Fear Economic and
Political Power
BY Lucien Saint

The biggest single fact in the la.
Dor world that is causing uneasiness
among The capitalistic interests at
Washington is the movement for the
eight-hour day on the railroads. The
politicians and the bankers know that
the railroad workers are deadly in
earnest. They know that together
with their economic power. springing
from their industrial organization.
they have great political power.
At this writing the Brotherhoods
are threatening the railroads with a
piece of radical safety legislation un.
less the carriers will meet their de-
mands outside of congress.
A report just issued by the Bureau
of Labor Statistics on the wages and
hours in the iron and steel industry
is being used by the Brotherhoods to
show that on an average the locomo-
tive engineers and firemen work long
er hours than the unskilled laborers
in the blast furnaces. This compari-
son is of especial interest because of
the movement for shorter hours for
railway employees and because of the
fact that hours of labor in the iron
and steel industry have long been rec
ognized as probably more severe than
in other basic industries.
Using tabulations from the actual
payrolls of western railways covering
10000 engineers and firemen as the
basis for the data for these railway
it appears that IS per cent.

the coal mines was killed in mine ac

| berWOrkerS. 1t was the mother local
and the International was framed in
that city. The organization of saw
mill workers had made greater strides
in Everett than in any other part Of
the state. Trouble which threatened
to involve several men in that city
was narrowly averted in 1914, result
of 1915 the shingle mill men declared
large milling interests. In the spring
open war upon the union, putting into
effect reduction in the wage scale
and posting open shop notices The
shingle Weavers refused to cOmpro-
mise their wage scale and the battle
was on in that city, quickly followed
by wage reductions in every part of
the state. Everett was the storm
center of the fight Bull pens were
erected around the plants, armed
thugs imported as guards, the usual
strikebrealling tactics employed. The
men established a picket line and
cOmmissary which for some weeks
STAYED off defeat. The tide turned
against the men with the issuance of
an injunction against the local union
from the superior court True, the
terms of the injunction were not Sc
we're, but it had the effect the mill
men wanted. The injunction did not
prohibit "picketine per Sc" but it pro
hibited any violence With a gang
of roughnecks employed by the com
panies, clashes between the men and
the guards were extremely hard to
prevent, though the strike up
until the injunction was issued was
REMARKABLY free from overt acts on the
part of the men. The injunction had
the moral effect it was intended to
have by the employers, it killed the
picket line, making it an easy matter
to bring strikebreakers in at will
The Everett weavers lost and the re-
suit was a general lowering of the
wage scale and a disintegration of the
union movement generally,
The officers of the international or
ganizatiOn have done heroic work in
the face of tremendous odds to keep
a semblance of an organization until
market conditions improved, giving
an incentive for reorganization work
and a restoration of the old union
conditions in that industry. Having
once enjoyed the benefits of Organi-
zaton, it is inconceiyable that the
shingle weavers cannot be reorgan-
lied when industrial conditions will
permit making the attempt and I .
know | speak the mind of this CON
vention in assuring the international
officers of the hearty support of this
Federation.
There are a few lessons to be drawn
from the struggle in that industry
which I am minded to point out at
this time.

LESSONS OF THE TlMsERWORK-
ERS' STRIKE

have touched before upon the ac-
tivit'as of certain extremists within
the organization. This noisy minor
ity was never entirely eliminated. At
one period a start was made toward
inaugurating the trade agreement pol
icy, agreements being signed up with
something like sixty employers
Twelve of the Everett mills worked
under a trade agreement for a period
of eighteen months with fair success,
despite the crudeness and newness of
the plan within the industry. 1t pro-
vided a method for settling disputes
without the cost and trouble always
res tant from strik es, Mill men did
not always live up to the strict terms
of the agreement, but neither did the
men. Instead of studying the trade
agreement plan used by many inter
nationals, and with great success, an
element among the weavers constant
ly fought the principle of trade agree
ments and magnified out of all pro
portion violations on the part of en-
ployers, minimizing just as flagrant
violations by the men Had the mill
men been willing to have renewed
the agreements in Everett at the time
of their expiration, it was rendered
impossible by the antagonistic spirit
developed within the union. "Syndi-
calsm" and direct action" We're fav-
orite topics of discussion and one
enthusiastic member organized a
military company" within the local
which met for time to study mill
tary tactics" Unquestionably this
program had a part in rendering the
movement ineffective to meet the
real test when it came The organiza-
tion was as a house divided against
itself and could not stand

GRANDMA USED SAGE
 TEA ID DARKEN HAIR
She made up mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur to bring back color

Common garden sage brewed into a heavy tea with sulphur and alcohol added, will turn gray, streaked and faded hair beautifully dark and luxuri- ant, remove every bit of dandruff, stop scalp itching and falling hair Just a few applications will prove a revelation if your hair is fading, gray or dry, scraggly and thin. Mixing the Sage Tea and Sulphur recipe at home, though, is troublesome. An easier way is to get the ready-to-u tonic costing about 50 cents a large bottle at drug stores, known as "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound" thus avoiding a lot of muSS.
 While wispy, gray, faded hair is not sinful, we all desire to retain our youthful appearance and attractive ness. By darkening your hair with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur, no one can tell, because it does it so naturally. so evenly. You just dampen a sponge or 1 soft brush with it and draw this through syour hair, taking one small strand at a time; by morning all gray hairs have disappeared. and, after an- other application or two. your hair becomes beautifully dark. glossy. soft and luxuriant
