TYPOS IN Convention.
MONDAY " AUGUST. IA
Facts Cleaned from Reports of
President Lynch and Sec =
: Rotary Treasurer Hays. ,. rs

The reports Of the Officers Of the
International Typographical union for
the organizations fiscal year ending
They contain mass of interesting
data that will be appreciated not only
by the members of the typographical
union, but by all other trade unionists.
While the union was organized in
1852, this is the fifty-seventh conven-
tion that has BEEN held by the In
ternational Typographical union; it is
not the fifty-seventh annual gather
ing. In 1894 the organization adopted
the biennial idea and no convention
was held in 1895 or in 1897; a return
to annual conventions began with 1898
and they have been held yearly since
that time. es l4 - =
The reports of officers submitted to
the convention will show that for the
fiscal year ending May 81, 1910, the
biographical union earned $46,eo2.9 .944,
or an average Of $953 per member.
For the fihscal year ending May 81,
1911. the membership earned the total
Of $4s.770.66s.for an average per
member Of $973. H. III
The average membership for the
fiscal year ending with May, 1911, was
81. .os6, while the average membership
for the prior fiscal year was ~. .84S.

Has Formulated Plan to Induce
Workers to Join Unions Of -

Valuable Auxiliary to Pre-

The Labor World is in receipt of
q communication from President Hall
of the State Federation of Labor,
outlining plan for supplementing
present organization work in the
state.
The plan contemplates the securing
of the hearty cooperation of every
member of each union in inducing all
workers in ga whatsoever industry to
become affiliated with the unions OF
their craft. .-@et -. - -. . a.
1t is not intended that the new ar.
rangement shall be substitute for. or
system heretofore: in
vogue, but it is contemplated that it
shall constitute a valuable auxiliary
to the movement, and materially con-
tribute towards increasing the mem
bership of organizeds labor in this
state.
The details of the new plan are
pense, and the labor required of each
individual member in the furtherance
thereof requires practically but very
few moments of time. The member is
furnished with one or more suitable
blanks upon which lie Is urged to fur
n1sh the name and address of one OF
more non-union men in MS neighbor-
hood: The blank when thus filled is
required to be. returned to the Sec
retary of the local, or to E. G. Hail.

In order to effect cooperation be.
tween the various crafts. it matters
not whether the name returned be
of an individual that should be af.

FACTS BROUGHT TO LIGHT
BY LATE INVESTIGATION
Men Imprisonsd and Fed on
Bread and Water Until They
Accept Terms. y

WASHINGTON, Aug 10.-Tne La
Dor committee Of the house, to which,
had been referred by. the committee
on 5rulesthe Wilson resolution calling
for an Investigation of the alleged
peohage In Westmoreland. county, Pa,
held q bearing on Aug. i. Attorney
McNair, who has been attorney for
the miners and other labor organiza-
:tions, appeared on behalf Of the re-
49, Evidence Produced. ~ l..
The testimony brought out in re-
ference to the Irwin field coal strike
showed an appalling state Of affairs.
During this contest sixteen miners
were killed by deputies of the. COM
pany, many Of them in cold blood
and without provocation, and the ex-
streme sentence for these murders by
the courts In Westmoreland county
has been on the average three months
In jail. In connection with this hear
ing, Attorney McNair and Mrs. Fox
brought out a most terrible condition
of affairs which existed during the
etrikein the Pressed Car Wheel COM
pany's plant at McKees Rocks, Pa;
among unorganized workmen. 30, T.,
Clear Cases OF Peonage. 80 q.
: When the strike occurred, men
were brought in to take the strikers
places under false pretenses and were
not allowed to leave their employment
even though they desired, the COM
rany claiming that they must work
until their transportation had been
paid for. This, is in direct conflict
with the statutes and has been de-
cided to be peonage under the law.
Attorney McNair filed information Of
ipeonage before United States Attorney
.1ord at the; time OF Its occurrence,
but Mr.. jordan refused to issue q
warrant on the Information produced.
A little later an inniense mass Of
tnfor1na alton, charging peonage came
from mon who had been held against
their will in. the works. declaring that
they had been made prisoners and
forced to work for the Pressed Car
Wheel company against their wishes.
This evidence was presented by wit
necces under oath and subject to
cross examination by the company
before the authorized representative
Of the United. States Bureau of La
Dor. This Information, however, up
to the present time has not been
made public. It developed at the
hearing that United States District
Attorney Jordan: had taken UP the
matter with the department Of justice
at Washington and the department
of justice had refused to take cogniz-
ance of 1t. This, Is one of the most
|reprehensible acts ever committed by
the department of justice and also
places the legal representatives In a
peculiarly conspicuous position of
idisregarding the laws relating to Ia
Dor: It was stated before the COM
1t!ittee that where the men who were
compelled to take the place Of the
strikers refused to work, they were
placed in box car and fed on bread
and water until they would agree to
again return to work. While the COM
mittee has not yet taken any definite
action. as soon as the testimony and
:breif is printed the entire matter will
be certified to the Rules committee,
which, In turn, Will undoubtedly take
definite action. - ~" %s} LII J, ~ = ~. :.
