A Spy In Camp.

Birmingham, Ala, July 18-The
Labor Advocate states that a man
giving his name as Frank c. Mueller
claiming to be an organizer of the
Amalgamated Association of Street
and Electric Railway employees,
wormed himself into the confidence
of several union men and organ
izers and then used the information
to secure the discharge of number
of the employees on the traction sys-
TEN. At the time this pretended
organizer appeared efforts were be-
ing made to organize the street car
men, and conferences were quietly
going one with number of the en-
ployes. Fineally Mueller strongly
advised that the attempt to organ
lie the men be abandoned. This
created suspicion and when several
men were discharged the scheme
became apparent. An organization
was formed, however, but was fell
lowed by a lockout. Evidently
Miller is engaged in a similar ca
pacity in other sections of the
country, presumably under differ
ent aliases. He is described as a
German. 1t is further recounted

Mill Men uex Increase.

Granite City, ILL.,, July Is. The
men working as heaters in the tin
mills and as matchers in the sheet
mills, secured an increase in wages
amounting to 5 per cent for the
scale year, beginning July /. All
other workers in the hot mill de-
partment received the same rate of
wages as last year. While the
wage scales have been agreed to by
the national Enameling and Stamp
ing Company this firm has not
signed the contract and is holding
back TO await settlement with other
so-called independent companies in
the East, but it is deemed certain
that no wage controversy will take
place here.

Must Obey Law.

Denver July 18.-A construction
company engaged In sewer work
in this city has been violating the
eight hour law and the minimum
wage scale. The city attorney has
held that no contractor will be per-
mitted to violate the ordinance
which requires that no contractor
doing work for the city shall work
his employees longer than eight
hours per day, and pay the mini
mum wage of $3.50. The city at
torney further AYERS that no con-
tractor will be permitted to violate
these terms, whether they are spe-
cifcally written in the contract or
not.

General Strike Off.

Springfield, ILL.,, July Is. The
general strike of the building trades
has been declared off and all of the
union workmen whose employers
desire to continue under the 1913
contract have returned to work.
The fight will continue against the
open shop, and members of the TN
ions affiliated with the Building
Trades Council will not work on
buildings under construction save
where union shop conditions pre-
vail. The contest will be contin-
ued vigorously in the future as 1t
has been in the past.

serted that the employers are will
lug TO grant the increase, but hesi-
tate at entering In an agreement
with the union. An interesting
feature of the strike Is that the
company brought in Italians as
strike breakers, but upon the strike
breakers being informed as to the
capacity in which they were being
used, all quit leaving the company
without any workmen. The Hod
Carriers and Building Laborers
have also organized local union,
and will seek an increase In wages
in the near future.

introduced a bill which provides
compensation for all injuries re-

The Third Hand.

How often the little things in life
make impressions that linger in our
memories long after the larger events
are forgotten, Several years ago was
making a visit In family where there
were several daughters. One of the
girls brought hat into the sewing
room one morning and prepared to
trim It, Before doing anything else
she took hatpin and pinned the hat
firmly to her skirts at the knees, SO
that she had both hands free and held
the ribbon and flowers In place with
her left hand while she sewed them
with her right Philadelphia North
American.

XII Machinists Get Short Day.

Toledo, July 18.-The Toledo
Machine and Tool Company has re-
adjusted its working hours. Nine
hours will be the rule FIVE days a
week, with Saturday half holiday.
Time and half will be paid for all
work over the fifty hour week. A
strike at this plant was iminent.

adjustment was secured. The ma
chinists are much pleased over their
successful efforts in reducing the
working day one hour per day
without a strike.

Gain Half Holiday

Portland Greg, July 18.-The
Metal Workers of this city have
secured the half holiday after a
long and patient effort. Hereafter
the shops will close at noon Satur-
day, giving the men full half
holiday before Sunday. A num-
Der of employers were willing to
grant the concessions so me time ago
but 1t required all to make the
movement successful. This advan-
tage cannot but be appreciated, as
it means long s1epi in the direction
of the shorter working week.

Governor Seeks Highsr-Ops
In Petition Fraud.

Lorain, Ohio July 18.-Governor
James M. Cox, speaking at the
Perry Centennial celebration here
Tuesday, attacked the interests in
which he said we've behind the move
for a referendum on the Green
workmen's compensation law.
The purpose of the State, he de-
clared, it to secure the arrest of the
"higher-ups" in the wholesale for
gerry of names to referendum petit
tions, and asserted that interests
behind the legislative bribery
scandels In Columbus two years ago
are concerned in the fraud now
being uncovered.
"There never was an Infamous
plot hatched that some poor devils
were net hired to carry it out" he
said. ave are more interested in
getting the crowd that did the hir
ing than the unfortunates now un-
der arrest.
The truth is that for many years
Legislative scandels have left their
trails in Cleveland. The Attorney
General was convinced that certain
interests in Cleveland were involved
in the legislative bribery two years
ago. In the referendum frauds
now we have scarcely begun inves-
stigating, but the same old names
are given the Attorney General,
"The present plot to make a
travestry of the referendum was
Matched in Cleveland and its initial
perpet1ation was given over to
members of the old Cox organiza-
tion in Cincinnati.
"It is higely important that fraad
ana perjury De prosecuted, Dul we
are impressed with the necessity of
revealing to the people Of this State
the interests that for years have
been disgracing the commonwealth.
I'VE have never feared the result
of referendum on the Green work
mems compensation law. Any
man knowing the temper of the
people admits that. However, the
referendum shall not be fraudently
invoked. This referendum shall
not be thrown out on any technical
grounds, you can depend upon
that.

Some thirty odd years ago a young
man came to New York from England
q have forgotten his name), and for a
year or so he posed as very ardent
churchman. He had q mania which
seemed to be the making of trouble
for other people, with no particular
object except that and certainly with
no advantage to himself, as he very
naturally remained ''incog."
AS illustrative, he would send out a
hundred or more postal cards address
ed to as many different plumbers in
New York. asking them to call on a
certain day, at given hour. at the
residence of the Rev. DR.. Morgan Dix.
rector Of Trinity church. Another
time 1t would be an army Of bakers,
and SO on. On one OCCASION he sent in
vitations to a dozen of the clergy to
dine with DR.. Dix on given date.
Imagine the good doctors consterna-
ton when his unexpected guests ar.
rived!
One of his bits of "funny'' work, In
which he used the name of the late
Bishop Jaggar. was as follows: DIR.
Cornelius y. Swope was the vicar of
Trinity chapel, in Twenty fifth street,
at the time, and Dr.. Horatio Potter the
bishop Of New York. Dr. Dix had be
come SO exasperated as hardly to
know what to do, and one day he went
to consult DR.. Swope and to ask his
advice as to what could be done, TAX

had received. On looking at 1t DR..

The Canning Industry.

Washington, July 18.-Canner-
les have the distinction of employ
ing larger proportion of children
than any other kind of manufacture
except the three textile industries,
cotton, hosiery, and silk. Accord
ing to the recent Census Bulletin
on Canning and Preserving these
cannery children numbered in 1909
more than II 600, but the national
child labor committee questions
whether this is not too low an es-
innate. The Census Bulletin re-
ports 175 cannery children for New
York State, but the New York
State factory investigation commits
sion last summer found ! ,259 child
rem actually at work in the Gamer
les of the state. The national
child labor committee says further
that there is no other manufactur-
ing industry employing so many
children under fourteen years, be
cause of the common exemption of
canneries from the child labor laws.
it is significant that New York,
second only to California in the
value of its carnery products, has
now forbidden the employment in
canneries of children under four
teen.

that he hoped the time would come

Christmas eve. Friday Mayor Millar6

thought Of such a plan. He found that
their opinions differed so much that the
likelihood of such an innovation being
put into effect was very remote.
Some, the mayor said. expressed .
willingness to close their stores IL all
the others would do the same. others
were no.. Some argued that the best
two hours of Christmas shopping were

pointed out that some Of their trade

Many a car has been wrecked and
many a life lost by motor cars be-
coming stalled IN street and steam car
crossings and even on city thorough
fares. Often these accidents could
have been avoided had it been possible
to start the motor again without loss
Of time. This danger has been elimin-
ated for the owners Of Regal cars by
the installing OF the Rushmore Elec-
trio Starter.
The starting motor used on all Regal
cars is powerful enough to not only
urn over the engine but to propel the
car and its occupants while SO doing.
All that is necessary to move the
car by the starting device is to mesh
the low speed gear engage the clutch
and throw over the starting switch.
Instantly the starter IL operating the
engine and moving the car forward.

Think what this means in cases Of
emergency. How many drivers nave
not KILLED" their motor at some time
or other and found themselves in an
embarrassing predcament On some
busy street. While stalling ones motor
is generally not accompanied by any
particular danger 1t IS a much graver
matter to have it while crossing
a street car or railroad track.
There are many other instances
where this feature Of Regal cars ID
