MINNEAPOLIS, June 14.-Mr. A. w.

also member of the organization COM
mittee of the Trades and Labor Council
Is making an enviable record in that
capacity, and is bringing under the

which have never before known of the

must much of the credit for these new
unions be given, and all union men will
cheerfully grant him the honor of being
a most faithful and efficient organizer.
Among the new organizations which
have been formed recently are the pop
makers employees, who have held sew
eral preliminary meetings, and who
will complete their organization this
week. Another union which promises
to be a most successful one is that of
the steam filters helpers, the organi-

number of new unions, and we hope
that Messrs. Carver and Turner and the
other members of the organization
committee will continue their success

Old scotchen Maintain That Gaelic

At a recent gathering of several old
citizens an argument arose as to which
was the first language spoken. James
Dingwall was one of the number, and
he maintained that the Gaelic was the
first language spoken, and offered the
following poem as proof of his state
ment: T..
Should Gaelic speech be e'er forgot
And never brought to min;
For she'll be spoken in Paradise
In the days Of O'Auld Lang Syne.

LABEL LEAGUES.

The trades are organizing label
leagues in all parts Of the country, and
an earnest effort will be made to boom
labels. The headquarters of the w.
mems International Union Label Lea
que is at Muncie;r Ind, and they are
sending out the following letter:
The labor unions of this country are
making an effort to enforce the recog
milton Of the union label, by all buyers
and consumers.
Knowing as they do that the prin-
ciple part of goods bought are handled
by the women in the homes, they have
decided to organize a Woman's Union
Label League in connection with every
centra! union in all our cities and towns
You can easily, see the advantage Of
such organization, with the wives,
mothers and daughters Of union men
pledged to buy nothing that does not
show forth the Magic Stamp. We can
bid defiance to dishonest trade and
crooked workers. fs ,g -.u "a,

several years has had complete control
OF the situations IN all the large print
Ing Offices and binderies here. The

which could be settled in no other way,

MINNEAPOLIS, June 14.-The union
men of Minneapolis have added new
laurels to those already SO plentifully
won and worn by: them. Truly eternal
vigilance has been the price of liberty
with them. They have never ceased TO
insist on their rights and privileges as
union workmen, and the results they
have achieved are the best proof of
their ability and worth.
The readers of this paper know that
it has never flatered in it's demand that
the Twin Cities are union communities,
and that whenever and wherever the
cause has failed temporarily among US
it has been because it has been palter-
ed with or men have lost courage in
the assertion of their union principles.
This has been especially the case in the
newspaper calling.
The men of Minneapolis have just
attested the truth, as it was attested
few years ago in this city, when the
publishers combine was broken up and
the rat printers driven out to starve
or befoul union labor elsewhere.
For the past four or five years the
Minneapolis Tribune has refused to EN-
ploy union labor exclusively in it's
mechanical departments, and conse.
quently could not carry the label of the
Allied Printing Trades Council. Re-
Gently it bid on the city printing, and
was the lowest bidder. The members of
organized labor decided they had some
thing to say on the subject. They made
their voice heard, too. They demanded
the enforcement Of a former resolution
of the city council which declared that
all city printing should have the union
label affixed. Their demand was not in
vain. There was no way out for the
Tribune or Mr.. Murphy. Murphy had
to comply with the requirement or for
felt the bid. He adopted the wise
course, and then and there agreed to
reorganize the Tribune's office and affix
the label to the city printing.
In this way the last vestige of "scab"
printing has been wiped out.

The wage scale having been fairly

FEDERATION COUNCIL.
Make Some Important RecOmme nila-
tiOns Which Were Adopted.


The following are some of the recon-
mendations made by the Federation
Council
/. That the secretary treasurer of
the federation, on election, give bond
to the council before the books and
funds are turned over to him; and in
cases Of reelection the bond to be fur
nished within thirty days after election
or the office to be forfeited. In case of
such forfeiture of office the council
shall Immediately fill the vacancy.
2. That the secretary-treasurer
make quarterly reports to the council,
showing financial condition and number
of unions in good standing and number
in arrears.
8. That the next council procure a
seal, the present council having felt the
need of one on a number of occasions.
4. That on account of the great ex-
pense of printing proceedings Of con-
venton, and because labor advertising
schemes are still carried on, the fedora
tibn return to the old form of printing
the proceedings, if satisfactory bids are
received for printing about 5000 copies
Immediately after conventions: of
which enough are to be reserved for
use of delegates at the following con-
vention, and the balance distributed
pro rata to affiliated unions.
5. That, as the wisdom of the last
convention in asking for the insertion
of only one of the planks of it's plat
form in the platforms of political
parties has been proven by the passage
work, even though the law is not all
that was asked for, and we believe the
enactment Of our entire platform. can be
secured much sooner by asking politi-
cal parties to adopt one plank at a time
as part Of their platforms, the incom-
ing federation council report to the
next convention what legislation they
believe should be asked for next.
