Undisputed Facts

There is no profession so
quickly learned that pays so
large a salary as Telegraphy.
There is no profession in which
the work is SO easy aud pleasant
or the hours of duty so few.
There is no profession or
trade in which employment the
year round is more certain.
What is the case with other
professions? How is it with
bookkeepers and clerks? will

cause you ty stop and think, es
pecially if you have been con
templating fitting yourself for
employment in either Of those
lines.
Thousands of bookkeepers are
out of employment, or are will
ing to work for almost nothing.
Many of them are not receiving
more than "a to S6 per week for
their labor. Read the hundreds
of daily advertisements in the
city newspapers headed "Situa-
tons Wanted" They tell their
own story of over crowded pro
fessions. What about telegra
ply in this respect? Did you
ever see an advertisement of a
telegraph operator or station
agent wanting situation? |

and that you never saw compe-
tent, sober operator out Of EN-
ployment. Had this ever occur

certain of steady employment at
remunerative salaries at all times
they will also be promoted to
better positions in accordance
with their Individual ability.
There is always ample room for
advancement in the service of
railroad corporations.

RULES ON EIeHT.HouR LAW.

Washington.-In an Interpretation OF
the new eight-hour law. Attorney Gen.
eral Wickersham has decided that the
government may enter into contracts
without restricting the hours OF labor.
for the purchase of supplies and other
articles exempted by the act, even
though the government itself has occas-
ionally manufactured these articles.
Several questions have been raised In
reference to army contracts. The new
law specifically excepts supplies pur-
chased In the open market. but provides
that all kinds Of work which have been.
are now. or may hereafter be performed
by the government shall, when done by
contract. by individuals. firms or cor
porations. for or on behalf of the United
States" ETC. shall be performed in ac-
cordance with the eighthour provisions
OF the act. This law does not go into
effect until January next. but In order
to forestall the letting of contracts prior
to January ! to firms working their en-
ployes a greater number OF hours than
eight eghthour provisions are con
tanned In the fertilization bill, and the
naval bill, which prohibit an excess of
eight, eight-hour provisions are con
and clerks in postofIices.

THE LAWRENCE INDICTMENTS.

Washington.-Now that the president
of the American Woolen company, to-
gether with other alleged confederates.
has been indicted for conspiring to dis
tribute dynamite in Lawrence during
the notable strike of the textile worker
together with the conviction of Under
taker Breen for having brought in dyn-
mite with felonious intent, there seems
destined to be told another story. A
case of suicide in connection with this
case throws another shadow on the pro-
ceedings. If any of those indicted are
found guilty, severe punishment should
be inflicted. But they should be per-
mitted to present their defense. If they
have any. and judgment not pronounced
until both sides are heard. II present
developments are sustained no doubt the
government will get into the case in
reference to interstate shipments of high
explosives.

Syracuse, N. l., Aug. "a, 1912.
Fellow Trade Unionists.
Label agitation is always in order.
The Union Label stands for peace,
purity, proficiency and protection to
American labor. Our unions are fire.
quently appealed to by representatives OF
other organizations to patronize and en-.
courage the sale of articles bearing their
label. This is right We should en-
deavor to help each other.
In Syracuse, N. Y, we have nine Gar
ment Workers Unions with 1,200 mem
bers. The clothing made by these people
is of high grade, correct in style and
quality and each garment bears the
Union Label.
1t is sold in nearly every State in the
Union, and is on sale in your city.
The Garment Workers of Syracuse
would be pleased to have you patronize
the clothing merchants who handle
clothing bearing the Union Label.
If you have not such already. we would
ask you to elect a standing Label Com
mittee whose business it would be to
visit local dealers and in every way pos
sible boost the Union Label.
Thanking you in advance for boosting
the label, we remain

PARCELS POST PREPARATION.

washington.-The officials of the post
office department are getting In readi-
ness to put into general operation the
parcels post system on January 1 next.
which is authorized In the postoffice ap-
preparation bill. The parcels post busi-
ness will not only cover in its ramifca-
tons all systems of transportation now
utilized by private express companies.
but will be extended also to more than n
million miles OF rural delivery and star
route service. Aside from the committee
comprising members of the senate and
house. the postoffice department has also
appointed number of chiefs OF depart
ments to assist the committee in work
ing out the plans. The law admits to
the mails practically all farm and gar
den rs well as factory products. provid-
ed such articles do not weigh more than
eleven pounds or exceed seventy-two
inches in combined length and girth.
The rode of packing will be carefully
prescribed. The present equipment OF
the mail service. II Is stated. is not
adapted to the carriage of such merchan-
disc. and therefore new equipment will

hostage on all parcels post be prepaid
by affixing distinctive stamps. II is also
provided by law that there shall be in
Identification for lost or damaged art
irIes. The question of adequate trans
nortation and terminal facilities for the
rarcels post on railway and steamboat
lines and the city wagon service is one
that has to be worked out in order to
insure the prompt movement of such
mail and prevent clogging. II Is be-

UNION MEN, TAKE NOTICE.
Fremont. Ohio. Aug. 5.

Fremont, Ohio, Aug. 5, 1912.
To Organized Labor and Friends.
We wish to again call your attention
to the fact that the Members of Local
No. 234. Metal Polishers and Buffers and
Platers, are still on strike at the Clauss
Shear factory.
This firm is paying the lowest wages
for polishing in this city. and when we
demanded s2.75 per 10 hours they re-
fused, and after all efforts possible to
avoid strike had failed, Local No. 234.
with the sanction of our international,
called strike on October %, 1911.
After a nine months strike we are
just as determined to win as we were
the first day, but we need your co-opera-
ton, your moral support; We do not only
need your moral support but we want it
and We are justly entitled to it.
The Clauss shears, scissors, timer
snips, tailor shears, pruning shears.
razors, razor strops, safety razors, mani
cure articles, bread knives, ETC., are on
the market throughout the United. States
and we don't think it unjust for us to ask
you not to purchase any of these goods
as long as this firm is unfair to organ
lied labor, ana we also ask you to notify
your friends.
Now please take notice, we are not
asking for financial support, but merely
for moral support. Don't just have this
communication read and received, but
appoint a committee to get busy. Re-
member our motto, An injury to one,
concerns us ALL" With your support we
can win this fight. Yours truly.

oversupply anywhere could be shifted to
meet the demands elsewhere He says
that as it Is impossible to get national
action at once state action should be be-
gun. The factors entering into what is
termed the ideal labor market of a
state" are enumerated as follows: Free
employment offices maintained by the
state; free employment offices main
tanned by local committees; private
agencies regulated by the state; corre-
spondents in various cities and indus
tries reports from all to central clear
ing house; periodical bulletins of the la
Dor market In speaking of the school
as a branch of the employment bureau,
Mr.. Commons says: "If each school
house has a director of its social center
service, he could be supplied with
blanks from the main employment Office
A workman, by going to the school near
est his house to register, could be i'm
mediately connected with the whole or
ganized labor market of the state" Then
follows discussion of bringing men
into connection with the character of
work they are qualified to perform, the
reports from the various sections of the
state being relied upon to do this SER
vice. The article concludes: How to
induce school teachers and principals to
cooperate in this great agency is a mat
ter that can be worked out when once
its Importance is understood. .
With broadening idea of the school as
social center and the employment of
principals who are wide awake and alive
to their social opportunities, the Indus
trial Commission could enlist them as a
part of comprehensive scheme for the
state"
