These are the facts as attested by
sworn testimony of some witnesses and
the knowledge of many others. No one
doubts that in the due process of law"
all these facts will be further cstab-
lished and Campbell be absolved from
all blame. In the meantime, however,
it is shameful that he should in the
mind of any person be represented as
having slain "peacemaker" when he
himself was passionately and courage

Members of organized labor are not

thirty years of history in Louisville

without outside interference. We con-
tend vigorously for our point of view
but we love order and always hereto
fore have been able to maintain it.
Ewald did not come into our meeting
to make peace. 1t is deeply to be de-
plorcd that he lost his life but all cred
table witnesses are agreed that he alone
was responsible for his death.

BRICKLAYERS TO AFFILIATE
WITH THE A. +. OF l..

Toronto, Ontario.-The convention of
the Bricklayers and Masons' Interna-
tional union voted to affiliate with the
American Federation of Labor. The
convention instructed its executive
board to take no steps to make this
declaration effective until they are fully
convinced that no law exists that will
compel or force any subordinate union
of our organization into any sympa-
thetc strike of a jurisdictional or of any
character without the consent of our in
ternatonal officers"
Trade unionists point out that as the
American Federation of Labor grants
complete autonomy to its affiliates on all
matters referred to in the bricklayers'
instruction to their executive board,
there can be no reason why this inter
national cannot Immediately join with
the great family of trade unions under
the banner of the American Federation
of Labor
The convention also declared in favor
of affiliating with the Trades and Labor
Congress of Canada. The purpose of
this organization is to urge remedial leg
islaton for Dominion workers.

No formal demand was made to the

chlnlsts union, stated that the failure
OF the men to report for work was not
the result of an S-hour day demand
which preceded the other strike. A num-
bcr of men were laid off last week, he
said, and the machinists who were be
ing organized, feared that the firm was
discriminating against them Mr.. Plctz
said that eight men had been laid off

Magnetic Storms,

Contrary to the general belief, mag
netic disturbances do not begin at the
same moment all over the globe. In
stead of that they progress around the
earth. In the case Of abrupt disturb
ances, which are usually comparatively
minute in their effect on the compass
needle, the complete passage around the
earth requires from three to four min
utes. For the bigger effects or for the
greater magnetic storms the rate of pro-
gresson is slower SO that it would take
them half an hour or more to pass
