SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, April II,
The state federation of labor has
secured the rejection of a state con-
stabulary bill by the state legislature.
Measures favored by the federation
and adopted by the legislature include
the abolition, of the" poll tax law,
amendments to the BARRIERS license
law, a semi-m onthly pay law and the
absent voters measure. The nine
hour female law is amended to pro-
vide for an eight-hour day to be

more than two periods.
The federation lost its fight for an
exclusive state fund compensation
ture has safeguarded the interests Of
the workers to a greater extent by
additional requirements from the
companies writing compensation in
surance. Hereafter these companies
must have a capital of 100000 and
must deposit with the state insurance
commissioner a larger percentage Of
the premiums collected. They must
accept, write and carry any and all
risks, without the right of cancella-
ton, except by agreement with the
state industrial commission and the
insurer.
Other amendments to the compen-
sation law raise benefits from So to
SIG per week and increase the bene-
fits from SO to so per cent Of the
wage earned by the injured worker.
The waiting period before an injured
worker will be paid benefits has been
reduced from 10 to days.

Z Two weeks ago the street car men in
Charlotte went on strike. The cars were
tied up until Monday when the Company
secured new men and attempted to run
a few cars. The cars we're rocked and
fired at during the day Monday bystrike-
sympathizers, and Monday night crowd
estimated at 1000 surrounded the street
car barns; about 1890 that night some
one in the crowd fired at the policemen
guarding the barns, and at once an ex-
change sof shots followed. When the
smoke cleared, it was found that two
sympathizers were dead and Is badly in
Jured. Three of these later died. The
dead are. Claude Hinson, Caldwell
louston, Walter c. Pope, Will Hammond,
james Alfred. After the shooting the
owd dispersed.
The Mayor of Charlotte at once wired
the Governor for troops to preserve or

ties These have been patroling the

terday and today over portion of the
lines, and the latest news this Thursday
afternoon is to the effect that everything
is quiet and no further rioting has occur
red. 1t is presumed the troops will be
kept there for at least three days longer.
The men responsible for starting this
riot should be severely punished. No
one has right to interfere with any one
to the extent of preventing his working
where and with whom he phases; and
when any man or set of men seek by un.
lawful means to prevent other men from
working, then they should be dealt with
by law.
1t is matter of thankfulness to law
abiding people to know that the officers
of Charlotte had the backbone to uphold
the majesty of the law.

JOB WORK a SPECIALITY

As production dininishes, scar
city grows; and then the law of
supply and demand gets to work.
When supply dlminish2s, &C.
mand grows. So prices rise.
Whenever a bo1y of Workmen
dislike The prizes accommodates,
they strike for more pay, and
production & ,mlnishes. So prices
rise still higher. The grievance
which the strike was to cure is
only intensified by the strike.
The medicine makes the patient
worse. 1t seems hard, but the
patient is partly to blame.
A carpenters local in a middle
western city struck for $l.0O an
hour; they were offered 925 cents
an hour, but refused it. The strike
dragged on, and finally a large
number of the carpenters went
to the chief town CT an adjoining
state, where the union scale was
80 cents an hour, and worked for
a dollar a day less than were Of
fered at home, although it cost
them more to live in their new
surroundings. They had struck
''for the devil" and were losing
money all the way.
As long as strikes are organ
lied "for the devil of it," and not
to cure grievance, production
will anguish, commodities will
be scarce, and prices will rise.
Let us fervently hope that no one
in Richmond county Will take
a notion to strike "for the devil
