WHAT IS "GOOD GOVIORNMHNT?"
Indianapolis. The official paper of the
Bricklayers' International union says:
"If good government were possible
through the medium of law, the United
States, individually and collectively,
would have reached the inilleniuin, for
the reason that we have been passing
laws to fit every kind and sort of condi
tion. Good government does not come
that way. Every reform in history has
come up from the people, not down
through law-making power to the people.
The future of this country rests with the
great common people the every-day
man who never gets into the newspa
pers but who does his day's wo'rk and
raises his family and lives his life. He
is the man who is the court of last re
sort. His ideals arc growing higher
every year. And as he raises his stand
ard so the standards of the state are
raised, for lie is the state."
RH.JKCT liAIIOK PARTY l'LAX.
Boston. At th'c meeting of the execu
live board of the Massachusetts branch,
A. F. of L., it was stated that the re
turns of the referendum vote shows that
organized labor in this state is opposed
to the formation of a, labor party. I lie
question has been urged for several
years and at the last convention it was
referred to the executive board, who
submitted it to a referendum vote.
1'IiAY OM DIVIDING RAMI.
Jerome. Ariz. The city council has
ordered that public speeches on the high
ways of this municipality shall cease
forthwith. This action was taken 'be
cause of a petition from a committee of
Mexican residents who -aver that agita
tion on "any subject" would tend to
cause misunderstanding between Mexi
cans and Americans.
Trade unionists laugh at this state
ment. They say the United Verde Cop
per company is behind the move, and is
only interested in checking any agita
tion that will bring American and Mexi
can workers together.

STRIKE FAVORED
BY 90 PER CENT
OF RAILROAD MEN
Unions Declare Xo HiiIf-AVny Meas
ures Will Satisfy Linos Allowed
Timu To Discuss Situation.
New York. More than 00 per cent
of the 400,000 employes of 225 railroads
of this country voted to strike unless
they arc granted an eight-hour day and
time and a half for overtime.
This announcement was made Tuesday
at a conference between representatives
of the "big four" brotherhoods and the
National Conference Committee of the
railroads.
The meeting broke up without the
roads showing their hand to reconvene
Wednesday morning. The adjournment
was taken to allow members of the rail
road committee to discuss the situation
after the union representatives had de
clared no half-way measures would sat
isfy them and their followers.
The organizations which voted on the
strike question are : The Brotherhood
of Locomotive Engineers, the Brother
hood of Railway Trainmen, the Order
of Railway Conductors and the Order
of Firemen and Enginemen.
The result of the referendum as an
nounced by the Secretaries follows :
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engir
necrs (Southeastern territory) for a
strike !),872, or 08 per cent; Western
territory !),0:i5, or 00 per cent;' Eastern
territory 9,450, or 04.0 per cent.
Order of Firemen and Enginemen
Total vote 70,05:i, or 08..'! per cent in
favor of strike.
Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen
For a strike 124,832, against a strike
7,270.
Order of Railway Conductors For a
strike 87.5 per cent of total. Total vote
34,840.
One railroad was not included in the
vote of the order of conductors, but it
was said to be a small and unimportant
one.
The announcements were made by
the following heads of the organiza
tions: Warren S. Stone, for the Broth
erhood of Locomotive Engineers; W. G.
Lee. for the Brotherhood of Railway
Trainmen; A. B. Garrctson, for the Or
der of Railway Conductors; and W. b.
Carter, for the Order ot Pircmcn ana
Enginemen.
Before the result was made known
the question of whether negro firemen
were to he given recognition by the rail
road was brought up. Euslia Lee,
chairman of the managers said that the
.meeting was noUauthprized .to consider
that question. W." G. Lee of the Broth
erhood of Railway Trainmen responded
that any agreement that might be con
cluded must refer to all employes.
Mr. Garrctson and Elisha G. Lee, fol
lowing the reading of the vote, said the
managers now must consider tlie senti
ment of the rank and file and said they
honed the railroads would allow some
concessions. Mr.. Garrctson made a plea
for "modification on tlie part ot tlie
employers.
"In regard to this, it is a matter of
hope rather than of assurance," Mr. Lee
replied.
W. G. Lee made a conditional offer to
turn over the vote by railroads. About
225 railroads are included in the vote.
OVKRTLMK IS HARMFUL.
Manchester, England. The Cotton
Factory Times makes this comment on
the annual report of the chief inspector
of factories and workshops :
"Special attention has, of course, been
devoted to the effect on health of the ex
tended hours of labor which emergency
orders have rendered permissible. As
the year advanced the tendency grew to
substitute shifts for the long day fol
lowed by overtime, which was found to
be uneconomical as well as detrimental
to health. For the same reason Sunday
labor has become less prevalent. It
would appear, however, that no. great
success has yet followed the endeavors
of the inspectors to persuade managers
to substitute eight-hour shifts for spells
of 11. 12 or 13 hours. The wasteful
expedient of overtime and night work,
for young girls especially, needs no
further demonstration. Whilst as re
gards adult women it may be 'the good
cause that gives good heart for work,'
as one of them is quoted as saying, na
ture is never cheated.
"Overtime in cotton mills is a rarity,
because, as it is well known, cotton
workers have resolutely set their faces
against it; but where, to meet a special
emergency overtime is permitted to con
tinue uninterruptedly, the periodical ex
amination of the operatives is compul
sory, and power is given the examining
surgeon to suspend, either wholly or
for a neriod. anyone showing undue
signs of fatigue. It is satisfactory to
know that tlie question ot tnc neiiiii
of the toilers is the subject of so much
solicitude. Out of the evil of the war
at least some good has come."
CIGAR MAKKRK STRIKK.
New York. About 2,000 workers cm
ployed in three factories of the United
Cigar Manufacturing company are on
strike for higher wages. The present
