TEACHERS CASE DISCUSSED.

Chicago, Ill.-At the meeting OF the
Chicago Federation of Labor resolu-
tions were passed calling on Mayor
Thompson not to appoint persons on
the school board who deny teachers the
right to organize. William Rothman
and Jacob Loeb, most active in their OPP
position to the teachers, were dis
.gruntled, unionists said because the
Teachers Federation had blocked sew
eral plans fostered by various mem
mers Of the school board.
"Thc school board and the revenge
seeking politicians think they are strik-
ing a blow at the labor movement, but
there will be reaction that will bury
them. We want it understood that the
school board is in for battle that will
be waged against it until the last labor
union in Chicago is wiped out" declared
John Fitzpatrick, president Of the fed

Miss Margaret Haley, business repre-
sentative OF the Teachers Federation,
said evidence was in the hands of the

prove criminal conspiracy is another

enough to make the people realize what

Douglas, and Annie Laurie was one of
the four daughters OF Sir Robert Lau-

the London Chronicle, Annie did not

ALTGELD'S MEMORY
HONORED IN CHICAGO

Chicago, Ill.-Organzed labor joined
with federal and state officials, Labor
Day, in paying honor to the memory
OF John Peter Altgeld, former governor
of Illinois, by unveilng a statue of this
champion OF common rights.
"Altgeld was a friend of the common
people and never feared to take a stand
with Them Governor Dunno said
"Prc-eminently he had the courage OF
his convictions. He upheld the right
and denounced the wrong at all times,
under all circumstances, and in every
place.
He believed the conviction of the an
archists was the result of the mob's de
mand, although the mob was clothed in
purple and fine linen. When he was
elected governor he had the courage to
do what was most unpopular thing at
that time-to pardon the anarchists then
confined at Joliet. In so doing he gave
his reasons, and the doing startled the
whole community
His moral courage was again dis
played when President Cleveland with
out request from governor, legislature
or mayor, sent federal troops into this
city for the purpose of suppressing riot.
He protested, and protested vigorously.

Melbourne, Nictoria-In an attempt
to check Australia's increasing debt and
to enlarge the peoples rule, the Labor
party has submitted a referendum to the
various States which would amend the
federal constitution and empower the
commonwealth parliament to abolish
State governors and Legislative coun-
ellis.
The Labor party is in control OF the
federal government and FIVE States
The financial question is vital problem
and is stated as follows by w. Wallis,
writing in the Labor Call OF this city :

Every child born in the commonwealth
owes the State $500 Children are thus

The munition question was simpler

but they were acquainted with it.
Richard III ordained that with every
ton OF certain goods imported into Eng

makers, too, were not allowed to use
our own yew wastefully, and some
standard OF skill had to be reached be-

British General Elections.

The British general election which
can be called an appeal to the people
and on which the existing government
may be obliged to go out is prac-
tically a referendum. In case OF dead
lock or disagreement in parliment or
cabinet general election may be call
ed at any time. Although the vote OF
the people is not taken directly on a
question, but on the representatives
whose standing on the question is
known, the result is the same as ii the
bill itself were being voted upon.

Machinists' Big Gains

Reduction In Hours Causes No Wage Cut-Prediction
Is Made Eight-Hour Day Will Extend Ouer Entire
Jurisdiction

The International Association of
Machinists is taking the fullest advant-
age of the present prosperity due to
war-order profits" declared President
William II. Johnston in statement
made relative to the campaign being
wagcd by the machinists for the eight
hour day and higher wages
New England, the seat of the muni-
tion factories, is the salient on which
we are training our forty-two cent?
meter howitzers,' explained Mr.. John
ston "ln Massachusetts, Connecticut
and Rhode Island we have twenty spe-
cial organizers in the field
The interest in the eight-hour move
ment initiated by the machinists is well
illustrated by meeting held under our
auspices few days ago at Waterbury.

over 1000 workers. At its close $50 men
applied for membership in the !. A.

Jubilant over their accomplishments
during the month Of August
August. 1915, has been a great
and organized labor in general" declar-
ed Mr.. Johnston
I'VE have been simply unable to re-
strain the militant enthusiasm Of our
members As to our victories. there is
an incomplete list OF them which our
publicity department has Just prcpar-
large sheets with closcly-spaced type
written data
Take Bridgeport, Conn. Bridgeport
IS the banner town in the machinists'
campaign. We brought the Remington
Arms Company and the Union Metallic
Cartridge Company up standing in short
order. These concerns had been work
ing their men iifty-hve hours a week.
Atter strike OF few days duration
both concerns granted the forty eight
hour week with no reduction in pay.
Then came the Bullard Machine
Company with a reduction from the
tlity-tive-hour week to the forty eight
hour week with no reduction in wages.
Quickly followed the Locomobilc
Company OF America-from iifty-five to
forty-eght hours with no reduction in
wages.
II hen the fight concentrated on such
firms as the American & British Manu-
featuring Company, the Burns 4 Bas-
sick Company, the Sprague Motor Com
pany, the Standard Manufacturing Com
pany, the Electric Gable Company, the
Warner Corset Company and numerous
smaller concerns In some instances
these plants had worked their employees
sixty hours a week Now they are all
under the forty-eight-hou limit
From the data now in the posses
sion OF our officials we can state that
at least 10000 wage carncrs in and
around Bridgeport have gained on an
average seven hours OF leisure per week
with no reduction in wages Collective
ly this means that the Bridgeport work
crs have at least 100000 additional
hours per week to spend with their

chinists numbered their batteries il
| Bridgeport.
Nor did we gain these victories by
striking. The strike was resorted to in
but three shops.
Our victories for better conditions
for the workers have not been limited
to Connecticut continued Mr. John
ston. In Taunton, Mass, the Miehe
Printing Press Company and the Ma
chine Company have reduced the hours
Of their employees from lifty-nne to
forty-eight per week with no reduction
in wages.
"In Boston, the men employed by the
Becker Brainerd Milling Machine Com
pany, the Sturtevant Blower Company
and the National Tool Company are on
strike for the eight-hour day with ex-
cellent outlook for securing the de-
mands speedily
''In Toledo, Ohio, the Toledo Ma
chine and Tool Company has granted
the eight-hour day with the same wages
formerly paid for the longer day.
I'm Wilmington, Del, our men have
initiated strikes in several shops for the
eight-hour day.
I'm Pawtucket, X. l., the Potter &
Johnston employees are on strike for the
eight-hour day. In Woonsocket, X. L.
the employees of the Taft-Pierce Com
pany have likewise thrown down their
tools until the eight-hour day is granted
In Plainlield, n. j., six concerns
have yielded to our demands for the
eight-hour day during the month of
August. They are: The Sauer Motor
Truck Company, the Pond Machine
Tool Company, the Scott Printing Press
Company, the Potter Press Company,
the Vitaphane Company and the Bosch
Magnetic Company. The employees of
all these concerns are receiving the
fame wages for the forty-eight- hour
week that they formerly received for
the longer hours.
AT Wheeling, w. Va, we have per-
suaded the Wheeling Can Company to
reduce the hours from ten and a half
to nine a day, accompanied with the
establishment of an increased minimum
wage scale.
Last, but not least there is the Du-
Pont Powder Company. This concern
employs nearly 10000 wage earners. Up
to the time the l. A. of NJ. began its
militant campaign for the eight-hou
day along in July, the DUPONT Com
pany worked its men ten hours day
The Powder employers mighty soon APP
preciated the desirability of meeting the
demands of the workers On August
) the DUPONT Company reduced the
hours in its plants from ten to eight
per day with no reduction in the rate
Of pay.
I'VE are pursuing our work of or
ganizing,' concluded President John
ston, with all the enthusiasm and mill
fancy that our continued victories give
us. The officials Of the !. A. of NJ. are
confident that the eight-hour day will
soon be very generally established. And
owing to the prevailing economic con
diti6ns we expect to obtain the shorter
work-day without recourse to but few
strikes. The Tribune Springfield, O
