Commissions c. E. Vaughn as
Organizer for this District.

Mr.. c. Vaughn, Organizer
American Federation of Labor,
Hamilton, Ohio.
Dear Sir and Brother:
Enclosed you will find COM
mission as Volunteer Organizer
and Label Agent for the American
Federation of Labor as we'll as pass
word and manual.
Believing that it is only by or
ganization in the trade union form
through its educational, social, and
fraternal influences that actual ad.
vantages, Improvement, and re-
forms can be gained for the masses,
it is the intent of the American
Federation of Labor to organize
thoroughly both the skilled and
unskilled worker, wherever and
whenever possible to help create a
greater demand, not only among
the organized workers, but all the
workers and all the public, for the
product of union labor; union la
belled products, union cards ana
buttons. With these purposes in
view | take pleasure in granting
you this commission, hoping that
you will accept the same, perform
the duties and labor pertaining
thereto and work to the best of
your ability.
You must understand that such
work is not always of the most
pleasant character, but on the con-
trary requires much sacrifice. To
be an active worker in the labor
movement and no other should
hold such a commission means
that the ordinary pleasures of life
must often be foregone; that hui
mility must sometimes be endured
that the pointed shaft of the critic
must be met with patience, and in
suit often borne in silence, CON
scious that we are working for the
right. The pathway of labor il
neither wide nor strewn with reses.
On such occasions it is always well
to remember the cause for which
we are banded together.
! Inasmuch as questions of fact

to time write to this office, stating

WORLD OF LABOR

The Raincoat Makers Union of
Boston has voted to join the United
Garment Workers Union, affiliated
to the A. f. of L. This local is
the last remnant of a so-called
Revolutionary" organization that
claimed large membership in that
city during the Past year.
The strike of fremen and shop
men, which tied up the Louisiana
and Northwestern Railroad, has
ended The men struck because
of failure to receive wages for the
past two months. On being guar
anteed prompt payments in the fu-
ture they declared the strike off
and returned to work.
After short strike the employees
of the Butte Milling Company, in
Armourdale, Mo, secured the
adoption of their new wage scale,
which will be accepted, it is be-
lieved, by other mills in that vicin-
ity in the near future. The trade
union movement is urging the
adoption by the city common coun-
Gil Of an ordinance which provides
for the union scale of wages in all
departments of the city. The cen,
tral body has appointed large
committee to assist in the organi-
cation of the Metropolitan Street
Railway Company.
The different nationalities en-
ployed at the Baldwin Locomotive
Works urder normal conditions,
when about 1900 men are en-
ployed, are said to be divided as
follows: Americans, 1920; Irish
2345; Poles, 14l8; Russians, 1915;
Germans, 972; Austrians, 1913;
Italians, 693; English, 299, Scotch,

Efforts to arbitrate the machin-
lists strike at Trenton, N. J have

attitude. The strikers are asking
for wage increases, and the en-
ployers insist their is nothing to
arbitrate. They suggest how
ever, that if the machinists declare
the strike off and return to work,
it is possible they might consider
their workers pleas. A failure to
consider their requests brought on
the strike. About 400 men are in
volved. Federal mediators are on
the ground, and the machinists
have cured settlement with one
large employer.
The Colorado Fuel and Iron
company, whose union miners are
now on strike, have discovered
that employees are padding" the
payrolls, and large amounts have
been filched from the Rockefellel
corporation. On the heels of this
discovery comes the announcement
that the company's strike-breakers
are becoming restless and threaten
to strike, because of wage reduc-
tions. These strikebreakers do not
seem to appreciate the brand ol

HAD NO ACC0MPL|CES

assassin of the French Socialist leader,
Jean Leon Juares, denied at a prelim-
mary hearing today that he had ac-
completes in the crime. He reiterated
that Jaures had betrayed and wronged
the country.
Villain, slight of build and with his
blonde hair brushed back so that he
looked like student, told how he had
sought the Socialist leader after buy

shot him on the streets or wherever
he found him. Extras announcing
mobilization had melted him to anger
and he declared that he spoke to no
one of his intention.
Villain will probably be submitted to

1t has been suggested in some quart

The reason Is that under the present

and German colleagues.
At Westminster cathedral, however,
it was thought that a postponement of
the conclave was most unlikely

Because of the abundant supply Of
cotton seed meal that there is likely
to be in this country this year, speci-
alists in the Department of Agricul-
ture believe that the farmer has a
better opportunity to make money by
feeding beef cattle than for some
years past.
The department estimates that
about 100000 tons of cotton seed
meal will be available this year at
prices ranging from $22 to S24 a ton
as compared with S27 to $31 demand
ed last year. Experiments Of the de-
partment have proven that the sub
stitution of cotton seed meal for corn
and clover hay results in great saving
in the feeding of cattle.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 23.-Bad eggs
are worrying the Department of Ag-
riculture. II has discovered well or
ganized triffic in rotten eggs center
ing in Chicago. II considers the situ-
alton so serious that 1t has inaugural
ed a vigorous campaign, aided by
state and city authorities in all parts
Of the country, to break up the traf-
fic and send the promoters to Jail.
The commen impression that rot
ten eggs are usefuly only in demon
stration of disapproval is dispelled by
the department in an official state
ment. 1t admits that inedible eggs
may be utilized "for technical pur-
poses, such as tanning leather" The
trouble its, it says. the rotten egg
traffickers deceive the public into
buying the product for food purposes.
From evidence already gathered.
the department states, there seems to
be a definite market in Chicago for
riots and spots" at 50 a case OF 80
dozen. In conscience, rots and spots
from all parts of the country are be-
ing shipped into Chicago.
The department is going to get
quick action in its campaign against
the traffic, II states. The delay ne
cessary to secure authorization from
Washington to make seizures OF unfit
shipments has been eliminated
through the cooperation Of state au-
thoritles, who are acting with great
promptness. The aid OF the state au-
thorities, not only makes immediate
seizures possible but facilities the
gathering of evidence for criminal
proceedings against the offenders.
Most OF the rots and spot that
reach Chicago are first broken and
| frozen" the department says in its
official statement. "They are ther
I sold to bakers for use in cakes and
other forms of food. In one instance
at least, shipment Of these eggs was
traced to a firm which admitted that
they had no use for them except in
food.
"As a matter of fact, federal in
spectors have been able to secure
ample evidence Of the use of unfit
eggs for this purpose. With state and
federal authorities working together
1t is believed the traffic can be bro
ken up very rapidly. In this connec.
tion it is pointed out that most OF
the firms using these unfit eggs prob
ably do so reluctantly. believing thai
the competition Of others forces them
into the traffic However, 1t has been
amply demonstrated by the depart
ment that the frozen and dried eggs
business is a successful and important
industry only when based on the use
OF good eggs, handled under specia
conditions"
