(By a PRUNE PEDDLAR.)

\ murmur, then muttering, next
an ominous growk, gradually gaining
in voiumn as it drifts along the line
of human transmission from one in
dividual to another, there is very
apparent spirit Of unrest among the
commercial! travellers. This vast body
of men who carry the products of
practically all lines to every quarter
of the globe are nowadays talking
earnestly about. the conditions under
which they have to travel and work
and making comparisons of the basis
. of remuneration with that of other
trades and professions.
1t is estimated that in the United
States alone there are aver two mill
lion men filling travelling positions
and in normal times of world peace
over five thousand make the foreign
countries. A majority of these men
travel on a commission basis. paying
their own expenses and furnishing
the funds for these. expenses.
The very nature of their work re-
quires that they shall be educated,
intelligent and thoroughly trained.
They must be pastma stcrs of dipiom-
acy, tact and the art Of mixing: They
must know the rules of business, fl
nance, commercially law. export and
import duties, and the complex feat
; ures of freights, express shipments,
Interstate regulations and the rights
of individuals. They must know when
to represent and when to be the SIM
pie agent of the principal. Upon their
word. their methods and terms de-
Ponds the major part of all business
transactions.
! AS rule travelling men hesitate to
: ligion or social conditions. The very
nature Of their business the meeting
| OF all grades and classes necessitates
! being good fellow with all. Re-
| sardless of climate, weather, roads
| or obstacles they must put up with
| all kinds of accommodations and be
on the job at all seasons.
While it is true that prices on
staple lines have advanced the av-
! erage commission. salary allowances
and expenses where allowed have
stood at the old rates. In face of
this fact hotel rates have almos
d -ubled. railroad fares much higher,
.Pullmans almost forbidden, livery
driving a luxury and general expenses
far beyond those of two years ago.
1t is significant that wherever a
at country stations, in hotels or the
quiet Sundays along the line the dis
cussion is one and the same thing.

BROOKLYN MEAT PACKERS
:. SIGN UP WITH BUTCHERS

NEW YORK, Junt 6:-The Brook
Ign Packers ASSOCIATION and the
Amalgamated Meat Cutters and
Butcher Workmen's unions, Nos. ia
and c11, have signed an agreement
whereby 1900 employees of sausage
making and packing plants get the
4S-hour week and a 81 a week in
crease for the skilled. men and A So
a week for the labortrs. One Of the
clauses in the contract reads that no
laborer shall get less than SIS week.
The agreement calls for time and a
half for overtime, five holidays and
board of arbitration. Another clause
says: I'VE grant the S-hour basis
day. also the 40hour guarantee, eX-
cept in weeks where holidays occur
the guaranteed time shall be 50 =:

cling costs. AS the distributor he
should share with the producer In
profits. He is fully entitled to enjoy
the best hotels, the most comfortable
method Of travelling, security to his
health and reasonable chance to
get home at frequent intervals.
In the luxury Of well-appointed Of
fices, managers scheme, plan and de-
wise to get more ''pep," more orders,
more speed and more business out of
the travellers and at the same basis
of costs to themselves. Every diVi-
sion of the average house sending. out
travelling men is trying to think up
new methods to force the men on the
road to greater efforts. A successful
manager of travelling men is he; who
can force the greatest Volumn of bus
mess at the least possible cost to the
house itself 1t is safe to assume that
more junk is handed out to travelling
men each year, in the form of books,
pamphlets, weekly letters, ginger-up
matter and personal talks than to any
other set Of men in any business Or
any part of business.
All the travelling men need is a
l.
who knows the game and will or
ganize them to get their just dues
and that man will certainly arise
sooner or later.
1t is safe to assert that there are
hundreds and maybe thousands or
! concerns in this country who send out
travelling men on commission basis
| make. the men furnish their own
funds to travel with, and stand all
the expenses and if the trade does
not materialize the commercial trav-
eler is the loser and the house the
gamer by any orders which may come
! in.
If the travelling men were solidly
! organized, there would be better
! methods Of travelling, better hotels,
| better accommodate better pay
and far better treatment of the in
dividual
| At any rate the seed is ripening
and the propaganda is spreading and
! it is not amiss to say that we will
hear of some action later on to the
end of producing better working con-
ditions. Such a body of men as the
! commercial travellers are mighty
power only they don't know it. and
meekly submit as individuals to the
restrictions placed upon them.

WASHINGTON juno 6. - One
hundred trade union executives of
