MiddIe-cIass Union Proposed.

There Is another union movement on
foot in Canada, which If it succeeds
will be stronger than any Of the unions
now existing in the Dominion. The
great middle class" Of Canada is at
tempting to bring about the long
talked-of organization for it's own pro-
lection. 1t is claimed that while the
wages Of manual workers have in
creased about 100 per cent since the
war commenced, the salary of the Of
flee worker and the clerk has remained
almost stationary. The capitalist class
is united by the manufacturers asso-
citation, bankers organizations, ETC.,
and 1t is felt that the time has come
for the men who are being pinched be-
tween the upper and neither millstones
to get together. Included in this vast
army are the schoolteachers, drafts
men, clerks, Office workers, etc. It Is
not the intention Of those behind this
union of the middle classes to link
their forces with the Trades and La
Dor Congress Of Canada, nor the capt.
talist class. They intend to remain In
dependent, and demand justice for
themselves from both sides.

MANY GET WAGE INCREASE
Advance Granted Textile Operatives
viii Affect One Hundred and
Fifty Thousand Workers.

Wage increases affecting upward Of
10000 textile operatives in New Eng
land and in other northern states have
been made public. In most instances
the advance was announced as APP
proximately IS per cent. Both cotton
and wooden mills are affected. The in
creases, effective June 2, bring mill
wages to the highest level on record
and in some instances represent an adj
vance of more than 100 per cent since
1915. Many Of the mills in New Eng
land have been operating on a 4S-hour-
a-week schedule since early in the
year. a reduction Of six hours week
from the former schedules. This re-
duction in the working week was ac-
companied by corresponding cut in
wages. Several strikes, notably that
in Lawrence, which has been in effect
since February 3, have been ordered to
end with the allowance Of higher
wages, which are made possible, ac-
cording to the manufacturers, by i'm
provement in market conditions.

|DR(TISH LABOR
| MAKES STRIDES
Has Won Most Of the Big Points
Which Have Been Mat
tiers in Dispute.
SETTLED BY CONFERENCES
Through Arbitration and Peaceful Dis
cussion the Workers Have Gained
More Than They Could Have Hoped
For by Using Strike Weapon.

England's labor crisis passed-for
the present, at least-with the adop-
tion by the Industrial congress of the
joint committees report recommending
an eight-hour working day, minimum
wage and a permanent industrial coun-
Gil to settle wage disputes.
This according to views in we'll
Informed labor circles, is the signiti-
canoe of what took place under cloud
Of tobacco smoke in the famous Cen
trail hall, Westminster, few hundred
yards from the house of parliament.
In the conference sat nearly eight hun
bred delegates representing practi-
cally all the large employing interests
of Great Britain and about seven mil
lion workers.
Labor, by arbitration, has won as
much and in many instances more,
than it could haye hoped to win by
nationwide strike-a strike which eau
tious thinkers admitted might provide
an opportunity for bolshevism. And,
having won, labor is now ready to
carry on" and give the government
and capital chance to put into execu-
ton the things they have promised.
The burden of proof has been shift
ed. A few weeks ago labor held the
center of the picture and all England
was asking, "What will labor do? Will
it stop all industry by calling gen.
eral striker" Now it is the govern
ment and the employers who are draw
ing the eyes, and the question is, how
thoroughly the government will carry
through the program to which it's ar
biters have committed it.
In a few weeks English labor COW
cred an arc In the cycle of industrial
development which even in the most
progressive of countries has hitherto
been completed only after years of
intense labor struggles.
1t Is certain that the recommended
lions made unanimously by the Joint
committee Of employees and employers
will, if completely carried out, repre-
sent a greater advance toward the
things unions have been fighting for
than has been possible in many dec
AIDES previous. In one lump English
labor has won more than 1t has gained
since it first organized.

Penalty for IlleuaI Strike.

An order for payment of a penalty
of $50 with costs was the substance of
Mr.. Justice Edmunds' decision in a re-
served judgment under the industrial
arbitration act of New South Wales, In
connection with an illegal strike of
certain members of the Union of Piano
Frame Molders and Stove Makers EN-
ployees. The union was ordered to
pay $50, the maximum fine being
$500.
Mr.. Justice Edmunds pointed out
that while the piecework molders
were admittedly very turbulent Sec
ton the union officials, when they had
failed to prevent an illegal strike, had
taken no steps to condemn 1t nor to
prevent their own officers from TAX
ing part In 1t. As the element of in
territorial wrongdoing, however, had
not been made out he did not think
that the case called for a severe pen
atty.

General Strikes Condemned.

The danger and futility Of general
strikes promoted by irresponsible
radicals were emphasized by some of
the delegates at recent meeting Of
the Boston Central Labor union. Boil
shevism and |. w. W.-ism were roundly
denounced as contrary to the ideals
for which trade unions stand.
P. Harry Jennings, one of the dele

inal to advocate general strikes with
their consequent suffering, especially
when no preparation for such move
ment had been made and there were
no well-defined plans known as to how
1t would be conducted

WOMEN DENIED

Official Of the Federal Depart
meni of Labor Makes
the Assertion.
URGES FORMATION OF BUREAU
Nary Van kleeck, Director of the
Women-in-Industry Service, Points
Out What She Considers
Legislative Needs.

''In spite of their record during the
war millions of women in the United
States receive less than living wage
and thousands of families are below
the poverty line for no reason except
that their bread-winners happen to
be women earning women's wages,
declared Miss Mary Van Kleeck, di-
rector of the women-in-industry serv-
ice of the United States department
Of labor, at meeting Of the Woman
Voters league before conference of
labor held at the headquarters Of the
National American Woman Suffrage
association at Washington.
Miss Van Kleeck further said:
millions of women are working too
long hours for health and efficiency,
and many men and women are work
ing under conditions which are I'M
wholesome and unsafe. In many we'll
managed establishments, however,
standards have greatly improved dur
ing the war and the time is ripe to
extend these improvements through
out industry. Continuous, careful in
vestigation By central bureau of in
formation and government policy
formulated by women are Of the ut
most Importance for reconstruction in
America. Therefore, next to the suf-
frage amendment, the measure OF
greatest Importance to women before
the new congress will be to establish
on a permanent basis, with an ade-
quate appropriation, the women's bu-
reau in the United States department
of labor"

RESTORE STANDARD or LIVING
New Zealand Arbitration Court Is Told
That Is Absolutely Essential
to the Workers.

1.-THE restoration of the workers
standard of living to its prewar level
Is absolutely essential to the we'll
being of the community" Mr.. T. Blood
worth assured the arbitration court In
Auckland, New Zealand, which was
hearing the bricklayers' dispute, a dis
pute which included demand for In
creased war bonus. "And it must be
advanced beyond that" declared Mr..
Bloodworth, "if the country is to take
and hold its rightful position"
Mr.. Bloodworth said that wages be-
fore the war were generally admitted
to be Giving wages"-that was, only
a small margin was allowed to the
worker after he had provided for the
needs of himself and family. Since
the war began the cost of living had
advanced so per cent while wages in
the bricklaying industry had only risen
10 per cent; consequently the workers
standard of living had been reduced.
If reduction in output had occurred IT
had been directly due to the lower
standard Of living except where attrib-
utable to the use of inferior material.
The whole problem, said Mr.. Blood
worth, must be viewed from two as
pects-the cost of food and its value
to the worker. By budget and charts
he presented the conclusion that the
minimum weekly wage necessary to
maintain a family properly was "a
IS Cd ($22.18), which was considerably
higher than the average worker was
receiving in the trades under consid-
Grafton by the couprt.

and child in London, Ont, now
works eight hours a day or less
and receives as much If not
more wages than when the
longer period was worked. This
change has all come about with
in year and large proportion
of it within six months. The re-
suit Of the shorter hours is be-
