DEMANDING HIGHER WAGES. The Omaba Ooopers Dissatisfied and May Organize a Strike, GRIEVANCES OF WESTERN TRAIN MEN. Bread Dakers Form a Union lent Blacksmiths — The We Payment Plan Discussed— Local Labor Nows, Kly The members of of the Pacific coast the grieva divisions of the several railronds have been in session at Oakland Quring the past week. Besides transacting routine business they have prepared a listof gricvances as made up from the testimony of the train and will atoneo ask that the rules of the ronds be so changed as to con- form to the demands wiich are as follows 1. Promotion shall be made according to the length of service with the company, the oldest sccuring the first promotion, other hings Leing cqual. This bas not been done, ey claim, for there are men who are still raken (n, ond have been so for three years, while others who entered the comy co since then havoe been promoted to vships.

There ar sevoral crews which aro compelled eves trip to run from six to twenty miles mo regular day's work, The engi- rs aro paid for this, and why not train- +1 4. That there shall be a regular - pa; ““There seems to be no good reason why Should 1ot have our money s soon as ble after we earn it,” tho men s have it como any time from the Blstof the following month.” It is sad that Jast Christmas they could get no m for work until some time in January. t trainmen shall not be required to sweep out passenger cars, and clean and fill carlamps, Whena man gets through his triphe does not want to have to spend an hour or more doing the work of a car cleaner. The Weekly Paym nt Plan, In the fifth annual report of the factory in spector of New York he gives the details of o Plan whereby the manufacturers avoid the law requiring the weekly payment of wages. The way it is done is posting notices to the effect that, on a certain dato and every week thereafter, any of the employes who desired 1t, wou1d be paid weekly by leaving word at the offico that such was their wish. As soon s the notices were up, quict hints would be dropped from authoritative sources that who- sted on being paid weekly would be scharged. Naturally, very few of the men desirous of employment would have the te- merity to ask for their wages with possible discharge as the result, and consequently no onc would apply for his wages on that date. The purpose of the officers of the corporgiim, would b nccomplished, and when the Lo Avouly inquire Wi P - s 7 nspec- being puid_weekly, th day.

From January, 1883, to July 1, 1880, the Uuited Brotherhood of Blacksmiths paid out to the widows and orphans of deceased mem- bers and to disabled members the sum of $80,250 from the general fund. Andin that timo fully §200,000 more was paid out on sick benefits from the funds of the local unions. ‘The general benefits are graded according to tho time of membership and are at the rate of 8100 to §200 for funeral beuetits on the death of a member, $100 to $100 in _ease of perman- ent disability, and $25 to 30 on the death of the wife of & married member. * The total cost of maintainiug these benefits is but a small trifle each month, and through the co- operation of allthe umions in the United brotherhiood theso various benefits ave sus- Sained. Bakers Organiz The recent labor troubles at the Garneau bakery have resulted in adding another union 1o organized labor in Omaba. Prior to that time the bakors were without organmization, butat last they have come iuto the fold. Saturduy night nearly seventy-five of the bread bakers of the eity met at Kaufmann's hall and at once decided to come in underthe Knights of Labor. A charter was at_once applied for, and as soon as it arrives officers ‘will be elected and the union will vegin its work. Coopers Dis<at sflod. There is astroug probability that the Con- solidated vank line and the coopers will have trouble cre long. Heretofore coopers have ‘been receiving 23!¢ cents per barrel, but the price has been cut to 20 cents. The coopers accepted the reduction and continued work, but the matter has been referred to the Cen- tral labor union, and if the old rate is not paid after the first of next wonth, the men are liable to go out. The Sunset Cox Fund. Yestorday the Omaha lotter carriers' asso- clation forwarded §75 to New York as a con- tribution to the Sunset Cox monument fund. This monument, which will be unveiled in Central Park on July 4, 1501, has been built eutirely out of funds contributed by the letter carriers of cities of the United States, Labor Notes. The Helonn, Mont., plumbe coutinues and those ' formerly omployed by Sturrock & Brown have been out soven ‘weoks, and thero is no likelibood of @ settle- ment of the difticulties very soon, The trades assembly of Denver bas memoriulized the legislature to pass a law prohibiting the letting of state or county Printing to parties outside of Colorado. They also make some strong recommendations to busiaess meu on the same subject. Amalgamated Union of the Carpentors and Joluers, a lodge of which was lately started in Salt Lake City, bas now _forty wember: The headquarters are in England, but it is cousidercd one of the strongest organizations in the world. Whenever a member loses his tools by accidenthe 15 supplied with others atthe expense of the union, and when in forced idleness ho is paid §.50 a week. The vrganized carpenters of Indianapolis bave issued their wage schedule for this year. It provides that eight hours shal con- Btitute u day's work. All over eight hours to bo paid at the rate of time and one-half, and Sunday and legal-hotiday work will called double time. Tnirty conts an hour all be the minimum pay for carpent c1s ard fuers. The boss carpenters say 1he de- mands ave oo high.
