trout or salmon from its waters.
The situation is this. This stream
is very slow running. and the water of
Lake Cobbosseecontee extends up into
it to such an extent that the claim is
made that the stream is not a tribu-
tary but a part of the lake itself. In
terpreting the stream as "A tributary,
admits Of no question. as the law on
this point distinctly states that no sal
mon or trout shall be taken from any
tributary to any ponds or lakes in that
section.
Especially since the dam of Lake
Cobbossee has been raised, and the
water raised with il, has the connect

TO the Minnesota State Federation

We, the undersigned, delegates
regularly elected to the present
convention of this body by the fol-

Minneapolis Socialist Labor Party;
and German Section Minneapolis
Socialist Labor .Party-do hereby
respectfully present the following
statement and protest. And we
ask that it be spread upon the min
utes of this meeting.
We appeared at this meeting with
regular credentials and put them
in the hands of the secretary, to-
gether with our proper semi-an-
nua1 dues. The credential COM
mittee in their report stated this
fact, but recommended that our
credentials be not accepted. A
motion to accept the report was
proposed to be amended by adj

ate enough money to buy school
books that the free book system
might be put in operation in this
city, and add the amount to the
next tax levy.
p. McAuley was elected to act as
lobbyist at the Legislature at a SAL
airy of $3.50 for the session. St. Cloud
was selected as the next meeting
place of the convention, the meet
ing to be held the second Sunday
in June.
The following officers were then
elected for the ensuing year: NJ. E.
Neary, Minneapolis, President; J.
L. Chapman, Minneapolis, first vice
president; Miss Kate Heating, ST..
Paul, second vice president; w. S.
McEwen, Duluth, secretary; James
Mcdowell, Duluth, treasurer. The
federation council will consist of
Miss Maggie Mcclure, Ed. Christie
pherson, J. L. Hughes, G. H. Becker,
&C. Collins.
A vote of thanks was rendered to
the St. Paul unions for the cordial
manner of the reception. A SINH
lar vote was also rendered the re-
firing officers of the state fedora
ton. The newly elected officers
were then formally presented to
the convention and declared duly
installed into their respective posi-

,
hitting the Socialist delegation.
After a short debate the amend
ment was defeated under the pre-
vious question, the vote being:
ayes AZ, nays 66. The president
thereupon ruled that the amend
ment was lost and the Socialist
delegates excluded. Against this
action we protest on the following
grounds:
Article I, section / of the consti-
tuition is as follows: "This associa-
ton shall be known as the Mime
sofa State Federation of Labor and
shall consist of such labor organ
izations, as shall, after being duly
admitted, conform to it's rules and
regulations and pay all contribu-
tons required to carry out the OBJ
jects of this Federation, the body
always having power to reject any
delegate by two-thirds VOTE"
The minutes of the thirteenth
semi-annual session of this body
show that the delegation of the
Socialist Labor Party, the first re-
presented, were admitted, and that
they paid their utilization fee and
dues. We submit that this action
made, of the Socialist Labor Sec-
tons, affiliated bodies of this feder-
alton. And this being the fact our
exclusion was, under Article
Section l, unconstitutional, the vote
against us in the present meeting
being less than two-thirds.
The president ruled that this pro-
vision of the constitution did not
apply until the convention was
fully organized. We call your at
tention to the fact that under this
ruling the president can over-rule
any sensational provision so long
as the convention is not in session.
We therefore protest against our
exclusion as irregular and uncon-
stitutional and arbitrary.
We further protest against our
exclusion as unfair, having been
carried under gag-law.
Finally, we protest against our
exclusion as unwise and unjust,
and Injurious to the unity of the
working class. In support of this
we submit the following statement
of the position of the Socialist
Labor Party.
The Socialist Labor Party is labor
organization. It believes that the

a resolution upholding the
Walters union of Minneapolis in
it's strike and protesting against
the issue of a charter of the Knights
of Labor to the Minneapolis Wal
ters' Mutual Aid society was
passed. 1t was resolved that an at

laws relating to child labor en-
forced.
Resolutions were also passed de-
handing that practical builders be
appointed to the positions in build

sanitary conditions in the tailors'

enforcement of the compulsory ed

amendment was introduced de-
manding that under this law all

alarm officers and citizens in, case Of an
escape, an uprising in the prison or fire.
1T will also signal the beginning of work
In the shops in the morning, and the
shutting down at night. The whistle is
known as Fits patent twelve.inc
three-barrel steam gong, and is the
largest in use. 1t is composed of three
cylindrical bells or barrels placed one
above the other. sThese barrels are
fastened to the steam conductor, which
tasses through them. The entire
whistle is eight feet in height, and con-
trary to ordinary whistles, the barrels
or resonators are inverted. Each barrel
has a different tone. thus producing
blended sound, without ear splitting
effects. 1t is asserted that under ia
vorable atmospheric conditions the
whistle can be heard at distance Of
thirty miles. Even under unfavorable
circumstances the alarm should be
heard seven to ten miles away.

1T is not generally known that all the
minor coins of base metal, such as pen
pies and nickels, are made at the Phila-
delphia Mint, and that nearly 100, 900, 600
pennies are coined here every year.
This large number is occasioned by the
fact that thousands of pennies are lost
annually and the Government has some
difficulty in maintaining supply. The
profit of the Government Oh their manu-
facture is large. The blanks for m aking
them are purchased for 81 a thousand
from Cincinnati firm that produces
them by contract. Blanks for nickels
are obtained in the same way, costing
Uncle Sam only cent and a half a
piece. Gold is coined in Philadelphia
and San Francisco. Not enough of It
comes into the mint at New Orleans to
make the coinage of it worth while.
Gold pieces are the only coins Of the
United States which are worth their
face value intrinsically. A double eagle
contains $50 worth of gold without
counting the one-tenth part copper.
