New International Organization.
The Art Glass .Workers’ Union, com-
posed of the men who make ornament-
al glasswork for the tops of doors and
windows in offices, saloons and private
residences, was organized last week at
New York. There are comparatively
few men in the trade, but more are
coming into it on account of the in-
creasing demand for ornamental glass-
work. The union, it was said, was
formed to fix wages and hours of work
before so many people got into the
trade that there would be open compe-
tition.

Union as Educator.
In the field of industrial education
there has been a greater success than
has attended the effort of the Interna-
tional Typographical Union to apply
art principles to typography. It is
done by correspondence, and an en-
rollment of more than one thousand
students within a period of nineteen
months, and a booklet recently issued
by the union’s educational committee,
prove the success of the effort. It con-
tains samples of students’ worx - work
they could not do before taking the
course—which shows that under the in-
fluence of this instruction the compos-
itor can broaden the field for nip ar-
tistic ability and increase nls earning
capacity. Owing to liberal expendi-
tures from the union’s general fund,
and no printer who desires to shine
at his chosen vocation can affjr l 'io ig-
nore it.

At the instance of the American Fed-

persons who are interested in indus-
trial education for the children of
workingmen, whereby they may ue bet-

means to worward the project.

Federation of Labor, held in Denver,
authorized the appointment of such

Washington, Oct. 1.—The department
of justice is preparing to fight the
cases against those persons who by
various means secured from members
of the Five Civilized Tribes Indian
lands that under the federal govern-
ment contention cannot be alienated.
The suits involve large areas of val-
uable lands and the government’s ef-
fort is to recover lands for the In-
dians and clear the titles. On the pa-
plicatlon of the government the United
States Court of Appeals at St. Louis
has just advanced these cases,
they will be argued about Dec. 6.

Trades-Unionism Means More
Fraternalism.
Trades-unionism is something more
than organization. It is education.
One frequent cause for the' failure of
organized effort is that thdre has been
insufficient education. It is not enough
to be organized. Each member should
know every reason why he is. a mem-
ber of a trades union. Trades-union-
ism primarily is the collective bargain-
ing for the conditions under which la-
bor will be sold,

Italy Tries Experiment Which Proves
Success.
The municipality of Genoa, Italy, is
constructing two immense buildings,
each to contain seventy-two apart-
ments, termed “popular houses,” for
the purpose of providing suitable liv-
ing quarters for the workmen of the
city. As it is an impossibility to ex-
pand the building area of Genoa, every
available site being already occupied,
there has been a constant increase of
rentals on all classes of property.
The apartments in the new struc-
tures are to be from two to five rooms
each, and the purpose is to rent each
room at $14 a year. The present plans
contemplate the construction of from
200 to 400 apartments, to contain ap- “It is now nearly six months since the
proximately from 8000 to 10,000 rooms. ’
The laborers or salaried employees,
with families, whose annual earnings
do not exceed $500, or if without fam-
ilies $300, are to be admitted as ten-
ants.
At the weekly meeting of the city
commission last night, after citizens
had been heard relative thereto, the
two following dog ordinances were
read and both were adopted. Commis-
sioners Kempner and Lange voted no.

Chicago, Oct. 1.—Marriage benefits
are to be adopted by the National
Women’s Trade Union League. The
amount of the benefit will depend on
the number of years that the gins have
bgen members of the union. If they
have been members ten years when
they embark on the matrimonial sea

as a marriage dower. If five years in
the union, the amount will be one-half

AGREEMENTS WITH BARBERS.
Bosses and Journeymen Agree to Arbi-
trate Hours of Closing.
At a meeting last evening between
a committee representing the Barbers’
unions of the city and a committee
x from the grievance committee of the
Labor Council, held with the boss bar-
bers, the matter of early closing all
year round was taken up.
Previous to this year’s contract, May,
June. July, August and September were
the months when the shops closed at
7 o’clock, the remaining months tney
were to be kept open one hour later.
This year’s contract provides for the
closing of the shops at 7 o’clock all
the year around except Saturday
nights.
This portion of the agreement was
objected to by some of the bosses. In
order to promote harmony the joint
meeting was called. The result of the
meeting is that the bosses agreed to
close their shops at 7 o’clock for an-
other thirty days. Business is to be
watched, and if it is found to be a
losing proposition it will again be
taken up. If the bosses and the jour-
neymen fail to agree then it is to be
left to a committee of arbitration.
