........FEEED

The trades and labor assembly held
prolonged session last night at assem-
bly, rooms at which considerable bust
ness was transacted. The feature of the
evening was the report. of the committee
appointed to wait upon Gov. Lind IN re-
gard to certain reports published IN the
newspapers concerning his attitude to-
ward union labor The committee, con-
sisting OF John F. Krieger, Martin lgo
and A. f. Donaldson, reported that they
had called on the governor at the state
capitol and told him that two papers
In the city had reported him as saying
that he was in favor of employing the
labor of convicts in cutting and dress
ing stone for the new state house and
other state edifices. That Gov. Lind
had said that this report was incorrect;
that he had, in view of the fact that the
appropriation for the new capitol would
be exhausted before the building was
completed, suggested that convict labor
be employed in getting out the rough
stone at the quarries, TO be dressed,
however, by union labor in st. Paul.

file, but it soon developed that the gov
errors explanation was unsatisfactory
