that house be erected for the janitor
of Richie school, at a cost not to ex-
coed $780, also that it be authorized
to corfer with the Central Glass Com
pany for price of ground enough ad-
joining annex building in Clay district
for the erection of a new annex. The
report OF the committee was adopted
without amendments.
The committee on text books report
ed that the Prang system of drawing
has gwen perfect satisfaction in c and
d grades, and recommended its use in
A and B grades, as a substitute for the
Eclectic system now in use; also that
Miss Parsons be employed as instructor
at a cost not to exceed $3.50. Col. Miller
moved to refer the subject back to the
committee on teachers ard schools.
Col. Miller thought it was presump-
t.ous in the committee On text books
to report On a matter which came within
the province of the committee on teach
ers and schools Messrs. Buckmal' and
Stanton thought it wis a matter for
the committee on text books, mas
much as that committee had to deal
with the introduction of text books.
Mr.. Buchanan amended Col. Miller's
motion to refer the portion relating to
the employment of Miss Parsons to the
committee on teachers and schools.
Adopted. The Prang system was then
referred back to the text book COM
mittee for report, after some time had
beer, spent in wrangling over parlia-
mentary points. The superintendent
was instructed to prepare a report on
the comparative merits OF the two sys-
tens.
Mr.. Stanton asked for one more
teacher in Washington school than rec
commended by the committee on teach
ers and schools. Referred to the COM
mittee.
A proposition for Buffers geogra-
ph;es from e. II. Butler & Company, Of
Philadelphia. was presented and rec
commended for adoption by the commit
tee en- text books. Mr.. Milligan moved
10 refer back TO the committee with in
structicns to secure propositions from
other publishers, but it was defeated and
the Butler proposition accepted with
slight, notifications.
Tbs election OF school census enumer-
ators was then taken up and it was de-
cided to have the same number OF dis
sricts and enumerators, and same COM

Wisconsin State Federation Con-
VentiOn.

The fourth annual convention
of the Wisconsin State FEEDER
alton of Labor took place at Ra-
cine, Wis.,, on June 9, 10 and II,
at Casino hall. The attendance
was much smaller than was an
ticipated, only ffty-fve unions
being represented out of a total
of $50 in the state. This was
due, no doubt, to the hard times
caused by the recent panic.
Superior was we'll represented in
the person of ]. H. Backmann,
of the Cigarmakers, union, who
is man of ability and an able
speaker. Mr.. Backmann was
appointed as chairman of two
of outstanding committees, that
of Constitution and Order of
Business.
The convention proved to be
one of the most interesting in
the history of the Federation in
this state. Many measures look
ing to the interests of the toiling
masses came up before the con-
vention and was thoroughly dis
cussed.
William Jones, of the Cigar
makers union at Racine, was
elected permanent chairman and
John Roth, of Oshkosh, also a
cigarmaker, was reelected Sec
retary- treasurer, with the fol-
lowing as executive board:
Thomas Van Laer, Kenosha;
Otto Fischer, Milwaukee; John
Bettendort, Milwaukee; Frank
Wedekin, Milwaukee; Charles
Bergelin, Oshkosh; J. H. Back
mann, of Superior, was elected
state organizer for the northern
district and Frank ]. Weber, of
Milwaukee, was reelected state
organizer for the southern dis
trict, and his report was a
lengthy document: The first
part related to child labor as car
ried on in the state. He stated
that: the law in this respect was
of no use, as it was being vio-
lated daily. He said from per-
sonal experience he found it to be
on the increase in the past four
years and if it continued the
future populace would be mostly
dwarfs, both in mind and body.
He declared that the politicians
were in a way responsible for
that state of affairs, and he told
the convention that the only way
in which the child could be taken
from the factory and placed in
The labor world. [volume] (Duluth, Minn.) 1896-current, 1896-06-20

AS to arbitration, he declared
that the law creating the state
board had proved to be a failure,
for with it was no way of fore
ing arbitration.
The street car strike at Mil
Waukee was next touched upon,
and the speaker declared that a
new era in the life Of the labor
union was at hand. He was
not like a great many members
of unions and would-be REFORM
ers, who would stand up and tell
you that the days of strikes are
over. He believed that the great
est strike ever carried on was the
one being waged in Milwaukee
at present.
Thecommittee to whom the re-
port of Secretary-Treasurer Roth
was referred reported that they
had found the books in good
condition, and showed a very
encouraging gain in membership.
AS to finances, more funds are
on hand now than at the same
time last year. The report was
adopted.
The resolution relating to
political action was the first one
read by the committee and was
the subject of a long and inter-
esting debate. The Racine dele
cation was sent to. the conver-
ton to oppose any attempt at
leading the unions into politics
as a body, and the opposition
was led by them. Almost every
delegate present had a few words
to say on the subject, and for a
time it looked as ifthe resolution
would be laid on the table, but
when the motion was put it was
lost. The resolution as adopted
read as follows:
Resolved, That the Wisconsin
State Federation of Labor in con-
vention assembled deplores the con-
dition of the laboring people of the
United States Of America. The
present strike of the Street Railway
employees of Milwaukee, although
now for six weeks supported in an
hitherto unprecedented way by the
general sympathy of the public,
again teaches us that the economic
struggle by the wage workers for a
betterment of their condition is
hopeless unless supported by a
vigorous fight on the political field.
We therefore urge upon all wage
workers. of the state of Wisconsin
to combat against the two old
parties, which are equally respon-
sible for the UNFOLDING of the pres
ent condition of things, and join
political party of wage-Workers and
The labor world. [volume] (Duluth, Minn.) 1896-current, 1896-06-20
that their names be recorded as

Resolutions touching on the
matter of the "time check sys-
tenn" were also adopted in which
Gov. Upham and the lumber
kings of the state came in for a
round denunciation. The Supe-
rior delegate told the convention
that the condition of the work.
ing people in the lumber district
could not be described. Organ
izer Weber told of the state of
affairs found by him at Marsh
field, Wis.,, at Gov. Upham's fac
tory. He said the employees of
the governor seldom saw money
up to the time he was running
for governor, and then they re-
ceived their pay in full once. He
declared that over a year then
had elapsed before any more cash
came in sight, the employees be-
ing paid in coupons or the truck
system.
A number of other resolutions
were adopted that will prove of
great benefit to the toiling
masses if our legislators can be
prevailed upon to have them be-
come laws. We regret that
space will not allow Of publish
ing them in full.
The following platform was
adopted by the convention:
We, the organized laboring peo-
pie of the state of Wisconsin in con-
vention assembled, for the purpose
of common defense against the
evils from which our class now
suffers, declare that the ballot is
labor's most effective weapon, and
in it's use we must be educated and
united. Our only hope of indus
taial emancipation lies in alliance
with the progressive political
forces of the times. Our great error
in the past has been in the support
of parties pledged to the perPetu-
alton of an industrial system which
has produced an arrogant pluto
cracy and impoverished the people
at large.
And that we may in the future &C.
complish the ends of labor organ
izatiOn and of human progress, we
ask the cooperation of every true
American citizen and place our
selves upon the following political
platform, tO-wit:
1. Compulsory education.
2. Direct legislation.
3. A legal eight-hour work-day.
4. Sanitary inspection of mine,
and home.
5. Liability of employer for in
jury to body, health and life.
6. The abolition of the contract
system i'm all public work.
Z. The abolition of the sweating
system.
