MILWAUKEE, WIS, Oct 15.-John
Schrank. who tried to kill Colonel
Roosevelt, today pleaded guilty to a
charge of assault with intent to kill.
Il am guilty as charged. That is all l

Judge n. B. Neleen, in police court,
asked him to plead.
The plea in police court amounted to
plea on arraignment. The court is
without power to sentence to the peni-
Tertiary. Accordingly plans were made
to transfer Schrank hastily to a guard
ed chamber in the municipal court,
where he will be asked to enter his plea
again. If he does so, he will be given
the maximum sentence of fifteen years
Imprisonment. 1t is expected that he

GREAT AmALeAMATIon SCHEME.
The shIpbuiIding and Engineering Trades
In England Getting Together
Consolidation viii Total
over 100000.

Washington.-One of the most gigantic
amalgamations in the trade union move
ment is now under consideration. the
incentive being determined effort to
secure the establishment of an eight-hour
day in the shipbulding trade of Great
Britain.
Attempts are now being made to ANAL
gamate the Iron and Steel Shipbuildersi
Society with the Ship Constructive and
Ship wrlghts' Association. when this
is accomplished. these two societies Will
endeavor to amalgamate with the Anal
gamated Society OF Engineers, the So
ciety OF Steam Engine Makers, and the
Society OF Boilermakers, thus five OF the
largest and strongest trade unions will
be merged into one consolidated whole.
The extent and power of this ANAL
gamation Will be realized when It Is re-
membered that the Amalgamated So
ciety of Engineers alone numbers over
100000 members, and with the addition
of the other organizations, over 100000
experienced trade unionists will be work
ing together for the great objective point
an eight-hour day. The amount OF ton
mage under construction in the British
shipyards aggregates 1,686.000 tons.
Three Of these vessels are to be OF 10000
tons and over. 1t will. therefore. be seen
that with these large orders on hand the
shipbuilding companies will be more
than likely to grant the eIght-hour de.
mand OF the men without a protracted
struggle.

AvIAToRs' LOW WAGES.

1t is said that in Germany there are
SO many flying machines tnat the men
who operate them have an organization
OF their own called the League OF Ger
man Aviators. This league has been
the means through which the aviators
have made a concerted demand for a
higher rate OF pay. The sum demanded
is modest, considering the risks in
volved in operating airships. The de
mand Is for only 800 MARKS per month,
which is less than $75. This is the limit
fixed for taking long chances with death
in the ordinary course of their occupa-
ton. Some OF the aviators have been
paid as little as $50 marks per month,

state a job of reforming them later on.
After that she hurries home to make
herself a new dress and snatch hasty
supper before going back to attend a
lecture by an imported specialist on the
history of tribal law in Patagonia, which
the superintendent thinks may give her
some information which may be useful in
her school work some day. A great many
lecturers roam the country preying on
school teachers and some of them are
very cruel, talking to them SO long that
the poor things have to sit up till morn
ing, when they get home, to get their
daily test papers corrected.
School teachers salaries range from
$40 a month up-but not far enough to
make them dizzy On her salary the
teacher must dress nicely, buy herself
things for her work which the city is
too poor to get, go to twenty-nine lee
lures and concerts a year, buy helpful
books on pedagogy, pay her way to dis
trict, county and state institutes, and
enjoy herself during a three months va
cation which her salary takes every year
In addition the teacher is supposed tc
hoard away vast sums of money, so tha'
when she becomes too nervous and criss
to teach, at the age of fifty or there
abouts, she can retire and live happily
ever after on her income.
We would suggest to the school teach
ers that they devote small portion ol
their time to a study of the methods EN-
ployed by organized labor to combat
those evils and then get together and
organize.

MINERS GET INCREASE.

Indianapolis. Ind.-The coal mine own
ers and representatives OF the United
Mine Workers OF America reached an
agreement on August 3. after n ten-day
conference at Cheyenne. Wyo., in which
the interest Of 10000 miners in wyoming
coal fields was involved and a strike
averted. The new agreement will run
until September /, 1914. II provides for
n substantial wage increase and very
material improvement in the working
conditions OF the coal mines OF that field.
The United Mine Workers organization
Is in god shape. Small local strikes are
in progress In Colorado. Kentucky. Mis-
souri, and Tennessee. A much more Sc
we're one is undergoing a crucial test in
West Virginia. Prospects for settle
ment in the near future for the smaller
strikes appear to be good. The mine
workers and operators are in conference
negotiating new wage contracts in Mon

EIGHT HOURS FOR DREDeEmEN.

The eight-hour bill for dredgemen
which the American Federation OF La
bor has urged for several years. was
passed by the house Of representatives
without a dissenting vote on July 81.
This bill is expected to overcome the
ruling of the supreme court when 1t de-
cided that such persons as dredgemen
did not come within the scope OF the
eight-hour act of 1892. During the prog
ress Of the bill through the house Miss
Agnes II. Wilson, secretary to the house
committee on labor. assisted her father,
Mr.. william B. Wilson. chairman OF the
committee, and while the bill was under
consideration she sat next to the repre-
sentative who frequently advised with
her as the debate progressed. Miss VIII
son, like her father. is an active trade
unionist and Is member OF the otehos-
ranhers' and Bookkeepers' union OF
Washington, d. c. This is the first time
a woman has sat in the house while 1t

HISTORY AND USE OF THE UNION
LABEL.

The general public and the average
union man consider that Trades Union
has but one method of fighting, namely,
a strike. This is probably the general
opinion because strikes are spectacular
and are brought forceibly to the atten'
ton of not only those directly concerned
but the general public as we'll
The average union man is apt TO lose
sight of another method of conducting a
fight. or rather another weapon whlcn
can be and is used in increasing the pow
er for good of the trades union move
ment; that is, the union label
One of the earliest weapons useo by
the trades union was the boycott. BOY
colt as commonly understood and useo
consists of refusing to purchase from
or if carried to it's logical conclusion, to
sell to or to have any business or soclai
relations with the boycotted individual
This method is sometimes very enective
hut it has met considerable opposition
such as legal restraints, criminal prose
cutions. and is very obnoxious to the un
thinking general public, and it is doubt
full if the boycott does not do more harm
TO the boycotter than to the boycotted
and is becoming to be used less as tht
members of the movement reallze tha'
