COncuTreS in Bakery Work
erS Resolution.

Delegates Joseph Schmidt and
Eugene Frank Of the Bakery and
Confectionery Workers Union Of
fered the following resolution TO
the Ohio State Federation of Labor
and the same was concurred in by
the convention. The Bakers are
starting vigorous fight against
the Bakery Trust which has gained
such a foothold throughout the
state of Ohio.
Resolution Nc. 80.
Cincinnati. O., Oct. "a, 1872
Whereas, The Union Label of
the Bakery and Confectionery
Workers international Union of
America represents bakery goods
made under clean and sanitary con-
ditions;
Whereas, The Union Label on
bread is the only proof that can be
attached on the bread or on the
bread wrappers that the same is
made by Union men, and
Whereas, The Bakery and Con-
fectionery Workers International
Union at the present time and for
some SINE past has been involved
in great fight against large non,
Union and trust concerns, and
Whereas, 1t would be detrimen-
tai to the interest of organized la
Dor and the bread consuming pub
lie II general to p4rmit the non
Union ard trust concerns to secure
unlimited control over the bakery
industry in this state; therefore, be
it,
Resolved, That the Ohio State
Federation Of Labor in regular
convention assembled at Ports
mouth, Ohio, reindorse the official
label of the Bakery and Confec-
tionery Workers International IN
ion of America; and be it
Further Resolved, To request all
affiliated organizations to do all in
their power to make the agitation
against all non Union bakery go3ds
and especially the fight against the
non Union concerns of the Bread
Trust more effective, thus helping
the organized bakery workers to
gain a complete victory in their
present efforts.

Child Labor I'm Georgia.

Washington. Oct. "A. One of
the medical journals has this to
say: AT least for another year
ten year old children, who can
neither read nor write, will lend
their efforts to increasing the for
tunes of the cotton mill owners of
Georgia. The Anderson bill, which
raised the age limit for working
children to thirteen years for 1914
and provided for further increase
to fourteen years in 1915, hes been
sidetracked in the Legislature, and
the session is about to close. Geor-
gia has made practically no ad-
vances along this line since 1906.
This is not creditable to the tra-
ditiona. chivalry and civilization
of the South. /"

Chicago, Oct. 1.-The Panama
Canal is within sight of completion
but of course, there is a large
amount of work of an intricate
character yet to be performed. This

city for the purpose of securing
the services of high-class Electrical
Workers who are familiar with
high tension work. The operation
Of the mechanism on the Canal,
that is the locks, and other ma
cAinery that requires power to
handle, is to be entirely done by

Delegates Return From
Portsmouth.

The fourteen delegates who rep
resented the Labor Unions from
Hamilton at the Portsmouth cen
vention of the Ohio State Fedora
tion of Labor returned home last
Sunday. All of the delegates
agreed that it was one of the best
conventions ever held by the state
body. The convention was all
business from start to finish and
much was done for the good of the
labor movement throughout the
entire state of Ohio. The Hamil-
ton delegates were somewhat disap-
pointed IL not securing the next
convention for Hamilton. The
next convention will be held in
Youngstown.

Manchester, N. H., Oct, "a =
The third semi annual convention
of the New England District Branch
of the international Alliance of
Theatrical Stage Employees has just
been held in this city. The Man
chester local union was responsible

it has proven of much benefit to
the organization. 1t gives an op-

of the affairs of the New England

Improbable Policy.

Galesburg, ILL.,, Oct. 24.-That
the non English speaking foreigner
has the right to work wherever he
can find it, is patent, for 40 one
should be deprived of the oppor-
tnnity to work, no matter what
their nationality. Some employers
however, seek to use foreign speak
ing workmen to appease their de-
sire for profits, and indGing so
bring about situations that are fire.
quently expensive. A casting com
pany in this city has just entailed
a loss by fire of approximately
$50, 600. According to one of the
daily papers, the fire was discov-
cred by the night watchman before
it had made any considerable prog
ress, but as the watchman could
not speak the English language,
he was unable TO turn in the alarm
and before assistance Coz Id be sum-
moned the FIRE was beyond control
and the plant destroyed. 1t is as
serted that the company has made
it practice to employ foreigners
almost exclusively for the reason
that they were not familiar with
American customs and the Ameri-
can standard of living and could be
secured at a much lower rate of
wages than American working men.
Much criticism has been INDUCED
in by employers in recent years
against the methods Of labor un-
ions, and the employers have &C.
centuated and emphasized the plea
of efficiency" In this particular
instance it is wondered whether
the managers of the concern in
question are in harmony with the
general cry of the employers
throughout the country for eff
ciency."

Machinists' Long Strike.

Grand Rapids, Mich, Oct. "a. =
The men employed at the Baldwin,
Tuttle & Bolton shop have been on
strike since April % for nine
hour day, and as yet there has not
been break in their ranks. These
men are putting up valiant fight.
1t has been the evident plan of the
employers to starve the machinists
into subject;on, but the record al
eady made is evidence that the
employers have counted without
their host.

union LABEL
OF the Bakery Workers Adopt
cd By Five Local Bakeries.

Since the organizing of the Bak
er's Union in this city five local
bakeries have adopted the label
and are placing it on their bread
and other products. The union
has elected officers and are getting
along fine for a new organization.
We are pleased to state that more
shops will use the label in the near
future. Literature is being distri-
buted containing the names of the
union bakeries and also the names
and brands of the non union for
eign bread. The FIVE bakeries us
ing the labels are the Elite Baking
Company, High Street, Fred Sauer-

Submit 8 Hour Amendme mt.

Pittsburg, Oct. 24.-Among the
constitutional amendments which
the voters of Pennsylvania will
have an opportunity to vote upon
at the November election will be
and known as the eight hour day
amendment. Il permits the legis-
latu1e to fix the working condi-
tions of all men or women employed
on State or municipal work. The
constitution does not now permit
the legislature to pass any laws Civ
ing the hours of employment. The
amendment to be submitted passed
the 1911 and 1913 sessions of the
legislature. There are at the pres
eut time a number of state laws
and city ordinances aiming to es-
tablish the length Of the working
day, but it is asserted that if these
laws were contested in the courts
they would not stand, there not be-
ing authority in the constitution
fol the passage of such measures.
The amendment will provide the
legislature with power to enforce
an eight-hour day upon all con-
tractors employed on state, school,
or municipal work.

Why Not A Union Made Collar.

There is something about this
union collar proposition we cannot
understand, and frankly confess it.
A recent circular sent out by the
union garment workers of Troy,
where the union factory is located,
informs us that only about eight
girls are steadily employed in the
making of collars, whereas we
know that there are more than
5000, 600 uLion people in this
country who wear a few collars at
least during twelve month time.
Ever since the first union made
collar was placed on the market
we've" worn one, and had but
little trouble in finding one when
wanted. Anybody else can do like
wise. Again, 1--WE" are about as
particular about the lock" Of our
neck covering as the next person,
and there has not been a time for
more. than ten years when I'VE"
didn't have fit aud felt satisfied.
Knowing our experience. we
cannot but wonder why such a
state of affairs exist. Surely,
eight girls cannoe manufacture all
the collars our men wear, and sure
ly a good union man would not
walk the streets with norunion
collar on his neck.
