HARTFORD, Conn.,, Jan. 9.-It has
been given out here that one of the
important measures to be introduced
at the next Connecticut legislature

union FIGHTS BACK
IN INJUNCTION CASE
Novel Issue Presents Itself In De-
Tense Put Up by Striking
Upholsterers.

HOLYOKE, Mass, Jan. "a novel
issue has been presented by the local
Upholsterers' union in a suit in equity
brought by a furniture company as a
result of a strike.
The upholsterers endeavored to Sc
cure a 47-hour week and wage
scale of $21. The company refused
to accept the hours and scale de-
manded and a strike ensued. The
company charges that the union
sought to have the strike breakers
cease work, and that in some cases it
offered a. weekly allowance and car
fare to distant points,: l.. -
The Upholsterers' union, in filing
its answer, contended that the COM
pany did not come into court with
clean hands, and was, therefore, not
entitled to relief, because it had vio-
lated the law against advertising for
and soliciting workmen to fill the
places of the strikers without men,
tioning the fact of the existence of
the strike; also that it had hired men
to fill the strikers places by means
of false inducements, contained in
contracts executed by it's agents. which
We're later repudiated by the COM
pany, after the men had been induced
to accept employment, and also that
the contracts were unusual and un-
fair.
The outcome of this case will be
watched with interest.

FIX LOWEST WAGE
FOR WOMEN. AT So
New Jersey Public Service Cor
poration Establishes New
Wage Standard.

TRENTON, N. j., Jan. 9.-The Pub
tic Service Corporation of New Jersey
has issued a statement establishing
a minimum wage of 50 weekly for
girls and women in it's employ.
The welfare committee of this mon
opoly investigated and reported the
sum named as the lowest wage on
which girls coul live in. security
against the pitfalls and temptations
which beset young women who are
thrown in contact with the world.
The constant agitation carried on
by the American Federation Of Labor
is largely responsible for the final
conclusion of this monopoly to pay to
its employees at least an amount which
comes within the realms Of being
halfway fair.
The sum stipulated as minimum
does not contemplate any prepara-
tion for the future, but only the i'm
mediate necessity of the employees.

RETAIL CLERKS PUT
IN LIGHTING CLASS
Lafayette Union Makes Fight
Against Big Store for $5
Minimum Wage.

LAFAYETTE, Ind, Jan. s-The
strike of the retail clerks Of this city
against local department store is
still being vigorously prosecuted. The
strike has been on for 21 consecutive
weeks, and the ranks of the strikers
are still unbroken.
The clerks are fighting for a mini
mum wage Of IS per week for sales
women; $3.50 o'clock closing, except
on Saturdays. during the months Of
January, February, July and August.
The retail clerks organization dur
Ing almost it's entire history, has not
been what might be termed a militant
organization. Within the last two or
three years, however, numerous
strikes have been 'inaugurated by the
retail clerks, with considerable sue
cess.
While the strike mentioned is prov
ing a long-drawn-o contest, it will
undoubtedly prove beneficial in the
end to the employees of the depart
ment store against which the strike
is being conducted, as we'll as having
salutary influence on other COM
mercial Enterprises where clerks are
employed.
Organized labor in Lafayette and
vicinity are giving valuable support
to the clerks in their present contest.

Interstate Commerce Commission
Determines Cause of Many
Railroad Wrecks.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 9.-In the re-
cent report Of the interstate commerce
commission; safety first" is the para
mount rule of train operation sug-
gested by the commission in it's re-
port. The discussion Of disasters on
American railroads during the last
year constitute es an important feature.
1t is pointed out that many of the
accidents resulting in fatalities might
have been averted by the exercise of
proper precaution or the employment
of suitable devices and good equip
ment. Figures are given which show
that of the total of S,215 derailments
during the year, 1877 were caused
by defects of roadway and 3,S47 were
due to defective equipment. This in
dicates an increase. over the previous
year Of 652 of the sderailments due to
bad roadway and 1923 due to bad
equipment. -.

COMP PAhlfs
COl TR n 5 RATES X
Uncle Sans Competition Il
Quickly Bringing Five Big
Reasons" to Time.

WASHINGTON. Jan. s.-With the
parcels post established on Jan. l. the
express companies in almost feverish
haste are meeting the rate adopted by
the postoffice department and in some
instances, at least, are cutting under
the parcel post rates.
One instance is reported where q
prune shipper in California proposed
to ship. that fruit in eightspound
boxes, and under the parcel post rate
would amount to 96 cents per box.
The express companies, which for
merly have had monopoly of ship
ments. of this character, cut the rate
to 35 cents. :: .. ,.se..ssas...
This fact will no doubt stimulate
many other shippers to pack their
products in containers coming within
the weight allowed by the parcel post
Q1 pounds being the limit Of weight
permitted in packages). The\express
companies, in order to maintain their
business, will be compelled to meet
the parcel post rate, or as in the in.
stance given, cut below it..
Indications are that the parcel post
is striking a harder blow at the ex-
press monopoly than was anticipated.
That express rates will be reduced to
rock bottom by both the express COM
panies and railroads is practically q
foregOne conclusion.
While the limit of weight neces-
sarily will compel shippers to use
small packages, yet the big cut in
rates which undoubtedly will take
place will cover and exceed in most
instances the extra cost of packing.
Car shortages will become thing Of
the past, so far as the shippers or
perishable foodstuffs are concerned,
as the government will not snffer
produce in its cars to become ruined
by the policy Of railroads in with
drawing cars. -. .E.-s
The outlook is indeed bright for
the parcel post to revolutionize the
transportation business Of the entire
cOuntry. =

CONGRESS SCORES
INJUNCTION JUDGE
Gould, the Man Who Issued Bill
" Against Gompers Caught
With Goods.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 9.-Recently
the house Of representatives adopted
the Johnson resolution, calling for a
congressional investigation into GER
tain fire insurance companies in this
city.
!. Immediately following the passage
of the resolution Congressman Mann
j OF Illinois, who had strongly urged
the adoption of the measure, severe
ly criticised two judges whose names
appear as directors Of the companies
to be investigated, namely, Judge
Ashley M. Gould of the District OF
Columbia supreme court and Judge
George w. Atkinson, of the court OF
claims. Congressman Mann said:
Il notice that there is published
as director Of this company Hon
George w. Atkinson, justice of the
. United States court Of claims and as
director and vice president, Hon.
Ashley NJ. Gould, justice Of the su-
preme court Of the District of Col

directors. I know these two gentle
men, and do not intend to criticise
them, but I believe that if they ap-
q prehend their duty they will retire
i from these companies at once, and
the sooner the better.'
!. Justice Gould is the gentleman who
issued the first injunction against the
( officials Of the American Federation
OF Labor, and the recent incident is
interesting from the point of view
that a congressman criticises the JUS
tice for allying himself with CONNER
cial enterprises in the jurisdiction

Z and indicates that it is an incongru-
Gus situation for judge to enter into

Revived-May Help Many
Workmen's Widows.

NEW YORK, Jan. 9.-One hun.
dred and twenty-five widows of work
men formerly employed in the Brook
lyn Navy Yard have organized a com.
mittee which hopes to secure from
the government $4,000 in overtime
wages, which workmen had claimed
was due them. The claims have been
hanging fire for nearly 35 years.
On March 21, 1878, an order signed
by the secretary Of the navy was
posted in the navy yard, which
stated that eight hours would consti-
tute a days work. 1t said also that
any workman who chose to labor ter
hours day should get proportion
ate increase in pay.
Most of the men worked overtime
on the strength of the order. Dur
ing the time this order was in opera
ton many earned six months extra
pay, but they never received it.

Criticism of the club from another

1t is the first time we have heard
of an attack from this source. Usual
ly it has come from smaller fry, or
from Workingmen whose families
were made to suffer when the power
of the Commercial club was used to
destroy the building trades unions in
this city five years ago.
Mr.. Dowling's speech was not a
criticism of the Commercial club. 1t
was Ondemnation-and a biting
one. 1t seems to have hit home, too,

cause the institution has been per-

men who as officers of the club, or
as influential members have S,lhor.
