RESIST INJUNCTIONS"
CRY ILLINOIS WORKERS

Chicago.-1he executive board of the
Chicago federation of labor declares that
government by injunction is abominable
and free men and women will resist to
the last ditch before they will surrender
to such a heinous invasion of their
rights" The unionists say that present
injunctions are more vicious and far
reaching than any Of the past njunctions
issued at the behest of big business.
"To show how absolutely these courts
do the bidding OF the employers, we
would refer to the tanncry workers,
where the injunction prevented the Pol
ish Peoples Publishing company praoti-
cally from circulating their daily news
paper among the strikers, and when this
matter was brought to the attention of
the judge who issued the injunction he
said he did not know that was there,
because he did not read the Injunction.
"Thc injunction now being issued by
our courts generally carry the following ::
From attempting by payment or prom
isc OF money, employment or other re-
ward, 10 induce employees of the com
planant TO leave their employment
'ln other words, we cannot pay strike
benefits, feed hungry strikers and their
families or secure employment for them
elsewhere, but we must leave them &c
the tender mercics OF the complainant
until they are starved into submission
1T is needless TO say that this is not
law, but the most malicious and unwar-
ranted distortion Of law. No act of our
legislature ever conferred upon our
courts such rights, nor never intended
that our courts would permit them
selves to be used so shamelcssly in twist
ing our laws from their intended pur-
pose and denying working men the
rights guaranteed under the constitu-
tion"

American and Mexican
Unionists Meet
Pledge Their Faith to International Harmony and
The Workers Cause

Washington, July s.-Last Monday
representatives OF the American and
Mexican trade union movements met in
this city and pledged their faith to in
ternational harmony and the workers
cause. II was the first meeting of its
kind ever held.
Those present, and who signed the
declaration embodying these views, were
the executive council of the American
Federation OF Labor and the following
representatives of the Mexican work
ers G. Loyeira, Batazar Pages, L. N.
Moroncs, ). Gonzalo Garcia and Ed
mundo f. Martinez.
The meeting was the outgrowth of
a suggestion made by President Com
pers to the Mexican trade union move
ment, several weeks ago, that con
ference be held at FL Paso, Texas, be
tween representatives of the workers of
both countries for the purpose of dis
cuSsing questions OF mutual interest and
Strengthening fraternal ties
Later it was decided to meet III Wash
ington. The first conference, July T.,
was devoted chiefly to explanations and
discussion necessary TO mutual under
standing. The following Monday prac-
teal suggestions for immediate prob
lens were considered and declarations

CENTRAL BODIES PRAISED.

Vancouver, b. C.-ln urging trade un-
ions to affiliate to the local trades and
labor council, the b. c. Federationist
says:
"The work performed by a central
labor body is seldom appreciated by
the average trade unionst. Its rani-
iications are such that few save the
executive board members have any
idea of the amount of work and the
varied number of questions which
have to be dealt with in the course of
a month. Frequently the unions which
pay the least heed to the value of a cen
tral labor body, or kick because of some
of its actions, are the very first to seek
its assistance when they get into trouble,
either lcgslatively or with employers,
That many men outside the trade un-
ion movement recognize the need and
function of central labor body is cvi-
dcnccd by the fact that when some deal
or question comes up which threatens
the best interests of the community, the
first organization they think of appeal
ing to for assistance or publicity is the
central labor body"

STRIKE; FINE THEMSELVES.

Roslyn, Wash-Unon miners en-
ployed by the Northwestern Improve
ment company suspended work in vio-
lation of their agreement. The men de-
manded the discharge of mine fore
man who was discovered placing rocks
in the car of miner in order to have
an excuse to discharge him.
The mine management agreed that the
foreman was guilty and discharged him.
The victimized miner was reinstated
with full pay for lost time.
The company then demanded that the
miners be penalzed for violating their
agreement. The workers agreed that
the company's position was correct and
they voted to fine themselves 81 each the
money to be turned over to the commit

This was satisfactory to the company
and the men returned to work,

CLEAR TERMS DEMANDED.

San Francisco.-The editor of the San
Francisco Bulletin refuses to use terms
by which anti-unionists may conceal
their opposition to organized labor. He
insists that employers use correct terms
and when they refer to the "open shop
they should say what they mean-non-
union shop.
The San Francisco chamber of com
merce has declared for the open shop,
and the Bulletin says:
"The chambers position is necessarily
partisan, and it is not fair to expect it
to assume judicial position. 1t is fair,
however, to expect something more
frank than "A declaration for the open

either the workingman has a powerful
voice in shop control or he has no voice

GAINS IN NOVA SCOTIA.

OF Cancellation, appointed by the govern
mcnt under the industrial disputes and
investigation act, has reported in favor
of the unorganized employees of the
Acadia Coal Company, who suspended
work several weeks ago to enforce a
higher wage scale. On the advice of \.
+. of L. Organizer Dane they applied
for a board of conciliaton under the
Lcmicux act and the trade unionist pre-
sented their case to the board, which de
cided in favor of substantial wage in

employed in the vicinity of Stellarton,
where the coal company's mines are To-
Gated, and Organizer Dane is hopeful
that many of these employees will join

TOWERMAN TELLS
OF SMALL WAGES
In Testimony Before Mediation
Board--Says He works 365 Days
To Earn 500 u Month

New York.-Why the New York Cen
trail Railroad telegraphers and signal
men decided to strike for a shorter
workday and more wages was told here,
July II, by F. P. Fraleigh, of Pough-
keepsie, n. Y, tower signal man for
twenty-four years, before the Federal
Board of Arbitration, which is trying
to prevent a clash.
Fraleigh declared he must work 365
days a year to earn 500 month. Other
signal men, he said, are forced to do
other work to make ends meet.
The witness declared he had not taken
vacation since 1907, when he collapsed
from working twelve hours a day. He
said that his wife is forced to work as a
nurse.
A. S. ingalls,, of Cleveland, o., repre-
senting the railroads at the hearing,
asked l'raleigh what would happen if
a signal man fell asleep at his post.
"Would an accident result" he in
quired
"NIaybe and maybe not" was Fra
legh's reply. But | can answer from
the New York Central's rules. They
require train crew to stop if signal
man is not on the job and find out if
he is asleep, sick or dead. If the man
is incapacitated the crew must leave a
man in the tower"

Five of the ten larger tailoring houses
and several of the smaller ones affected
by the strike of the Cutters Local 100
of the Garment Workers Union, which
went into force last Tuesday morning,
Monday signed agreements complying
with the demands of the strikers. AS
result about Is of the 225 cutters were
back at work before the close of the
day, according to statement made by
"Doc" Steppler, President of the local
The larger houses signing the agree
ment are said to be the g. II. Verkamp

The larger wholesale manufacturers
OF mems garments, using the union label,
are still holding out They include the
Moch-Berman Company, Geiershofer
Clothing Company, Heldman Clothing
Company, Pettibone Company, Fech
hcimer Company and Levi & Schild.
The employees of the union label
houses were in conference last Mon
day afternoon Julian Schild, of the
Heldman Company, said the only points
standing in the way of an agreement are
those relating to the elimination of the
filters apprenticeship and the abolish
ment of the practice of cutting several
styles of cloth at the same time.
1--WE are entirely willing to grant the
increased wage demands" said Mr.,
Schild, "but we can not see our way
clear right now to granting the other
demands To do so would tend to han
dicap us in our efforts to compete with
the houses of other cities"
Fight to Finish.
President Steppler of the Cutters
Local said:
'We are prepared to fight to finish,
We are only averaging about four
months work out of the year, and this
is largely due to the practices now fol-
lowed by the manufacturers in cutting
many different styles at one time.
81 do not expect the strike to last over
ten days, and | hope to see it settled
by Saturday. If the union label houses
do not sign up by Thursday we will
place men with banners in front of their
retail clothing stores The overall cut
ters will be called out at that time. This
will automatically throw LOO girls out
because of lack of material. The larger
union label houses have only sufficient
material cut to run few days at the
most If the strike is not settled before
the close of the week there will be be-
tween $500 and $500 garment workers
idle"

The Republican party has selected
standard-bearer whose utterance.
from day to day justify the people
who chose him. Not only does he
bring before the country the short
comings of the Administration that
owes it's existence to a divided Re
publicanism, but his criticism is every
where constructive.
He tells what must be done and
will be done by the party he repre-
sents to prevent wastefulness and
extravaganza in the governmental
expenditures and to put stop to the
other nations to believe that the
United States has no intention of
backing up it's demands made in the
interests of justice and humanity.
Most vulnerable of all points in the
Democratic armor is its foreign pol
icy. Primarily this is because of the
spoils system by which men trained
in the consular and diplomatic serv-
ice through long years, have been
displaced to make room for poll
ticians and friends of politicians,
whose sole claim to preferment was
their service to the Democratic party.

which must be maintained in order
that this republic shall maintain it's
