Unemployment Greater Than Last Year;
Less Effort By Industry Is Blamed
Statistics Show 1O671,O Out of Work. Relief Needs
Growing, Already Higher Than Last Year

By A. F. of L. News Service.
Washington.-William Green, pres
ident of the American Federation Of
Labor, issued the following statement
on unemployment:
Owe are entering the winter of
1884 with $4,000 more out of work
than we had at this time last year
The American Federation of Labor
estimate shows 1851 900 without
work in industry in October, 1884, as
compared to 1O,122,000 in October
1888.
Business activity in October this
year was 2.6 per cent below last year
and this accounts partly for the in
crease in unemployment. Partly,
however, it is due to the fact that the
effort to increase employment in in
dustry is not SO general as it was at
this time last year.
THE serious implications of this
increase in unemployment cannot be
overemphasized. Relief need this
winter is already higher than it was
last year. Reports from urban areas
show that in October, 1884, the num-
Der on relief rolls was 80 per cent
greater than in October, 1888. In
August, the latest month for which
we have complete figures for relief
in the country as whole, there were
100000 more cases Or nearly 3,OO0,-
900 more persons on relief rolls than
in August last year, an increase of
20 per cent. The total financial OBJ
! legation for relief had increased from
| $61, ,470,O00 to $149, ,426,000, or more
than doubled. This means that, in
addition to the increase in unemploy.
ment, those who have been unemploy.
| ed for long time have exhausted
their resources; those who once had
savings are now wholly dependent
| on relief. Food prices have increased
and the cost of relief is greater; alst
relief in some cases is more adequate
"Unquestionably our relief problem
this winter is the most serious this
nation has ever faced. Trade unior

Refuse to Sign
"YellOw Dog" Contracts

Columbus, Ga.-Refusing to sign
sign "yellow dog" labor contracts,
which it is alleged the company tried
to force upon them, all employees of
the Standard Tailoring Company here,
members Of the Amalgamated Cloth
ing Workers Of America, came out on
strike. When the company learned
that legitimate labor union had been
formed, the firm is said to have at
tempted to force individual contracts
designating their own Organization"
as The workers collective bargaining
agency. The Columbus Central Labor
Union has thrown it's entire strength
to the support of the strikers.

SCANT THOUGHT
For Workers in Canadian
Business Codes"

Ottawa (ILNS)-Labor gets scant
consideration in the business codes"
being formulated under the provisions
of the national products marketing act
adopted at the last session of parlia-
ment.
Some of the codes, approved by the
governor in council, make no reference
at all to wages or hours OF labor;
some suggest that employers should
endeavor to live up to certain stand
ards: in no case are minimum wages
and maximum hours made mandatory.
Otherwise the boards being set up
to regulate the marketing Of natural
products have wide powers. In most
cases, these board are authorized to
require all persons engaged in the
production or marketing of the reg
ulated product to take out license
from the board; to designate the mar
keting agencies, and determine the
quality of the product to be market
ed by each agency; and to prohibit
the marketing Of the regulated prod
uct of any grade, quality or class at
the boards discretion; to cancel the
license of any person or agency for
violation of an order Of the board.
Some boards, or most, can compel
full reports of the transactions of
licenses and inspect their books. They
can conduct pool for the equalization
Of returns received from the sale of
the regulated products.
In short, some Of these boards are
vested with power to set up trading
monopo,ies analogous to the corpora
tions chartered by kings in feudal
times. There is one provision for the
protection of purchasers-where pos
sible a government Inspector is to
certify to the quality of the products

HOSIERY
Workers Battle Local Anti
Union Drives

Philadelphia (ILNS)-A drive tc
push legislation that will halt the ille-
gal anti-union activities of local au-
thorities is being launched by the
Eastern Pennsylvania District Coun-
ell of the American Federation of Hos
iery Workers.
This step was decided upon at 9
meeting of the District Council held in
the federation office here with dele
gates in attendance from the follow
ing branches: Quakertown, Lang
horne, Lansdale, ....orristown, Spring
City and Philadelphia.
This move which the District Coun-
Gil is making was decided upon aftel
hearing reports on the Lansdale anc
Allentown situations, where local au,
thorities by one means or another are
attempting to suppress all union activ-
tiles. 1t was pointed out that two
boroaghs in Lehigh county are plan
ming to pass resolutions similar to
those adopted by the Lansdale Bor,
ough Council which would virtually
make strike impossible. In Allen
town, the mayor and his police force
were assuming the right to prevent
picketing at two plants.
In view of the fact that the incom
ing legislature in Pennsylvania vii
be democratic and committed to 6
program designed to make the state
safe for trade unionists, council
members decided to mobilize its full
strength in an effort to enact laws
that will forbid subsidiary governing
bodies from violating constitutions
rights.
The campaign which the hosiery
will conduct will be carried on through
the State Federation of Labor, ant
in conjunction with all other organ
lied groups in the area where the hos
iery workers have branches.
Officers of the district council in
structed Representative Walter Bran
ley and Research Director John w
Edelman, of the federation, to franz
necessady recommendations for legis
lative action, and to work out plan:
for pushing the drive before the legis
lature convenes..

Peaceful Picketing Legal

Cheyenne, Wyoming District Judge
Sam. M. Thompson, in handing dowr
decision refusing G. w. Plumme1
an injunction against employees on
strike picketing his place of busi-
ness, ruled that picketing is legal when
conducted in peaceful manner. Mem
bers Of Culinary Workers No. 337 are
on strike against the Moffatt Cafe and
Cafeteria, operated by Plummer. The
decision is in keeping with similar de-
cisions in different parts of the coun-
try.

Textile Strike in France

Roanne, France.-Over 1000 textile

,eached.
In the first inning Adams scor-

canto. In the second frame the
Milkmen took the lead, but the
Lopez boys came right back to tie
and go ahead, scoring two runs.
In the fourth. Adams ten forg-
ed ahead once more by pushing
over two tallies. The Milkmen
didn't score no more from then
on. The Funeral Home boys
knotted the count in their half of
the sixth. In the tenth frame,

Baker has done that trick of
breaking up ball games three
times He hits when hits mean
a ball game. He pulled that trick
off on the Tampa bunch and
again Sunday against South Mi
ami and last night in the ninth
frame against the Adams Dairy.
1t seems as though that tenth is
the lucky inning for him. All in
all, Key West has a fighting bunch
of bali players The fans here do
not appreciate what we have but
when an outside club comes here
we always carry home the bacon
and we don't claim to be profes-
sional ball players. We are only
local players and can beat any
thing in Florida We have proven
that on more than one occasion.

of Boston Decision

NEW YORK.-OYer three thousand
shoe workers attended the Arcadia
Hall meeting, Thursday night, called
by the National Co-ordinating Com

In answer to a statement of a
representative of the Brotherhood
group that his organization is not
ready to merge before we decide the
policy of the organization. Mazuma-
MAN OF the Co-ordinating Commit
tee stated that I'VE are interested
now, at this meeting, in consolidation
and unity and that the basis of unity
was established at the Boston Con-
vention."
The proposal Of the committee that
q committee of II be elected to SUI
perVlse the election in the union of
the former Shoe and Leather Work
ers Industrial Union and four Of the
other groups, was amended to ten
Of the former Industrial Union and
I'VE from the other groups.
Ten Of the Industrial were elected
at the meeting. The other groups
will elect one each this week. This
committee will proceed Immediately
with calling of nomination meetings
and the carrying through of cleo
tions.
Biedenkapp's plea for consoida-
ton for unity was greeted with a
tremendous ovation. The audience
rose and cheered with enthusiasm.
Paul Salvagi of Boston reported for
the Co-ordinating Committee.
The reports given on the referen-
dunn vote held by the National Labor
Board show to what extent the bosses
have gone to influence the workers
to vote for the Boot and Shoe scab
agency. The bosses call meetings in
the shops, threatening them with
lockout.
