Timers. A committee of five was ap-
pointed to visit these unions to request
they send delegates regular, excepting
the bricklayers, who have withdrawn
whenever they have been required to
assist in any controversy. The council
voted that they would not ask their
affiliations; they must come of their
own accord. They discussed the tax
code at great length, admitted it was
an unjust code but decided they would
spend no money to defcat the passage.
The committee appointed to assist the
painters to unionize a large building
reported they had succeeded in pre-
vailing on the contractors to employ

men had quit and promised to shortly
join the union. The committee was

TOO MUCH FOR SEc0ND-CLASs

The lawyers were discussing the
merits and dement's of a we'll known
member of the New Orleans bar who
had been gathered to his fathers, says
the Times-Democrat, and one of the
party recalled the time when he studied
in the old mans office. We had
copying clerk whose inefficiency con-
tinually worked the Judge up to a point
Of explosion. One day a wire basket
fell off the top Of his desk and
scratched his cheek. Not having anv
court plaster, he slapped on three post
age stamps and went on with his work.
little later he had some papers to
take to the United States court, and
forgetting all about the stamps, he put
on his hat and went out. AS he en-
tered the office the Judge, raised his
head and fixed him with an astonished
stare. The clerk stopped and looked
frightened, and finally asked: amy

A new MORNING WILL DAWN.

John P. Altgeld, in concluding an
address to Brooklyn laborihg men,
said: FINALLY; let me say that a new
order of thought is abroad in the
land. While at the top the corpora
tions are strangling justice and rob-
bing the people, underneath there is
growing and rapidly spreading gen.
eral demand for more equitable con-
ditions. All classes are expressing dis
content with existing wrong, and a
condemnation of the degrading COM
mercialism of our time. An entirely
new literature which breathes the
spirit Of human brotherhood is filling
the land. The pen Of the age is on
the side of truth. Only the hired
scribblers for the press and the capi-
talistic' magazines seems dark with
much tribulation, but the hirelings who
now torture labor and assassinate lib
erty will be buried in their own in
fanny. A new morning will dawn,
radiant with the splendor Of freedom,
and the children Of toll will come into
their Inheritance ~ .y~.> :. :, ...,.s

When it did it gave the Republicans

because of any charge of fraud, but
simply to satisfy themselves that no

THE INJUNCTION JUDGE.
Assumes All the Prerogatives of q
Turkish Pasha.

A judge issues an injunction forbid
ding you to do such and such thing.
You have a perfect right under the
Constitution of the United States to
do that which he forbids. His iniunc-
tion may be unjust and illegal, but
neither this injunction nor the author
ity Of the Constitution will save you
if you disobey the Injunction The
judge himself, the offended one, has
then absolute power to punish you. He
can fine you or put you in Jail at his
pleasure. You have no possible appeal.
In an ordinary transaction the citi-
zen who is supposed to have committed
an offense is entitled to trial by jury
and to appeal his case.
But if you offend an Injunction
judge, he himself is the jury, he is the
judge, he fixes the penalty.
This is law, but it is stupid law, civ
ilize< country.
Such laws exist because we allow
the judges and the lawyers to make
our laws for us and to make such
laws as will fill their pockets or in
crease their arbitrary power.
No man in the United States should
have power to punish another for a
crime committed against himself.
The judge who sentences a. man to
jail on his own authority because his
judicial dignity is offended practically
applies lynch law, and if lynch law
is abominable, the bench should be the
first to abolish it.-Chicago American.

TAX COMMITTEE MEETS WITH Sue
CESS AT ST. PAUL.
Hold Meetings With St. Paul and

All Labor Agrees That Bill Has
Objectionable Features-United
Action Is Expected-Comm to
Visit Local Unions Successful

President Henry Dworschak went to
Minneapolis Tuesday to arrange for q
special meeting of the Minneapolis
Trades assembly on Wednesday.
Gordon O'Neil and Henry Perault
left at Ills Tuesday night and took
with them 500 circulars to be distrib-
uted in opposition to the new tax code.
The meeting was held Wednesday
when our delegation presented the
grievance before that august body The
obnoxious clauses were explained and
the meeting took great interest in the
speeches delivered by our delegation
They won the support of the assembly
and procured a special meeting of the
Federation council of the State FEEDER
5ation of Labor for Thursday afternoon.
On Thursday night they also ap-
peared before the St. Paul Trades
assembly at a special meeting to take
action on the tax code.
They all agreed on united action to
defeat. the Objectionable clauses.
The circular issued by the Duluth
assembly has been copied by the Min
nesota Union Advocate and the Minne-
apolis Journal, so it will have been
read by thousands which will have
great effect.
A committee from the Trades as
sembly waited on the Butchers union
and the Sheet Metal Workers union
urging that they insist on better at
tendance from their delegates.
The butchers remarked that Friday
night was busy time with them and
they would attend better if the meet
ing was held some other night.
The unions thanked the delegation
for the visit and promised to send
full delegation.

men will do more work. will consent
to do so without grumbling, so long
as it adds to the effective competitive
powers of the manufacturer, either
against a ow-manufacturer or an

There is certainly some truth in
the fact stated that the American
workman shares the interest of his
employer ags41st competitors, but the
employer depends less upon sentiment
to induce such interest than he does
upon material recognition and reward
of such loyalty.

*'The results may be easily gauged.
Although the American employer is
more or less like other employers,
anxious to obtain efficient labor at
lowest cost, he. is more mathematical
in his estimates Of what is cheapest
labor by results. He does not, on the
whole, begrudge the worker something
more than a beggarly pittance, and
as result he obtains a willing and
loyal servant. I should be the last to
believe he does this out Of mere senti-
mental interest in the workman. Far
from that, he is materialistic, and
values the productive results of a good
wage to the toiler exactly as he would
measure the productive results of good
feed to his horses.

MINNEAPOLIS, Feb. 6.-(Special to
The Labor Worldly The members of
the Trades and Labor council did not
place themselves on record regarding
the new tax law last night.
The tax question came before the
meeting when a committe of three rep
resenting the Trades Assembly, Duluth,
appeared before the body asking that
the council appoint committee to CO.
operate with them in opposing those
sections In the next tax bill taxing
wheat in storage, reducing the amount
of personal property exempt from 500
to $25. and taxing vessels in harbors.
This committee consisted Of President
Dworschak, of the Trades Assembly:
Gordon O'Neil, third vice president Of
the international Longshoremen's
union, and H. D. Peareault The visit
~ors spoke eloquently in behalf Of the
resolution pointing out how, in their
opinion, the law would injure Duluth
and drive trade and commerce over into
Wisconsin. Their contention was that
the new bill would be a bad thing for
organized labor at Duluth.
Many desired to aid the Duluth as
sembly, and all agreed with their state
ments. The majority seemed to think
that it would be useless to take up a
matter that affected Duluth only. If
it was shown that it would injure the
entire state, they said, it would be
time to take action. Therefore, the
matter was laid on the table. It is
possible that at the next meeting the
tax bill will be more fully considered.
There seemed to be a general lack of
information regarding the details of
the proposed new law.
The published statements that organ
lied labor had taken up the fight to
have Fred Briggs pardoned from the
Workhouse stirred up no little discus.
sion. Those who had interested them-
selves in Briggs behalf, belonging to
the council, stated that they had done
so as individuals.
A resolution anent the matter was
adopted.
The new officers of the council were
installed by retiring President Louis
Hanse, who made speech thanking
