Girl Cigar Makers Strike.

Detroit Mich, July 28. The
strike Of non,union cigar makers
has spread to II shops and now in
cludes over 1000 employees, mostly
women and girls, vino are demand
ing higher wages, abolition Of the
hning system and the many schemes
by which they are compelled TO
make cigars without pay.
The American Federation Of La
Dor, the Cigarmakers' International
union and the local trade union
movement are giving these workers
every possible aid
Several years ago a number of
cigar companies formed a combina-
ton to devise methods to secure
labor at the lowest possible cost.
This resulted in such conditions
that the executive council of the
Philadelphia convention, assigned
a representative to investigate. 1t
was found that the companies
started a school in which female
students were taught part of the
cigar trade.
In order that the school might
be self-supPorting, they made it a
cigar factory and named it the De
troit Ideal Cigar company. Young
girls we're compelled to sign an
agreement to learn whatever part
of the cigar trade was assinged to
them, to work 80 days without pay
and to pay to the company So in
advance for such ms ruction, be
sides furnishing their own tools.

Department of Labor
Won't Break Strikes

Washington, July 28.-The
United States department of labor
cannot be used to break strikes.
This is the essence of a statement
issued by secretary Of Labor Wilson
to all officers and employees of the
department who are connected in
any way with the work of labor
distribution.
The former secretary of the
United Mine Workers union shows
he is fully alive to the purposes of
the law creating this department,
to foster, promote and develop
the welfare of the wage earners of
the United States, to improve their
working conditions and advance
their opportunities for profitable
employment. .
He says it is It deemed advis
able to publish or in any manner
promulgate information conc erning
workmen wanted where a strike
exists or is threatened, and that
the department of labor is author
lied TO promote industrial peace
rather than industrial disturbance
To furnish information in times OIL
strike, he says, would be simply
sending people from where there /:
surplus of labor to places where
there Is already a sufficient supply
Of labor
When strike exists or IS threat
ened it is prima facie evidence tha
the workers who have had expert
ence in that employment do no
look upon it as being profitable
and they are persons qualified to d,
the work is evidenced by the fac
that they have been doing it.
The department of labor canno
be made the medium through
which information may be convey
ed which may induce workers t.
accept employment where there i
already sufficient supply of labor
and where the termination of th,
dispute will either result in thei
being dismissed from the servic,
they have accepted, or will leav
other workers who have been OF
strike unemployed,
Nor can it be party TO Undue
ing men to accept employment
where their presence will act as
disturbing ratLer than peace
making factor

Compensation Bill
Is Passed BY HsuSH

Washington, July 28.-Work
men compensation for federal en-
plsyment was approved by the
house by a majority of 2S6 to 3.
Two negative votes were cast, by
Congressman Cannon of Illinois
and Dies of Texas. Congressman
Stephens of Mississippi was paired
against the bill. Mr.. Cannon said
the proposed law was a pension
and not compensation, because 1t
did not provide for the employe
contributing towardt he compensa-
ton fund. When his attention
was called to his own state, which
makes no such provision, he insist
ed that contributions should be
made by employees.
This measure, introduced by
Congressman McGillicuddy, pre-
vides for compensation to all in
iured federal employees at the rate
of two-thirds the wages lost during
disability, with a maximum of
500 81 mouth and not less than
/ S33. 33 unless the employe is paid
less than $33.33, in which case he
shall receive full pay.
In case of death the widow re-
ceives 35 per cent. of the monthly
pay and 10 per cent. additional fol
each dependent child under Is
same to continue unlil death OF
remarriage.
In the senate compensation bill
introduced by Senator Switzerland
has beea favored by the judiciary
committee, which reported that 4
government should be wiling K
deal with those who do its work al
generously as 1t compels private
employers to deal with those whc
do their work"
This legislation was first urged
by the American Federation 0
Labor and a bill covering thi
question was introduced eigh
years ago at the request of organ
lied labor.
The present federal compensa
tion law applies to about one
fourth of the 400, 900 federal en-
ployes and covers only those en-
gagged in hazardous occupations
For an accident happening in al
occupation deemed to be non
hazardous there is no way of OBJ
tanning relief except by a specia
act of congress. In the presen
congress alone nearly 300 bills hav
been presented for relief.

Railroad Employees Getting
Together,

St. Louis, Mo. July .. In a
bulletin issued by the order Of
Railroad Telegrapbers, affiliated to
the A F of l., President Perham
states that As schedules, carrying
increased wages and improved
working conditions, have been sue
cessfully negotiated during the past
six months. Some Of the largest
trunk lines in the United States
and Canada are included in the
list.
According to President Perham
the Co operative movement between
the various railroad organizations
has increased during the year. The
telegraphers have joined with the
four train service brotherhoods and
the International Brotherhood of
Maintenance-of-W Way Employees in
an agreement for mutual protection
and the Brotherhood of Railroad
Signalmen has instructed It's exc
cutive board to initiate a similar
movement with the telegraphers.
These incidep.s are proof that
railroad employees in every branch
of the service are quietly getting
together without bombast or
screechiug publicity.
The fraternity that prevails
among these railroad men extends
to other workers, as is indicated by
President Perham S reference to the
struggles of the Commercial Tele-
graphers' union against the West
ern Union and Postal Telegraph
companies. He urges all railroad
telegraphers to exert themselves
to do everything possible for the
welfare of our allies and friends in
the commercial service.
