DEPARTMENT OF LABOR
WON'T BREAK STRIKES

Washngton.-The United States De-
partment of Labor can not be used to
break strikes
This is the essence of statement
issued by Secretary of Labor Wilson to
all officers and employees of the depart
ment "who are connected in any way
with the work of labor distribution"
The former Secretary of the United
Mine Workers Union shows his is fully
alive to the purposes of the law creating
this department ito foster, promote and
develop the welfare of the wage carners
of the United States, to improve their
working conditions and advance their
opportunities for profitable employment"
lie says it is not deemed advisable to
publish or in any manner promulgate
information concerning workmen wanted
where strike exists or is threatened
and that the Department of Labor is all-
thorized to promote industrial peace
| rather than industrial disturbance. To
furnish information III times of strike,
he says, would be simply sending people
to places where there is already a suf-
ilcient supply of labor
when strike exists or is threatened
it is prima facie evidence that the work
ers who have had experience in that en-
ployment do not look upon it as being
profitable, and that they are persons
qualified to do the work is evidenced by
the fact that they have been doing it.
The Department OF Labor can not be
made the medium through which infor-
nation may be conveyed which may in
ducc workers to accept employment
where there is already a sufficient supply
OF labor and where the termination of
the dispute will either result in their
being dismissed from the service they
have accepted, or will leave other work
ers who have been on strike unemployed.
Nor can it be a party to inducing
men to accept employment where their
presence will act as disturbing rather
than peacc-making factor"

PITTSBURG'S "STRIP"
NEEDS PREPAREDNESS

Pittsburg, Pa.-The attention of a GER
tain class of preparedness advocates is
called to conditions in Pittsburg's
Strip" which has been surveyed by the
Christian Social Service Union.
Within this area Of three-ifths of a
mile, located between the Pennsylvania
Railroad yards and the Allegheny River,
$4,000 persons live A visitor to this
district can, according to Rev. X. Earl
Boyd, "see sin and shame and poverty
and cruelty; he hears the wall of the
wearied worker, the sob of the heart
broken mother, the cry of neglected chill
dren he smells the reek of congested
quarters, the stencil of stables and out
lawed wells; he tastes the CRIME and
dirt that he must inhale in breathing ; he
touches the springs of the district poll
tics and finds it corrupt machine"
In one school in this district fourteen
nationalities are represented with 71s
pupils. OF these, 80 per cent are of
South or Southeastern European nation
alities.
The United States Steel Corporation
has two plants in the Strip" and it is
stated that: "One thing notable is that
there is no provisions here by this cor
poration, as in some places, for lunch
rooms for the men" Outside of few
instances, the survey shows that, "in gen
eral, there is little sense of responsibility
for welfare shown in the policy Of the
industrial establishments"
Wages in this area are on par with
other conditions. In study of one
half block, in which 155 iron and steel
workers lived, it was found that the
average rate of wages per week is
$lo.5o; average part of time employed,
fourninths net average income per
week, $4.66.
In another block 33 families have 10
members and ia boarders in IN rooms
a total of 2s4 people, an average of 5B
rooms an d 8 All people per family
Among these were eight families keep
ing boarders in three-room apartments
and having 90 members and "a boarders
an average of 6H persons family, or
over two per room.

LEAVE
Denied Vincent Doty by Supreme
Court To File Petition i'm Error
Last Resort Fails.

Word from Columbus last Wednesday
night was to the effect that Supreme
Court Judge Newman, in chambers,
overruled the motion of Vincent Doty
for leave to file a petition in error in
his conviction for shooting to kill Fred
Miller, business agent of the painters
union, in Richelieu Hall, in January,
1915.
Doty was tried twice for the shooting,
At the first trial disagreement re-
suited, and this was followed by charges
that jurors had been tampered with
Investigations were started by Judge
Otway J. Cosgrave, then presiding in
Criminal Division, and by Prosecutor
Campbell, before the grand jury. Nci-
thcr developed anything of Importance
The second trial of Doty was before
Judge Max B. May and jury. He was
convicted and sentenced to the pcnitcn-
tiary. Court of Appeals later affirmed
this convection, and Attorney Raymond
Ratlif, for Doty, then sought the Su-
preme Court as a last resort. Assistant
prosecutor w. NJ. Locke handled the
prosecution.
Doty, with Herbert Doty, Gabriel Sui
livan, Edwary Parry and Edward Teet-
ers, was indicted for first degree muir
der Tor the killing Of James Shall, non
union painter, in Christ Hospital annex
December last Sullivan pleaded guilty
to second degree murder, admitting that
he fired the shot that killed Shall, and
he Is now serving a life sentence in the
Deritentiary. Herbert Doty was tried
twice for first degree murder, and ac-
three men still are awaiting trial, but
the charge against them was changed to
second degree murder.

GIRL CIGAR MAKERS STRIKE

Detroit, Mich.,-The strike of non
union cigar makers has spread to II
shops and now includes over 1000 en-
ployes, mostly women and girls, who
are demanding higher wages, abolition
of the fining system and the many
schemes by which they are compelled
to make cigars without pay.
The American Federation of Labor
the Ggarmakers' International Union,
and the local trade union movement are
giving these workers every possible aid
Several years ago a number OF cigar
companies formed combination to de-
wise methods to secure labor at the low
est possible cost This resulted in such
conditions that the executive council of
the A. +. of L., under instructions of
the Philadelphia convention, assigned
representative to investigate. 1t was
found that the companies started
school in which female students were
taught part of the cigar trade.
In order that the school might be self
supporting, they made it a cigar factory
and named it the Detroit Ideal Cigar
Company. Young girls were compelled
to sign an agreement to learn whatever
part of the cigar trade was assigned to
them, to work 35 days without pay and
to pay the company So in advance for
such instruction, besides furnishing their
own tools. If they could not pay $5 in
advance, they paid Sc in installments.
After SO days these girls were given
positions in the various factories. Here
they work six months for certificate
of 81 per week, payable at the expiration
of six months, on condition that they
work steadily during this time If an
employe, on account of illness or other
Interpretation, worked day less than
the time required, the company would
refuse to cash the ST. certificates.

the Bull Moosers, as we'll as the Demo-
Gratis, Daugherty fought in the front
trenches of the Republican party
Herrick's friends have claimed for
him that since he took no active part
in the 1912 campaign he incurred no
bitter enmities and, therefore, as con-
ciliator would be especially available as
a candidate
G. y. Taft Has Hand.
The friends of William H. Taft, led
by Taft's brother, Charles p. Taft, made
capital OF this argument by saying that
1t was the very reason why Herrick
should not be nominated. They declared
that. only a man who was right up in
front in 1912 deserved the nomination.
The central committee did not indorse
Governor Willis or any of the other
state candidates, but gave the executive
committee power to act in that respect.

Herrick Giuen Endorsement

County Republican Committee Act Recommendation

Myron T. Herrck, of Cleveland, for
mer Governor, was indorsed for the
United States Senatorship by the Ham
ilton County Republican Central Com
mttee late last Wednesday. The in
dorsement was recommended by the Re
publican Executive Committee after two
hours debate
The news of Herrick's Endorsement
was not pleasant to those of former
President Taft's friends, who had been
urging the committee to indorse the can
didacy of Harry Daugherty.
Daugherty was one of Taft's chief
supporters in Taft's second fight for the
presidency in 1912.
Refer to Old Fight.
Tafts friends have been declaring
that Daugherty deserved the indorse-
ment on the ground that when the Re-

CITY MUST INSURE EMPLOYEES.

Albany, n. Y. Attorney General
Woodbury. has ruled that New York
City employees, as well as those engaged
by the State in hazardous occupations,
must be insured under the Workmen's

calls for compensation insurance for all
employees performing the dangerous
tasks enumerated in the Compensation
Law, whether for the State, any of,the
