New York.-The Ladies Garment
Worker, official magazine OF the Inter
national Ladies Garment Workers un-
ion, makes this comment on the recent
acquittal of eight of its members, who
were indicted in this city on various
charges on the evidence of "gangsters =
in the ordeal our union is passing
through this year, the American labor
movement has been with us throughout.
The American Federation OF Labor,
through its president, Samuel Gompers,
has rendered us invaluable support in the
recent dispute with the employers, i'll
volving $4,000 workers, and has shown
profound sympathy to our organization
in the court prosecution OF our eight
officers and members. We wish in these
columns to express Our gratitude to the
national, international and local unions
who have responded to our appeal for
moral and financial assistance. They
have shown that fraternity and solidar-
ity without which trade unionism would
be meaningless words

THE NEW BRIDGE
For Cincinnati Southern Railroad
VIII Not BE Started Until 1917.

we have not seen the plans for the
new Cincinnati Southern railway bridge
at this point, and beyond general details,
know nothing about the new bridge or
just when work of construction will be-
gin. The operating company has enter
ed into contract with the city whereby
latter will issue bonds for the cost of
construction, such issue to be guaran-
teed, both as to principal and interest
by the operating company but these
sold. Under these conditions it will
be impossible to say when the work of
construction will be commenced"
Secretary Ferguson, of the Board of
Trustees of the Cincinnati Southern
Railway, made the above statement yes
terday in reply to question as to when
the work of construction on the new
$2,5OO,O0O bridge between Cincinnati and
Ludlow will be begun Continuing. Mr..
Ferguson stated the bridge will be of
the latest possible design and planned
to carry the heaviest loads which may
be imposed by modern transportation.
There will be two tracks and a roadway
for the accommodation of vehicles, but
no provision has been made for street
cars.
When seen Mr.. Ferguson was writing
a letter of congratulation to Andrew
Carnegie on his eightieth birthday and
recalled the fact that it was the Key
stone Bridge Co. which erected the pres
ent bridge away back in the seventies.
Mr.. Carnegie, who was then the head of
the Keystone Bridge Company, always
took great interest in this structure
and spoke of it as my mothers bridge"
Mr.. Ferguson, while not caring to
commit himself, evidently feels that the
snow will fly along towards the close
of 1916 before work on the new bridge
is started

CHILDREN'S LAWS OF 1915.

Washing Forty-fve State and
territorial legislatures and the congress
OF the United States in 1915 passed laws
affecting children, according to the chill
dren's bureau of the United States de-
partment OF labor, which has just COM
pleted its survey OF such legislation dur
ing the current year Special reference
is made to the impressive bulk OF chill
dren's laws and the number OF COM
missions appointed to study and pre-
pare for future legislation.
A few OF the forty-hve States made
notable advances. Alabama, for eX-
ample, whose legislature meets only
once in four years, enacted a new child
labor law, compulsory school attend
ance law, an excellent desertion and
non-support law and Statewide juve-
nile court law. Florida remodeled its
treatment of juvenile delinquents, re-
cognized the principle OF compulsory
school attendance, passed the model
vital statistics law, and appointed two
of the State commissions already re-
ferred to. Kansas established an in
dustrial commission to regulate hours,
wages and conditions OF work for wOm-
EN- and minors, and division OF child
hygiene in the State board OF health
it also enacted playground law and a
mothers pension law. New Jersey and
Wyoming passed comprehensive acts
relating to the care OF dependent chill
dren, and Pennsylvania carefully drafted
laws relating to child labor and voca-
tional education.

WHY NEW YORK VOTED mo"

St. Louis, Mo. - William Marion
Reedy, in Reedy's Mirror, gives these
reasons for the defeat of New York 5
constitution at the recent election:
"A lot OF highbrows, dazed by the
defeat OF the proposed new constitution
for New York, are wondering why it
happened There's no wonder about it
at all The constitution was defeated
because its supposed progressive pro
visions gave the people no direct voice
in government. Its home rule for
cities was fake. 1t removed taxation
still further, ii anything, from popular
CONTROL and it gave the voter no power
to check the growth of the privileged
corporations. The document was not
definite in its provisions as to any i'm
portant matter, and it left everything
too wide open to judicial Interpretation.
No concession was made to the prin-
ciple OF direct legislation. Wherever
the people had any power under the in
strument the power was difficult to eX-
ercise and could be nullihed after eXer-
else. The new constitution was defeat
ed because it was an attempt to make a
people stand stock still i'll a moving
universe

BIGELOW DENOUNCED
BY Catholic Editor For His Dis
course Concerning Deity.

AS "mountebank" and "limelight-
loving parson" Herbert S. Bigelow is
characterized by the Catholic Telegraph
in an editorial, condemning his statement
before the Peoples Church on last Sum
day that Jesus was the lover of Mary,
the sister of Lazarus, to whom, as mar
with red blood in his veins, he came to
pay court as the extreme limit of
downright blasphemy."
1T is impossible says the editorial,
properly to stigmatize this diabolical
attempt to degrade the character of the
Saviour, this studied effort to represent
the Christ as nothing but the common
est clay, dominated by passion, the very
mention of which, as ascribed to the
Messias, has naturally shocked the sem
sbilities of the decent people of the city
Sincere and honorable clergymen do not
wantonly insult the religious sentiments
of others; they freely and gladly con-
cede to all others that peace and liberty
of worship, which they themselves eX-
pect to be allowed to enjoy.
For those who are deluded followers
of the blasphemer in his economic vag-
aries we have only feelings of tenderest
pity. We would warn them, in all Chris
tan charity, that real social progress is
utterly impossible, unless it is promoted
in accordance with the unerring prin
ciples of true religion

WHEELING BUTCHERS STRIKE

Wheeling, w. Va.-About $50 mem
bers OF the Meat Cutters and Butcher
Workmen's union are on strike to en-
force a 10 per cent wage increase.
Plants employing about $50 butchers
have signed the scale.
The just demand OF these workers
is shown by Editor Hilton of the
Wheeling Majority, who says:
ITO ecsape pneumonia they have to
wear boots at their work Boots that
formerly cost 1926 and wore six
months, now cost S. and wear three
months. The meat inspection system
has worked a hardship upon the men
in that it has caused them to have
more changes OF working clothing
without extra compensation. All have
to change these several times a week,
some OF them several times a day. In
the same day men will work in the
early morning in cellar with a tenn
perature OF 80 degrees, wearing several
thickness of clothing, and the balance
OF the day at work so hot that they
must strip. Between changing cloth
ing, lodging pneumonia and paying
more to work and live, they are justi-
fed in asking the small increase of 10
per cent. Their wages run now from So
to So for nine hours. Few get SD in
the packing houses"

WILL CUT LIABILITY RATES

Harrisburg, Pa.-The State insurance
fund, which manages the State work
mems compensation insurance, has OIL
fcially announced that rates will be 10
per cent less than the insurance rate
manual.
The manual which will be the stand
ard for private concerns, has not been
published, but the State declares that
regardless OF these figures, it will cut
them 10 per cent.
Officers OF the State insurance fund
say they can reduce rates 10 per cent
below those charged by private con-
Germs because the State will not have
to figure on agents commissions or
dividends for stockholders.
There is also the advantage to the
subscribers in the State fund.-" say Off
GERS, that there will be no contingent
liability to assessments. The purpose
OF the act was to make the payment OF
the premium the sole liability to sub
scribers, and no assessments will be lev
led in any case, as there is not one
word in the act creating the State fund
that directly gives or by implication
suggests the right OF assessments"
The 10 per cent reduction means that
the State fund will not remain inactive
while hostile manufacturers and private
insurance companies war against the
compensation act Instead, the State
officials propose showing manufacture
ers it is safer and more economical to

TEACHERS LOSE LONG FIGHT.

Columbus, Ohio-The State supreme
court has upheld the decision OF the To-
ledo court OF appeals that Superintend-
ent Fredericks OF the Cleveland public
schools has the right to discharge teach
ers who belong to the Grade Teachers
club, an organization affiliated to the
Cleveland federation OF labor The
Cleveland board OF education passed
an anti-union rule, about two years
ago. Superintendent Frederick was en-
joined by Judge Netf from enforcing the
order, and was later found guilty OF con-
tempt and sentenced to be imprisoned
and pay a fine OF $500. The case has
been before the supreme court twice.

BROCKTON LABOR MAN
DROPS OUT OF SIGHT
Started for "A. f.. of Il. Convention
at Frisco, But Didn't Arrive.

Brockton-Joseph McGovern, ~ years
old, president of the Brockton Central
Labor Union and the Teamsters' Union,
has not been heard from since Novem-
Der 1, when he started for San Francisco
as a delegate to the American Fedora
ton of Labor convention there. 1t is
feared something of a serious nature
has happened to him.
Telegraphic communication with the
officials of the A. F. of L. convention
at San Francisco revealed he had not ap-
peared at the convention, although pro-
ceedings opened November 8.
When McGovern left home he told
his wife and two children he would send
them postcards at every stopping place.
No cards have been received. He was
due to arrive in San Francisco in time
for the opening of the convention.
On November 1, Business Agent Pelo-
quin accompanied the delegate to Bos-
ton and saw him board the train Since
then no trace of his movements can be
found. Credentials in his pockets would

Expulsion of Union
Avoided By Federation
Big Breach Was Threatened in Organized Labor-Was
Proposed to Take Charter From Carpenters
Pleaded For "Ideas of Human Brotherhood"

San Francisco-The problem of at
tempting to heal breach in the ranks
of the American Federation of Labor,
growing out of the presentation
of a resolution calling for a sus-
pension of the United Brotherhood
of Carpenters and Joiners, was before
the concluding session OF the Fedora
tons thirty-fifth annual convention to-
day. The union in question is the sec
ond largest international union in
America. Had the resolution been
adopted it would have meant the loss
OF 100000 members OF the Federation
and threatened the disruption OF the
organization, according to Federation
officials. After a heated debate sub
stitute resolution not calling for expul-
sion, but offering a means of reaching
an understanding was adopted.
The resolution to withdraw the char
ter OF the Carpenters union was pre-
sented by the Adjustment committee.
1t was the result of the failure OF the
Carpenters organization to refrain
from alleged encroachment upon jur-
isdiction awarded to the machinists
coupled with the attitude of the Car
penters' union toward the Federation.
In the course of the debate Samuel
Gompers, president OF the Federation,

ACCUSED OF PADRONE ME-
THODS.

Hammond, Ind.-In Judge Reiand's
court at Indiana Harbor score OF al
idavits, filed by Hungarian laborers,
charged John Sombati OF East Chicago
with operating an employment agency,
illegally On the evidence submitted,
accused was bound over to the super
ior court for trial. Sombati has been a
foreman in the Republic Iron and Steel
company plant for a number OF years,
and it is charged that he compelled la
borers to pay him fee OF $3.50 and Sc,
and to force subsequent payments OF
various amounts on pay day on threats
OF discharge. 1t is claimed these work
ers have been mulcted OF thousands OF
dollars.

said: eve are not safe from disinte-
grafton and failure if we lose sight of
the ideals OF human brotherhood"
Andrew Furuseth, secretary OF the
Sailors union of the Pacific coast, de-
clared his belief that the Carpenters
union was deliberately seeking to COM
pei the Federation to withdraw the
charter.
During the hour in which charges
were hurled at them and speaker after
speaker taunted them with bad faith,
the big delegation OF carpenters sat
silent.
The Carpenters union was accused
OF repairing, dismantling and setting up
machinery in buildings in various cities,
and with claiming the right to do such
work, in defiance of the express com
mands of the Federation in Philadelphia
last year.
George L. Berry, president OF the
Printing Pressmen's union, offered the
substitute resolution. He moved that
a committee of five representative OF
international unions, with President
Gompers, be selected to attend the con
vention OF the carpenters and try to get
them to recede from the stand they had
taken. Berry's substitute was carried

Teeth on Their Tongues.

The biggest of fresh water fishes, the
"arapalma' of the Amazon, in South
America, which grows to six feet in
length, has teeth on its tongue, so that
the latter resembles the file and is used
as such. Some kinds of trout also have
the same popularity. Fishes that swal-
low their prey entire have their teeth
so supported on flexible bases as to bend
backward, but not forward, in order that
their victims shall not escape after they
have been once seized.

Bees and Ants.

Bees will place their honeycombs in
any place regularly or rregularly shap-

angels they seem to stop and consider.
Then they vary the shape of the cell, so
that the space is exactly filled. 1t could
not be done more satisfactorily if the
whole thing had been worked out on
paper beforehand. Ants make hard and
smooth roads and drive tunnels compar-
ed to which mans efforts in making
