!. w. WIS. AFTER WALTERS.

Leaders of the Industrial Workers of
the World, of which William d. Hay
wood is moving spirit, are in Denver
for the purpose of organizing local
branches, especially among the walters
They are directing their efforts prin-
cipally to an attempt to unite the $50
members of the four local walters as
sociations, now in existence here, into
the new organization. An effort is being
made also to extend the walters union
to include all hotel employees.
There has been Walters union in
Denver for some years. but the older
walters in the principal hotels and cafes
never have joined. Most of the Amer
leans belong to the Walters association,
which is non-union. The older French
and German walters belong to the Gen
eva association, a strong foreign organ
ization that controls most of the walters
of Europe.
Many of the union men, it is said, have
gone over to the l. w. W. ranks, taking
a group of the association men with
them. Even the Geneva organization
has suffered a thinning of it's ranks. This
last DETECTION is considered the most
serious, as the most skilled and level
headed walters are Geneva men.-Den-

der the present law it is provided that
skilled labor, If otherwise admissible,
may be imported If labor of like kind un-
employed cannot be found in this coun-
try" The Objectionable clause reads as
follows: "And the question of the neces-
sity of importing such skilled labor in
any particular instance may be deter
mined by the Secretary of Commerce
and Labor upon the application of any
person interested, such application to be
made before such Importation and such
determination by the Secretary of Com
merce and Labor to be reached after a

tion is the provision requiring certifi-
Gates of character from the country from

METAL TRADES, ACTIVITY.

ashington.-President James O'Con-
nell, of the Metal Trades department, has
perfected plans whereby the internation-
al unions affiliated with the department
are to assign organizers to prosecute
work under his direction. 1t is proposed
by President O'Connell to invade the
cities where large numbers of the metal
trades are employed for the purpose of
conducting an active organizing cam
paign to the end that the efforts of the
department may be merged and the rep
resentatives of the several metal trades
organizations work in complete unity
and with but one end in view. There
will probably be ten organizers assigned
and it has been planned to open the cam
paign in Erie, Pa. on February l. The
local unions in the metal trades is the
cities visited are to be informed of the
plans and their assistance sought in car
rying out the programme as it has been
briefly outlined here.

the railroads, in my Judgment, will not
be justified in permitting this contro-
versy to come to breach because they
would prefer arbitration on plan diner
ent from that provided for in the law.
Il think the American people are not
only willing that railroad employees
should be paid good wages; think the
people are desirous that such wages
should be paid. l also believe that the
people are entirely willing that higher
freight rates and higher passenger rates
should be allowed by the Interstate Com
merce commission, if necessary to allow
good wages to be paid to railroad en-
ployes.
THE trouble is that, up to this time
the railroads have not been able to con-
vince either the Interstate Commerce
commission or the public that they are
not able to pay such wages without an
increase in freight rates and passenger
rates. When the railroads can make
that demonstration l expect to see high
er freight rates and higher passenger
rates allowed.

representatives on the Parish Boards
have been successful in some cases in
obtaining money relief for very needy
families. For this purpose the Parish
Board in Sofia put aside 100000 francs
in Varna $4,000 francs, and in Plovdiv
10000 francs. Other places are following
the example, but one can easily under
stand that this assistance is not enough
the more SO as great part of the money
goes to those who are not properly en-
titled to it.
The trade unions are compelled, there
fore, to support their own numerous
members and families whom the Parish
Boards deny assistance. Out of the 30,-
900 francs held in hand by the trade
unions in case of need, only a very small
amount remains. Should this state of
things endure longer. our trade unions
will not be in position, without the
help of foreign trade unions, to care for
them. The need of money for the sup
port of the workers grows day by day. as
hundreds of wounded men have been
picked up on the battlefelds who are
members of our unions and our comrades
and for whom we must care, as the med.
ical aid they receive is absolutely insuf.
