UNIONISTS ACTIVE

MILWAUKEE.-At its semi-annual
session the executive board of the
Wisconsin state federation of labor
appropriated $4,000 for the purpose
of placing organizers in the field for
organization and affiliation work, to
be carried on during the next five
months.
Label agitation circulars will also
be sent out. These will urge trade
unionists to concentrate their energies
toward increasing the use of union Ia
bel products. Local organizers are
instructed to call meetings of the rep
resentatives of the label trade union>
and organize a local label trades COM
mittee. Deputy organizers are in
structed to give this subject special
attention in all localities visited.

HOW COLORADO LAW WORKS

CHICAGO.-At the last session of
the Colorado legislature the state in
dustrial commission was created One
section of this law provides that en-
ployers and employees shall give at
least 80 days notice before making
any change in working conditions.
The law further provides that in case
the industrial commission is investi-
eating a question of this character,
and an employer forces a lockout or
the employees strike, the party or par
ties are guilty of a misdemeanor and
liable to a fine of not more than $1OO.
Under this act strikes are illegal
until the commission makes it's award.
Writing in the Tailor, official mag
azine of the Journeymen Tailors'
union, Organizer Biggs, located in
Denver, expresses this opinion of the
act:
"If the negroes of Tennessee should
ask for better wages or conditions at
the beginning of the cotton picking
season, and were restrained from en-
forcing their demands, and were com
PEELED to continue working until the
season was over and the cotton picked
and were then given hearing on the
reasonableness of their demand, they
would be in much the same position
as are the journeymen tailors of Den
yer. Colo. But, fortunately for the
negroes of Tennessee, they have more
freedom to right their wrongs than
have the journeymen tailors of Den
ver."

WHY MINERS ORGANIZE

PITTSTON, Pain an address to
miners in this vicinity, John Mitchell
asked this question:
After a lifetime spent in the coal
regions of the anthracite field, did you
ever hear of a single case where one
man, individually, was able to make
an advantageous agreement with the
coal company"
The speaker referred to the claim
that the new Pennsylvania workmen's S
compensation law works automatic" "
at will not operate itself" he said,
"To enjoy it's benefits workers must
do something to make it effective" "
This was only possible through or
ganization, which secured established
wage rates that were later the basis
of compensation awards by the state
board.

WORD ACCIDENT" DEFINED

MADISON, Wis.-The word "accl-
dent" as used in the workmen's COM
pensation law, must be given a broad
and inclusive meaning, rules the state
supreme court in the case of Bystrom
Bros. VS.. Eric Jacobson. The case
arose when a mason, in lifting block
strained the muscles of the right side
of his body. The company contended
that this was not an accident within
the meaning of the statute. Justice
Marshal delivered the opinion OF the
court He said that the English ana
American authorities quite generally
agree on the board Interpretation OF
terms in workmen's compensation
laws and that this court considers the
legislature intended broad interpre'
tation of the word.

HEART DISEASE INCREASES

WASHINGTON-Deaths from heart
disease are increasing steadily and
deaths from tuberculosis are showing
a decline, reports Director Harris Of
the federal census bureau, From 1904
20 1874 the deaths from tuberculosis
in all its forms fell from 200.7 to 1863
per 1000, the decline being continuous
from year to year This is a drop of
more than 25 per cent. Prior to 1904
the ra had fluctuated, starting at
2O19 il 19C0. Even yet tuberculosis
has the fruesome distinction of caus-
ing more deaths annually than any
other form Of bodily illness except
heart disease. and over 40 per cent
more than all the external causes
accidents, homicdes and suicide com
bined. Steady decline in the rate
from tuberculosis is ascribed by the
census to a better understanding OF
the laws of health and the necessity
for fresh air.

CHILD LABOR BILL AGREED
TO

WASHINGTON.-Last Monday the
house committee on labor recommend
ed the passage Of the Keating-Owen
child labor bill, which was passed by
the last house of representatives. The
senate adjourned before reaching a
vote on this question
In it's favorable report of the pres
ent bill, the committee states that
the only opposition from manufac-
turers personally appearing before the
committee has been from the cotton
manufacturing states of North and
South Carolina, Virginia and Alabama
and the manufacturing associations
of those states have been in the past
opponents before their own legisla-
lures of the raising of the age limit
or shortening of the hours of the
working children"
The bill has been continually urged
by the American Federation of Labor
and if passed it would be unlawful to
ship in interstate commerce goods
produced by children under Is in
mines or quarries and by children un-
der IA in factories.

Local No. 410, |. T. w., Have Inter
esting Session Monday

AT the regular meeting of the print
ers Monday evening of this week
much business was transacted. Two
new members were initiated, one for
full membership and one for appren-
tiCe membership. J. G.. Wilcox was
elected a member of the executive
committee to fill out the unexpired
term of E. F. Whitaker, resigned.
No. 410 sent night letter to Senators

Council the printers share of the ex-
penses of an attorney to Olympia dur
ing the recent water hearing.
No. 410 is going to have a defense
fund similar to the one recommended
by our international officers, if every
thing goes right The ball was start
ed rolling Monday. 1t is planned to
raise a fund of $40 per member by
levying an assessment of one-fourth
of one per cent. each month until the
desired sum, about 1870, is raised
The plan will come up for final read
ing and vote at the next meeting.
One dollar was donated to union
butchers in Louisville, Ky, who were
locked out recently by the Bornwasser
Packing Co.
A great deal of printed matter is
going the rounds in Everett without
the label lately and if any union man
gets any of it, it should be turned
over to some printer We send them
back to the person or firm issuing it
with a little sticker attached wanting
to know the why and wherefore of
the absence of said label If you can
put it in an envelope and write the
firms name on the outside so much
the better (but leave the envelope un-
sealed so we can get our "sticker" in
it,. Well furnish the stamp and
grant you a vote of thanks. besides
The printing business in Everett
is at a low ebb just now in fact it
has been for some time, some of our
members getting only one day week
And one days wages won't keep the
wolf away very long.
