the people.
The Labor World would be pleased
to cover the conference in detail with
g. complete review of all the speeches
and papers delivered, but the date of
the meeting and the time for the
printing of the Labor World clash,
and so all we can give our readers in
this issue is the following very timely
and able speech by Hon. p. M. Ring
dahl president of the conference.
Mr.. Ringdahl seems to have hit at
fundamentals in his excellent ad-
dress. He says things which both
please and displease, but they are the
truth, and that counts for everything
in the great moral and economic
contest of this generation. The
speech was as follows:

years, Duluth boasts the greatest ton
mage of any port in the world. To

cumstances would seem pardonable,
but there appears no disposition to
halt.

Miss Elizabeth Dinwiddie Finds
More Suffering Among the Un-
organized Factory Workers..
Is Travelling With Exhibition Un-
der Auspices Of National
Child Labor Committee.

Il find that the sons and daugh-
ters of men with established trades
and members of unions are not the
ones usually found on the streets,
in the shops and other places trying
to evade the labor laws" says Miss
Elizabeth Dinwiddie of the National
Child Labor committee of New York
city, who Is In Duluth with an ex-
hibition of startling labor conditions
gathered throughout the country.
Miss Dinwiddie is employed by the
national board to travel throughout
the country and present the labor
conditions as she finds them. She
has a large and interesting collec-
tion of pictures which bear out her
statement that there is work in plenty
to be done in regard to child labor.
The real purpose of sending Miss
Dinwiddie on tour of the country
is to awaken. people to the fact that
uniform legislation is needed.
Child Labor Causes.
1t is the sons and daughters Of
factory workers and others who never
had an established trade and robust
union to protect their interest and
get for them a living wage that are
found evading the labor laws.
The result is that the father needs
help to support his family. He finds
himself unequal to the task of caring
for the children as they come. He
needs more money. His earning ca
pacity is no greater. Much as he dis
likes to, he is forced to lie as to the
age of his children and they follow

his life over again. 49, a.
The condition of the new genera
tion, then, is no better than that Of
the preceding. Maybe not so good,
for perhaps the child begins younger
and his health may be undermined
sooner.
All sorts of filthy work in insan-
itary surroundings is done by chill
