CARPENTERS LOCKED our

Springfield, ILL.,, Feb. 21.-Carpen.
tiers employed at the Power Planning
mill were laid off last week and no
titled that if they desired to return
they must agree to work under non
union conditions, which the manage.
ment terms the "open shop" This &C
ton was expected by the Carpenters,
and as result the mill is now at
tempting to secure strike-breakers.
The unionists blame non-union con
tractors for existing conditions, and
say the mill managers are forced into
this policy by the opposition of the
contractors to the Carpenters union.
A strike has been on for some time
and the contractors, it is claimed,
have compelled some of the mills to
break their agreements with the
union.

TO PROBE PERE MARouETrE

Washington, Feb. 25.-Congress-
man Cramton has introduced reso-
luton for an investigation Of the
Pere Marquette Railway system by
the Interstate Commerce Commission.
A strike of federated shop employees
has been on since May %, 1913, be-
cause of low wages. The system is
in the hands of a receiver, and every
effort on the part Of workers to set
tie the trouble has failed. It is
claimed the railroad has become de-
moralized, and the rolling stock and
equipment has reached such a condi-
ton that state officials report more
people have been killed and injured
on this system than on any other
Michigan line during the year 1913.
The workers and sympathizers have
been circulating petitions for an in
vestigation, which is being supported
by all classes of citizens.

siderably below the lowest bids from
private shipbuilders. These con-
tracts mean the opening up of the
Boston and Philadelphia navy yards
for new work. Heretofore these
yards have been devoted to repair
work. The only construction yards
have been at Brooklyn and Mare ISL
