Twin City Federation of Labor at Its
last meeting to secure grounds at
which to hold this years Labor Day

association in February and, according
10 statements of members of the asso-
eiation, was the only starting date a.
variable in order to secure the entries

orators, and it was intended to change
sehe program this year and put on a

sentative OF tie plasterers and Cement
Fsnishers' international has been I'm
The Twin Cities for several days In
conference with officers OF the local
nnion IN reference 10 establishing n
state conference of plasterers and ce-
ment inishers II is understood that
he has met with the desired success
In several other cities throughout the
state. and that II has practically been
decided TO call the first conference In
a short time AT some place and date
TO be decided later.
The purpose of organizing state
conference, lis to bring about closer
affiliation between the various locals
throughout the state New methods of
doing the work connected with the
trades need united consideration, and
Il lis believed that state conference
will solve these matters great deal
more satisfactorily than could be done
by individual unions. Another object
of the new organization ls to form
a legislative committee 10 take up mat
ters demanding the attention of the
state capitol, and also TO form lobby
to urge the necessary legislation to
protect members of the trade and the
building public.
AT regular meeting of the local un-
ion Wednesday night the matter was
brought tip and was fayorably consid.
cred. 1t is expected delegates Will be
appointed within short time.

ILLINOIS TRACTION SYSTEM
MAlNTE ENANcE OF WAY MEN
GET SECOND CUT IN WAGES

For the second time within a few
months maintenance of way men EN-.
ployed by the Illinois Traction System
have been reduced in wages and now
receive 30 cents an hour for nine
hours work.
This second cut went into effect
May and affects track men over the
entire system.
Thus the hardest working men on
the system now receive the lowest
pay. and is the direct result of failure
TO organize and maintain labor un.
ion They are treated as individuals
when they apply for work or ask for
more pay. but the company puts the
collective bargaining method into ef-
feet when ii wants TO reduce wages.

ing the printing trades unions. He
has conceived brilliant scheme
which he hopes will so mold public
opinion that there will be quick and
sure defeat for the unions in the
printing trade that are determined TO
force the employers to stand by their
contract" This phrase has become
somewhat shop-worn through its use
in lambasting organized labor, and
doubtless now has different sound
to certain people. The shoe is on the
other foot--and IL pinches.
Vollmer's bright idea is the eircu-
lation OF series of canned interviews,
the first of which the Review pub
fishes for the edification of its read

This canned interview, with few
local frills, was unloaded upon the

 Commenting the situation, the Wall Street Journal says: "There is only relatively slow for ployment This increased production, out of the plus of which, and out of that aone employment can be found.
 "Al the money in the savings banks will not provide for the unemployed If it were withdrawn and given to them today, it's withdrawal would cause unempoy inent in other directions.
