o. III. hall the feasibility OF carrying
the Malvahill case to the supreme court
was discussed. Considerable feeling
was manifested in the result OF the
trial in the district court, and was de-
nounced as unjust. The law in this
case as was decided was i'll fault, and
efforts to remedy the same will be put.
forth. The question Of aiding Mulvi-
hill, who is in needy circum stances. was
discussed but no definite action taken.
At the request OF the Stonecutter's
union committee was instructed 10
call a public mass meeting to protes
against the establishment of the new

THE. sToNE-ARCH BRIDGE,
T, w. Brosnan offered the following
resolution.
RESOLVED that the Trades and La
Dor assembly of Minneapolis approves
the building of the stone-arch bridge,
and likewise heartily endorse the action
of the city countil III deciding to do the
work under the direct municipal con
troll and not of contract, as was first de-
signed, and, moreover, that it is the
sentiment Of the working classes in
Minneapolis, the majority OF the voters,
that they are against the letting out OF
municipal work to contractors under
any circumstances, believing that from
the transaction no real benefit or econo-
my is secured to the people whose IN
terest in such matters are supposed to
be sought. We earnestly demand that
the city council will have the stone for
this bridge cut within the city limits.
The resolution was unanimously
adopted. and referred to the special
committee on legislation. 1t was also
intended to indorse the etfolt OF Aid.
Matt Walsh to do away with the con-
tract system, but, owing to the lateness
OF the hour and the press of unfinished
business, it was decided to postpone
action until nextmeeting. The assem-
bly, then went into executive session.
