ANOTHER BIG: STRIKE
LIKELY IN ENGLAND
Much Dissatisfaction Is Evident
Among Railway Men and
Transport Workers.

LONDON, April 25.-The question
of minimum wage which has been
brought so strongly to the fore in the
miners strike, and which has been
such a costly matter for many trade
unionists is likely to crop up again
in other trades.
Railway men may demand a mini
mum rate; postoffice officials may
probably follow suit, while the sea-
men are much inclined to take SINH
lar action.
Whether or not there will be a
concerted plan or general strike in
May is at present doubtful, but
should it take place, there is very
little doubt but that the Transport
Workers Federation would be in
volved.
Shop assistants are also demand
ing a minimum wage. All classes,
however, are demanding larger
share Of the profits which accrue
from their labor.

LABOR GETS ACTION
ON INJUNCTION BILL
Limitations on Courts Orders to
Be Made if Bartlett Bill
Becomes Law.

WASHINGTON, April 25.-During
the entire session of the present con-
gress efforts have been made to have
reported favorably, from the judici-
ary committees, Of both houses, Ia
boris Injunction, limitation bill, but
without success.
Recently, however, Senator Bacon
Of Georgia introduced in the senate
an injunction limitation bill and
Congressman Bartlett of Georgia in
troduced a similar bill in the house.
These bills instead of being referred
to the judiciary committees -of both
houses, as has been the custom,
were referred to- the committee on
education and labor of the senate
and the labor committee of the
house.
At a meeting held by the house
labor committee on Wednesday, it
was unanimously decided to facor-
ably report the bill, and Chairman
Wilson Of the labor committee, the
leader of the labor group in the
house, reported the bill to the house
yesterday, and it was placed upon
the calendar.
This bill contains the provisions
which labor has been fighting for
many years, and signalizes the in
fluence and yower which the ~Ameri-
can Federation of Labor is welding
among the national legislators

COOKS AND WATERS
SEEK 100000 mark
Strong Effort Being Made by In

New Members.

CINCINNATI, o., April 25.-Jere
Sullivan, secretary of the Hotel and
Restaurant Employees and Bartend-
ers League says the organization is
prosecuting vigorous campaign to
increase the membership to 100000,
the outlook at the present time ap-
pearing exceedingly promising.
Eight new unions were added in
the month of January, three in the
month of February and seven in the
month of March.
Organization among the cooks of
Chicago is showing exceptional re-
turns. The various cooks associa-
tions, which heretofore have been
purely social and benevolent organ
izations, are awakening to the fact
that the interests of those employed
in the same occupation are Identical
and are now looking toward the in
ternational union for relief

MERCHANTS / 4 \ WARNED
BY TRADES ASSEMBLY
Alleged Union Labor Directory Is
Private saterprise Unions
s4:s@~.'.% Not Interested.

In spite Of the efforts Of the Com
mercial club to protect the merchants
of Duluth from being worked into
patronizing fake advertising schemes,
now and again questionable pro-
position gets through without being
detected.
At the meeting of the executive
council of the Trades and Labor as
sembly held last Thursday evening a
report was made that certain persons
were securing advertisements from
local merchants to be inserted in an
alleged union labor directory
The enterprising solicitor for this
publication. it was stated in the COM
mittee meeting, represented to the
merchants that he was publishing the
''official' union labor directory for
the cities of Duluth and Superior.
Assembly Protects Merchants.
To prevent the trades assembly
from being misrepresented to the
merchants, President Marandaw was
instructed by the executive committee
to insert an advertisement in the
daily papers advising local merchants
that no persons were authorized to
publish directory" for the Duluth
unions.
This advertisement rather reached
the solar plexis Of the enterprislng
publishers of the union labor direc-
tory They retorted by inserting
an advertisement. in the Duluth News
the Twin Ports labor union direc-
tory is published for the benefit of
every union labor man in the Twin
Potts, and is also used by every
business man in Duluth and Superior
who employs union men,
The publishers charged that the
Trades assembly was Influenced in it's
course by the editor Of the Labor
World. We do not know how they
arrived at this impression. The only
interest we have taken in the matter
was to call the attention of the pub
ishers-not behind their backs but to-
their faces-that when their solicitor
represented to the merchants that
they were publishing an *:offlciar'
union directory they were guilty Of
obtaining money under false pre-
lenses. which under the law of Min
HeSOta IS a criminal OITenSe.
Truth About Fake Directory.
However, they have made their at
tack upon The Labor World, and
without justification, and we propose
to inform the merchants of Duluth
just what they are spending their
money for when they insert an ad-
vertisement in the so-called Twin
Ports labor union directory
The publishers declare that the di-
rectory is published for the benefit of
EVERY union labor man" in the
Twin Ports.' Will they kindly state
just, how many copies they printed
last year, and also tell how they
were distributed? Will they kindly
state whether or not the unions OF
Duluth and Superior were supplied
with copies of their directory last
year? If so, how many? Will they
kindly inform their advertisers how
many copies Of last years publica-
ton are still in the office in which
they were printed ...s g3s 5Ssss III

directory insinuate IN their adver-

WASHOUT CAUSE OF
RAILROAD WRECK
Crack Train ON Milwaukee Line
Goes Into Ditch.

Winona, Mimi, May 21.-The first
section of train No. / on the Chicago,
Milwaukee and st. Paul railroad,
known as the Pioneer limited, was de-
rallied near Homer, eight miles east
of here.
Two sleepers, baggage and buffet
car went into the ditch and were par
TALLY submerged in the Mississippi
river. The track runs parallel to the
river at this point.
The wreck was caused by heavy
rains which washed out the roadbed
and let the train slide from the track
One passenger, William West. a
travelling salesman, was caught in the
washroom when the train went over
and had to break his way out of the
window to keep from drowning. He
was brought to the hospital here, but
his injuries consist only of lacerated
hands and limbs.
The second section of the train c. me
around the wreck on the double track
and brought the passengers and what
remained on the track of the first sec
ton to this city.
That there was no loss of life is due
to the fact that the train had had
warnings to watch for washouts and
was running slowly at the time of the
accident
