EFFORTS Of AMERICAN FEDERATION
Of LABOR MEETING WITH SUCCESS

The American Federation of La
Dor, through its executive officers.
are waging a vigorous campaign for
organization, and their efforts are
meeting with success. With many
organizations in various parts of the
country directing the work personally
the ranks of organized labor is
bound to swell.
As an aid to these workers the
following has been issued in circular
form and is being distributed
throughout the country. II is print

Water runs down Hill. but water
can be forced up hill. The tendency
of wages among the unorganized is
always downward. Organization
among wage earners not only checks
this tendncy. but forcss wages up.
Employers are endeavoring to
make all the profit they can. and If
their workmen are unorganized they
pay them the lowest wages so that
employ rs profits may still be on
the increase. The employer fears or
respects the power of the union. for
he knows that organization among
his workers will compel him 10 pay
them decent wages and accord them
better treatment.
Many schemes are being hatched
with the aid of INSCRIPTIONS en-

ABOUT LABOR CAMPS.

In a recent issue of the New York
Times the following appeared: The
investigators of the State Bureau of
Industries and Immigration report
that there are 1000 plague spots in
this state, the seats of as many in
sanitary labor camps. More than
so, 900 human beings, immigrant la
borers in these camps, themselves
subject to loathsome epidemic dis
eases, are spreading infection to the
millions of residents in New York 5
towns and cities. The camps lack
even the ordinary accommodations
for cleanliness. The employers of
this army Of ignorant workmen are
themselves untaught, or needless of
the physical and economic waste in
human energy which they are incur
ring to say nothing of the expense in
money and lives which they are caus-
ing to the communities that suffer
from the foul contagion of the camps.
No public authority seems to have
jurisdiction over these plague spots.
In the improved camps of the Cat
skill aqueduct worllmen and in the
new Wickwire camp near Buffalo,
conducted by humane and enlighten-
ed employers, it has been found that
the immigrant laborers are apprecia-
tive of better accommodations and re-
spond quickly to the appeal to change
their habits of living. The newly
created state public health commits
sion, 1t is reported. is considering a
bill which would place all these un-
controlled labor camps under its SUI
pervision. When this measure is
passed and becomes effective, one of
the chief menaces to the public
health in this state will be dispelled.

of 10 to 10 hours each, while or
ganized mechanics in thess same in
dustries receive S2.25 to SO per day
for l 0 and y hours.
Organized laborers in the coal
mines average S2.62 per day of eight
hours work Organized laborers en-
ployed in the construction of build
ings average SO per day for eight
hours.
The wages given will be increased
as the organization of these men
grow stronger and larger, and will
never be decreased so long as the
union is maintained.
The American Federation of Labor
has no mission other than to assist
the workmen to secure justice. The
membership of organized labor is
made up entirely of workmen and
woTkwomen. Organized workmen
know so well the value of the unions
that they support the American Fed
GRAFTON of Labor for the purpose of
organizing the non-unionists so that
they, too, may derive equal bene-
fits.
The union workmen want to help
the non-union workmen. but they
cannot do so unless the non-union
help themselves.
The dues you will pay into union
will be returned to you a thousand
fold in higher wages and shorter
hours.
There are over 100000 union
members in this country. Why? Be
cause il pays to belong to a union.
The union is for the wage workers,
and them alone. Every man and
woman who works for wages, ire
spective of nationality, is invited into
the union and will be made welcome.

Sentinel Special Service.
San Diego, Calf, May 800
much greater has been the demand
for space and exhibit room at The
San Diego 1915 Exposition, than was
apprehended by the city when the
project was first launched, that
President ID. c. Collier and the board
of exposition directors have asked
the city to vote an additional million
dollar bond issue, and the measure is
warmly seconded by the city council
and the entire population.
1t has been found necessary to
erect eight additional buildings. be-
sides the ten first planed by the di-
rectors, in addition to which an i'm
mense stadium is to be constructed in
Balboa park, capable of accommodate
ing the largest conventions and other
gatherings.
The San Diego 1915 Exposition,
which 1t was at first thought would
be largely an affair Of the Southwest,
has grown so in favor with eastern
states and foreign countries, that its
scope has broadened to world-magni-
tude in few brief months, and San

expects of it as host in 1915.
President ID. c. Collier is now in
Washington to urge upon Congress
the advisability of appropriating ST.
100000 for national participation in
the exposition. At the time San
Francisco opposed New Orleans in the
contention for the 1915 exposition
site, the northern city pledged itself
not to seek government aid if recog-
nized as the celebration city at the
opening of the Panama Canal, and
when San Francisco recently asked
Congress to make an appropriation
for exposition participation. the re-
quest was refused in view OF the for
mer pledge. San Diego feels that it
has a perfect right to seek and re-
ceive government support for its 1915
exposition, as it has never bound it.
self by any pledge or promise to the
contrary, and the substantial inter
est being taken in the exposition by
so many states and foreign nations
makes increased magnitude not only
advisable but necessary.
Much of the popularity of The

buted to the plan of President Collier

other plan, and the workmen can be
protected against avarice, greed, ty-
ranny and injustice.
When workmen are organized they
realize that the unions make indie
pendent instead of dependent men.
The American Federation of Labor
has organized thousands of unions
that have raised the wages of the
members 100 per cent since they
were organized.
The organized coal miners last
year secured an increase in wages
of SS.000.000 and organized metal
miners got an increase in wages
during the same time of over s5,-
100000.
The organized men who work on
the railroads repairing tracks got a
raise last year of S2.0O0,00O.
The organized ssamen got a raise
last year of 100000.
The organized men and women in
the clothing industry secured raise
last year of over S2.0O0,0O0 and
they have secured more increases this
year, because their union is growing
stronger.
There are only few of the Or
ganiZa tions that secured more wages,
shorter hours and better working
conditions. Every organization in
the American Federation of Labor
secured some benefit at last year,
and will get more this year.
But the non-union men and wom-
en- are working for the same wages,
exc pit where they have been given
a slight raise to keep them from join
ing a union.

COURT REPORT PLATES
ARE FOUND DAMAGED
CARELESS HANDLING MAY PRE-.
VENT THEIR BEING USED BY
NEW YORK FIRM.

Little Rock, April 15.-Something
stronger than an injunction will pre-
vent a portion of the plates from
which the Arkansas supreme court re-
ports were printed, being used by the
New York law book publishing con-
|cern, which loan was authorized by
the legislature. A restraining order
twas then asked to prevent Secretary of
State Hodges permitting the plates to
go outside the state.
The plates, which are are of metal
composition such as are used in print
ing work, were packed in boxes and
stored in the hospital building of the
old penitentiary. The laborers who
handled them were careless and many
of the boxes were permitted to break
open and their contents to spill out.
The workmen did not pick up the
pilates when the box broke, but tramp
ed on them until many were destroy
ed. In the few instances in which the
plates were picked up, they were
thrown into pile and jumbled up
with plates from other volumes until
it would take a Philadelphia lawyer
to solve the puzzle.
Pending the decision in the injunc-
ton suit, the boxes containing the
plates are being stored beneath the

General W. l.. Moose spent most of

Norwood, former attorney general,

suit against the Iron Mountain rail
road and other claimants to property
between the old statehouse and the
Arkansas river. This suit will be
filed in Pulaski circuit court before
the end of the week.
The river front at this point is a
valuable piece of property. 1t was a
part of the land granted to the state
upon which to build the capitol. In
some manner the state has apparently
lest control of the property, and now
desires to know how it was done The
statute of limitations cannot run
against the state, and those now in
possession of the property cannot
claim squatters' title.
