The coal teamsters of New York
were recently successful in negotiating
a new scale with the coal dealers,
whereby the men are benefited by an
increase in wages of 81 per week.
All train dispatchers on the Illinois
Central road have been granted an in

are also to get an increase.
After two days stormy session the
convention of International Slate
Workers of America, held recently. at
Bangor, Me-, split in two separate
bodies. The order had about 1000
members and was recently enjoined
in the. courts from raising dues and
assessments. The split came on a
resolution to dissolve and form a new
organization, getting a new charter
from the American Federation: Of
Labor. Six locals adopted that course,
and two remain with the internation-
al union as an independent organiza-
ton.

considerable attention. Mr.. Littleton
intends to make a tour of the states
to address legislatures and committees
on the subject. What he proposes
virtually is great national system of
labor agencies, forming in effect one

Norway and one from Germany.

ILLINOIS LABOR CONDITIONS

The state senate committee for
investigating: the garment work
ers'= grievances, which sat in Chi
cago during the recent strike of
the Chicago garment workers, re-
ported to the senate on the ninth.
The committee had gone ex-
haustively into the question Of the
black-listing of employees by
means Of a labor bureau main
tanned in the Medinah Bldg,
which black-listing became opera
tive in all of the 26 houses in the
two manufacturers associations
Of this industry in the city of Chi
cago. &
This black-listing system, the
committee reported, has produced
"a far greater discomfort among
the. workmen IN this industry
than all other causes combined. -
The committee believed that the
evidence would, disclose ''that
while what are known as as
ISOLATION houses do not bar union
men from working in their plants
they do draw the line at about
60 per cent. -
And they were: satisfied that
wages were no better than they
were ten years ago. In view of
the fact that the state board of
arbitration has no power to exc
cute it's mandates, and therefore
is treated with contempt by both
employer and employee, law for
compulsory arbitration of contro-
versies was recommended.-The

VIOLATION OF LABOR LAWS

From time to time we hear
complaints Of the lack Of convic-
tons in cases for violation of the
labor law, particularly where the
alleged violation occurs in a fac
tory and relates to the sanitary
or limited age feature Of the law.
In the reports of the Commits
sioner of Labor it is noted that a
great number Of these cases are
brought by the department in the
lesser courts, and through an
agreement with the employer and
the complainant evidence war
ranting conviction is not forth
coming, thus multiplying to a great
extent any effort for reasonable
enforcement Of the law.
Our opinion is that very often
mistake in procedure is made
by having the department initiate
proceedings, for many reasons,
but one in particular is that in
case the complaint is dismissed in
the lower court when the depart
ment Institutes proceedings, there
is no chance for an appeal, as the
State Of New York, or any other
State for that matter, is denied
the right of appeal when a decis-
ion is rendered against it, when a
criminal action is at issue.
There is no question but that
better results would be obtained
in the enforcement of all labor
laws if the complaint was tried
at the instigation Of an individ-
ual or an organization, with the
commissioner acting in an advis-
Dry capacity as he would thus be
in position to aid materially by
advising, and the chances are
more than equal that where an
individual or an organization
were the prosecutor there would
be less chance for collision be-
tween the witnesses and the one
charged with the violation.
We may be mistaken as to the
outcome Of proceedings if carried
out on the lines as suggested
above, but change from the
present method, which has proven
| a failure, would do no harm, and
| there is a chance that it would
result in more convictions for
violation of labor laws, and thus
instill a more universal observ-
ance of them than now obtains.

tudC crime OuSnL not 10 De pre-
vented. It ought to be, if posi-
bic. But injunctions can no more
prevent crime than statutes can.
All that either can do is to pro-
hibit crime and authorize punish
ment of criminals.
The essential difference be-
tween them is that punishment
under crime statutes cannot he
inflicted until jury has deter
mined the guilt of the accused;
whereas punishment under an in
junction may be inflicted regard
less Of guilt, without jury trial
for protection of the innocent,
without even the appearance of
the innocent, without even
the appearance of witnesses
in court, but upon mere affi-
davits prepared by the COM
planning parties out of court, and
simply upon the arbitrary say so
of a judge. The labor injunction
is subterfuge for evading jury
trial in the interest Of business
classes and against working
classes.
All this is so we'll known that
it is difficult any longer to be-
lieve in the good faith Of any
writer or speaker who defends
labor injunctions as being legally
identical with ordinary injunc-
tons. All intelligent writer's and
speakers on the subject must
know that the element of prop
erty right is absent from labor
injunctions, that the element of
criminal accusation is present,
and that either absence Of the
former or presence of the latter
vitiates all injunctions except
labor injunctions, and would have
vitiated these before corpora
ton lawyers on the bench made
their new departure in injunction
law.
Another form of deceit which
is very common with writer's and
speakers who oppose labor organ
izations has to do with the &C.
ton Of the senate in striking out
from a trust prosecution bill a
house clause intended to protect
labor organizations from un]aw-
full persecution by federal off,
Gals and at public expense. Pres
ident Taft insisted that this
clause must come out, giving as
his reason that labor organiza-
tions must not be allowed by law
to violate the law, for that would
be class legislation. There is a
guilelessness about Mr.. Taft, a
mental drowsiness, which will
tempt considerate persons to at
tribute his misrepresentation of
the labor clause in. question, to
"any old thing rather than an
evil purpose. But the New York
Times, the New York Sun, the
President Of the National Asso-
citation Of Manufacturers these
and their like are not lacking in
wakefulness; and they, like Pres
ident Taft, refer to that clause as
if it would have exempted labor
organizations from prosecution
Tor laWlessness. What it. would
have exempted them from, was
uot lawlessness on their part, but
persecution by an interest-owned
government for acts not unlaw-
full. Read the rejected clause
self and see. So definite were the
terms Of this rejected clause, that
only three differences regarding
those who oppose it, from the
President all along the line, are
possible. First, ignorance of the
fact that the clause exempted
labor organizations only from
prosecution for lawful acts; Sec
ond, malicious Indifference to
that fact; or, third, desire to leave
the way open for the federal law

TWO PREDICTIONS
Of GREAT WAR

WASHINGTON, June 25.-Declar-
ing that war between the United
States and a foreign power is inevi-
table and unavoidable, and intimating
the invader will come from among the
Asiatic or Oriental peoples, Brigadier
General Leonard Wood, Chief of Staff,
U. S. A., and Rear Admiral ]. j..
Kane, retired, in stirring speeches de-
livered before the Army and Navy
Union at Washington Barracks, gave
their hearers to understand there is
little hope for peace, and that proba-
bly, the fiercest struggle of history is
imminent.
Admiral Kane, the first speaker,
served under Porter and Farragut. He
expressed the belief that Japan was
the most serious menace.
General Wood, who was not in the
room when Admiral Kane spoke, ar
rived shortly afterward. He express
ed the identical sentiments of the Ad-
miral. The United States is too rich
a prize, he declared, for powerful
countries to long forbear from at
tempting it's conquest.

Since we began selling lots in this

First: That the real demand is for
moderate size house lots-and in &C
cordance with our suggestion the own

into twelve smaller ones containing
from $4,000 to 10000 square feet; Still
good sized lots!
Second that the lots in this land
come pretty near selling themselves:
The reason? Because the lots are
not remnants nor undesirables left

choice locations. This is easily prov
ed by visit to the land. Let us show
