THB BLECTRICAL WORKER ') ~\.~~A .:.,.... - -~ When Brother Charles Eckert brought his gang in at noon and learned what had been done, he promptly refused to take his gang out until Huston had been discharged and his (Huston's) gang reinstated. Eckert's gang stood by him to a man, and at the same time all inspectors and cable men came out, a~d the Bell Company was completely tied up. WILLIAM HUSTOl
I think it would be a good thing to drop the pass word and let the due book admit any member to the meetings, because if a member is paid up you can not refuse him admittance. In looking over our journal I notice there are a great many who can write a very good account of the doings of their town, and it ; makes me feel ashamed of myself. If I .' could write what I think I am going to when I sit down, and say it intelligently, I would feel that I was doing some good; but, nevertheless, I am doing the best I know how. Inability and limited education must be considered. Fraternally yours, W. H. G., Press Secretary. Local Union No. 72. WACO, TaXAS, July 29,1903' Editor Electrical Worker: Since last report from No. 72 nothing of importance hRS occurred, except receiving the Worker, which was done with due ceremonies. After this date all members of our local will have to attend the meetings to get the Worker, as they are obtainable only at the hall on meeting nights, which are every second and fourth Saturday nights. So come up boys, and see hew we do business. Brother Alex. Fergerson deposited his card with us last meeting night. That is right, Alex; it don't cost you $25 or $50 to deposit your card with us, as we have no walls around No. 72. Any brother who has the goods and pin get a job here we all give him the glad hand for nothing, and try to help him to hold his job. "All cards loek alike to \\s." In glancing over the Worker [ see considerable discussion .about the II universal card," "walls," &c., and in thinking the matter over it seems that it is high time we commence to tear the walls down. It has proven unsatisfactory to the majority of the members of the Brotherhood. I think that if a brother has been in good standing in the Brotherhood the required time he is entitled to all the benefits of the Brotherhood, regardless of his whereabouts. It is not justice to compel a man to pay alarge fee for -he privilege of earning a living for himself and babies. In this State there are numbers of men who have not recovered from our State strike yet, and is it justice to compel these men to dig up $25 or $50 for the privileJ;;e of earning feed for hi$ wife and little ones? These men, after losing all they had for the good of the Brotherhood, will say "no." I can see no jnstice in the" wall." If a card is good for anything we have it should be. . good for all we have. Of course, the larger cities have gained better condItions than some of the smaller ones by hard fighting and sacrifice, but it was done for the good of all, or should have been, as our standard is to help one another. In other words: "And I further agree to aid and assist a needy brother, he so appealing to me and I finding him worthy," &c. Can this be lived up to and prohibit a brother from working in a town if he can not furnish the necessary $25 or $50? I hardly think so. " Cut it out. Cut it out." W~ will be at Salt Lake if the trains run, " and you can gamble on it .. - Brother Caple will represent us there, and he is all right, too. So handle him carefully, for we all like him here in the land of "longhorned cattle." Work here is very slow-nothing doing at all; only maintainance crews at work, and they are not carrying an overload by any means. We are preparing for Labor 'Day, and we expect to have a good time. Yours fraternally, C. F. MARRS, Press Secretary. Local Union No. 77. SEA'tTI.E, WASH., July 27, 1903. Editor Electrical Worker: To-day is the opening of one of the greatest features of the year-the Labor Carnival, under the auspices of the unions of the city. Every union is E:xpected to -1!e represented in the parade, including Tacoma and Everett, and other cities. For queen of the carnival, Miss Augusta Blase, business agent' of the waitress' union, was elected to reign over the people during the carnival. Work in this neck of the woods isn't very brisk yet, but is picking up some. The S. E. Company has finally been settled after a long fight, commencing last
