New York Strike Won
Washington, I). C. — The Fancy
Leather Goods Workers' Union
has just won a victory in secur-
ing an agreement with one of the
large manufacturing firms in New
York. This firm had prepared
for a long fight and had installed
cots in the shop, where they had
intended to house the strike
breakers. As a result of the
agreement, the strikers have all
been reinstated and granted a 52-
hour week.
Holyoke Strike Settled
Washington. D. C. The strike
of the Holyoke, Mass., shop car-
penters has been settled and un-
der the agreement reached,' the
employes are to have 1!) Satur-
day half-holidays during the com-
ing year. This settlement came
in the form of a compromise, but
both parti s to the agreement are
well satisfied as to the outcome.
Another Journal Unionized
Washington, D. C. —The West-
ern Tobacco Journal, doing busi-
ness at Cincinnatti, Ohio, has en-
tered into an agreement with the
Cincinnatti Typographical Union,
which provides that all the me-
chanical departments are here-
after to be conducted under union
conditions.
Both Houses of Congress have
passed the resolution amending
the constitution to provide for
the election of U nited States Sen-
ators by direct vote of the people-
Next will be that other urgent
demand of the people, the initia-
tive, referendum and recall. In
the language of a local contem-
porary, referring to the change
in the election of senotors, the
initiative, referendum and recall
' 'is a popular demand so long and
so strongly insisted upon that it
is passing strange that in this
good day it should have found
opposition in Corgress"—or in
the press. Oklahomans have
tried it and know what it is.

Syracuse Metal Workers
Wafhington, D. C. —The men
employed in the metal trades in
Syracuse, approximating 3,000 in
number, are in negotiation with
their employers looking toward
the adoption of a new scale of
prices. It is thought at this time
that an amicable adjustment will
be reached. The metal trades
desire a raise of 10 per cent, 9
hours a day and Saturday half
holiday.

Salesmen to Organize
Washington, I). C. —The trav-
eling salesmen, insurance agents
and collectors of Thledo, Ohio,
recently held a meeting with the
object in view of forming a union.
Definite action has not as yet
been reported, but it is under-
stood that those in attendance
pledged themselves as favorable
to such an organization.
Brewery Workers Shorter Hours
Hudson, N.Y. Brewery work-
era secured eight hours for six
months in the year and nine hours
for other six months. Engineers
also get increase.
While the city commissioners
is considering an ordinance to
suppress the unmuzzled automo-
bile and motorcycle it ought to
include that other and greater
nuisance, the bicycle that goes
screaming and howling through
the streets, making a noise like
the wail of a lost soul—not for
the purpose of warning pede-
sterians to get out of the way, J
but to attract attention to the fool
boy rider and to deafen and an-
noy every one in the neighbor-
hood.
The recent coalition between
Madero, General Reyes and Prov-
isional Presideot de la Barra, so
highly creditable to the unselfish
patriotism and good sense of each
and all of them, has had a most
excellent effect upon the whole
country, is assuaging the disap-
pointment of the Porfiristas and
mollifying all feeling of animos-
ity against them on the part of
the insurrectos—so that profound
peace and unprecedented pros-
perity looms brightly before all
Mexico today.
After a bitter struggle lasting
for years, promoted chiefly by
the determined viciousness of

that grim old martinet and union
labor hater, General Harrison
Gray Otis of the Los Angeles
Times, Los Angeles has so far
freed herself from his dictator-
ship as to be about to drop the
name of "Otistown" and assume
the proud name "the City of the
Union Shop."
Read the Farmer and Laborer.
The wholesale importation of
contract and pauper labor through
the Port of El Paso ought to be
suppressed, even if the big rail-
road corporations do want it—to
keep down wages. Most of these
hordes remain in this country,
either as paupers or criminals.
