PAY IS LOWER IN CINCINNATI, SAY SHOPMEN Wanes in Cincinnati arc 10 to :.'() cents an hour less than in other cities, and the efficiency system makes it hard for their incinliers to do the task set hy employers, the -Machinists' Union said in a .statement issued December 7 to justify the strike. "The machinists offered to stilmtit to arliitration, which scents to show they have a justiliahle cause for this strike," the union said. "William Ltlackmaii, of the Depart ment of Labor, and the State Industrial Commission, have failed to adjust mat ters, and hundreds of machinists are leaving Cincinnati for other cities," the union added. The union asks a forly-eie,ht-hour week, runniiiK ciu,ht and one-half hours the lir--t live days, and five and one-half hours on Saturday, anil time and half pay after regular hours. The same rate of pay as at present, and recognition f an Employes' Committee on (irievances, also are asked." "Wanes locally are on a par with those paid elsewhere, and aliovc par with pre miums and liouuses," August II. Tctieli tcr, President of the Cincinnati llickford Tool Company," said in reply. "Our efficiency system is hased on the settled fait that all workers are not etially efficient, ami those who do the most and hest work should net the most money. We are Hcttine; away from the old idea that one man earns as much as another. "We can prove hy the way our shops arc runnitiK that few machinists have left the city. "We won't auree to arliitration, be cause we have nothing to arbitrate." THACIIKKS FAVOIt COMI'l'LSOKV lODt'CATlON. Uichniond, Va. The State Teachers' Association, at its convention in this city, declared for compulsory education to replace the present system, which leaves the question optional to the vot ers of the various Virginia school dis tricts.

The Electrical Workers' Union has voted to call off the strike against the htlyro-elcctric commission, and this municipally con trolled utility has made a record in that it is the first to reject an award agreed to hy a hoard of investigation and con ciliation appointed by the Dominion gov ernment under the industrial disputes act. This law is intended to check strikes and lockouts in public utilities. It pro vides that a strike or lockout is illegal before a hoard, appointed by the gov ernment, investigates and reports on the question. Under this act the electrical workers asked for the appointment of a board to consider their increased wage demands. The board made an award in favor of the workers, which was rejected by the commission in charge of this public utility. To enforce the award of the government's representatives, the men struck. They have now declared the strike off and have accepted less liberal terms than those favored hy the company's representative on the conciliation hoard. The ending of this strike is bound to have a far-reaching effect throughout the entire Dominion as it will undoubt edly increase opposition to an act that has been declared to be the last word as a strike preventative in public util ities. The Industrial Banner, official news paper of Toronto trade unionists has this lo say of the hydro-electric com mission's policy : "Incidentally it may be stated that the commission lias handed out the hardest blow to the Canadian disputes act that it has ever received. It is well known that a growing number of the labor or ganizations are openly antagonistic to the act, which they insist favors the em ployers as against the employes. Under its operation the workers on a public utility can not go on strike until an in vestigation is held, and it is pointed out that sometimes that occupies weeks and enables the employers to prepare for trouble and secure strike-breakers to de feat the efforts of their employes to secure better conditions. The action of the hydro-electric commission will have a tendency to strengthen the hands of the element who are in favor of the re peal of the act." (,'OMI'IOXSATION ACT UI'IIKLI). Des .Moines, Iowa. The State Su preme Court, in the longest decision ever filed in that tribunal, has upheld the Iowa workmen's compensation and employer's liability act. The Consoli dated Coal Company of Colfax had re jected the compensation feature of the act and was only liable under the em ployers' liability act. An employe sued the company and was awarded damages for injuries by the Jasper County Dis trict Court. The company, in its appeal, attacked the constitutionality of the law. It also held that the lower court had erred in refusing to permit it to prove to the jury that it was not responsible for the accident. The supreme Court upheld the company in this latter con tention and remanded the case for re trial. "In all other respects," said the court, "the decision below is right and the vitality of the statute Under con sideration is hereby affirmed." CO.MIiAT'i"IX! WIIITK I'LACUF,. Lansing, .Mich.

STREET Brighton RELIEF URGED BY PROBERS Washington. The Committee on In dustrial Relations, formed hy Frank P. Walsh, in co-operation with trade union ists and others who recognize labor's leadership, will hold its first formal meeting at the headquarters of the com mittee in Washington. December 11. Members of the committee are now put ting the finishing touches to the bills which Congress will he asked to pass in order to strike down the abuses ex posed hy the Commission on Industrial Relations, with especially reference to the forces that block labor in its effort to organize. One of the most important of these measures is intended to pro hibit the importation in interstate com merce of strikebreakers, armed guards and machine guns. The A. I, of L. Convention at San Francisco had this to say of the new committee: "We most heartily indorse the work of the United States Commission on In dustrial Relations and welcome the sup port and co-operation of the proposed Committee on Industrial Relations, with the end in view of furthering legislation, both National and State, in harmony with the fundamental principles of trade unionism, as expressed in and hy the American Federation of Labor." A. F. of L. Vice-President O'Connell, together with A. F. of L. Treasurer Lennon, took an active part in the work of the Commission on Industrial Rela tions. They arc also members of the new committee. "With the commission's report before them, I can not see how Congressmen can refuse to act favorably on the meas ures we are submitting for their con sideration, said Vice-President O'Con nell. "They not only have the facts be fore them as they never did before, hut the demand for action is now backed by the tremendous power of a public opinion which has been aroused by the bearings and reports of the Federal Commission."
