Molders' Strike

After presenting their demands for
an eight-hour day, which were granted
in all the larger shops, Iron Molders'
Local No. 15S was compelled to call
about 25 men on strike in some of the
smaller shops of the city as a result
of the refusal of their proprietors to
accede to the shorter work day. Near
ly $50 members are working, and it
is expected those on strike will be
back at work in the very near future.
Competent mechanics are scarce in
the iron trades, and there is demand
for men at Anaconda, Mont, and other
eastern points which will be filled
from the ranks of the strikers if their
employers do no act quickly. This
will be a big loss to these employers,
as their men cannot easily be re-
placed, even after settlement of the
strike.
1t is usual for the small shop to
grant the demands of the union and
for the larger shops to hold out, but
employers in Seattle have apparently
got things inverted, or what is more
likely, the smaller men have not yet
awakened to the fact that the en-
ployers' association is down and out.

Collective Agree
rnent in Mems
Clothing Industry

Collective agreements in the mems
clothing industry is the title of Bulle-
tin 1913, just issued by the Bureau of
Labor Statistics. The study is pre-
sented in two parts, Part l. being con-
fined largely TO a formal account of
the experience of Hart, Schaffner &
Marx and their $500 employees in de-
veloping a working scheme of peaceful
negotiation which constitutes a COM
plete system of mediation and arbitra-
ton, through which hundreds of diff
ferences have been settled, while
Part II. gives agreements of labor
unions with associations of manu-
facturers and individual employers.
Between April l, 1912, and June /,
1914, 1401 complaints arising between
the employees of Hart, Schaffner &
Marx and the company were adjusted.
OF these complaints, 117S, or S4 per
cent, were adjusted through mediation
by deputies; 2O6, or 14.7 per cent, were
referred by the deputies to the trade
board, which is the original tribunal
for arbitration and final adjustment
by it,, II, or 1.2 per cent, were re-
ferred for final adjudication to the
board of arbitration or to its chairman
Under the labor agreements of the
company every sort of grievance has
been remedied without any Interrupt
tion to the company's business; every
sort of wage adjustment has been
made, and wide differences of Onion
have been reconciled These diff
ferences of opinion have arisen as re
CARDS the exercise of the company's
right to discharge union employees
and of its right to employ non-unior

The Miners Union
Grows by Leaps

District Secretary Short and Presi-
dent Flyzik addressed rousing mass
meeting of mine workers in the Cum
berland field last Sunday evening. The
meeting was held under the auspices
of the Cumberland Local Union at
Walkers Hall, with Robert Blakeley
presiding. 1t was the largest meeting
that was ever held at Cumberland in
a number of years. Over 100 new
members were initiated into the
miners nion.
The Bayne mine was represented by
the largest number of men; that is
due principally to the fact that there
are a greater number of men en-
ployed there, The Navy mine had a
fairly good representation at the
meeting, too, and the Hydes mine
turned out almost to a man.
This practically leaves 100 per cent
organization in the Durham and Cum
berland field.-Seattle Union Record

PLEA MADE LABOR'S
CHIEFS WHICH BROUGHT
END TO THE STRIKE

Following is copy of the plea sub
mitted to Messrs. e. p Marsh and J.
G. Brown:
"Inasmuch as we believe you were
moved by a deep sense of the serious
ness of the situation now existing in
Everett, to have invited US, among
others, into your conferences, and be-
lieving any act on the part of any
body of men in the city looking to-
ward a peaceful settlement of the diff
ficulties would be a commendation of
to them in the eyes of the public, and
committing ourselves to give full pub
licity to such action, and believing
firmly in the honesty and good will of
employers of our city towards labor
in the future and unreservedly recon-
mending it to you, and believing that
the avowed removing of pickets and
declaring the strike ended would
greatly, if not wholly right the diff
culties locally, and commend you as
those taking the initiative in this to
this whole city. We therefore ask in
view of all this you do so remove
pickets and call off the strike, believ-
ing thereby you are not conceding
your cause, but winning victory of
even material value.
Gentlemen, knowing that the pub
lie has already been appraised of our
conference and feeling that the eyes
of the city will be centered upon us
and you for what we do or fail to do, we
feel bound to give our actions in full
to the public through the press. We
declare ourselves wholly impartial, be-
lieving that neither side is so right
that it dares to be dogmatic nor either
so faulty as not to deserve an honest
consideration, we make our plea in
the interest of labor, of capital-of
life-of home and city.

LABOR DOES NOT FAVOR "ONE-MAN'
IDEA OF INDUSTRIAL INSURANCE BOARD
BY E. P. Marsh.

After a ten months investigation of
the State Industrial Commission,
State Auditor c. w. Clausen, ex-officio
chief of the state bureau of inspection,
has rendered a report and made some
concrete recommendations wit b
some of them l agree; with others l
do not
l agree that the board should be a
strictly non-partisan body. The ad-
ministration of the workmens com
pensation act has to do with the very
lives of the workers of this state.
Insofar as the act functions to reduce
the accident toll of industry it has the
inherent power to save and prOlOng
life, to stop the wastage of limb, pro-
mote the health and happiness of the
worker. In it's schedule of awards it
stands between penury and want and
the dependents of the workers. No
other branch of our state administra-
tiOn touches so closely the human side
of organized society. That members
of this commission should owe their
appointment to partisan activity, their
retention upon the board to partisan
activity or influence, is wrong and out
of focus with modern day thought.
No "One-Man" Body
| do not agree with the recon-
mendation that the commission be
made a one-man body. The admins
trative work of the commission is too
great to be handled by one man, nor
do l believe a one-man commission
would work out in the long run salts
factorily to either employers or en-
ployees. The details of administra-
tion of this act are multitudinous and
complex, and many varying conditions
and considerations enter into the de-
termination of adequate awards. The
employer naturally wants to feel that
his money is being honestly expended; ;
that he is not being mulcted, either by
extravaganza or eXorbitant awards
On the other hand, it is the worker
who is getting crushed and broken,
not the employer, and he in his turn
wants to feel that he is getting every
penny of compensation the law en-
titles him to- With both employer and
employee directly represented upon
the commission, each has a feeling
that his particular interest is being
looked after. l do not believe that
feeling of confidence, so necessary to
successful operation of the act, could
long exist under the one-man commits
sion idea. At some time or other the
employer or employee, as a class, is
bound to feel that the other fellow is
getting the edge" in administration
and that feeling would wreck the
potency of the law.

SH|NGL LEWEAvERS VOTE
TO END LOCAL STRIKE

in the public mind the strike of the
Shingle Weavers was associated with
the tragedy of Sunday.
A special meeting of the union was
called for Wednesday afternoon, which
was attended by all the members of
the peace conference. The situation
was reviewed from every angle and
an adjourned meeting called to meet
at o'clock. At s o'clock the hall was
crowded with Shingle Weavers and
interested citizens. The situation was
again reviewed. 1t was freely ad-
mitted that the Shingle Weavers'
wage contention was entitled to
serious consideration, but it was felt
that until the strike was called off it
would be impossible to harmonic
contending factions.
The Shingle Weavers involved in
this controversy have their homes in
Everett. Many of them are paying
taxes. They are men of family with
their children attending the public
schools. They are as vitality interested
in the welfare of the city as any class
of citizens. They are peaceable and
law abiding. They have made in
of this strike. 1t was no easy matter
to arrive at the conclusion that in the
interest of the public welfare the
strike should be called off. They did
arrive at that conclusion and in so
doing they arose to the heights of
sacrifice. They had in mind the fact
that their fellow unionists in other
parts of the state might misconstrue
their action. They thought of the long
months of sacrifice and actual suffer
ing they had gone through. But they
were big enough and broad enough to
sink their own fight in the interest of
public good.
The Shingle Weavers earnestly hope
that this action will bring an era of
good feeling, an understanding of the
industrial conflict, an appreciation of
the struggle they have gone through,
that will make for permanent indus
trial peace.

simple request of you is that your or
ganization write the Deisel-Wemmer
Company, cigar manufacturers, Lima,
Ohio, demanding that the union label
be placed on all their cigars, and that
the hours of labor me reduced to eight
per day, and that the wages of women

Bricklayers, Masons
and Plasterers
Are Now Affiliated With the American
Federation of Labor

Federation of Labor
On the Goth of October a charter
was issued to the Bricklayers, Masons
and Plasterers' International Union of
America.
While the agitation for affiliation
has been conducted for years among
the brcklayers, definite atcion was
taken at their recent convention, held
in Toronto, Canada, when the inter
national executives were empowered
to act.
In the charter application, signed
by President Bowen and Secretary
Dobson, it is stated that there are
912 local unions, with a membership
of 10000, affiliated with this inter-
national.
In a telegram to President Bowen,
of the bricklayers, dated October 12,
President Gompers says:
"The charter for your international
union has been issued today. l well
come your organization into the fam
lily of trade unions of America under
the banner of the American Fedora
tion of Labor"
The A. F. of l.. executive supple
mented these fraternal expressions
with a letter in which he said, in part :
"It is gratifying beyond measure
to know that due to the efforts of
many of us continued over a long
period of years that your international
union has finally come into the family
of trade unions under the banner of
the American Federation of Labor. |
am confident that that action will have
great influence with the few interna-
tional unions still unaffiliated, and
that the day is near at hand when it
can be truthfully said that every bona
fide international and local trade
union of America will be banded to-
gether in the bonds of unity, fraternity
and solidarity in the most beneficent
voluntary association of the workers
existing anywhere in the world, the
American Federation of Labor"

Let us believe in our fellow men.
They may not always agree with us.
We might feel sorry if they did,
For we do not believe
Some of the things
We were so cocksure about
A few years ago.
May they never lose
Faith in themselves,
Because if they do, they may
Lose faith in us,
And that will hurt US more
Than the former,
And it would really hurt them more
Than it would hurt us.
Let us believe in our home.
1t would not satisfy some folks,
But it contains jewels
That cannot be purchased
In the markets of the world.
When we enter its secret chambers
And shut out the world and its care,
We are lords.
The motto of our home is service;
It's reward is love.
There is no other spot in all the worlC
That can fill its place.
Let us believe in our country.
1t is a good country, best on earth,
With all it's faults.
Let us believe in it because
1t is made up of our fellow-men
And ourselves.
We can't go back on them
And be true to our own creed.
If we do not think it
The best country in the world
It is probably because We
Do not try hard to make it so.
Let us believe in today.

Fuller and freer.
There is no assurance of tomorrow.

Recommendations Conflict


nection with this one-man board idea.
The harshest criticism of the COM
mission, growing out of the Gillies
frauds, was the practice of leaving the
signing of final settlement vouchers
to one commissioner. The strong
point was made that if all three COM
missioners had kept up the practice of
examining and signing all final claim
vouchers the frauds could not long
have been perpetrated, because the
discrepancies that escaped the notice
of one commissioner would doubtless
have been discovered by one of his
colleagues | notice among the recon-
Imendations of Mr.. CIaussen one that
