Ask Better Ventilation.

Los. Angeles, Cal, July 7.-The
Moving Picture Operators lion
has inaugurated compaign for
better ventilation for its members
while working,
1T is indeed a dificrlt matter,
says President Harden, to explain
to the layman the dangers Of badly
ventilated and uasanitary operat-
ing rooms, for few, if any. of the
motion picture patrons have the op-
portunity or inclination to visit the
workshop of the man behind the
gun-the man who daily sits hour
after hour in a little cubby hole
and causes the picture to flicker
across the screen. The high rates
charged Us by the insurance com
panies, however, should be abso-
lutte proof of the hazardous nature
of our work.
Already we have had two deaths
in our organization as a result of
the confinement under which our
men must labor, and we are at the
present time paying sick benefits
in an effort to combat further fatal
tiles There are also several Of our
members who, while being in no
immediate danger are, nevertheless
being constantly treated for afflic-
ton of the lungs, caused by the
poisonous gases arising from the
burning carbons of the arc lamps.
1t is to alleviate conditions such as
these that we are pleading for bet
ter air in which to work.

Employers recently urged the state

Marirette, Wis, July BE
cause employees of the Boreal Glove
company organized a Glove Work
ers' union, sevearl of the more ac-
tive of these trade union girls were
discharged A strike of over 200
employees was the result. A local
paper printed this contradictory
statement by the mana ~er.
81 do not know the reason for
the strike. No demands have been
made TO me, nor has there been
any complaints. I do not under
stand the action and am very sorry
1t has happened. The workers de-
mand that | apologize TO one of the
girls for whom / could no longer
6nd work. .
Later the girls notified the com-
pany that they would not return to
work until a living wage was
granted. This caused the manager
to demand police protection, which
was promised whenever pec-
essary.

RAILWAY SITUATION.
Questions In Dispute Will Probably
Be Settled Without Strike.

Questions In Dispute Will Probably
Be Settled Without Strike.
The representatives of the railroads
and the brotherhoods, in conference
in New York, have failed to agree, but
1t is hardly true to say that a dead
lock has been reached, says the In
dianapolis News Statements issued
by both sides indicate that no final po-
sition has been taken The general
demands Of the unions are based on
an eight hour day, with time and
half for overtime. The railway man
ayers reply refused double compensa-
ton for employees doing different
classes of service the same day. This
point was insisted upon by the broth
erhoods. But for this it is possible
that tentative agreement might have
been reached, although it is not under
stood that the railroads would yield
on the eight hour day and time and a
half for overtime demands. They
merely indicated that it was possible
to use the terms as the foundation for
a compromise. 1t appears that the
brotherhoods expected the railways to
present a compromise plan, but none
was forthcoming. The brotherhood
representatives desire further instruc-
tion from the membership, and nego-
tiations have been suspended.
These conferences may result in
bringing before congress at its next
session, If not at the one now drawing
to close, the whole question OF rail
way rate and wage control by the
government The railroads have sug-
gested that the issue be taken to the
interstate commerce commission and,
recognizing that the commission might
be powerless open the way for
joint appeal for legislative change to
make such settlement possible The
unions have declined TO make the in
terstate commerce commission "a tri-
bunal for the disposal OF questions Of
wages"
A. b. Garretson, head of the con
ductors' brotherhood, has made
statement calculated to correct an i'm.

A grand jury at Tiffin. Ohie,
has indicted David P. Graham and
Gus Peterson, strike guards, for
second degree murder. They are
held responsible for the death of
Albert Latonia, a striker at the
plant of the Webster Manufactur
ing Company, whose iron molders
are on strike to enforce better
working conditions. The grand
jury recommended the withdrawal
of imported guards at the plant aud
their replacement with not to ex-
ceed three local men.
Striking employees of the Stetson
Hat Company at Philadelphia have
voted to return to work, accepting
the agreement made possible by
Robert McWade, representing the
Federal Department of labor. The
strike started March 16 and was

satisfaction because of working con-
ditions. About 1000 employees are
directly involved The company

receive committees to adjust griev-
ances. AS an Indication of condi

sident Cummings of the company

EVads Eight-Hour Law.

Baltimore, Md, July THE
eight hour law for city employees
is being violated in the municipal
parks and the tr9de union move
ment, as is usual in these cases, is
demanding the laws enforcement.

Wilson Ready To
Fight.


Washington, July Z delivering
the chief address at the exercises
marking the dedication of the new
home of the American Federation
of Labor Tuesday, President Will
son reiterated his declaration that
he is in a fighting mood"
"The way we strive for our
rights is to get our fighting blood
up, said the President, aud he was
believed to be referring to the pre-
sent Mexican situation. If you
come at me with your fists donbled
up you will find mine doubled up
just as quickly.
The Presidents address was
marred by the attempt of hand
some young suffragist to heckle
him, The President bad just ex-
pressed thought that his chief de-
sire is to serve the people when the
young woman, whose identity
could not be learned, shouted:
"If you really want to serve the
people, Mr. President you should
come out for the Susan B. Anthony
amendment "
Secret service men quickly
reached the woman side and she
subsidized aud the President went on
with his address.
PLAN OTHER SCENES.
Woman suffragist plan a series
of scenes similar aud will deliber-
ately harass public speakers
throughout the coming campaign.
Miss Alice Paul, Chairman of the
Woman Congressional Union, an
nounced following the Presidents
address.
We are determined to keep the
suffrage question before the coun-
try at anv cost, said Miss Paul.
The suffragette who attempted
to call the President to account on
the issue was Mabel Vernon of Ne
vada, Chairman of the suffrage
Campaign Committee for the West
ern States, it was learned following
the exercises.
The President continued: IF
you do not desire to see any other
man pat upon.
No man is true American who
does not realize that all the objects
of our national life are common OBJ
jects and not separate objects. 1t
takes a multitude of minds to COM
prehend the United States, and
that is the reason that I think
building like this should be devoted
to the processes which pcol our un
delstandings. Nobody has got
enough by hims If to run the
country"
The President dedicated the new
home of organized labor to com
mon counsel and common under
standing
Referring to the labor movement
he expressed the wish that the
legitimate objects of the great la
Dor movement should be achieved.
He added: The great difficulty
about the relationship between cap
ital and labor is this:
Labor is an immediate contact
with the task itself, with the work,
with the conditions of the work,
with the tools with which 1t is done,
and the circumstances under which
they are used; whereas, capital in
TOO many instances is at a great re-
move 1t is owned and controlled
by many who have not taken the
pains to go and see the workers at
their work and know just what the
circumstances are, and the thing
most to be desired is that capital
should be humanized by being
brought into comprehending con
tract with the conditions of labor. .
The President said he would feel
sorry fer any President of the Uni
ted States who did not recognize
the labor movement, for his failure
to do SO would prove that he was
back number.
