Mr.. A. L. GARFoRD, President
of the Cleveland Automatic Ma
chine Company, of Cleveland, Ohio
last Tuesday granted the machin-
lists in that plant the eight-hour
day with no reduction in wages.
Mr.. Garford mounted a platform
In front of nine hundred of his men

wen the strike and that the com
pany decided to submit to their de-
msnds. He told his men that they
were justly entitled to division of
the profits that were being made
by the factories who were turning

thing for his employees and he will
never regret 1t. Now down here

chine shops that are turning on
war material and perhaps all of
them are much larger than the
Cleveland Automatic Machine com
pany. If they are larger and en-
ploy more men they are in posi-
ticn to make more profits, hut
somehow the heads of the Hamil-
ton factories never think about the
needs of their men SO long as they
work peacefully and are satisfied
with the wages that the heads are
willing to give vhem. The Hamil-
ton manufacturer always boasts of
having the best mechanics in the
country but he Is very silent on the
wage question, because he knows
thot the Hamilton machinist is the
lowest paid of any In the country.
What we need In Hamilton is a fe "
more Garfords. Are you going

THE factories have been shut
down and practically idle for sever
al years, SO have the men been out
of work and idle for several years.
The manufacturer did not make
the usual amount of dividends that
were distributed among the stock
holders, neither did the men and
women who worked in these facto-
ries declare any dividends in these
same years. Now comes a time
when the factories are turning out
war material to their full capacities
and they are getting their own
price for the goods they manufac-
ture, and if the demand keeps up
they will make millions of dollars
on these contracts. The working
man has been taught that it is
about time he is getting his share
of dividends in the form of wages
and working hours from these large
contracts also. The labor unions
are asking a division of these large
profits from the factories. Some
of the factories have submitted to
the labor unions and have given
the men what they have asked
On the other hand some manufac-
turers who are inclined to hog ev-
erything have point blank refused
to give anything to their employees.
Committees who try to meet the
heads of these large factories are
turned down as though they were
dubs, and are given no hearing so
that they may present their agree
ments for consideration. The large
manufacturer who thinks that he
is going to duck the eight hour
movement and the demand for bet
ter wages is going to be badly fool
ed. This division of large divi-
dends is not going to be one
sided game as it has been in past
years. The time has come when
union men are going to sell eight
hours of their time to the manu-
facturer for so much money and
that time is now. Get ready, Mr..

For days they were constantly on
the go, attending meetings and
conferences with committees of
strikers. In response to an urgent
appeal from New Haven. they e1-

EastIand Was Mismanaged.

Chicago, Oct. 8-"The Eastland
tipped over because of impro per
ballast and improper management.
There is no mystery about the ac-
cident, which simply shows up the
typical American careless and ire
sponsible methods, also the typical
American disregard of technical
analysis and reliance on the motto
on the silver dollar, In God we
trust I"
The above statements were made
by Andrew Allen, mining en-
gineer, in an address before the
Engineers club last week. The
speaker was also member of the
state grand jury. He redicrled the
theory that piling in the river
caused the ship to turn over and
cause the death of 812 excursion.
lists last July. He declared that
"the piling would have sunk into
the mud or oented the bottom.
The mining engineer said the
boat should not have been per
mitted to carry more than /, 700 or
300 persons, if nine square feet
for each passenger was allowed.
This rule was ignored and the boat
was allowed to carry 2 500.
"There were 2 412 tickets turned
in by the Transportation company"
said the speaker. "Out of 500
tickets examined we found 152
coupons held by passengers who
were not on the Eastland, for which
there were no tickets turned in.
This would suggest that many
tickets had been destroyed, and
that there must have been 25 to &c
per cent more passengers on the
boat than reported.
ION the morning of the accident
the ballast tanks were pumped dry.
When the boat listed to starboard
they starteo to fill the port tanks
When 1t began to list to port, they
began to pump out the port tank:
instead of filing the starbosrd tanks
too; In fact, this was attempted on.
ly at the last moment. The ballast
tanks were, therefore, only par
TALLY filled and the water could
surge with every movement of the
boat. The instability was d .ubt
less increased instead of decreased
thereby. The single ballast tank
system Is very defective and wher
the boat began to get away from
the crew they had no means oil
righting it.
There is Eo mystery about the
accident. 1t Is thing that might
have happened, and almost die
happen many times before. 1t is 9
thing that is Lound to happen
sooner or later in a boat operated
as was the Eastland.

MachiniStS Win
In Cleveland

The strike of munition workers
at the plant of the Cleveland Au-
tomato Machine company of Cleve-
land came to an abrupt end here
late Tuesday when A. l.. Garford
formerely a leading figure in the
Progressive movement and now
President of the company, led a
crowd of 900 strikers In cheering
on his announcement that a wage
increase and an eig ht hour day de
mand had been conceded, and that
they had won the fight.
Garford climed on a platform
outside the plant and faced the big
crowd. The workers short time
before, at a special meeting, had
voted in favor of accepting the offer
of the company granting all their
demands except one pertaining to
the open shop system.
Lets Cheer Again, Boys"
m glad that the differences
between you boys and the company
have been adjusted" The crowd
cheered.
Hoo rayr' Let's cheer again,
boys" yelled the capitalist as he
swung his hat in the air. Il fell
like cheering myself.
The men were stirred by this
probably unprecedented situation
of 900 men being led in a cheer of
victory by the man representing
the defeated company. When the
tumult had subsided Garford gave
a little talk
I'm for industrial peace" he
said. We've got all the war we
can take care of on the other side
Of the water.
I'm glad this trouble is ended.
l want to say in behalf of the COM
pany and myself that this strike
will not leave any sore spots. We
are not built that way. You boys
did what you thought best in ask
ing for share of profits ACQUIRING
from unusual business conditions.
That wss proper, for l concede the
right of every man to do his own
think ing and acting"
Fights Way To Automobile,
Gafford fairly had to fight his
way through the crowd to his auto
mobile to escape the ovation which
followed.
The demonstration followed short
talks by John Luthringer, National
Organizer of the Machinists' I'm
Union, and w. S. Jack, Business
Agent, announcing officially the
ending of the strike.
The strikers will 60 back to work
under the following conditions:
Reinstatement of Is dismissed
employees.
An open shop but no discrimin-
alton against union men.
An eight-hour day under these
equivalent conditions: Permitting
employees to quit after eight hours
without jeopardizing their places,
or to continue work for a ninth
hour at wages of time and one half,
or to continue also to work for q
tenth hour at wages of time and
three quarters.
