are accedcd to. The spinners are the
only ones on strike, but this makes it
inpossibef for the mills to operate. The
controversy is over the docking of three

in and around Buffalo is improving.
The machinists, who struck some
time ago. involving large number
of men, are gradually winning i'm
proved conditions and strikers are
returning to work. 1t is almost
assured that the machinists will es-
tablish higher wages and better
working conditions for all those
who are employed in this kind of
work. The strike of the express
wagon drivers, which has been in
progress for about two months, has
been brought to a close, there
having been concessions made
10 the drivers by the Ameri-
can and United STATES Express
companies. The teamsters are still
negotiating with the team owners
for an increase in pay, and it is re-
ported that they are making prog
ress. These team owners who re-
fuse finally to grant the demands
will face a strike in the near future.
The textile workers employed by
the Buffalo Belt and weaving com
pany are on strike. The discharge
of five of the employees who were
active in organizing local union
precipitated strike. Negotiations
are ia progress, but so far the com.
pany has refused to reinstate the
discharged employees. The plant
is closed down and the strikers are
confident that they will be success.
full. The jewelry workers are about
to organize a local union, and are
to have an open meeting of their
craft in the near future for tha'

Compensation Act Is To Go
To The People,
Who Are To Approve Or Reject
il Next Fall.

Columbus, Ohio June l3.-All doubt
as to whether the Ohio Equity Associa-
ton was in earnest when it promised
Governor Cox a chance to use the initia-
tive and referendum which he earnestly
advocated year ago was removed doday.
Through the associations Secretary,
Charles H. Gongwer, of Cleveland, peti-
tions for two bills were filed with Secre-
tary Charles H. Graves,
One contained II 824 names from 63
counties for referendum on the Green
compulsory workmen's compensation act
and the other contained 81, 900 names
from 81 counties initiating new measure
which the association describes as
clearer and fairer" than the Green meas
ure. In both instances there are thous-
ands more names than required by the
initiative and referendum amendment to
the state constitution.
The statement on the compensation
given out follows.
The Ohio Equity Association has filed
petitions bearing the signatures of 115,
600 electors ordering referendum on the
so called Green law, and proposing sub
stitute law which actually will provide
compulsory compensation for injured
workmen without placing an unjust bur
den upon the taxpayers.
Nearly $4,000 electors have ordered a
vote on the Green bill and more than
81 900 have petitioned for the substitute,
making a total of 1000 signatures to
these petitions

Mothers Pensions.

Washington, June l3.-ln one
form or another, laws creating pen
sions for mothers have been enacted
in thirteen different States since
1911. These laws while similar
in many respects, arrive at the re-
suit sought to be achieved by differ
ent methods. The states which
credited with these laws are Illinois
California, Colorado, Washington,
Utah, South Dakota, Idaho, Min
nesota, Iowa, Nebraska, Ohio,
New Jersey, and Pennsylvania.
In addition Missouri has authorized
Kansas City to adopt a sytem simi-
lar to the laws in the States men
toned. Wisconsin, without any
definite legal enactment, has been
meeting the needs of the mothers
in a limited way, and in three either
States city ordinances or the powers
bestowed upon State boards have
established the principle of widows
pensions. Similar laws are now
under consideration by seven other
States.

Little Rock, Ark, June 13.-Proprie-
tors of all the laundries in this city and
Argenta, six in number, have agreed to
grant all women employees minimum
wage of $6 week, instead of present
scale of $4. They also agree to nine
hour working day. Further, hours are to
be gradually reduced until an eight hour
day is established, and the working con
