A TRANSFERS UNION
Which Interests this Glass i'm Both
Cities

The teamsters are using every effort
60 make the Twin City Transfer COM
pany success, and ask the active aid
of every member of organization
for the next few weeks. The Babcock-
Drake company has put Oh teams in
every line Of work in Minneapolis and
st. Paul, and are doing the work at a
figure far below the actual cost in order
10 drive out those transfers who own
teams and live i'll either city. If this is
accomplished the Babcock-Drake COM
pany, having obtained a monopoly of
the teaming in both cities, and having
no competition, can soon fix rates
at a figure which will give
it large profit and make
up for the present low rates.
The transfers associations of both cities
fully understand the situation and are
prepared to handle goods on the Twin
City transfer lines at the same rates Of
fcred by Babcock IL Drake. Other
organizations have pledged financial aid
to enable the teamSterS to do this. and
have also pledged themselves to deal
only with merchants who patroniZe the
Twin City Transfer company. Several
wholesale grocers have agreed to send
their goods 10y this company, and COM
mittee will visit the leading dry goods
dealers in an endeayor to bring about a
similar result.
1t ought not orequire much argument
TO show merchants that there is an adj
vantage in patroniZing home institu-
lions. A large number of their custo-
mers are from the ranks of organized
labor and in proportion as the team
Sters and other workingmen get steady
employment at home, they will spend
more of their earnings with THE home
grocer and dry goods merchant. If the
transfers are forced to lie idle while an
outside company takes the business,
then they have no wages to spend, and,
if Overtaken by actual poverty, are a
burden on the community; and in any
case merchants can lose nothing by
giving their patronage to the Twin
City company when it offers to do the
work at the same rates as the Babcock-
Drake company.

LEGISLATIVE MATTERS.
Measures of Interest to Working
men Receive Some Attention.

Measures OF Interest to Working
men Receive Some Attention.
Labor legislation for the Twin Cities
during the past week. but the attention
saSn't always been of an encouraging
sart.
The bill asking that the Labor Tenn
ole be exempt from taxation on account
being used for public library was
Scclared unconstitutional by the judici-
Sry committee and referred to another
committee, where it is likely to stay.
The bill allowing employees to recover
damages for injuries or accidents occur
ring while at work was voted down.
The bill regulating the fee and man.
agement of employment bureaus was
declared unconstitutional by the jul
dietary committee.
The Labor bureau bill is still in the
hands of the judiciary committee.
A lien law was recommended for pas
sage, but Its provisions are such that
the working people do not care to in
uorse it, and think they would be as
well off without it.
The Australian voting system has
created considerable discussion in the
house. 1t has received the Endorsement
of the joint committee of the Farmers
alliance and District 20. The following
section provides for the most radical
change from the present system, and
has received the hearty Endorsement of
the labor element in many places:
Each polling place must be furnished with
such number of compartments in which cleo
Tors can mark their ballots, screened from
observation. as the chairman of the board of
inspectors may fiud necessary, so that at
least one compartment is provided for every
200 voters. Each compartment must be kept
provided with suitable material for voters to
mark their ballots with.
The elector, upon receiving his ballot or
ballots, must forthwith proceed into one of
the comparments of the polling place. and
there mark his ballot. or ballots by marking
line, or lines, through the names of the
candidates for whom he does not wish to
vote. He must then fold each ballot so as 10
conceal the contents. and deliver 1t so folded
10 one of the inspectors in the presence of
The board. and the same must thereupon be
deposited in the ballot box in the manner
now required by law.
IL is not at all likely that the system
will be adopted, but the agitation now
may result in its adoption at some flu.

tivty.
6he Progress of the Labor Movement in It's Various
Branches at ndinneapolis--The State League
Meeting.

St. Paul people are little slow in
organizing for the eight-hour move
ment. No local league has yet been
organized, the unions and assemblies
contenting themselves with sending
delegates to the state eight-hour meet
ing held at Minneapolis to-day. One
reason why no league has been formed
IS that there is less actual poverty. and
wages are slightly higher in st. Paul
than in other cities i'll the state. But
competition will soon force the indus
trial classes into the same lines as they
stand in other cities. Then organiza-
lion will be necessity for self-protec-
ton. 1t is likely that the delegates
will return from the state meeting
ready and anxious to form a local
league. There is plenty of work to be
done, and they can't get in working
order too soon.

What some men lack in common sense
they make up in nerve. Early yester-
day morning scavenger was driving
across the bridge over the East side

stopped right where he was, deaf to the
protests of the street car drivers and
others, whose way he was blocking.
Patrolman Pat Hurley came along just
his wagon off of the bridge. In doing
the move act the rest of the spokes fell
out of the wheel. Then the owner was
wild. He demanded that Hurley pay
for getting the wheel repaired. and oh
being met with refusal sWore he would
take the matter into the court.
