Trade Union Benefits Biz

The first organization to introduce
death and disability benefit institu-
tions in America was that of the loco
motive engineers, 1867. In 1875 there
were three organizations with such oe-
nefits viz. the Brotherhood of Conduct
ors, the Cigar Makers Federation and
the first mentioned. Three other or
CARNATIONS followed this example in
1888, and since that time the number
has steadily increased. Taking 40, or
CARNATIONS as a basis, reports show
that $6,707, 989 was paid in death and
disability allowance in 1910. Reports
received from various local unions
throughout the country show that they
pay in sick benefits from SO to $40
a week It is a safe estimate that at
least two and half million union mem
bers are qualities to receive sick bene-
fits through they unions. Ii the aver
age amount pad by the molders, $500
a week be accepted as a general aver
age, in the year 1910 the local unions
paid in sick benefits at least $4,000
900, giving a grand total in the year
more than S12, 100000 in sick, death,
and disability benefits paid by the
trade unions of America. Since 1910
a number of then organizations report
ing have increased their benefits. For
instance, the Amalgamated Associa-
ton of Street and Electric Railway
Employees of America, which in 1910
paid a death and disability benefit of
500, has notably increased the rate,
now paying from 800 to $500. In
1910, including the sums thus expend-
ed by, the locals, this organization paid
total of $4,000. In 1912 its pay
ments from the international treasury
alone, not considering the amount paid
by the locals, were on this account
$124, 900. Thus, for 1912, estimating
carefully, it can safely be concluded

Painters Grow


Between the two last conventions,
the Brotherhood of Painters, Paper
hangers and Decorators increased

092; during the same period the num-
Der of Canadian members rose from
1885 to 1852. The expenditure from
November 1st 1909 to July 31st, 1913

in hand amounting to $154,S44. 644

Brotherhood report that, whereas the
average wage in 1909 was $2.97, the
wage of today is $3.45 $40 of the

for admission, and unless the matter
is brought before theb ody by the
Cigar Makers. it will not be discussed
The organization movement will
however, be brought to the attention
of the various international officials
by Mr.. Corcoran. He intends to lay
before the officers the necessity of all
uons helping the local movement to
gather into the folds of unionism the
thousands who are now outside. It is
thought that the convention win be
over by the time the meeting is held
N Wheeling, and that he will be ac-
companied home by some of the Off
cials.

CORCORAN SEATED
IN A. F.. Of |. MEET

Word has been received from Harry
P. Corcoran. delegate of the West Vir-
ginia State Federation of Labor to the
convention of the American Fedora
ton Labor, at Seattle, Washington,
that he has been seated without pro
test. It was feared by some that an
EFFORT would be made to prevent his
credentials being accepted because of
his membership in the National Stogie
Makers League, which IS unaffiliated.
It is not expected that the long
drawn out battle between the Cigar
Makers and Stogie Makers vii. come
before this convention, at least, ON
cially. The Stogie Makers do not In
tend at this session, to make any fight

EYE WITNESS 0F
(Continued from Page One)

As the officer fell, the half awakened man noticed the victim of the police mans bullet, start to crawl toward a car and evidently made his way under it. The others ran toward the west and disappeared.
 It was at this point that the witness of the tragedy states he began to real ize that his presence at the point might be hard to explain and he proceeded to get out of the locality as quickly as possible He says he ran to Central avenue, then North to Jackson street and back to the front of the Star Lodging House, seating himself on bench and being there when the police arrived.
 There is a continuity of detail which tends to strengthen the belief that the man actually did witness the killing and is endeavoring to give a clear story of his recollections of the affair. He is not under arrest, but is said to be where the sheriff can put his hands on him the moment he is needed.
 The arrest of Verdugo and his lodge ment in the city jail was made in order that Chief of Police A. J. Moore might have opportunity to learn some facts as to his whereabOu the night of the murder. He is known to have been as sociating with Garcia, the alleged mur- derer of Harris, and an effort will be made to show that he was with him on Saturday night.
 Garcia was removed from the warm cell in the county jail. yesterday to room on the second floor of the court house where he can be constantly un- der guard and where he can receive the attention necessary to pull him through pr. H. K Beauchamp and Dr. c. B. Palmer visited him twice yesterday and dressed his wounded leg. There is still a question as to the possibility of say ing his leg. It was thought yesterday that some circulation was. discovered in the lower part of the leg and as the discoloration has not increased there is still hope that the limb may be saved.

He was arrested in Glendale on Sunday after having told a woman there he was making his getaway from Phoenix where he had been implicated in the stabbing of a policeman He told a different story when first brought to Phoenix but it is now understood he has entangled him self in a mesh from which it will be difficult to disengage himself
 The funeral of Harris was held yes terday morning from the family resi- dence, ell South Fourth avenue. There was large attendance of friends and relatives. Many members of the city police force were also present. A hand some floral offering from the police force stood in the room near the casket Burial was made in Greenwood ceme-

HUERTA'S COMMISSION
CALLS ELECTION VOID
Reports to Deputies That Octo-
Der Polling for President
Was Invalid.
fBy Gable 10 The Tribune. !

Mexico City. Dec. 9.-The Grand Elec-
toral Commission Of the Chamber of Dep
uties met this morning and adopted a re-
port declaring the October Presidential
election invalid, owing to the fact that
regular returns had not been received
from an absolute majority OF the polling
districts.
The report was submitted 70 the cham
Der this afternoon, and new elections were
called for next July.
The Electoral Commissions report as
signs three main reasons for the ncom-
plete polling. These are: First, that
large number of electoral districts were
in territory controlled by rebels and no
polling took place there secondly, that
other electoral districts were situated in
territory recently controlled by rebels and
voters did not feel that they had sulii-
cient guarantees I'm repairing to the polls.
and thirdly in territory fully controlled BY
the federal government voters were few,
owing TO traditional causes, such as
general indifference In such matters.
The electoral bill voted by the Chamber
concluded with the provision that General
Huerta is TO continue as constitutional al
interim President until the new elections
are held and Congress shall pass thereon.
The reading of this article was received
with loud and prolonged cheers for
Huerta and cries of Long live the MAIN
tainer Of national integrity
one deputy proposed that the article be
carried by reclamation. but the Speaker
pointed out that this was not legal. The
measure was then put TO vote and carried
unanimously and renewed cheering
General Banquet, Minister of War. said
tonight that orders might be given to
General Salvador Mercado, who retreated
from Chihuahua TO Ojinago to advance
against Juarcz.
The rebels under General Candida
Aguilar. in the vicinity OF Tuxpam, scored
a success over the Federal troops there
Yesterday by slipping around the edge Of
the town and boarding the gunboat TUX
pam while the Federal troops were not
looking. disabling its machinery and
guns and getting away with a quantity Of
dynamite.
The gunboat was stationed AT some dis
lance above the town TO observe and
menace the rebels. The latter secured a
gasolene launch, manned il with twenty
men and boarded the gunboat at a mo-
n,ent when she had been left i'm charge OF
a small crew, which they overpowered.
The surrender of Tampico has been de-
manded by the rebel generals, Lucio
Blanco and Pablo Gonzalez. according 10
advices received lere from that port. Tho
