WORLD or LABOR

The Street Carmens Union of
Cleveland, Ohio, has raised wages
tive cents an hour, compromising
on their original demand of five
cents.
The Supreme Court Of Pennsyl
vania, has sustained Schuykill
county courts verdict of So, 1875 to
George Case, a carpenter, against
the Lehigh Coal and Navigation
Company. The plaintiff arm was
crushed by heavy timber falling
on it, due to the breaking of a
chain. The decision is important,
because it tests a law making
company liable in case of injury
through defective tools.
The long agitation against con-
vict labor in the St. Paul, (Minn. }
city prison broom making plant is
bearing fruit. Commissioner Soss
has assured delegation of union
lists he opposes the plan, and if he
Is supported by the city council 1t
will be discontinued. Nothing de-
finite can be done until the first of
the year when council will com
plete new budget. In the mean
time, agitation will be continued.
