Miss Mollie Lee and J. F. Cronin are
the committee appointed to make ar
engagements for the next meeting of the
State Eight-EIour league at st. Paul, to
be held the second Sunday in May. 1t
Is expected that more than 800 delegates
will be present and plans made for
grand demonstration on July in both
of the Twin Cities. Other matters of
interest will also be discussed. st. Paul
has reputation for hospitality, as the
district delegates can testify, so that the
eight-hour delegateS will be assured of
a cordial reception.
The ladies' beneficiary department
holds its regular open meeting next
Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock, and all
are invited to attend. Addresses will
be made by [. II. Lucas, J. Johnson
and others, who are identified with the
work. These meetings have been
very successful thus far, the hall being
crowded at each meeting with visitors
from adjoining towns as well as from
the city. and have resulted in sub
stantial increase of membership for the
assembly.
At the regular meeting of the Trade
and Labor assembly Friday evening
very little business was transacted.
The assembly met and passed resolu-
lions of sympathy for the striking street
railway employees, then adjourned to
more convenient season, as the excite
ment at the headquarters made the
transaction of routine business almost
an impGSSibllity. 1t is likely that
special meeting will be called during
the week.
The Trade and Labor assembly will
attend to the formation of local eight
hour league as soon as practicable, prob
ably within the coming week. The
delegates returned from the meeting in
Minneapolis last Sunday fully satisfied
with the policy outlined there, and ex-
pect to have the local league in good
working order by the 1st of May. The
terms of membership will be similar to
those of the Minneapolis league. The
attendant expenses upon open meetings
will be trifling and easily met by yolun-
tary contributions.

1t is suggested that the ladies' assecia-
flons of St. Paul and Minneapolis CO.
operate i'll their plans and take charge
of the entertainments to be given in the
Twin Cities to form fund for the state
league. There are many active workers
in both associations. and the plan seems
10 meet with approval from those who
have heard about it.

A representative of the Carpenters
tnion says that wages range as low as
u cents per hour for skilled workmen,
and that unorganiZed carpenters from
Minneapolis a1e partly responsible for
the present low rate.
-
Messrs. Cronin, Rupp and Armstrong
visited Minneapolis on Thursday to ar
range business affairs with some of the
organizations in that city.
-
The Transfers assembly is in full
sympathy with the strikers, and the
boys are having jolly time with their
improvised street cars. The passengers
don't always see the humor of the situa-
ton. But they're getting educated, and
it the strike lasts a few days longer
will nearly have forgotten Lowry's lux
uriOuS cars,
