liam J. Guest, president of the Prov
 dence Central Federated Union, and their associates, immediately proceed cd to enter protest against the bills Their author agreed to have the bills killed in committee and promised that he would not let any enemy of labor again deceive him into intro ducing anti-labor bills.
 Most gratifying reports have been made by the officers of the Missouri State Federation of Labor. They call attention to the defeat of two most vicious bills. One of them was termed the Spanish 1nquisition" and the other was known as the "anti-union" bill The Spanish Inquisition" bill provided that any prosecuting attor- ney by merely filing statement that he believed crime had been com mittcd under the law it would be- come the duty of a justice of the peace to issue a subpoenas to any per sons named to appear and testify. It also vested in any justice of the peace all the powers of a grand jury If any person directly or indirectly made known to anyone the fact that he had testified before a justice of the peace while he was acting as grand jury" he would be fined $2oo and given three months in jail
 The "anti-union" bill prohibited strikes. Not only were these two bills defeated but a child labor law that had been declared invalid by the State Supreme Court was reenacted. A workmens compensation law was passed, which President R. F. Wood, of the Missouri State Federation of Labor, contends is one of the best that has yet been enacted by the Al states having these laws.

of the American Federation of Labor, presented a legal brief upon compul- sory labor, or involuntary servitude, in opposition to the bill. So effective were the addresses that the bill was killed by the committee. Of I2 bills introduced in the New York legisla- ture against Labor II were defeated and one is now in the hands of the governor to sign or veto. The latter provides for double employment agency fees for actors and actresses.
 An attempt was made to secure the passage of two bills in the Rhode Island legislature that were most sweeping antilabor measures One provided for the compulsory incor- poration of trade unions and they would have to secure charters from the state to do business in Rhode Is land. It also provided that any trade union could be sued and "the per sonal and real estate of any member could be attached through the exer- else of sucr suit.' The other was a cold-blooded law prohibiting strikes Any body of persons consisting of three or more which caused, abetted or made efforts toward any strike, boycott or industrial trouble against the business of any Rhode Island citi- zen, or induced any person or persons to engage in any such activities, would be punished by fine of :$1oo for each ofense.
 Will Not Be Deceived.
 When President Gompers learned of these two un-American measures he immediately circularized the POP central bodies and local unions in Rhode Island, pointing out the dan gers of such proposed laws and urg- ing that every effort be made to bring about their defeat Lawr ence A. Grace, secretary of the Rhode Island State Federation of Labor, and Will

Woman's "bill of rights" was pre- sented to the legislature of that state. President Gompers was appealed to, and i'll telegram to be used before the committee holding hearings on the measure declared it was danger ous to the existing Virginia labor laws for the protection of women and would undoubtedly interfere with the enactment in the future of such laws. The bill WAS killed in committed
 Kill Enemy Proposals.
 Down in Louisiana they did not have a meeting of the legislature but they had a constitutional convention. Like all constitutional conventions, those who would enslave labor were very active There were several at tempts made to annul the lien laws of the state and also to provide for an industrial court. Every proposi- ton detrimental to labor was de- feated
 dent T. J. Greer, of the Louisiana State Federation of Labor, states that he believes the new constitution to be one of the best of any in the country.
 One provision in the bill provides that the legislature shall never pass any laws fixing wages except for women and children. This will pre- vent the passage of an industrial court law with power to fix hours and wages. It was big victory.
 While the organized wage-earners in the various states have been sue cessful in preventing legislation, Con- ,gress, notwithstanding all the in fuences that could be brought to bear upon it's members, has not yet passed any legislation dangerous to the wage-earners. But scores of bills have been pigeon-holed or defeated through the activities.

AUSTRIA

Tenant Law.-Although the Tenant Law was enacted as a war measure to prevent landlords from arbitrarily increasing rents and ejecting tenants, all efforts to alter ii, so that rents can be increased adequately to keep pace with depreciation, have been vio- lcntly opposed by the social demo- crats, with the result that rents are perhaps cheaper in Vienna than i'll any city in the world. As a conse- quence of this situation the housing problem Is desperate.

 Coal Strike.-The strike of the coal miners at Coroncl and Lota Is still in progress. The operators persist in their determination to reduce their labor force by approximately 25 per cent; while the men not only deny the right of the operators to rid themselves of undesirable laborers, but insist upon maintaining the Ire dondilla" or shift system.

LABOR WINS BIG BATTLES
 AS POWERFUL FOES UNITE

The bills presented were as drastic as any laws in force in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. The only diff ference was in the punishment pro- vided for their violation. While 500 years ago the punishment for asking for better wages and working condi- tions was the pillory or the cutting off of an ear, and even death for those who became too insistent, the bills in the legislatures mentioned provided fines and imprisonment "Liberality in punishment" those who advocated the proposed laws foolishly believed, was all that was needed to gain proper support.
 A compulsory labor and anti-strike bill was presented in the New York legislature. It provided that if either the employers or employees had grievance they could not confer to- gether but would have to write letters to each other If an agreement could not be reached through letter-Writlng then the controversy would have to be taken into the Supreme court, where a decision as to the merits of the case would be made. Wages and hours would be determined by judge made law.

DRY DOCKS vs..
BOROUGH NINE
Great Game Expected When
Two Strong Teams Clash
Saturday

The Perth Amboy Dry Dock base
ball team, winner of the recent twi-
light industrial league staged in this
city, will play its second game of the
week Saturday afternoon. This con-
test will be with the Metuchen A. C.
on the Metuchen grounds and an in
teresting game is anticipated.
The Metuchen nine has been ex-
hibiting a good brand of ball and
borough fans consider this team a
real contender for the championship
of MiddleseX county. In the near
future the Landings of New Bruins
wick will have the Metuchenites as
their opponents, and if the borough
team wins, a challenge will be ex-
tended 10 the Amboys.
Ten Eyck, the pitching mainstay
of the Metuchen team, probably Will
be sen against the visiting industrial
workers. He has pitched a majority
of the important games for the Me-
tuchen nine this season and the fans
have great confidence in his ability.
Just who Manager Wilson will
send to the mound against the Dor
oughites, has not been made known.
Brownmiller, Oldenboom, Stratton or
CroWell are the pitchers the choice
will be made from. The Dry Docks
are DESTROYS of making up for the
two setbacks suffered at the hands
of the Railway Stars the last week,
both by close margins.

HARMONY NINE
To PLAY CASEYS
Woodbridge and Roosevelt
Teams Clash for Third
Time This Season

For the third time this season the
Harmony Field Club of Roosevelt
and the Knights of Columbus base
ball team of Woodbridge will clash
this Sunday afternoon. This game
will be played on the Roosevelt
grounds and is a benefit for the girl
who was hit by a batted ball when
these two teams last met on the
Roosevelt field.
The Woodbridge Caseys COPIED
honors in the two previous meetings,
the first on the Woodbridge field
and the second in Roosevelt. Bob
Risley occupied the mound for the
Caseys in both contests, while Love
did the twirling for the Harmony
combination. 1t is probable that
Risley will again be sent to the
mound for the Caseys, while the
Roosevelt pitching choice has not
been announced.
~Inasmuch as the Sacred Hearts OF
South Amboy defeated the Wood
bridge Caseys last Sunday afternoon
Roosevelt fans are of the opinion
that Manager Strawbach's nine can
accomplish the same feat. The two
previous games between the two
teams have been closely contested.
Due TO the fact that this a benefit
came a big turnout is expected.
outside of a possible change in the
Etching box for the Roosevelt team
t is likely that the two teams will
take the field in the same manner
the last two games.
