STRIKE AT BIRMINGHAM.

Birmingham, Eng-Recently 400 men,
women and girls went out on strike at
the Birmingham small arms factory.
They had demanded an extra shilling a
week, and the firm was apparently in
favor of conceding this on condition
that the men work two hours extra a
week, fifty-two instead of fifty hours.
This being refused. the workers quit I;
they subsequently induced other work
ers to join with them, SO that now over
three thousand are out. 1t is stated al
SO that the work being done by men in
other shops is being done at the Bir.
mingham factory by girls. Since the
strike has been entered upon the ques.
ton of unionists working with non-un-
ionists has also been brought to the fore
and will be settled before the strike is
over.

WoRkMEN'S coMPEN-
SATIoN COMMISSION
Prominent Labor Men Attending Ses
sions and Aid by Valuable and Per-
tinent SUGGESTIONS.

tinent Suggestions.
Washington, Nov. 11.-While the Con-
gressional Employers Liability and
Workmens Compensation commission
are agreed on many of the main features
nf plan of compensation to be pre-
sented to the coming session of con-
gress, yet there are many important de-
tails which are yet to be worked out.
Sessions are now being held and the rep
resentatives of the employers and of Ia
Dor are in attendance. Prominent among
those appearing before the commission
we're President Gompers, John Garrett
son, of the railway conductors; w. l..
Lee, of the railway trainmen Timothy
Healy, of the stationary fremen, and
others. One of the main questions is
the method and composition of an
awarding tribunal. President Gompers,
in large measure, endorsed the com
missions plan of insuring railroad en-
ployes against accident, but was en-
phatic in his opinion relative to the
question of administration. He insisted
that the tribunals should consist of one
representing the employer, another rep
resenting the employees, while the third
should be a physician of good standing
and acceptable to the other two repre-
sentatives. The commission suggested
the idea of placing the power of selec-
ton of awarding boards with the federal
courts, to which Mr.. Gompers replied:
ITO confer this authority on the courts
is equivalent to saying that the courts
are not governed by politics, and 1 am
not sure that this is always the case"
He added that he did not believe, as a
rule, that the courts were prompted by
improper motives, but said that the en-
vironment and education of most judges
are such as to render them incapable of
correctly determining questions pertain
ing to industrial life. He also urged the
abandonment of the idea of remunerat-
ing injured employees by the payment of
lump sums, arguing that generally the
workman, having had no experience in
commercial life, with the ever-decreas-
ing opportunities for the survival of
small business enterprises, with failure
almost certain in large percentage of
cases, the stated compensation plan was
The most humane to the injured employe
and beneficial to society. 1t was also
urged that the plan or scheme should
be SO formulated as to cover all rail
roads, and contributions go to a common
fun, combating the idea presented by the
commission, that each railroad or sys-
tenn be responsible only for the acci-
dents occurring on it's lines. The idea
Involved is, that the better equipped and
safer roads will become force in COM
pelling the poorly equipped roads to
bring their equipment and safety devices
up to that of the better equipped roads.

ical unions, and Mr.. Crinion will also

MINERS RESTLESS.

London.-There is no abatement in
the feeling that national strike of min
ers is imminent. There are many griev-
ances and they will very soon be
brought to a head, owing to the fact
that no agreement seems possible to be
reached between the coal operators and
miners. The miners federation has
practically agreed that the minimum
wage for which they are contending
should vary in certain districts, but the
operators have not yet come to this
view, although it is modification of the
original demand put forth. The North
umberland miners are demanding a min
imum wage of thirty per cent above the
basis of 1879, as well as the abolition of
the three-shift system. Other trouble is
on in Wales over the non-unionists work
ing in the pits. The Lancashire and
Cheshire miners federation and the
Coal Operators association are now in
negotiation. The South Wales miners
federation is also demanding an increase
of 1A per cent on the standard rate of
wages.

FREE TEXT BOOKS.

Nashville, Tenn.-The board of educa-
ton has adopted plan whereby the
free text book system will be inaugura-
ted in the city schools. The committee
having the matter under consideration
recommended that plans should be made
to inaugurate this system in 1912, by in
Producing at least two grades each year
until the pupils of every grade in the
Igrammar schools have free books. 1t
stated that this action will have the eff
feet of largely increasing the attendance
lin the public schools. The board also
has under consideration the matter OF
pension for school teachers.

UNCLE SANS COAL MINE.

Washington.-As an auxiliary to an ir-
rigation project, the department of the
interior has gone into the coal business
lat Williston, N. d. The government
owns and operates a coal mine. 1t is
stated that the conditions under which
the miners live and work are good. The
eighthour day prevails, six days week,
and the miners are enabled to make $40
a month. 1t is said that on an average
the miners make about five dollars a
day, the schedule being sixty cents ton
for room work; seventy cents in ten
foot entries, and eighty cents in seven
foot entries. The cost of the coal to the
government approximates SLIGO ton,
while the retail price of coal in Willis
ton is $3.50. 1t has been sought to de-
wise a model mine, with adequate exits,
SO that entombment is considered i'm
possible; modern safety appliances have
been installed, while system of ventil-
alton has been put in by which the air
in tunnels two thousand feet under
ground is considered to be kept almost
as fresh as on the surface

LACE WORKERS.

Nottingham. Eng.-Serious trouble is
brewing among the lace workers. Re
Gently the trade board fixed minimum
rate for lace workers and now 1t is
stated that number of the workers
are being asked to contract out" for
six months and accept less than the min
imum, 2Ad per hour. This action is
taken by the middle women, but some
of the best employees do not countenance
the. coercion that is being attempted. An
appeal is being issued on behalf of the
lace workers for funds.

CANADIAN INNOVATION.

Montreal Can. - American judicial
methods are being inaugurated in this
city. Recently the street railway en-
ployes formed an organization; the com
pany, as is usual in its efforts to de-
stroy the union, discharged forty of the
men who had become members. 1mme'
diately following, the officials OF the un-
ion, exercising their right under the ] Q
mieux act, otherwise known as the In
dustrial Disputes act, demanded COM
mission of inquiry. This commission
was accordingly appointed, the members
of the Street Railwaymen's union select
ing their representatives, the company
and the government doing likewise
Then followed a turn in the affairs, the
company, on advice of it's solicitors, 60
ing into court and asking that a re-
straining order be issued forbidding the
commission from sitting and exercising
it's functions under the Dominion law.
The point raised by the attorneys for
the company was that the Dominion par
lament had no legal right to interfere
in what was termed provincial rights.
In other words, it was contended thai
there was a conflict between what in the
United States would be termed federal
and state rights. The injunction was
granted and is now pending an appeal.
This case is exceedingly unique and en-
phasizes the contention that the judi
ciary is endeavoring to extend its scope
OF authority and even to annul statute
law. Canada having no written consti-
tuition, the acts of the Dominion parlia-
ment have been at least assumed to be
supreme; the judge himself being
creature and subordinate to the laws of
the Dominion parliament

INITIATIVE AND REFERENDUM.
This Modern Legislative Method or
Trial Before the United States
Surname Court

This Modern Legislative Method on
Trial Before the United States
Supreme Court.
Washington.-The initiative and ref
erendum is up before the United States
supreme court, to be tested as to its
constitutionality. The original case
comes from Portland, Ore. Attorneys
from San Francisco and Portland re-
Gently appeared before the highest tri-
bunal in this country, in opposition to
the initiative and referendum. 1t was
contended by the attorneys opposing this
method that there could not, with due
regard to the federal constitution, be
two legislative powers in a state, name
ly, the legislature and the people. 1t
was further contended that taxes i'm
posed under the initiative and referen-
dunn were not by due process of law,
and violated "the equal protection of the
law" SO long as some persons were
taxed under the initiative laws and
others under legislative enactments. Dur
ing the arguments before the court in op-
position to the initiative and referen-
dunn method the attorneys were closely
questioned by Justice Lurton and Chief
Justice White. The questions and de-
meanor of the judges were critical and
indicated that their minds were not in
harmony with the argument being ad-
duced. A number of prominent attor-
neys appeared in defense of the initia-
tive and referendum, making splendid
arguments for its retention as legisla-
tive method in our scheme of govern
ment 1t was the opinion of those who
were in attendance during the argu-
ments that the supreme court will un-
doubtedly sustain the constitutionality
of this most benefcent act.

UNION PRINTERS WIN.

Poughkeepsie, N. Y.-The union print
ers have won victory in their fight
against local printing concern. In sub
mitting bids for the printing of ballots
for the general election the firm re-
ferred to was low bidder, and when the
contract was prepared it was drawn up
in accordance with the law and the
rules governing union labor-eight hours
per day, etc. To this the firm objected
and applied to the courts for manda-
mus compelling the election commission
to award the contract with the eight
hour clause eliminated. The court held
that the law was plainly in favor of the
contention OF the printers union; that
the public printing must be done under
eight hours and the pay of employees
must be in accordance with the prevail
ing rate pay.

SPEEDING UP IN ENGLAND.

London.-A number of cases have re
Gently been called to the attention of
the national union of boot and shoe
workers operatives, where employers
have handed the control of their lasting
and finishing rooms over to machine
company. In each instance not only has
friction resulted. but attempts have been
made to cut down wages and also to
speed up and thereby increase the out
put. 1t is stated that the machine COM
panies, in order to dispose of their prod
uct, promised impossible outputs. The
manufacturers naturally desired a dem
onstration, and in order to demonstrate,
machine companies have demanded that
absolute control of the factory be turned
over This method is similar to the
Taylor and Emerson systems In Ameri-
ca, and If there is a continuation serious
labor difficulties will follow.

in negotiations, but no doubt a confer

FOREIGN LABEL CAMPAIGN.

London.-The national union of boot
and shoe operatives, having adopted a
label to be placed upon the product of
its members, has instituted an active la
bel campaign. Union labels in this
country are few, and the agitation being
carried on by the boot and shoe workers
is, therefore, to some extent, novel.
