In May, 1892, the Granite Manu- facturers' Association locked out their granite cutters III an effort to disrupt the Granite Cutters Asso- citation and to have such individual or verbal agreements as might thereafter be made terminate with the last day of December instead of the last day of April as previously done, The individual bargain is too welel known to need e1ucidation. The January I date was selected so as to have the three severe months of the year with which to keep journeymen conform to the employers conditions in other words, the best time to treece and starve them out.
 The lockout existed from three months to IS months It ended with a victory for the union as far as it's recognition and collective bargaining was concerned, but the date of change of agreement was compromised to March I. Unfortunately at the time compromise was forced upon the Journeymen much after the so-called modern open shop conundrum but then known as the mo discrimination clause"
 This agreement had a tattered ex- istence for about four years, during which the result was more disastrous to employers than to workmen be- cause there was no stability of wage rate and no employer knew what the other was paying, and bidding for jobs was continual race downwards Granite cutters had to impose this obnoxious method on those erring employers to teach them the lesson they deserved, and it worked we'll, so much so that the writer of this even was invited by the executive officers of the Employers Associa- tion to enter into real constructive and collective agreement and as an lnducement offered the opposite ex- treme from the mo discrimination method of have a provision in the new agreement that employers would hire nothing but good stand ing members of the Granite Cutters Association and the latter would only work for members of the Elm ployers' Association.

Coleman Opposes
 Postal Unions

Washington, Sept. I.-Officers and members of the National Federation of Post Office Clerks are asking senators not to confirm Arch Cole man, who is serving as postmaster of Minneapolis. Coleman is charged with incompetency and anti-union narrowness The clerks have inter ested Senator Ladd of North Dakota in their case.
 One year ago Postmaster General Hays declared that Minneapolis has the best conducted postoffice in the country" Then Postmaster Purdy recognized the unions and called their representatives into conference on matters of office policy.
 Now the postoffice is disorganized, and because he has adopted the anti union policy of local corporations. Coleman is openly charged with be- in gan errand boy for big business. Things reached a climax when he dis missed George N. Meyers, member of the Postofice Clerks union and president of the Trades and Labor Assembly. The latter body passed a resolution which expressed sympathy for striking shop men and disapprov- al of President Harding and his ad- visers and associates Meyer was not at the meeting when the resolution was passed, but Coleman discharged him.

Cummings, his opening ad- dress at the last national democratic convention bearing out that assertion and bringing him unlimited praise. As a democratic leader, when head of the national committee and close advisor with President Wilson has also brought renown to his home town and 1t is a real pleasure to democrats here to see him again se- 1ected to counsel the voters of the state as to their duties in the election.

tempting, but the executive officers of the Cutters Association refused it, for in the meantime number of men from the stone sheds had gone into business and whom the employ CTS would not admit to membership because they had helped the man be- hind the hammer to defeat the ob- noxious purposes of the Employers Association.
 We stood by our guns as the say ing goes and won. This experience Is herein noted because the non union or so-called open shop plan had been given a few years experience and was found to be ruinous both to the man in business and the men he employed
 The moral of this tale is that men who do the work are entitled to have something to say about the rates and conditions under which they would be employed

Pittsburgh, Pa, Sept 1.-The Pitts burgh Gazette-Times, a fine old tory organ, prints this frank opinion of the Presidents message to congress:
 Compulsory arbitration under gov ernment auspices of labor disputes affecting basic industries is President Harding's prescription for preventing repetition of the coal and railroad strikes This is what he meant in recommending to congress action to make the railroad labor boards de- cision enforceable and effective, and national investigation for constructive recommendations as to conduct of the coal industry"

STAMFORD FEELS
 LITTLE PRIDE IN
 MERRITT RECORD
Congressman's Actions Against I'm. portant Public Bills
 Before C. L. U.

Stamford, Sept. Stamford, espe- cially that portion of the population affiliated with Organized Labor, feels very little pride in the record of its Congressman, Schuyler Merritt, as shown up in the reports received from Washington by the Central La bor Union and published in The Labor News of last week Like the other representatives from Connecti- cut MT. Merritt not only did not sup port bills that would have been of great benefit to the public but was actually found opposing them or ducking on the vote. The report will be spread among all local unions and when MT. Merritt bobs up for re- election in November he may have to answer some very pertinent ques- tions. MT Merritt has always been listed as opposed to organized labor and while none of the bills considered important were Labor measures strictly, except the seamen's act, they had great affect on the workers at large, but he was found voting against them.

 Early last year a report reached this country that the Holy See had given instructions that the Welfare Council should wind up it's affairs and be dissolved. Much was made of this report in reactionary quarters, where exists strenuous opposition to the councils liberal treatment of indus trial questions.
 Representations were made to Rome by friends and supporters of the organization, and when the prior action was reconsidered this final de- cision was reached and proclaimed by

HIS FAME AS PICTURE STAR ADDS TO
 VALENTINO'S WOES

Success does not come to a motion picture star without its correspond ing difficulties, according to Rodolph Valentino, Paramount's newest screen luminary.
 Life for the popular star has be- come in the last few months just an orgy of correspondence Before MT. Valentino appeared In Rex Ingram's "The Four Rorsemen of the Apo colypse," he received only eight or ten letters a week from movie fans. Every Sunday then, he. took couple of. hours to clean up his letter writ ing. Following the -Four Horsemen, his mail jumped to 50 letters day and a secretary had to be hired to help in answering them. Then came The Sheik" and the flood of cores pondence became greater, reaching to I5o a day after the release of other secretary was engaged to handle the letter writing.
 When 1t was announced that MT Valentines first starring picture for Paramount would be Blood and Sand" which comes to the Rialto Theater next Monday, and continues all week, his fan mail took another upward turn.
 "I get so much mail I am bewi1d- ered," said Valentino "I'll bet have told where ! was born ten thousand times But there is peculiar fas- cination about getting letters from people all over the world. Each one presents different point of view. It's like playing game and match ing your wits against unseen oppon- ents. The fansl God bless 'em.' They're joy even if they do cause a lot of inconvenience.
 Just like the Englishman who has his tea hour, MT Valentino has his correspondence hour. Every night between 5 o'clock and dinner time, 7:3o, he works with his two secre- taries answering letters. This time, however, is not sufficient to complete the work and the star has to set aside one night week just for letter writ ing On that night he burns the mid night oil going through his stack of correspondence.

ILLEGAL METHODS"
 TO CONVICT MOONEY

Cincinnati, Sept I.-Thomas Moo ney was convicted by illegal and dis honorable methods" declares John P. Frey, editor of the International Holders Journal, in urging trade unionists to petition Governor Steph- ems to pardon Mooney and Billings.
 They should do so as a matter of duty, because Thomas J. Mooney and Warren K. Billings are still behind penltentiary bars in spite of the fact of the prosecuting attorneys state ment that there is no evidence which would prove them guilty of the crime they are charged with," says Editor Frey.
 When a local union forwards a communication to Governor Stephens they should also notify Mrs Rena Mooney, box 344, San Francisco, Cal, so that this loyal woman, who has devoted all of her energy and her time in her husbands defense, may know that another communication has been sent to the governor"
