FAVOR ASSESSMENT
Typos Vote 10 Per Cent OF
Wages to Support Strik-
ing Comrades

Indianapolis vote of the Inter
national Typographical Union on the
10 per cent assessment referendum
was 40,703 for, to 11,499 against.
This means that financial aid is
guaranteed organized printers now
on strike to enforce a 44-hour week
agreed to by employers two years
ago. Associated with the printers are
pressmen, bookbinders and stereo-
typers. The employers make no at
tempt to excuse their contract-break-
ing and are being supported by every
anti-union influence to destroy or
ganized labor in the printing indus
try. That this purpose is clear is
shown by this statement in the bul-
letin of the Employing Printers OF
Americas anti-union: "Let the men
come back only when they decide to

tear up their union cards and sign
individual contracts"
The executive council of the Inter
national Typographical Union has is
sued this statement:
"The fight is won, and this not
withstanding the support the employ
ing printers are getting from persons
and associations not connected with
the printing industry. The great ma
jority of offices affected are unable
to operate. This condition will con-
tinue as long as the fight lasts, be-
cause it is not possible to secure COM
petent help outside our ranks"

Despite Reaction Forces
Efforts Trade Unions
Have Served Work
ers Well

Denver.-The economic movement |
of the workers is the best defense |
Of their liberties, declared James Lord, |
president of the A. F. of L. mining
department, in his annual report.
In vigorous terms the unionist |
scored bourbon influences and insisted |
that but for organized labor condi- |
tions in America would equal the
worst situation. that now exists in
the old world.
"There is general cry on the part
of the bourbons and their harlots of
the press and platform for wage re-
ductions, the lengthening of the work
day and the breaking down of we'll
established conditions of labor" he
said. "In the face of all this reaction,
of plots Matched in the injunction
field, the legislatures, and in cham
bers of commerce, it must occur to
all who are not entirely blind to their
affairs, that if the labor movement
did nothing else, under the circum-
stances, than prevent these baneful
interests from driving US backward,
from taking any more of our liber
ties away, it would even then be
worthy, hundred fold, of all the
finance and effort we put into it.
"No investment ever made by NOR
tai man brings such results as does
the investment of money and effort in
the economic effort of the workers. 1t
is my conviction that but for the trade
union movement in this country at
this particular time, our country
would be rocked by anarchy and chaos
that would equal the worst situation
now existing in the old world.
with all due regard to well-mean-
ing statesmen and liberators outside
| the movement, the sheet anchor of all
our liberties, and our opportunities
for the future, is the economic move
ment and power of the workers,
throughout this distressed world.
"There never was time in our
history when intelligent, united and
vigorous effffort and protest was de-
manded more of the men and women
| who do the useful work of our coun-
| try than now. Smaller differences
must be swept aside in this fight for
the salvation and promotion of the
rights of man.
| "In spite of this tremendous mar
shalling of the forces of reaction, the
trade unions have served the workers
splendidly."

Textile workers throughout the
state are striking against wage re-
ductions, and Sheriff Cochran, of
Mecklenburg county, wired the gov
ernor that he could not maintain
peace. In reply the governor said:
at is your duty to have sufficient
deputies to discharge the duties of
your office, and you can summon for
temporary service any citizen of your
county, and force him, in the event of
threatened riot, to serve. | advise
that you consult an able lawyer at
once and fully acquaint yourself with
your duty and the power given you
by law to discharge it.
81 will not hesitate to use the ad-
jutant generals military force to aid
in preserving the peace and protect
ing the legal rights of the citizens of
any county, but it has too often oc-
Cured in the past in this state that
the local authorities in vacillation and
Weakness failed to perform their clear
duty, and thereby made necessary the
use of state troops"

UNION INSURANCE
Leads in Amount Issued To
One Organization

Washington.-Th life insurance
plan of the international Association
of Machinists involves greater sum
than the combined insurance Of like
character issued by the Union Pacific
railroad, Standard oil, General Elec-
trio Company and American Woolen
Company. The unions total insur-
ance, which is under the strict super
vision of the insurance commissioner,
is estimated at SITS, 100000, and is
larger than the amount the four cor
porations are carrying on their en-
ployes.
The union is negotiating to extend
it's insurance feature to health and
accident and to cover a child six
months old up to the age of 16 years.
Secretary Treasurer Dawson, of this
international, estimates that there
are 100000 children in the families
of union machinists, who are eligible
for this insurance.

years." he said, "they can, automat-
ically, if members of the organization
at that time, or apprentices, or ma
chinists' helpers, join the organiza-
ton and receive policy of life insur-
ance of $500 for so cents a month,
the same as their fathers did.
"Any contract for children's insur-
ance submitted will be considered only
from an old line legal reserve solvent

BATTLES TWO ROBBERS
CobbIer Saves Cash and Aids In
Arrest Of One Man

Police are searching for a large and
powerfully built Negro, about forty
years old, who was one Of the two men
who tried to rob Samuel Stevens, a
cobbler and shoe dealer at 1882 Ridge
avenue, yesterday afternoon, and beat
him and his wife.
The police believe two other Negroes
acted as spies for the robbers. Stevens
told the police two men had come in
to make purchase early yesterday and
had seen him counting some money to
take to q bank.
Yesterday afternoon the big man and
O smaller man, who says his name Is
Cicero CASTOR, of Nassau street above
Twenty first, came in and demanded
his money. When he said he had none
one Of the robbers answered: 'Cut
that stuff out !. we know you had money
this morning."
CASTOR was arrested by a city fire
man, Frank G.. Logo, of Engine Co. %
and held without bail for court by Mag
istrate Carney.
Stevens exhibited black eye today
but otherwise seemed none the worse
for his battle with CASTOR. Though Q
small man, Stevens put the big robber
to fight, and fought CASTOR all over the
store and sidewalk, then chased and
caught him, and held on in spite of his
advcrsary's superior weight until the
fireman came along.

FEARING BANKS, HID MONEY
Philadelphia Man Finds $1,000 In
Odd Places In Uncie's Restaurant

William George, who runs a restaur-
ant in this city, journeyed to Provi .
dence, II. l., last Saturday to carry out
the provisions of his uncle's will. He
unscrewed the end of an iron footrail
in his uncle's restaurant and uncovered
a bag containing $37OO. In desig-
mated place in the cellar he obtained
$4,000 more.
The uncle, who died in a Providence
hospital last Friday, was Manos Kos
mos, proprietor of the Sparta Lunch
Room. He had a wholesome distrust
of American banks and regarded such
out of the way places as the foOtrail Of
bar as much safer repositories for
funds.
George received letter last week
from his uncle, which enclosed the old
mans will. It contained directions for
disposing Of his business and the where
abouts of the hidden treasure amount
ing to $1,000.
