(By Associated Press.)

LONDON. June $3.50 great is the
demand for marmalade here that the
Spanish shippers are still sending
bitter oranges, which are still on the
English market. 1t is, of course, alb
normally late for the fruit, and the
oranges are not good either in quality
or condition. Nevertheless the market
price stands at $3.16 to $3.41 a half
chest, which contains about 80 pounds
of sound fruit. This works out fully
three times the ordinary value for
this class of fruit and there is keen
competition amongst jam makers for
late arrivals of bitter oranges.

Carpenters Make Gains Workers Are Advancing

Racine, Wis.-In a speech on Labor
Legislation, before large crowd of
unionists in this city, Congressman
cooper said:
Sentiment in regard to the work
ingman has changed entirely, as is
evidenced particularly by this clause
in the Clayton law: The labor power
OF a human being is not a commodity
or article of commerce. This senti-
ment will go round the world, the
same as Thomas Jefferson's declara-
ton that all men are created equal
and endowed with certain inalienable
rights This declaration now adorns
the walls of many school rooms in
Europe, and has even spread to Ja-
pam"
The speaker compared present con-
ditions with those of but few years
ago, when men were imprisoned for
striking. At that time they could
obtain no lien on the property they
were working on and in Massachus-
etts there is case on record of man
being imprisoned for a debt of $4.0O
clared the congressman.

MONEY TAINTS PRESS
Wealth Often Influences Press to Detriment Of
the Workers

New Yoork-President Gompers
told delegates to the National
Women's Trade Union league how
the Rockefeller foundation and similar
organizations possessing untold mil
lions are poisoning, the we'll of intelli-
gence and often give workers the
wrong viewpoint on subjects that are
vital to labor. The speaker illustrated
his point by referring to the contro-
versy between the Rockefellers and
Chairman Walsh, of the commission
on industrial relations. He declared
he attended every session of the COM
mission when John D. Rockefeller, ,jr..
was on the stand, and that the stories
given out later by Rockefeller and the
public press that supports him, were
neither fair or honest to Chairman
Walsh. who was described as doing
great work for the cause of labor.
Frank Walsh has no business to
give to the newspapers" said the
unidnist. He has no secret 4und

Should Use Caution

San Francisco-"The unions should
guard against hasty and irrational
moves" warns the editor of "Organiz-
ed Labor" in first page plea to the
trade union movement of this city to
be cautious, in view of statements
from anti-union centers that fight
will be started against San Francis
CO when the exposition closes.
The editor continues:
The real danger to the union labor
movement of San Francisco and Cal
ifornia is the agent provocateur-that
is. the hired detectives and sleuths
which the manufacturers send into the
organization for the sole purpose OF
promoting and starting trouble.
There is hardly union in Cali
fornia. or in any great industrial cen
ter of the country, which has not its
quota of these dangerous pests, who
either insanely or hypocritically mask
under the cloak of unionism.

by reason of this false and misleading
information. have personally heard
many good men criticise the splendid
work of Mr.. Walsh in the interest of
the workers because they have been
misinformed as to the facts" said
President Gompers.
The speaker referred to the Clay
ton law as the Declaration of Indus
trial Independence. and said this act
would undoubtedly be attacked by the
forces that are poisoning the wells of
intelligence by conveying misinform-
alton to the people through the me-
dunn of the press"
President Gompers urged the dele
gates to make trade unionism their
life's paramount issue, and not permit
themselves TO let other issues over
shadow the one great question of or
ganization, that workers may regu-
late their lives, may have voice in
regulating wages, hours and condi-
tions. This, the speaker insisted, was
of prime importance, all other ques-
tions being secondary.

A. Foil. Exhibit Good Carpenters Take Notice

San Francisco-The A. F. of L. has
one of the most attractive exhibits
at the Panama-Pacifc exposition,
writes Frederick w. Ely, in the Even
ing Bulletin. He says:
Taken as a whole, the exhibit is
one of which the organized workers
may justly feel proud. 1t is attract
ing the attention of thousands of visi-
tors daily, many of whom are evident
ly seeking to know more about the
principles, the aims and objects of the
trade union movement. Many of these
visitors are, apparently, from the lei
sure class. They ask all sorts of ques-
tions concerning the labor movement
and frequently express sympathy and
friendship for the workers and their
cAuse. They go away armed with
labor literature.
"The exhibit should. and doubtless
will, arouse much interest in the
doings of organized labor.
Through its exhibit at the exposi-
ton the American Federation of La
Dor is doing a work that will surely
be productive of results that will be
helpful to the workers in their strug-
gle for justice and liberty"

Women UniOnists Meet


New York-At mass meeting that
preceded the convention of the Ma
tional Women's Trade Union League.
President Gompers said the philoso-
phv of trade unionism includes a pro-
test against every wrong and estab-
fishes demand for every right. 1t
gives an affirmative answer to the
question asked for ages. "Am | my
brothers keeper?" In referring to the
various interpretations placed on the
labor movement, the unionist said:
"Some say it is revolutionary.
think the best Interpretation is that
labor is normal, natural and rational
evolution, growing year by year to-
ward the ideal for which we are striv-
ing"
Henry Bruere, city chamberlain
said democracy cannot progress by
acts of benevolence, and that workers
themselves must remove all industrial
injustices.
In her biennial address to the con-
vention, Mrs. Raymond Robins, ma
tional president, said organization was
necessary to teach girls of IA, re
ce.ving five cents an hour. and women
working for So week, the true value
of their labor power. Today, she said
the pay working girls receive, depend
on the employer and not on worth
or production.

Philadelphia-Tn dismissing. the suit
of a private detective, Judge Mac
Nellie, in municipal court, scored the
practice of private detectives in seek
ing to prove charges of wrongdoing
against innocent persons.
This detective" said the court,
appears to have advised this business
house that he was in possession of
evidence to prove an employe thief.
whereupon contract was entered
into, using the words will pay $500
if employe is proved to be thief
1T appears that, contrary to what
the detective said, he did not have
the evidence. He then set about to
prove the man a thief. This would
give rise to all sorts of dangerous
consequences, not only to unfortu-
nate employees, but to employers as
well, who might easily become in
volved as a result, of the detective's
work. This is a practice that is going
on entirely too much, and must be
broken up"

New Brunswick, N. 1.-THE nine
deputies convicted of manslaughter in
connection with the killing of two
strikers and the injuring of lo others

Printers Would Settle

Sioux City, Iowa.-The Typographi-
cal union has voted to submit wage
differences with employers to arbi-
tration, because of the latter's refusal
to grant the unions demands. AS a
compromise the workers were asked
to accept a reduction of 81 a week,
which would be regained at the rate of
rs cents year in longtime contract,
which provided for later increases. As
this would take several years to re-es-
tablish the present rate, the printers
declined.

Mine Deputies Sentenced Labor Bills Arel Signed

Sacramento, Gala bill signed by
Gov. Johnson, empowers deputies un-
der the state labor commission to
make arrests for violation of labor
laws. Formerly the deputies did not
possess this power.
Another bill signed requires employ
ers to furnish pure drinking water to
employees free of cost.
One of the grievances of the em-
pldyers in the burst hophelds, in
which the Wheatland riots occurred,
was that they were not furnished
drinking water while nicking the crop.
The right of labor unions to the ex-
elusive use of their labels is safe
guarded in another measure which the
governor has approved.

funding of the sum underpaid."

such conditions.

Sly Dig at the Courts

Adelaide, South Australia.-The

"The Clerks association had law
court at work. This was apparently

wages board formed in connections
with the industry"
This sly dig at wages-by-law refers
to the manner in which the industrial
court has set aside decisions agreed
to by boards representing various in
dustries.
