STEEL OWNERS ~ FIGHT UNIONISM
Independent Mills Form Associa- tion to Resist Attempts to
 Organize Their Men.

Atlantic City, N. J., Aug. 27.-More than a dozen independent steel mill owners formed an association in this city to resist any attempt to unionize their plants.
 of the A. F. of L. has convinced these mill owners that the organized workers look upon their reverse during the re- cent nationwide steel strike as but an incident and that the steel industry will eventually be unionized because the workers will organize if they are free from cossacks, injunction judges and free speech and free assemblage SUD- pression The mill owners, however, re- fuse to surrender power over their em- ployes and they have unitedsrather than abandon Baryism.
 E. w. Harrison of the Superior Steel company, Pittsburgh, is president of the new association. Other officers are H. c. Naug1e of the National Pressed Steel company, Massi1lon, Ohio, first vice president; James Lippincott of the West Leechburg Steel company, Pitts burgh, second president; Charles M. Best, Pittsburgh, secretary-treasurer
 President Harrison said the new association "is not looking for trouble it wants to protect our interests, and the interests of our workers"

COAL OWNERS SHY
 ON PRODUCTION FIGURES
Exhibit Reluctance to Supply Coal Figures as
 Agreed.

Washington, Aug. 27.-Because coal owners have failed to live up to their promise to supply cost of production and other figures, the federal trade commission announces the possible sus- pension of its monthly buleltin, which informed the public on coal industry costs and production.
 The commission states that attor- neys for the National Coal association notified coal owenrs last January that the commission has the lawful power to collect this information. The commits sion was given copy of this opinion. Later the coal association changed its policy and 1t was agreed with the com mission that the coal owners would start four test suits, covering all phases of the issue Instead, the coal owners started one suit on questions which were more favorable to them and the other three suits have not been started. In the one suit the commission was en- joined from enforcing penalties where reports were not made. The commis- sion then invited voluntary cooperation and the responses, have become fewer and fewer
 \. The coal owners action is i'll line with its policy of proclaiming that the public should be informed on all the facts-and then block every attempt to make this boast a reality.
 In the recent wage hearing on wage demands of bituminous miners at Scranton, the coal owners succeeded i'll stopping the miners from putting i'll the record series of statistics that would show exorbitant profits of coal own CTS, their production costs, and their monopblistic policies.

MASTER BAKERS
 LOSING FIGHT
 AGAINST UNION
Only a Handful of Non- Union Concerns Are Now
 Holding Out.
PUBLICITY IN PLENTY
Union Floods City With Lists of Union and Non- Union
 Bakeries.

The master bakers of New Haven. who are still fighting the Bakers union, are realizing that the organization is iri the fight to win and it is making such headway that there is serious concern within the ranks of the larger bakeries which still refuse to sign an agreement with the Local
 Following the announcement made last week that two of New Haven's largest bakeries, the L. L. Gilbert Com pany and the Massachusetts Baking Company, had signed up with the union, a vigorous campaign of publicity was started by the strike ommittee which is doing great work with the assistance of Chris. Kirker, an international or ganizer of Chicago.
 The town was systematically covered during the week with thousands of folders urging the public to rally to the standards of living wages, sanitary con- ditions and decent hours represented by the union All purchasers of bread or other bakery products are requested to insist upon having, union label goods and list of the bakeries working under union conditions and agreement is in- c1uded, beside which the non-t1nion es- tablishments appear in a hopeless mi1f- ority. The 1its of union bakeries in New Haven IS as follows:
 Barker's Bakery, "A Chapel St. l; Mory's Bakery, 388 State St. Mohican Bakery, 404 State St; Direct Imp.

themselves and. stood guard all night i'll the old church building. At every window i'll the hall and in the Bulletin offices the miners watchea Tor the inn pending attack.
 Gunmen arrived in automobiles at a. m. For two hours they drove around and around the block containing the Bulletin plant. They asw the guards and the guns inside. They did not at tack. Instead, the thugs went back to their masters and reported that "a raid might kill too many innocent people,"
 Ever since that night company of workers watches in the Bulletin offices. Butte's miners realize clearly that an attack on the labor daily would be an attak on every worker here who strives for a decent livelihood
 Dunn is active these days in the La bor League, which is working in con- junction with the Non-Partisan League to rescue Montana from the clutches of the plunderbund These activities have aroused the copper corporation news papers to a concerted tirade against Dun and all his allies.
 Vicious falsehoods about them are being spread broadcast by the Billings Gazette and its many kept sisters and cousins. Nolan and Donovan, labor at torneys here, are preparing to file libel suits for some $200,0 900 damages against the Gazette for recent news story in which, ignoring the reversal of his con- viction, 1t characterized Dunn as a "seditionist."

USE UNION AND NON-UNION TERMS
State Federation Adopts True Names in Place of "Closed"
 and Open.

Jacksonville, Fla, Aug. 27.-The ex- ecutive board of the Florida State Fed eration of Labor has voted to hereafter use the terms union" and "non-union" shops, rather than the tricky phrase ology of cheap labor employers who talk of independent workers the American" plan, and the closed" and "open" shop.
 The executive board takes the posi- tion that where an employer recognizes collective bargaining and the right of workers to be represented by persons of their own choosing, he accepts trade union principles. When an employer in sists on individual bargaining, and re fuses to pern1it a representative of Bis employees to plead their case, that em- ployer stands for non-unionism, and he must not be permitted to conceal his op- position to trade unionisrn by untruth- full terms.

POSTAL EMPLOYES
 MUST NOT KICK
Gag Order Revived and Union Men Threatened With Imme-
 diate Dismissal.

Washington, Aug. 27-The rights oi postal employees continue to be fouted and the Roosevelt gag order is re vived by petty czars in charge of the postofhce department.
 In Chicago the officers of the Postal Clerks union are charged with having printed statements in newspaper adver- tisements that reflected on the postal service. There was nothing new in the statements, which had previously been made before congressional committees An appeal has been made to the Presi- dent against this violation of the Lloyd LaFo1lette law of 1913. This act was intended to set aside President Roose- velt's "gag" order that no government employees could petition congress for a redress of grievances or make protest against these grievances without the consent of their department chief.
 Postmaster Se1ph, of St. Louis, Mo, has created a new mark for postal autocracy by his threat to stop the mails of that city If the postal clerks do not oust the president of their union. Selph said that he would dismiss 300 clerks if they did not hold new election. The clerks refused to act and are awaiting the postmaster's next move. The clerks president has sued Se1ph for $50,000 damages for islander.
 In joint statement President Hyatt and Secretary Treasurer Flaherty of the National Federation of Postal Clerks say that acts of congress, intend ed to be beneficial to the postal em- ployes, are being used by Postmaster General Burleson to the disadvantage of these employees.
 Under the law employees are entitled to 10 days sick leave each year. This has been construed to mean 10-12ths of day month. This nullifies the in- tent of the law, unless an emp1oye gets sick one day month and recovers in that period, per the Bur1eson schedule.
 Another ruling by the department that ignores every element of justice is shown in the order that employees re- turn wages paid for work done on Sun days. The last congress changed the rule that time should be paid for Sum day work to time off on another day of the week. Now the department takes advantage of an interval between the passage of the act and the time it be- came effective and has ordered all en- p1oyes who received wages for Sunday work to return this money. The de- partment, however, refuses time off to employees who worked on Sundays, in spite of the obvious fact that they are entitled to either one or the other.

CHILD WELFARE
 IN TUBERCULOSIS
Two Important Projects Launch ed by State Commission for
 Care of Children.

Hartford, Aug. 27.-Two important developments in child welfare activity have been undertaken by the State Tuberculosis Commission of Connecti- cut, the establishment of seaside sanatorium for the treatment of bone and glanlu1ar tuberculosis at Crescent Beach, and the centralizing of the care of the children who, are i'll with pull monary form of the disease at Under cliff, the Meriden state sanatorium.
 The Seaside, as the sanatorium at Crescent Beach is to be known, was opened this spring, closing three years of strenuous efforts. to overcome ob- stacles which included delays of every kind and legislative fight which lasted months. It has 55 beds and is now practically filled. Dr. John F. O'Brien, formerly of New Haven, and a gradu- ate of the Crippled Children's Hospital of New York City, has been made superintendent and Mrs. Sara Colgan of Hartford, matron
 The, treatment, of which heliotherapy is the base, has already resulted in some remarkable cures of crippled children. The sanatarium buildings consist of the former White Beach Hotel, remode1ed and equipped with the latest appliances for scientific treatment It is one of the few in the country and its pioneer work IS being closely watched by students of anti-tuberculosis warfare.
 Until the present time the children in the state sanatoria for lung tuberculosis have been distributed among the fourt at, respectively, Norwich, Shelton, Hartford and Meriden The commits sion voted few weeks ago to use Meriden as childrens sanatorium ex- clusively. The adult patients there have been distributed among the other three sanatoria and, from the other three, the children are all being transferred to Meriden.
 A new inhrmary building is being constructed at Meriden with the $75O00 appropriated by the last legislature for that purpose, and several changes are being made in the other buildings to adapt them to their new uses in heus- ing and curing only juvenile cases Schools will be established at both sanatoria this fall under the direction of the state department of education.
 Dr. Cole D. Gibson, formerly assist ant superintendent at Meriden, has been appointed superintendent, succeeding Dr. James E. Dinnan, who died several months ago, and Dr. William Carroll, assistant superintendent He has had extensive training and practice in chil- dren's diseases in New York City.
 Connecticut Is the first state to de- vote one of its sanatoria exclusively to chIldren'S cases of tuberculosis

PUBLIC HAS DUTIES
 AS WELL AS RIGHTS
Must Cease to Ignore Former in Its Relation to the
 Workers.

Cincinnati, Aug. 27.@"Before the public has a valid claim for the full recognition of its rights on the part of labor, it must have previously assumed its responsibilities and have done it's part in preventing conditions of labor which are not only intolerable to labor, but which are menace to the stability and the welfare of the nation itself" says John P. Frey, editor International Molders' Journal
 "The public" says this trade union ist, manifested little interest in the long hours and low wages of street car em- ployes, until one morning it was forced to walk down toYn because the street car employees would no longer endure the intolerable conditions of their em- ployment.
 The miners have received such small wages that they could not SUD- port their families in decency They have been prevented from organizing by bands of hired mercenaries whose existence has been permittd by the authorities their members and their or ganizers sahaFe been killed in cold blood. but the public took no adequate steps to prevent these outrageous and un- American conditions
 But the public, which had so eff fectively evaded and ignored its respon- abilities, clamored for legislative and administrative relief the moment the miners went on strike
 The public, in respect to its rights, IS very much like many employers who are keenly conscious of their rights. but overlook or waive aside the recipro- cal rights of their employees.
 The foundryman who expects the molders and coremakers to work for him with the spirit Of good will must have indicated spirit of fairenss and good will towards his employees. for there are no rights enjoyed by men which do not carry with them equiva- lent obligations and responsibilities.n

FRAMING" HAS STARTED.

Denver, Aug. -Strikebreakers employed by the local street car com pany have confessed they lied when they told the police their wrecked street car was caused by two armed men who took the car from them and then ran it into a ditch. The strikebreakers now acknowledge that the car jumped the track when they ran it too fast.
 The Denver Labor Bulletin says citi- zens may look for jobs of this kind from now on.'
 But about the next one that will be pulled" says the labor paper, ''the strikebreakers will forget to confess and stand pat on their lies and few union men will go to the penitentiary on the perjured testimony of such strikebreakers"
