EMPLOYERS CHANGE
FRONT ON WAGES

New York.-1hc Cloak Suit and
Skirt Manufacturers Protective Asso-
citation has accepted the award of the
board of conciiation, appointed by May
or Mitchell.
The employers reached this decision
after the result of a strike vote of the
garment workers was found to be prac-
tically unanimous in favor of tieing up
this industry if the Manufacturers As
sociation rejected an award that does
not favor them.
Last May the employers abrogated
their agreement with the union. A strike
involving 10000 workers seemed immi-
nent when the employers were induced
to refer the matter to board of con-
cilation. The board not only raised
wages but upset the plans of the employ
ers to disrupt the union by the follow
ing declaration in favor of a joint board
to consider appeals of unjust discharges ::
'No human being is wise enough to
be able to trust his sole judgement in
decisions that affect the welfare of
others; he needs to be protected, and,
if he be truly wise, will welcome pro-
lection against the errors to which he
is liable in common with his kind as
well as against the inspirations of pas
sion or sclfishness. For this reason, a
tribunal of some kind is necessary. in
case either of the parties to this cove
nant believe itself to be unjustly ag
grieved." d"
This unqualified denial of an employ
ers right to run his own business s.
to have the sole right to discharge
workers because of union activity-was
in direct contrast with the manufacture
ers' plan and they began dcvising ways
to reject the award,
The workers answer to this attitude
was a declaration that 10000 unionist'
would strike if the award was not ac
cepted. The will be no strike.

MINERS MAKE GAINS
In MEMBERSHIP WORK

Scranton, Pa.-The organizing cam
paign Of the United Mine Workers un-
ion IL the anthracite districts is being
vigorously waged and large crowds
everywhere greet President White and
his associates to hear the gospel of trade
unionism again defended and explained.
The recent convention of District No. l.,
held in this city, has stimulated inter
est throughout the anthracite section,
because the demands made indicate the
possibilities of 100 per cent organ
ization.
These demands include an eight-hour
day for all men and boys in and around
the mines; general wage advance OF
% per cent; time and one-half for holi-
days, and double time for Sundays, the
aboishment of contract mining and an
increased wage for hremen, carpenters,
blacksmiths and other workers other
than miners.

EVADING THE ISSUE.

Discussing The New York
Worlds exposure OF the German
conspiracy in the United States
the Frankfurter Ieitung says:
That we are trying to pur-
chase abroad what we may
need during the war and for
the war, and what otherwise
would presumably fall into
the hand, OF our enemies, is
so obvious that disclosures
along this line are simply
comical. The United States
has declared officially and cx-
pressly that it lies in the ma
ture OF its neutrality to sell
arms and ammunition to us
as well as to our enemies.
The Worlds disclosures, so far

BUY UNION COAL.

The time is drawing near when
you must lay i'll your winters sup
ply of coal. No matter who your
dealer has been, if you are a union
man YOU should give the Queen
City Coal Company a trial The
Queen City has demonstrated that
it is a friend of union labor. Its
coal is all union mined, and the
company never has hesitated to
give its assistance to any union
cause. Look up the Queen City
Coal Company and have a talk
with it before placing your fall
order.

LYNCHING THE HONOR OF
A STATE.

On Sunday Leo Frank left
the Milledgeville prison hospital
cured OF the wound inflicted by
the negro convict Green. On
Monday a band OF Mary Phagan's
Marietta neighbors dashed more
than 100 miles across the State,
dragged Frank from his cell and
returned to Marietta, where they
hanged him in broad daylight.
Public neglect or collusion fav
ored the deed at every step. There
was no opposition. The Marietta
chief OF police knew nothing after
ward of crime his neighbors
knew all about beforehand. In
more than 200 miles of open road
no one questioned the lynchers'
procession. Atlanta does not
know whether the party avoided
the city or passed through. In
Milledgeville, though there had
been warning enough, nothing
was done by thirty armed men,
behind walls that would have
stood a siege, to defend their
charge.
Night veiled Georgia's contempt
OF law. Day lighted its odd ideas
OF decency. When the body was
"found"-s;herif and Coroner be-
ing conveniently absent-it re-
mained hanging while Georgia
parents lifted little children up to
gaze over the heads Of the throng
at spectacle they can never for
get, festival of glutted venge-
ance behtting savage tribe.
Pieces of its garments were cut
off for souvenirs" AS fitting
final touch, the corpse was stamp
ed upon by blood-mad rufiians.
The mob did not take the law
into their own hands They
trampled on the law. They lynch
ed the honor of a State. In the
dark prospect that faces the State
there is one CLEAN of light. 1t i,
the declaration of the gallant cx
Governor Slaton that every MAJ
concerned III IAN act contrary tC
the civilization of Georgia shoul,
be hanged, for he is an assassin.
1t is the pledge of Governor Har
ris to use all his power to "se
to it that the members of this mol
receive fitting punishment"
This is the word for future ac
ton. The aw-abiding men O
Georgia may be expected to dis
avow, to denouncc, to condem
this crime against their State. Blu
the only disavowal that will carr
weight with the Nation will b
the punishment OF the men wh
murdered Leo Frank.

munitions OF war IN the United
States by German agents, would
indeed be simply comical" except
for one fact. While the German
Government has been making
these purchases on its own ac-
count it has financed political
campaign against the Government
of the United States to compel it
to violate neutrality and make it
self German ally by laying an
embargo against the shipment of
arms to countries with which Ger
many is at war.
Because the President has held to
the interests Of the United States
and to the law of nations in re-
spect to the sale of munitions of
war, the German Government has
set its subsidized newspapers and
its subsidized agitators to attack
him and menace him with political
destruction. American citizens
have been arrayed into two hostile
camps by the agency Of this Ger
man intrigue. The United States
has even been threatened with
civil war if it refused to accept
the limitations which Germany
purposed to establish upon its
rights not only upon the high seas
but upon American soil
No fault can be found with Ger
man purchases of munitions of
war in this country. No fault can
be found with the secret methods
used by German agents to cvade
the British blockade. Such activ-
tiles involve no violation of nett
trality. On the contrary, they are
in accord with the American inter
probation of neutrality and with
the historic practices of the United
States.
The indictment against Ger
many lies in corrupt and sedit-
ious propaganda directed against
the peace and welfare of the
United States and supported by
hypocrisy and falsehood. In view
of the German purchases of mill
tary supplies, the German cam
paign for an embargo on NUM-
tions of war is probably the most
impudent and shameless piece of
mendacity of which a great ma
tion was ever officially guilty,
The American people do not
care whether Germany buys arms
here or not. The market is open
and Germany has the same rights
as any other belligerent so far as
this Government is concerned.
But the American people care a
great deal whether a pretended
friendly Government is mcddling
with the domestic affairs of the
United States, whether it is con
spring against the President
whether it is debauching public
opinion, buying strikes and indus
trial turmoil, melting seditior
against the Government and or
ganizlng treason.
Because certain SerbianS car,
ricd on a hostile propagand;
against the Austrian Government
Germany regarded their activi
ties as a sufficient excuse TO
plunging The world into the mos
terrible war known to human his
tory, VIII the Frankfurter lei
tung or any other spokesman 70
= the German Government tell Il
l whether the German propagand
is less inimical to the interests O
the United States than was tn
Serbian propaganda to the inter
} estS of Austria? If Germany re
CARDS foreign intrigue against
friendly nation as a legitimat
cause for war, what must it thin
OF its own intrigue against tn
United States?

CHURCHES JOIN WITH UNIONS
IN LAWSON PROTEST

Whereas, The government and
courts of southern Colorado have
for years been so dominated by the
coal companies as to create sus-
piciOn of their impartiality i'm adj
ministration and their fairness to
coal miners; and
Whereas, The whole course and
conduct of the trial of John II. Law
son have been such as to discredit
the verdict; and
Whereas, Mine guards in the en-
plOy of the coal companies and MEM
bcrs of the State militia have COM
mitted many acts of lawlcssness and
violence; therefore, be it
Resolved, That we denOunce the
coal companies for their hagrant

to account.
Phladelphia-The Federal Council of
the Churches. of Christ in America
joined with organized labor in a Lawson
protest meeting in this city, last Sunday
evening, and passed the resolutions
stated above.
The meeting was most significant be-
cause of the churchmen's uncomproms-
ing opposition to methods employed at
the Lawson trial and other Colorado out
RACES. They stood squarely with the
trade-union movement on these queS-
tions, and further agreed with the or
ganized workers that coal company
domination of government and courts
in various sections of Colorado and the
operators lawessness must cease.
The speakers included Rev. Samuel
l.. Batten and Clifford Pinchot, members
of the Committee on Direction OF the
Federal Council OF the Churches OF
Christ in America President Gompers
and Secretary Frank Morrison, of the
\. +. of L., and General secretary WI
liam Green OF the United Mine workers
OF America. PRESIDENT keenan' OF the
Central Labor Un1on acted as chairhah
and Rev. Batten presented the resolu-
tions.
The position of the churche affiliated
to the Federal Council was indicated by
