ATTEMPTED TO CRUSH UNIONS.

Washington.-The manner in which
the coal operators and the state of Penn
sylvania co-operated during the coal
strike in Westmoreland county to crush
out labor unions and to defeat the pur-
pose of the strike is shown in an exhaus-
tive report of an investigation into con-
ditions there made by the Department OF
Commerce and Labor. and recently trans
mitted to Congress in response to reso-
luton introduced by Congressman Gregg
of Pennsylvania. Much of the matter in
cluded in the report was made public at
the time of the strike 1t Is likely now
that the reports will be published and
given wide publicity for the purpose OF
showing the extreme methods resorted
to in the effort made by the coal opera
tors to crush out the miners union.

so THE DELEGATES MAY KNOW.

For the benefit of new delegates COM
ing to the League and for those who
are unfamiliar with the laws of this
body we quote from the bylaws of Union
Label League that part in reference to
the eligibility of delegates to a seat in
the League:
Sec. 20. No credentials shall be re-
ceived by the League unless delegates
have at least four quality labels on their
person.
Sec. 21. Lady delegates are exempt
from the above hw, but must purchase
label goods where possible"
1t is claimed by some that this law
works a hardship on new delegates in
that they are at a disadvantage in not
knowing what the requirements of the
League are in order to entitle them to
seat The trainers of this law be-
lieved that inasmuch as the League was
formed for the sole purpose of agitating
greater demand for the label among
union men and women that it was the
duty of the delegates who composed the
League to be consistent in their agita-
tion and see that they themselves de-
manded the label. When a delegate
is refused a seat on account of not hav-
ing the required number of labels on
his person and his local is notified of
the reason for his credentials not being
accepted 1t not only serves as an object
lesson but tends to bring out discus
sion of the label In the union meetings.
Some time ago the League sent cir
cular letter to all local unions calling
their attention to the above law and
requesting them to so instruct their
delegates

the label is not the property of any one
individual, but the property of the inter-
national union. On the other hand, its
reason for not desiring incorporation is
as follows:
If the union Were Incorporated, the
entire organization could be held respon-
sible for each and every act of every
single member. 1t is easy to see how,
if local union had from 100 to 400 or
a thousand members, some hot-headed or
unwise member might do something that
would involve the local into litigation
and have its funds tied up constantly.
Again, what could prevent any un.
friendly manufacturer from entering
suit for real or imaginary grievance
at any time and put the union to the ex-
pense of hundreds of dollars for legal
fees, when said companies pay their So
licitors by the year and would incur no
extra expenditure?
The legislators, or those that oppose
the registration of union labels, simply
condone and make 1t more easy for imi-
tation and fraud. which is being prac-
ticed continually.
A case in point. the current issue of
the Cigarmakers' Journal shows how the
law operates and how the label is pro-
tected:
James Roe, cheap non-union cigar
manufacturer, 500 Congress street, East,
was found guilty of violating the Michi-
gan union label law Factory No. TAI,
first district of Michigan. Judge Stein
fined James Roe $50 or thirty days.
"The charge against James Roe was
that he soaked union labels of empty
cigar boxes. cut the Cigarmakers' union
label in two parts and pasted that part
of the union label with series number
on his non-union cigars"

UNION LABEL REGISTRATION.

Another effort will be made by organ

In the United States such registration
is relegated to the several states, ana
each international has its union label
registered against infringement by imi-
tation, destruction, counterfeit, etc., but
in Canada such protection has been here
tofore denied to trade unions on the
ground that the union label was not the

MARITIME STRIKE.

New York.-A strike of maritime or
ganizations directed against coastwise
lines is in progress at the ports of New
York. Boston, Philadelphia, Norfolk and
Galveston and other ports. 1t is reported
that number of shipping companies
have acceded to the demands made and
signed agreements. Higher wages and
better conditions are demanded by the
sailors, firemen and oilers.

1t is now possible to purchase every
article of wearing apparel for men with
the union label on and there is no good
union man from the top of his head to
the soles of his feet. With the ever
increasing demand for the label a better
quality of goods Is being put upon the
market.
Every union man and woman in the
city should lend the Bakers union all
assistance possible in their campaign
for better conditions in their trade. In.
sist that union-made bread be on the
table at home and If you are not fortu-
nate in having a home to eat at insist
that the restaurant at which You eat
serves you with union-made bread.
There are some unscrupulous mer-
chants who keep a few cheap collars and
shirts and whenever the label is de-
manded they drag these shOp-worn arti-
cles out from under the counter or from
the cellar and show them. When COM
plant is made of the quality of the
goods these merchants take advantage
of the opportunity to ridicule the union
made goods and also the agitation for
the label. Demand not only the union
label but also the quality with it. Both
of these can be secured and just as soon
as the merchants see that the demand
is sufficient to warrant them in ham
ding nnion-niade Goods they will do SO
and will endeavor to get the best to be
had.
A campaign is being started by the
Woman,s Trade Union League in behalf
of the women workers of the city. Their
first efforts will be directed to bettering
the conditions of the laundry workers
and more thoroughly organizing this in
dustry. See that your union is among
the list of contributors to this worthy
movement and also see that the mem
bers send their laundry TO union
laundry.
1t is now possible for the women to Sc
cure union-made shoes in the city in all
styles and sizes and at any price to suit
your pocketbook. There is no excuse
for the union women and union mems
wives not wearing union-made shoes.
A great many shoes are made In prisons
and the only way to distinguish between
shoes and the product Of
free labor is to demand the union label.

FUTURE OF THE cHINAMAN.

Prof. Ross, in his work OH THE
Changing Chinese" point out three
possible lines In which yellow peril
ma. follow in the wake of an awak
cned China. First. says Prof. Ross
there is the possible swapping of the
slow multiplying, high wage white So
tieties with the overflow thai is bound
to come when China has applied west
erm knowledge to the, saving of hui
man life. This. he believes, to be real
and imminent. The Chinese is physi-
cally strong and tenacious of life but
mortality among infants in China is
astounding
A second peril Is the possible over
matching of the white races by colos-
sal armies of well drilled yellow men
who. under the inspiring leadership of
some oriental Bonaparte. will first ex-
pei the powers from eastern Asia and
later on overrun Europe.
This last naked peril is certainly re-
mote and fanciful. for the Chinese are
not warlike people and their attempt
at war is sort of imitation. The
military spirit isn't there. The people
OF China are neither combative. nor
do they possess the aggressive energy
essential TO wide military success.
Travellers tell us that Chinese boys
quarrel I'm a girlish way. and fight
mostly with their jaws. They make a
great many motions. but seldom land a
blow. One writer declares that tight
ing coolies impress one more with the
"objurgatory richness OF their lam
guage than with the lighting prowess
OF the race"
The third possible line Of peril Is the
industrial triumph Of the orient. A

AS the British exports of coal, aside
from that recorded as supplied to YES

1910 TO over g. million long tons, the
above quoted estimate would seem to
Justify adding To the 30 million tons
recorded as bunker coal by the United
Kingdom and the United States an.
other 30 million as the share of British
exports which finally becomes bunker
coal through purchase for bunkering
purposes at ports or stations to which
II was originally exported. While the
bureau of Statistics is unable to state
the share of American coal exports
from that actually reported as bunker
coal and not included in the export
statemenD 1t is quite probable that
Il considerable percentage of the coal
from the United States which passes
to the West Indian Islands and the

ing. Add to this the more than 2 mill
lion tons supplied by the Japanese
mines TO. vessels engaged in the for

plus the estimated consumption Of
about million tons by the navies Of

estimate of an average Of IS million
tons consumed on the oceans of the

the valuation of the coal exported for

value of the coal used on the oceans

per annum-seems also conservative
one.
