not merely by prohibiting employment,
but by providing suitable education is
partment of labor. The campaign
will be followed in the fall by a back
to-school drive in order to round up the
children who failed to report at the
opening of school. An encouraging
feature of the campaign is that six of
the states taking part in it are among
the ten in which more than 20 per
cent of all the children between 10
and 15 years of age are regularly en
gaged in agricultural work. In three
of the six states taking part in the
stay-in-school campaign, the percent
age of illiterates over 10 years of age
represent one-fifth of the total popu-!make
and slides
lation. Moving pictures
are being utilized in some places to
show the harmful effects of too early
work and the advantages of schooling.

EFFORT TO DESTROY! A. E. EGGLESTON
In
New Orleans.—The effort to destroy
the local building trade unions has
failed. The $18,000,000 building pro

industry, thereby insuring uninter
rupted construction of buildings dur
ing its life. This understanding was
arrived at after a meeting of the gen
eral contractors at which was present
u representative of the building
trades from Beaumont who explained
what had resulted from the attempt
to disrupt the unions in that city by
the agents of the "union busters" who
had been active in that section for sev
eral months past. After the non
union shop propagandists had failed to

Elected Organizer For A, F.
of L. in Hamilton
A. E. EGGLESTON
A fairly attended meeting was held
by the Co-Operative Trades and Labor
Council Tuesday night. A great many
trades unionists who were not dele
gates to the central body attended
meeting expecting to hear Thos.
Flynn, organizer for the American
Federation of Labor, but he being call
ed away Sunday by President Gom
pers and to report at Montreal, Can
ada, at once, was the reason for him
not being there. The officers of the
central body, like the balance of the
attendance, were a little disappointed,
but everybody stayed to hear the bus
iness transacted.
Organizer Flynn, before departing
for Montreal, told the officers that he
wanted to come back to Hamilton, an.I
asked them to communicate with
President Gompers for that purpose.
The secretary was instructed to write
Gompers to that effect. If it is pos
sible for him to return to Hamilton
a larger hall should be secured so
that a large audience can hear him.
The building committee reported
that since the last meeting the differ
ent locals have speeded up a little, and
that money is now being sent in to
the treasurer. Bonds are being more
rapidly taken by the membership, and
from all appearance a good sum will
be realized on the bonds in the next
few days. The committee urged the
locals to make a special effort to gee
their members to buy the balance of
the bonds as rapidly as possible.
Some of the locals reported that they
are holding special meetings to bring
this important matter before their
members. There are a few local i
local unions who have not done all
bonds to their members.

organizer be elected by the council and
his name sent in immediately to Sam
uel Gompers, president of the A. F. of
L. He informed the officers that
other cities the size of Hamilton have
more than one organizer, and there is
no reason why we should not have
two. Several nominations were made
for the new organizer, but all declin
ed the position but A. E. Eggleston,
who told the council that if none of
the other delegates wanted it, he
would take the commission until
another organizer could be found.
Eggleston was nominated and elected.
After being elected he asked the dele-
