Times are rather busy with us,
more so than the most of us like, for
the weather is so hot that it makes
one feel so lazy and tired, and you
know there is not many that will own
they are lazy, anyway girls, so the ma-
jority say they are sick, get off and
go home, but it is just as hard to go
back to work the next morning. So
you see there is nothing gained by go-
ing home the day before, except you
keep others from thinking you are la-
zy. Well there is one consolation, we
have but one more hot month, and
then the weather will be cooler. And
still we know the weather is a very
small matter to complain about as ev-
ery one else is in the same boat. So
with this exception will say we are
just getting along splendid.
And we hope the union brothers
won’t forget the Houston Garment
Workers when they buy the next over-
alls. Mr. Scott is very much pleased
to know all the Level Best tags burned
in the Labor Temple. He said it was
very nice we union people got the vote
for them and very nice for him as
the Labor Temple burned the tags
were there and had never been pres-
ented to him. He thinks he has the
lough on us but we are going to try
and turn the joke on him before labor
day, as he said he did not mind at all
paying out the money for them when
knew union men of Houston were
wearing the overalls made by union
girls. Mr. Chapman of the Chapman
Mfg. Co., has gone to Wisconsin to ac-
company his wife home who has been
visiting home folks the past month.
Mrs. Leia Gladish went to Magnolia
to a picnic last Thursday.
We are glau to hear that Secretary
Lord is able to be out again.

The present question of the times is
geographical, as well as political and
historical. It is evident that the map
of Europe is on the point of being
much altered.
Youngstown, O.—With the declara-
tion that the Republic Iron & Steel
Company will demand an open shop
for its Brown-Bonnell plant here and
the Moline (Ill.) plant in connection
with the certain “open shop” policy
of the United States Steel Corporation
in its tin plate and sheet mills, the
Amalgamated Association of Iron,
Steel and Tin Workers is facing the
gravest situation that it has ever had
to contend with, not excepting the
strikes of 1901 and 1903. The demand
for an open shop on the part of the
Republic came at the time that the
Western Bar Iron association was in
conference with the Amalgamated at
Cambridge Springs this week, and
was not known until Saturday, after
an agreement had been reached with
that association. It was a bolt out of
a clear sky and has completely dazed
the Amalgamated.
Chicago.—A sum of $125,543,947 was
paid out in wages to 175,000 employes
of the Pennsylvania railroad system
in 1908, according to a statement is-
sued. The amount is $29,471,951 less
than, was paid the year before, when
$155,015,808 was paid to 199,000 men.
Although there was such a large de-
crease in the total sum, the rate of
wages as established for 1907, which
was ten per cent, greater than the
rate paid during the greater part of
1906, was maintained for all classes of
employes through 1908. There were,
however, some reductions in hours in
1908 which affected the gross sum
earned by certain classes of em-
ployes.
Sharon, Pa.—Within ten days the
Carnegie Steel Company will be oper-
ating its big works in South Sharon in
full, affording employment to 2,000
men. Orders have been received to
get the skelp mill ready for imme-
diate resumption. This will require
ten days’ time. It has been idle since
November, 1907. No. 1 blast furnace
will resume next Tuesday and all of
the open-hearth furnaces and coke
ovens will go into operation. Nearly
600 additional men will be needed
when these departments are started.
It has been two years since the South
works of the Carnegie Steel Company
operated its plant at full capacity.
Omaha, Neb.—The International
Printing Pressmen’s and Assistants’
Union of North America, at their
twenty-first annual convention in this
city, elected the following officers for
the coming year: President, George
L. Berry, San Francisco; first vice-
president, Peter J. Dobbs, New York
city; second vice-president, Michael
H. Flannery, Chicago; third vice-pres-
ident, Clayton A. Pense, Chicago; sec-
retary-treasurer, Patrick J. McMullen,
Cincinnati. All those elected except
the third vice-president are present
incumbents. President Berry was re-
elected without opposition.
Boston.—Ladies’ tailors and dress-
makers recently establiushed a rule
that no member could work overtime
while there were members unem-
ployed. Several members violated the
rule. Recently they made their peace
with the union by paying to the men
and women unemployed at the time of
the violation the full amounts they had
received for all overtime work.
New York.—During 1908 the Boot
and Shoe Workers’ International union
paid 155 death benefits, which aggre-
gated $13,300; six disability benefits,
$375, and a total of 13,783 weeks’ sick
benefits, aggregating $68,917.08, mak-
ing total for benefits expended $82,-
792.08.
Buffalo, N. Y.—The Lackawanna
Steel Company posted notices an-
nouncing a ten per cent, increase in
wages of both office and mill forces,
effective July 1. The Lackawanna, iw
common with other independent com-
panies, cut wages last March when
business conditions were discouraging
and the trust was cutting prices. “The
increase is effective straight through
the plant,” said Superintendent Downs.
“As to the significance of the action
I need only say that business condi
tions warrant the increase, therefore
it is given.”
Portland, Ore.—Organized labor in
the state of Oregon has, through its
representatives, prepared a bill to be
presented to the state legislature to
prohibit the manufacture of stoves in
the state penitentiary. There are 150
convicts working in the stove plant
and the state receives from the con-
tractors 45 cents a day for each man.
The free laborers in the stove indus-
try are paid from $2.50 to $3.75 a day.
Pittsburg, Pa.—The International
Molders’ Union of North America and
the Associated Iron Molders of Scot
land have entered into an agreement
relative to the exchange of cards be-
tween the members of both unions.
Pittsburg, Kan.—All the miners in
the north end of the Pittsburg coal
field, about 6,000 in number, quit work.
No strike had been called, but the men
decided to suspend work until a de-
cision is reached in the check-off dis-
pute. A break in the ranks of the op-
erators occurred when two companies,

Pittsburg, Pa.—After two days of
a strike, marked by violence and which
tied up the entire street car service of
the city, a settlement was effected at a
hastily called conference of union men
and car company officials. In the of-
fices of the mayor articles were signed
by the officials of the Pittsburg Rail-
ways Company and an executive com-
mittee from the Amalgamated Associa-
tion of Street and Electric Railway Em-
ployes which will for years to come
prevent another tie-up of the 400 miles
of street railway tracks in and about
Greater Pittsburg and Allegheny coun-
ty. The strike, it developed, was the
outcome of but two points of differ-
ence between the car company and the
motormen and conductors, one being
the alleged neglect upon the part of
the car company to shorten “swing
runs” and the other of the refusal of
these railway officials to reinstate dis-
charged men without proper hearing.
With slight modifications an agree-
ment allowing discharged men proper
hearings before superintendents and
the assurance of the car company that
the secretary will shorten “swing
runs" 50 per cent, was drawn up and
signed. Greater Pittsburg’s first street
railway tie-up was thereby effectively
avoided.
I Indiaanpolis, Ind.—A sanitarium for
.members afflicted with tuberculosis
•will be the realization of Cigar Mak-
ers’ International union, if sentiment
among members crystallizes. The
matter is being discussed by all of the
unions upon an amendment offered by
the local of Sioux City, la. It is pro-
-posed to erect and maintain a home
and sanitarium for aged members and
members afflicted with tuberculosis
and unable to work at the trade. It
is intended to appoint a committee of
five, which will devise methods of
raising the funds and take steps to ac-
quire the land necessary for the
project.
j Washington.—The suggestion that
the enforcement of the so-called
"hours-af-service law,” relating to the
■employment of men on railroads, be
postponed until there is a final de-
cision of the supreme court of the
United States, determining all possi-
ble controversies as to its construc-
tion, “cannot be entertained,” an-
nounced Attorney General Wicker-
sham in a letter made public the
other day. The request for postpone-
ment was made by General Attorney
E. S. West of the St. Louis Southwest-
ern railroad to the Interstate Com-
merce commission, which referred the
letter to the department of justice.
, Cambridge Springs, Pa.—The repre-
sentatives of the Western Bar Iron as-
sociation and the Amalgamated Asso-
ciation of Iron, Steel and Tin Work-
ers, who have been conferring for
some days on a wage schedule to gov-
ern the wages of the iron mills for
1909-10, reached an agreement. The
settlement affects all the mills of
the Western Bar Iron association,
(together with a number of inde-
pendent concerns who are not affiliat-
ed with that body. The prices agreed
upon are practically the same as
those that prevailed during the past
year. Ten thousand men are affected.
; Atlanta, Ga.—The Georgia railroad
strike arbitration board decided
against the seniority of white firemen
over negroes. The arbitrators, how-
fever, placed a premium on intelligence
among firemen, which, it is believed,
will ultimately result in the gradual
’elimination of all except the most ex-
pert negroes.
‘ Indianapolis, Ind.—The executive
hoard of the Mineworkers has refused
to grant the request of Central Penn-
sylvania operators for a reduction of
the wage scale in those districts. The
operators complained that on account
of competition from non-union dis-
tricts they were unable to pay the
present scale and at the same time
make a profit out of the coal business.
“We do not know what the operators
will do,” said President Lewis, “but
we certainly will not grant a reduc-
tion in wages.”
Atlanta, Ga.—The preparation of a
bill to exclude negroes from employ-
ment as firemen and trainmen in this
state was begun by a committee rep-
resenting the firemen and trainmen of
the Georgia railroad. The measure
will be presented to the Georgia leg-
islature, now in session. A bill al-
ready introduced in the house requires
an educational test for negro firemen.
Tallahasse, Fla.—The Florida house
of representatives by a vote of 38 to
27 recently passed the Farris child la-
bor bill, which makes it unlawful for
children under 14 years of age to work
in factories, mines, poolrooms, etc.,
during the months schools are in ses-
sion.
New York.—New York employers do
not want men over 50 years of age.
The special employment bureau for
the handicapped, conducted by the
Charity Organization society, reports
that in a year it has been able to find
work for only 75 men out of 193 who
were over 50 years old, in each case
the applicant’s age being the only ob-
jection.
San Francisco.—The men employed
in the iron .trades have received a re-
duction of 15 minutes a day. This re-
duces the workday under the agree-
ment with the Metal Trades associa-
tion to 8% hours a day.
Chicago.—Beginning July 1 the price
of working cards which are issued to
members of the Associated Building
Trades were increased from five to
ten cents a quarter. This will in-
crease the revenue of the organization
to more than $20,000 a year. Officials
of the, building trades say the price
of the working cards was raised in
order to meet increased expenses of
various kinds.
Bloomington, Ill.—The Chicago &
Alton announced an increase in the
py of all section hands to $1.35 per
