attempts to give labor its proper relation in
governmental affairs.
Some of our people say that capital, by its
resources is naturally stronger than labor; that
it is boldly asserting ITSELF and that its strength
| has been doubled by being combined and put
under control of q few persons, snd that by
this combined strength it is not only enabled
| to.dictate the rate of wages, but also the con-
| ditions of labor.
Others tell us that the laboring men are be-
coming desperate, and by the united action OF
| their organizations the breach is becoming
wider, and oftentimes great strikes occur, which
| eliminate in riots and result in bloodshed.
This an excellent subject there being many
| good arguments on both sides Of the question,
| and the committee hope to receive many papers
| on it. Let hear from ALL suitable prize
| will be awarded for the best paper received
before Aug. Is, 1896.

ATTENTION, LH.w.!
DEAR FRIENDS OF THE /. II. W.: For the past
| two months have been in communication with
| the Chairmen of the various committees at st.
| Paul in order to secure for our members who
may attend our next annual Reunion at ST.
| Paul. in September, suitable quarters. But In
order to facilitate my work, and that OF the
committees with whom i am ID correspond
ence would ask each and everyone who ex-
pecJ 10 De WIN us 10 Wrlt6 lIS db ObSc SitbOi -
letter postal, in order that i ssay state as
definitely As possible the number for which we
are to secure rooms
As stated June 25 have been offered Ham,
line University at 20 cents day, for lodging,
with restaurant near by.
Quarters nearer to National Headquarters
G. r., could have been secured at 81 per day,
but as Hamline is near an electric car line run
ming between the cities of st. Paul and Minne-
apolis think the location and all will fully
compensate us for the little extra time il takes
to reach it.
We have also been offered q room, suitably
farn shed aud decorated, in the Headquarters
of the Ladies' Committee Building. which is
fitted IN specially for the different organiza-
tions.
Mai John Espy. Chairman of the Amusement
Committee writes me that he has about secured
for our special benefit aud amusement the use
of TWO cars accommodating about 80 TO 40 per-
sons each, to be used for an excursion TO W hlte
Bear Lake some afternoon aud evening, with
use of pavilion and music. am sure tins Will
be a very delightful excursion. and in order to
know how many are to be provided for, am to
inform him al once; hence another reason why
you should write me st once
The various committees have treated our or
ganiZsti0n very kindly, and no doubt 81. Paul
will do all in her power TO make this Reunion
a memorable one
Those who have attended our National Re-
unions scarcely need urging / presume, for /
have never as yet heard anyone say they re-
grettcd having been there. On the contrary.
everyone has expressed desire TO be able 10
meet again those who have become familiar TO
US through personal acquaintance. through the
dear old NaTfo3AL TRIBUNE, and through cor
respondence, all anticipating good time.
Leaf each and everyone make special effort
TO meet with US, in order to make this tie
grandest Reunion OF all.
