BILL AGAINST sLAckLIsTINe.

Washington-A bill to protect railway
employees in their Organizations from in
justice at the hands of their employers
through blacklisting or threats OF dis
missal has been Introduced in the lower
house by Congressman Stevens of Min
nesota. The bill is proposed as an
amendment to the interstate commerce
act, and provides that any employer who
shall require any employe to enter into
an agreement, either written or verbal,
not to become or remain a member of
any labor organization or because he will
not withdraw from any such organiza-
ton or shall discharge any employe for
Noncompliance with employers wishes.
shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and
shall pay penalty of not less than 500
nor more than $1,000 for each offense.
The measure also forbids employers en-
deavoring to force employees to contrib
ute to any fund for charitable or other
purposes, and also from conspiring to
prevent former employees securing other
employment after they have been dis
charged.

RAILWAY WORKERS WAGES.

London-A board of trade report just
issued contained Statistics relative to
wages on railways. It appears from the
report that on railways. other than cleo
trio, employees are usually six-day work
ers, Sunday duty being paid for as over
time or equivalent time given off during
the week in lieu of payment. The num-
Der of male time workers paid wages in
the last pay week Of October. 1907, in
cluded in the returns, is 401, ,437. and
the average rate OF wages as follows:
Adult workmen, average wages, 24s 4d:
lads and boys. lis Sd. On electric rail-
ways the rate of pay appears to have
been slightly better than ordinary rail-
ways, the earnings being for motormen,
3ss 10d: mechanics, 36s Sd: signal men,
31s lid: platelayers. 2ss 10d; conduc-
tors, 24s I'd.

RAILWAY MEDIAToRs.

London-The success of Sir George
Askwith as a mediator and conciliator
in labor controversies has inspired the
London and Northwestern Railway COM
pany to appoint an official whose duties
will be analogous, but of course, con-
fined exclusively to the affairs of the
company. The duties deyolving up this
off cial will be to receive and attempt to
remedy all grievances before they be-
come aggravated. The company now as
sumes to meet the complaints of the
men that minor officials have been in
the habit of aggravating instead of rem
edying. Other departments of the rail-
way welcome this innovation, for the
new position created will carry with it
considerable authority to order changes
wherever necessary, and thus relieve
the other departments of dealing with
these matters. The men employed by
the railway are also pleased with this
change, as they welcome any opportu-
nifty which promises fair and reason
able consideration of their grievances
without interference from petty official
dom. The new method will also guar
antee to the men a more speedy consid-
Grafton than was possible under former
methods. 1t is also announced that other
railroad companies under former meth
ods 1t is also announced that other rail-
road companies are considering the es-
tablishments of a similar department.

SHIRT COMPANY ousTEo.

Washington-At a meeting of the Bal
timore CMd) jail board recently, action
was taken ousting the Hawkins Shirt
company, which now operates contract
for the labor of the inmates of the city
Jail. 1t is reported that this company is
owned practically by Fred H. Mills,
treasurer of the American Prison asso-
citation, director of the International
Prison Congress last year, and chair
man of the committee appointed by the
first named organization, to report on
the convict labor question. He is now,
and has been since the installation of

sales-agent of the prison department. As
such, he directs what goods are to be
manufactured and how they are to be
disposed of to the different state institu-
tions and departments. Criticism has
been offered on the state use system"
that it did not supply work for all the
inmates 1t is charged that Mills is re-
sponsible for this condition OF affairs
Under this system no state department
is allowed to buy any article in the open
market without getting permission from

a certificate, which certificates that the
articles needed. 1t is asserted that the

NO CHARTER FOR HELPERS.

Machinists' helpers of the country
are meeting at the Markham hotel in an
effort to start a national organization.
Twelve delegates are present in response
to a call issued by ]. L. Donnelly, presi-
dent of the machinists' helpers of Salt
Lake City. They believe that they can
obtain greater benefits by their own or
ganization than by continuing their affil-
iation with i-e International Association
IF Machinists.
Walter Ames. vice president of the In
ternational Association of Machinists,
who is in Denver: Charles Nickerson,
member of the executive board. and w.
f. Evans secretary of the Denver
machinists local, appeared before the
delegates upon invitation and explained
the attitude of the international associa-
ton toward the helpers.
They told them that in their opinion
their interests would be best taken care
of by remaining in the machinists organ
ization: that the international at its con-
vention at Davenport had agreed to grant
the helpers charters with the same laws
governing them as the machinists. with
but one or two exceptions. and with n
smaller per capita tax. The explanation
may result In the failure of the helpers
to form the national organization as they
had contemplated.

ticn.
