FAVOR LABOR LAW CHANGES.

Newark, N. 1.-THE State Federation
of Labor is urging extensive changes in
the New Jersey compensation law, and
the Union Labor Bulletin says
With wages as low as in New Jer-
sey anything less than 6625 per cent of
wages is inadequate. Employers will
probably fight our efforts to obtain an
adequate scale of compensation. They
fought it in California, Massachusetts,
New York, Ohio and Wisconsin; but
the workers won. Some employers will
become solicitous for our welfare and
oppose such legislation on the ground
that it destroys our independence, dis
courages thrift and gives us an ncen-
tive to feign sickness. Let us ask them
if life on two-thirds of $40 week
would be sufficiently attractive to induce
them to feign sickness? Let us point out
that in Massachusetts no increase in
malingering accompanied the increase
from so per cent to 66B per cent.
Justice permits us to demand, also,
the removal of arbitrary time limita-
tions. Suppose employers limited each
engine to 300 tons of coal. Absurd?
just 300 weeks. What happens to us
them Perhaps they expect lis to save
enough from the $5 weekly compensa-
ton to retire in comfort at the end of
300 weeks. Since but 90 per cent of all
accidents result fatally and but OIL per
cent result in total permanent disability,
is it not somewhat petty to plead econ
omy as the cause for limiting benefits
to 300 weeks? We maintain that it is
Our right, if injured, to have adequate
compensation during disability and that
compensation should be given to depen-
dent widows until death or remarriage,
and to children until they become of
legal working age

CONTROVERSY UNSETTLED
After Meeting Between Master
Painters and LOcked-Out Men.

John NJ. Finan, Chicago, First Cen
eral Nice-Prcsident OF the Brotherhood
OF Painters, Decorators and Paper
Hangers OF America, has returned to
Cincinnati and renewed his efforts to
settle the controversy between the en-
ploying painters and the locked-out Gin
cinnati members OF the Brotherhood.
This controversy has been brought
about by the employment OF GLACIERS
who are not members OF our Brother
hood" said Finan. AT meeting be
tween the Master Painters Committee
locked-out men | offered a proposition
could have settled this lockout within
week ! suggested to John Thcobald,
mittcc, that he arrange to have repre-
sentatives OF Cincinnati glass dealers at
this meeting. When the meeting was
called Theobald announced that the
glass dealers refused to participate.
From information | have received
here there is not a master painter
equipped to handle all the glass work,
and as that appears to be the only OBJ
SldClc III the way Ol Il Sclllclncnl, | pro-
posed the name OF Cincinnati glass
firm that is ready to complete all con-
tracts now under way and take care OF
all contracts in the future. This firm is
willing to carry out the provisions con-
tanned i'll the three-year contract en-
tered into last March between the en-
ployerS and the Brotherhood.
Thomas II. Mugavin, Secretary and
Treasurer OF the Ohio State Building
Trades Council, who has been in con-
ference with Fnan, said that unless an
amicable settlement is soon reached be
tween the master painters and the
loCkcd-out men concerted action would
be taken by the State Building Trades
body in behalf OF the Cincinnati mem
bcrS OF the Brotherhood who are locked
out. 1--WE will reach every part OF the

GOMPERS TO BE QUESTIONED
Before Jury Renews Inquiry Into
MunitiOn Plant Strikes.

New York.-Thc Federal Grand Jury,
which has been inquring into the activi-
ties of Labor's Peace Council, Franz Won
Rinteen and David Lamar, in relation
to strikes at munition plants, will not re-
convene, it was learned to-day, until
Samuel Gompers, President of the Amer
ican Federation of Labor, and other la
Dor leaders have been interviewed by
United States District Attorney H.
Snowden Marshall.
Gompers has not been served with a
subpoena, and the Federal authorities say
that until they obtain statement from
him they cannot name the manufactur
ing plants where strikes are believed to
have been financed by men whose names
are before the jury.
The Government knew little about Won
Rintelen's activities, it was said at the
Federal Building to-day, until he and
Andrew ID. Meloy were held by the Brit
ish authorities at Falmouth, on their
way to Germany. Won Rintelen was
taken to the Tower of London, a pris-
oner, while Meloy was sent back to the
United States.
To save himself from punishment for
his part in obtaining fraudulent Amer
ican passport for Won Rintelen under the
name of Edward A. Gates, Meloy is said
to have told the Federal authorities all
he knew about Won Rntelen. According
to Mcloy, it is asserted, David Lamar ap-
proved the proposal to incte strikes,
but thought more could be accomplished
in the interest of Germany by obtaining
options on the output of munition
plants. Won Rntelen and Meloy, ac
cording to the latter, were on their way
to Germany to seek funds to carry out
Lamar's plan when they were arrested
at Falmouth.

A. F. OF L. AND GOMPERS
ARE PRAISED BY EDITOR

Trinidad, Col.-John NJ. O'Neil, cdi-
tor of the Trinidad Free Press, and for
mer editor of the Miners Magazine, Of
fetal organ Of the Western Federation
of Miners, makes this reply to those who
asSail the trade union movement:
THE American Federation of Labor
is large body, and it is said, that
large bodies move slowly. There are
many who are affiliated with the fed
Grafton who yearn for the organization
to move more rapidly, believing that the
snail-like pace of an organization whose
affiliated bodies number 2,OOO,OOO Of
members will never reach in hundred
years the goal toward which the work
erS OF the nations of the earth are
marching. 1t is better to be slow than
to be too impetuous. Speed is respon-
sible for many wrecks. The man who
surveys every situation through the glass
OF common sense, may move slowly, but
such a man is seldom wrecked on the
breakers.
The man who believes that a desert
can be changed into an oasis over night,
is more Of dreamer than doer but
docrs usher in the realization of the
dreams of the dreamers.
AT different times since the birth of
the American Federation of Labor the
impctuous men of labor. impatient for
the better day, have launched what they
termed labor organizations with an ag-
gressive policy, but history proves that
all these so-called aggressive organiza-
tons. guided by impetuosity and pushed
by impatience have gone down to
wreck and ruin without scarcely leaving
foot prints on the sands of time.
1T is true that Samuel Gompers is
not infallible, 1t is true he may have
made mistakes, but as the servant of the
labor movement OF this continent he has
demonstrated that he has had but one
ambition in life, and that is to give the
best that is in him to bring the worker
closer and closer to the realization of
the dream of the dreamer. GomperS
will die in the harness, fighting for the
liberty of a class that he has represented
for the life of generation, and when
the hour approaches that has in it the
eternal summons, millions OF men and
women will mourn his loss and pay to
him the scriptural tribute: We'll done,
thou good and faithful servant,

Tulsa. Nov. l9.-The trial Of 8. A
Mpnsley, who claims he is a substan-
tiai business man Of sapulpa, were
ironed out in municipal court this
morning with the result that his story
did not hang very we'll together, and
Judge Clark sentenced him TO thlrty
days in the city jail for vagrancy
Munsley is man that can boast
OF considerable criminal record,
having twice been sentenced to the
state penitentiary within the past
three years Both times he was con-
victed of shoplifting diamonds, for
which he seems to have great and
overmastering mania.
The sapu1pa man came to Tulsa,
according to his story, on November
3 TO witness a pugihstic contest. Fol
lowing the battle he strolled out to a
district where the red lights burn ana
visited woman al her solicitation.
But when the husband put in his ap-
pearanco he objected 80 vigorously to
Munsley's presence ID the house that
ne was Obliged 10 take leave into thet
cool night clad only in nightrobe.
lie borrowed enough clothes to en-
able him to return to sapulpa on the
morning train.
Munsley returned to Tulsa Sunday
morning and told police officers HE
troubles and they accompanied him
to the house from which he had been
rejected and secured the clothes The
husband, however told some damag-
ing things on Munsley which resulted
In his arrest on the vagraney. Judge
Clark had already written the word
discharged upon the blotter oppo-
site MUnsley's name when a chance
question fired by the city attorney
concernirs an extra pair of trousers
Munsley had with him on the mem
orable night caused the mans tongue
to slip and resulted in his conviction.
