WATCH YOUR STEP.

Look before you leap" is an old
adage but should be carried under
the hat band of every unien man.
1t is not the purpose nor the du-
ty of labor organization to declare
firm unfair or call strike every
time an employer of labor looks
cross-eyed.
The constitutions of the several
labor organizations and the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor contains
provisions which if carefully ad
hered to by union members would
prevent unnecessary and fruitless
strife between employers and en-
ployees.
When the Creator made man He
supplied him with head and en-
dowed him with the powers of
thought. That head was placed
there to use no. as an ornament
nor as battering ram but as an

Organizing The South

Washington, Feb. 26-In report
ing on efforts to organize the mill
workers at Knoxville, Tenn, an
American Federation of Labor or
ganizer writes to Secretary Nor
rison:
The employees of the Appala-
chan mill are trying to organize
They received their charter last
Wednesday, and in that length of
time the company has discharged
over fifty people. The president
of the organization and his FIVE
children were discharged. He
earned S1.l0 per day. Not any of
the children earned over 60 cents a
day. The father called on me to-
day and told me that they had not
anything to eat. He paid his gro
Gerry dill Saturday, $3.50, all the
money he had. This morning they
refused to give him any groceries.
These are the things we will have
to contend with in organizing the
south.

A Warning To Women.

San Francisco, Feb. 26. - No
women or girls should come to San
Francisco who have no assured po-
s:tion awaiting them here, or sufi-
cient funds to carry them over a
period of four or five months" is
the conclusion of a lengthy report
on Unemployment of Women in
San Francisco" issued by COM
mittee of college women. The re-
port states that the manager of the
employment bureau of the exposi-
tion says that there are ON file in
his office between 0,000 and 100,
900 applications for positions. Of
these, between 5000 and 0,OOO
are applications of women, while
the number of positions for women
to be filled directly by the exposi-
ton authorities is limited to 1000.
Because of the large number of
unemployed women, general cut

St. Louis, Mo-, Feb. 26-The
ordinance recently passed by the
city council directing the various
municipal departments to pay en-
ployes wages based upon the scales
maintained by ST. Louis trade un-
ious is being put into successful
operation. Since the passage of
the ordinance the bulk of city EN-
ployes have become members of the
unions to which they are eligible.
The ordinance provides that those
in charge of directing the labor of
the city shall from time to time
call upon the executive officers of
the various departments for offici-
ally certified scales of wages, to
the end that the ordinance shall be
uniformly enforced Eight hours

Dor union has had a copy of the
ordinance engrossed, with the pen
used by the mayor, mounted upon
its face, and the whole inclosed in
an elaborate frame.

New Jersey Strike Is Won.
UnskiIled Aided by A. F. of |.

Creme, N. J. Feb. 26-The
strike of workers at the chemical
and fertilizing plant in this place
has been settled. The terms reached
are as follows: 7 b e company
agrees to re-empley all men with
out dissemination because of union
affiliation or activities during the
strike; strike breakers, numbering
about 100, have been discharged
the company agrees TO grant S1.80
per day Immediately Thereby re-
storing 20 of the 40 cents reduc-
tion, and the other 20 cents will
be restored on or before July /
About 200 of the men returned
to work Immediately, as condi-
tions in the plant are not such as
will permit them all to return at
once. This is understood by the
men, and is agreeable TO them.
Preference will first be given to
married men of families and those
with dependents.
These workers were unorgat lied
and went on strike to restore wage
cuts. They were organized by the
American Federation of Labor into
the Chemical and Fertilizer Work
ers' union. Last month a number
of them were assaulted by imported
gunmen. Two strikers were killed
and score injured.

Paper Makers To
Hold Conference
In This City Next Sunday.

The Paper Makers of the Miami
Valley are anxiously awaiting the
outcome of the conference to be
held in this city on next Sunday
afternoon at which time plans are
to be discussed as to the advisable
ity of trying to bring about more
uniform system of working hours
and conditions and the possibility
of securing the eight hour day this
year. Delegates are expected to
be in attendance from Elkhart,
Ind, Ostego, Mich, Kalamazoo,
M c h., Rumford, Falls, NJ e.,
Lawrence, Mass, and from all of
the local unions in the Miami Val
ley.
All delegates to be present will
represent mills making the same
grades of paper such as Book
Bonds, Writing, ETC., and will in
clude representatives from most all
of the mills making these grades
that are still operating on the two
tour system of twelve hours day.
Many of the mills making these
same grades have adopted what is
Known as the three-tour system of
eight-hour shifts and il is the de-
sire of the men in the towns men
toned to have their mills operate
on the same basis.
The men claim and many of the
manufacturers who have adopted
the three tours, agree that the in
creased quality of production will
almost and in all cases does pay for
any added cost TO the employer
making the change to the eight
hours and feel that they are justi-
fed in asking relief from the old
antiquated system of eleven and
thirteen hours day.
The local union will also meet in
regular session Sunday afternoon
and it is planned 10 hold a social
session after the regular meeting
to entertain the visiting brothers.
Every union paper maker in the
city should be on hand Sunday to
meet the out of town delegates and
hear for themselves the reasons
why these men have come to Ham
ilton.

Pleads For The Children.

Sacramento Cal. Feb. 26-' Save
the children Save them By plac-
ing them above ali property inter
ests, and enact laws eliminating
those of too tender years from the
great malestrom of industry, "
urged Albert Ehrgott, vocational
secretary of the Y. M. c. A. of
San Francisco, in an address in this
city
The speaker insisted that the
child labor laws should be amended
SO that children under fifteen years
of age will be barred from labor.
He read figures which showed that
one fifth of all babies born in this
country die before they are a year
old, and that one out Of every six
children must work for its exis-
tence.
Digging beneath the surface of
things" he continued, we find
the structure of our society crumb-
ling because our boys and girls
must begin Shaving in factories and
sweat shops before they have pro
perly matured. These children,
whose years must be passed with
but heeting glimpses of the sun,
are of course deprived of the rights
which were the watchword in the
foundation of this government.
This is one reason why child labor
should be abolished
1t is not the army or the navy
that denotes the strength of a ma
ton, nor is it the enterprises of
commerce. The children Of any
country are that country S founda-
ton. And when you spoil them
and make weak, decrepit, unfit
men of them you spoil the govern
ment What you sow in the child,
you reap in the nation.
"Other reasons why child labor
should be done away with are: 1t
creates mental inferiority; causes
the young to grow old far ahead OF
their time; promotes moral deprav-
ity by increasing crime and immor-
ality, and is failure from an eco
nomic point of view so far as the
laborer is concerned.
"The young child, robbed of his
chance to attend school, is natural
ly very poorly equipped with learn
ing. Children laboring in mills
mature at twelve years of age, be-
come middle aged al fifteen, and al
twenty-five years of age are in their
dotage."

In wages is also reported. Cham
bermaids who formerly received
$8 SO now get ST without room and
board. Children's nurses, who last
year earned $35, get SIS and $40.
