stoppage of work, so ardently ia
vored in some quarters as an anti
war remedy.
The Industrial Banner is the Off
cial paper of the Trades and Labor
Council. 1t says:
''It is all right for well-irten-
toned people to delude themselves
with such impracticable hobbies
that never will be realized, for
newspapers must be filled, you
know.
"The day will assurdly come,
however, when the workers of the
world will be in position through
more thorough organization and a
growing solidity of internationalism
to refuse to serve, and thus make
it impossible for autocratic rulers
to wage wars of aggression in the
future
Eve believe the present deluge
in Europe will pave the way for a
universal world of peace when the
already rising democracy will as
sert itself and insist in a manner
that will stand for no evasion or
denial that the voice of the people,
the great working class, shall be
heard and exercise the power that
its numbers entitle 1t to. Then
there will be no further need oil
war, for the common people will
be all-powerful and make their in
fluence felt in no unmistakable
manner.
But that time is not here OIL
now Posterity is facing no theory
at the present moment, but stern
reality, and whether we like it OF
not, we have got to accept the in
evitable, DO matter how keenly we
may deplore the fact,
With labor organized and the
ballot in the hands of the women
of the nations, war in the future
will be clear impossibility.
Unfortunately, however, labor
is not organized as effectively as it
might be, and except in few iso-
lated cases the women of the world
are yet to be enfranchised and con-
ceded the right to the ballot.
But those things will all come
as assurdly as that night follows
day"

The presence Of stubborn and unruly
mine mules in the Nottingham mine of
the Lehigh and Wilkesbarre Coal com
pany was responsible for a strike of
1900 employees. The company issued
an order directing the men to enter and
leave the Ross vein through the main
gangway instead Of by outlets and
crosscuts. The miners objected to the
order because they We're forced to car

Ohio State Federation OF
LabOr'S Letter.
To the Central Bodies and Labor
Press of the State.

To the Central Bodies and Labor
Press of the State.
T he legislative week which
closed Thursday, April 29th, wit
messed the efforts on the part of
those opposed to progressive labor
legislation to force upon labor the
Archer bill. enlarging the powers
of the Industrial Commission. The
Legislative Agent of the Ohio State
Federation of Labor has worked
strenuously to bring about its de-
feat.
Notwithstanding the fact that
the Womens Eight Hour bill, One
Days Rest in Seven and other la
Dor bills on the House calendar
since March 18th and at the head
of the calendar for the past ten
days, the Archer bill was reported
out and placed upon the special
calendar for passage.
Representatives Cromley. Flem-
ing ard Jackson worked and voted
for this bill in opposition to the
protest of organized labor of the
State. Representatives Hulswitt,
Young, OFT and Chapman worked
and spoke against the bill. The
splendid fight made by these Rep
resentatives upon the floor of the
Rouse against the bill, is largely
responsible for the bill having been
recommitted to the labor commit
tee.
Another bill to repeal the non
partisan judiciary law has been in
troduced by Representative Jack
son. A bill of similar character
was denounced by the Federation
and we were cessful in securing
its indefinite postponement. Every
effort should be made to secure the
votes of your Representatives
against this inquitous measure.
A vote on the question of recon
sidering the Gallagher bill has beer
held ia abeyance, awaiting resul
of the conference between the Goa
operators and representatives o.
the Miners at Cleveland. Ohio.
Senator Kennedy's Women
Eight Hour bill was recommittec
to the labor committee of tht
Senate by strict party vote OF
roll call and new bill introduced
by Senator Vorhies providing for |
nine hour day and fifty hours pc
week for women workers in work
shops, factories and millinery anC
dressmaking establishments. Thit
bill leaves the hours of labor fo
women workers in other industrie
as they now are under the 6fty-fou1
hour law. Indications now art
that this bill will pass the Senate.
Adjournment of the Legislature
has been promised at the end o
next week.
