TO sign PETITION
Superintendent of Street Railway
at Superior Uses Time Worn
Method on Timid Employees.

Over in Wisconsin there is a bill
before the legislature which, if it be-
comes law, will limit the working
hours for street railway employees to
so hours week. A strong senti-
ment prevails among the legislators
in favor of the passage of the law
and public sentiment seems to de-
mand it.
Superintendent Williams of the
Street Railway company, evidently
with instructions from officials high
re up, called the motormen and con-
ductors together one night last week
and gave to them a vague explana-
ton of the proposed, placing empha-
sis on what he regarded as bad pro-
visions in the bill for workingmen
and informing them that if the law
was passed it would interfere with
their "off days.
lie then requested each employee to
sign petition to the legislature pro-
testing against the passage of the
bill. Some of the employees mildly
objected but Williams insisted in such
manner as to inform the employees
that it was either their signatures or
their jobs.
When one of the employees was
asked by a representative of The
Labor World if the superintendent
openly threatened them to obtain
their signatures, he answered: mo,
he did not come right out, but we
knew that if we did not sign we
would be marked, and we would be
let out one by one, as they have done

much in favor OF the manufacturers.
Immediately went to work to use
his influence with the other two ar.

Of an open shop. DR.. Meserve made
an interesting address at a large
meeting of the manufacturing hat
ters Of: Newark, N. J., about the last
Of June, 1909, and in this address he
clearly showed to the manufacturing
matters how he stood in relation to
this strike. A.

Belmont hotel, New York. for three
days in June, 1909, He brought his
wife with him. On behalf Of the Ma

will close my story concerning
this effort of the N. A. of M. in set
thing this strike by saying they en-
ployed all their usual tactics of brib-
cry, intimidation and bulldozing, even
branching out in their attempt to
corrupt the ordained ministers of the
church.
According to Mulha1l, ir their ef-
forts to break the Danbury strike the
manufacturers even sought the in
fiuence of Cardinal Gibbons, Balti-
more. He failed to state whether
Gibbons rendered any assistance.
Mulhall declared that the manufact-
urers's association engaged in a re-
lentiess warfare against labor lead
ers, among them Gompers, Mitchell
and Morrison, even approaching
Gompers with an offer Of 5000
brsbe. The attempt to bribe Comp
ers failed. They also attacked all
members Of congress who seemed dis
posed to favor. labor legislation, and
defeated many Of them for reelection.
