FINDS GOOD
IN REPORT.

Philadelphia, Pa, Sept. 15-In an
editorial comment on the work of the
commission on industrial relations,
the North American of this city as
sumes a different attitude from the
Average daily newspaper when dis
cussing the work of this commission.
This paper says:
? "Unhappily, the conflicts of opinion
give the supporters Of special prfyil-
eye an opportunity to sheer at the
work at the commission as seIf-con-
Trajectory and worthless-a criticism
which may deceive some careless
readers of imperfect abstracts. But
as the volumnous records are studied
and discussed, they will increase Gn-
-derstanding of reimbursement Of our
Industrial and social affairs and will
help the American people gradually
to establish that approximation Of JUS
tice which is their desire and which
alone can avert national disaster" :

TEACHERS CASE
DISCUSSED.

Chicago, ILL.,, Sept. 15-At the meet
ing of the Chicago federation of labor
resolutions were passed calling on
Mayor Thompson not to appoint per-
sons on the school board who deny
teachers the right to organize. Will
lam Rothman and Jacob Loeb, most
active In their opposition to the teach
ers, we're disgrutled, unionists said,
because the teaehers' federation had
blocked several plans fostered by var
ious members of the school board.
THE school board and the revenge
seeking politicians think they are
striking blow at the labor movement
but there will be reaction that will
bury thema: We want it understood
that the school board is in for bat
tie that will be waged against it until
the last labor union in Chicago is
wiped out" declared John Fitzpat-
rick, president of the federation.
Miss Margaret Haley, business rep
resentative of the Teachers institute,
said evidence was in the hands Of the
states attorney to prove a conspiracy.
Whether we have enough evidence
to prove criminal conspiracy is an
other question:" she said, shut we
have enough to make the people real
ize what kind Of men are at the head

Light And Power
Council Planned

That Wheeling district may have a
Light and Power Council is posi-
bility. 1t was suggested at a meeting
of the Ohio Valley Trades and Labor
Assembly Sunday and unanimously
decided to take up with the American
Federation of Labor this matter and
see just what prospects there are for
successfully conducting such an or
ganization in this vicinity.
Power Councils are not new in the
Labor movement; they are in line
with the tendency everywhere mani
fest toward greater solidarity; but
1t is form taking shope as result
of the changing industrial conditions.
Formerly there were Setam Power
Councils, composed of the organiza-
tons represented in the making of
steam; today it is taking the form of
Light and Power Councils because
the field is broadening and other
crafts have become interested.

.Stogie Trade Is
Better Generally

=
That the stogie trade is better is
made plain not only from local con
ditions, but from reports received
throughout the country. Local men
are working steadily, but Of course
this can be partly accounted for by
the reduction in working hours from
10 to 8. But in addition to this there
is a general improvement. Three
things are believed to contribute to
this pleasing end: the generally bet,
ter business conditions, the approach
of fall and the increased demand FOL
the union label of the Stogie Makers
by reason Of the endorsement OF the
Cigar Makers and the American Fed
Grafton Of Labor.
