A NEW DEPARTURE.

Court Issues Injunction Against En-
pIoyees of Labor.
Union horseshoers I'm Cincinnati have
won a notable victory not only for
themselves. but for organized labor DO
general, although the benefits to the
labor movement outside Of the Ohio
metropolis may not be realized for
some time All but four Of the Union
shops in that city locked out their Iu-
ion employees when they asked for a
new wage agreement The locked out
men took the matter to court. and the
Judge before whom the case was tried
held that the lockout was in restraint
Of trade and granted a temporary in
junction against the employers, order
ing that the lockout be discontinued
until a further hearing Of the case
could be had.
This is a new departure for a court
in a labor case and one in the right di-
rection, says the Minnesota Union Adj
vocate. But doubtless the employers
now think the writ of injunction is a
very mean and hurtful thing They
would not think 50. however if 1t had
been used against the men instead Of
themselves. a great deal depends on
whose OK is gored

Industrial Diseases.

The failure of the national and state
governments to protect workmen from
preventable diseases of industry is
strikingly brought out in report just
issued of the second national confer
ence on Industrial diseases. 1t is
shown that In three years the Illinois
commission found 57S cases of lead
poisoning in that state and that a
hasty and incomplete study disclosed
121 cases Of this one disease of occu-
patton In New York city alone. Many
OF these were due to the absence Of
regulations requiring the use of simple
protective devices and practices which,
1t is pointed out, are In general use in
Germany and England under legisla-
ton providing for the payment of in
surance benefits In the case of sick
ness directly due to industry.

LABOR POORLY PAID.
Workers In United States Do Not Re
eeive Living Wage.

/ workers IN Onited states 10 NOT ne
eeive Living Wage.
+ A man who took the trouble to TOOL
into the conditions and remuneration
of labor has written n book on wages
paid in the United States Here ar,
some facts he has discovered;
Not more than 10 per cent of the in
dustrial workers of the country re
ceive over $1,000 a year One-half OF
them get less than $500 year.
The industrial earnings Of three
fourths Of the women workers amount
to less than $500 a year
After exhaustive investigation the
United States bureau of labor has con
Guided that 5000 a year is the lowest
wage upon which an American work
lngman can support a family and main
tain his efficiency as a worker
On this basis and with conditions
such as statistics prove exist It ap
pears that approximately only a little
more than one-tenth OF the workers of
the country are providing their famil
les and themselves with a proper liv
ing
These facts are most vital The per
petuity Of civilization Is involved I'm
less it can maintain It's workers the
nation cannot be maintained
II Is shown by existing wage condi
tons that there is cause for grave
concern over the high cost OF living.
and the chief duty Of American states
manship Is to find a solution OF the
problem Buffalo Enquirer.

TeIegraphers' Union Demands Aboli-
ton of the Blacklist
The executive committee Of the New
York branch Of the Commercial Teicg
raphers' Union of America has made
arrangements to send representatives
to the officials Of the Western Union
Telegraph company to ask for the
arbitration Of grievances, which in
clude the blacklisting of employees for
belonging to the union.
The union has six divisions In the
United States and Canada. In the de
mands the questions of wages or rec
ognition of the union will not come
up. but the committee will insist on
the right of employees to join the mn
ion without being discharged.
The committee will be a volunteer
one. as there is a general fear that It's
members will be discharged By the
company. Nothing will be done in
the way Of declaring a strike until we
hear from the other locals in case the
committee cannot bring about arbitra
ton" said a union official
1t is alleged that forty-three men
have been discharged recently because
they belonged to the union.

UNION DIVIDENDS.

Speaking of dividends" the
greatest dividend payer in the
field of organized labor is the
union label
When you purchase a union
label article you deny a dividend
to the unfair employer and trans
fer it to the fair employer You
refuse work to the nonunion
worker and give it to the union
brother. You help the union
workman to get better wages.
which strengthen the entire la
Dor movement and help you to
better your own condition. The
union label means dividends" to
all union labor and the rigid
Withholding of sustenance from
the enemies Of the union men

unfair men who work for them.

MASTERPIECE
 IF SCULPTURE
Exact Copy of Houdin's Life Size Statue of George Washington to be Placed in High School Auditorium.

Within the next few days Professor Stabler of the high school will place an order with the C. Hennecke com pany of Milwaukee, Wisconsin for a cast of Houdin's famous statue of Washington. The funds for this pur- chase were provided by the seniors of 1912, who left the high school over one hundred dollars to be devoted to the purchase of some object of art.
 In it's history he original statue is connected with many of the great names in American history. In 17S5 the state of Virginia resolved to erect a statue of Washington and the gov ernOr set about finding an able artist. Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Jef- fersOn were then in Paris on a diplo- matic mission and on their recommen- dation Jean Antoine Houiin was in- vited to come to America and under take the great work.
 Houdin was one of the foremost
