GOOD APPRENTICE SYSTEM
And Improved Methods Of
Work the Principal OBJ III
jects.
WELCOME BY MAYOR SMITH
And an Admirable Address by
Organizer Riopdon--Off1-
GERS Elected.

The Master Horseshoers' Protec-
tive Association of Minnesota was
organized yesterday at Central hall.
This is the elimination of move
ment started by st. Paul Local No.
13. A good apprentice system and
improved methods Of work in the
shops of the state are the principal
objects of the new organization.
Heretofore effort along these lines
has been spasmodic and almost bar
rem of results. From now on the
master horseshoers of the state will
be in close touch on all matters af-
fecting the welfare of their craft.
When Abe Eshelman, president of
Local Union No. 13, called the con-
vention to order this morning there
was very good attendance from
various parts of the state. Daniel
Riordan, of Chicago, national organ
iZer, was called on to preside tenn
porarily, and introduced Mayor
Smith to welcome the delegates. The
mayor said:
MAYORS WELCOME.
81 am informed that the objects Of
lines as those Of other organizations
to elevate your craft-and [ am led
to believe that you have formed this
association largely to improve the
mode of horseshoeing from a scien-
tific stanpoint. l remember to have
read in a humane journal that horse
shOeing differs from other trades in
the fact that in shoeing a horse the
sheer determines the levels and
angles Of the foot by the eye, using
this is true, [ hope you gentlemen
will give the subject careful investi-
CATION for the safety and well-being
of our horses depend in great meas
ure on the care of their shoeing
81 have this further to say, that
you have taken step in the right
direction in the formation of this as
ISOLATION, and it affords me pleasure
to give you a cordial greeting per-
sonally, and to extend to you, in be-
half of our citizens, a generous well
come"
National Organizer Riordan deliv-
cred an address on organization that
was full of good advice, and was lis
tened to very attentively. He dwelt
especially upon the fact that inn
provement Of the norseshoeing craft
and the training of better workmen
is of the most vital Importance to
horse owners and drivers, as we'll as
