HERE AND THERE
RRANDEIs ON SUPREME BENCH

WASHINGTON,-President Wilson
has appointed Louis Brandeis associ
ate justice of the United States SUI
preme court to fill the vacancy
caused by the death of Associate JUS
tice Lamar. The appointment must
be approved by the senate, and will
first be considered by the senate com
mittee on the judiciary
The appointee is a Boston lawyer
and has attracted much attention be
cause of his activities on economic
issues and remedial legislation for the
workers. AS the result of the 1910
strike of $4,000 New York garment
workers he was appointed on the
board of arbitration which evolved the
protocol between the contending par
ties, and which continued in effect
until last summer when a threatened
strike forced employers to abandon
their attempt to violate the agree
ment.

MINERS WON'T AMALGAMATE

INDIANAPOLIS.-By a unanimous
vote the convention of the United
Mine Workers Of America decided
not to amalgamate with the Western
Federation of Miners.
This is in line with recommends
lions by a committee appointed by
the United Mine Workers Union to
consider the question of amalgama-
ton with the metal miners. The com
mittee pointed out that the work of
the two unions-from a practical
standpoint-is entirely different, and
that an amalgamation would weaken
both in their respective attempts to
organize the coal miners and the met
al miners In referring to the differ
ences between the two industries, the
report says:
1--WE point to the fact that while
the metal miner, like the coal miner,
is called upon to brave the dangers
of a common calling underground,
that the product of the metal miner
in nowise enters into competition
with that of the coal miner; in fact,
his relationship to the coal mining
industry is not so near, nor so i'm
portant in time of industrial strife, as
that of the men employed in the trans
portation industry, nor is his rela-
ton to us from a competitive stand
point so important as is that of the
men employed in the production and
marketing of oil and gas, and in the
plants and waterpower sites used to
generate electrical power. We cite
the foregoing in order to make plain
that coal mining and metal mining
are industries separate and distinct
so far as the competitive relationship
of their product is concerned"
The convention supports this rec
ommendation of its committee, which
also declares; "A continuation of our
present close relationship seems to
be all that is desired, and we so rec
ommend."
