nent improvement in his condition as
to wages, hours or working condi
tions.
In the union his power becomes
multiplied thousand fold and under
the guidance of trusted and expe-
rienced leaders he has been and still
is able to accomplish much.
Every worker owes it to his fellow
workers to join the organization OF
his craft. He owes it to his fellow
worker, to himself and to his depend
ents.
Ernest Howard Crosby, president of
the Social Reform Club, of New York,
says:
mo wage Garner is doing his full
duty if he fails to identify his own
interests with those of his fellow
workmen. The obvious way to make
common cause with them is to join
a trade union, and thus secure posi-
tion from which to strengthen organ
lied labor and influence it for the
better"
Hamilton merchants and business
men should encourage an organization
like the Typographical Union by hav-
ing their printing executed in union
printing plants. 1t will tend to up
build the city.

Every member of Typographical
Union has reason to be proud of his
affiliation with the International

$4,000 skilled craftsmen in the United
States and Canada. Through the
nearly seventy-fve years of it's his

every improvement that has taken
place in the printing industry. The
introduction of machinery has been
welcomed as benefit, and firm dis
cipline in the shop and fairness in it's

been the rule. It's service to human
ity in the benefits it has secured to
the thousands of its members can
not be over-estimated.
By insuring individual safety, san
itary shop conditions, and decent
livelihood for every member, the span
of life for the average printer has
been increased from 41.25 years in
1900 to 57.68 years in 1925.

STRIKE SMASHED
Damages Now Asked OF

Members

New York. - After smashing a
strike started by group of their
company union" members, the In
terborough Rapid Transit Company
has filed suit for $239,OO0 against 62
of these workers. All except seven
of the strikers have been re-employed

One provision of the company
union" maintained by the transit
company provides that membership is
compulsory and that no employe can
belong to "any association or organ

said brotherhood"
This, it is alleged, is violation of
contract, and has been so held by the
United States supreme court, in the
Hitchman Coal Company against the
United Mine Workers.
The transit company also bases it's
suit on the Danbury hatters' case, in
which the homes and bank accounts

MORE JOBS

at any time since the postwar slump
The Dominion labor departments in

month since 1920. The base rate,

January |, 1920.
In all the provinces firms reported
increased employment, as compared
with July of other years since 1920.
Quebec showed the greatest gains, the
most noteworthy being in construc-
ton, manufacturing and transporta-
ton.
However, the fact that the volume
of employment in midsummer, 1926
registered 81 per cent greater than
in January, 1920, does not indicate a
superabundance of jobs. January is
the month of smallest employment in
Canada, and usually the volume of
employment in July is IL to 13 per
cent greater than at the first of the
year To be normal, as respects Jan
uary, 1920, the index number in July
should have attained 115, instead of
103.7-and that would not allow for
employment of the natural increase
in population and immigrants.

made and won the fight for the eight
hour day in newspaper work and the
forty-four- hour week in commercial
shops.
The greatest obstacle the printers
have met in gaining these benefits is
the host of unorganized workers. He
keeps back and hinders his brother
craftsman in the fight for benefits
and then enjoys in some measure the
benefits when they come. The non
union printer has as good conditions
as he enjoys, not from an especial
consideration of his employer, but be-
cause the organized printers have set
the standards of the industry, which
even non-union shops must approx
mate if they would prevent the union
izing of their non-union workers.
There are other benefits of mo-
ment in membership. There is the
Union Printers Home at Colorado
Springs for the i'll and aged; the old
age pension of So weekly, and NOR
tuary benefit ranging from $75 to
$500.
No progress is ever made in life
without organization. Doctors, law
yers, bankers, manufacturers are
organized, and organized for the same
reason workers organize; to solve
their common problems, to improve
their profession or business, and to
forestall ruinous competition. If they
have differences they make their
compromises behind closed doors and
keep them secret. The wage Garner

Kechnie, manager of the Pittsburgh
National league baseball club for sew
eral years past and pilot of the worlds
champion aggregation of 1925, was
notified by Barney Dreyfuss, Pirate
owner, tonight that his services would
not be required next year.
Dreyfuss, after al conference with
McKechnie late today, announced that
people of Pittsburgh was change
and we must give it to them" Drey-
fuss added that he had no one in sight
for the managerial post next season
but hoped to land good man shortly
He said he advised McKechnie of his
decision at this early date so that he
might look about for another berth.
sMcKechnie took over the Pirate
managerial reins in 1922 when George
Gibson resigned on short notice. AT
that time he was coach and assistant
to Gibson.
McKechnie's rein for several seasons
was tranquil His stock went sky high
in 1925 when he piloted the club to a
National league pennant and thence to
the worlds title over the Washington
Senators. Then came the hectic season
of 1926, when the Pirates, after good
start, were torn asunder by internal
discord. The trouble centered about

Not For snlc


During the final regular series OF
the year at st. Louis with New York
George Sisler, manager of the Browns
pitched the last two innings of the
game that ended the season.
1t so happened that I worked the
first game Sisler pitched in the ma
jors. He had come direct from the
University of Michigan
He had plenty of stuff, including
a fine curve, but of course lacN ed
experience. He soon developed init
star southpaw. Then he was
shifted to first base, so his team
could make daily use of his ability
to hit the ball.
In the final st. Louis game he
showed he still possessed the fasy
breaking curve, for he struck oul
the first two men to face him.
Yet, after the game when L asked
Sisler if he would like to go back
to pitching, he replied:
ct should say not. I'll take first
base for mine.'

president of the club and McKechnie's s

suited in the release of Max Carey,

1t was the general opinion among
followers of the game, however, that
the internal strife had ended McKech-
MES career as PiGate pilot. Few fans
expected him to return as manager
next season, and before the 1926 race
had closed many were discussing the
possibilities in new managers. Those
prominently mentioned included Art
Fletcher of Philadelphia and Stuffy
McInnis, then a Pirate infielder. In
the meantime, however, McInnis was
