VIGILANT UNION1STs

Toronto, Canada, May 14.-The
vigilance of trade unionists in this
ity blocked proposed amendment to
he Ontario Garnishee Act, advocated
y the Retail Merchants Association,
which would affect the unorganized to
greater extent than the organized.
The present law provides that up to
$25 per week a workers wages are
exempt from garMishee on account of
debt. All over that amount, however.
is liable. TIL amendment provided
that q debtor could be- garnisheed for
SO per cent of his wages, no matter
how large or small the same might be.
In other words, they wanted the power
to take $3.50 per week from the man
who might only. earn $500. If a
worker, for instance, earned $500 a
day, and through sickness or incle-
ment weather, worked but two days,
the amended act, if passed, would
permit one-half of this amount to be
garnisheed. The advocates of this
measure attempted to slide through
the amendment with as little public
ity as possible. The unfairness of
the proposal, presented by a large
delegation of unionists, surprised the
advocates of the amendment and con-
WINGED the committee having the mat
tr In charge. The proposal was de-
feated.

TRY SOLVING
HOUSING PROBLEM

Washington, D. c., May 14-"The
United States is the only first-grade
country that has not solved the hous-
ling problem nationally" said Repre-
sentative Borland, of Missouri, in urg-
ing the adoption of his bill that
would> authorize bond issue of $10,-
100000 for the construction of sani-
tary homes for wage-earners in the
District Of Columbia The money
would be loaned to non-commercial
organizations to construct dwellings
under supervision of the District au-
thorities. Unionists in this city favor
the plan, as do other people who have
given the question study. One advo-
cate said an attempt to eliminate al
ley conditions without providing sani-
tary houses for the alley jewellers
would merely mean more congestion,
and that peopel who are paying So a
month rent in alleys cannot pay SIS
on a street unless two families crowd
into one house. Another speaker said
that wherever rows of sanitary houses
have taken the place of ''ramshackle
| huts" conditions have improved great
ly, and that sanitary houses could be
rented at $3.50 and So a month and
would always be tenanted.

Injunction Writ Denied

New York, May 14.-Since law has
recognized strikes, it is impossible to
secure injunctions as remedy for the
injuries incident to such struggle.
was one of the views expressed by
Judge Hough of the Federal District
Court in refusing the request of the
Gill Engraving Company for an in
junction against the Photo Engravers'
Union. The courts views are out of
| the ordinary, and the position of or
ganized labor that injunctions should
not apply where statutory law covers
alleged violations, is sustained by
Judge Hough, who objects to the posi-.
ton of the Gill Company, which holds
that if the penal law has been violat-
| ed, an injunction should be issued
he court further said that the union
rs had not combined with any in.
ntion of injuring the Gill company
though that injury had occurred
nd might have been foreseen. The
abject of the Conspiracy had been
| merely to increase the power of the
union, so as to get more, easier and
INetter-paid work, and that, the Judge
I remarked, was now considered laud-
able
Z "As to the means employed" he
went on, "everything lately done and
/ alleeed as ground for present action
consists in threatening strikes. This
is the exercise of a legal right. If
the defen Z hts have sought to attain
a legal right by legal means, that a
motive or part of a motive was hate
of the McGill Company is immaterial. {"
The company charged that the AL
lied Printing Trades Council was in
volved in alleged conspiracy, but the
court held there was no proof that
printers, bookbinders and others had
taken part. Judge Hough said It was
important to study the motive of the
Iunion. what motive" he asked, Gin
cited defendants to injure the Gill
company? None, except that it him
ders the expansion and aggrandize-
ment of the union"
The decision is an important vic
tory for the Photo Engravers, who
have opposed the Gill company as
part Of the war against the non-union
publishing house of Doubleday, Page
and Company. The conduct of the in
terested unions was the subject for
the Federal grand jury investigation
recently.

st. Paul, Mimi, May 14.-State
Commissioner of Labor Houck is an
ardent advocate of safety first" cam
paigns, and produces statistics to show
that these educative movements have
resulted in reducing the number of
injuries in Minnesota since 1910, when
251> fatal and S,137 non-fatal accidents
were reported. Against these figures,
The state official shows that last year
he number of fatal accidents have
been cut down to 1876, and the non
fatal to $3.50. Commissioner Houck
says that employers have, in many
cases, willingly co-operated in this &C
cident prevention campaign, and that
where an employer will accept the
value of safety he becomes boost
err" which is more effective than drag
ginfi him into court and fining him
$25 to $50. For the unduly stubborn
employer Mr.. Houck makes the fol-
lowing suggestion: 1.-THE laws Of the
state must be so stringent that if a
case comes up where an employer re-
fuses to install proper safety devices
or methods he can be compelled to
do so.'
