CITIZENS JOIN In APPEAL
ASK CONSIDERATION FOR THE
GREAT NORTHERN

Petition Signed by Large Number
the Assembly Mayor Kiefer
Sends in a Communication Urging
the Friendly Cooperation of the
CounciI-Sent to Committee.
At the meeting of the assembly last
night the matter of the city'S attitude
to the Great Northern railway came up
Through a petition signed by 500 names,
which was submitted by the mayor,
with the following letter:
l transmit herewith a petition numerously
signed by citizens of st. Paul, representing
all classes and nearly all industries and
equations, asking that such action shall be
taken by the city government as VIII lead TO
more satisfactory and cordial relat ons be-
tween the city government and some of the
large transportation interests having their
principal places of business in this city.
1t is perhaps unnecessary to suggest even
that nothing is more important to our Stab,l-
ity and growth than the development and
cultivation OF all such industries in our midst
as will furnish labor during the entire year
for the working classes at fair and reason
able compensation.
Nothing affords a broader field of indus ry at
the present time than the transportation bust
ness Its demand for labor is constant and
daily and its requirements are as great, evel
during the mild summer months, VIII, labor
is more likely TO be employed.
The future growth of S.. Paul must result
largely from well employed and we'll COM
pensated labor,snd no hing saould stand in the
way of policy by the city government that
Will lead TO the employment of more labor at
as good or better compensation than as now
made.
All local and private enterprises that do
not tend to this result should give way t.
those larger interests which affect all oar
people and inevitably lead to the grow h of
the city and the advancement of every M
terial interest. pubic and private.
Aid and cooperation to all the large trans
portation interests centering in st. Paul
should be cordially and earnestly given by all
obstacle placed In the way of their de cop
ment and growth unless absolutely qured
by the public interests Of the city, and have
no hesitation in recommending that you give
the petition the most careful consid ra ion
and grant its prayer 50 far as the legat au-
thority vested in you will permit a-d thai
joint committee be appointed with ut de-
lay, as requested, to consider ard determine
what course shall be pursued in regard to
all matters referred to them.
