OPPOSE STATE MERGER.

Springfield, Mass.-At an open meet
ing of the Central Labor Union unani-
nous protest was made against the pro-
posed consolidation of the State Depart
ment of Labor and Industries, the Mini
mum Wage Commission, the State Board
of Cancellation and Arbitration, and the
Industrial Accident Board. President
Wrenn of the local central body said:
Labor knows that the proposed meas
ure which will consolidate the foremost
important boards in the State is nothing
less than vcilcd attempt to nullify the
principal labor laws of Massachusetts.
Organized labor has worked too hard
and too long to see the fruits of its hui
manitarian legislation swept aside on the
pretense of economy. Any person fa-
miliar with the work which these boards
are doing in this State knows that they
should have their powers enlarged rather
than curtailed by consolidation"
Trade unionists in other sections of
the State are conducting a similar agi-
| tatiOn.

HLLEGAL" STRIKERS WIN.

Lcadvillc Col - Employees of the
American Smelling and Refining Com
pany have had their wages raised.
About month ago workers in the
Leadvillc and Pueblo plants of this COM
pany struck to enforce wage increase
of so cents a day. They ignored the
State law, which provides for thirty
days notice, and were threatened with
all sorts of dire things-including the
State militia-by Governor Carlson and
members of the State Industrial Com
mission, because they had "violated a
law" by quitting their employment.
Other officials offered saner counsel,
however, and the strikers returend to
work on a promise that their claims
WOuld be investigated.

ABANDON INSURANCE BILL.

Albany, N. " Senator Mills has
abandoned his bill providing for health
insurance for employees and has accepted
the suggestion of trade unionists that the
question be submitted to a special inves-
tigatng committee, which will inquire
into all matters concerning sickness and
accident not covered by the compensa-
ton law.
The Mills bill was championed by the
so-called American Association for La
Dor Legislation and was opposed by
President Gompers and the New York
trade-union movement. The organized
workers protested, among other things
against the compulsory vistations to the
homes of workers by State officials
