: ’ 'r marina Tails "‘ of Some
, of the Things Accom-
, pitched During the Past Year
in his address to the national con-
yentlon of the United Matters of North
America, now in easier: in New York
city. Joint A. Moilitt, presidoul‘ol‘ the
Organisation, discussed many matters
of interest to the trade as a whole,
‘ In opening his remarks Mr. 'Motfltt
said in part:
for consideration of matters affecting
the welfare of us elk—milestones as
they are in the road to the goal to-
wards which our movement. is travel~
lug—should be, and are, occasions for
serious thought, in the busy routine of
our every-day life. with its struggle,
wor and fight for existence, occupy-
ing our every effort and hour, the tie-
talls ol' the work of a great organiza—
tion, stick as ours has become, must
be left to slew.

wevcr. is not the end of labors
gilt. it is rather but a step towards
the further and greater betterment of
the condition of labor. Up tothe point
of securing recognition, labor's fight
was a succession 0! duels with indi
vidual interests or group of interests
in the capitalistic world. These fights
were in large measure mere tests of
physical strength. The. greater light
before the unionized trades of the coun-
try and the world is to occurs unlveu
sal recognition. not only from capital,
but from all consumers, and all human
beings are consumers, of the merits
and advantages of unionism,
""l'lte racking and ruining of oncom-
lng generations’ by child labor, the
spread of disease through improper
conditions of sanitation. ventilation.
,and comfort in aluminium factories. the
slavery of low wages and long hours,
which in the unorganized rades eand
the merciless, soul-hardening and body-
destroying routine of daily toil, to the
exclusion of all consideration, appre-
ciation or enjoyment of the better
things of life—these are the grim toes
still to be fought and conquered by Is.-
bor; and. paradoxically enough, it is
the sufferers themselves who are most
responsible for the conditions from
which they suffer.
“In addition to caring for our inciti-
hers, protecting their contract and oth-
er rights, upholding the, repute of our
organliallon by fair dealing and en-
forcement of contract agreements with
employers, and otherwise wisely ud'
ministering the necessary legal and
business details of the organizations,
the greater work in which labor uni
ionlstn is today engaged is in udvcr»
lining the union label to the consum-
ers of the world. Every consumer who
is brought to Italize fully the signill

Hatters at this time is the absence of
conditions which demand many new
laws or changes In the old ones. This
convention, I believe, will best serve
the interests of the trade by attempting
little in the way of legislation, except-
lug upon a few subjects to which i will
litter refer. With the best conditions

had ,for cars; our members steadily

that it. would be reckless and fool-
hurdy for us to neck to advance too

the great gains we have already made.
“We are to be congratulated upon
the. excellent financial standing of the
organization. it was only a few years
ago, comparatively, that we faced dos
perste battles for self-preservation
with a depleted treasury, unpaid bills
and debts on hand, and a financial out-
look that wus discouraging. Today, free
of. debt. the National organization has
on hand or available funds ambunllng
to approximately $180,000, while the
funds in the locals bring our total as-
sets and resources up to almost a
round quarter of a million of dollars."
In Memoriam.
President Molfitl, in his address de‘
plored the death of John Phillips, the
late national secretary, and of recent
deaths of Dunbury men. said:
“Other men identified closely with
meeting have passed to the great ma-
jority, of whom .we‘ cherish pleasant
recollections; whose association with
us-in our work enabled us to learn and
appreciate their many good qualities,
and whom We bear in respectful mem-
ory, were Thomas F. O'Rourke, of
Danbury, Conn, 'a former National
president of the Hat Finishers-maso-
clation, whose recent sudden death
shocked and pained us all; EugeneN.
Connett. of Orange, N. J.. a. kindly
gentleman and courteous and consider-
ate employer, who was with us at. our
last convention, and John‘W‘. Green.
of Danbury, Conn, a large employer
of labor whose excellent traits and
characteristics demanded of us respect
and affection." ‘
Litigation!
Several ‘vpages of the address were
devoted to consideration of pending
and past litigation, among the cases
discussed being those of D. E. Loewe
& 00.. and C. H. Merritt & Son. of
Danbury.
0f the Loewe case Mr. Mofiltt said
in part:
“Amongvthe matters of‘large and vi-
tal importance with which your offi-
cers have bad to deal have been the
defense of the damage suits instituted
by D. E, Loewe, et al.. of Danbury.
and the prosecution of the label suit
against C. H. Merritt & Son, of the
same place. The Loewe suit. will go
down in history as among the causes
celebre of labor in the United States,
because of the big questions of labor
and label rights at. stake. Without es-
saying to prejudge or anticipate any
action of the courts, I may say that
up to the present time our. interests
seem safe. and lJook forward with
confidence and assurance to a com-
plete vindication by the courts of Our
methods and claims."

Lockout: hovlswcd.
Mr. Moffitl reviewed briefly the short
lockout in Danbury in 19“ and also
the lockout in the Orange district'dur-
ing the present year, both of which at-
fairs were amicably adjusted.
He then presented a complete list of
the ital manufacturing concerns of the
country employing union labor and of
those employing non-union labor.

in making recommendations, Presi-
dent Moil'tt said: . ‘
“Four years ago I suggested to the
at that time conditions and obstacles
which to some extent discouraged the
idea, and the convention took no ac
tion towards carylng it, out. At the
present: time such a fund can be well-
establlsbed without. difficulty, without
draining the present resources and rev-
enus. and without imposing additional
hardships or burdens upon members. _

vote by the locals, the 'tax for sup-
port of the National Association was
raised from one per cent. to two per

‘ Nature’s lioirt—How a New

the criminal and dependent elements
of our population," says one promi-
nent sociologist, "and prevent his pineal
being'filled by another, and the com »
may take vacations t quarters o

the hinges and asylum razed to the‘
ground." some facts that are pre-
eminently the fore in working unit
this hypo cats are that the “bun:
redth man” of tomorrow to the depen»
cut and delinquent child of today and
that city life is undeniably productive
of an ever increasing number of luv-
enllo potential criminals. The seriouse
races of this problem becomes more
plainly apparent ‘tvhen it is realized
that the tendency toward city life is an
erer’increasing one in this country
and that society must be destroyed
when the average criminality reaches
ten per cent. Fortunately for the fu'
ture progress and safety of the nation,
with its lueradlcable penchant for city
life, the remedy has already been
found and worked out and now, accord-
log to experts in the reformation of
delinquent children, need only be club
minted along the most progressive
lines. .
The remedy is simplicity itself, so
apparent that the. wonder. is that n
has only been .trled‘ within the last
two or three years. Remove the do
llnquent child. the product of social
conditions inherent in congregate life.
from unnatural surroundings, says the
sociologist. permit him to receive the
kindly mlnistrations of nature in her
stronghold. the. country, give him
healthy occupation, both ‘work and
play, and the miracle is wrought-the
street Arab or the budding criminal
becomes a useful member of society,
not infrequently a veritable son of the
soil content to live his life in the open.
This is theory; the practical working
of the scheme may be seen in one or
two places in this country, notably in
the New York Juvenile Asylum, the
first corrective institution to abandon
the old methods by which it was
sought to shut'out evil by a high fence
and a locked gate and to'oorrect by a
"system" which included keepers, bar-
racks, innumerable rules, and all the
dreary routine of institutionailsm.
The visitor at Dobb‘s Ferry, :1 little
town well up the Hudson from New
York in the beautiful Palisade country
famous as the theme of millionaires.
where the Children's Village of the
Asylum is located. fails to find a single
trace of the sorter institution usually
associated in the mind with the care
of unfortunate children. As he breasts

if a type of switch; and semaphore
signal lanterns being used in the yards
of the New York. New Haven and
Hartford Railroad Company in Provi-
dence proves successful the days of
the old style oneuight lamp are at an
end.‘ The new limp is what is known
as a continuous burning font and with
reasonable care its makers claim, mu
burn night and day without necessity
of replenishing oil for ‘ ht days. The
instructions which the gin. tenders in
the Providence yards have. however.
are that the wicks must be trimmed
and oil cups filled once every "four
days.
For the postnatal; Or so 200 of the
continuous. hurdle lamps, 1th switch
and 100 semapb have been in use
on the main line tracks at the Union
depot and from Acorn street bridge to
and including Moms street and in a
part of the Charles street yard, says
an exchange. ‘ ,
The principal involved in the sub-
stitution of the newer style of light
is prlmlarlly to ascertain whether it
can be and to better advantage than
the old style one-night lamps. There
is another consideration involved and
that is in regard to the money which
the makers claim can be saved. It is
estimated that the new light burns
onethird as muceh oil in every ‘24
hours as the ones which had to here
filled each day and if that is true the
New Haven road by adoptinglt would
save $100,000 annually in the coat. of
all alone. ,
Under the old order of things lamp-
men have been employed on the road
to attend to the signal and semaphore
lights. They light each lump every
night and blow them tin the morn-
ing. The continuous lght burns both
day and nights feature which aspects
to railroad men, who, say that in
stormy and foggy weather light signals
are as of much importance if - not
more than ‘on a moonlight night and
that. by having a continuous bunting
signal danger of mistaking signals will
be lessened. . . .
The light is produced through a
small felt wick. a trifle larger than an
ordinary lead pencil. In the centre of
this wick is a woolen feeder which
strains the oil as it. new a up in the
flame. The oil can containsw either
a pint and a quarter of the fluid for
switch signals or a pint and a“ third
for the semaphores. By an arm
ment of the lenses and reflectors 0
lamp gins a steady and unwavering
blue which is concentrated on the
track. , , .
' The lights which are being tried by
the New, Haven d are of the same
i e as those" " opted by the United
fates government on the work ’ln.
Panama. , .
g It. is understood that similar lights
are shortly to be’tnstlllled on the oVer-
head bridges under which the electric
and steitmtralns rumitfig'frbm Stam-
ford to New York are to pass. The
lights in use here are simply used as
an experiment by the railroad com-
pany, although many ‘of the larger
rhilmads, notably in [Alta Shoreand
Hchfgh Valley, have already adopted
them generally. ‘ , . ,
