WORLD OF LABOR

The strike of the teamsters at
Seattle for higher wages and rec
ognition of the union, beguu last
July, and which caused the employ
ment of forty-hve extra policemen
and the shooting of several mer,
has been ended by arbitration. The
union is not formally recognized,
but the men get better wages and
the right to wear their union
buttons.
Judge John M. Kennedy of Kansas
City, Mo-, does not agree with the
views of his predecessor in regard
to peaceful picketing. Five union
men were arrested on the charge of
picketing nonunion shop and the
court held that picketing in the
State is lawful if within bonds,
and he will allow men to walk up
and down while picketing as long
as they do not stop, congregate or
disturb the peace.
The Janitors Union Of San Fran
cisco has asked the Labor Council
to assist in getting t1e building
laws so amended that IN the future
building will be SO constructed tLat
windows may be cleaned without
danger to lite or limb of janitors 50
employed. So great are the fatali-
ties among men engaged in this
work that insurance rates are pro-
hibitive, and IN some cases com
panies refuse to insure the men
engaged in this particular line OF
work.
The Bakers Union Of Butte,
Mont, has won a complete victory
in strike for better conditions and
their three months struggle is al
an end. Higher wages, overtime
regulation, a standard wage rate
and other concessions have been
agreed to by their employers. No
discrimination will be made against
men who went on strike. The
wage question has been settl d as
follows Regular journeymen, fore
men, $33 a week; benchhands,
S27 SO week; overtime to be paid
for at the rate of time and half.

This question was bitterly contested
at the convention of the order, held
in Washington, D. c., last Sep

The international executi e
board of til United Mine Workers
of America adjourned on May s
subject to the call OF President John
P. White, after having been In ses-
sion since Monday, discussing the
conditions of miners in Colorado;
Ohio, and West Virginia. The
board issued a statement advising
against a general strike ''at this
particular time," but affirming in
1 STRONG terms its SunDort for the
striking miners of Colorado. The
report also condemned John D.
Rockefeller, Jr, who, it was as
serted, could have averted the loss
of life and damage to property in
Colorado by saying lone word,
favoring a settlement through a
meeting between the representa-.
tives of the striking employees.

important meeting Tuesday night.

Griffith as a visitor and when he

strted that the International has
now a force of sixty nine organic
ers on the road and they are doing
splendid work organizing the ma
chinists. He also stated that the
International has taken up the work
of organizing the different branches
of the trade separately. BY 50 do
ing they have found that better
results have been obtained. They
are organizing the machinists in
the Engine works, the printing
plants manufacturing mining ma

A referendum vete will shortly

for over an hour and after the
meeting the machinists had a nice
little lunch and refreshments pre-.
pared for the members which was
enjoyed by all who attended the
meeting. One thing way very no.

lists who do not belong to the
union.

WHAT is your union doing? You
may have asked this same quest
ion from trade unionist that is a
member of some other union. We
are often asked this question about
some organization but we are up
against the same problem that the
other fellow is. We don't know
what the labor organizations are
doing unless some member will vol
unteer to give us little information
about the progress and the ad
vancement of his union. THIS is
the one way the PRESS has Ia find
ing out what is going on in the la
Dor unions and the places where
labor is employed. If you do not
see anything in this paper pertain
ing to your organization it is be
cause we have no source from
which we can get the news and
very little we can say concerning
the matters which the laboring
class should be familiar with. We
are going to again appeal to all the
unions to elect or appoint one ol
their members to furnish the PRESS
with the news of the meetings, OF
any other Dews they wish to bring
before the public. All that W.
want is a gist of the importan
things that we can publish and b.
a benefit to the trades unions il
the field which this paper covers
The member that you select a
your correspondent does not have
to be a college graduate to give u
this news. All we ask him to do i
to scribble down the importan
happenings in few words as pcs
sible and then seno them in to u
OF telephone them in. That's all
Now all you've to do is select tn
man.

of John Wilson, a farmer living

The man drank a quantity OF

afterwards and medical aid was
summoned from Larned, but il
is doubtful if his life could have
been saved had it not been that
the people at the house forced

WHEAT AVERAGING MORE
THAN rs BUSHELS.

Harvesting is just about COM
pleted in this section and threSh-
ing is well started. We are now
able to gain some idea of the av-
erage yield by figuring from
those who have finished up.
Harley Wolcott got 400 bushels
off a ten-acre patch. A. H. Nor
row averaged 80 ~ Bushels from
the 45 acres just west of town,
though one stack was partly
destroyed by lightning, and Mr..
Morrow estimates a loss of IS
bushels here. Had this been
saved it would have brought the
average up to 80 bushels. His
wheat on the Eikmeier place
west of town averaged q ~ bu-
shells. The Candy boys threshed
a part Of their wheat and this
made 26 "a. ChaS. Aldrich, on
the south side, is reported to have
had 4 acres that yielded more
than 200 bushels, or about 81 per
acre. Jacob ShuSS made an aver
age of 81 ~ bushels.
These are the largest yields re-
ported around Garfield, but gives
some idea of what is to be expect
ed. There are others who have
not received such large returns,
and some volunteer wheat will
not make more than - or IS bu-
shells, but the general belief is
that the average for the county
will be above Is buShelS.-Gar-
field Booster.
