Birth of Carpenters Union No. l
Thirty-Fiue Years Ago.
By J. H. RYAN.
In the Washington. D. c.. Trades Unionist

About this time an agitation was
started turnout the country for the es-
tablishment of national organization,
the late Brother =. j. Mcclure, who was
then publishing a craft journal in st.
Louis, being the prime mover in the
movement. Union No. l readily fell into
line, and after considerable correspond
ence it was decided to respond to n call
that had been issued for the various
Carpenters Unions to meet in convention
in Chicago the following August.
The convention met, No. j sending

UNORGANIZED HATTERS ON
STRIKE AT STETSON WORKS
UNION HELPS BY ISSUING A PAPER
TO MAKE TRUTH PUBLIC.
Philadelphia's "Model Plant" Proves
That Unless Organized, Workers Are
Victims of Greedy Employers.

Over thousand unorganized employees
of the John b. Stetson "modeP hat fac
tory in Philadelphia are on strike for
better working conditions. The United
Hatters of North America have taken up
the fight for these long deluded workers
and in order that the public may know
the truth, are issuing paper that
prints the facts, which the daily papers
of the City of Brotherly Love" have
refused to do. Copies of this paper
reached Denver this week, together witt
the following letter from the secretary
of the United Hatters:
Philadelphia, April Z, 1916.
Dear Sir and Brother-NNe are this
day forwarding you a few copies of the
News Post of Philadelphia, Pa, contain
ing an account of the reasons which
forced the employees of the John b. Stet-
son company of Philadelphia to rebel
against existing conditions in that fac
tory.
Over seven hundred of the John b.
Stetson company finishers are on strike
for over four weeks, and since this pa
per was issued several hundred women
in the trimming department have come
out in sympathy with them. The strik
ers were unable to get their case before
the public, all the Philadelphia paper
refusing to publish anything in connec-
tion with the strike in the John b. Stet-
son factory. In order to get their griev-
ances before the public, the strikers
bought out the News Post and the pa
per is now virtually owned by the strik.
ers, their leader being its business man
ager; the copies which were Forwarded
to you being the first under the new
management and is devoted almost ex
clusively to the trouble in the John II.
Steson factory.
For many years the Stetson company
has posed before the public as a model
employer, giving away every year large
quantities Of gold watches and turkeys
in the form Of Christmas presents,
which, in reality, We're paid for ten times
over by the employees. The new edition
of the News.Post clearly states Ne
grievances of the John b. Stetson com.
pany employees, and while they are not
members of the United Hatters of North
America, we would appreciate il very
much II You would give the matter as
much publicity as you can. so that the
public may know the true conditions ex-
isting in the John b. Stetson factory.
Fraternally yours,
UNITED HATTERS OF n. AMERICA,
MARTIN LAWLOR,
Secretary Treasurer.

/ the rules, the head OF the house hires
children from other families.
School Work Greatly Retarded.
| Many of the beet field children are
secured from Denver, and the teachers
say they come in from the fields so worn
out as to be unable to do satisfactory
studying and practically lose four
months of each school year, and these
children are kept in grades twice as long
as those who are able to attend regu-
larly.
One teacher in the Denver schools re-
ceived the following letter from n pupil
who had been hired from city family
to do work i IL the fields during the
summer:
Dear Teacher: 1t is rainy today so
could write you a letter. We was
working very, very hard the last two
weeks, and we did work last Sunday,
too. because beets grow so fast.
I'VE get up in the mornings 3 o'clock
every day and We work till ~ o'clock,
then we have our dinner about half an
hour and then we go to work till 1:l5,
so we worked about fifteen or sixteen
hours a day. o. it's too hardl / wish
didn't have to go any more to work
beets and could spend my time in school.
make my living to work so hard.
Walks Eighty Miles on Knees.
-Four of us work sixty acres OF beets
and in this month / have to walk on my
knees eighty miles. and thin the beets
at the same time, and to hoe that eighty
miles. it takes me to do it about thirty
four days. l get Sc an acre TO block and
thin. so / make 800. But it's too hard
to walk that eighty miles on your knees
on hot summer days. l get sleep about
six hours a day, and you know it isn't
enough for that kind of job.
"Soon as I lay in a bed I am sleeping
in about three minutes and never wake
up until our clock strikes to alarm.
am glad it's raining today so I could
rest a little. l am going to make our
dinner now and after dinner l am going
to sleep.
81 tell you everything about hard
work when l come to Denver"
The report of the national labor COM
mittee says that the children between
I and l5 employed yearly in the sugar
beet fields of Colorado, according to es-
Inmates made by the superintendent OF
schools, lose two or more school months
as a result.
The work the children do in pulling
and topping" the beets involves great
physical strain when continued for
twelve hours day thruout the harvest
ing season.

Thirty-five years ago last week old
Union No. ! was instituted. On Wednes-
day, April 6, the Journeymen Carpenters
of this city met in response to call
issued by Mr. Gabriel Edmonston in
Cosmopolitan hall, corner of Eighth and
L streets, for the purpose of considering
the advisability OF forming an organ-
ization to advance the interest Of the
craft. The meeting was called to order
and Brother Edmonston was elected
chairman and NJ. T. +. Henderson Sec
retary. After explaining the object of
the call, motion was made to enroll
the names of those who were in flvor
OF forming permanent organization
Fifty-three names were enrolled, lfter
which it was decided to meet again on
the following Wednesday night, April
l3, and carry out the purpose oi the
meeting. Before adjourning commit
tee composed of Messrs. John Rouse,
John Henderson, George w. Darby Ed
ward Wayson and David Gregg was ap-
pointed to notify the Master Builders
to expect that an advance OF wage,
would be requested and to govern their
estimates accordingly.
On the following Wednesday night, at
the same hail. permanent organic ton
was effected and the union fairly
launched into commission.
The officers elected were: President,
David Gregg; vice president, Gabriel Ed
monston; recording secretary, J. w.
Howard; sergeant alarms, A. S. Mar
tin At the meeting it was decided to
ask for an increase of 25 per cent in
the rate of wages. At subsequent meet
ings favorable responses were received
from the employers, according the
business of the request. Following the
increase of wages a corresponding re-
quest was made for a decrease in the
number of hours of work, which at that
time was ten each day.

In violation of the Colorado child la
Dor law and compulsory education laws
5000 children are worked in the beef
fields of the state during the growing
season. according to a report just made
public by the National Child Labor Com
mittee. School teachers of this state
and the national child labor committee
as well as other authorities, have beer
gathering information on this subject
for some years, a part OF which has beer
made into reports.
The committee declares that the chill
dren are overworked in the fields, sc
much so that their progress in their
studies is seriously hampered.
The children are used principally in
caring for the beets while they are
growing. The farmer who contracts
with the beet sugar factory to grow a
certain number of acres is told that he
must place a proportionate number of
persons upon the tract. If he has
twenty acres, he will require a certain
number of laborers; if forty acres, he
must have twice the number. The work
of thinning, cultivating, topping and ir-
rigatiny the beets is done by contract,
the head of family oeing paid GER
tain price ner acre-from SIS to $40
for the work
Sky Year-0ld Children Work.
Russian men usually contract to do
the work and when the farmer looks
about for some one to engage for the
summer, he inquiries for family with
the number of members to correspond
with that required for the work. Ordi-
narily, the contract is made for a faith
er. mother and children to make up the
required number.
The age of the children is said to be
taken into consideration under the con-
tract and those of tender years are not
expected to do any of the field work.
But the real working of the system is
declared both by teachers in the Denver
public schools and by others who have
investigated the matter, to be that the
children of six years are sent into the
fields. Those from eight to ten are said
to be employed constantly during the
wedding, thinning and topping seasons.
An Investigator states that he has
found the practice has been for work
to commence in the fields as early as
8 o'clock in the morning, when the first
of day begins to peep in from the East.
Seventeen Hours of Labor.
At o'clock the workers have break
fast, sometimes going to the Russian
house" for it and sometimes it being
served in the fields so that the labor
does not cease. Again at noon the work
ers are fed in the same way, being al
lowed a half hour for that purpose
They take their supper at about O'Clock
and return to their labors, staying out
in the fields until s o'clock at night
or even later.
The average hours of work for children
in the fields is declared to be about
seventeen during the busiest seasons.
One abuse of the system that inves
tigators say they have discovered results
in a charge of peonage This is that il
