UTILITY
Plant Strike Wins Union
Agreement

New Orleans (ILNS)-A general
strike at the Shreveport plant of the
Southwestern Gas and Electric Com
pany was ended when the company
complied with workers demands for
an agreement with union members.
The Regional Labor Board had pre-
viously announced that it had held
a series of conferences with both sides
regarding the right Of the union, af-
filiated with the International
Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, to
represent the men. They asked to be
recognized as representing all work
ers Of the firm in Louisiana. The firm
replied by saying that it operated in
three states, and wanted employees in
Texas and Arkansas to vote with the
Louisiana workers. The workers de-
clared that they had been organized
only in this state and wanted only
recognition as representing men here.
Sixty eight employees walked out. The
city was without electricity for As
minutes, but the Texas plant of the
company then provided power.

SECRETARY OF
LABOR
Hopes to See Security Legis-
lation Passed in 1885

Washington, D. C. (ILNs)--In
New Years message to the labor edi-
tors of the nation, Secretary of Labor
Frances Perkins thanked them for
their cooperation with the depart
lnent of labor during 1884 and went
, on to say:
I'VE are better off as a nation than
we were at this time last year. Em-
ployment for the year 1884 as a whole
was approximately II per cent and
payrolls Z per cent greater than for
1888, farmers incomes rose by more
than billion dollars and many busi-
ness concerns reported gains. We
should be able to look forward to fur
ther gains in the coming year.
Among the hoped-for accomplish
ments of 1885 is the passage of legis-
lation which will provide greater
measure of economic security for the
country's wage earners. There should
be some protection against those
vicissitudes of life over which we
have no control-the loss of a job,
sickness, accident, dependent old age
and death of the wage Garner.
1T is my sincere wish that 1885
will bring increased opportunities for
employment at good pay to every
wage Garner in the country and that
the year will mark the laying of a
foundation for a broader, happier and
more secure and satisfying life in the
future

NRLB Rules For Labor in Four
Important Cases Involving IA

The board charged that the COM
panies had bargained with the Los
Angeles Railway Street Employees As
sociation after the street car employees
had designated the Amalgamated As
sociation as their exclusive bargain
ing agency.
In the cases of two Brooklyn, N. Y,
fur dressing concerns, the board
found that the employers violated the
right of their employees to bargain
collectively by closing down their
plants and moving them to points
outside of New York city to escape
collective bargaining agreements. The
cases were regarded as of much inn
portance, and the decisions are seen
as blow at the practice of employ
ers moving to escape bargaining
agreements with their organized em-
ployes.
The companies are the Globe Gable
Corporation and the Shuster Gaio
Corporation. They were ordered to
reinstate those of their employees who
desire work at the new locations and
to recognize and bargain collectively
with their unionized employees.
