TART TALK AT CONFERENCE

New York.-At the public hearings
between railroad managers and their
train employees over the question of
eight hours and overtime in the
freight service, the workers repre-
sentatives, as usual. are proving quite
competent to defend their position,
whether it be by their facts or in
running discussion. This was shown
when President Stone of the engineers
said that many men never saw their
families except on Sundays. One of
the managers said these conditions
existed for years"
I'VE know it," said the engineer,
"and We want you to pay for it. This
is a case where the chickens come
home to roost The companies have
built up their schedules on long
hours"
But the men are getting fair
days wage" said General Manager
Lee of the Pennsylvania railraOd
And the companies are getting a
good days work." retorted Stone
Later on the Pennsylvania railroad
man said his side would have to look
at things pretty hard to get any con-
ISOLATION"
These demands were not intended
to give you any consolation" he was
told. They were intended to give the
men some consolation"
That's very clear, thank you." an
swered the railroad manager

OF UNIONIsM GAINS

Indianapolis.-"Th same bugaboo
that for long time hampered govern
ment clerks has handicapped the
formation of school teachers unions"
says the editor of the official journal
of the Bricklayers and Masons' Union.
Both held to the theory that theirs
was a profession, and felt that there
was a loss of dignity in allying them
selves with the ranks of union labor.
Both have paused under the dome Of
reflection and now realize the fact
that they are salaried employees, that
they are subject to the same economic
forces that regulate the wages of the
carpenter, the bricklayer, the crafts
man of all trades and callings, and
both are realizing as never before that
dignity is added to their calling by
placing themselves in the ranks of
unionism and not trying to pose as a
class apart from the operation of
economic principles"

rs HELLO GIRLS RISK LIVES
AT POST DURING FIRE

Seventy-five girl telephone operators
in the Harlem Telephone Exchange, at
1913 East 124th street, stuck to their
posts when huge volumes of smoke
from a fire next door poured in upon
them
The fire was in the warehouse of
Deutsch Brothers, furniture dealers, at
1877 and 129 East 124th street, on the
ground floor of a three-story brick
building 1t was first noticed when
smoke issued from rear windows and
was blown into the adjoining build
ing, where the telephone operators
were at work. One of the girls i'm
mediately called fire headquarters
Another closed the windows, and there
was no interruption of telephone ser
vice

3. When people say BE patriotic,

4. Germany could not come over

5. She and all other nations are

UNIQUE COMPENSATION
AWARD

Referee Champion of the Pennsyl-
vania state compensation board has
ruled that a child yet unborn, is en-
titled to compensation benefits. The
award will begin at the birth of the
child and continue until it is 16 years
of age.
The father of the unborn child was
killed January IS on the dock on the
Williamsport Coal Company At the
time of his death he was receiving a
weekly wage of $3.50. Referee Cham
pion rules that from the birth of the
child and until 300 weeks afterward,
the widow and child are to receive
$8.41, or As per cent of the dead
fathers wages. At the end of the
Booth week, the child itself is to re-
ceive $3.50 a week, or Is per cent of
it's fathers wages, until it becomes
16 years old.
The referee took the position that
the child is legally in being and en-
titled to consideration the same as a
born child.

May Arrest Burns in
Wire Case
District Attorney Expected to
Issue Warrant After Seymour
Signs Formal Complaint

William J. Burns, foe of labor and
friend to himself-a pretty good
friend, too-may have a chance to see
what a police court looks like from
the other side. It seems that at least
a temporary check will be put upon
that gentleman's activities in behalf
of J. p. Morgan e Co., which so far
have consisted Of breaking into of
tices, installing telephone taps and
detecta-phones, rifling desks, and
copying private letters.
The star detective, long the white
haired boy of the National Erectors'
Association and other labor-hating or
ganizations, is the subject of a com
plant drawn up yesterdty afternoon
in Chief Magistrate McAdOo's office.
Frederick Seymour, whose office tele-
phone was tapped, announced that he
would sign the complaint, and James
M. Beck, counsel to Burns, was cour-
teOusly notified to have bonds ready.
James NJ. Beck is one Of the gentle
men who are still excited because the
United States did not go to war after
the sinking of the Lustania. In that
case there would have been more war
orders for Morgan, Burns employer.
It is expected at the office of the
district attorney that a warrant for
the arrest of Burns will be issued this
morning The complaint to be signed
by Seymour charges copying and
publishing" private papers from the
latter's office. Seymour was expected
at Swanns office yesterday, but could
not reach it in time to have the war
rant issued and the arraignment take
place, before Chief Magistrate Nc
Adoo had adjourned court for the day.

OLINGER FOR CONGRESS

Brother R. j. Olinger of the Elec-
trical Workers has been nominated by
the Socialist party of Washington
through a referendum vote of the en-
tire membership for congress to repre-
sent the Second congressional district.
Brother Olinger's record as union
man is clear cut on the issue of decent
living conditions for the working
class. He has never yet been accused
of non-union conduct. He is always
to be found on the firing line of labor
in a skirmish with the boss.
The fights Brother Olinger has had
with the masters of industry are too
numerous to mention, and although
the Journal is non-committal in poll
tics, we predict that should he be re-
turned to congress, he will prove the
most valuable asse; that organized
labor has ever had in any legislative
body.
He is master of wit and logic, has
a keen perception, an unerring judg-
mtnt and an answering determina-
t;Cn to fight for labor's freedom, and
we believe the cause of labor will be
advanced a thousand fold should labor
decide to send him to congress.
Here's success to Brother Olinger."

Stevenson and John Clark, members
of the Shingle Weavers' Union, who
were peaceably picketing in front OF
the Tower hotel on Hewitt avenue

derly conduct.
An automobile, in which were New
ton Jones, an eX-mayor and a member
of the civil service commission, and
two strike breakers, one of which was
the now famous Bill Wildes, who was
arrested and fined 800 and costs for

porarily for some unknown reason in

alleged by the Weavers, Bill Wildes,
sitting in the front seat, drew gun
at one of the strikers who happened
to be near at the time. John clark
Immediately went in search OF
policeman, met Patrolman Sykes and
told him the case and wanted him to
arrest Wildes. In the meantime Bill
Wildes had shifted his seat to the
rear of the automobile, dropping the
gun on the floor. Patrolman Sykes
asked Bill Wildes if he had gun, and
Wildes replied mo but the Weavers

Indianapolis. - General President
Tobin of the Brotherhood of Transfers
has received the following letter from
A. NJ. Zieler, - Charles street. New
York City:
Dear Sir-No doubt you will be
surprised to hear from me. If you
can remember the last of April, when
you were on your way East, I was
employed by the Pennsylvania Rail
way Company as steward on the din
ing car, and we had a talk regarding
the time stewards have to work and
the reason they could not organize
We'll some passenger heard me
tell you the condition of things and
wrote to G. w. Boyd, general pas
senger agent of the company at Phila-
delphia The latter said was not
loyal to the company because l told
some labor agent all the details of
the dining car department, as to the
hours they worked their men and the
reason they could not organize.
We'll, the answer is, I am fired,
otherwise canned from the job The
reason I wanted you to know this was
/ thought you might give it to some
papers, 1t would make a good story "

Everett ShingIe Weavers
Arrested On False Charge
Chief KELLY and his TOOLS TAKE SIDE
OF Mill OWNERS TO BREAK STRIKE

insisted it was on the floor of the
auto, where it was found, between
Wildes' feet. The officer picked up
the weapon and was in the act of
placing it back in the automobile
when Clark insisted that the officer
retain the weapon to be used as evil
dence against Wides. The patrolman
told Clark that he was talking too
much and, placing the Weavers under
arrest, told them to get in the auto
and drive down to the police station.
Arriving at headquarters, some pc
culiar things happened. Chief Of
Police Kelly and Newton Jones went
into a private room for conference,
the Shinele Weavers say, and De-
tective Wells, who was acting as desk
sergeant at the time, demanded that
the Weavers put up $40 bail each, but
allowed Newton Jones to bring Wildes
and Sabin on his own word without
bail to appear at police court Thurs
day morning.
At the trial before Judge Dootson
on Thursday morning it was shown
there was no evidence to warrant
their arrest on a disorderly conduct
charge and the case against the
Weavers was dismissed, Attorney
Daley conducting the defense for the
Weavers in very able, manner.

CHINA rs TAKING OVER
IT'S TELEPHONE LINES

Peking,-Even old-fashioned China
knows enough to own and operate its
telegraph system, and it is rapidly
taking over its telephone lines, too,
Very few private telephone companies
are left in this country, and these will
soon be acquired by the government.
The surprising thing is that the
systems are not only efficiently ad-
ministered, but that, in addition, they
Weld excellent profits The receipts
from the telegraph last year were
S.. 1000. 900, nearly $1,000,000 in excess
of expenditures. Rates for sending
telegrams are very low.
