Ohio Mines Closed.

Nearly 10000 Ohio bituminous coal
miners were forced into indefinite idle
ness on April because of the failure Of
the recent Chicago conference between
the operators and officials Of the Unit
ed Mine Workers of America to reach
new wage agreement to take the
place of the one recently expired.
Pending negotiations for a new agree
ment coal miners iii Indiana, Illinois
and Iowa will continue at work. The
situation in Ohio, however, is aegra-
waited by a mine run law, passed By
the Ohio Legislature, which viii 90

law was opposed strongly by the op-
orators. The Pennsylvania miners
have abandoned all their demands ex.

APPRENTICES RIGHTS.
They May Safely Be Left In the Hands
of the Trade Unions.

OF the race Unions.
In a recent issue of the New York
World there was an interview with
James l.. Carr, a retired hat manufac-
turer, on the subject of improper re
straints and abuses in connection with
apprenticeship writes NJ J. Green,
member Of the IIatters' union. The
charges which he makes may be brief
ly summarized as follows:
First.-That the real object of the
unions is to prevent people from learn
ing a trade and to see that those who
do learn it never become competent
workmen.
Second THAT unions are strength
ened by increasing the number of un-
skilled workmen because the less
skilled workman is the more de
pendent he is upon the power Of the
union to keep him in a job.
Third-That the officials Of the
unions will accept a bribe in connee-
ton with allowing a boy to become an
apprentice
Confning myself to the hat trade
with which am thoroughly familiar,
wish to say that these charges are alb
solutely without foundation in fact
The rules governing the system of APP
premiership, as printed in the laws Of
the United Hatters, provide that it
shall be the duty Of all members Of
our trade to assist and instruct brother
members who are not proficient in the
branch at which they desire to work
and to teach them amy branch of the
trade ut which there may be a scarcity
of help"
Further than this our rules specifi-
cally allow The employer to use an APP
prentice at any of the various proc
esses and make it obligatory upon him
to give all apprentices the opportunity
to learn thoroughly the Skilled work Of
sizing.
This makes it clear that SO far from
the burden of any charge Of deliberate
ly encouraging Incompetence resting
upon the union it must rest upon the
employer.
ANY man who is capable of reason
ING can see that skilled labor is a
unions greatest asset. as il is also the
greatest asset Of employers The his
tory of Industrial disputes shows that
lnskilled labor is useless to an en-
ployer Is it not then logical to as
sumo that our aim should be and is to
make all workmen as skilled ms posi-
BILE in their respective branches, so
that in the event Of controversy we
can more easily secure our demands
for better conditions and higher wages
In regard to the question Of bribes l
may quote the law of the United Hat
ters, ANY member of this association
who shall receive moneys from appli.
cants applying for membership in the
United Hatters Of North America OF
from boys who desire to become ap-
prentices or from any one on
behalf of said applicant or said boys
desiring to become apprentices shall
upon conviction be deprived Of all
rights to membership in this associa
ton"
/ think | have said enough to show
that in the interests of the apprentices
themselves nothing should be done
which would take their training out of
the hands Of the union.

Amatellr Headsman.

Most of us are won't tc think Of the
beheadment rs a relic Of the dark ages.
but the last decaptation which took
place in the British isles was no later
than 1920. The victims We're two un-
fortunates who had taken a part in the
Bonnymuir rising and were convicted
of high treason. The sentence was car
ried out in Stirling, Scotland. The
headsman, who was masked and wore
a serge gown, was a small. nervous
man who did his work SO badly that it
was not until the third stroke that he
decapitated one of the unfortunates.
The assembled crowd yelled 'Murderw
and the miserable headsman was heard
TO remark, Il wish to heaven had not
it to do" For a long time his iden-
tity was a mystery, but it later deyel-
oped that he was young medical stu
dent of Glasgow. The ak and the
mask which he used on the occasion
may still be seen.-New York Sun.

Factionists Vote to Join Brotherhood
of Electrical Workers.
Members of the genuine Brotherhood
of Electrical Workers, which is afifliat-
ed with the American Federation Of
Labor, will rejoice that a hard blow
has been given the secession organiZa-
ton. The Pacific district council Of
that organization. which was the lar
gest one in it, recently voted two to one
in favor with adiHating with the legiti-
mate international Brotherhood This
takes away the strongest prop of the
factionists, says the Minnesota Union
Advocate
For years bitter aud wasteful war
has been waged by this faction against
the true brotherhood and its interna-
tional officers have opposed or evaded
all efforts to effect an amalgamation
and secure peace. The American Fed
GRAFTON Of Labor tried all the means
at its command to work out an ad-
justment of the differences. but the
secession leaders would not agree to
any proposal, however liberal it was.

then outlawed the faction. 1t appealed
to the courts and lost in every case.
Finally the funds it had kept tied up
We're released to the brotherhood by a

The Pacific district council, which
has voted to 20 into the American Fed
GRAFTON of Labor, embraces more than
seventy unions in California. Oregon,

parts of Arizona, Nevada and Idaho,

OF civil engineers calculated that the

cannon firing a 500 kilogram projectile
with muzzle velocity of 900 inches a

PROFIT SHARING. =

Some manufacturers have been
disposed to criticise the Ford
profit sharing plan on the ground
that it would not do the workers
any good, because if their wages
were increased from $243 per
day to 50 per day they would get
in the habit of spending So per
day and would be no better off.
From what is printed in regard
to the matter it seems that Mr..
Ford expects his men to earn the
money or to be worth it to him.
If they don't earn the money ac-
cording to Mr.. Fords standards
he will not continue to pay it.
and if they do earn it surely it
is nobody's business how they
spend it.

Girl Strikers Excite Sympathy.

The Duchess of Marlborough was
very much interested in the cause Of
the girl strikers at a big pickle factory
at Millwall, in the east end Of Lon
don. and gave $3.50 to the fund Hun
dreds of the girls get only $1.75 week,
and only one of the strikers received
as much as $3.50, and in this case the
girl had to work until 9 p, m. one girl
twenty-one years old, who pulls trucks
all day, received $3.50 a week and an
other 80 cents less

LABEL ADVERTISING.

A resolution was adopted at
the Seattle convention of the
union label trades department
indorsing advertising in the
newspapers and in labor publica-
tions as the best means of adver-
tising trade union labels, says the
Shoe Workers Journal. No doubt
this is true SO far as printed
advertising matter is concerned.
Don't forget, however, that the
best advertisement of the union
label of all is the union man who
will demand 1t and who will ac-
cept nothing less. He inspires
respect for his consistency and
commands success for his cause.
