Joint Relief Actions Of Workers and
Employers Organizations in
Switzerland.
Cd The SWISS Trades Union Fed
eraulun and the swiss industrial So
clety nave Jointly petitioner the Fed
eral council IN regard to measures W
ne taken against the dist soS which
prevaIs among the WolA.ne CLASS.
The following are the proposals:
/. Uniform regulations III regard to
contracts.
2. Protection against sweating and
arbitrary reductions or WAGES III gen
eral.
3. Contributions towards the ex-
penses of the (masters
land workers organizations) in connec-
ton with unemployment relief
The abuses in matters relating to
contracts are held responsible for a
great deal. The first measure, pro
posed towards abolishing the same, is
The appointment of special commits
sion by the Federal Council which
commission is to consist OF represent
atives of the Industrial Department OIL
=. the Swiss Industrial Society and is to
draft model bill which is later on to
be replaced by legislative measure.
Further, the procuring of work and
the contributing towards unemploy-
ment and other relief is demanded
from the confederacy. At present
more than 10 per cent of the workers,
employed in the Swiss industries, are
| entirely, and far above 80 per cent
partly unemployed. These figures
principally refer to Indigenous work
of small craftsmen but also larger
employers without work; others have
to put I'D with greatly reduced earn,
ings and frequently with consider
ably diminished number of customers
Accordingly, the confederacy, the
cantons anr the municipality are to
procure work and the confederacy Is
| if possible, to grant the means neces-
sary for the purpose. In order to or
! ganize the procuring of work systema
tically, the Federal Council is shortly
to convene a conference of the repre-
! sentatives of the confederacy, the can
tons and the larger municipalities, as
well DIS VI LuO 1duO OnAOAo HSNNA -
ton and the Industrial Society
Further, the activity of the labor
agencies is to be centralized and the
fees to be reduced.
The contributions of the cantons to
wards unemployment relief, of local OF
cantonal unions are to be effected by
the Confederacy in regard to the IN
ions of the whole of Switzerland
through the intermediary OF the
Trades Union Federation and the In
4 dustrial Society. Figures are ther
given regarding the disbursements o
the Swiss trade unions. Of $4,000
trade union members 1874 were en-
tirely and 1879 partly unemployed OF
September Both. The sums which thu
unions, affiliated to the Trades Unior
Federation, spent on relief for the I'm
employed rose from $4,000 in 1912 t.
100000 in 1913 and to $4,000 in 1914
The total amount spent on relief il
1914 amounts to 100000. In addition
the receipts of the same trade unions
had in 1914 decreased by $4,000
compared to the preceding year, |. e.
the income from contributions fel
from $50O,0O0 in 1918 to 100000 il
1914, the membership from 1898 PEG
pie to 1880.
The concluding demands are a

cloth, have stopped work in Turin.
For long time past, wages have, on
the average, been 40 to so per cent
lower in Turin than in other places,
like Gialla for instance, where only
recently wages movements found
their conclusion in favorable result
for the workers. In Turin, the obso-
lete method of paying per yard still
prevails. The strikers, principally wo-
men and girls, demand payment &C
cording to the number of lays of the
loom and an increase from IL cents
to Is for 1000. Strobino, the secre-
tary to the weavers' union, who had
organized the Bialla strike, had ap-
peared early in the morning at the
place of work of the different firms,
affected by the strike, but had to ex-
,ercise no pressure of any kind, as ac-
tually none of the workers had turn
ed up, thus making the general strike
of the Turin weavers a complete at
fair. Nevertheless, Strobino was ar
rested according to martial law which
prohibits risings, assemblies, etc.
A detailed decree was issued thu
other day by the military administra
ton, regarding the manufacture of
military clothing, which decree also
urges the taking of measures against
exploitation of the workers and the
appointing of adequate provincial and
municipal committees. It throws q
curious light on the activity of these
commissions against exploitation in
connection with war supplies" an &C
ivity which has always been suspect
ed by, "Avanti," that some Of the TIL
rim manufacturers belong to such q
committee, the same people who pre-.
tend not to be able to grant an in
crease in wages of about 5 cents per
meter, whilst they make $3.50 profit

The British Triple Alliance of
WorkerS.

ID The joint Executive of the
Miners, the Railwaymen and the
Transportworkers assembled in Lon
don on September 3rd,- in order to
resume negotiations regarding the CO.
operation of the three organizations
The idea of forming a triple alliance
between the aforementioned organi-
cations originated in consequence of
the great strikes during the time from
1911 to 1913. It was greatly discuss
ed in 1914, but the outbreak Of the
war prevented the realization Of the
idea. Now it is taken up again, as
the maintenance Of trade .unionism is
nenaced by Government and the en-
blowers

Conference of the Commercial
EmnIoves of Run1ania.


ID We learn from Bucharest: In
the midst of war. umimpeded by it's
cares and dangers, the commercial
employees of Rumania proceeded to
create a modern Central Union in
Rumania, the commercial proletariat
is organized" in all sorts of unions
more or less resembling those of the
bourgeoisie. Our young organizations
which are under socialist leadership,
have to strike out right and left in
order to assert their point of view.
In view of the great demands, made
on the unions, the lack of central
management made itself felt all the
more.
Thanks to the initiative Of the Buch-
Arrest organization, a conference of
the socialist unions Of commercial
employees took place at Bucharest
from August 18th to 18th. Comrade
Moscu was in the chair. The Bulgar-
ian union of commercial employees
with broad views" was represented
by Comrade Ivancieff who communi-
Gated the greeting of the Rumanfan
commercial employees to the Bulgarian
comrades. In reply comrade Segall
expressed the wish that the Bulgarian
comrades might soon become united.
The discussion on the first item on
the order papers Organization" on
which Vassi1escu and Segall reported,
took up the whole of the first and:
half of the second day. Although this
was not a question Of fine phrases,
but of very trivial matters. like week
| ly contributions, ETC., the delegates
proved by their lively and animated
discussion that they realized to the
full the great Importance Of these dry
regulations. The drafted rules OF the
editorial commission in whose name
omrade Magure reported, were adopt
ed in the main.
In regard to the item press" TN
surance Laws" and Labor Bureaux,"
the respective resolutions were pass
| ed.
Finally, several resolutions were
adopted, one of which dwelled in elo-
Quent words on the necessity OF or
ganizing the commercial proletariat
on the bisis of the class war, another
one was directed against the war, etc.
The newly created union bears the
name of Union Employees in Com
merce and Industry" It is headed by
a committee consisting Of three mem
bers.
Proceedings terminated on Sunday
in a forceful concluding speech BY
Comrade Moscu. The union which
was born in so stormy time must
gather together IN forces. SO that it

Italian Emigration.

Q) The "Gazetta Ufficiale" pub
fishes the statistics of the Italian emf
grafton in 1914. According to these
statistics, emigration has decreased
considerably since the beginning Of
the war. Emigration to European
states comprised 245,897 persons,
whilst the number emigrating to trans
oceanic countries was 1914 In
1913, the former group comprised 313,-
1872, the latter 1866 persons which
is 872.598 against 479,041 persons in
1914. Accordingly, the war has re
duced Italian emigration to almost
half it's former dimentions. Firstly,
emigration to North America shows
lower figures, secondly to the Argen-
tine, Brasil and Canada Sicily, with
2250 emigrants to every 100000 inhab,
itants marched, as usual, with Lom-
hardy and Venice at the head of the
provinces supplying the largest con-
tingent of emigrants. Calabria, Pied
mont and the Arbuzzi etc. follow. OF
the trades, laborers as usual take first
place with 114,O00 persons. They are
followed by excavators with 100000
and stone masons with $4,000 persons.
The respective figures for 1913 were
for the laborers 205, 900, for the excav-
ators $4,000 and for the stone masons
25, 600.
No definite figures are. up to the
present, available regarding the re-
turn and the immigration of Austro-
Italian fugitives.

TREAT CATARRH BY
NATURES METHOD
Every Breath OF HYOmei Carries Heal
ing Medicated Air to the Infected
Membrane

Nearly every one who has catarrh
knows how foolish it is to try and
cure it with sprays. lotions and the
like. Temporary relief may be given,
but cure seldom comes.
Until recently your physician would
probably have said the only way to
help catarrh would be to have change
of climate; but now with a simple
preparation called Hyomei you can
carry health-giving climate in your
vest pocket and by breathing it few
minutes four times day successfully
treat yourself.
The complete Hyomei outfit is in
expensive and consists of an inhaler
that can be carried in the vest pocket,
a medicine dropper and a bottle of
Hyomei. The inhaler lasts life
time, and II one bottle does not give
permanent relief, an extra bottle of
Hyomei can be obtained at any time
for a tritiing sum. 1t is more eco
nOmical than all remedies advertised
for the cure of catarrh, and is the
only treatment known to us that fol-
lows nature in her method of treating
diseases of the respiratory organs.
w. w. Albers sold a great many
Hyomei outfits and the more he sells,
the more convinced he is that he is
perfectly safe in guaranteeing to re-
fund the money if Hyomei does not
relieve. adv

$500, 600 endowment. The balance to
raise above what the college now has
is $4,000 before Jan. 1st. Ripon

organization has been effected where

by the business men of Ripon in
raising the balance-S125,0 900. 1t is

various communities in Wisconsin, to
make canvas for funds. One of the
cities to be visited will be WauSau.

those who can, should do what they
can in this good cause. Further
