One Court Appeals to Another to Review
Decision.

Washington The district supreme
court, which originally sentenced Presi-
dent Gompers, Vice President Mitchell
and Secretary Morrison to jail for con-
tempt of court, has filed petition in the
supreme court of the United States, ask
ing that tribunal to review the decision
of the district court of appeals, which af-
firmed the conviction of the three men,
but reduced their sentences AT the same
time the United States supreme court has
under consideration another application
for review on writ of error presented
by attorneys for the convicted men. Orig
inally President Gompers was sentenced
to twelve months, Vice President Mitchell
to nine months, and Secretary Morrison
to six months, but under the recent ruling
of the court of appeals the sentences were
affirmed, but reduced. According to the
latest decree President Gompers is SEN
fenced to thirty days in jail, while Vice
President Mitchell and Secretary Morri-
son are assessed fine of $500 each, with
the proviso that upon refusal to pay they
are to be committed to Jail until it is paid.
1t is asserted by those informed on the
history of jurisprudence that this is the
first case on record where an inferior
court has applied directly TO the highest
tribunal to review the decision of another
inferior court. 1t is believed that the
United States supreme court will act upon
these applications in the immediate fu-
ture

UNION MOVEMENTS IN ERIE.
TroIIeymen Secure Satisfactory Advance
In Scale.

Erie. Pa.-The local union of trolley
men has secured new agreement with
the local traction company which is en-
tirely satisfactory; in fact, when the
agreement was submitted to the member
ship, only nine out of 300 opposed the ac-
ceptance of the new wage settlement
The new scale provides for an increase
of / cent per hour for the first-year men,
and a 2-cent raise after the first year
The first-year men are to receive 23 cents
per hour: over one year and less than
two years. 25 cents per hour over two
years and less than three years, 261s
cents per hour; over three years and less
than four years, 2S cents per hour; over
four years and less than five years, 20
cents per hour; over five years, 80 cents
per hour This agreement runs until
May 1, 1916. Men employed in the opera
ton of snow plows and snow sweepers
are to receive time and half for all
work, the oldest men having the prefer
ence on these runs. Time and half is
to be paid for all service in excess of fixed
time of regular run. All questions arising
during the life of the agreement, except
such as would change the wage scale, are
to be taken up by representatives of the
union and the company, and If they are
unable to gree the questions involved will
be arbitrated. 1t is considered that the
agreement is victory of no mean pro-
portions for the trolley men. The paper
makers and helpers employee. by the H.
F. Watson companys plants are on strike
for shorter hours, more v ages and better
conditions. The pla,1t is practically
closed and the comp-.ny has been unsuc-
cessful so far in sec dring strike-breakers.
More than 100 lGngshoremen employed
in discharging c1rgoes recently went on
strike for an insrease in pay from 80 cents
to 35 cents a hour Work in this line is
practically at standstill, as no effort
has yet BE- N made to secure strike-break-
ers, and neither is a settlement in sight
at present.

SHOP FORCE STRIKE.

Muskogee, Okla.-About 100 men, rep
resenting the entire shop force of the
Muskogee, Oklahoma and Gulf system,
are on strike, the crafts involved being
car repairers, machinists, blacksmiths,
boilermakers and coppersmiths. The
trouble was precipitated by the system of
pay adopted by the company, pursuant to
the enactment of the semi-monthly pay
day law Since the adoption of this law
the company has continued to retain
thirty days pay in arrears, as before
The men were also notified recently that
the regular pay day would be deferred
until another date. The master mechanic
was informed of the situation, but there
was no effort upon the part of the officials
to relieve it, and the strike followed.

BREWERY TRADES SIGN UP.

Worcester, Mass.-After many confer
ences between the proprietors of the
breweries and beer bottling shops and OIL
ficers of the brewery organizations. agree
ments have been signed that carry with
them improved conditions. The Brewery
Workers have secured the eight-hour day
for all inside men, an increase of 81 a
week, so cents a week additional to be
paid until May, 1914 and 81 week there
after Drivers, stablemen and helpers
will work nine hours day for eight
months and eight hours during the bal
ance of the year, and have been granted
81 a week increase in wages. The bot
tiers and drivers are also to receive 81 a
week increase. The new wage schedule
gives drivers $19 week, and SIG and $lT
a week for inside men. Aside from the
wage increase the agreement provides for
the union shop, settlement of disputes by
arbitration, placing the union label on all
products, and the handling of only such
goods from outside as bear the union Ia
bel.

ANOTHER LABOR DECISION.

MISUNDERSTANDING to a decision
recently rendered in the common pleas
court, in this city, members of trade union
organizations have the right to say with
whom they shall or shall not work. The
decision also establishes the right of la
Dor organizations to charge initiation fees
and collect such dues as the bylaws of
the organizations provide. This decision
was handed down in a case where the
president and secretary of the Painters
District Council were charged with con-
spiracy in having non-union painter re-
moved from several jobs The decision of
the Judge is important, as all his former
decisions have been adverse to labor.
The judge, after hearing the testimony of
witnesses for the prosecution, took the
matter from the jury and decided that
there could not be any conviction for con-
spiracy.
