AT well-attended meeting held Friday
nlght at the Sixth street shop, S. X. Jensen
presided as chairman. George Clement

TO buy goods as cheaply as the stockholders,
the benefit TO be derived by the latter, being
a division of the profits from the business.

NOTES FROM ABROAD.
Industrial Items From the Labor
Field AT Large.

The wooden manufacturers are making as
loud complaint as any other manufacturers
over the unremunerative character of manu-
featuring. An old WOODEN manufacturer
says a Lawrence girl weayes more cloth and
does il better than any other factory girl IN
the world; that wages are high here and
low in Great Britain. but that work is done
at lower price here. This man tells us
why, with all our advantages, we DO not
succeed as wooden manufacturers. He
says: ''Our native woods are too dry
and will not finish American woods must
be mixed with Sydney and German woods to
make elastic. silky goods, such as the
brOadclOths of England and the tweeds of
Scotland. For this reason the duty on i'm
ported woods should be repealed. For want
of free trade in wool some of our best mills
have either failed because they produced
inferior goods or have run along barely ex-
isting." This question will not accept the
invitation given it and stay outside the
arena of politics.

Efforts TO Furnish Work 10 Those
Who Want.


The need of reliable and responsible en-
ployment agencies in Minneapolis Is at last
attracting sufficient attention TO insure a
practical effort 10 correct many of the ex-
listing evils, as well as TO afford those out OF
work a better opportunity TO receive honor
able employment, where they are in no
danger of being swindled out of their pay.
AT meeting of the Catholic tenn
perance societies last Sunday the
Catholic Total Abstinence Labor
bureau was organized, with Rev. James
McGolrick as president; Thomas Dunn,
vice president; p. ii. Prendergast, seere-
tary; treasurer, I. VI. Bohan. Records are
to be kept of all persons desiring work and
the places where employment can be found.
Three cellterS, or agencies, where required
information can always be obtained, were
designated as follows: =. j. O'Donahue's
store in South Minneapolis; Moran's shoe
store, $50 Nicollet avenue; Il. NJ. Bohan'S
shoe store, Central avenue, East Minneap-
oils.
The Operative MillerS' association is also
considering the deSirability of organizing an
employment bureau for millers. The plan
Is TO have two classes i'm which those seek
ing employment can be registered, the
names be placed on file and considered in
rotation. The two classes are to divide
those who are qualified TO take charge of
mills from the operative millers. The
bureau, if established, will be auxiliary TO
the association.

In which the Buyers Can Realize q
Profit on Their Purchases

The principle of cooperation. which has
worked successfully in Minneapolis as ap-
piled to manufacturing enterprises is to be
extended in new direction. As stated in
the GLOBE, number of workingmen in
South Minneapolis have 1for some time
been agitating the feasibility of starting a
cooperative store. Several meetings
have been held. and matters progressed so
far as the appointment of a committee to
draw up articles of incorporation and a
constitution and bylaws. The latter, how
ever. are yet in embryo, the exact details
not having been decided upon. While the
new venture will be largely supported by the
coopers, the movements not confined to them
by any means, but is intended TO embrace
anv who desire TO avail themselves of the
opportunity presented. The idea TO be
carried out is to sell goods to the public at
the lowest prices possible. Whatever
profits there are, will be divided among the
stockholders, who thus occupy the dual po-
sition of seller and buyer. A similar ex-
pertinent was tried about six years
ago but failed through mismanagement
This time it is intended by rigid regulations
