NEWS OF THE UNIONS
BARTENDERS' UNION.

Word has been received that the eff
fort to segregate the cooks and cul-
mary workers in an international
union separate from the jurisdiction
of the Hotel and Restaurant En-
ployees' International Alliance and
Bartenders' International league of
America, has failed.
BY an overwhelming vote of IS
to 139 the convention refused to per-
NIT the introduction of resolutions
paving the way for a division of the
organization into two internationals.
AS one man has stated the matter,
There will be no divorce scandal in
the organization for at least two years
to come. During that time the bar
tenders and culinary workers will
continue to live together happily, or
otherwise, under the protecting wing
Of the parent organization, which
positively refuses to countenance a
divorce or even a separation"

H|bb|NC To WORK
FOR CO|VvEV TON?

That the union men Of the Range
towns are seeking the Saith annual
convention of the Minnesota State
Federation Of Labor is a rumor that
has become current in the past few
days.
Pres. E. G. Hall is reported to have
stated that the affiliated unions in
the Range towns will send full
quota Of delegates to the Winona Con-
vention next month.
Considerable rivalry is expected to
be engendered for the choice Of the
1916 Convention city as it is almost
certain that East Grand Forks will
be among the aspirants for the hon
ors The latter city was among those
mentioned for the 1915 meeting.
The Range boys are doing a good
work In the organization of the sew
eral trades in their cities and they
feel that should the next convention
be held in Hibbing organized labor in
that section would receive a great i'm
petus to further organization.

orous man, as we'll as an energetic

Official Upholds Manning. = =.
In indorsing the statement of claim
ant that he was entitled to compen-
sation, the solicitor of the department
of labor declared that the treatment
accorded Manning was enough to pro-
duce insanity. The official said:
Here was a strong, hearty, hard
working employee who, for about 20
years, had been regularly employed
by the government, and whose rating
was first class. After putting in all
those years of service and retaining
his health, strength and vigor, a new
system was installed in the govern
ment establishment by which the
employee was kept under the highest
nerve racking tension, by reason of
the fact that a man sat watching his
every movement during every minute
Of an eight-hour day. In addition to
this it will be observed from claim
ants letter, above quoted, that the
work he was performing was one of
the heaviest and hardest kind to be
performed in his occupation. Under
such circumstances it is not a. matter
Of surprise that his health should be
injured ana shattered, Tor 1t certainly
seems that such treatment of a. man
engaged in heavy manual labor,
necessitating also the use of the in
tellect, would be sufficient to- upset
the mind OF an ordinary individual
and produce insanity
The ruling Of the department Of
labor Is in line with the views OF the
last congress, which passed the Deit-
rick bill, outlawing all forms Of
speeding up" in government arsen-
ais and navy yards. The passage Of
this bill was the result Of "a long cam
paign by organized labor. Opponents
of the bill insisted that these speed
ing up systems really benefited the
employee, who was thereby paid 'ac-
cording to his worth" "

Petitions were circulated among the
delegates present at the meeting OF
the Superior Trades and Labor as
sembly last Tuesday night requesting
Governor Phillip to reappoint c. H.
Crownhart on the Wisconsin Indus
trial Commission. Mr.. Crownhart has
proved to be Of great service to the
state in the administration Of the In

received the opposition of certain spe-
c1al interests which are doing there
utmost to block his reappointment,
Martin Mcnamara was obliged as
a. newly elected delegate from the In
ternational LonEshoremen's associa-
ton.
Complaint has been made that one
or two of the stores, that recently
signed up with the Retail Clerks, are
somewhate negligent about closing
sharply at six o'clock. This was ex-
planned to be partly due to the fact
That after customers come into the
store before six o'clock they must
therefore be waited on, also some un-
ion men have made practice Of de-
handing admittance to these stores,
after closing time, on a threat of
withdrawing their trade.
Hotel Superior Bar Unfair
The Bartenders union made a re-
port drawing attention to the fact that
the Hotel Superior bar is non-union
and made special request that un-

'SPEEDUP' SYSTEM
CAUSES INSANITY
New Method Makes Physical
Wreck of Most Competent
Employee.

WASHINGTON, June 26.-<Speed-
ing up" systems are sufficient to up
set the mind of an ordinary individ
ual and produce insanity.
This is what the solicitor Of the
United States department of labor
thinks Of the stop watch method of
production.
The department of labor has sus-
tanned this view, which is included in
an opinion by it's legal advisor that
a worker injured because of a. strain
from working under a speeding up
system is entitled to relief under the
federal workmen's compensation act.
The decision was made in the case
of D. c. Manning, sailmaker at the
Mare Island navy yard, California,
who worked for 20 years without los
ing a day from illness. A time card
system was introduced, and in his
plea for compensation, Manning
brought out these points:
Standard Set.
Under the time card system you
had to give an account of every min
ute you were on a job, and we were
given to understand that the men who
did the most work would hold their
jobs the longest. Later the Halsey
system was introduced. Under this
plan a time man, equipped with tab.
let, lead pencil and stop watch, sat
in front of the worker to find out
how long it takes to do a certain
piece of work. The report to head
quarters was your future; standard
for that class of work. -
Engender Fear. -
THE Halsey system is designed to
get out Of the man employed under
it the greatest possible amount OF
work he can do in a given time, with
the fear ever hanging over his head
that a failure to keep up to, the stan
dard will cause him to lose his job. u
Manning was engaged in making
coaling bags, which. are ~ inches
long and eight feet in circumference.
1t is the hardest work in sailmaking.
Between I the physical strength
necessary n this work and the mental
strain, caused by every move 4 being

The work of incendiarism is be-

Grangeville had real pioneer Gel

early settlers of Idaho county gath
cred in annual picnic. The annual af-
fair is one of the big events of the

John Long, one of the pioneer women,
was one of the principal speakers and
related the story of the raid of the
Nez Perez Indians on the whites in
1877 when she with many other women
and children were forced to seek safe
ty and protection in the stone fort
built on the hill at Mt. Idaho. She
also recalled the Cottonwood massacre
when Lieutenant Raines and his band
of Is soldiers CALAMITY fought to their
death when surrounded by band of
Indians. "Billy' Foster, an Indian
scout, was among the number killed
and he was buried on the spot where
he was slain which is alongside the

whether or not it ever had new
