Poe Woo fiat ra % name stands for the spr api KEE MR. BERMINGHAM TELLS OF THE COMPANY'S STAND. Towards the Men Who Have Been Deprived of Their Union Char- ter--President Writes to Black- smiths' Union. At a meeting of the of the iron workers' Belpers' union last might, ig the locomotive works shop, Mr. Dermingham addressed them." He denied insintdtions that the company desired the confiscation of the charter, so that théy would be at the mercy of the company. Ii jus tice had been done it would have been the charter of the machinists that should have been forfeited, "for," said Mr. Bermingham, "their action has, in our judgment, done more to injure the cause of trades unionism in King stofi than anything ghat has taken place in the history of this city. If the machinists had been actuated hy fair-play; or had attempted to govern their 'actions by the Golden Rule, they would pever have made such an un just, arbitrary and restumptious de mand as they did, ws you know full well that their demand means nothing else than that you, who happen to have begun as laborers, must be de prived of all opportunity of advance went no 'matter how competent, indus. irious, or deserving you may be,' The speaker went on to show that the action in regard to Graham was prompted by spite; that president Gompers was not seized with the real facts; for if he did, be would have de- cided ag did the president of the blacksmiths brotherhood. The act ion, hewever, of withdrawing the charter "will not weaken in the slightest any demands which vou may in the future make upon us for justice and fair treatment: on the contrary we will fel, under the circumstances which baye taken place, in honor bound to do even more for you than we would if your charter had not been revoked, Any man amongst you who feels he has a grievance of any kind need not hesitate a moment in pre senting the facts before the manage ment, and may feel absolutely awigured that they will receive the same con sideration, and, if a grievanee is found to exist, will be as promptly and cheerfully remedied as though his de mand were backed up by president Gompers himself. We will alwavs be ready tothear vou, either as indivi duals, or, if you see fit to be repre sented by a committee, they will al: ways he courteously amd fairly re ceived. Jt is the policy of this com: pany to treat its employees with fair ness and liberality, and, az a matter of fact, ng man in our employ is any hetter off, as far as we are concerned, because he happens to belong te a union, neither is he any better off if he does not. We shall make no differ ence in our treatment whether a man ix a union or non-union, all will be dealt with with liberality and fair ners. ' "At the same time we feel it ix due to ourselves to say that we do not propose to tolerate men amongst our employees--and we know there are a few such now--who, whilst drawing the pay of this company, are devoting their time &hd efforts in plotting Logaiist ite best interests and their ow, aad in giving aid and encourage 16 ite ehemies, and those who late members R con ihe to do so need not expect to be petained in the company's employ ment." The Blacksmiths' Attitude. The blacksmiths union through its becretary, Mr. Purtell, submitted to thejr héndquacters at Molide, JIL, a stat t ed to Robert B. Kerr, general searetary. of the Inter mational brotherhood of blacksmiths, and containing an aceount of thegit- uation. The statement gave, first » machinists' side of the case and n the company's, and closed as follows: "Now, Mr. Secretary, we think we have fully and fairly placed this dif- fiewlty before you. If any further in formation is requived and it is within our power, we will only be wo glad to furnish it to you. In cigelusion we submit : "lat~--As a union we have no griev- ance' with the Canadian locomotive works company. "Ond--Under the laws of our union, have we any right to take up or en. deavor to sustain the actions of other unions in such cases ? "8d "That we do not recognize this works as a union works. "dth--Would we be justified in work- ing in those works if non-union wen arc taking the places of strikers 7" An answer to this communication was received hewe a low days ago, This answer is quite lengthy and goes into the ease very thoroughly; as will be seen by reading the following sel ections from iti "Nour letter to general secretary Kerr has been handed to me as the general president; and in reply will say, first, that your letter is the first letter of the kind that I have receiv od for many days that is clear and gives us here all the particulars that i js for us to knol, in or der that a prompt decision may be rendered at once. Please aveept: from me as the general president of the or ganization mv most hearty apprecia- tion of your very clear statement and will add that as long as No. [87 re taing you as their recording secretary their interests will be carefully looked wher, 3 "Now, takin reply in detail prevented.

Now, the point I' desire to make is this, that the machinists kept on at their work, they did not come out in sympathy with the blacksmiths, the blacksmiths did not ask it of them. bnt fought their own battle and to a suecessful sonclugion. I make this point to show that the machinists don't al ways come owt when the blacksmiths do. *"f believe the offer of the company ot to increase the mumber of ap prentiess is a fair one in the light of what is furnished me, and should. ip my mind, be accepted by the machin iste. We must not forget that a too radical departure would work injury to our Snplovers; that is what we must guard against. While we desire to advance our own interests we must at the same time remember that cannot 'bankrupt our employers, for if we do owr chances of employment are gone. Taken as a whale | think the proposition of the company ix a fair one, and if the blacksmiths can se onre from them recognition now, they will have opened the way for greater concessions in the near future. Speak ing from an unprejudiced standpoint t think that the machinists in their attempt to dislodge the man who heats tives and shrinks them on is not wel taken. Blacksmiths might claim with as good grace that man for membership in our organiza tion, for what class of machinists profession is heating anyway? It seems that vou might with good ground claim that man for your un jon, and offer good argument in fav or of it, too. "Now, in conclusion, hrother, the proposition what you offer is as fol- lows: You have no grievance, if so remain ot work regardless of who strikes, but ff you have a grievance, pow or at any time in the future, try by all means to settle it before any radical action is taken. "Ond--You have no right under the constitution of phis organization to take up the matter of any other or ganizations. "Po the third it has no hearing on the matter under consideration. "4th--You will be justified in work ing if the conditions are satisfactory to vou regardless of what course oth- ers may take. "Of eourse it is your duty as mem bers of organized labor to assist in any movement that will be for ad vanced conditions in the working con: ditions of labor world, and are ex: pected to do se at all times, but in this case it seems that the machivists have gone into this thing without any attempt to have others included in it. T believe it would he good policy to let them fight it ont. In any event keep in strict compliance with the laws of this organization, relating to such matters and yon will not be far astray in anything you may under take. Trusting 1' have made the posi: tion and policy of this organization clear to you, and with best wishes, | remain, "Fraternally - yours, John Slocum, general president and general organi zr, I. B. of B." In view of the letter there is no question that the blacksmiths employ- ed at the locomotive works will re main at their work, so long as there is no grievance between them and the company, and of this there is no in dication at present. Iron Workers' Helpers' Side. Joseph Ahearn, president of the late iron workers' helpers' union, has writ: ten the Whig a lengthy letter in which he says that Mr. Flett misrepresented matters to the press. There were six- ty-five members at the union meeting on Saturday, and the resolution - re affirming the position taken was sup ported by sixty of those present. The members are as good union men as any, but the machinists securéd presi dent Gompers and Mr. Flett's action against them by a series of lies and misrepresentations, -- Gomper"s action was upon two siatements made by the machinists that were untrue. The strike was not against low wages, long hours and compulsory piece work as stated! neither was Hayward dis chargell because of an agreement which the machinists presented to the com: pany; neither did Mr. Graham imme diately take his place. Mr, Flett beg god the machinists to withdraw from their position and seitle the matter by taking Graham into their union, They refused. The whole matter was prompted by spite, says the writer. Enclosed mere a number of com: munications between the secretary of the iron workers' helpers' unioh and president Gompers, awd a resolution passed on May 3ist. The latter reaf fitmed the union's stand, saving that while they are prepared to sapport union principles, yet under the cir cumstances they would be unworthy of the name of men if they did not stick to and support the company which fought for them against the unjust de mands of the machinists. They wdnld also be abandoning a fellow member (Grabam) against whom there is no harp, but who has been the victim of the machinists' spite. The union will continue to support the company. On May 2lst president Gompers, of the American federation of labor; wrote to the secretary of the iron union, #aying these "The local lodge of LA. of M. pre sented an agreemeng to the company which was followed the foreman of the company disch LA. of M. ¥ maintain the position. we san ing that they had sent n full, fair and correct statement of the canses of the strike; The first paragraph in Mr. Gompers' letter, printed above, was sot correct. Hayward was discharg- ed on March 26th for incompetency and neglect of his work, as shown by an enclosefl affidavit made by the as- sistant superintendent. Graham. bad etn en the job some weoks before the machinists raised any objection Up to the time they went on strike they never approached the iron work ers. helpers' union on the question of Graham's employment at all. The re ply concludes : "We are surprised that you should, to have done, pletely ignored our statement and accepted those réceived from other guarters. We are the largest union in this city, and if we are to be ignored by the machipists as of no account, treated by you as unworthy of eredit and prevented from improving our position by our industry and shill, we do not see that unionism is doing much for us." Yours fraternally, JOSEPH _ AHEARN president; JAMES SCRUTON, secretary Then follows an affidavit made by William Yellowley, assistant superin- tendent at the works, before John L. Whiting, notary public, ete, to the effect that he, after three separate warnings, had personally discharged Mr. Hayward, purely and solely for incompetency, bad workmanship and inattention to his duties, and for no other reason whatever. Graham was afterwards put on the job because he was the only 'competent man. The last communication was from R. lee Guard, Mr. Gompers' secre tary, saying the subject of the iron workers' helpers' letter would re- ceive early attention, Mr. Gompers be- ing then absent. In view of the latter fact the union asked Mr. Flett to extend the time, but he refused and cancelled the char ter, as YOu appear con INCIDENTS OF THE DAY, Newsy Paragraphs Picked Up By Reporters On Their Rounds.
