ged to take note of the position of

ticularly through the press, SO that

The absolute government of the
country is at present in the hands of
General Potiorek, who is supported by
the liberal ministry of Bilinsky, in
Vienna. This Liberal ministry is
even more 'reactonarY and brutal
than the absolute regime which held
sway previously. In order to have a
quite free hand the last cry of pro-
test from the workers is smothered,
so that Jingoism and Absolutism and
the accompanying effects may celebrate
their wanted orgies at the cost Of the
working population, the poor, who, al

over them, have been sentenced to

From the Transport Workers. international

The concentration and development
of the organizations of the transport
and carrying trades make splendid
progress. In Germany for instance,
where since July LIST, 1910, the dock
workers, seamen, transport workers,
longshoremen, tram and railway en-
ployes have been formed into, one or
ganization, on an industrial central
lied basis this organization, The
German Transport Workers Union
increased it's membership in. the fist
three-quarters of last year by over
$4,000, and this certainly mounted to
10000 by the end Of the year. The
Amalgamated Society of Railway Ser
wants, England, made practically the
same advance. The organization of the
Spanish railwaymen has met with ex-
traordinary success. The organization
numbers 10000 members now A few
years ago this great army of the iron
road was in the deepest sleep. Then
came the pressure for combination, as
it was seen that successful fight

ployers could not be otherwise under

German Wood Industry

The Employers Organization of the
German wood industry have given no
tice to conclude all the collective
agreements which run out this year,
and all negotiations between the par.
ties have been without success, A
great fight seems unavoidable, as the
Employers Protection Association
has suggested locking out $4,000 wood
workers. An arbitration court, under
the Craftsmanship of the late State
Minister, Won Berlepsch, came to a
decision that the. agreements ending
this year should hold good till 1917,
and those ending 1914, 1915 and 1916
should continue from 1915 until 1919.
This would mean two different groups
with two forms of agreement.
Work time shall be shortened in all
places. Where the working hours are
81 and fewer they shall be reduced by
one hour; and in other cases by two
hours. In Berlin, where the work
time is only 81 hours, 10000 workers

railway servants desire also to ANAL
gamate, while the transport and dock
workers, and the seamen who have
now % loosely formed associations
will form a single organization. This
example will be followed in Argentina
and Australia; the four unions of rail
way employees decorating in Argentina,
and the dock workers, seamen, and
drivers in Australia. At the present
moment there are great movements
afoot among the railway workers of
America, and Italy, and the seamen of
England. Information is being ex-
changed between the organizations of
all countries through the medium of
the International Secretariat (Berlin)

the year numbered 81 organizations

How the War Effects Neighboring Countries

We have received from a trade IN

Assassination OF Labor Leader BY Political Opponent

particularly the tactic of the Chris

much talk about terrorism the work
ers are confronted with the questions:
Who terrorizes? What is terrorism?

By the death of Schuhmeier the

known political opponent robs him of
life in his 48th year. The whole labor
world mourns with the Austrian
workers the loss of worthy repre-
sentative of the emancipation move

ing. Eventually the employers accept
ed the workers terms, but as other
departments claimed higher wages
and appealed to the unions for sup
port about 800 compositors and ma
chinists remained on strike.
Attempts were made to place work
elsewhere, even abroad, but the solid
arity of the workers generally render
ed this effort abortive.
At last it was arranged that an
agreement ranging over the whole
Netherlands and valid. till February
LIST, 1914, should provide for So cents
for six-tenths of the compositors, 81
cents for rotary press men, and 60
cents for linotype operators per hour,
