STRIKE FOR EIGHT-HOUR
DAY.

Vancouver, B. c., Sept. 10.-Oiscon-
tent with long hours of labor, which
has existed for some time past among
the workers of the Western Ladies'
and Misses Suit and Cloak company,
came to a head when the whole of the
tailors, pressers, and considerable
proportion of the experienced tailor
esses refused to return to work until
their demand for an eight-hour day
was granted. A fully attended and
enthusiastic meeting of the strikers
was at once held at the Labor Temple,
at which plans were made for giving
publicity to the dispute.

threats were made by persons in the
crowd to attack the plant. This was

TAFT GIVES US THE KEY TO
ROTTEN JUDICIAL PRO-
CEDURE.
(Contributed)

In Canada, at Montreal, in response
to organized lawyers call, some hund-
red men assembled; these men rep
resent the brains of those who forge
our slavery chains; so when they
spoke, we trembled. Among them
was William Howard Taft, and what
he said would make you laugh, for my
word it would while playing to the
gallery he spoke of judges salary, and
what he said was good; 1--WE require
Judges to think high with income that
will hardly buy the pork-chops they
consume;! while judges they are un-
derpaid, their thoughts cannot be up
to grade, let alone their black cos
tune" So now we know just why
the Bench hands down decisions with
a stencil that smells to the high heav-
ems; poor judges! they are underfed
and their decisions smell like dead;
it's "hooks" to us they've given Now,
while we have the reason, let's let
its logic freeze in; let's boost Judge
Humpty Dumpty's pay. If we'd give
him more money he might not be so
funny" and have much less to say.
Oh! anything to get a rest from
rank injunctions: we detest this-huge
judicial joke; now we don't want the
courts contempt, but think the money
would be well spent, and free us from
a yoke.

Frank w. Cotterill, one of the early
day workers in the labor movement in
Everett, has returned to Seattle after
a stay in Oregon of three years
Brother Cotterill was in Everett on
Tuesday, making the trip to Monroe to
take up business with the state board
of control for the Central Labor Coun-
Gil of Seattle, and the Plumbers I'm
ions of Everett and Seattle. He re-
ports activity on the part of the COM
mittees arranging for the November
convention of the A. F. of L. at Sc
attic. Six years ago when represent
ing the State Federation at the Nor
folk, Va, convention he worked with
Organizer G.. o. Young in an attempt
to get the 1909 convention, consequent
ly is much pleased and will do his part
when it comes to putting the North
west on the labor map of convention
states.
For three years Mr.. Cotterill has
been a resident of Southern Oregon,
during which time the climatic change
has materially changed him physical
ly In April of 1911 he suffered an ac-
cident which nearly cost him the loss
of limb, while attending to his work
as foreman of plumbers on the new
Hotel Medford. He received an in
jury to his left leg in the hosting ele-
vator which practically put him out of
commission for nearly year. Instead
of the usual manner of making himself
cripple and being forced to accept
light work and low wages, he opened
a plumbing shop, figured plans and
employed plumbers before he left the
bed after his injury. While he was a
resident of Oregon he greatly assisted
the Oregon State Federation of Labor
in getting affiliations. organized sew
eral unions in Medford, Grants Pass
and klamath Falls, said work being
done as voluntary organizer. He
says: "Medford, Oregon, was a city
of about the same size as Everett
when he was here fifteen years ago."
and labor conditions and the number
of unions were about equal. The only
difference has been shown since. Ev-
erett has built a home for it's union
organizations and has maintained the
same to this day, while Medford got
into politics and the result was what
might have been expected" He has
met many old-time acquaintances here
and expressed himself as feeling quite
at home, for Everett was the first city
in which Brother Cotterill took up the
detail work of organization among the
workers, and has continued to do his
part as an officer or worker in the
ranks ever since.

ADJUSTED
THEIR DISPUTE
THE DEPARTMENT OF LABOR
ACTED AS INTERMEDIARY
IN SETTLEMENT.

Baltimore, Sept 10.-The differences
1910, between the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad company and the machinists
employed in their shops on the sys-
tenn extending from this city to Phila-
delphia, Chicago, and st. Louis have
finally been adjusted through the eff
forts of the United States department
of labor. After the great strike that
existed on the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad in 1910 had bee nsettled efforts
were made by the machinists in its
employ to get a conference with the
officials for the purpose of entering
into a system of working agreements,
but without success. In March, 1872,
Assistant Superintendent of Motive
Power and Construction F. H. Clark
held a conference with the represen-
tatives of the machinists, when set
of agreements was submitted to them
which were not satisfactory, and con-
sequently further negotiations were
broken off until February, 1913, when
negotiations began anew, and after
many conferences were had no sat1s-
factory arrangements could be arrived
at. This caused a discontinuance of
further negotiations, and matters re-
mained in statu quo until July Is, 1913,
when Secretary Wilson, of the United
States department of Labor, through
representative, John A. Moffitt, Of
fered the good offices of his depart
ment in an endeavor to bring about
an amicable adjustment of the exist
ing differences. Mr.. Moffitt held sew
eral interviews with representatives OF
both sides to the controversy, and fin
ally succeeded in bringing about a re-
sumption of the negotiations. Many
conferences were held between the Of
ficials of the Baltimore and Ohio Rail-
road company and committee repre-
senting the machinists, including Gen.
eral President Johnston and Vice.
President Conlon. These conferences
continued for about four weeks, with
the result that articles of agreement
were determined upon for the period
of from September 1, 1913, to August
80, 1914, a part of which are as fol-
lows: A nine-hour workday; regula-
ton of apprentices; minimum wage
scale, with an increase of from 35
cents to SO cents per hour, and also
improved sanitary conditions, which
are as follows: First, good water
shall be provided for drinking pur-
poses and ice in season; second, heat
will be provided in all shops and
roundhouses in cold weather; third,
all pits and closets shall be kept in
clean and sanitary condition; fourth,
no employees shall be required to work
under a locomotive without same be-
ing placed over pit, or protected
either by bue flag or by another
employe present; fifth, all engines
shall be placed under smoke jacks
while fired up in roundhouse so far
as practicable. This is the first set
of agreements entered into between
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad COM
pany and their machinists since the
year 1908. This settlement will bene-
fit several thousand men.
