SHORTER HOUR TRIUMPH
BY GRANITE CUTTERS

Quincy, Mass.-The Granite Cutters
International Association has won a
quarter OF century fight for an eight
hour day, minimum wage of 81 and
tour hours on Saturday.
The latest report by International
President Duncan, of that organization,
shows agreements have been secured in
the following localities
One year-Denver, Col; Springfield,
H.; Washington, ID, c.; Havana, ILL., !;
Kingston, n. Y; Newark, n. J.; Olean,
n. Y; Rochester, n. Y.
Three years-Holyoke Mass F.: Lexing-
ton, Ky; Manchester n. H.; New Lon
don, Conn; Pittsburg, Pa Peekslill,
n. Y: Raleigh and Wilmington, n. c.
Four years-Concord, n. H.; Detroit,
Mich.
Five years-Stonc Mountain, Ga : At
lanta, Ga; Cape Ann, Mass; Fitchburg,
Mass: keenc, n. H.: Lithonia, Ga. !;
New Orleans, La. Sparata, Ga. Quincy,
Mass. (polishers); Quincy, Mass. (tool
polishers): Stony Creek, Conn; Water
ford, Conn. West Chelmsford, Mass.
Richmond, Va, partly
All of the above call for wage in
creases of Is cents a day, bringing the
minimum rate to 81, with forty-four-
hour work week, time and one-half for
any ordinary time worked, and double
time for Saturday afternoons, Sundays
and the established holidays
True to the traditions of trade union
ism, this splendid progress has had the
following effect on the granite cutters,
according to International President
Duncan:
"This lands us on breathing space in
our economic development, and our as
pirations and hopes for the future are
as keen for additional betterment, and
we are better equipped to command it
than when we were having day dreams
and slecpless nights two decades ago
laying out plans for this general round
up"

TRACK WALKERS CALLED OUT.
Tic-Cp of Boston d Maine Railroad
Operations May Result.

Boston, Mass, May 1G.-Approxi
matcly LOO track workers and fore
men Of the Boston & Maine Railroad
went on strike tonight for a wage in
crease of 20 cents day and a Saturday
half holiday, according to officers OF the
| international Brotherhood of Maintcn-
ance Of Way Employees A majority OF
the track workers now receive Is cents
IN hour.
The strike call was issued by a. f.
Barker, Of Detroit, International vice
president, who will direct the strike
from this city, with the assistance of NJ.
J. Powers, also an International vice
president.
Union leaders here asserted that 900
other workers, not affiliated with the
brotherhood, would strike tomorrow
that the maintenance of way department
OF the road would be completely tied up,
and at least 200 other workers would be
thrown out Of employment.
J. II. l1ustis, president of the Boston
& Maine system, said tonight that off
GERS of the road feel certain that enough
loyal track men and foremen remained
to prevent such tie-up as union men
predicted He added that no negotia-
tions could be entered into with the In
ternational Brotherhood because there
was a standing agreement with all the
roads employees, irrespective OF unions,
under which officials OF the company
and representatives of the men must dis
cuss all differences.

OPPOSE INJUNCTIONS.

Chicago Officers Of the State Feder-
alton of Labor have arranged for an
anti-inj unction conference OF Illinois
trade unionists, to be held in this city
May 2S, which will be attended by Presi-
dent Gompers. 1t is intended to start
a systematic publicity campaign to point
out the need for remedial legislation by
the State Legislature. Unionists declare
that
Court rulings in Illinois, particularly
in Injunction proceedings, have been
such as to jeopardize the very existence
of our movement in this State. Organ
lied workers are being denied the cxer-
else of their fundamental rights as
citizens. The prccedents established by
the Illinois courts in this respect are
even more vicious and dangerous than
those which governed the Federal courts
prior to the passage of the Clayton act" "

GOVERNOR FAVORS UNIONISM

Houston, TeXas.-In his address to the
Convention of the State Federation of
Labor Governor Ferguson reiterated
this statement made by him at Dallas
last Labor Day;
81 beseech and plead with every labor
ing man in the country to join some
union and let the union have the benefit
of his counsel and help. If he has more
ability than the average man, the union
will need the benefit of his counsel, and
he should join it for that reason. If he
should have less ability than the aver
age man, he had better get in and let the
union take care OF him"

Chicago.-Strikers at the Mccormick
plant of the international Harvester
Company his issued this appeal to strike
breakers:
1--WE know we are entitled to more
bread and to little more butter and to
more rest The terms offered us by the
company are not enough for decent
living, and wc-both men and women
reject them and stand for our just de-
mands.
"We are certain to win this battle un-
less you jobless ones take our places,
We appeal to you not to take our places,
Don't slave under old conditions. Wait
till we get better ones. Stay away from
our Jobs while we are striking"
