TORONTO, Ont., Can., Oct. 16.— After a strenuous contest of eight months' duration, the strike of the Photo Engxavprs has been finally settled on a basis satisfactory to the union. During the contest scores of me chanics were brought from Great Britain by the employers to act as strike breakers. Several of these were deported by the government, after determined protest by the local union, backed by all organized labor. A very large per cent of these im portations, however, upon being in formed of the real situation deserted their employers and became members of the union. The International Union of Photo Engravers, however, gave splendid assistance to the strik ers, and during the greater portion of the time paid to the strikers $14 per week each. The treasury of the Photo Engravers was the one import ant factor in winning this strike, al though at the recent convention of the International Union it was dedter mined to establish an up-to-date photo engraving establishment in this city, and arrangements were in the making for installing it. Before this was done, however, a settlement was reached. The result of this trade movement points to an important moral in trade union ethics, and that is that high-due unions are able to conduct long and seribus contests and convince their employers that it is more profitable to treat with the unions of labor than to endeavor to crush them. The Photo Engravers in their fight ing proclivities are of the best and that the membership and officials of the International Union fully com prehend the methods necessary to conduct a successful contest. FOUETTE FIGHTS 'S BILL Wisconsin Senator Object to Com mittee Report for Laying Safety at Sea Over. WASHINGTON, Oct. 16.—The com mittee on commerce in the United States senate this week, two reported senate bill No. 136, one of the Sea man's bills, to the senate with the statement that in the judgment of the committee action should not be taken tm the measure untif the regular ses sion, next Decemberr. This recommendation was made be cause of the fact that the Interna tional Conference on Safety at Sea will be held in London beginning Nov. 12, next. Senator La Follette for the session, and owing to this ob objected to having the bill laid aside jection the bill went on the calendar to be taken up in its order. Later the bill was still further ad vanced by being placed under the unfinished business of the senate, which allows the bill to be called up whenever the senate meets. Senate bill No. 136 is what is known as the Nelson bill and is not a satisfactory measure, but the parliamentary situa tion is such that it can be amended by the senate, as it is now unfinished business without any parliamentary restrictions whatever. It is believed that when considera tion is had the bill will be amended in such a manner as to make out of it reasonably fair rand equitable Jaw. Preacher Believes He Has Found Way to Bring Laborers to Church. CHICAGO, Oct. 16.—Will the labor unions of Chicago soon be holding their meetings in the churches? The 600 churches that belong to the Church Federation council will be asked today to grant their parlors and parish houses for that purpose. Walter M, Millard of the church federation is backing the plan and thinks he has found in it a means of getting the workingmen back to the church. "I have found that nearly 600 of the 1,100 labor unions in Chicago meet in halls over or in the rear of saloons," said Millard. "I believe that if the churches thr®ww open their doors to the unions, we will not only hve brought the worker closer to the church, but we will have lessened the influence of the saloonist over the labor vote. HOD CABBIEBS STRIKE AGAINST BRICKLAYERS LOUISVILLE, Ky., Oct. 16.-—The Hod Carriers are on strike, and 200 men are idle. The controversy is similar in character to that Which occurred in Kansas City, Mo., some months ago. The crux of the situa tion is that the trade union ehtlca of the Bricklayers do not correspond with the conception of trade union activity of the Hod Carriersr in thU partcular case. Watch the old maids and bachelors flock to Vienna, since they are going to start a lottery marriage system. San International Union, By Referen dum Vote, Turns Down Proposition to Join. INDIANAPOLIS, Oct. 16.—The members of the Bricklayers and Masons' International union have voted against affiliation with the American Federation of Labor, ac cording to an announcement made by the secretary of that organization. It is reported that out of a total mem bership of 82,351 only 20,351 votes were cast, and of this only 7,373 were in favor of affiliation. The information comes through the press dispatches that it was stated by one of the executive officers that in spite of the adverse vote the ques tion would probably be submitted to the International convention to be held next January at Houston, Texas, and might be carried there. It was asserted that this procedure would be permissible under the or organization's constitution. The Brick layers' union has never been affiliated with the general labor movement, but with the sentiment toward closer affiliation constantly growing it is ap prehended that the time is not far distant when affiliation with the Building Trades department, Ameri can Federation of Labor, will be es sential to the welfare of the Brick layers. ERIE UNIONS START DAILY LABOR PAPER ERIE, Oct. lfi.—A new daily labor paper is to be published in this city.

R0 M0RETR0DBLE FROM PBRCTVBES A a 11 wmnme- THE WORLD E In Face of Bitter Metal Trades Battle, Garment Workers Win Without Strike. ERIE, Pa., Oct. 16.—Another wage scale has been satisfactorily adjusted in this city. The Standard Manufac turing company has agreed of frorm 5 to 10 per cent. The week workers have been conceded the usual holi days. Several changes have been made in* the stitching room, which means practically an increase of 5 per cent. The new price list was secured without friction, the firm's attitude being very fair. This settlement adds to a long record of achievements made in this city during the yearr, about thirty trade union organizations having been benefited by wage in creases and hour reductions. While this city h£s been the storm center of difficulty in the metal trades, the efforts put forth by the various organizations to increase wages and better conditions has been successful to a very- larrge degree, and Erie today, from a trade union standpoint, shows a vast difference from one year argo.
