WAR KILLING GERMAN UNIONS.

New York = Recent information
reaching here tells of the fearful in
roads being made on the German
trade unions. These details are fur
nished by last reports:
The number Of labor unions was re-
duced from III in 1913 to 450 in 1918.
The membership Of the Berlin central
labor body dropped from 100000 in
1913 to 100000; Hamburg's had 143-
600 trade union members in 1913,
against 47O00 now; Dresden's men,
bership of $4,000 was cut in half.
These figures will be food for seri-
Gus thought in the coming days of
peace, which may cause the ruling
classes of the kaiserland to think Of
their own safety.

FAVORS LABOR
COURT HOLDS UNIONIZATION
CONSISTENT WITH LABORS'
PLEDGE TO CONTRARY.

A court decision of far-reaching
importance to American labor in it's
present crisis was rendered in Nash
vile, Tenn, according to the follow
ing despatch:
Nashville, Tenn.-The right of
workmen to become members of labor
unions even though they might be un-
der contract not to join a union was
upheld by Judge James B. Newman
in chancery court here yesterday
when he set aside temporary injunc-
tion granted the Nashville Railway &
Light company enjoining representa-
tives of organized labor from induc-
ing any of the railway employees to
become members of labor unions in
violation of their contracts with the
railway company.
The court held that the contract,
in which the railway employe "agrees
that during the term Of his service he
will not join any such union," is in
violation of President Wilson's proc
lamation Of April 18, 1918, in which
he proclaimed the rights Of workers
to organize in trade unions and to
bargain collectively through chosen
representatives.

NO LABOR CONSCRIPTION

There will be no conscription of
labor in the United States, Felix
Frankfurter, assistant to the secre-
tary of labor, declared in an address
at the opening of a three-day war
labor conference.
Nothing like that is needed, con-
templated or would be successful" I"
he said. The 13 superintendents and
48 state directors of the United States
employment service in attendance
cheered the speakers statement.
"All we need to do" he continued,
ais to take the pieces of machinery
already in existence in the govern
ment and put them together under
one head. Up to this time each gov
ernment department and bureau en-
gagged in war work has been attempt
ing to solve its labor problem alone,
with the result that the government
has been bidding against itself for
labor. With the creation of the war
labor policies board the heads of all
government departments will sit
around a common council table and
reach decisions on the distribution of
labor that will take into considera-
tion the needs of the government as
a whole"

AN ENVIABLE RECORD

Virginia City, Nev.-The Virginia
City Miners union No. 46, after pa
tient efforts, has secured an increase
of wages amounting to 81 per day
for all underground workers, and has
kept up it's record of no strikes since
the inspection of the organization in
the early '60's, at which time the
members of the old Virginia City
Miners union dug the gold which
helped Abraham Lincoln in the civil
war to establish the freedom of the
chattel slave. In the peaceful estab-
lishment of the new wage scale the
union has maintained it's enviable rec
ord of no strikes for a continuous
period of so years. For Al years the
Virginia City Miners union worked
under agreements with the mining
companies. The union was organized
on July 4, 1867, and the first agree
ment was entered into on August 20,
1877.

RULES VIOLATED
OVER 500 FOOD LAW VIOLATORS
PAY PENALTIES IN
TEN MONTHS.

The food administration issues the
following:
More than 800 penalties for viola
ton of rules and regulations govern
ing licensed dealers in foodstuffs
have been imposed during the past
ten months by the food administra-
ton. About $50 companies and in
dividuals have been ordered to quit
business in licensed commodities for
a limited or unlimited period, and
over 500 have voluntarily made a
money payment, usually to the Red
Cross, or quit business rather than
risk calling down more drastic penal
ties upon their heads.
A vast number of other cases have
been disposed of by federal food ad
ministrators in the various states and
territories under the authority of, but
without specific appeal to, headquar-
ters at Washington. In a large num-
Der of other cases the desired com

G29 SHIPS IN FIVE MONTHS

Washington. - The steady growth
of the American merchant marine in
all classes of vessels was revealed
for the first time since the war be-
gan in statistics just furnished from
the department of commerce, showing
that in the first five months of this
year there have been built in this
country and officially numbered by
the bureau of navigation a total of
629 vessels of 687,055 gross tons.
The merchant fleet vi the United
States now amounts to approximate
ly 100000 gross tons, not including
merchant craft under control of the
army and navy as transports and
supply ships.
At the beginning of January &c.
TAP merchant vessels Of 9,343,2
gross tons were flying the stars and
stripes on trips across the Atlantic
with food and munitions, into the
Caribbean and Pacific with American

on the lakes and rivers of this coun-
try as part of the nations domestic
transportation system.
There has been a steady increase
in new ships this year, the May ton
mage, being three times as great as
the January output. In the first
month of 1918 there were fifty-seven
ships Of 64,795 tons given official
numbers. In February eighty-four
ships of 117601 gross tons were
numbered. March saw a notable
jump in the production of small
ships, numbers being awarded to
1873, the tonnage being 147,145. The
record in April was 165 ships of
163,050 tons, and in May 1875 ships
of ,464 tons.
In a single month this year the
American merchant fleet has seen a
growth almost as great as during the
entire first year of the European
war.

LAWYERS LOSE JOBS

Members of the legal departments
of the three big railroads centering
in San Francisco look for a curtail-
ment of their forces under govern
ment management. While no definite
announcement has been made from
Washington, a hint has been per-
mitted to slip through-and the
lawyers have taken it.
There is no reason to believe the
legal departments of the roads will
not be cut down. Government opera
ton will reduce by a tremendous
number the suits against the rail
roads, and curtailment of the statfs
would be in line with the railroad
administration policy of economy.

THEIR PERFIDY EXPOSED

Salem, Mass. - The perfidy and
duplicity of three members of the
Lynn Manufacturers association is
exposed in a suit that has been en-
tered in the Essex county superior
court by Musha Babian and Ayoub
Abdo of Lynn. The charge that
while a strike of the shoe workers
was on during July, 1917, that they
were approached by the represent
atives of the association named and
offered 81 900 if they would have ad-
vertisements published in the Ar
menian and Greek papers giving the
employers side Of the trouble and
the foolishness of the strikers fol-
lowing their leaders. 1t is also al
legged by Babian and Ayoub that the
strikers were to be induced to take a
referendum vote to to return to work
at the old wages and sign an agree
ment for three years and conform to
the findings of the state board of con-
ciliation. This they allege they did.
In payment for that work the de-
PENDANTS "agreed jointly to give the
plaintiffs $4,000 if they succeeded in
procuring referendum vote of the
strikers to return to work" The
plaintiffs claim to have completed
their part of the contract, but that
the defendants have paid only $3.50
of the $4,000 for which the verbal
agreement calls.

Resolutions calling upon President

MIA to use their powers to obtain
new trial for Thomas ]. Mooney were
adopted. Mooney is under sentence
of death in California for alleged
participation in preparedness day
bomb outrage in San Francisco.
The Mooney resolution, which was
passed unanimously, asserted that un-
less Mooney is to go to the gallows
with the belief prevailing that his
conviction was obtained thru perjured
testimony, new trial must be given
him. An appeal to the governor of
California asks that executive to
"dispel the impression that a grave
miscarriage of justice is being allow
ed with the knowledge of the authori-

Hold Just a Little Longer.
In an address to the convention,
M. Justin Godart, assistant secretary
of war of France and head of
French war mission to the United
States, declared that a union of
French and American workers will be
one of the results of the conflict in
Europe.
Replying, President Samuel Com
pers said:
"We ask you to hold out a little
while longer. We are coming, and
Americas workers and soldiers are
determined to see this war thru to
the end"

Another resolution adopted pro-
tested against any increase in post
age rates on second class mail mat
