STREET CAR MEN STRIKE
DESPITE COURT ORDERS

Fort Wayne, lnd-The petition for
permanent injunction against the en-
ployes OF the Fort Wayne & Northern
Indiana Traction Company, to prevent
them from striking has been dismissed
in Judge Andcrson's Federal Court at
indianapolis, on motion OF the COM
pany's attorney, who is quoted as say
ing there was no longer any reason for
keeping the case ON the docket, as the
strike occurred in spite Of the suit" OF
iicials OF the company acknowledged the
purpose OF the order had failed After
the men struck on September q last,
in dcilnancc OF the Injunction, there was
nothing to do but punish them for con-
tempt. but that was mere minor mat
ter according to President Barrett, OF
the company, who favored dismissing
the suit. as it is agreed that the jailing
OF few workers would not terrify the
others.
Following the dismissal OF this in
junction. the company requested Judge
Anderson to issue another injunction
against several city officials and about
30 trade unionists to restrain them from
interfering with the company's affairs.
The city officials are charged with con-
spring with the workers to "injure the
company proDerty.
\ short time ago the company asked
city officials to furnish special police to
protect the property OF the company
from anticipated violence The mayor
and police officials replied that as the
company had refused to arbitrate, and
thereby protect the public. the peoples
money would not be placed at its dis
posal and it could. therefore employ its
own sDecial police

Topeka, kan-Over one-half of the
POS employees OF this city are receiving
either bare living wage, which allows
them to lay up nothing for emergencies,

WHY COPPER MINERS STRUCK.

Clifton, Ariz.-Striking miners and
other employees in this copper district
are standing firm and deny the stories
of rioting and disorder manufactured
by operators. There are about 5000
workers on strike, roughly divided as
follows: 800 Americans, 5000 McXicans
and Spaniards and 1,5O0 Italians Aus
trianS and Slavs. Nearly a dozen dia-
lcctS and languages are spoken by these
workers, most of whom know practically
nothing of trade unionism, but who were
compelled to organize because of lln-
bearable conditions
The strikers claim they were forced
to patronize company stores and con-
tribute So month if married and %1.50 a
month if single To the hospital fee. Each
man i'll MOrenci it is charged, must. pay
the company S1.2j per month for water
rent. If six members of a family are
employed, they must pay $50 for water
rent alone, irrespective of how little may
be actually used.
The operators have refused to arb-
tratc the strike and have delivered an
ultimatum in which they say:
When it shall appear that conditions
III this section warrant ii and the COM
panies are satisfied that the general sen.
timent of the community and their
former employees is unanimous in favor
OF a resumption of operations on the
basis of wages and conditions that have
prevailed heretofore in this district, the
companies reserve to themselves the
right to decide whether or not they shall
again start up their plants

WOMEN NEED UNIONISM.

Dallas, TeX.-A protest against condi-
ions under which women labor was one
OF the features Of an address by General
President Hedrck OF the brotherhood of
painters. The unionist said organization
lives were almost human slavery. In
recounting the activities of the organized
workers, President HIedrick said that
during the last 20 years the trade union
movement has taken part in every So

earncrs. In speaking of his own trade,
he referred to the 11-hour day for Sl.5O
to 81 per day before organization. Now
an eight-hour day, at 81 is the rule.

Says Ii Is Only Solution.

Did those words come from a crack
er box orator? Bless you, no They were
uttered by Dan Williams. one OF the most
pronounced members OF the Republican
organization in Cincinnati and deputy
clerk in the Probate Court. Williams is
a delegate to the Federated Improve
ment Associations, and it was yesterday
at the meeting of the association in the
Gibson House that he spoke. Mr.. Will
iams continued:
Gentlemen, we seem to be afraid, we
seem constantly to be ducking the qucs-
ton. There is no other solution than the
one | have indicated. \ city like Gin
cinnati should exercise the functions that
properly belong to it. 1t is humliating
to be constantly begging, to be holding
out our hat for the aims of the utility
corporations.

"Making Ourselves Silly"

These corporations can not say they
are not making money. Look at the i'll
crease of values immediately after the
election. we are making ourselves posi-
lively silly. If we do as | believe we
ought to do. as we can do. we will for
ever have done with all this effort after
fair play and a square deal.

morning had far more people hanging
onto straps than were seated. In the
days OF the old horse cars they were
given better than 5-cent fare, we got

say that now with electricity it costs
anything like as much to haul or drive
street car
Fifteen years ago the owners OF the
Cincinnati Street Railroad Company
said their property was worth S20,O0O,-
eco They certainly did not undercsti-
mate it. The gamble is that they were
pretty liberal in their estimate. And
they only wanted per cent on this val
uation.

that ought to pay not for water, but for
actual worth.

III we supinely sit with folded hands,
il we say nothing can be done save run
up to Columbus or to the courts we
ought to get the hooks. Any people who
hold themselves SO cheaply as the con-
duct we have been guilty of in respect
to public utilities would indicate can not
expect corporations to hold them at any
other than their own price.
Some people say municipalization
would result in horde OF officials be-
ing added. But the men who would run
the cars are now employed. 1t creates
no new positions it would only change
the employer.
