TRACTION COMPANY
Up TO OLD TRICKS
Philadelphia Rapid Transit 70
Open Company Store For
Its Employees.

PHILADELPHIA, March 13.-
"Pluck-me''. stores will be introduced
into Philadelphia if the management
of the Philadelphia Rapid Transit
| company can place in effective opera
ton plan which it is now attempting
to force upon it's employees.
A notice has been issued by the
Rapid Transit company to motormen,
conductors and other employees that
the company proposes to open stores
where the company employees can
purchase necessities at less than the
prevailing market rates.
It is claimed by representatives Of
organized labor in this city that this
is the "pluck me- store system in a.
new guise, and that the street carmen
are to be made the victims, and the
scheme may be extended to the en-
ployes of other corporations.
The trolleymen do not receive a suf-
fcient remuneration for their services
at present, and, in addition to this,
the company apparently hopes to con-
troll their purchases by compelling
their employees to purchase the ne
cessities of life from the company.
Carried to it's usual conclusion, the
employees of the traction company
will undoubtedly be compelled to pur-
chase their supplies from the COM
pany's stores in order that they may

TRADE UNIONS LOOK
INTO LIVING COSTS
La Crosse Labor Organizations
Gather Family Budgets for
Wage Increases.

LA CROSSE, Wis, March 13.-In
order to furnish a basis to determine
whether more than 20 of the 33 labor
unions in the city whose contracts ex-
pire April /, are entitled to an in
creased cost of living the trades and
labor council today sent a circular
letter to every union man in La Crosse
inquiring in detail as to the cost of
the various necessities of life, includ-
practically every item which is includ-
ed in the rearing of a family and the
maintenance Of a household. At the
same time an investigation is being in
stituted among the retailers of the city
seeking a comparison Of prevailing
prices of various commodities with
quotations a year and three years ago.
The brewery workers and the bot
tiers have already submitted their Pc
tition asking an increase in wages to
their employers and other unions are
contemplating submitting new scales
but are awaiting the result of the in
vestigation in order to determine what
amount Of increase they will be justi-
fled in asking.

F. A. PATRICK GIVES
GIRLS REST PERIOD
Duluth Firm Shows Fine Humani.
tartan Spirit; Factory Girls Are
Given Recess Twice Daily.

The F. "A. Patrick factory has VOL
UNFAIRLY granted to its employees a 16-
minute rest period every morning and
afternoon. During these periods every
window in the factory is opened, and
the rooms are thoroughly ventilated.
It is the first innovation of this kind
in Duluth. The firm is entitled to
favorable mention, and particularly in
labor paper. for the splendid spirit
1t has shown in this matter.
1--WE just started this recess last
week." said William McMullen, super
intendent Of the factory, in speaking
of the plan, "but we feel that it will
be most satisfactory. The work is
stopped and the girls can rest them
selves, doing whatever they please
during the time given and after a
little change and with absolutely
fresh air in the work rooms they feel
twice as we'll and can really more than
make up for the time lost in the
amount of work they can accomplish
with renewed vigor.
I'VE shall probably continue the
plan when we get into our new fac
tory building, where conditions will
be made as fine for the employees as
they can possibly be made'
The girls themselves are very much
pleased with the little time for rest
and change during the working hours,
the recess being given at 10 a. m.
and p. m. daily.

SOCIALISTS DECLARE:
: they're FOR Ar. Of |.
Max Holder, Secretary of City
Central Committee Makes State
ment for Publication.

The city central committee of the
Socialist party local held a meeting
at their hall on First avenue West,
Wednesday night, and passed resolu-
tions declaring that there was no
foundation in fact in the story being
circulated throughout the city that
the Socialist candidates for mayor
and commissioners were making a
fight against the American Federation
Of Labor.
The resolutions stated that while the
Socialist organization in Duluth Is
committed to the principle of indus
trial unionism, it does not counten-
ance division in the economic field
Of the working classes to bring about
this principle. .
The members Of the city central
committee are in sympathy with the
views of Victor Berger on this SUBJ
ject. They propose to work within
the ranks of the existing organiza-
tions Of labor in the American Fed
Grafton of Labor to bring about their
idea of industrial unionism.
Mr.. Max Holder, secretary of the
campaign committee for the Socialist
candidates, called at The Labor World
office this week, just as we go to press
and requested that this paper make
the position of the Socialist candi-
dates and Socialist organization Of
Duluth plain to the members of or
ganized labor.

GOOD BOOSTER FOR

Der Of the stage employees union, who
is now conducting a. cigar store at 531
West Superior street, is still true to
his early principles and is probably
the most loyal dealer in Duluth TO
home industry.
Mr.. johnson takes pride in the fact
that he carries in his stock COM
plete line Of every cigar manufactured
in Duluth. He claims he sells more
Duluth made cigars than he does
cigars made outside of Duluth.
He makes it his business to push
the sales Of homemade cigars and
his customers seem to appreciate it,
for they are beginning to call for
homemade cigars in preference to the
other kind.

CHOICE STATE LAND

State Auditor Iverson to Put
Islands Near Ely and Tower
On Sale.

State Auditor Iverson announces in
this weeks issue of The Labor World
that the state will offer for sale at
Duluth on April 16 considerable
amount of school and other state
lands in northern Minnesota.
During the summer and fall of 1912

ments. A large number of the tracts
offered are located on the beautiful
lakes near Ely and Tower, and will
make fine summer resorts.
This will prove to be the most im-
portant sale Of state lands ever. held
in northern Minnesota. Interested
parties will make no mistake in look
ing up the land and in attending the
sale on April Is, which will be held
at the courthouse.

labor STATES ITS
POSITION CLEARLY
Insists On Only Fair and Reason.
able Amendments to CON-
pensation Bill.

The executive council of the Min
nesota State Federation of Labor, at
its meeting in st. Paul on Sunday
last, spent several hours in discus
sion Of the workingmen's compensa-
ton bill now before the legislature.
The members of the executive
council were elected to represent the
State Federation of Labor between
conventions Of that body. They carry
certificates of their election and are
authorized to act for the workingmen
which they are elected. subject, how
ever, to recall and to the initiative
and referendum.
Its Position Is Fair.
At Sundays meeting the members
of the executive council unanimously
voted to reiterate the position it took
at former meeting with reference
to the question Of workingmen's COM
pensation. They recognized from
long experience in seeking legislation
that an ideal bill cannot be passed
by the legislature at the very outset.
Mistakes will be made comprom-
ises will be brought about and possi-
bly, some wrong will be done. From
close study and careful analysis the
executive council of the Minnesota
State Federation of Labor has con-
cluded that any kind of a working
mems compensation act will be pre-
ferable to the present sfstem.
However, the legislature is not do
ing its duty to labor by accepting
without the crossing Of an 'i' or the
dotting of ''t'' bill drawn by the
employers association and the en-
ployers liability companies. If the
legislature will make the following
changes in the bill now before that
body, it will receive the full support
of the officials of the Minnesota
State Federation of Labor:
Labor Wants the Following.
II. That the full burden of the
cost shall be borne by industry.
'2. That compensation shall not
be limited to Industrial accidents, but
the act shall embody all personal in
juries.
"3. That no discrimination shall
be made against alien dependents.
-. That every element Of negli-
gence and every reference to negli-
gence except when an injury is in
ficted for the purpose Of obtaining
compensation shall be eliminated.
SO. That no lump-sum settlement
of any claim, the aggregate amount
of which shall exceed $500, shall be
lawful without the consent Of the
court.
"6. That the maximum compensa-
ton Of SO a week, in section 13.
paragraph (a),. be changed to SIS a
week. -
"7. That the maximum compensa-
ton for death shall be changed from
$4,000 to $4,000, and that the period
of time for which compensation shall
be paid be extended from 800 to 333
weeks, and that the. maximum COM
pensation for total permanent disa-
bility shall be Increased to $4,000.

LA TOILETTE TELLS
SENATE OF A. F. OF |,
Explains That American Fedora
tion Of Labor Possesses the
Power to Order Strikes.

WASHINGTON, March 13.-Dur-
ing the discussion Of the post office
appropriation bill, repeating the "gag"
executive order of ex-President Roose-
welt and later strengthened an
other executive order by President
Taft, Senator La Toilette, in advocat-
ing the repeal Of the "gag'' provision,
emphasized the right of the employees
in the postal service to join organiza-
tions of their own choice. He closed
his speech with the following state
ment:
THE impression has been given
that the American Federation of La
Dor is an organization that accom-
plishes it's ends by means Of strikes,
but the American Federation Of La
Dor has no authority to declare
strikes.
1T does not assume any jurisdic-
tion over trade affairs. It is simply
congress of the different trade
unions of the United States. Each
trade union has complete trade au-
tomony.
Each trade deals with its own
trade disputes without interference by
Federation of Labor Affliation with
the American Federation Of Labor
would not in any manner tend toward
creating strikes or strike conditions.
On the contrary, when any trade or
ganization brings its grievances to the
attention Of the American Federation
Of LABOR, it only does so for counsel
and advice. And it has been the in
variable practice Of the officials Of
the American Federation of Labor to
aAivjse the trade affected to exhaust
ALL other means to adjust their dis
pk1tes before resorting to strikes.
"The American Federation Of Labor
is a great organization, having great
responsibilities, and there is nothing
which tends more toward conserva-
| tism in handling trade disputes than
responsibility. It follows, then, that
affliation with the American Fedora
| ton of Labor, instead of tending to
produce strikes, has tendency to pre-
| vent them. It is a well-known fact
to students Of the labor movement
that labor organizations have pre-
vented more strikes than they have
ever authorized.
| I'm the best organized industries in
| the United States trade disputes are
generally adjusted by mutual confer
ence. This fast does not get into the
| newspapers and does not become gen
! orally known, while the strikes, be-
ing the exception, rather than the
rule, attract attention, and from that
grows the assumption that labor or.
ganizations are institutions created
for the purpose of promoting strikes
THE assumption that because 9
trade union is affiliated with thu
American Federation of Labor i
would be compelled to engage in
sympathetic strike in order to assis
some other labor organization when
ever it was deemed advisable by tn,
American Federation Of Labor is
misapprehension Of the facts.
"The American Federation Of La
Dor has no power to authorize or or
der one trade organization to strik,
in sympathy with and for the assist
ance of another. No trade organiza
tion can be ordered on strike excep
with the consent of it's own members
and the laws of the trade unions yer
frequently require that the vote Of tn
members of the union necessary t
authorize strike must be two-third
of the entire membership"
