Gil of Electrical Workers, of which the

demning the Bell Telephone Com
pany for. its tactics used against the
girls. The letter was signed by John
Fennel, secretary, and read as fol-
lows:
During the telephone operators sit
uation in Boston, the Bell Telephone
Company sent male strike breakers
from every large center into our city,
housed them at the most select hotels
so as to have them ready to take the
place of our girls should they go on
strike.
CAS- a result of this deplorable af-
fair the community rose up in arms
against the invaders; every neighbor-
hood boosted of it's groups of union
operators, by proclaiming they would
defend them financially and morally
as their own daughters.
eve beg of you (The Central Labor
Union) to send down, through your
avenues and streets the cry of the
Boston Girl Telephone Operator, CEN
surfing through the press of your city
the actions of the Bell Telephone Com
pany."

Is Boycott Illegal? Sure

Washington, May IS. B. kauff
man, a publisher in Gainesville, Pa,
who furnished to the steel investigat-
ing committee copy Of the steel pool
agreement, which he printed for A. F..
Huston president of the Lukens Iron
and Steel Company, of that place,
charges that the men against whom
he gave testimony have driven him
out of business as printer and into
bankruptcy. Kaufman was for many
years the owner and publisher of the
Daily Union at Coatesville, which re-
Gently was sold by the sheriff. Ac-
cording to the story told to Repre-
sentative Stanley of Kentucky, who
was chairman Of the steel inyestigat
ing committee, Kaufman was forced
out of business because men against
whom he testified we're influential
enough to strip his paper of advertis
ing. 'sIt took the malmost two years
to close up our business, but they did
it very effectively, leaving me without
a cent" is the declaration of Kauff
man. Yet the attorneys for all the
subsidiary companies of the Steel
Trust have united in their opposition
to the labor organizations in refusing
to purchase the products of unfair
concerns, denominating the practice
as unjust and un-American." :.

To Probe Mine Disaster

Finleyville, May The State and
county authorities are conducting a
rigid investigation into the cause of
the mine explosion here. which result
ed in more than 100 men. losing. their
lives. Chief Mine Inspector James E.
Roderick has issued a statement which
is sensational in character He esti-
mates the number Of dead at 100, and
declares that the explosion evidently
resulted from more than carelessness.
The fact that the fire boss records
were put under lock and key, while
other papers bearing directly upon the
operation of the mine, were, it has
been alleged, removed from the mine
ONCE, has given the matter a serious
appearance. President Van Bittner
of the Pittsburgh district United Mine
Workers of America, declared that the
dead Will total $50, and is aiding the
investigators. The chief mine inspec
tor asserted that he would appoint
two commissions to investigate. one
to be composed oftfive State mine in
spectors and the other to be composed
of three expert engineers.

Union Hospital Success


= Eureka Cal, May "A union labor
hospital has been in successful, opera
ton III this city for seven years. The
hospital is in the. center of a great
numbering industry. The institution
represents an investment of $4,000
and was started on its career WITHOUT
any capital In 1906 delegates from
nine local unions representing. the
woodsmen and sawmill workers of
Humboldt county, held a meeting, most
of the delegates coming with the au-
thority to cooperate in the building of
a hospital The hospital was incorpor-
ated as non profit making institution
and tickets were sold to men for $40,
these tickets emitting the holder to
hospital care and physicians in case
of sickncs or accident during the Pc
riod of one yoar. The capital neces-
sary was raised by selling a 100000
bond issue. All supplies, hospital fur
niture and running expenses have at
all times been paid>out of the income
to the hospital which in addition, is
gradually reducing the Indebtedness
of the institution. A conspiracy was
entered into by the mill owners to kill
the project, which came near being
successful, but eventually failed.

SERIOUS CHARGE AeAINsTsi.w.w3

Hazleton, Pa. Ma. Many Charges
are made against the l. w. VS. in
their dealings with wage earners whom
they induce to strike. Upon the close
of the recent mill strike in this city a
meeting was held and several speakers
severely criticised the methods of this
band of Industrial buccaneers. Andrew
Matti, an officer Of the United Mine
Workers of America made the follow
ing statement: The l. W. WIS have
$500 in bank but they have not pro-
vided that relief for which the money
was contributed. They have withheld
funds in order that they might have a
fat living for themselves. You strikers
have the right to demand that money.
If the l. w, WIS didn't win the strike
they won the. money" The $500 men
toned was donated for the benefit Of
the strikers by the local unions in
Hazleton, and action will probably be
taken to prevent the l. w. WIS from
using this money for any other purpose
than that for which it was intended.

been successful in obtaining a sub
stantial increase in wages and better
working conditios as the result of a

dent Tobin, of the Brotherhood, states
that all over the country there is a

sign increased wage scales and grant
better working conditions. with scarce
~ an difficulty encountered where men
are thoroughly organized. At the pres
ent time there are only few men
involved in strike while at this time
in years past there have beeen sew
eral thousand engaged in contests,
which indicates that employers begin
to realize that the anicable adjust
ment of differences is of equal advant-

sters. During the past month the In
