MINNEAPOLIS LABOR NOTES

One of the pleasant episodes in labor
circles last week was the visit of Ralph
Beaumont, of the K. of L., to Mime.
apolis. He has been lecturing for the
K. of L. and Farmers Alliance all
through the Western states. He stopped
in Minneapolis on his way to Neb-
raSka. Beaumont is an old worker in
organized ranks, and has a national rep.
utatlon as speaker OH Industrial
topics. He spent several hours in Min
neaDolis renewing acquaintance and
talking over OLD times.
A friend of S. NJ. Owen, the farmers
candidate for governor, tells an anus
ngincident about the Great West, the
alleged Alliance organ. Some one
asked an inspector. an appOintee OF
Merriam's, ''Do you think Merriam
owns the Great West?"
mo, sir" was the prompt reply. IL
don't think Mr.. Merriam would do any
thing of that kind"
''Well, just go and ask him and see
what he will say?"
The inspector made his way to the
governors private Office, sure that his
opinion Of his excellency would be
indicated. do you own the. Great
West, MI. Merriam" he inquired.
The governor hesitated moment,
smiled little, and said: "Well, no,
not exactly, but have in my possession
note for the money which started the
Great West" The inspector returned
crestfallen; his idol had been shattered;
his faith in human nature had grown
less. The story was told to the GLOBE
correspondent for the truth. but no aft
davits accompanied it. SO readers can
take it for what It's worth.
The Great West, in reviewing Tom
Lucas, states that the general impress
sion prevails that he is an anarchist,
and that paper would like to see him
get any sort of character from organized
Worllingmen in the Twin Cities. What
ever individual opinion there may be in
regard to Tom Lucas, the fact remains
that he is district secretary OF the x. OF
l.. in Minnesota, and has never been
accused OF selling them out to either
political party.
The picnic committee of the K. of l..
Building association held several meet
ings this week and have their affairs
settled. The picnic seems to have
been a success financially, as well as
socially. The management have re-
ceived many compliments for the pleas
ant entertainment afforded last Sunday.
The carpenters and joiners' brother
hood holds its annual picnic at Lake
Minnetonka. Rev. G. M. Muller will
deliver an address. The usual picnic
programme of games and sports will be
presented, and an enjoyable time is ex-
pected.

work. apprentices and other matters
can be regulated without resorting to
strikes, and these meetings will tend to
unite employers and men where their
interests are concerned. A vice presi-
dent will be established in every state,
to have general supervision of this work

to what progress is being made.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Aug. 16.-H.

MINNEAPOLIS ITEMS.

At the meeting OF the trades and labor
assembly Friday evening the principal
business of interest was the statements
made by Court House Commissioners
Swift and Erickson. They stated that
they had always favored the interests
of workingmen, and if at any time they
seemed to vote for an expensive build
ing that was because they thought the
new building should be adequate to
supply all needs for many years to
come. The assembly made no criticism
of their statements and took no official
action in the matter.
B. Eesele, the cigar manufacturer of
North Minneapolis who is having trou
BILE with the union, has issued a circu-
lar setting that he merely wished to in
troduce subdivision of labor among
his employees who would enable him to
manufacture cigars more cheaply. and
yet would not affect the mems wages.
The union replies that the system of
bunch breaking and rolling, which Mr..
Eeisele wished to introduce would make
a reduction of about $1.50 per thousand
to the men. He proposes to pay 81 per
thousand for bunch breaking, and 81
per thousand for rolling, which would
make S. per thousand against $3.50 for
merly paid. So the trouble still remains
unsettled. The union is aided by ali
other unions, and hopes to convince the
manufacturer OF the error OF his ways.

ADJUSTMENTS.

MISUNDERSTANDING the ever popular
opera, began its second week last hight at
Albaugh's in the Keeping of the Lamont Opera
Company, and while the house was not quite
so brilliant as that of the Monday night pre-.
vious it was enthusiastic and laughed and APP
plauded as IL "Erminie" were making its debut.
The cast was unch changed from last week, and
what was said then applies now. There was
one innovation, however, in the first act where
the two thieves in the second story Of the Lion
Dor take lunch. When Cddeuur (DeLange) got
on the roof and Rdcennes (Graham) attempted
to rescue him, the roof gave way and Graham,
with great elcat, took a tumble over the caves
and left DeLange hanging on the wall. Ora
ham stood moment amazed. while the house
roared then he darted through the door and
saved the life of his accomplice in crime and
the play went on. Another new feature is the
drill by the two colored '.Mascots" of the
Washington Light Infantry Corps in the frat
act, who perform their work SO admirably as to
win unstinted applause. "Erminie" every
night of the week.
KERNAN's.-The Pialras combination made
its first appearance in Washington at Kernan's
last night and gave satisfaction to an audience
that knows pretty we'll what constitutes good

feats of strength in the Spanish rings In the
ollo among those calling for mention are Miss
Fairchild and Prof. Livingston. the workers OF

ventilation, is as cool as a cucumber. Again

TRANSIENT TRADERS.
A Meeting of District Business Men to
Protest Against Itinerant Merchants.

A meeting Of prominent merchants Of the
city was held last night at J. Lansburgh's store
on street to take concerted action on one or
two matters that are of considerable import
ance to each and all of them First and fore.
most they wanted to make protest against the
way certain itinerant merchants do business in
tins city to the detriment of the Legitimate
trade Mr.. /. Saks was chosen chairman of the
meeting and Mr.. Spransy secretary.
THE PRACTICE IN OTHER CITIES.
Mr.. Saks stated at some length the object OF
the meeting. He said that in other cities de-
termined war had been made upon the itin-
Grant or transitory merchants who come to
town. open a rented store for few days and
do thriving trade in socalled assignees sales,
bankrupt sales and other rather doubtful
schemes. Others go from door to door with
linen goods. rugs, clothing and other articles
of merchandise which they sell for cash or on
the installment plan. Mr.. Saks said that in
Denver men carrying on such business are
compelled to pay a license of $3.50 a day and
statesmen license of 300. which practically
puts a stop to IL. In Norfolk they are COM
PEELED to keep away, and in Wilmington. DEL,
merchant Is compelled to show proof that he
intends to run legitimate business for at least
year before he is allowed to open. In this
city there is nothing done to keep away this
undesirable class OF business men. and WASH
ington is known among these people as
THE ''Boss SUCKER CITY,"
The clothing, shoe and jewolry businesses
are the greatest sufferers. but at the meeting
last night it was the unanimous opinion of ali
the reliable statesmen present that all we're
sufferers. more or less. Mr.. Saks said that he
and Mr.. Spransy had consulted with Commits
sioner Douglass and that he had promised to
lend his assistance to the legitimate trade so
far as he was able. He said that he had
called upon the various newspapers and that
they had promised to keep out all advertise
ments OF these fake merchants. and that in
fact every one they had called on had prom
lsed to lend whatever aid they could furnish.
A COMMITTEES TO WAIT ON THE BOARD OF TRADE.
MIR. Lansburgh suggested that the duty
Of attending to this matter might lie
with the Board Of Trade This idea took
with the meeting and motion was made that
committee representing three different lines
of business be appointed to draw up me-
mortal which should be signed by all the mer-
chants OF the city and presented to the Board
OF Trade for their action. Mr.. Saks appointed
Mr.. Woodward, Mr.. Mockbee and Mr.. Lans-
burgh as such committee.
After spending some time in an informal
discussion OF the state of affairs the meeting
adjourned to await the action OF the committee
OF three.
