UNIONS GET RESULTS.

Winnipeg, Manitoba Canada
Street Car Mems Union and organized
telephone operators have raised wages
The car mems rate was % cents an houl
for the first six months and this has
been forced up to 2s cents. The mini
mum will be "a cents
The telephone operators are employed
by the Manitoba government. Their
minimum will be $40 a month and an
additional $3.50 every six months until
$50 is reached. Hours are reduced to
eight per day.
These differences were settled by arbi-
tration, but the Winnipeg Voice throws
this sidelight on the proceedings:
"lt would be misleading to let anyone
go on supposing that the spirit of arbi-
tration alone is entitled to the credit for
these settlements. The settlements, sub
stantially satisfactory, were arrived at
because in each case the workers were
possessed of the power and will tc
strike"

WAGES IS SMALL FACTOR.

Washington.-In opposing the pro-
posed Is per cent freight increase to
railroads, Clifford Thorne, chief coun-
sci for the shippers, told the interstate
commerce commission that "the increase
in wages due to the Adamson law
amounts to 1876 per cent of the rail
roads total revenue" and that "the day
after the United States Supreme Court
sustained the law these railroads asked
an increase of IS per cent in freight
revenue.
"ln the midst of one of their most
prosperous years the carriers are trying
to force an added tax on the public in
the name of patriotism. AS Mr.. Patter-
son of the Pennsylvania railroad pro-
nounces that word | can hear the jingle
of the dollar" he said.
Trade unionists say that the railroads
are giving shippers poor reward for
the latter's undivided opposition to the
eight-hour demand of the railroad
brotherhoods. The shippers were a
tower of strength to the railroads in
that fight and these business men now
find themselves deserted by the very
men they fought for.

WHAT IS IAN IDLER?"

Springfield lll-State Senator Dun
lap has been badly bitten by the war
efficiency" bug and the Senate rushed
through to its second reading without
reference to committee, his bill which
provides that every male in Illinois must
work at least SO hours week or be
jailed for 60 days.
The plan is an excellent one to pre-
vent strikes and tie workers to their
jobs, but the following provision would
be more far reaching than the enthu-
sastic solon intended
Possession of money, property or in
come sufficient to support himself and
those legally dependent upon him shall
not be defense to prosecution"

General Strike of WOrkmen i'm Yards
Is Threatened.

New York.-Ofiicials OF the Depart
ment Of Labor continued their efforts
to prevent a general strike in the ship
building plants of the New York dis
trict Rowland b. Mahany, mediator
of the department, was expected to ar
rive from Washington in an effort to
adjust the difficulty. About 10000 men
would be affected by strike Should
the strike be called next Monday it
would interfere with the Governments
ship-building program. The men ask
$3.50 day for machinists, an increase
of so cents day over the present rate
and similar increases for boiler makers
pattern makers, coppersmiths and other
marine trade workers.

WHAT is SEA POWER? ASKS
LABOR EDITOR.

San FranCisco.-America can secure
power on the high seas by simply way
ing magician's wand.
This seems to be the basis of yards of
stuff written by men who occasionally
venture on an excursion steamer and
then pose as maritime authority.
The latest illumination by one of this
class has been noticed by Editor Schar-
renberg of the Coast Seamens Journal
and this genuine sailorman says:
Sea Power is the name of a month
ly magazine now in its second year of
publication at Washington, d. c. The
current issue of that misnamed period
ical advocates the modification of our
restrictive navigation laws so as to per-
NIT aliens to command and officer our
new mercantile fleet
Under Our present alleged 'restric-
tive navigation laws American ships are
not required to carry any Americans
except the master and licensed officers
The rest of the crew may be, and fire.
quently is, composed of aliens. and nom
English-speaking aliens at that.
Now this illustrious Washington ati-
thority on sea power proposes that
American licensed officers should be
made to compete with the ships officers
of the world at large.
What hope is there for genuine
American sea power when a man who
edits a paper bearing that very name
has not the faintest conception of it's
true meaning?
Sea power has never been in ships
alone. Sea power is in the men who
man the nations ships. 1t is reflected
in a maritime national spirit that insists
upon the elimination of coolie labor
aboard ship. 1t is manifested in fair
treatment and preference for native sea-
men. Any other course is l1nthnkable
to men with remote knowledge of sea
power in history. To urge the manning
of American ships by aliens is the first
step toward strangulation of sea powers
very essence"

IMMIGRATION FIGURES.

Washington.-Wa and the Burnett
immigration law have stopped immgra-
ton from Bulgaria, Servia, Montenegro
and Roumania, the former source of
supply for trusts and large corporations
in this country.
This is shown by the April report of
the federal bureau of immigration which
states that but five immigrants we're ad-
mtted from these four countries. In
April, 1914, or before the war or the
passage of the Burnett act, 2,433 were
admitted from Bulgaria, Servia and
Montenegro and 3G6 from Roumania
The total immigration for April, 1917,
was 25,929, rs against 142,207 during
April 1914 During the latter period
1888 EIungarians were admitted, while
the number from that country during
April, 1917, dropped to 24.

STRIKERS ENJOINED.

Bloomington, lll.-Striking street car
men have been njoined by Judge Welty
at the request of the Bloomington &
Normal Railway and Light Company
from interfering with, hindering or OBJ
structing the company's operations
The strikers are debarred from solicit
ing the public not to patronize the cars.
Bloomington trade unionists protested
against this I'M junction at one of the
largest mass meetings ever held in this
city.
The strike was called when the COM
pany refused to meet a committee of
its employees and discharged workers be-
cause they joined the union. The COM
pany has union agreement with en-
ployees on its lines in other cities.

NO LABOR SHORTAGE.

San Francisco.-"There is positively
no labor shortage in California" says the
Labor Clarion, published in this city.
The public employment bureau has a
long list OF workers willing and anxious
to get employment. The man who says
there is a shortage of labor in this State
has an axe to grind What he means is
that he is unable to get men to do his
work without paying for it.

uric acid. The face appears lean and

Tho best way to combat this prema-
ture age and the obstruction to the
arteries and faulty circulation is Of the
simplest: Drink copiously Of pure water
between meals. This will not make you
fat, q it is only the water taken with
the meals that fattens. Obtain at any

acid in the blood should quickly disappear
