The attendance at the second of the
trades and labor assemblys open edu-
caticnal meetings held last Sunday
evening was not all that was hoped
Cor. but those who braved the severe
cold to hear the address and discussion
on the chosen subject felt amply re-
paid for the energy expended, the meet
ing being an unqualified success in all
respects save the exception noted. SEN
ator II. f. Stevens was the speaker of
the evening, and his subject was
Labor Legislation" The meeting was
opened by Chairman Frank Valesh, of
the trades assembly organization COM
mittee, who reviewed the history of
labor organization in Minnesota in a
brief address preliminary to introduc-
ing the senator.
Mr. Stevens opened his address with
a review Of the history of labor Iegis-
lation, good and bad, since the time of
the existence Of the feudal system. He
cited the changes in the industrial con-
citions in this country, which made
legislation in the interests of labor nee
essary. The working man could pro-
tect himself without the assistance of
legislation so long as the absence of
machinery made a high standard of
skill necessary quality. With the in
PRODUCTION of labor-saving machinery
and the subsequent subdivision of the
trades, skill became a comparatively
unimpOrtant consideration. The exist
ence of these circumstances created the
undesirable conditions which it is hoped
To remedy by legislation.
Several Of the more important laws in
the establishment of which the labor
organizations of the state were inter
ested were referred to as evidence of
what has been and can be Accomplished
by intelligent and united effort
In the discussion following, NJ. E.
Murray naturally drifted into a dis
course on his hobby, the BARRIERS Ii
cense bill; P. ]. Geraghty criticised the
system of bank examining in this state
and declared that legislative investiga-
ton of that department should be de-
manded. Emil SkoOg, of MINNEAPOLIS
spoke on desirable legislation to keep
out the sweat shops. and J. F. McAu1av
explained the undesirable features of
several bills, notably the antitrust
bills, pending in the legislature. AT
the conclusion Of the discussion Mr.
Stevens spoke briefly and interesting
Iy on the matters suggested by the sew
eral gentlemen alluded to.
Several musical selections were rem
dered by members Of, the musicians
union in a manner that was much ap-
preciated by the audience. Owing. to
previous arrangements. the hall could
not be obtained for this evening. so
the next Sunday" meeting will be
hefd tomorrow night at Assembly hall,
when Ignatids Donnelly will be the
speaker. The usual musical programme
viii be rendered by members of the
musicians union.

FEDERATION COUNCIL.

The executive council Of the state
federation of labor held two meetin gs
last week, the principle items of busi-
ness being the consideration of the bill
to repeal the struck jury law. and the
antitrust bills. AZ the first meeting
which was held Monday evening. the
following resolution relative to the sub
Ject first mentioned was adopted:
whereas, The struck jury law passed at
the session Of the Legislature in 1895 is re-
garded by the working people as well as
the best class of attorneys as detrimental tn
the best interests OF the common peonIe. and
Whereas, Said struck Jury system is foo
expensive to be utilized by poor men and
the actual records prove that it is only used
by wealthy corporations. and Is thus Justly
termed the rich mans jury"
Resolved, That the executive council of tha
State Federation of Labor, representing ali
the trade unions of Minnesota Respectfully
urges that said struck jury law be repealed at
the present session Of the legislature
The last meeting was on Friday. when ar
raEgements were completed for the issuance
CT the directory of unions and proceedings of
the recent federation convention Ieeisla-
tive matters were also considered the dis
cussion Of the proposed labor bureau inyesti-
cation occupying the most of the evening.
As a result of the councils activity the anti
trust bill in senate has been referred back 70
