A WOrkmen's Convention Concerning
ImmigratiOn-The Strike of the
Furriers'-A Strike of a Half
Year Finally Settled.
By Elias Lieberman.

the topic of the day among all the
Unions. Conditions in Europe are such
that at the first opportunity thousands
will flee. They will seek refuge from
that monster, hunger. They will run
from those cities and towns which re-
mind them Of pain, sorrow, massacres,
and similar tortures. And, as usual,
America will be the haven.
How best to face these throngs of
immigrants is of interest to each and
every Jewish labor union. The prob
lem Of Jewish immigration is really
the problem of all Jews. But the lab
orers must take particular interest for
two reasons First, that the majority
of immigrants will seek work and
therefore come in contact with labor,
and secondly because employers will
take advantage of the opportunity to
provide themselves with cheaper la
Dor. This, of course, must not be al
lowed.
Realizing the Importance of this
question, the United Hebrew Trades
of New York decided to call special
convention on September 10Th to take
up the problem of immigration. All
Jewish labor unions of Greater New
York, are affiliated with the United
Hebrew Trades, each branch of the
Ladies' Garment Workers Union, the
Amalgamated Clothing Workers
Union, the Furriers' Union, and the
United Capmakers' Union, will be rep
resented. Representation will also be
extended to the American Federation
of Labor.
Various plans are being considered
by each individual union. Some think
it best to establish employment bu-
reaus to provide the immigrant with
work. 1t has also been proposed that
the unions reduce their admission fees
so as to enable the immigrants to gain
membership. Each union by itself can
not, however, expect to solve such a
difficult and complicated problem. 1t
is the task of the United Hebrew
Trades. With united power they will
perhaps succeed in finding ways and
means of lettering the conditions of
the immigrants in our country.
A special committee has been ap-
pointed to arrange a daily schedule
for the convention. The committee
consists of the officers of all the i'm
portant unions. One of its plans is to
keep in close touch with the American
Federation of Labor, which is about
to establish an employment bureau at
the New York port. It will aid in the
work of this bureau, and will see that
it is all done in spirit consonant with
the traditions Of labor.
Mr.. j. Feinberg, General Manager
of the Cloakmakers Union, made the
following statement: "0ur cloakmak-
ers will receive the coming immigrant
with open arms. We will admit immi-
grant laborers into our union without
any charge. When people flee from
fire we will not place any obstacles in
their way. We will help them to settle
and earn a living. 1t is also Of vital
Importance that the immigrants
should be organized at the very begin
ming, and each branch of our indus
try will admit them free Of charge"
Let us hope that the convention will
be well attended and that it will sue
coed in finding ways and means to aid
the immigrants.

In the Jewish Field Of Labor


they could not come to an under
standing. The direct cause of the
strike was the question of equal dis
tribution of work in the time of slack.
1t was the desire of the Union that
each laborer who is employed through
out the season should be given an OPP
portunity to earn something in the
time Of the dull season. The employ
ers refused such a demand on the
ground that the agreement in force
provided nothing of the kind. The po-
sition of the iaborer in the fur trade
was far from good, and was made still
worse during the three years of pros
perity when the employers engaged
very many inexperienced hands in the
factories.
When the slack" period came, the
number of unemployed grew rapidly.
The employers did not regard this as
a trade problem. They looked upon it
from the legal standpoint, and the
strike was natural result.
The manufacturers being united in
an association determined to over
come the demands of the Union as
we'll as the Union itself. The misery
and bitterness which follow every pro-
longed strike were obvious in this case
also. The manufacturers refused to
deal with the Union until the work.
ers would "come down" or starve.
The Union, on the other hand, was de-
termined not to resume work until the
Association would either yield or dis
solve.
Several weeks ago it was realized
that the position of the Union was
very satisfactory for the manufacture
ers for the reason that there was lit
tie work to be done, and the manufac-
turers could afford to wait. Now how.
ever, the position is changed. Orders
are pouring in, and the manufactur-
ers are, therefore, withdrawing from
the Association, one by one, and ar
ranging settlements with the Union.
The demands Of the laborer have
grown. He now demands 40 hours of
work per week, a closed shop, and a
limited number of new inexperienced
hands. If the manufacturers would
consent to meet the labor leaders the
strike would undoubtedly be settled.
However, they are afraid to face
them. Nevertheless it is rumored that
some manufacturers are very anxious
to bring about peace in the industry.
The strike of the suit case and bag
makers is worthy of mention, if not
for its Importance, at least for the
length of time it has been kept up.
For almost half year the laborers
did not work For twenty-four weeks
the manufacturers did no business.
Regardless of the great financial loss
to both sides, the struggle has been
continued without interruption.
At the renewal of the collective
compromise that the Union had with
the Association. the strike started.
The Union demanded "A hour week,
a 80 per cent raise, seven legal holt
days during the year, and week work
instead Of piece work throughout the
entire trade. The manufacturers re-
fused these demands, and strike fol-
lowed.
Both sides waited, and the longer
they waited, the more bitter relations
grew. Both the Union and the Associ-

TWO DEAD; ONE WOUNDED.
Three eDaths May Result From In
fatuation of Married Man.

Chattanooga, Oct. 30.-Mrs. Lulu
Mitchell and w. NJ. Howard, a photo
grapher, are dead, Miss Anna Mitch
ell. step-daughter of the dead woman,
is in a hospital probably fatally in
jured, and Mrs. B. Elliott is held at
police headquarters, charged with &C
cessory to murder as the result OF
a triangular domestic mix-up here
today. Howard, who was married,
but infatuated with the Mitchell girl,
encountered at the Elliott home the
iMitchells, shot the two women and
then sent a bullet through his own
heart. Two bullets penetrated the
body of Anna Mitchell, and physi-
clans hold out no hope for her re-
covery. Mrs. Mitchell was instantly
killed. w. O. Mitchell, husband of
the dead woman, was an eye witness
to the killings, but being unarmed,
was unable to interfere.
Mitchell told the police that the
direct cause of the tragedy was his
objection to Howard associating with
his daughter after he had learned
that he had a wife and two children
living at lockwood, Tenn. He also
said that his daughter had left home
and took up residence with Mrs. Ell
liott in order to be near Howard.
The first shots were fired at MISS
Mitchell, who had left the room oc-
cupied by her parents, and then How
ard opened fire on the elder Mitchell
and his wife, the woman being killed
and Mitchell rusing to a neighbor to
secure a gun. 1t was while Mitchell
seeking the gun that Howard turned
the revolver on himself, according to
Mitchell. Howard had been arrested
on complaint of the father Of Anna
Mitchell and was out on bond.

3 KILLED IN RIOT.
More Than 100 Heavily Armed OFF,
cials on Duty in Fighting Zone.

Montgomery, Nov. 1.-Three ne
groes known to be dead, fifteen in
the Montgomery county Jail and prop
erty loss through incendiary fires Of
Saturday night and Sunday night, ap-'
proximating 100000 recapitulates
the outbreak in the southern part of
this county early tonight. Over one
hundred heavily armed county and
city officials and civilian volunteers
are on duty at strategic points in the
affected area tonight, although it was
generally believed the threatened up
rising had been nipped.
The killing of Warren Taylor, ne
gro, the third to die in connection
with the events of the past forty-two
hours, occurred early this afternoon,
tol at Chief of Police Taylor, Sheriff
after he had emptied a pistol at
John L. Scoggin and other officials
who had placed him under arrest at
his home eighteen miles south Of this
city. Taylor had reported earlier in
the day an attempt to burn his prop
erty by night riders, the robbery of
his store and an attempt upon his
own life. While he was being treat
ed for buckshot wound in his shoul-
der in the city, officers went to his
home and questioned his mother and
found the two statemnts at variance.
They found also the safe Taylor had
reported had been stolen under his
bed. The discrepancy in the accounts
as given caused the officers to decide
On Taylor's arrest and when he came
home he found the officers waiting
for him. When he was bundled in
to the chiefs automobile, he seized
a gun lying in the car and started
shooting. Detective Sergeant Avant,
pinioned the negro's arms causing
his aim to be ineffective. Before the
negro had emptied the pistol, howey-
er, he was fired on from the side and
eight bullets pierced his head, caus-
ing instant death.
Conflicting reports were received at
Montgomery throughout the day from
the southern part of the county, >cou-
pied with alleged threats to destroy
one or two rural towns during the
night. This caused the swearing in
of 100 civilians who with county and
city officials are on guard in those To-
calities tonight. A prevailing report
here tonight, which was without con-
firmation due to inability to secure
connections with the community, was
to the effect that four negroes had
ben shot to death near Highland
Home, Ala, early in the day.
