that nothing is more important to our stab l.
ity and growth than the development and
cultivation of all such Industries in our mid st
as will furnish labor during the entire year
for the working classes at fair and reason
able compensation.
Nothing affords broader field Of indus ry at
the presen. time than the transportation bust
ness. Its demand for labor is constant and
daily. and its requirements are as great, even
greater during the cold winter months than
during the mild summer months, when labor
is more likely TO be employed
The future growth OF St. Paul must result
largely from well employed and We'll COM
pensated labor, and NJ hing saould stand N the
way OF a policy by the city government that
will lead to the employment of more labor at
made.
All lccal and private enterprises that d.
not tend to this RESULT should give way t.

lay, as requested, to consider ard determine
what course shall be pursued in regard to
