KNIGHTS OF LABOR t
Pushing the novement to Reorganize
the Window Glass Workers' Union.
Worklnc Among Indrptmtrnt First Meeting
With Oreat 5upHrt from Old nmhcr.
John A. Connor, of Washington, I).
C, a member of the Knights of Iuhor,
end twoeastorn members of tin- Window j
Glass Workers' organization, are now i
working in Indiana Statu. To a news- j
paper representative Mr. Conner gave
out the following regarding tho present
condition of affair In L. A. :H: j
"On Aug. 21, President Horns of I,.
., . ai.HJ, Knights of Lnour, sent out a
resolution to tlx- mi nibors of tho organ
ization asking that they give him and
the majority officer of L. A. .100, full
power to withdraw from the Knight of
Labor should they nt any time deem It
advisable, and also to give them au
thority to ivalllliuto with thu Knights
of Labor after all danger of complica
tions had panned.
"By this action President Burns and
the other officers of L. A. HllO havo ex
polled themselves from the Knights of
Labor, us the constitution ol the
Knlghs of Labor provides that when
an officer or member advocates the dis
ruption of a local assembly, or the with
drawal of Its members, by that act they
stand expelled.
"As soon as the L. A. 300 effect's had
committed this offense against the
superior organization, General Master
Workman John Parsons and the general
executive bom-d of the Knights of La
bor were called upon by the members
of Local Assembly 300 to prevent hlra
from carrying out the intention of the
resolution. Their first action was to
arrange for a personal Interview with
the members of L. A. 300 and inform
them of the real situation, and the di
rect cause of such action on the part of
the L. A. 300 officers.
"The response to tho resolution Is
sued by President Burns and his asso
ciate, officers was anything but encour
aging to them. Out of a total member
ship of almost 5,000, only about four
hundred were, given opportunity for mi
expression on the proposed action.
Nearly half of tho four hundred who
voted were against the resolution.
"Mr. Burns' desire In withdrawing
from the Knights of Labor was to ob
tain absolute sovereignty In his organ
ic lzatlon. As It was he was handicapped

of Labor.
"Slneo the Knights of tailor officials
havo taken up this matter against
Pri sident Burns at.d tho other L. A.
300 officers, the hitler havo been elrcil
hi' Ing reports that this new movement
Is directed towaid the formation of n
new organization. The fuel of the
matter Is the Knights of tabor has
taken up the movement for the ono put
pi.su only of protecting L. A. 300 and
I oldlng tho hitter organization In
tact. "As evidence of President Burns' in
sincerity to L. A. 300, his change of
policy since lust year, which is shown
by tiie records of the wage conferences
between L. A. 300 and the window glass
trust. Is proof enough. At the wage
conference of the American Window
Glass company ami tho L. A. 300 wage
committees at Greensburg, Pa., In 1H1H1.
President Burns took a firm stand
against any proposition made which
would hu"o a tendency to discriminate
against the Independent and co-operative
concerns He said that there was
not enough money In Wall street to In
duce him 40 do anything that would
result unfavorably to the Independent
and co-operative industries. Ho stated
lit that conference that if anything was
ever done that would cause a tie-up of
the independent factories It would be
because the manufacturers had gotten
the cutters and flattoners In such mm1
tlon that they would not work. The
president stated to tho trust committee
that as rich as the American Window
Glass company was it did not have
money enough to get thu wage, commit
tee of L. A. 300 to prevent the Inde
pendent and co-operative factories from
starting.
"At this year's wage conference with
tho trust, President Burns assumed an
entirely different attitude by not only
interfering with the rights of the cut
ters' and flattencrs' organizations to
settle their own wage scales, but In
discriminating against tho independent
and co-operative plants by refusing to
settle the eculo with them until the
trust had secured a sufficient number of
blowers and gatherers from L. A. 300
to man Its plants, also by dlscrimtitlng
against momhers of L. A. 300 by refus
ing to permit them to go to work for
the independent companies with whom
they had already contracted to work.
"About tho middle of last month Mr.
Burns, In bis efforts to assist the trust
in the resumption of Its plants, issued

the following order to the members of
L A. 300: 'You are advised and In
structed to notify all pei-sons nhle to

made by L. A. 300. with American Win
dow Glass company, to promptly apply
to thu managers at works, and this or
ganization guarantees protection to all.

the Anvrlcun Window Glass company,
whether manager, bookket r or any
otl.cr olllclul who fulls In Ink.) an active
part to help op rate plants so our mem
bers can secure work.'
"As a result of the foregoing order
many unskilled men hnvu been given
employment In the fluttcnlng depart
ments of tho trust plants and also have
become members of the organization
controlled by Burns. The effect nf this
action, however, has been anything but
pleasing to the blowers and gatherers.
They have been able to make lees than
hulf what they did Inst (Ire. and In many
factories they havo quit work pending
a settlement of the present diffiulties.
Last year's scales provided that the
blowers and gut hervrs should receive pay
for all glass broken by cutters and flat
teners. Under President Burns' agree
ment with the trust this year the blow
ers and gatherers are forced to suffer all
losses resulting In thu flattening and
cutting departments. As It Is now thu
blowers and gatherers are made to
pay for the education of these scab flut
teners and cutters that have been put
to work.
"The Knights of Labor officials are
now exerting every possible effort
toward the reorganization of L. A. 300.
We ure not Intending to form a new or
ganization, us the reports have gone
out, but are appealing to the members
to remain loyal to L. A. .'100. K. of L.,
and to protect their rights as members.
"President Burns, Secretary Paul St.
Peter, Treasurer George Ilosack, and
all other officers of L. A. 300, aro no
longer recognized In thoirolllciiil capac
ity by the Knights of Labor. Instead
temporary oflloera have been selected
until tho reorganization movement Is so
perfected that successors to tho old per
manent officers can be elected.''

Dear Sir: There are several ways of
cheating In milk. An old fashioned way
Is to waUr It. Nobody waters It now.
A better way is to take out the cream
rich milk with tho cream taken out Is
us good as poor milk with Its cream all
In.
But we needn't go into particulars.
You don't rob your milk and your
customer.
Paint Is as easy as milk to cheat with.
Good paint Is us rare as good milk; for
human nature is much the same in milk
men and paint men.
You are just and true with your milk;
so are we with our paint. Devoe lead
and zinc Is twice as good as pure white
lead: lusts twice as long. There's twice
us much butter In it.
Yours truly,
