Compensation Amendment.

Omaha, Dec. 4 The Central
Labor Union favors these four
amendments to the compensation
law, adopted by Nebraska citizens
at the recent election First, that
commission be created to pass
upon claims and awards under the
compensation act Second that
the schedule of awards in the pres
ent act should be modified ard in.
creased. Third, that an injured
workman should have the right to
exercise the option to sue, in the
event he can allege negligence on
the part of the employer, and that
in the event he is unsuccessful in
suit, ne shall not be prejudiced in
his claim for compensation under
the compensation act. Fourth
that in suit for damages for neg
ligence on contingent fee contract
the lawyers fee shall be fixed by
the commission or reated to pass on
claims.
The compensation act was passed
by the last legislature, but a suffi-
cient number of referendum petit
tions, started by a combination of
lawyers who favor damage suits,
forced its reference to the pc ople
for Endorsement. 1t is stated the
law will now take effect December
lst.
Lincoln, Neb., Dec. 4 With
the adoption of the compensation
law by the people of this state,
manufacturers are beginning to ad
just themselves to the new order.
Reports from various sections in
dicate that employers are favoring
the organization of mutual insur-
ance companies to carry their risks.

Urge Cooperation.

Madison, Wis, Dec. An a
committee report the conference of
governors in this city were urged
to favor states passing laws not
OILY permitting, but encouraging,
rural co operative societies. Rural
credits and farm loans on long time
and low rates of interest were also
favored. Gov. O'Neal of Alabama
who read the report said, in con-
clusion.
If we would check the drift of
our rural population to the cities,
if we would encourage the move
ment of back to the farm if we
would remove the menace of abb
sentee landlorism and encourage
the purchase of farms by tenants
and men of small means, if we
would increase agricultural pro-
duction and secure cultivation of
the large area of waste unproduc-
tive lancs in the country, we must
extend to the farmer the same ia
cilities for credit now enjoyed by
our commercial classes.

How Labor Gan Avoid War.

San Francisco, Dec. In a
leading editorial, The Bulletin
makes this reference to an anti-war
position that has since been unani-
mously indorsed by the Philadel
phia convention of the A. F. of l..
IF the American Federation of
Labor stands fast against war, and
against all public policies which
lead to war, as its executive board
has recommended that it Shall dc,
the peace of the United States will
be as safe an men can make it.
The federation now has more than
Z, 900, 600 men. Without the con.
sent of these men the United States
can never make war.
A uuited workingmen' move
ment against war promises more
than any clher weapon. Wars
come about because the forces of
militarism are organized to the last
deg ee, subordinating the will of
the individual to the will behind
machine. War spirit, which rises
quickly enough when the first
blood is shed, can be deliberately
manufactured by means of this ma
chine. The war organization can
De successfully opposed only by an
otner organization as far-reachlng
anu as determined. NO working

To unite Shoe Workers.

Lynn, Mass. Dec. t. President
Tobin, of the Boot and Shoe
Workers union, has accepted the
invitation of the Central Labor I'm
ion of this city to address a mass
meeting Of Lynn shoe workers for
the purpose Of uniting several in
dependent movements with the
tonafde organization. In his let
ter Of acceptance President Tobin
says
For some years past Lynn has
not been an attractive field for our
organization We have believed
that the several kinds Of unionism
in the shoe trade in Lynn should
be tried out to The end that their
superiority or shortcomings, which
ever might be their manifestation
were conclus;vcly determined We
have felt confident tnat in the end
nothing but failure can follow from
divided effort
Local unionists believe that the
various experiments OF independ-
ent organizations referred to by
President Tobin, have brought
these members to the point where
they will now listen to the advan-
tages of bona ide trades unioDism.

The Silent Member.

You have him your local un-
ion. He is an indispensable ad-
lunct to nearly all locals. He
couldn't make a speech to save his
life, bat he is always ready and
willing to pick up the heavy end
of the work. Many times he has
jeopardized his job because he had
the nerve to be one of a committee
to demand the rights of labor when
the brother who could talk well
would refuse to serve.
When you are telling some one
about the grand speech that some
brother made at one of your meet
ings don't fail to say a good word
for the silent man. don character
ize him as a stick because he is not
all the time telling how this OF
that should be done. We hav
known men who are excellent talk
ers who were not worth the powder
to blow them up when put up
against actual committee work.
While we must have takers, we
must have also the silent members.

indianapolis, Dec. 4 The ex-
ecutive council Of the International
Typographical union, has issued an
appeal to all unionists for aid in Sc
curing the passage, by Congress,
Of a bill known as II. R. 1902,
which will eliminate the govern
ment as competitor to printing
Offices in the printing Of envelope
corner cards. 1t IS shown that the
government has this work done in
a Dayton, Ohio concern, under
conditions that wonld not be toll
Grated in a union establishment.
The government pays all freight
and shippirg charges, and does
its own accounting, additional
factors which make competition on
the part of private concerns i'm
possible. The printers ask that
the bill above referred to be passed.
This will make a nenewal of the
contract impossible.

Cited For Contempt.

Stockton, Cal, Dec. 4 Editor
Lamereux, of the Stockton Labor
News, and several other unionists
have been cited to appear before
Judge Norton, of the Superior
court, to show why they should
not be punished for contempt,

to ''intimidate the court" by the
publication of an article lii the La
Dor rews which stated that "wheu
a judge wants to do something not
authorized by law he simply makes
a law to suit himself" The ac-
ton referred to was a temporary
order issued by Judge Norton en-
joining peaceful picketing,
