ELECTIONS MEAN
MUCH FOR FUTURE
OF TWIN CITIES

The future progress Of the Twin
Cities--Champaign and Urbana--
will be decided on April IL. At that
time the electorate will decide wheth.
er we shall build for the future or
turn back and live in the past.
During the past ten years we have
had substantial gain in permanent
citizens. The people of the state of
Illinois have doubled the number of
boys and girls sent here to receive
an education--the faculty and instruc-
tional staff at the University have in
creased accordingly. During this
period hundreds of new homes have
been erected in all parts of the Twin
Cities and these buildings have
stretched out blocks on the north,
east, south and west of both towns.
New store buildings, fraternity
homes, churches, hospitals and foun-
dations have been erected--old eye
sores have made way for modern
structures. During the past five
years civic interests have made great
efforts in the Twin Cities to catch up
with the progress made by private
citizens. During this period local inn
been numerous. Old worn out brick
pavements. have been replaced and
miles of dirt streets paved. The old
cinder and brick walks have been
discarded for concrete, which at least
is helpful for travel in bad weather.
Urbana is nearly three-fourths COW
cred with lighting system which
makes it safe to go out of an evening
and can see where you are going.
Champaign is following suit and will
be in a fair way even with the other
improvements in two or three more
years. Urbana has more to do yet.
A proper sewage disposal has been
provided for and next comes the inn
portant one of drainage.
During the next two years the Uni
versity will spend two and one-half
millions in new building and now have
including the stadium three million
dollars being spent in buildings.
sIf the people of Champaign APP
prove the Illinois Central will spend
nearly one million dollars for new
depot and improvements here.

and progress-make room for another
5000 students in the next five years
and double the population in fifteen =!
Shall We continue our high stand.
ard of surroundings and living and

The result of the city elections IN
both Champaign and Urbana on April

LESS ATTENTION
PAID TO HUMANS
THAN TO ANIMALS

Two hundred thousand children die
n infancy every year," says Arthur
nrisoane in the Chicago Herald-Ex
sminer. "One-half of them could be
saved If the government thought il
worth worth while to take the trouble,
twenty thousand mothers die in
snlloolrth every year. Three-quar-
.erse OF them could be saved if il
seemed worth while to pay the same
attention to human mothers and their
emloren as the Agricultural Depart
aens pays to female swine and their
onspring." Illinois greatly needs more
ahu better provisions for saving
hhothers and babies from deaths from
these causes.

The annual adjustment of
the wage scale for the crafts
composing the bull d in G
trades group in the Twin
Cities is better than one
half settled-that is, a ma
iority of the crafts involved
have come to an agreement
with the general contrac-

Negotiations began sew

to take effect April l. Fail

suited on April l of cessa-

all organizations of the
Building Trades Council on
jobs held by the general con-

While the negotiations ON the part
Of the nine unions affiliated with the
Building Trades Council are being
conducted by that body, there are
several crafts that are acting inde-
pendently, although q few of the in
dependents are going along with the
Council and are dealing through that
organization.
Agreements have been reached with
the following affiliated crafts: Paint
ers, Sheet Metal Workers, Cement
Enishers, Steam and Operative En-
gineers, Iron Workers, and Building
Laborers. At. the time this article
was written, Thursday noon. it was

The Plumbers, whose contract ex-
pres next Monday, will cease work
on that date If agreements are not

The negotiations have been very
cleanly conducted by both sides. A
spirit of conciliation has been mani

thought all around has been to arrive
at fair and equitable schedule.

LOCAL UNIONISTS
ASK DEFEAT OF
POLICE MEASURE

If local unionists can defeat the
passage of the Illinois State Police
lCossack) bill they are going to do it.
This week more than LOGO letters
have gone forth TO representatives of
this district from local unionists urg-
ing the defeat of the bill, which is now
up for third reading in the house OF
representatives.
This action is taken because it is
believed the bill is aimed directly at
labor unionists. The bill is patterned,
so say its supporters, closely after
that of Pennsylvania, and it is well
known that the Pennsylvania con-
stabulary takes an active part In

The International Trade Unions,
comprising the membership OF the
American Federation Of Labor are
founded on no pfeconceived or pre-
scribed method or form Of organiza-
ton. The method and form of or
ganization is largely a matter Of de-
velopment. The free play Of economic
forces and industrial tendencies large
ly influences the form and method OF
organization Some of the interna-
tional unions are founded upon strict
ly trade or craft lines, while others
embrace, to a greater or lesser de-
gree, all wage earners within given
industry, regardless of trade or craft
lines.
The principal requirement, con
tanned in the articles of federation, or
the constitution of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor, is that no lnterna-
tional Union shall interfere with,
transgress upon or overlap the recog-
nized trade or calling Of another In
ternational Union. No two Interna-
uonal Trade Unions are permitted to
embrace In their membership workers
engaged in the same character OF
work or calling.
Difficulties present themselves at
times in clearly defining trades and
industries. Likewise conflicts arise
between different concepts Of trade
lines and branches Of trades withip
industries. Then, too, the constant
changes taking place in the methods
tools, processes and materials for pro
duction develop contentious. Singly
~, .ot,a binad these dayalonfnpntg make
necessary from time to time the re.
vision of the lines Of demarcation OF
trades and workers included within a
given industry. By the requirement
contained in the articles Of federation
referred to, the American Federation
of Labor is called on to adjust or d
determine conflicting claims Of juris'
diction as they arise. Considerable
