BIG CAMPAIGN ON.

Philadelphia In order to increase
wages, reduce the working hours, and
improve the general conditions of the
many thousands of girls engaged in Phil
adelphia shops in making ladies' shirt
waists, and cutters and fuckers, deter
mined campaign has been started to or
ganize them under the banner of the In
ternational Ladies' Garment Workers
union. The international union has won
several big strikes within the last three
months in the cities of the East. AS
result, agreements have been secured by
which the employees in factories making
ladies' shirt waists and dresses were
granted for this year, a working week OF
fifty hours, 80 cents an hour. double pay
for overtime, and good sanitary condi-
tons IN all factories. Next year IL these
same cities the work-week will be re-
duced to forty-nine hours, and in 1915
to forty-eight hours. The object of the
campaign now on is to establish similar
conditions in Philadelphia.

BUILD THEATER BY DAY LABOR.

Hamilton. Ontario-When the Trades
and Labor council interested itself in
the securing of license for the Griffin
Amusement company. of Toronto, for the
operation of a first-class vaudeville and
motion picture house in this city, it had
one object in view-the furtherance of
unionism and the giving OF assistance to
the concern that was in every respect
fair to organized labor in its string of
houses in Canada. In addition to engag-
ing union stage employees and musicians
and having its posters and general sign
work done by union men, all general re-
pair work is also done by union labor.
The amusement company now proposes
TO build a fireproof theater. The COM
pany has decided to put a competent
construction engineer in charge as fore
man. and build the entire theater by
day labor. paying them weekly on the
job. All the material. including steel, is
in the city. and large force OF brick
layers and masons will be put TO work
at once and viii be kept on the various
branches as the work requires until the
building is completed.
