Unionists Sue For SI0O, 900.

Washington, April p. w. B.
Mahon, president of the Amalga
mated Association OF Street and
Electric Railway Employees, and
Edward McMorrow, representative
of the same organization, have each
sued the Washington Railway and
Electric company for $50, 600 dam
ages because of libelous statements
made in advertisements wherein it
was stated that the company re-
fus d to recognize this union be-
cause its officers were law break
ers."
The company locked out its en-
ployes several weeks ago when they
refused to sign individual contracts
and has imported large numbers of
gunmen and strikebreakers. In
the company's campaign TO capture
public opinion the Street Car Mems
union and its officers have been
pictured as undesirable citizens, :"

New York, April 81 The Ward
Baking company has signed a un-
ion shop eight-hour agreement with
the Bakery and Confectionery
Workers international union. This
concern is the largest of It's kind
in the country and has been com
batted for years by organized bak-
ers who now secure the eight hour
day, union wage scales and the un-
On shop.
The Ward concern has plants in
several cities. It's Chicago aud
Newark N. J branches have been
unionized for some time. The bak-
ers have maintained steady agita-
tion against the company, ard one
of the forms of opposition was a
boycott on the Brooklyn team in
the Federal Base Ball league, two
years ago, in which The Wards were
financially interested
The agreement will continue for
three years, with wage increases TO
be considered every year. The
bakers victory will effect this in
dustry throughout the entire east
and will stimulate these workers to
greater organization energy.

Was Com pers Right? Ask
Labor Editor.

Minneapolis, April 81. Before
the war Editor Cramer Of the La
Dor Review, owned by the Trades
and Labor Assembly of this city,
advocated no war, and journeyed
to Washington with other citizens
in the interest Of peace.
Writing in tie last issue Of the
Labor Review be comments on his
visit to the nation capitol ard un-
der the caption, Was Gompers
Right p makes this editorial state
ment.
There is much comment favor
able and unfavorable Of the position
taken by President Gompers in ex-
pressing the attitude Of organized
labor toward the war, and in ac-
coping a position on the council of
defense.
Having recently been in the
east and having seen first hand the
sentiment of the east We believe it
is impossible for anyone to judge
the action of the president of the
American Federation Of Labor un-
SIS they have become acquainted
with the wor frenzy, which exists
in the east, and which gripped con
gress
President Gompers evidently
saw thac a declaration of war was
inevitable. He was on the ground
and in position to know. No one
in Washington who used his ears
and eyes and mind could reach any
other conclusion, aud so with a
declaration Of war impending it was
up to the president of he American
Federation of Labor to adopt pol
icy which would best protect the
federation.
"He had for bis guidance what
had happened in England He re
membered that the English labor
movement, stronger than the A.
F of l., had at first refused to CO,
operate with the government, but
that it had been unsuccessful in
preventing the war, and had been
forced to surrender many valuable
conditions won through years of
strife and sacrifice.
1--WE are facing these things, and
forced to face things as they are,
and not as we wish they were. We
cannot say, but be believe time will
prove that President Gompers was
right.

they like him raw. This year America
