council of the latter have brfdged the
supposed chasm that has kept the COM

Is regarded as appropriate and meets
with popular approval. The Joint com
Allltee on arrangements from tba two
central labor bodies Of the Twin Cities
IS already actively at work on the nro-
sfafnne to be carried out at the state

every reason to believe that the 1907
LABOR DAY celebration will eclipse all
previous efforts of the kind ever given
by the labor organizations of the
Northwest. Special invitations have

nent speakers in the country and If

The session held by the bakers union
Saturday evening, July "A, was a long
and at times an entertaining one. and
it was near the midnight hour when an
adjournment was taken. The memb ers
were greatly elated overs the. final re-
port of the picnic committee, which
showed net profit of over 5000. They
were indignant, however, when the
charge was made that two of the larg-
est bakeries in the city had violated
their agreements with the union in
working their employees overtime with
out extra compensation, and in heat so
excessive that men employed in one of
the shops had tainted as a consequence
thereof A committee of three was aD-
pointed to wait on the proprietOrs of
the two bakeries. The latest report is
that in consequence of the good work
Of the committee the matter has been
amicabIy adjusted by the bakeries
employing additional help, thus doing
away with the the necessity of over
time work. The fOremen of all bak-
cries under the jurisdiction of the union
were instructed to submit weekly re-
ports of number of hours worked by
employees under them, and also the
number Of hours overtime put in by
substitutes. This action was taken for
the purpose of determining whether the
laws of the union were being violated.
If such a state of affairs is found to
exist measures will be taken to pre-
vent further infractioA OF the rules of
the union.
