Evening Session.

Evening Session. i.."-
The evening session was called to order
at 1890 The first business was the read
ing of several resolutions that had been
handed to the resolution committee during
the recess.
One Of the most interesting and heat
ed discussions of the evening was over the
first proposed resolution declaring that the
convention looked with disfavor upon any
fedora tion holding Sunday picnics at winch
beer and other intoxicants are sold. The
committee reported against the passage
Of THE resolution. The friends OF the
measure Thought that the labor cause
would be greatly injured by the sanction
of such doings. The opponents thought,
however, that such feeling was not war
ranted. The committee stated that it had
reported against the resolution because it
was considered more as local matter Tor
the union fathering it than for the entire
state Such things should not be brought
into the state convention, the committee
thought. This sentiment carried and the
resolution was laid on the table.
"A resolution of eensure on the Mime
apolis board of education was passed I on
account of acton taken by that body that
was construed as blow at the free text
book system. ls
AresolItion declaring against the GIVING
of passes over railroads and street cars TO
officials, aldermen especially, was passed.
@ An. amendment to the resolution regard
ing those eligible to sit as delegates was
iinronosed. The effect cf the amendment
is to shut out mmbers Of unions not ac-
lively engaged at their trades "A motion
To reconsider the vote upon the original
resolution was lost. 3s. sS
