Lumber Mills And Unions.

San Francisco, March, 27.-The
Star of this city comments as fol
lows on the attempt of Everett,
Wash. lumber mill magnates to
destroy the Timber Workers Un-
ion: The union of lumber mill
owners at Everett, Wash. has de-
clared war on the union of lumber
mill employees. Seven of the larg-
est lumber mills in Everett, oper-
ating under an agreement, shut
down last week and reopened this
week under new conditions affect
ing their employees, the new condi
tions being that all union officers,
organizers walking delegates and
men wearing union buttons are
barred from the premises of the
mills. The Mill Owners Union an
nounces that it does not discrimin-
ate against any employe because he
belongs to union, but it reserves
the right to refuse to employ any
worker who has taken an active
part in organizing a union. These
men are merely making trouble for
thempelves aed for the country.
They are free to combine against
the workingmen's unions, but deny
the riget of workingmen to combine
in unions for their own protection.
To be consistent, they should use a
powder house as smoking room.

Wids-Awake UnioniSts.

Kansas City, Mo March 81
Extensive plans have been perfected
by trade unionists in this city to
make their labor forward move
ment success. The committee of
seven appointed by the central body
first called a meeting of unionists,
when the campaign was launched,
after interesting every Kansas City
organized worker. Financial sup
port will come from voluntary SUBJ
scriptions of locals and a canvass
ing force of at least l, 900 men will
spread the gospel of trade unionism
in the homes of every unorganized
wageworker. A captain will be
put in charge OF the work in each
ward and lieutelants in every pre-
cinct. Literature in an unstinted
amount will be distributed and
meetings will be held in every vot-
ing precinct in the city. Many in
ternational officers and organizers
will assist in the work, which has
already borne fruit in the case of
Retail Clerks, who are perfecting
a local of their own.

Steam Filters In Line.

New York, March Steam
filters of this city have voted to
amalgamate with the United Asso-
citation of Plumbers and Steam Fit
ters and a committee has been ap-
pointed to complete arrangements.
This marks another advance in the
movement of the A. F. of L. for
one union in the pipe fitting in
dustry, which the Atlanta con~en-
ton, in, 1911, declared was neces
sary to further the interests of
the workers in this calling. At the
following convention in Rochester
further action was taken, and since
that time the A. F. of L. officials
have been aiding the United Asso-
citation in carrying out the man
dates of the trade union movement.
Patience and time are vindicating
the correctness of this decision, and

city will 60 long ways toward

dustry'' a fact.

Carson, City, New, March. 27.
The dire predictions regarding the
educational test for miners in this
state, which took effect the first of
the year, have not been fulfilled.
This law provides that all under.
ground workers and surface mine
worke must be able to speak the
English language intelligently. and
was urged by the state mine in
specter and the miuers' unions.
The act makes it impossible to en-
ploy any one who cannot clearly
speak and readily understand the
English language, or who cannot
readily read and understand any
sign, notice or list of rules or di
rections printed in the English
language in regard to rules of safety
in said underground mine, or in
the handling of explosives.

tanned THE PIANO.
An Unmusical Variation In One of
Gottschaik's Concerts.

An Unmusical Variation In One of
Gottschaiks Concerts.
Gottschalk, the pianist, was noted for
his enormous physical strength almost
as much as for his brilliance as a plan
ist. On one occasion he gave n prac-
tical illustration of his strength which,
while it did not display his disposition
In the most amiable light, undoubtedly
afforded him much satisfaction.
He was In concert playing on piano
that was built on new model. one OF
the peculiarities of which was that the
lip of the keyboard cover projected
farther over the keys than in most
pianos when the instrument. was open
for playing. Gottschalk, who was ac-
customed to throw up his hands to
considerable height during the per
formance of brilliant passages and was
unused to this new form of keyboard,
constantly hit his knuckles against the
projecting lip.
This repeated rapping of his knuck-
les at last began to have an irritating
effect on him, as the audience could
plainly see Suddenly after a particu-
larly hard rap he stopped short In the
middle of his selection, wrenched the
offending cover out Of the instrument
by main force and hurled it across the
platform with great violence. Then,
with smile of the greatest satisfac-
tion, he reseated himself at the piano
and continued his playing. - Chicago

New York, March 27.-A gen.
eral strike of the Children's Dress
makers union, involving about
Is, 900 workers, has been averted
as the result of conferences between
trade union representatives and the
association of interested employers.
The workers charged that the en-
ployers had violated their agree
ment. The latter agreed to COM
ply with the terms of the protocol,
and also agreed to cooperate with
the union in bringing about proto-
col conditions in the non association
shops, which number about one
third of the total in this city. 1t
is said the union will force strikes
in those establishments that refuse
to place themselves on the same
competitive basis, as regards labor
cost and working conditions. Both
parties to the conference agreed
that they would confer with an ex-
pert on industrial relations and dis
cuss questions that may arise in
the future. Matters upon which
they fail to agree are to be referred
to the Board of arbitration appoint
ed under the protocol.

Act Reduces Cripples.

Canal Dsver, Ohio, March 81
Predicting the day when factory
cripples and industrial tragedies
will be reduced to minimum,
Gov. Cox, in an address in this city
explained how the new compensa-
tion act is stopping waste in human
life. The speaker said surprising
number of manufacturing concerns
have been driven out of business
by damage suits, which have re-
suited in no compensation to the
workman who procured the verdict
because the companies have not
been worth very much when they
ceased to be going concerns. The
state executive also said: ut is
quite generally understood that the
premium assessed against the man
ufacturer is bassed entirely upon
the number of accidents in the in
dustry as classified. Reductions
of premiums have already been
made to those employers who have
by the installation of safety DEVICES
and more careful superintendent
of their work, shown marked de-
crease in the number of accidents
The state attorney general has
ruled that seamen on lake and river
passenger boats and freighters, if
hired by Ohio companies, come un-
der the provisions of the compensa-
act, and mast be awarded benefits
from the state fund in case OF acci-
dent.

New Parcel Post Rules.

Washington, March, 27.-Under
new rule by Postmaster General
Burleson, butter. eggs. fruits, ber-
ries, vegetables, dressed poultry
and ether articles in parcels weigh
ing over twenty pounds and up to
fifty pounds for shipment within
the first and second zones approx
mately $50 miles can now be packed
in boxes and crates similar to those
generally used when shipping by
express. 1t is intended to handle
these boxes outside of mail bags.
The new rule will prove boon TO
farmers and truckers in getting
their products to the city at
smaller expense.
Another important departure has
been made by an order which will
permit the attaching of letter to
a parcel post package when both
bear respective rates of pastage and
are addressed to the same individ-
ual. The letter or communication
must not be enclosed in the package
but it must be tied or otherwise Sc
curely fastened to the outside in
such a manner as TO prevent its
separation from the package. The
new order is expected to enlarge
the parcel post service The send
ing of communication with a par
eel post package heretofore has
not been permissible.

Washington, March, 27. The
proposal of Representative Under
wood to impose prohibitive tax
on premium coupons given away
with tobacco and cigarettes has
been warmly discussed before the
House Ways and Means Committee
by representatives of the United
Cigar Stores company, independent
tobacco manufacturers and trade
union officials. The independents
urge the legislation on the ground
that the coupons are destroying
their business without benefting
the consumer. The United compa
ny declared their coupon system
stimulates the tobacco business and
increases the governments reven-
tie.

BOAT TRIPS

Why, even last Sunday, when it
felt like the Arctics along the Ohio
River, hundreds focked to the IS
land Queen and the Princess to en-
JOY the opening day of the river
excursion season But the cold
mattered not az all after one was
on board, for the steam heat made
the dancing cabins as cozy as the
parlor at home. The boats will
change the schedule for next Sun
day, the Queen making two round
trips to Lawrenceburg and Aurora,
leaving the Broadway wharfboat at
$3.50 in the morning and at $3.50 in
the afternoon.
The Princess will make three
cruises to the Fernbank Dam leav-
ing at 1000 a. m; 200 and 4:30 p.
m. Then, TO make it a regular
day work, the Princess will take
out the moonlight dancers at 800
p. NJ. On this trip, as well as on
the others, the musicians will ren-
der the newest Tango and Hesita-
ton melody, and all new dances
that alyone knows how to dance
will be played upon request.

go back to work and many out
siders will also secure a job here.
