SIX DAYS FOR STREET CAR MEN

The progressive Street Car Mems
union of New Haven, Conn, has al
ready secured better working condi-
tions and an advanced wage scale,
but the hours of labor are long and
arduous and the organization is now
seking to establish a six-day work
week. 1t also favors the enactment
of law that will make it penal
offense to work street car employees
more than so hours week. 1t is be-
lieved the near future will witness
the establishment of the 8-hour day
and one day off in seven in many
subordinate unions.
During the last month the inter-
national paid out $67,183.25 in death
and disability benefits. The amounts
ranged from $100 to $500, which is
but another evidence of the reason
why all employees should be members
of the organization.

OVER A MILLION TO THE GOOD

The Typographical Journal, the of
fetal organ of the International Typo
graphical Union, always contains
much information of interest to or
ganized labor.
The financial statement in the
March number shows a cash balance
in the hands of the treasurer of ST.
220,114.24, distributed as follows:
General fund, Sal ,972.33; soldiers

mortal fund, $3O5,67; soldiers assess,
ment fund, $3.50; old age pension
fund, $722,169.6 mortuary fund

During the month the following are
the amounts expended from the vari.
Gus funds: Defense expenses anc

$6,O69.92; Typographical Journal ex

month were $1OO,921.44, while the re,
ceipts were $116,OO9.O9.
The total membership of the inter
national is now about 10000, and its
treasury will compare favorably with
any trade union in the country

Labor Legislation
Bills Pertaining to the Welfare of
Labor to be Acted Upon by
Ohio Legislature

Since last weeks report in reference
to legislation the following bills of
interest to labor have been intro
! duced
House Bill No. AL. Mr.. Wenner.
Extending the benefits of the work
mems compensation law to include
certain occupational diseases.
House Bill No. 450. Mr.. Hughes.
Providing for the punishment of ply
sicians who fail to report occupational
diseases.
House Bill No. 27. Mr.. King. Re-
quiring washrooms to be provided and
maintained at coal mines for use of
employees, has passed both houses ana
awaits the Governors signature.
The following bills are on the house
calendar:
Senate Bill No. SO. Mr.. Miller. Re-
gulating employment agencies. pass
ed Senate).
House Bill No. 81. Mr.. Comings.
Providing a penalty for the stealing
of workmen's tools.
House Bill No. 208. Mr.. Myers. To
provide for an Industrial Emergency
Board and to create an industrial
emergency fund.
House Bill No. 1863. Mr.. Dunspaugh.
To provide a penalty for the issuance
of fraudulent age and schooling cert1-
ficates.
House Bill No. 174. Mr.. Smith. Re-
lating to protection of motormen ana
conductors. Has passed house. Now
on senate calendar.
The Ohio State Federation of Labor
and many labor organizations of the
state requested the Governor to veto
Senate Bill No. IA. This Bill was re-
turned to the senate last week with
the Governors veto, and made spe-
cial order Tor the next day. When the
bill came up it's friends were short
one vote and a motion has been made
to reconsider the vote next week,
when an attempt will be made to pass
it over the veto. Labor is still op-
posing this bill. The fight has grown
quite bitter.
Senator White ,(R )of Columbiana
county, voted to sustain the Govern
or's veto. This prevented the pass
age of the bill for the time being.
If the bill goes through the senate,
it will still have to secure three-ffths
of the total vote of the house to put
it over.
Senator Whittemor's resolution has
passed the senate and is now in the
house. This is another camoufage
attack on the workmen's compensa-
tion law.
The employment of actuaries has
nothing to do with perfect system
of accounting, combining and central
izing the duties of the various depart
ments," etc. The Ohio Manufacturers
Association, Ohio State Federation OF
Labor and State Auditor Donahey
have already recommended for en-
ployment gentlemen who are we'll
known, actuaries of recognized ability
and are not connected with the IN
surance companies.
The bill provides for the appoint
ment of joint committee to examine
into the accounts and business of the
various boards and departments of
the state. The "joker" appears in the
clause giving the committee full
power to select accountants, attor-
neys, actuaries, stenographers," etc.,
necessary to carry on Investigations.

torney for Begley and during the lat
ter part of the week fled for Begley
a financial statement with Referee o..
A. Knehans at Cape Girardeau. D..
III. Doane, who was formerly teacher
in the State University and also on
the staff of the Mississippi Valley
Trust Company Of st. Louis, but dur
ing the past year manager of the
farming interests of Begley, was ap-
pointed receiver Of the tangled estate
and placed under bond of 100000.
He will act as receiver until the 28th
of November when trustee will be
elected by the creditors and this
officer will then proceed to make adj
justment of the claims. Mr.. Doane
was authorized to thresh and sell the
rice crop which he is doing and here
ports that $500 bushels have been
sold at 90 o bushel. He estimates
that the 450 acres of rice will yield in
the neighborhood of 10000 bushels.
That the Begley failure and expose
is the most sensational that has oc-
Cured in this part of Missouri for
many years Is indicated by what has
slowly filtered through the half closed
channels of information. The failure
In which something like half million
dollars of liabilities are involved isnoi
the most sensational. That there are
wholesale forgeries running possibly
to quarter OF million dollars is the
thing that has startled the communi-
ty and caused the beads Of perspira
tion to stand out on the foreheads o.
financial men when they realize thai
all this frenzied finance was going on
around them and they were passed by

It appears that his methods of rails

It appears that his methods of rais-
ing money including the forging OF his
father's namej and.that of Mrs. Effie
Ruth, his mother-in-law, to notes,and
the forging of deeds of trust against
real estate handled by him or through
his agencies. Several,of these cases
are already known but the extent of
such fraudulent paper is not known
and can not be known until it is all
threshed out in the bankrupt court.
In the list of assets and liabilities
filed with the referee there is a jum-
bled condition that is difficult to un-
derstand unless one knew all the facts.
For instance the Bank of Poplar Bluff
| is placed in the list of unsecured cred
itors for the amount of $4,000, yet
M. O. Horton, president of the insti
tuition, makes the statement that his
bank is secured. That he has lien
on the rice crop, and personal secur-
| ity signed by George Begley, Sr., and
Mrs. Efie M. Ruth, which makes it
gilt edged.
The list OF unsecured creditors in
cludes more than S150,000 and this NO
doubt means that much of this is bo-
gus paper which has been forged.
It appears now that these forgeries
have been going on for at least two OF
three years and perhaps longer One
case is known here in the city in which
two different men hold forged FIR 81
trust deeds against the same proper
ty. This was more than two years age
and when the fraud was discovered he
begged off from his friends with the
solemn promise that he would not
commit such crime again.
The Begley bubble bursted when the
Mississippi Valley Trust Company ol
st. Louis was tipped off by local peo-
pie that the 10000 Begley paper heIC
by them was fraudulent. They inn
mediately sent representatives. here

mother n-law furnished security Il

What the investigations" Show.


Though the spirit which conceived
and the methods which have chsract-
erized the Republican "investiga-
tionsn into the conduct of the war
merited the condemnation they have
received even from organs of the
G. o. P, these partisan scrutinies OF
Democratic administration have not
been devoid of value. They have
completely confuted the Republican
charges that there was crookedness,
corruption or Incompetence among
those in high places. Moreover,
these inquiries have demonstrated
that the Republicans undertook them
not so much to discover and punish
wrongdoing as to find material for
the next presidential campaign.
These two things have been made
abundantly evident to the people of
the country .aThey have become clear
also to the shrewder of Republican
leaders, who are now msnifesting
desire to drop the proceedings and
seek other and better issues.
The Democrats, on their part, have
never sought refuge in any denial
that great sums of money were spent;
but have constantly conceded that
such would be found as an INSOFAR
able by-product Of the stress and
pressure under which the country
labored to enter the war and finish it
quickly and decisively. The Admin
istration had the choice between two
courses when this country declared
war against Germany in April, 1917.
There was the option OF moving slow
ly and cautiously, to prevent loss of
money, but with an inevitable sacri-
flee of more precious time; or of
making haste at the risk of waste.
Economy of money purchased at the
expense of delay would have cost
thousands of lives and perhaps vic
tory itself.
II the Administration had elected to
economize with dollars while it post
poned effective participation in the
conflict; if Germany had crushed the
Allies while we haggled over ex-
penses, then indeed the Republicans
would have been able to bring an
Indictment against Democratic man
agement of the war.
