NORTH DAKOTA OFFICIALS
INSIST ON UNION Label,

GRAND FORKS, N. D., Aug. 15.-
A number of the county officers
from various parts of the state are
demanding the union label on their
blank books, and they are being
readily supplied. 80.
When it is considered that outside
Of the large cities Of the state the
average person rarely comes in con-
tact with trade unionism, this is in
deed a tribute to trade unionism. The
knowledge OF, the, public in an agri-
cultural state, such as North Dakota,
IS confined principally to reading the
highly colored stories in the daily
press about strike In some part Of
the country, which Is intended to
prejudice the mind OF the reader.

GARMENT WORKERS MAKE
USE OF UNION LABEL

WASHINGTON, . Aug. 15.-The
United Garment Workers Of America
have succeeded i'm unionizing the
American Woolen Mills, OF Newport,
Ky. and granted it the use of the
union label.
The strike at the factory of Lesser
& Turco, New York, which has been
in progress for nine weeks, involving
175 shirt ironers, has been settled. BY
the terms of the adjustment, the
strikers have gained a complete VIC
tory, which will materially aid them
in organizing several non-union shops
which have been hindrance to the
progress of local No. 142 for some
time past.
Organizer Schwarz has concluded
an agreement with the Case Manu-
featuring company of Parkersburg,
w. Va, for the use of the. Garment
Workers Union label.

HOTEL employees Of
BOSTON ORGANIZE
international Union Prepares for
Battle to Improve Conditions.
Bosses Made Concessions.

BOSTON, Aug. ia big move
ment Is under way here to organize
the hotel employees and there Is little
doubt that Boston will soon be facing
a general strike of hotel workers such
as was fought in New York about two
months ago. The success of the
Walkout in New York has no doubt
inspired the workers of this. city to
follow the example and to fight the
battle for better conditions.
The work of organizing the hotel
employees is being done by Edward
Blochlinger and Michael Dumas the
leaders of the strike in New York.
Over 1000 walters and cooks have al
ready enrolled in the union and ap-
plications for membership are being
received in large numbers daily.
Rose Pastor Stokes, of Stamford,
Conn.,, the, Socialist speaker whose
activity in the revolt of the hotel en-
pioyes Of New York was such a
marked feature and which helped
much in, the success Of the strike, has
been here for more than week in
the interests of the International
Hotel Workers Union This is the
same organization which managed
the recent strike against the intoler-
able conditions : IN the metropolis.
Mrs. Stokes has devoted her time and:
energy to the mattresses and cham
bermaids. She is meeting with great
success, the women hotel workers
taking fully as much interest in the
movement as the men employees
Conditions here have been on the
same low level here as pertained In
New York before the strike; low
wages, long hours, no days off, and
food that is of the poorest. Most Of
the food served is nothing but the
waste or the remnant of meals served
to guests.
The hotel managers, fearing gen.
eral outbreak, have made concessions
to the employees. An increase of SIS
q month has been granted in several
of the hotels in addition to two days
a month off.
The union hopes that the demands
will be granted without 4 general
walkout but all preparations are un-
der way to begin struggle for bet
ter conditions of labor If it is found
necessary. ='. ~.s
