LABOR UNION NOTES
OF WIDE INTEREST
Correspondent Thinks Civic Federation
Was Weakened by the Loss to
II Of John Mitchell.

SO much has been heard about the civic
federation and its relation TO labor that
feel constrained in airing my person
al views on the matter, recognize
fully that the trade unonists of this
country need expect no concessions from
such men as Carnegie, Francis, Belmont
and others, beyond those concessions
they are able TO wrest from them
through the power and efficiency OF
their organizations, So far as ! am
concerned, / am ready and willing TO
say now, ''Let us condemn them" For
years | have had them condemned in
my mind, but am not willing that their
names shall be connected with men we
know are loyal to our movement. | am
not willing to believe that John Mitch
ell is traitor TO the labor movement,
A man who gave up an $4,000 position
to retain a union card in the mine work
ers' union is not the man you find be-
trayipg labor's cause. | am not willing
to believe that Samuel Gompers or
James Duncan will knowingly betray the
interests of organized labor,
II the national civic federation were
only composed of Carnegie, Francis and
Belmont, there would be no hesitaney
on my part in eondemning the civic
federation. But, fellow-workers, have
YOU been given correct representation
Of the status Of the civic federation
The civic federation, in addition to
Carnegie. Francis and Belmont, has en-
rolled in its membership scholars and
students, workingmen, philanthropists
and men coming from all classes of so
eia life. There are also enrolled in
its membership, / believe, some sixteen
heads of the various national and in
ternational trades unions of the country,
The statement has been made that
YOU will know a tree by its fruit

the Wizard Burbank has demonstrated
that You can by grating and budding,
practically determine for yourself ut any
stage Of trees growth what the char
acter of the fruit will be. You can
do this by taking proper measures. And
so il Is in these movements, The names
Of Carnegie, ct, al, are only names of
those labor had probably good reason
TO despise. But there are Others con-
nected with the movement. II labor
can have adequate representation in
every employers conference, strikes will
be practically eliminated. II you have
honest, able representatives there, you
can convince them of the truth and
sincerity of your attitude, and in many
instances demonstrate to the employers
that your claims are exceedingly modest.
| want TO ask any fair minded work
ingman II the removal of John Mitch

ter, or whether You destroyed any OF
its strength for good. maintain that
with men like John Mitchell and other
capable labor representatives in po-
sition where they can take a decided
interest, we will stand a better show
of creating Of this institution some
thing that will be beneficial to organ
lied labor in its entirety.

indianapolis. The suit of John r.
Dougherty, coal miner, against coal
mining company has been confirmed by
the appellate court of Indiana in the
sum of $3.50 for damages caused by
rock falling from the roof Of the coal
mine. The mining company contended
that the evidence showed the miner was
assuming the danger of the loose rock
because he had called the attention
of the mine boss to it and had begun
to work under the rock after the boss
had placed some props under the loose
rock. and that the effect was such that
the miner could have made examination
and determined the safety for himself
The appellate court holds, the mine
boss having undertaken to make the
place safe, the miner was not bound to
examine the boss work to see il it was
well done, nor was there any assumption
of risk.
