Volume VIII TEXAS OFFICERS USE MEXICAN WAY WITH PRISONERS Prisoner is Given Liberty to Run and Then Killed—Dallas Sheriff Tad Prevented His Lynching. Fort Worth, Texas. — I have had my religion a long time, and we have gotten along well together, for it has not given me any trouble and I have not given it any, hence side by side we have walked, getting ready for, the Kingdom, and some day I expect to step in and meet friends who have gone before. There are times that "cuss" words just will crowd into my vocabulary, and if you have any kind of heart the same thing may get into your mind, for when you see th eway we are treated by the hands of those who execute the law, and then by another lawless crowd you would say-with one: "We have a heluva civilization." I am not going to say that myself, but I am thinking that way. I am so full of "cuss" this week until I am just running over, hence let us pray. Every time there is a lynching, every time that we have mob violence, we say to the civilized world that the American white man shows that he is not capable of enforcing law, and that he himself is destroying his own institutions, and some day he will have to pay the toll. It will be his and not mine, for I am going to serve God and do the right. I have in mind now David Bunn, whose soul has reported before the throne of God for assignment either to Heaven or Hell, and those who sent him there will some day. Now here is the record they have done for Bunn: 1916—Convicted of burglary in Tarrant county, in five cases. Given freedom at the end of two years' service. July 15, 1921—Robbed City Prosecutor at his home. Aug. 9—Criminally assaulted Mrs. Clara Connelly at her home on the Keller road. Aug. 11—Robbed H. L. Wallace at Wallace Coal Company. Sept. 26—Criminally assaulted Mrs. D. W. Simpson at her home on the Cleburne interurban. Oct. 3—Robbed Miss Lillian Mulkey and W. H. Ketchum in Forest Park. Oct. 4—Robbed H. E. Crowley and others at Lake Worth summer camp. Oct. 5—Arrested in connection with six capital offenses. Oct. 6—Rushed to Dallas county to prevent mob violence. Oct. 10—Shot and killed while trying to escape on his return to Tarrant county to face trial Friday. He was an accused criminal; and was in the hands of white men who were officers, who were the officers, who would have to select the jury to try him, and that jury would have been white men, the judge a white man, and there was no way on earth for him to escape conviction, guily or not guilty. You will note that after his arrest it was necessary to rush him to Dallas county jail which is in Dallas. This mob, I am told, was forming, and the high sheriff got him away. They formed and followed the prisoner to Dallas, saying: "We are going to have a coon roasting." They reached Dallas, the sheriff of Dallas county met them, informed them that the man was in jail, and was going to remain there until turned over to the sheriff of Tarrant county. But that did not satisfy the mob; they declared that they were going to have him because, they had traveled all the way from Fort Worth to roast - SUBSCRIPTION PRICE TWELVE MONTHS, $1.50 a coon and they were going to do it. The sheriff pointed them to an ugly machine gun planted in the jail and informed them that. it would be used, and used to kill if anyone dared to unlawfully enter the jail. "I faced them d—d things in France," said a member of the mob, "and I am not afraid of them over here." "Well, you will have a chance to test your bravery," was the cool reply of the sheriff. After chowing around for a while they returned to this city, declaring that they would have their fun when he was returned for trial. Early Tuesday morning, the sheriff from here reported to Dallas, got his prisoner and in an automobile started from Dallas. Bunn is dead, and cannot tell what happened, but Carl Smith, the sheriff, and Tom Snow, the deputy, issued a statement that God would have to tell me that it was true to make me believe it. The killing occurred near the Dallas-Tarrant county line. Let me give you just a paragraph of his sworn statement: "The prisoner was hand-cuffed and on several occasions while on the road to Fort Worth, became very nervous when we would see automobiles approaching. When we arrived at or near the Dallas and Tarrant county line, and just before turning west into Arlington I saw the light of about four automobiles approaching and remarked to Mr. Snow: 'That looks like them now after us.' Bunn then said, 'There they are! Let's get in the weeds,' and quickly jumped out of the automobile as to make his, escape. Snow and I both fired our pistols at him and he fell in the road. I shot at Bunn twice and Mr. Snow shot twice. I don't know where we struck him as we had to shoot very quickly." This is the second time the same thing has occurred down here. I told you about a similar thing about a year ago, and now comes the same kind. It is a nice way to get rid of a man. Will you pray with me on this case, for I want to get to Heaven and there is nothing left but prayer. They have had some time down here in Texas with the Ku Klux Klan, and they are going to have some more. God will right all wrongs, but just when I am not prepared to say, nor am I going to complain about it, for I believe in God and will trust Him to the end. You will see that I have been going some since I wrote to you last and will be going some more in a few hours from now. I am going from here to Muskogee, Okla., and will spend Sunday in Kansas City, and from there I expect to go to Chicago, Wilberforce, Cincinnati, Roanoke, Va., and Wheeling, W. Va., and then return to Texas. I want to report to my friends that I am better and I continue to get well. I have been in Guthrie, Okla., one more time at the Park Sanitarium with Dr. Horace Conrad, and he has looked me over and furnished me with a washdown. I am still taking that medicine, the bug killer which was furnished me by Dr. G. C. Hall. He says that he is going to keep me here a little longer. I have been to the home and office of Dr. N. E. Wallis, that wonderful tooth dentist doctor, and see that he has a remarkable plant now. I did not tarry long enough to let him know me real good, but I say he had an X-ray, and all other kind of the latest things for half soling teeth. I met Dr. Borders, saw Hon. W. M. McDonald, attended the Baptist Missionary and Educational convention, saw Dr. E. Arlington Wilson, the man who toted his pocketbook in his hip pocket in Chicago and supplied the light fingered gently with $67 and his railroad ticket.

MONARCHS The Kansas City Blues of the American Association, who finished in third place this season, and Wilkerson's Kansas City Monarchs, of the Colored National League, ended up what was to be a seven-game home series for the city championship Tuesday, taking six games to decide the winner. The Blues took four games and the Monarchs two. The Monarchs lost two games by a 2-3 score. The Monarchs will spend the winter in California, where they will play ball and pick flowers and eat oranges. Mr. Wilkerson, one of the most gentlemanly managers in the league, expects to have next year still a stronger team of ball tossers and hopes to bring the 1922 pennant to Kansas City, as he finished this season in second place. The "fans" cannot say Mr. Wilkerson did not do his part this year in trying to land the flag, and probably would have if two of his star players had not gone on the sick list the last six weeks of the season.

And in addition to being present to bring with him another, to swell the number to include every one who desires our wellbeing. There can be no doubt or question as to the need of our meeting; nor that there is a great deal to be accomplished and it as equally as clear that by trying, we may accomplish much which is needful.

Number 10 WOODS THANKED BY LAWYER FOR REST B.ANDERSON Lawyer Resents Implication That Soldiers of '61 Were Rowdiess, As Charged by Mrs. Hale in Kansan. LAWYER ANDERSON THANKS ATTY. WOODS We reprint an article of a clipping from the Kansas City Kansan, that appeared in its columns Friday, October 14, with the signature of Lawyer Forrest B. Anderson, 529 State avenue: "May I, through the columns of your valuable paper, publicly thank Attorney William L. Wood, for his manly challenge and prompt reply to the slurring and contemptible aspersions upon the character of the colored soldiers of the sixties and his illustrious father, Dr. George B. Wood, as contained in the article by Lillian Walker Hale, in your paper of the 9th instant. "I, too, read Mrs. Hale's remarks with considerable embarrassment, especially wherein she refers to the colored solliers as being 'lawless and thieving, and that the, community was glad when they were ordered away,' while I fully believed these charges untrue, I was at a loss to put my hands on the necessary facts with which to refute them. "Your artice fills this breach as you so positively state that as an eye witness to the conduct of the colored troops encamped here in 1860, no conduct of the kind she charges took place. "I also call attention that in the concluding paragraph of the same article, she goes so far as to question the veracity of the author of 'Uncle Tom's Cabin.' Had she written one more sentence I believe she would have undertaken to justify slavery. "On behalf of the 180,000 black soldiers, now living and dead, who made the supreme sacrifice and helped to preserve this great union which Mrs.Hale and her kind enjoy, I wish to thank you for your timely information which renders their record untarnished.

The Kansas City Advocate; October 21. 1921 KANSAS HOSPITAL IMPROVED Official Bulletin of the 'American College of Surgeons Philadelphia, Oct. 19.—Hospital service to the patients in Kansas has improved 20% in the past year, according to the third annual report of the American College of Surgeons, released here today. This report is based on a survey which included personal visits to every hospital of one hundred beds or over in the United States and Canada. The following Kansas institutions were given a place on the "approved" list: *Bethany Methodist Hospital, Kansas City. St. Francis Hospital, Wichita. St. Margaret's Hospital, Kansas City. The (*) indicates hospitals which have instituted measures which insure scientific care to their patients, but which have not realized them to the fullest extent to date. "The institutions above proved that they are giving the best of scientific medical care to their patients," declared Dr. Franklin H. Martin, secretary-general of the American college of Surgeons. "Aided by one of the great educational foundations, we have carried on actual visits to hospitals, made by trained medical men, who see working conditions as they are. Our report for 1921 shows a marked improvement in hospital service the country over, and places Kansas to the forefront of states who are active in medical progress. Kansas is to be congratulated on its splendid showing and on the forward looking medical men, hospital suprindendents, and trustees who have made this advance possible."

In keeping with the beautiful sunshiny day, many lighthearted and ardent worshipers made their way to our Zion. Our pastor was at his best. He took for his subject, "Strangers in Earth," Gen. 23:4. With logic and spiritual power he stirred the hearts of his hearers. Some pronounced it the best during his pastorate here. The degree of the pastor's appreciation of the loyal and lively interest the officers and demonstrating in the beginning of this conference year, is shown by the wonderful messages he delivers each Sunday.

AGENTS WANTED The Kansas City Advocate, October 2, 1921 Wage increase in Tasmania. The Tasmanian government railway employees have just had another £25,000 a year added to their wages. Since 1914-15, a period usually taken for comparative purposes because of the war, wages in the railway department have grown from £160,000 to £355,000, and the cost of coal and stores from £57,000 to £145,000. Naturally passenger fares and freights have had to be correspondingly increased to keep pace. The statement is made that this will probably be the last increase that will have to be made in fares and freights on account of increases in wages. With the announcement that the plant of the American Window Glass company, Hartford City, Ind., will gain operations, employing more than 500 men, industrial conditions in Hartford City seem better than at any time months. The plants of the B Wayne Corrugated Paper company and Sneath Glass company are operated almost to capacity and several of industries in the city are operated partially. No plants are closed tirely. PUBLICATION NOTICE In the District Court of Wyandotte County, Kansas. New Labor Party in Canada. Organization of the newly formed Canadian labor party is under way. Its platform, recently adopted in Winnipeg Includes: State insurance against unemployment chargeable to industry, public ownership of public utilities, proportional representation, old age pensions, nationalization of the banking system, capital levy for reduction of the war debt, removal of taxation on the necessities of life and taxation of land values. Oil Strike Is Adjusted. Fifteen hundred employees of the Pan-American Petroleum company and other oil companies operating in the Kern county oil fields of California, under the direction of E. L. Doheny of Los Angeles, returned to their posts following the acceptance by Doheny representatives of the form of agreement whereby the companies and the workers jointly agree with the government on regulations governing working conditions and wages. Bethlehem Steel Cuts Wages. A reduction of approximately 8 per cent in common labor rates at all plants of the Bethlehem Steel company has been put into effect. A corresponding "equitable adjustment" also will be made in other wages and piece and tonnage rates, bringing the wages approximately to the scale in effect May 1, 1917. METROPOLITAN TEMPLE NOTES On October 16, 1921, God gave us another beautiful Sabbath day, and some having heard that Dr. Harrison would preach, they flocked to the church in great numbers and filled the spacious auditorium. All who have heard him, pronounce him a wonderful preacher and he rewarded his hearers with a wonderful sermon on Paul's letter to the Corinthians. He made it very plain that Christ desires personal surrender and after conversions we must deny ourselves of harmful, worldly pleasures. At 8 p. m., Rev. Royston acted as host and Dr. Harrison again preached a fine instructive sermon on "The Semblance of the Spirit." Refs. Act. II 2-3-17, I John 2:20. A rushing mighty wind, cloven tongues, the fire, and the unction of the Holy Spirit. It was such a deep biblical sermon that many Christians let the Spirit give utterance by shouting aloud. Dr. Harrison on this visit had special offering taken to find out "Who's who in Metropolitan?" Seven or eight joined church, and Mesdames M. C. Motthews and Cordelia Taylor were asked to assist Mrs. I. M. Thomas and Mr. J. C. Franche in taking names of those who gave. Deacon S. L. Johnson brought in $12.65, including his $5 and his wife, Mrs. L. Johnson, gave her $5. Mrs. M. C. Matthews brought in $10, including her $5 and $5 which Mr. A. L. Sykes sent by her. No one was told to solicit these just volunteered. The ordinary church collection was $127.70, the special collection on short notice, was about $600 or more. The new pastor was pleased because it was not areal rally, and told the large audience to cheer. He will have some real rallies when he comes to stay Sunday, November 6. Friends and all prepare for a great time, then. Our pastor elect talked at Sunday school at the Forum, and made a lovely talk at the large B. Y. P. U. Mrs. Jones, on North Tenth street, had her group on program at B. Y. P. U. Mrs. Dow, on Nebraska avenue, informs us that the Sunday school is doing well and that Mrs. Z. Nelson reviewed the Sunlay school lesson well for them. Next Sunday, October 23, a fine preacher will preach. Come out and hear him. The choir sang a pretty new anthem, "Peace Be Still;" also the beautiful "I Heard the Voice of Jesus." They are practicing special music for Sunday, November 6, when our new pastor will be installed. Come to this church October 23 and every Sunday. With the announcement that the plant of the American Window Glass company, Hartford City, Ind., will begin operations, employing more than 500 men, Industrial conditions in Hartford City seem better than at any time for months. The plants of the Fort Wayne Corrugated Paper company and Sneath Glass company are operating almost to capacity and several other industries in the city are operating partially. No plants are closed entirely. PUBLICATION NOTICE In the District Court of Wyandotte County, Kansas. Lucile Bims, Plaintiff, vs. John Bins, Defendant.

SAFEGUARDING THE CHILD Unique Methods Developed in Wisconsin for the Protection of the Young Wage Earners. How one state has developed unique methods of protecting her youngest wage earners is shown in a report issued by the United States Department of Labor through the children's bureau, describing the employment-certificate system in Wisconsin. This report is the fourth of a series dealing with the administration of child labor laws, previous reports having summarized methods of administration in Connecticut, Maryland and New York. In Wisconsin the state industrial commission has control over both the issuance of employment certificates and the inspection of industrial establishments. It has general supervision over the officers granting working permits and also has sole authority to appoint these officers. This centralized authority is strengthened by the commission's power to interpret legislation through its own rules and regulations, which are legally binding. Moreover, the commission's work of protecting children from illegal employment is made more strict by its power to bring civil action, instead of only criminal. for nearly all child labor violations; the employer may thus be made to testify and to produce his records. Children between fourteen and seventeen years of age must secure permits before they can enter industrial employment, and are afforded special protection in their work. This is a higher age than that prevailing in most states. All important cities and towns in the state maintain vocational schools at which part-time attendance of all employed children between fourteen and seventeen years of age is compulsory. The industrial commission is represented on the board of vocational education. The apprentice laws, requiring in connection with shop experience, a certain amount of formal instruction, together with the vocational school system, give Wisconsin a unique opportunity for leadership in the vocational training movement. In spite of its many advantages, the Wisconsin law has several weak points, the most serious being that physical examinations of children entering industry are not required; however, such examinations are now made mandatory in the largest city, Milwaukee, by order of the industrial commission. The possibility of a child's working without a permit is reduced to a minimum by an exceptional provision of the workmen's compensation law. If a child of permit age is injured while working without a permit or in a prohibited occupation, his employer must pay three times the compensation ordinarily required, and he cannot protect himself from his additional risk through insurance. OTHER LABOR NOTES. As a sequel to the long continued suspension of work in the textile industry of the Baden district, the textile manufacturers decided to shut down all the factories. This measure affects 33,000 workers. Cleveland members of six railroad crafts affiliated with the American Federation of Labor at mass meetings pledged themselves to obey the orders of the railroad department of the federation. Machinists, boilermakers, car repairmen, blacksmiths, sheet-metal workers and electrical workers attended the meeting. They agreed not to engage in any sporadic or local strikes and to follow implicitly the strike program as arranged by the union chiefs. One of the potable things in Germany is the growth of the trades unions. The General Federation of Labor, which includes nearly all trade unionists, numbers something more than 8,000,000 members. The control of this organization is centralized in Berlin. The methods of the organization in general have been conservative and it has been one of the greatest forces, if not the greatest force in all Germany in bringing about orderly conditions in critical times. A loss of $267,469.20 was borne by miners of the Colorado Fuel and Iron company in Colorado during the first seven months of 1921, according to testimony given before the state industrial commission by E. H. Weitzel, general manager of the company Mr. Weitzel gave testimony tending to show that the high cost of coal has caused a shutdown in the allied industries of the Colorado Fuel and Iron company, throwing seven thousand men out of work. Mr. Weitzel declared that proposed wage reductions for employees of the mines would permit the company's steel mill at Pueblo to reopen; that they would make the cost of coal lower for the public, and would make more earnings for coal miners, who, he said, would be able under the reductions to work more regularly, as coal production would be stimulated. C. F. Kenney, president, and Fred Mooney, secretary, of District 17, United Mine Workers of America surrendered to Governor Morgan of West Virginia at Charleston. They are charged with murder in connection with the killing of three men in the Tug River battle in May, 1920. They are also under indictment for murder in Hogan county.

MINE WORKERS ADVOCATE NATIONALIZATION OF COAL Nationalization of the coal mines of the United States was urged in a resolution adopted by the convention of the United Mine Workers. Other resolutions adopted included these: Declaration for self-determination for Ireland; election of officers of the American Federation of Labor by referendum instead of in convention, and release of political prisoners. Industrial Troubles. There are 20 reported strikes in the country at this time, a greater number than have existed simultaneously any time since the war, Secretary of Lahor Davis said. The secretary attributed wage reductions as the causes in most cases, remarking that building and garment trades were the particular sources of industrial trouble. Federal mediators, Mr. Davis asserted, are being kept busy in an endeavor to bring about an adjustment, while in a number of cases the department has been able to obtain voluntary agents to represent the government in particular disputes. Gompers Scorza the Packers. The putting into effect of the open shop plan in the plants of four of the "big five" packers' plants is "fundamentally unjust" and will react to the detriment of the packers themselves, Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor said. "This open shop or so-called 'American plan,' is only another effort of the packers to dominate the lives of their employees," Gompers declared. "They are taking an unfair advantage. Eventually they will become the victims of their own unjust methods." Employment Gain Predicted Managers of the Indiana free employment bureau, after conferences with large employers have announced that the employment situation in Indianapolis is back to about 70 per cent normal. It is said by them that conditions throughout the state are improving at the same rate. Increased suits make necessary the operation of the National Cash Register plant, Dayton, O., on full schedule five and one-half days per week. The strike of Chicago fur workers, in progress since September I, was settled with an agreement to maintain the present wage scale and holiday list until July 15, 1922. The increased production which was recorded by the sheet mills in the Cunion (O.) district will continue, plant officials said. Operations in the sheet mills are now about 75 per cent normal. A wage reduction of 10 per cent, with retention of a five-day working week for the 300 cut sole workers in Haverhill (Mass.) shoe factories was provided in the report of a local arbitration board. Two of Canada's greatest steel plants are working on government orders that will keep them busy for some months. In general, the large steel plants are running at about 70 per cent of last year's capacity. A decrease of 634 men employed during the week ending September 20 is shown by the labor barometer of the Employers' association of Detroit, it is reported by Chester M. Culver, general manager. The 79 factories now reporting had 115,773 employees, of which 14,637 were on part time. These men are employed in 39 shops and average 20½ working hours a week. A resolution calling upon the packers to adopt a plan similar to that which expired September 15, when Judge Samuel Al-chuler ceased to be arbitrator, was adopted by a mass meeting of packing house workers at Kansas City. The resolution states that if such a plan is not adopted the workers "must resort to our only weapon—cease work." Ending the building deadlock of the last 12 months, the Chicago Building Trades council unanimously voted to reaffirm the recent wage decisions handed down by Judge Landis. The vote of the trades council will have the effect of reopening construction on more than $60,000,000 worth of contracts—construction which has either been halted or delayed by employees dissatisfied with the Landis award engaging in sporadic strikes. . A strike by all mills of the Wheeling (W. Va.) Steel corporation, was called by the executive committee of the Amalgamated Association of Iron, Steel and Tinplate Workers. The alleged refusal of the corporation to negotiate a wage scale for one of the subsidiaries, the Whitaker-Glessner company, was said to be the cause of the committee's action in calling the strike. Other plants of the corporation affected by the strike call are the Wheeling Iron and Steel company and the La Belle Iron works. MINERS FIRM FOR INCREASE Declare That Operators Must Advance Wages When the Present Agreement Ends in March, 1922. Warning of action on the part of the coal miners of the country next year, unless the miners' demand for an Increase in wages is accepted by the operators when the new wage agreements are made to succeed the present wage agreements covering the anthracite and bituminous fields, which expire March 31, 1922, was indicated in remarks made by Phillip Murray, International vice-president of the United Mine Workers of America, and William Green, secretary-treasurer, in their biennial reports to the miners' convention at Indianapolis. Mr. Green in his report emphasized particularly the fact that the organization has today the greatest paid-up membership in its history. Union Heads Indicted. Five officials of district No. 29, United Mine Workers of America, and twenty-eight other men have been indicted in Fayette county, West Virginia, in connection with the "shooting up" of coal properties at Willis Branch several months ago. The thirty-three indictments charged "attempt to commit murder and conspiracy," under a state law, it was said at the governor's office. The officials indicted are John Sprose, president of district No. 29; James Gilmore, board member and former president; Frank Williams, George Barrett and Toney Stafford, organizers. German Workers Selze Plant. The plant of the Hoechst Dye works, Frankfort, Germany, which was closed owing, the management announced, to unreasonable wage demands, has been seized by the locked-out workmen, who are carrying on most vital operations. The French delegate for the district issued a proclamation announcing that it is not his attention to interfere in the quarrel between the employees and the workmen. He begs the workmen, however, to refrain from violence. The Hoechst concern is closely connected with the Badische Anillin plant at Oppau, where the terrible explosion occurred recently. Twenty-four states pay wages to prisoners confined in penal institutions. Eighty-five per cent of shingle mills in British Columbia were closed when the 2000 workers struck in protest against a reduction in wages. One half of the strikers are said to be Chinese. The United Association of Plumbers and Allied Trades unanimously adopted resolutions for an international eight-hour day, with a half holiday on Saturday. A proposal to elect officers by a referendum vote was defeated. With the acceptance by the employees of a cut in their present wage scale amounting to approximately 22 per cent, the long standing differences between the International Long-shoremen's Association on the one hand and the United States Shipping Board and the American Steamship Owners' Association on the other, have been adjusted. On Sept. 1, 1921, private American ship yards were building or under contract to build for private ship owners 163 steel vessels of 551,631 gross tons, compared with 179 steel vessels of 645,224 gross tons on May 2, 1921. These figures do not include government ships or ships building or contracted for by the United States shipping board. The new South Wales Textile Workers' union proposes converting the old Parramatta jail buildings into woolen mills and to establish a company to be known as the Co-operative Woolen Mills, with a capital of $972,000. It is intended to manufacture the whole of the woolen goods required by the government, to be ultimately converted into clothing for the police force and other government employees. Arbitration of differences with employers and resort to strike only where the latter refuse to settle questions through arbitration was recommended by W. D. Mahon, president of the National Association of Street and Electric Railway Employees of America. In making his biennial report to the convention, President Mahon declared a strike "creates public opinion which usually compels arbitration in the end, so that the part of wisdom and good public policy is to arbitrate in the beginning." Thomas F. McMahon, of Providence, R. I., was unanimously chosen president of the United Textile Workers of America, succeeding John Golden. Mr. McMahon, who was vice-president of the organization, has been acting president since Mr. Golden's death. Frank McKosky, of Philadelphia, was elected first vice-president. Mrs. Sarah A. Conhoy was reelected secretary-treasurer. The Kansas City Advocate, October 21, 1921 ...S LOSE IMMENSE SUM Involuntary Idleness During the Last Year Cost Six and One Half Billion Dollars. Losses in earnings of workers throughout the country in the last fiscal year, due to involuntary idleness, were put at more than $0,500,000,000 in an estimate prepared by economic experts of the national conference on unemployment. This estimate, it was explained, covered the loss in wages because of unemployment of all the jobless in the country, from July, 1920, to August 15, 1921, and was based on an approximation of normal pay levels, rather than on the scales at the peak of high wages. Efforts of the conference, it was said, would be turned toward a remedy for the economic loss to the country from such reductions of the earning power of its workers in the future by a more stabilized industrial plan. OTHER LABOR NOTES The Gill Brothers' Acme Glass plant at Toronto, Ohio, resumed operations after several months' shutdown. Forty shops started, giving employment to 176 men. The Nineteenth Infantry was ordered to return to Camp Sherman, Ohio, from West Virginia, where it had been stationed since the recent disorders there. At Racine, WIs, employees of five job printing plants went on strike when the employers refused to grant a forty-four hour week. Newspaper plants were not involved. The question of working conditions and rates of pay for labor on the Welland ship canal has been settled by the Canadian department of labor. The scale of pay ranges from 37½ cents for laborers to S7 cents an hour for engineers. Blast furnace No. 9 at the South Chicago plant of the Illinois Steel company was fired for the first time in six months. Three of the eleven furnaces are now in operation. More will be started as industrial conditions improve, officials said. There were 1,317,010 persons ten years of age and over in Missouri engaged in gainful occupations in 1920, constituting 88.7 of the state's total population of 3,404,055, the census bureau announced. Of these 1,072,360 were males and 24,650 females. Acceptance of recent wage reductions was voted at New Orleans by union longshoremen. The new scale is for 65 cents an hour, with a dollar for overtime. It represents cuts of 15 and 20 cents, respectively, and covers a period of a year, during which they are under contract not to strike. British registered unemployment figures reached their peak in June, with 2,177,800, and by September 16 this figure had declined to 1,460,700, representing a drop of 28,500 in the last week reported. A. P. Dennis, commercial attache in London, informs the State department. For the first time since 1897, the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen will hold their triennial convention in Toronto, Canada, in May next year, according to an announcement made by James Murdock, member of the international organization. The convention will last three weeks, and will bring about four thousand visitors to the city. Fifteen hundred employees of the Corn Products Refining company at Edgewater, N. J., went on a strike against a reduction of wages of 5 cents an hour for laborers and process workers and 10 cents for mechanics. The men assert this is the sixth reduction in the last year. Company officials said the drop was required by business conditions. The ranks of strikers along the water front in New York were increased. Goal handlers and carpenters engaged in bunkering and fitting ships in overseas trade walked out at several plers, joining idle longshoremen who struck in protest against the new wage agreement, cutting their pay from 80 to 65 cents an hour, which was accepted by the International Longshoremen's association.

Miller, president of the Detroit Typographical union and editor of the Detroit Labor News, was instantly killed when an automobile in which he was riding struck a cement culvert. Lee Hall of Columbus, O., chairman of the scale committee that will conduct negotiations for mining agreement, told the convention that he wished it to be "distinctly understood that I am opposed to taking any reduction." Industrial conditions in West Virginia show a steady improvement in the last two months, according to reports from field agents made public by the bureau of labor. The reports show that many plants, including glass factories and steel mills, have resumed operations after having been idle for months. Hundreds of men are employed." A reduction of 10 per cent in the salaries of all officers and employees of the General Electric company was announced at Schenectady by E. W. Rice, Jr., president, in the following brief statement: "In accordance with an order of the board of directors a reduction of 10 per cent will be made as of October 31, 1921, in the salaries of all officers and employees of the company. Heads of departments are requested to notify all those affected." Announcement was made that all employees in the paper mills in Dalton, Mass., will have their wages reduced. The cut varies in the different departments and mills. The total reduction in wages since the war is about 30 per cent. Five thousand dockyard workers went on strike at Yokohama, Japan, demanding 30 per cent increase in wages.
