Hat Trinunmers Organizing. t
New York.--A large number of
small girls are employed at the rate
of $8, $9 and $10 per week in the
Knox hat factory at Brooklyn.
This shop has been nonunion for
14 years.
The United Hatters of North
America and the United Felt. Pana
ma and Straw Hat Trimnmers and Op
orators' union are now attempting C
to organize the shop.
Meetings are being held, and the t
shop is picketed from morning till a
night in an effort to interest the
workers employed there. Some prog
ress is being made.
The ages of the girls employed are a
from 14 to 16 years. 1
These girls are not taught the en- d
tire trade of hat trimming, but part
of it, so that. any attempt to secure I
employment as an experienced hat a
trimnmer in any other factory would S
be fruitless.
In the busy season they receive a
weekly wages, in the dull times they iI
receive piece work.
'Wages are 50 per cent below the o
union rates. b
Even the ('ops Organize.
New York.----Capitalism is struck w
white with terror at the thought that si
the policemen, too, are organizing. n
Employers dread what may happen it
in case an organized "cop"' is called a
to club down a fellow worker in a 0
labor dispute.
In New York the policemen per- I
fected their organization quite re- is
cently. The names of the officials P
have not yet been made public, as ft
the wrath of the police commissioner t(
is feared while the organization is it
in its infancy. It is known. how
ever, that officers have been elected.
that counsel has been engaged, and
that application will soon be made if
for a charter in the A. F. of L. So S
far no man on the force above the is
rank of sergeant has affiliated him- is
self with the organization of the 'I
union, but. a large majority of ser- ti
geants, detectives and patrolmnen in ig
Manhattan, Bronx and Brooklyn are 11
identified with the movement. 1
It is reported that the demands of 11
this new "trade" will include the 01
abolishment of the present reserve 11
system, the adoption of a straight 01
eight-hour day, and a minimum pay oi
of $1,500 a year for new men, with li
an increase of $100 a year until a
maximum of $2,000 a year is reached. at
The germ has spread over to Jer- P
sey City, N.1 ., so that Director Chas. ft
F. X. O'Brien of the department of Cl
public safety sent a letter to the chief
of police in which he said: - ---- -- F
"This movement is a violation of
the rules of the department, and I p
direct that you make an ifivestigation I
and suspend and prefer charges -
against any man or mnen who may c
have been interested in its promo- "
tion. I am a strong advocate of or- ft
ganized labor, but I do not think that c
a movement of this character would
benefit either organized labor or the
community. The purpose of these to
men is to use organized labor f,'i ti
their own selfish interests. Proceed o
immediately to find out the true con- II
dition of the force, and report to mne. a
that I may take such action as 1 may
deem fit for the protection of the
department. Discipline must he main
tained."
On Aug. 15, members of the Bos
ton police force, disregarding a re
cent order of Police Commissioner 5
Curtis forbidding their joining any t
organization outside the departmenti
except the associations of war vete- I
rans, organized a union under char- I
ter from the American Federation of
Labor.
About 1,400 members of the force I
participated in the afternoon and eve
ning meetings.
Labor Protests Hitndu I)eportation.
New York--Following in the wake
of the ringing resolution of the A.
F. of L. convention at Atlantic City.
by which protest is made against the
deportation of Hindu political refu
gees who are now held in New York
city, many individual labor bodies
are now interesting themuselves in the

BUNKER HILL - SULLI
VAN BUNK
In a circular addressed to its em
ployes by the Bunker Hill and Sulli
van company of Kellogg, Ida., the
following paragraph appears:
'"The last census of employes taken
before the war showed an average
period of employment of four years
and-10 months, and many employes
have continued steadily for over 15
years and some for over 20 years,
indicating a stability unusual in the
mining industry."
It will be noted there is no ref
erence to what this sane census
shows of the number of deaths
through accidents, workers becom
ing leaded, and others going down to
untimely graves with the miner's
"con." Wherever we find these indi
cations of "a stability unusual in
the mining industry," we also find
low wages, long hours, the stool
pigeon and other forms of the spy
system, all efforts at organization in
a real union discouraged by every
device known to the masters and a
sad lack of class consciousness and
working-class intelligence on the
part of the 'workers.
Another paragraph in the circular
reads: "During these 20 years of
operation there has been a continu
ous and steady improvement, not
only in working conditions and in
wages and hours of work, but also in
the community itself, and in the
homes of the employes, largely be
cause of the steady employment un
der good conditions and the never
failing large payroll." The wages of
the slaves in Kellogg will buy no
more of the needs of life than tihe
wages of miners in any other camp,
and we would not be surprised to
learn that they buy less than in
many other localities. Kellogg, with
all its "large payroll" and "stability
of employment" is not a law. unto
itself. Conditions there are more rot
ten than in many other camps where
the workers have organized and
forced better hours, wages and work
ing conditions. The wages of the
miners in Kellogg will not buy
enough of the fundamentals of life
to allow of a decent living for the
slaves and their families.
DIRECT ACTION
The tendency of British labor
seems to be toward shelving the
house of parliament and the mon
I archy and placing the actual initia
tion and direction of government un
der an economic non-political control.
The government has surrendered
to the demands of the coal miners,
and now the all-powerful triple al
liance is preparing to use direct ac
tion on behalf of purely political
quest ions.
'l'hie London Daily News emits a
howl and says "it. is better to be
badly governed by parliament than
wisely governed by trades unions,"
while the Morning Post warns the
government that "the revolution is
i making headway."

PATERSON TI1LOOS
WANT44 HOURS
A mass meeting for the tailors of
Paterson, N. J.,-- was held Sunday at
the headquarters of the Amalgamat
ed Textile Workers of America. Gen
eral Organizer Powers was in charge.
The idea of an Industrial union of
tailors such as the A. C. WV. of A.
has a big appeal for the Paterson
workers, many of whom are Italians.
The 57-hour week for bushelmen
and the 54-hour week for tailors
still prevails here.

Coral, Pa.-Miners employed by
the Potter Coal and. Coke company
organized, asked for union recogni

ham issued an iinjunction of the most
sweeping character, prohibiting the
unionists from interfering "in any
I'wiy" with the busifiess of the comn
pany. "
