J. Foster, Manager THE LABOR JOURNAL BREAKER BOY PASSES. Modern Machine Replaces Youthful Toilers In the Coal Regions. The day of the little breaker boy has passed In the anthracite Held. No longer Is Jt necessary to employ the little fellow of tender years and per mlt him to wear his ringer nails down to the quick in cleansing the coal to make fortunes for the barons of the anthracite region. A fair test of mod ern machinery has proved to mine owners that the breaker boy is no longer a necessity. Proof has come in the new breaker which W. G. Payne, an independent operator, with several collieries, has erected at Luzerne. Pa., lo replace the old structure Consumed by fire In October, 1011. When he began plan nlng for bis new structure I'ayne de cided that he would have a modern breaker, and he so built It that the breaker boy could be dispensed with. After one week's lest he announced that he can get along without the services of a single boy. Machinery at the new Payne break er dumps all coal at the head of the breaker, where it passes Into shakers, which separate the lump coal. All lump coal passes on to three moving tables of irop, each twenty eight feet In length, and five men are engaged In picking out rock and bone from the lump sizes. All the coal that passes inspection of these men passes into the breaker In pure form, being abso lutely hand picked coal. From the picking table the coal passes into the different shakers, where It is sized, and from these shakers runs into spiral pickers, where it is thoroughly cleansed by mechanical process. Success of the new Payne breaker Is proof that it is no longer necessary to take the boy above fourteen years of age, till his lungs with the coal dest of the breaker and have him stunt his growth and perhaps ruin his health for the pittance of 75 cents a day ot nine hours. „ THE TAILORS' STRIKE. Garment Workers Want Increased Pay and Eight Hour Day. The strike of the tailors which began Dec. 30, promises to be the greatest on record in the clothing Industry in New York city. Estimates of the number of persons who will be idle vary from 80.000 to 125,000. The uncertain factor is large ly composed of the tenement house workers—those who take the goods home to make them up there. Much of that kind of work is done by women, who impress their children into service. These women are now a familiar sight in the streets as they trudge along with huge bundles of cloth balanced on their heads or carried on their backs. The strike, which is under the aus pices of the United Garment Workers' union. Is confined to the makers ot out er garments for men and boys—over coats, coats, vests, trousers, jackets, reefers and knickerbockers. The garment workers are asking: Increases of 16 to 20 per cent in wages. An eight hour day. Full pay for all overtime. Sanitary shops. No sweatshop or tenement house work. Abolition of the subcontractor sys tern. According to an estimate bj Epbralm Kaufman, chairman of the executive committee, between 80,000 and 125.000 garment workers are directly affected. The Ladies Waist and Dressmakers' union may strike later, making 200.000 persons in all to quit work Over 3.000 manufacturers of men's clothing are concerned? with an aggre gate capital of approximate!} $40,000, --000.

International Union of Machinists Pre paring to Make Demand. President W. 11. Johnson of the In ternational Association of Machinists in the course of a recent interview in New York city said that the ma chinists were getting ready for a na tional eight hour workday demand. This demand will be made in all the cities at one time, like the eight hour demand of the machinists in 1901, which was followed by a national strike. At present, he said, there were in the union about 100,000 machinists, and there were in all about 300,000 machinists in the United States, most of whom were nonunion men. "Our organizers are busy throughout the country forming new locals." he said, "and we find that there is a gen eral disposition on the part of the non union men to join in the eight hour demand, which will be made in the spring all over the country. We ex pect by that time to have the mnjoti ty of the machinists throughout the country with us. and if possible we will try to bring about the eight hour work day without a strike. We will make every effort to avoid a national strike this time, but everything will depend on the attitude of t lie employers. Some of them have already shown a disposition to grant the eight hour workday, but they are iv competition with others, who do not want to yield unless they have to do so." The Short Day In Australia. All the states of the Australian com monwealth have accepted forty-eight hours as the maximum limit for fe males and males under sixteen. Legis lation has virtually put an end to fac tory night work iv the case of women and boys. The commission recom mends that the actual working hours for women and Juveniles iv factories should uot be more than eight hours for five days In the week and no more than four on the sixth day. Employ ers now generally recognize that the shortening of hours Is. as far as output Is concerned, compensated by addi tional energy and vigilance over the time which accrues to the worker.—Chi cago Tribune.

' For protection of the worker from J dangerous machinery, occupational . diseases nnd mortality. * For the right of all men to the op- • portunity for self maintenance, for 1 safeguarding this right against en- . croachments of every kind and for . protection of workers from hard- • ships of enforced unemployment • For suitable provision for old age ] of the workers and for those tnca- , pacltated by Injury. ■ For conciliation and arbitration tn • Industrial disputes. " For a release from employment j one day In seven. < For graduul and reasonable re- • ductlon of hours of labor to lowest • practical point and for that degree ' of leisure for all which Is a condl- ! (ton of the highest human life. , For a living wage as a minimum • in every Industry and for the high- • est wage that each Industry can ai ' ford. , For the moat equitable division of . the products of Industry that can i ultimately be devised ' John Mitchell, vice president of the American federation of Labor and ar bitrator selected to decide questions In volved In the settlement of the affairs of striking pressmen and stereotypera of the Chicago daily newspapers, has rendered a decision.
