Donation Wanted for the ohIldren.

The Boys' and Girls Aid Society is
at this time In great need of funds, and
in fact, of everything that would be of
use to children. Last summer, as stated
in THE CHRONICLE, the superintendent of
this society planned visit to The Dalles
to canvass for subscriptions, but was
prevented by severe attack of typhoid
fever, which kept him in bed for almost
the entire summer. However, having
now recovered, he will wait on the busi-
ness men of this city in few days, and
any and all donations will be thankfully
received, such as money, children 8
clothing, both new and second hand, or
provisions. Blakeley & Houghton,
druggists, will receive them or notify Mr..
Gardner on his arrival. Nearly every
person is familiar with the work of this
society, viz: Rescuing homeless, neg
lected and abused children, and finding
them suitable homes. It is hoped that
all who are able will respond with what
they can afford.

ERE THE RRST

Last night about IL o'clock aa Marvin
Rand, the tamale man, wfs coming
down from the East End with his sixty
pound outfit of tamales, coffee, etc., he
was held up by burly fellow, who
stepped out of doorway 6ust this side
of Mrs. Julian's restaurant. The man
caught him by the sleeve and demanded
that he give him four bite. "But," said
Marvin, st takes me all night to earn
four bits, and have nbt that much" /"
'tGive me what you ihave," was the
reply.
Marvin placed his itinerant lunch
counter on the ground, and before the
fellow knew what had happened to him,
Marvin let go his right, catching the
bold robber In the neck The man went
down like log, and Marvin, instead of
fastening on to the fellow and capturing
him, as he could easily have done,
picked up his outfit and came down the
street calling "Red hotl ALI hot Hot

PROTEST. FROM EMPLOYERS
Against a Dill which Representative
Feig Introduced.

There has como a protest loud and
strong out of the northern part Of
the state against the passage Of H.
+. 108, introduced by representative
Feig, anu which is entitled bill fer
All act in relation to the liability Of
employers TO their employees and other
persons for personal and other in
Juries. The fight against the bill is
being waged by the mill owners, and
especially the lumber manufacturers,
who d. not hesitate to say that II
Eassed the law will put a mortgage on
every s.tw mill and factory in the
state
The bill ip three sections provides q
very specific liability for q very general
classification Of accidents which may
happen to any person working in or
about, or who happens to be in or
near q factory or mill, and following
upon the yerbiage which appears to be
necessary 10 the proper drawing of u
bill, comes the following unique para
graph. which is marked section 4:
In all actions to enforce liabilities
under this act, the courts shall con-
strue this law literally in favor OF the
employees OF other persons complain
ing"
The mill owners are emphatic in their
opposition. They contend that the
personal injury law now on the books
IS d very 1aII anu IlDcTdI one, ana lIldC
Il would be an outrage to pass the
Feig measure. They argue that per
sons net employed at all may receive
injuries fer which they can reccvGs if
only they can secure evidence thar
some part of the machinery was out
Of repair. Mere than this, the owners
believe that after the state labor COM
missioner or some one of his factory
inspectors has examined and found in
good condition the machinery OF a mill,
the liability for accidents therefr0m
should be removed. In letters sent to
the st. Louis county representatives on
the subject the owners aver that the
! passage of such a bill will prevent
their being able to do what they have
patiently waited through three or four
years of hard times to do, namely: Con-
! duct their several lines of business at
| q profit.
The bill in question is in the hands
of a subcommittee Of Judiciary.

name OF not knowing what it is to fear
anybody, and especially when he thinks
he is right. A Duluth newspaper is
fighting his bill providing for the APP
pointment of mine inspector, tooth
and nail. This paper goes for the bill
from the start, says it is not wanted
by the men themselves, and proceeds
to pick it to pieces section by section.
Each provision of the bill is gone over
and the main objection is that the sec
ton which provides that the INSPECTOR
shall examine a mine or any part OF
1t when a request signed by any ten
employees is sent him, will be a dead
letter for the reason that the men, fear
Ing discharge, will sign no such request.
The article states that the Trades and
Labor Assembly Of Duluth, will ask the
legislature to substitute for the Vail
bill, certain portions of the Railroad
Employers Liability Act, which will
be made to cover the mining industries
In conclusion, the 'roast" says that the
bill bears earmarks of having been
drawn by the attorney of one of the
mining companies. This last is too
much for Mr.. Vail, and in consequence
he is decidedly hot. He has prepared
and will send to the paper in question,
an answer designed to set himself right
IN the matter. In this he states that
the bill was framed by the officers Of
the Grand Lodge of Northern Mineral
Mine Workers Protective Union at Ne
gaunee, Mich, and forwarded to him
by the secretary with the request that
1T be presented in the interest of the
iron mines of the state of Min
nesota. He says he believes the
action Of the Duluth Trades and Labor
Assembly. similar to the intent Of the
Reeves bill.
The Duluth people, he thinks, wish
to appoint a guardian over the Mineral
Workers union, which, it must be
known, embraces the miners of Mime
sofa, Michigan and Wisconsin. as the
Reeves bill does over ST. Louis county
in the matter Of the taxation Of min
ing properties. Mr.. Vail has mailed
copy of the roast to the union at Ma

SALTWATER, Mimi, Feb 8,-Sti11-
water people arose In their might
this evening to protest against the
bill now pending before the legislature
providing that all hangings for the
state be transferred to the prison at
saltwater. An indignation meeting
was held at the city hall and express
slons made there were only samples OF
the indignation Of Stillwater's public
spirited citizens who oppose the bill
not only for the reason that it will
cast a stigma upon the city, but will
have detrimental influence upon the
reforrnatory principles of the prison.
The meeting was largely attended
and a score or more Of prominent resi-
dents expressed their sentiments
against the measure in unmistakabIa
terms. The following resolutions were
adopted
Resolved, That the citizens of Saltwater
view with alarm the bad moral effects that
executions at state prisons have upon one
community. We look upon it as having a
bad and depressing effect upon our homes
and families and causing demoralizing and
degrading influence Oh our fair city and its
citizens. We feel that although we now
have the stigma Of being designated THE
Prison City" We cannot, however, allow this
bill to become a law without entering a
most solemn and dgnifed protest. Moreover,
the moral effect Of such q law would have a
most demoralizing influencing upon the re-
formatory features Of the prison manage
ment. Modern penal reforms would by such
practice receive in our fair state a setback
that could never be overcome and advance
ment thus far attained would soon fall to the
ground.
