During the past two years we
have been able to maintain the
shorter hours Of labor that have been
established and in some places have
improved upon the conditions so far
as the hours of labor are concerned
and my recommendation to this con-
yention is, that the policy Of secur-
ing wherever possible, the 8-hour day
for our people be continued and every
effort made to reduce the hours. Of
labor where they go over the eight
hours, down to the 8-hour day. 1t
has not only been demonstrated to
our people that the 8-hour day Is
beneficial but it has been, | believe,
clearly demonstrated to many Of the
employing companies that the o-hour
day makes for more efficient and sat
isfactory line of employees than did
the longer hours.
an recent arbitration where | was
engaged the testimony showed that
the men in shop and repair work
were doing the same work in eight
hours that they had done before in
the 10-hour day, and wherever an hon
est review of the benefit of the short
er hours is made, it shows a great
improvement in the health and con-
dtions of the employees and a higher
standard of efficiency which results
beneficially to the employing com
panies."

The outlook for Labor is what we
make it. Not what it appears to be
or what the capitalist says it is. 1t
lies within the power Of Laboriug men
to create a condition that is satisfac-
tory to them from every angle, both
from the standpoint of hours Of en-
ployment and the scale of wages.
This need not be done by force
physical force, least of all, but by
unity, efficiency and everlasting per
sistence.
Unity Of Labor means that working
men are of one mind and heart. Let
any body of men in the world unite
and they can bring things to pass that
are otherwise impossible.
The hundred and one isms that cap
tivate men in the religious world at
tract also in the world of Labor. II
has been said that the isms in relig-
ion are the stumbling blocks to faith.
In a sense this is true. In the world
of Labor it is doubly true.
There are calls coming for new or
CARNATIONS, party, civic, social and in
dustrial. Some are designed to relieve
the Laboroing man of his distresses,
which are innumerable; others are
conceived to lift the promoters to
power and make them wealthy; 9TH
ers are the dreams of impractical
Missionaries.
As in the church so in Labor organ
ization--common sense is needed in
forming alliances. The Laboring man
will do well to study all systems that
knock at the door of his heart for adj
mission, and to determine for himself
what is fallacy and what is fact. If
he has common intelligence he need
not go wrong. He will do we'll to
study his leaders--what they say,
what they dream-what they do, and
above all how far they get with their
policies and propagandas.
Great movements are born of lead
ers. This has been true of the church,
civil government, armies and all else
that savors of organization. Many
leaders have been impractical vision
aries-others mere office seekers. A
few have been moulders of destiny
There are all classes in Labor move
ments and it takes time to pick out a
leader. You cannot do it in mo-
ment.
At present the policy of the Ameri-

The unemployment situation IN
Germany has reached an acute stage,
according to dispatches to the seefe-
tary of the Department of Labor,
Washington, d. C.
Manufacturers in Hesse and Wurt-
temburg have reduced their produe-
tions and at Pforzheim nearly 400 en-
terprises, employing 10000 wofkmen,
have been forced to a part time basis.
A significant phase of the unem-
ployment situation in Germany is said
to be the increase in the number Of
applications for employment made by
people who never before worked.
This is said to indicate that not only
the laboring classes are seriously
affected by the labor crisis, but many
in professional life and high social
life are compelled to work for living
or starye.
In Sayony partial or complete shut
down of plants has resulted in the
laying of of 10000 men in the city of
Dresden alone. This shutdown of
plants occurred late in October.
In other eastern European countries
the situation is even worse than in
Germany. In Czecho- Slovakia over
100000 workmen are receiving en-
ployment subsidies from the state. In
other words they are being maintained
by state funds, and therefore are
virtually paupers, or would be con
sidered so in the United States.
There is an optomistic side to the
Labor situation in Europe though ii
all appears to come from Great Brit
ain. Railway workers have recently
been granted an increase in pay in
many localities, and this is something
worthy Of commencing, especially in
Great Britain. For conditions there
have been tied up since the war and
forces have been striving with all
their might to keep the wage scale as
low as possible.
This increase has been occasioned
by an increased demand for railway
employees. In one year there was an
increase of nearly 5000 railway EN-
ployes, or nearly | per cent. This
would be a phenomenal increase in
America figured proportionately, and
of course taking into account the
much larger railway system in Amer
lea and the phenomenal increase an
nually in railway facilities.
Unemployment has increased in
Glasgow, Scotland, at the rate of a
thousand a month. In Switzerland
the number exceeds this figure.
Figures elsewhere in European
countries are normal as compared
with last year. But with a winter
holding fair prospects for labor in
America it would not be wise for a
citizen of the United States to i'm
migrahe to Europe.

rest in seven for street car men,
President Mahon said:
In many places we have estab-
lished the one days rest in seven and
Announcements have been made along
that line during the past year. Some
places legislation has been attempted.
While we have not been successful
in securing any great amount of leg
islation the agitation for the one days
rest i'm seven has been beneficial. It
has attracted the attention of all
thoughtful people to our occupation
and to the necessity of men in this
line of work having at least one days
rest in a week that they can have to
devote to their own welfare and in
terest, and | would advise that we
continue our struggle for the one
day srest in seven. Let it be made
a question of contract whenever new
contracts are to be made and where
laws can be secured let that be done
either through State or Municipal
Legislative Bodies"
The extent of the Amalgamated
Associations work for disabled and
aged members and the aid given the
families Of deceased members was
summed up in the following para
graph from President Mahon's re-
port:
During the past term we have paid
1896 funeral, disability and old age
CLAIMS. The amount paid in funeral
benefits was 1851, 1898; the amount
paid in disability benefits was $751;
075.00; the amount paid in cid age
benefits was $94 10000, making a total
paid in funeral, disability and old age
benefits of 81 ,0SS, 634.39."
The convention was one of the
most successful and harmonious ever
held by the organized street railway
men. Despite the fact thit it was
held on the Pecifc Coast, remote from
the large Eastern cities, there was
a large attendance from every part
of the country. Keen interest was
taken in the convention proceedings,
the delegates expressed themselves as
being confident that the gathering
marked big step taken by the street
railway men Of America toward bet
ter conditions for themselves and
their families.

Ohio Defeats Pension.

Columbus, Ohio, Nov. 22.-At the
recent election Ohio voters rejected a
state constitutional amendment which
would legalize cid age pensions. The
proposal was urged by the Ohio state

The new constitutional amendment

which was favored by the state fed

ployers, was approved by the voters.
Under this amendment the ambulance

they will be prevented from securing
