MAGAZINES FANTASTIC CHARGES AGAINST
UNION MECHANICS IN TRADES EXPLODED

By IntarnatlonaI LaboF News ssfvies
NEW YORK CITY, june il.-The
American Mercury. 4 magazine of
the intelligenzia, which is taking ma
licious delight in printing critical ar
ticles on established institutions, is
acquitting itself with. the employing
class by an attack on the unions but
little disguised since it comes from
an employer.
G. Frederic Pelham, Jr., has joined
the 'smart Alecky" crowd with q con-
tribution on Adventures Among I'm
ion Men," as he calls his experiences.
In this he tells of the woes of the con-
tractors, the owner. and the architect,
and their alleged suffering at the
hands of the building trades, among
the best organized and militant unions
of the American Federation of Labor
in city in which the industrial re-
lations have been most harmonious.
Whether his purpose is to engender
strife or to pep up the morale of the
employers for an attack on union la
Dor can only be conjectured. Yet it is
no secret that there has been a group
of architects in the district that has
schemed for years to disrupt the har-
monious relations in the building in
dustry.
The Gist of the Charges
The first lament concerns the al
legged action of a group of lathers that
December Is (place not given) in
formed the owners they would be un-
able to proceed with their work be-
cause the windows were not glazed.
The author pictures the lathers rs re-
fusing to work because their union
forbade them arbitrarily. He added
that no glaciers could be had to put
in the windows and as a result there
was long delay and expense later from
frost to the plaster.
What are the general facts con-
cerning the lathers' case? There is
no union bylaw that prohibits lathers
from working after December Is as
described. Take that from Michael
]. McClosley, business agent Of the
wood fathers local. There is an agree
ment between the union and the lath-
ing contractors on the subject and II
is to this effect:
Lathers to work rapidly carry the
thin lath nails in their mouths. They
are often called mail eaters" in the
trade. In cold weather even hard
boiled architect like Mr.. Pelham would
find out it is no fun to stow . hand
full Of icy cold and frozen wire nails
In ones mouth and put up lath. The
cold nail freezes to the lips and tears
the skin. And so it is customary for
the lathers to insist that the building
be nclosed-ordinary linen or other
windbreak will do, before they go on
with the job. The best date for this
is December 10. To. this extent the
Mercury's contributor is right.
State Law Requires Enclosing
Furthermore there is a State
statute that buildings in process of
completion must have the window and
door spaces closed by about that time
to protect the owners and the work
men from frost conditions. So the
"crime" of the lathers is practically
no more than the law and practical
experience already requires.
There are more vague and unspeci-
fled charges in the article, including

Command OF the People OF the
State OF Washington

Buildings of the Pacific telephone sys-
TEN in the State of Washington, grouped as they
might be to constitute modern city, appear in the
above picture
Every building in the group is owned by
the Telephone Company and is devoted entirely
and exclusivelyto the transmission of speech.
They are all essential in providing
channel of speech from any telephone in this city
or state to any other one of 100000 telephones
throughout the nation.
In value they are less than one-tenth the
property and facilities of the Pacific Company in
Washington; with the lands on which they stand
they cost 81 000 without taking into account
single piece of apparatus which they were erected
to house. and without reference to fiftyfour other
buildings rented by this one telephone organiza-
ton in Washington.
A City of Service the above buildings
may be called 1t is an imaginary city only in the
grouping of the units which compose it. They are
in actual fact widely scattered throughout the
state. But they are Also in actual fact, as closely
associated through the magic Of communication as
they appear here to be in physical proximity.
This picture of the City of Service does
not reveal the four thousand men and women-al all
residents of the state, each citizen of the commu
nifty in which he or she lives-who construct main
tain, and operate the telephone system who give
life and reality to the service,

Day and night, year after year without
interruption, alert young women and skilled men
on duty in these buildings to connect calls and
to insure that your spoken message is successfully
transmitted
Outside of the buildings, under the
ground, along streets and highways through
mountains and countryside, into sky-scraper
and modest cottage, men trained in numerous spe-
cialized occupations developed with the progress
of telephony are engaged in building, extending
and improving the system of spoken communica-
ton for which the central offices serve as nerve
centers
We're all of the people employed by The
Pacific Telephone and Telegraph Company in the
State of Washington to be assembled in one COM
munity-such as in this imaginary grouping of
telephone buildings and were their dependents
to be assembled with them, they and their families
would alone make city about the size of Olympia,
the Capital I
The homes in which they live the stores
from which they buy, the banks in which they
deposit their individual accounts, the professional
people whose services they require, the amuse-
ments they patronize the churches and institu-
tons they help to support, the civic activities in
which they engage-all would in turn requirej
other buildings and houses making far larger
city than is suggested by the picture of telephone
buildings or than would be produced in counting
as population merely the telephone men an
women and their families.

GRAND JURY WITHHOLDING
RUM SCANDAL REPORT

No definite report has come from
the Grand Jury relative to Burling-
ton County's rum scandal. There have
been two sessions this week and it is
understood that they will meet again
to-day. The presumption is that the
investigation has come to the point
of formulating report and it would
not be surprising to have a presen-
tation made to Justice Lloyd when
he opens the December term of court
in Mount Holly next Tuesday.
1t has not been the custom in Bur-
lington county to have two grand
juries in existence at one time, and it
is understood that the law does not
provide for condition of this kind,
and it is reasonable to suppose that
the present investigating jury will
make a report before the next jury
is sworn in. An elisor grand jury
could be continued, it is stated but
the present grand jury has not been
so constituted.

legged who can make someone happy.
Of course, that makes you think of
Christmas gifts, but there is another
kind of giving that will reach farther
and produce greater benefits. Do
you know that in this community, as
in all others, there are little babies
who, are cold because they haven't
enough clothes to wear? There are
children in school who haven't sim
gle undergarment to protect them
from the weather.
Haven't you tucked away in your
trunks or storerooms something
which will help? Perhaps the moths
will eat it in spite of all the care
you may take. Won't it be better
to pass it on and feel that you have
warmed little body and taken the
cold, blue look from a Ettqe face?
You may have much, you may have
little, you may have only one article
of clothing. But it will help.
i The greatest cali is for shoes and
undertaking, although any wearing
apparel is acceptable. You may
leave your contributions with Harry
McCloskey, who win take charge of
them and carefully place them where
they are most needed. If you cannot
deliver the clothes yourself, call Mr..
McCloskey and, undoubtedly, he can
find willing boys and girls who will
cain for them. The children to be
cared for range from infants to
those of high school age.

MAN KILLED WHEN STRUCK
BY FLASK AT PIPE FOUNDRY
Another Employe Has Hand Broken
AIT Burlington Plant

One man was killed and a fellow
employee had his hand broken when a
30-inch flask, weighing about 8 tons,
fell and struck them while they were
working in the plant of the United
States Cast Iron Pipe and Foundry
Company, East Burlington, on Mon
day afternoon
Joseppa DeVito, resident of Bur
lington, had his skull fractured and
sustained other injuries. He died in
Cooper Hospital, Camden, to which
he was taken as quickly as possible,
a few minutes after being admitted
to the institution.
Patrick Boyle, another Burlington
resident, was taken to his home,
where it was found that he had
broken his hand.
Boyle and DeVito were in one of
the big pits at the foundry plant
working on the flask when something
went wrong and the mammoth piece
of ironf ell, striking both men.
