Governor Foss was condemned
by the Executive Board of the
Massachusetts State Federation of
Labor at its meeting in Boston for
his attitude toward the employes
in the Hyde Park plant. The gov
ernor has refused to arbitrate the
differences at issue and has also re
fused to permit the State board of
conciliation and arbitration to bring
about a meeting between himself
and his employes.
A proposed Federal child labor
act has been introduced by Repre
sentative Copley of Illinois, The
bill would bar the employment of
a child under 14 years of age in any
mill, cannery, workshop, manufac
turing or mechanical establishment
or of a child under 10 in any coal
mine, coal breaker, coke oven,
quarry or in any establishment
where dangerous acids, gases or
dyes are used or the work is dan
gerous or injurious to health or
morals.
According to officials of ihe Shin
gle Weavers' Union since March 1,
1913, fourteen local unions have
been added to the International
Union of Shingle Workers, and
Woodsmen. It is further stated
that despite the fact that far nearly
three months there has been a strike
on at Ballard, Wash., which re
quired much attention, the success
of the organization has greatly ex
ceeded the hopes of those who are
engaged in the work of building
up the union.
At a recent conference of the rep
resentatives of the managers and
producers of plays in the United
States and Canada and officers of
the International Alliance of The
atrical Stage employes it was de
cided to transfer to New York the
negotiations relative to employ
ment problems. It is reported that
the managers will demand the ap
pointment of an arbitration board

and reduction of the number of

by traveling shows.
The first of a number of petitions
to initiate a law excluding all but
English-speaking workmen from
the mines of Arizona has been filed
with the Secretary of State. Pe
titions aie being circulated in every
mining camp, and it is believed
that the necessary namber of names
can be procured to place the meas
ure before the people at the coming
November election. The member
for which the initative is to be in
voked was the subject of a long
struggle in the last Legislature.
An effort was made to place the
bill before the voters in 1912, but
some of the petitions were filed too
late to accomplish this purpose.
The Blnghanipton Tragedy.
Binghampton N. Y. Aug 8. Ac
cording to the latest information,
the dead in the Bingpampton Cloth
ing Company fire reaches forty-one
although there are still sixteen per
sons missing. Twenty-nine bodies
have been recovered from the ruins
but only five of these have been
positively identified. The investi
gation has developed facts which
show criminal negligence, either
upon the part of the owners of the
building or the factory inspectors.
It is stated that the factory was op
erated in absolute defiance of the
law, it having but o ae continuous
exit from the fourth floor, the law
requiting that there must be at
least tw®. There were no real solid
treads upon the fire escapes, and
the general construction of the fire
escapes did not conform to the law.
If it is proven that inspectors ex
amined the building and past the
fire escapes as adequate it is assert
ed that their action was criminal.
One official oi the State, who was
here with other State officials, de
clared that the factory was a death
trap. Mr. Whiskeman, who made
an investigation of the Triangle
fire for District Attorney Whitman,
declared that there was more crim
inal carelessness in the fire here
than at the Triangle blaze. His
investigation revealed the fact that
a stairway running through the
company's building had been re
moved to make room for more
manufacturing area. "It is at?
other case of dollars and cents be
ing placed obove human life," was
Mr. Whiskeman's statement. An
other statement which has been
given out is to the effect that at
tention was called by one of the
employes to the unusual heat in
the building at one o'clock, and
that smoke was noticeable at two
o'clock while the flames were dis
covered at 2:80. This indicates
again a lack of precaution in the
conduct of the factory. This is
one more instance where a desire
for profit had grown to such an ex
tent as to practically waive aside
even the slightest precaution for the
protection of workmen and work
women.

Telephone Operators and Maintenance
Men Will Return to Work.
St Louis. August 8.—The strike
of maintenance men and operators
employed by the Southwestern Tel
egraph and Telephone Company
(Bell) officially was declared ofi
this afternoon.
The strike has been in effect
several wseks. The union leaders
claimed that 300 telephone opera
tors were out, but the company
officials said hall tdat number had
struck.
The strike resulted from the dis
charge of 3*2 operators. The lead
ers of the union claimed that they
had been discharged because of un
ion activity and that their dismissal
waa an attempt on the part of the
company to event the organiza
tion of the girl operators.
About 10 or 15 of these girls, it
is announced, will not be taken
back. All the maintenance men
who struck will be taken back as
fast as there are vacancies, but
none of the men engaged to take
their places will be discharged. It
is expected that work will be found
for all by October.
The strike of maintenance men
resulted from the discharge of sev
eral who it is claimed had been ac
tive in organizing a union.

Cigar Makers Will Strike.
Unless their demands for Increase are
granted to-day.
Voting down the compromise of
fer of the manufacturers to their
demands, union cigar makers, at a
meeting at Workmen's Hall, Cin
cinnati Tuesday night, decided to
call a strike Wednesday night in
every union cigar factory where
the owner does not grant the re
quested wage increase and better
working conditions. The demand
for a new wage scale was made on
ly in union shops, and if a strike is
called about 600 cigar makers will
be effected. The men determined
to meet Thursday morning at 10
o'clock at Workmen's Hall if the
stiike is called.
The demands of the men are for
a flat increase of $1 per 1,000 on
all brands of cigars nd for some
improvements in working condi
tions. The cigar makers work 8
hours per d»y and no change in
hours is asked. As a compromise
the manufacturers offered $1 in
crease for clear Havana and 50
cents for domestic brands. The
international headquarters of the
union at Chicago granted authority
to call the strike last Monday, but
upon the statement of the manu
facturers that no time was allowed
for a settlement, it was extended
until today. Former Secretary
Charles Ackerman, of the Central
Labor Council, took an important
part in the meeting last evening.
A well known cigar manufac
turer, speaking of the demands of
the union yesterday, blamed the
I. W. W. for the trouble. "The
men are earning $18 to $25 per
week," he said, "and their earning
capacity is not affected by age.
The working conditions, even to
ventilation, are excellent. The de
mand made upon union shops is
unfair, as the union manufacturers
have maintained higher prices,
while the nonunion shops, which
they are not seeking to unionize,
employ thousands of girls at low
wages."
CHILDREN
Must Leave Factories
Columbus, Ohio, August 8.
Boys under 15 and Girls under 16
years of age cannot work in Ohio
after August 12.
An opinion construing the new
minor law, which goes into effect
August 12, was given by Attorney
General Hogan to-day to Thomas
P. Kearns, Chief Inspector of work
shops and factories. The law rais
es the age limit at which the minors
may be employed to 15 for boys
and 16 for girls.
The question was asked whether
minors under these ages could con
tinue in their present employment.
The Attorney-General held that
they are barted from so doing.
It was further held that new
schooling certificates would be need
ed, «*nd that boys would be required
to pass a sixth-grade test and girls
a seventh-grade test.
Childrenjof foreighn born parents
must pass the same tests in English
as those of American parents.

The labor men threatened to
throw the weight af 15,000 labor
votes against the passage of a mil
lion-dollar school bond law if the
board refused the demand, but al
lowed two days for a definate reply.
Louisville has been tryihg to build

unanimously, regardless of political
lines. This demand of the labor
forces makes a condition approach

Flat River, Mo., August 8.—
Four thousand lead miners in this

Governor Cox was absent and the

A Uood Law.
Harrisburg, Pa. Aug. 8.—The
Governor has signed what is known
as the Hidinger Bill, which pro
vides for better housing conditions.
The act creates a division of hous
ing and sanitation, subject to the
Department of Public Health and
Charities. This act provides that
no room in any tenement construct
ed since June 7. 1885, shall be oc
cupied for living purposes unless
it has a window lighting area of at
least twelve feet square. Manu
facturing within rooms of tenement
and dwelling is prohibited. Tene
ments must have an open space in
the rear or at the side equal to 20
per cent of the lot, unless such
tenement is located upon the cor
ner of two streets, each more than
20 feet in width. Licenses will be
granted by the Board of Health for
$1 to owners or lesses, and the
taking out of such license is obli
gatory.
The Truth Hurts.
Philadelphia, Aug. 8.—An at
torney for the National Associa
tion of Manufacturers has announc
ed that a libel suit for $500,000
damages was filed against the Phil
adelphia North American, the suit
to be based on an editorial in the
North American, in which the Na
tional Association of Manufactur
ers was referred to as "criminal
conspirators." The same attorney
asserted that other papers that had
exceeded the latitude of "press
freedom" would also be tued. If
this policy is to be pursued the
National Association of Manufac
turers will not have quite so much
money to expend in bribery and
corruption.
Women Clerks.
Zanesville, Ohio, Aug. 8.—The
union Clerks iu this city have
benefited materially by the new
fifty-four hour law, which is to go
into effect. The merchants here
have arranged a schedule, whereby
the clerks are to have two hours
taken off the usually long Saturday
The new schedule arranges for
closing at 9 o'clock at night in
stead of 10. Other arrangements
have been made, making the hours
reasonable, and materially assist
ing the women clerks.
