PLUMBER CHARGED
UNTERMEYER $24 DAY
FOR A JOURNEYMAN

This skit is vouched for by
Secretary Roswell D. Tompkins
of the New York Building
Trades Council, and he knows.
Recently Samuel Untermeyer,
chief counsellor for the Lock-
wood committee investigating
housing conditions in the city
of New York, had some plumb
ing work done in his home by a
firm headed by John M. Knight,
president of the New York
Master Plumbers Association,
then under indictment. A few
days later Mcknight was found
guilty of charging excess prices
and Sentenced to 80 days in the
municipal prison on Blackwelps
Island. From this point of
vantage the boss plumber mail
ed Untermeyer bill for the
Job. Among the items was la
Dor costs at the rate of $24 per
day for a journeyman plumber
and helper, who received the
union scale of wage, So and Sc
per day, respectively, or total
of SIS for the two workmen.
This meant a net harvest of So
per day for the boss, or a profit
of 90 per cent. Asked what he
was going to do about it, Mr..
Untermeyer replied:
We'll, this fellow is already
in prison, SO l guess I'd better
pay the bill, otherwise he might
bring suit and send me to Black
wells"

stands for everything they have not
and for all they most crave and never
can attain. Let us pity them, my
chteftain, for even though we die at
their hands we can afford pity, since
we are greater than they and they
know it."
II presume it is the better part of
wisdom that we bow to our fate with
as good grace as possible, Dejah Thor
is; but hope, nevertheless, that l may
be present the next time that any
Martian green, red, pink, or violet,
has the temerity to even so much as
frown on you, my princess"
Dejah Thoris caught her breath at
my last words, and gazed upon me
with dilated eyes and quickening
breath, and then, with an odd little
laugh, which brought roguish dim
plies to the corners of her mouth, she
shook her head and cried:
what a child! A great warrior
and yet stumbling child"
"What have done now?" asked,
in sore perplexity.
"Some day you shall know, John
Carter, if we live; but l may not tell
you. And I, the daughter of Mors
KAYAK, son of Tardos Mors, have
listened without anger" she solilo-
quized in conclusion.
Then she broke out again into one
of her gay, happy, laughing moods !;
joking with me on my proves as a
rTNIo-
soft heart and natural kindness.
I was very curious to know what
had said or done to cause her so
much perturbation a moment before
and so 1 continued to importune her
to enlighten me.
"No," she exclaimed, SIT is enough
that you have said it and that have
listened. And when you learn. John
Carter, and if I be dead, as likely
enough shall be ere the further moon
has circled Barsoom another twelve
times, remember that I listened and
that I-Smiled."
It was all Greek to me, but the more
begged her to explain the more pos

quest, and, so, in very hopelessness,
I desisted

Reliance Company Turning Out 5000
Daily By Aid of Convict
Labor.

From McAlster Okla.) News-C Capital.
What r. r. RAIDER, general manager
Of the Reliance Manufacturing Company,
of Chicago deems the best garment fac
tory in the southwest was put in operation
in McAlester on Monday, May %. The
factory has been equipped in two-story
brick and concrete building, 80x200 feet
in dimension, which has just been COM
pleted inside the pententiary grounds
The building was constructed with a
view to later making it seven-story
building, 50 that the foundation and re-
infOrCed concrete are the very best and
fully able to support the additional stories
when they shall be needed by the prison
The factory will employ about $50 con-
victs and will have an output of 500 dozen
shirts daily The Reliance Manufa ctur-
ing Company, which is one of the larg-
est concerns of its kind in the United
States, and which operates seven plants
and employs 5000 women workers in
Indiana alone. as we'll as factories in
Kentucky, Wyoming, Wisconsin and
other states, will keep a superintendent
and a half-dOzen instructors here, as well
as a master mechanic and others, to look
after the work of the Oklahoma factory.
The MCAleSter plant is styled an in
dustrial institution, in which the convicts
are trained in the work of manufacture
ing garments, and the Reliance Manufac-
turing Company will take the output of
the plant and dispose of it in wholesale
markets throughout the country.
The principal garment manufactured
will be work shirts. The bolts of cloth
will start in at one end of the big build
ing and go from one machine to another
until it has made the rounds and comes
out the finished product.
There are about 200 machines, each
one to make its own special part of the
garment Some of the machines sew up
four seams at once A buttonhole ma
chine makes the completed buttonhole at
one stroke Some of the machines are
very expensive and number of them
cost around $3.50 each.
Several of the machines are for making
collars only The cloth is fed into the
machine and comes out a finished collar
These machines, it is said, cannot be
bought but are taken on royalty, SO
that the manufacturers get a small per
cent on each collar manufactured.

RAILROAD UNIONS
WIN BEFORE BOARD
Federated Crafts Get Decision That
Makes For Collective
Bargaining.

Washington, July 1.-The federated
shop crafts grouped in the Railway En-
plOyes' Department of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor, won a victory when the
Railway Labor Board decided that the
roads must deal with the representatives
Of the federated crafts in making agree
ments concerning working rules.
The decision nullihes the attempt of
the managers to split the workers and
deal with each craft separately. 1t de-
MES in toto the position taken by the
Pennsylvania and other roads that they
will deal only with Individual trades and
ignore system federations The decision
means that the roads are compelled not
only to deal with the representatives of
organizations but that they must deal
with representatives of the federation of
those organizations.
The Board also decided that existing
agreements between eng lnenen and train
men on the various roads were not terrni-
mated by decision 119 and that changes in
schedules or agreements of the train, en-
CINE and yard service employees can only
be made after the required notice either
by agreement of the parties or by decision
of the Board after conference between
representatives of the employees and the
managemnts, and proper reference in &C
COrdance with the provisions of the trans
pOrtatlon act and the rules of the Board.
The Board in both instances followed
the provisions of the transportation act
covering the points at issue and defeated
the attempts of the roads involved to vio-
late these provisions. The transportation
act was drawn by attorneys for the roads
and passed substantially as introduced
and the evident purpose of the roads to
ignore those provisions of the law adj
versely affecting them, while demanding
that provisions favoring them be en-.
forced in their interests but another
evidence of the fact that they are only
willing to obey the law when obedience
to law means added wealth and power for
them. The decisions of the Board have
brought them up with a round turn and
compels them to obey the law.

LABOR POWER IS IN
IT'S PURCHASING
If All Stand Together For Union
Made Goods, Victory is Won.

| One of the most effective weapons pos
scsscd by organized labor is its purchas-
ling power. The exercise of this power
has contributed much toward developing
the present strength of many labor unions
and particularly that of the label trades.
Indeed the label trades could not have
existed of their own efforts, but would
have been compelled to disband long ago
had it not been for the constant demands
for their products made by members of
! Organized Labor.
Organized Labor has been able to eff
j feCtively and inteligently use its purchas-
ing power in behalf of the label trades
because all of these trades have union
label which is always either affixed to or
stamped on the article they make or on
the cOntainer in which it is packed: and
union men making a purchase and de-
manding union made goods have been
able, because of the label, to positively
determine in any commodity represented
as union made was genuinely so. In this
, way the purchasing power of labor has
been applied and its benefits realized
But although the label trades have been
given valuable assistance through the
medium of labOr's purchasing power. this
powerful force has been by no means de-
veloped to its fullest extent and it never
will be until every member of organized
labor loyalty fulllls his pledge to ''e1n-
ploy only union labor and to purchase
ionly union label products"
What a tremendous increase in men,
bership would be gained by organized la
Dor if all Of its members would always
exercise their purchasing power in its
behalf; think of the large number of or
ganizers whose services could be dis
jpensed with and of the consequent saw
ing of salaries thereby consider the saw
ing that could be effected on label adver-
Using and the opportunity for reduc-
ton of dues or increase in benefits that
these several retrenchments would make
possible; and most important of all,
what blow it would give the open shop
surely Knockout
Wake up, labor, and use your purchas-
ing power to its fullest extent Be a 100
per cent union man. Employ only union
labor and buy only union label products
do not patronize dealers who feature
non union merchandise. Remember that
every time you purchase union made
article you strengthen our cause and
weaken our enemies. Always use your
purchasing power in the interest of or
ganized labor and complete success shall
be ours.

side of the vehicle.
"What does this mean?" I cried,

swered, her face betokening her dis
approval Of the procedure.

cruelties, as they seemed to my lovers
eyes, that were being heaped upon
Dejah Thoris.

I saw the strength Of his reason

futile to appeal from his decision.
"This much, Tars Tarkas, you may

not mistake, and I knew that I had
loved her since the first moment that
my eyes had met hers that first time
in the plaza of the dead city of Kor-
ad.
My first impulse was to tell her of
my love, and then I thought of the
helpTessness Of her position wherein
I alone could tighten the burdens of
her captivity, and protect her in my
poor way against the thousands of
hereditary enemies she must face up
on our arrival at Thank. I could not
chance causing her additional pain or
sorrow by declaring a love which, in
all probability she did not return.
