Every great battle between capital
and labor results in some good to the
movement at large. The Sun fight is
an illustration of the power Of united
action as expressed in the boycott. If
organized labor will pursue the cold,
practical business tactics that have
been put into operation by the Typo
graphical Union, every article of nat
lonal distribution must of necessity car
ry a union label. After much expendi-
ture OF money and waste of energy, a
system has now been found that is
simple in operation and immediate in
results produced. The growth of the
use of the union label has been pheno-
menal since our agitation began, and
there is no limit to it's possibilities The
boycott bureau of Typographical Union
No. should be made permanent in
character and national in scope.

New Members Initiated.
ST. PAUL, May 1.-THE Typogra-

day afternoon, with large attendance.
Four members were initiated and five
applications received and referred. The
report of the relief committee showed
that the sum of $50 had been paid out
to members on the sick list during the
month of April. The delegates to the
Allied Printing Trades Council reported
that tEat b.dy would be reconstructed
in the near future, and that an active
campaign would then be inaugurated in
behalf Of the union label. The union
decided to send two delegates to the
International Typographical union con-
vention at Birmingham, Ala, and five
to the convention of the State Fedora
ton of Labor, to be held at Mankato en-
June 10 and II. A delegation was pre-
sent from the Cigarmakers' union and
urged upon the printers the necessity
of demanding the blue label upon any
and all occasions, and were given the
assurance that their request would he
complied with. The report of the secre-
tary-t treasurer showed 1876 members in
good standing.

other things, that he was opposed to
organization of labor because it de-
stroyed individual opportunity.
Well, this surprises us. What beneath
the sun is a greater destroyer of the
opportunities of the individual than
such great institutions as the billion
dollar trust? It is true that Mr..
Schwab's particular case is an except
ion. His rise was remarkable, but
there are thousands of other men, just
as capable as he who were denied the
opportunity for advancement such as
he had, and are now, as result Of
combination, candidates for Job.
He is opposed to the organization Of
labor, and yet labor is only following
in the foot steps of capital, and is Or
ganizing to protect itself against the
encroachments of such organizations as
that represented by Mr.. Schwab. Why
deny labor the right to do something
that capital finds it profitable todo? II

tai it ought to be q good thing for

the two bodies. One of the organiza-
tions is affiliated with the American
Federation of Labor, while the other is
not. Most of the unions represented in
the Trades and Labor Council are also
affiliated with the American Fedora
ton of Labor, and naturally the bulk
of their patronage was given to the
local branch affiliated with the fedora
ton. This created a certain amount of
jealousy and bad feeling, which often
exhibited itself on the, floor Of the
Trades and Labor Council. Finally the
later body decided to bring about a con-
solidation, and with this end in view
an arbitration committee was appointed
at the last meeting to make terms for
g. settlement.
The meeting was harmonious, both
committees having come prepared to
concede something to secure peace. An
agreement was drawn up which will be
signed by the officers of both unions.
The matter of a wage scale and consti-
tuition and bylaws was referred to a.
committee which will report to a meet
ing of the amalgamateG organizations

At last the News Tribune has gone
into quarters worthy of it. For the
past years it has been 80 crampeid and
hampered in their offices and printing
rooms in the Lonsdale building that the
wonder was how they maintained the
high standard Of journalistic excellence
for which they have always been noted.
Now, however, things are different. In
their new and commodious building,
at "A and 26 East Superior, they have
installed the most complete news paper
plant in the northwest-not excepting
any In the Twin Cities. The new Hoe
PRESS. made expressly for them, is one
of the marvels of modern ingenuity
and is said to be finest ever set up in
the state. A new, up-to-date stereo-
typing outfit has been put in, and the
enlarged and well lighted composing
linotype rooms on second floor afford
them splendid facilities for these BRAN
ches, and are regarded as models of
convenience. Our compliments to the
News Tribune and it's new home. 1t
gives us great pleasure to congratulate
the management on their past sue
cesses, and to prophecy a rosy future

MINNEAPOLIS, May 1.-THE strike
declared by the members Of the Stone-
cutters union against the contractors
has been brought to a close, the men
having wontheir fight. The men struck
for an increase of wages from As to 50
cents per hour. All Of the men are now
employed, and the relations between
the contractors and their employees have
resumed their former friendly status.
The strike was declared shortly after
the master builders AMI the Building
Trades Council became involved in their
struggle. All of the men went out, and
for something more than two weeks no
stone whatever was cut in Minneapolis.
It seems that 1896, during the season Of
financial depression, the union. at the
request of the contractors, voluntarily
reduced the wage scale from so to IS
cents per hous. It was stipulated, how
ever, that as soon as good times were
restored the men would be paid at the
old rate. Subsequently the wages were
raised to IS cents. but during the first
four years the contractors have firmly
resisted a further increase. This year
when the union presented it's contract
containing the so cent demand the en-
ployers refused to sign it, and the men
promptly quit work.
''The employers entered this fight"
said one of the contractors after their
surrender, "believing that in the gener-
al row the master builders and the
Building Trades Council had stirred up.
we would win out. We felt confident
that if the men were forced to come to
our terms this year the so cent demand
would be laid to rest for all time. After
the first week we learned that the stone
cutters had made up their minds to
leave the city rather than work under
the As cent schedule. We also knew
that it would be next to impossible to
obtain help from other cities, for the
stonecutters are strongly organized
throughout the country, and all of the
unions are affiliated with the national
body. It did not take much delibera-
ton, therefore, to bring up to the con-
clusion that the sooner we settled the
better. Everything is lovely now. I
think we will get along better than
ever"
