senting Baltimore and Philadelphia To-
Gals held in the latter city October IL,

held at Baltimore on January s. 1866,
when equalization of wages was first
considered.

The first real convention of the or

therchy abundantly demonstrating the
wisdom of inaugurating the mortuary
system.
The pension system was adopted at
the Houston. Texas. convention in 1914
and vent into effect January l, 1915.
At the end of the first six months after
its ueeption nearly nine hundred Of
their aged and disabled brothers were
PLACED ON the pension roll, receiving a
weekly pension of 50. These pensioners
will have received 1894 900 at the end
OF the first year in which the system
has heen in operation.
Has No Strike Assessments.
The l. U. has the distinction of being
the only International labor union in the
country that has not levied an assess,
ment for strike purposes in the last fif-
teen years. This does not mean that
they have had no strikes during that
time, A number of subordinate unions
have had trouble and all or a part Of
their members have ceased work at diff
fcrent times. Benefits were paid to
these members from the general fund,
but The amounts paid for this purpose
do not total what many another labor
union has expended for strike purposes
in single season.
Since 1901 the I. U. has maintained
arbitration agreements with contract
ural firms that have practically elm.
mated strikes, and insured amicable re-
lations between employer and employc
in this great industry.

neither side take any steps to precipi-
tate n conflict until il had cndeavorcd
to adjust the dispute.
Permit us to point out another mat

law in Colorado. DO not permanently
take away the right to strixc or lock-

other thing which the inion may de iT,,

nor the employe can permanently lose
any right which he had before n, law
was passed. since the moment tn. Com
mission makes its awarl. either sid,,
can do as il pleascs.
Therefore. the Commission cannot in-
wade the rights of any labor union or
OF any employer OF labor since the law
can only temporarily suspend their ac-
tion in any matter. We may add that
there is doubt il the Commission has
the power to prohibit the removal of Il
union shop card. and we repeat that the
Commission never exercised any such
power.

But we believe that in SO far as the
law clearly defines certain powers which
the Commission has. namely, to suspend
strikes and lockouts pending investiga-
tion of the dispute, that labor Will well
come such law for three reasons;
i. "ll Because the law compels en-
ployers and employees to come together in

of asccrtaining every fact in any indus

"t3l 1t provides a waiting period in
which both sides have chance to cool

THE Industrial Commission of Colo
RADIO is ambitious to fairly administer
these provisions OF the law and to deal
so impattially with both sides in in

ciliation and peace rather than bitter.

real garden or experimental farm, with trees and
plants grouped artistically."
The schoolhouse, according to the bulletin,
should be as nearly fireproof as possible. Doors
should open outward. A small room for consul
tations and emergency purposes, and one for
workshop, instruction in cooking and preparing
refreshments, should be provided.
In the matter of ventilation and heating, the
bulletin gives specific suggestions. Fresh air
should be provided through window board venti-
lators except where the furnace or jacketed stove
is used in which case adequate inlets and outlets
should be provided. Every school should have a
thermometer and temperature in cold weather
should be between &C and GO degrees. es.~
Light should be abundant. "The best ar
rangement," says the bulletin, "is to have the
light come only from the left side of the pupil and
from the long wall of the classroom. The school
room should receive direct sunlight sometime
during the day, but the main windows should
not face directly south. East or west facing is
desirable. In providing shades for windows,
dark should be used at the top of windows
to control light on bright days.
The common drinking cup should not be tol-
Grated. Care should be taken that drinking
water always from safe source; drink
ing fountains, located just inside outside the
schoolhouse, with sufficient pressure for running
water, should be provided. That water for
utilized always after using the toilet and before
eating seems little enough to ask, but many
schools are found to be lacking in this respect"
