evening, April 29, in the cafeteria
room of the Bayly-U -Underhill factory
under auspices of Garment Workers
Union No. 139. Tickets are 25 cents
and prizes are to be awarded. This

consists of Amanda johnson, chair
man; Margaret Tierney, Hedwig Ar
dita, Margaret Hanson, Clara Wagner,
Ethel Grubb and Margaret Noonan.

In the second Liberty loan the mem
bonds.
The Johnston & Larimer Company
of Wichita, Kan, will open a branch
factory in Newton, Kan, where they
will operate a factory with about
thirty machines. A local of the

started in Newton.
Chicago has made the first appli-
cation for the assistance of the gov
ernment under the labor policy during
the war agreed to by commission,
of which former President Taft and
Frank P. Walsh represented the pub
lie. The grievance is the discharge
of cutters by the Stag Tailoring Com
pany, All South Sangamon street.
George c. Slater, secretary of the
United Garment Workers, charged
they had been let out for joining
the union. John Fitzpatrick, presi-
dent of the Chicago Federation of La
Dor, telegraphed a complaint to Sec
retary of Labor Wilson.

Painters

Following the decision of the arbi-
traitors in the case of the disagree
ment between Local No. 571, Painters,
of Cheyenne and the Master House
Painters and Decorators of that city,
in which the arbitrators held that the
painters were within their rights in
serving notice of the expiration of
their old agreement, the local came to
settlement with their employers and
signed an agreement to hold until
March /, 1919. The basis of settle
ment was as follows: Seventy cents
an hour till July /, after which 70
cents per hour will be the wage until
the expiration of the contract. This
difficulty was submitted to arbitra-
ton after the painters were out over
three weeks and the shortness of the
time required to arrive at settle
ment after its submission to arbitra-
ton speaks eloquently for this plan
of settlement The arbitrators in the
case were: For the master paint
ers, P. S. Cook; for the employees,
Harry W. Fox; called in as third
member, Labor Commissioner E. W..
Taylor.

Window Cleaners

Worcester, Mass, window cleaners,
who a few years ago were receiving
as low as $3.50 per week, were
awarded S24 a week, following a
strike last week which lasted but a
few days. For the most part the men
employed on this class of work are
Poles, Lithuanians, Italians and of
other nationalities. When the win
dow cleaning business first became of
any Importance in Worcesterssev
years ago those employed in it were
green, and were eager to get a job
at any price. But when they became
more accustomed to American ways
they became organized, and from that
time on have been improving their
conditions. When it is realized that
unorganized skilled mechanics in
Worcester machine shops are still re-
ceiving only 81 cents an hour, as
compared with 44h cents received by
the unskilled, but organized, window
washers, one is forced to believe that
only numbskulls cannot see the value
of organization.

MUST OWN A BOND OR No JOB.
Union Miners at GebO, WyO, Are
Proving Loyalty by Their Acts.

The 200 miners employed at Gebo,
Wyo., nine-tenths of whom are for
eign born, thru their union have en-
tered into an agreement with their
employers that 2 per cent of their
wages shall be withheld and contrib
uted to a community fund from which
the camp will make donations to the
Red Cross, the Y. NJ. C. A. and other
patriotic organizations.
Purchases of Liberty bonds will be
made by the miners directly, no part
of the community fund being intended
for bonds. No man is permitted to
work in the camp who does not own
Liberty bond.
The miners at Gebo recently brought
the camp to national attention when
they went on strike because the as
sistant postmaster Of the town had
been given a deferred draft classifi-
cation to which they did not believe
him to be entitled. The strike ended
when he resigned his position and en-
listed as volunteer.
