Detroit Surgeon
 Praises Buchanan

Dr. Chas k. Kuhn of the War
 en Clinic and Diagnostie Hospital vt Detroit, was one of a number ot .ledical men who were aboard the i'rince Rupert last Sunday after noon southbound from a post-eon- Yention trip after the annual ses- son of the American Medical Asso- citation at Portland.
 Dr. Kuhn spoke in terms of high est praise of Geo. E. Buchanan, De- troit business man who is now en- route to Alaska on his seventh tour with Detroit boys. Dr. Kuhn has a son in the group of 53 boys who will be aboard the Princess Louise next Saturday morning. Two older sons have made the trip with MT. Buchanan in former years.
 MT. Buchanan, said Dr. Kuhn, is bachelor and wonderful boy psy- chologist. His influence with boys is remarkable. He teaches them to be self reliant and to know the value of work, the earning, spend ing and giving of money. On these tours the boys are picked for their own worth and the financial and social standing of the family has nothing to do with the selection of the boy. To start with, the boy must not use profanity, indulge in games of chance nor use tobacco.
 The expense of the round trip from Detroit with the many side trips totals $375. MT. Buchanan ad- vances a third of this sum, the boy earns a third and the parents pay a third The boy is in honor bound to sometime pay back what MT. Blu chanan has advanced so that an- other boy may have the trip. They resort to all manner of ways to earn their share. Dr. Kuhn said his young son had risen at five o'clock every morning to carry papers on a route He received a dollar a day for his work and before he was through had acquired a very keen sense of what it means to earn a dollar,
 Mir Buchanan trains the boys in power of observation and the ahil- lty to impart knowledge to others They return to their homes enthu- siastic about their trip and able to share with others, in talks before clubs and schools, the delights and wonders of what they have seen and experienced.

New York City (ILNS)-The Fed
eral Council of Churches has decided
that it is the duty of the churches
to relieve suffering caused by the bit
ter textile strike at Marion, n. g.,
and will send workers and supplies to
Marion. The council feels that even
the employers of Marion strikers
might be asked without offense to
help the families in distress on the
principle stated by Christ: "If thine
enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst
give him drink"
The decision of the council was
made public by Prof. Reinhold Me
buhr, chairman of the commission on
the church and social service of the
Federal Council of the Churches OF
Christ in America. DR.. Niebuhr also
announced that the American Friends
Service committee had agreed to un-
dertake the distribution of relief IN
the field in collaboration with the fed
eral council, which will raise and for
ward supplies and money.
"On October six strikers were
killed and many wounded by the
sheriff's deputies in front of the mill
gates of the Marion Manufacturing
Company after second walk-out had
occurred at this mill. Strikers were
attempting to picket the gates and
prevent the day shift from going to
work A nine weeks strike last sum
mer, occasioned by bad conditions in
the mill, including a l2-hour day for
many workers and low wages, result
ed in a settlement reducing hours to
55 a week and promising no discrimi-
nation against workers for union af-
filiation A wage increase of per
cent week was subsequently
granted.
Increasing dissatisfaction on the
ground of discrimination by the COM
pany against union workers, however,
led to another Walk-out on October Z.

Anti-Union Candidate For
Mayor Beaten With Biggest
Majority City Ever Gave

Indianapolis, Ind. (ILNS) = This
city heard labor speak in no uncertain
terms at the municipal electoon. A.
W. Glossbrenner, republican candi-
date for mayor and the big shot
in the so-called American plan of la
Dor employment, was sunk politically
Glossbrenner was defeated by $4,000
votes. Reginald Sullivan, democratic
candidate, and the entire ticket head
ed by him were elected.
Some 102 labor organizations of
various kinds banded together into the
Non-Partisan Political Action League,
Inc, and rolled up their sleeves for
the express purpose of accepting the
challenge laid down by the non-union
employers association of Indianap-
oils
Glossbrenner was the choice Of the
employers for mayor and through his
election they hoped to thrust a wedge
into the trade union movement in this
city. That they failed is attested by
the vote. The labor factor was or
ganized from the ground up and did
effective work in disposing
of the anti-labor crowd The organ
ization was made up of members of
all political faiths, but who were trade
first, and who resented the

ANTI-UNION HATRED
Behind Failure of Foshay
Enterprises

Bankruptcy of the W B. Foshay
Company, Minneapolis, was disap-
pointing news to trade unionists. The
Foshay Company operated on a strict
ly union basis, though in the midst of
anti-union competitors.
As matter of fact information
from Minneapolis and particularly a
special story from that city published
by Labor, indicates that the hatred
of anti-union competitors had much
to do with the failure.
The stock market crash, it is be-
lieved, gave the anti-union business
competitors of Foshay their chance
to bring him to the ground, and they
were eager for the fall Foshay him
self built the famous Foshay tower
entirely union and was the Labor Day
speaker in Minneapolis last fall
The concern has gone into the hands
of labor's foes, for the receiver is JOS
eph Chapman, director of the North
western National Bank, financial lead
er of the "open shop" crowd Of the
Northwest He was appointed to this
coveted job by Judge John r. San
born, former associate of United
States Attorney General Mitchell.
Foshay is not expected to quit in
his tracks, even though through the
bankruptcy his two banks have been
taken over" by his enemies. He is
young and vigorous and it is going to
be worth while OF watch what's next.
Meanwhile, out of the stock market
mess, labor's enemies have scored.

have headquarters here and there was
plenty of fireworks when the laborites
got into action.
The campaign was unusual in view
of the fact that the nomination of
Glossbrenner was a direct challenge
to organized labor as such.
Sullivan and the rest of the ticket
went into office with the largest ma
jority ever given in mayoralty cleo
ton in this city. AS a result labor is
jubilant and will expect adequate
recognition in the mayors cabinet
makeup when that body is chosen.

Big Things to Come From
Pact Won By Job Printers

Chicago (ILNS)-Chicago Typo
graphical Union No. l6 has blazeo
the trail leading to the eventual es-
tablishment Of the five-day week ir
the printing industry on the North
American continent by entering into
an agreement with the employers
which will give the fve-day week tc
the 4,500 union job printers Of this
city three and half years hence.
The settlement gives day printers
+. a raise from $54 to $57 per week, and
and night men raise from $58 to $50
per week. The contract is to run for
five years, and provides that during
the last l8 months a fve-day week
shall be effective. A trying out of the
five-day week will be made during
June. July and August of the years
1881 and 1882, making the five-day
week effective two years of the five
year contract.
The union, while opposed to the
idea of entering into a fve-year
agreement, thought that the gaining
Of the fve-day week without strike,
and without the loss of time and the
huge expenditure of money involved
in strike, more than offset anything
that might be sacrificed through a
long-term agreement.
Defense Fund Raised
The $500 members of the union had
been paying a 5 per cent assessment
on their earnings for several weeks
to build up defense fund That
money will be refunded dollar for dol
lar as soon as Secretary Treasurer
Bryant L. Beecher can make out the
checks and will come in handy to pay
for Christmas presents.
Charles P. Howard international
president, negotiated the agreement
He spent two weeks in Chicago fol-
lowing a deadlock policy. The officers
and members of No. Is gave President
Howard practically unanimous sup
port.
President Howard is now negotiat-
ing for a settlement of the daily news
paper scale, which has been awaiting
settlement of the job scale. The un-
ion is demanding raise of SO
week for newspaper printers. The
offer of the publishers of 50 raise
was rejected on the advice of Presi-
dent Howard.
Chicago to Lead Way
President Howard is working on the
theory that what he is able to accom-
plish in Chicago at this time viii
largely determine the outcome of ne
gotiations in other cities. He is re-
ceiving enthusiastic support in his
endeavors as Typographical Union
