10000
new MEMBERS

London, Jan. Cit is an open secret
that ever since the recent seamen's
strike the Seamen's union has been
anxious to follow up the heavy blows
which it hen dealt tt the shipping
federation and the free labor organ
izers, but the work of getting in new
members has taken precedence of 9TH
er considerations. Since July last ov-
er 10000 new members have been en-
rolled, and preparations are now going
forward for a great struggle in the
shipping industry. which both sides
have been feeling inevitable. The in
ternational side of the organization is
being attended to by Havelock Wilson
and Tom Chambers, and meanwhile a
great campaign fund of $3.50, 900 is be-
ing built up. The Shipping fedora
tons ticket is at a discount, and IL is
hoped that before long non-union la
Dor may be banished from the shipping
Industry. In an official report the
union states that its income is now
$4,000 per week, and that seamen's
wages have been increased by the
strike by some $40 or $50 per annum.
A new programme of demands is be-
ing drawn up which will be presented
to the ship owners at an early date.

STwONECUTTERS
ADVANCE RAPIDLY

Washington, Jan. 6.--During the past
year the Journeymen S~tonecutters' as
ISOLATION has made most remarkable
progress. General Secretary-Treas-
urer James F. McHugh, in speaking of
to say Of the general membership:
They brought it about without the
slightest friction between themselves
and their employers. Intelligent com
mittees were appointed who discussed
the proposition with the bosses, mar
fashion. and gave and took as the case
deserved. They did not demand the
keys toSthe safe or turning over he
employers business to them, but went
about it Just like g~oodssquare union
men, making known their wants, show
ing why they deserved what they ask

There were sixty-six branches which
received an increase during the past
year. ranging from 10 cents to 81 per
day. The total increase aggregates
in additional wages paid to the men
approximately $250.0o0 a year.
In addition to this there have been
added to the association twenty-four
new branches. In nearly all of them
an increase Of wages was secured as
the result of organization. In nine
cities the Saturday half holiday has
been secured.
In fifteen cities where there have
been men outside Of the union, as 8
result Of the activity OF the general
union and the local unions all men
employed in the trade have been In
duced to make ommon cause with the
union men, thus making them solid

The dual organization which has
been contesting the supremacy OF the
Journeymen S~tonecutters' association
is In a sorry plight with a rapidly
dwindling number of adherents.

splendid ability and spirit which is
made manifest by this great advance

BOOSTING FOR
The HOME MARKET
LOCAL TRADES & LABOR ASSEM-.
BLY, HAD INTERESTING AND
ENTHUSIASTIC MEETING LAST
NleHT-MAlL ORDER EVIL WAS
DISCUSSED.

The first regular Trades & Labor
assembly meeting for 1912 was held
In Assembly halls last night and de-
spite the evere weather a large turn
out of delegates was present and much
enthusiasm shown.
The regular routine business was
hurried through to allow ample time
under the head of Good and Welfare.
The delegates certainly started off the
new year with a vim, which, if car
ried through the year, will help make
Fargo n of the best towns in the
country. The booster spirit, always
strong among union men, seems to
have taken on additional energy, and
the cry Patronize Home Concerns was
the main topic.
I'VE are sorry to learn" said one
delegate, that the habit of clubbing
together and sending east to mail or.
der houses for groceries, household
furniture, Office and store fixtures and
most everything else, has become al
most universal. If I am correctly in
formed" said the speaker, ''the habit
has grown so in this locality, that even
those occupying city, county and state
positions are doing the very thing that
they are supposed to try to head off.
II this state of affairs exists" he contin-
ued, IAN investigation should be made,
and, IL found to be true, steps should
be taken to have state, county and
city officials show enough interest in
the city to at least give the local deal
ers a chance to figure on the business
that is now turned over to the mail
order houses in the east"

Wabash Is In Line,

Springfield, Ill, Dec. 30.-The Wabash
railroad has signed an agreement rec
ognizing the system federation of all
the shopmen's crafts employed on the
road, and agreeing to transact all bust
ness with its shopmen through the sys-
tenn federation.
The contract was signed here at a
meeting between the company officials
and the committee representing the
Wabash system federation. 1t applies
chiefly to the recognition OF the sys-
tenn federation, though in a few isolat-
ed cases where wages were n~anifestIy
too low or conditions not what they
should be the company agreed 70 in
crease the wages and better the condi-
tions at once.
Henceforth any question OF wages
or working conditions must be settled
by the system federation and the COM
pany, and not by the individual crafts
and the company as heretofore. The
recognition of the federation is re-
garded as a great victory for the shop-
men.
The signing Of the agreement settles
a dispute which has lasted for months
and has again and again threatened
to end in a strike of the 1000 shopmen
employed on the Wabash lines.
The victory of the Wabash shopmen
Is regarded as being particularly sig
nificant on account of the strike on the
Hartman lines, and it lis believed the
cause of the Illinois Central strikers
has been greatly strengthened BY the
manifest unwillingness Of the Wabash
TO force It's shopmen to strike.

Well Attended, and Routine Business

STAND BY The
OLD A. F. OF |.

Washington, Jan. Frank J.
Hayes. vice president OF the United
Mine Workers of America, in a state
nnent before the convention OF the
American federation Of labor at At
lanta, positively and emphaticaIly de-
MED the rumor that the miners were
considering withdrawing from the A.
f. Of L. He stated that the miners
have always been loyal to the trade
union movement and would continue
SO in the future. In spite of this
there are n or two publications that
persist in repeating the rumor I'm
doubtedly Vice President Hayes voiced
the sentiments Of the rank and file of
the coal miners when he made his
statement; and certainly he is more
familiar with the attitude of the min
ers than any individual outside of the
organization.
