The Trades and Labor Assembly
Debates Important Matters.

DcDatCS VIatIGrSs
The Trades and Labor assembly at its
meeting Friday night, resolved itself into a
deba ting society and discussed several mat
tiers of importance. The need of repre-
sentatives of the interests of. the working
men in the city government was considered
at some length. The need of laws
for the better protection of the safety
of employees, the falling of the Bracket
block. the death of Nels Anderson at the
Palsade mill and the killing of Mike Sulli-
van at the Washburn B mill were referred
as illustrating the need of better life and
limb laws. A committee was finally in
structed to look up points on which legsla-
ton is needed.
A hand-bill that is being distributed by the
Exposition management was introduced and
SarcaStically commented upon as showing
the plan upon which the Exposition is being
run. The hand-bill is headed do YOU
wish to take any boarders during the EXpo-
siton?" And states that G. W. Wilcox
and +. S. Abernethy are authorized to find
board and lodgings for strangers visiting
the Exposition and will supply boarders to
those wishing them at 81 for each bed, and
so cents for day boarders. The general
sentiment was that the Exposition directors
are afraid that they won't be able to corral
all the money coming into the city, and in
tend to prevent hotels and boarding house
keepers from getting regular prices. An
other thing that looked bad was to place
two men in position where they can COM
pei boarding houses and others to pay them
bonus.
