The Minnesota State Federation of
Labor, through it's executive council,
has ordered that a vote be taken
throughout the state to ascertain if the
unions are in favor of special assess
ment for special organizing purposes.
They have sent out the following cir
cular which is self-explanatory: .@~
TO Affiliated Unions: I am Instruct
ed by the Federation Council to SUBJ
NIT for your consideration the following
proposition: that a referendum vote be
taken to get an expression from the
affiliated unions and ascertain whether
they desire that a special assessment
Of three cents per member be levied for
special organization purposes.
The State Federation of Labor has
this year made q greater effort than
ever to extend the work of organiza-
ton. We are DESTROYS Of keeping an
organizer in the field from now until
the next convention. We have good
field before us. Men in every portion
Of the state are soliciting us for an
organizer. There was never more OPP
perfume time for forming unions in
every town. All that they need to
start them going is a live and Compel
ent organizer. All that we need to
send one is the necessary funds.
It should be the aim of the workers
of the larger cities to organize their
fellow workmen in the smaller towns.
These workers should be organized and
encouraged in their wishes so that
those in the larger cities will not be
obliged to compete against them in un-
equal industrial conditions, SO that our
legislative requirements will be more
respected, and lastly, so that we can
aid in bringing about the solidarity of
labor, which we so much desire. We
might have had sufficient funds from
our regular revenue to do this work
had it not become necessary to keep
lobbyist at the legislature to watch
abor legislation.
Enclosed you will find blank for re-
porting the result of the vote in your
union. Kindly let us know your senti-
ments at once. The time for receiving
the vote will expire at noon on the 10th
day of April. With best wishes for
your success, and hoping for an early
expression, am,
Yours fraternally,
w. E. M'EWEN,
Sec.-Treas.

WOOdwOrkers of Minneapolis Are
Successful in Their Deplands.

WOOdwOrkers of minneapolis Arc
Successful in Their Demands.
MINNEAPOLIS, March 7.-During
the past few days the controversy be-
tween the Woodworkers' Union of Min
neapolis and the manufacturers of the
city in regard to the working contract
for the coming year, has assumed
more favorable aspect, and there is
now good prospect that there will be
no strike this spring. The woodwork
ers notified their employers that they
wanted nine-hour day during the
coming year and the demand met with
opposition. A week ago there was lit
tie chance of an amicable. settlement
being reached, but as the winter draws
| to a close the indications constantly
| cropping out that the coming season
will be an unusually prosperous one
| in this line of industry have had the
| effect of lessening the tension.
Louis Hansen, the business agent of
the union, announced yesterday that Of
| the sixteen factories in the city all but
one are ready 10 sign the Woodworkers
| agreement without amendment. The
| one firm that is standing out is one Of
the largest in the city, and it is the
company that recently made all I'M
successful attempt to induce a number
of it's union employees to sign an agree
lnent not to strike May 1, il the wood
| workers terms were not complied with
Mr. Hansen says that during the past
winter more members of the union
| have been out of work than at any
previous time during the past six
years. The past few weeks have wit
messed a remarkable revival in bust
ness, however, and there is every in
dication that the coming season will
be very prosperous one. AS an indi-
cation of this revival he says that he
received an order for six skilled cabi-
net makers at wages that are regarded
as gilt-edged. Orders have been coming
in to the factories all through Febru-
airy, and the firms find themselves in
such a position that if there is strike
in May they will lose the greater part
of the profits of the whole season.

The Carpenters, Union held a. poorly
attended meeting on Tuesday evening:
This was evidently caused by the ex-
IRENE cold weather which was prevail
ing then. The conference committee,
which was meeting with the Structural
Workers Union, made an informal re-
port, but no action was taken upon it,.
The next meeting will be held Tuesday
evening, and the special order will he
the consideration of change in the
initiation fee. A large attendance is

your share to the performing of this
great and good work.
The cost of utilization is but $1.O0, and

affiliating. BY affiliating we guarantee
to you our united protection, and you
have the privilege of preserving your

FREEZING ICE CREAM,
Although 1t Il 4 Simple Process, Very
Few HouSekeepers Know How
to Do II RIGHT.

There 10 . Boston legend that ice
cream was first made by famous col
ored cook of Boston. which is so often
repeated that it is a pity to recall
the fact that the French made sweet
dishes CONCEALED with ice us long ago
as the age of Cardinal Richelieu, who
was himself famous bon vivant and
the inventor of the salad mayonnaise.
The success of an ice cream depends
upon its being properly frozen. A
cream that is CONCEALED until it is as
hard as an icicle is as much failure
as one half frozen. The process must
be such as to make creamy but per-.
fectly compact mass. 1t is easy to
freeze cream in few minutes by U.s.
ing an extra amount of salt. This
will produce coarse grained, icy
cream that is anything but palatable.
Use about three pints of coarse rock
salt to IL quarts of ice, crushed fine,
for gallon freezer. Put in layer of
ice, then sprinkle in the salt and pack
in another layer of fine ice. Continue
packing the ice and salt and pressing
it with a blunt, wedgelike piece OF
wood. A wooden spoon does very we'll.
Put the liquid cream into the can,
cover it up and turn the freezer for
about three or four minutes. At the
end of this time remove the cover
of the can and with sharp edged
knife scrape the side of the can and
the bottom. Mix the hard frozen
layer of cream thus scraped off with
the thin cream in the center. Upon
the thorough mixing of the frozen
cream with the liquid cream in the
center the rapid successful freezing
of the cream depends. Close up the
can and turn the freezer again for
two or three minutes and repeat the
scraping of the sides of the can and
mixture of the cream. After turning
the cream again and mixing it, it
should be thick enough to close up
and pack away. Let it remain packed
away for at least two hours before it
is served.-N. Y. Tribune.

POPULAR CLUB WOMEN.

Not many women in the midst of off,

philanthropic matters, but Mrs. Fair
banks, wife of the senator from In
diana, excels in interest and work along
The lines of socialology and philan-
thropy.
II believe" said Mrs. Fairbanks, Tin
such work, especially among youths
and children, and think that to diffuse
truth and intelligence in early life will
prevent crime in later years."
Mrs. Fairbanks was appointed by
Gov. Hovey, and was the first woman
in Indiana to hold position on the
board of state charities. The duties of
this office required visiting all penal,
correction and educational institutions,
also looking into all reformatory mat
tiers, as we'll as blind asylums and other
charities in the state. This great work
was cheerfully and efficiently attended
to in Indiana, and as soon as Mrs. Fair
banks arrived in Washington last fall
she was called upon by the board OF
trustees of the National Junior Repub-
lie to take the presidency of the Wom-

Ans league, connected with that insti-
tuition, and situated between Washing
ton and Baltimore. This philanthropic
work is entered into by both cities and
is a special effort for children, whose
lives are blighted at birth by poverty
and crime.
At first Mrs. Fairbanks refused to
enter into this work, owing to pressure
of social and other philanthropic mat
tiers, but the management, knowing
her peculiar fitness, pressed her to visit
the buildings on the farm at Annapolis
Junction, which she did, witnessing
these little waits governing themselves
after the plan of the George Junior
Republic, which allows the "citizens,"
as the inmates are called, to elect their
own president, judges and other off,

Fairbanks was so impressed with the
value of the work that she withdrew
her refusal, and now her elegant resi-
dence is thrown open for the meetings
of the board of Woman's League of
National Junior Republic, over which
she presides. Thus the house so often
open in entertaining dignitaries of
this and other lands is also open to
philanthropic interests.
Mrs. Fairbanks is also a member of
the governing board of the General
Federation of Women's clubs. She was
born in Ohio, and both she and her
husband are graduates of the Ohio
Wesleyan university. being students at

organization, and has consented to
do so.
