TEXAS. Beaumont.-Oscar Ackerman: All union men at work and enjoying fairly good conditions. All sawmills and lumber camps have resumed operations and we look for plenty of work during the summer. Apparently the unorganized workers are beginning to take some interest in the improvements brought about by the trade unions. Electrical workers obtained raise of 25 cents a day in wages. Am working on some new unions and expect to report three new unions shortly. Corpus Christi.-B. P. Moore: Employment picking up somewhat. The organized workers are holding together and there have been no desertions from the ranks. In fact, on the contrary, there is an increase in membership of a number of unions. Organized labor has the advantage over the unorganized. Federal union has been organized. Mill workers are organizing. VIRGINIA. Clifton Forge.-J. E. Welch: Organized workers are in fair shape. The unorganized are never certain of employment. The union labels are well patronized. WASHINGTON. Seattle.-F. W. Cotterill: Employment has been scarce, but with the return of normal industrial conditions I expect to have a number of unions under way. Carpet mechanics have formed union. The builders' ex DOMINION NOTES. Lethbridge, Alberta.-Thos. S. Harold: The condition of organized labor in this city, with a population of 4,000, is remarkably good. There are about one thousand unionists, or about one-fourth of the entire population. Employment has been fairly steady. We have had no strikes, but the printers gained the eight hour day and $3 a week increase in wages. The bricklayers will soon secure the eight hour day. The Alberta legislature passed a workmen's compensation act. Painters and retail clerks have formed unions. Expect to organize the laundry workers, plumbers, and hotel employes. We have a hustling union label committee appointed by the trade and labor council. St. Catherines, Ont.-James Carty: Notwithstanding the business depression the organized trades are standing together and holding their own. Painters have advanced wages 212 cents an hour as result of partial strike. Employment picking up somewhat. Conditions here grow more favorable to the unionized workers. Vancouver, B. C.-R. P. Pettipiece: Organized trades were partially employed even during the winter, but the unorganized trades, especially the unskilled, are in a pitiable condition, chiefly because of the recent Asiatic influx and Salvation Army importations from the old country. The labor market on the Pacific Coast is chronically glutted. Printers secured a raise of wages and a three-year agreement. The organized workers are using every effort to elect the right kind of men to protect the interests of labor. The city of Vancouver now uses the union label on its printing. The "fair wage" clause is inserted in the Provincial government contracts. Brewery workers have formed a union. Will have a building trades council in working order soon.
