De Wndt spoke as follows:
II should say that the railway project is
feasible, though no railway will follow the
route we took. 1t will go several hundred
miles to the southwark and through a rich
mineral country. Privately | received the
information that the Russians are survey
ing such a line. but am not at liberty to
say exactly what course it will take. The
only difficulty which is in the way is in
transferring at Boring straits. The great
distance makes tunnel impra cticabie
and the miles of ice foes. constantly NOV
ing render navigation almost impossible
However, this problem may be solved and
then the project will be assaiable and un .
doubtcdly such a road will be built.

fish and some other Northern delicacies
there and proceeded onward. Tho natives
told us we would have to go further to SO

some other food the like of which we had
not tasted in many weeks.
"From this point on to the shores of the

progress was comparatively easy. All this

ers of the state with view of having
the alleged violations Of the child labor
law thoroughly sifted by Governor
Murphy. A. J. Skeffington, representa-
tive of the National Boot and Shoe
Workers Union, has obtained a dozen
children who are employed in the glass
factories in and about Minitola and
these will be taken before every large
Central Labor Union in the state. All
of the twelve human exhibits are under
the legal age and Skeffington says that
he has positive profit of their ages that
will be submitted along with the chill
dren. Invitations will be extended to
prominent business men, politicians,
professional men and members of the
clergy to be present at the meetings
where the children are exhibited. After
the public exhibitions of the labor law
has been made, the children will be
taken before Governor Murphy and he
will be asked to take immediate steps
to remedy the existing evil. Labor
unions of the state have taken a deep
interest in the child labor question, and
now that crusade has been instituted
the fight will be one to a finish.

In our issue of Sept. 9Th, we pub
lished an interview with Marcus IL.
Fay, who was then just entering the
field for the Democratic nomination for
congress from the Duluth district. In
this interview Mr.. Fay advanced two
strong propositions on the present in
dustrial situation, viz: That ne Ia
vored a nafional board of arbitration
and he favored congressional leglsla-
ton that would require all corpora
tions or trusts that went into the
courts asking for injunctions against
striking employees, to first file with the
court a stipulation or agreement that
they would arbitrate the matters III
DISPUTE. Since we published that in
terview we have had the opinion OF
several lawyers of the highest stand
ing that such a law would be const1-
tutional and all agree that it would be
most Statutory.
Mr.. Fay received the Democratic
nomination at the primaries on Sept.
18th, and since that time he has been
4 very busy man, but we asked him
for something further as to his ideas
concerning Ildl!Ollo1 OOcAAS Y. VI 90 M
tration and we herewith give his in
tervieW:
1T is rather difficult to state in an
off-hand manner just how such
board should be created or the pow
ers that sould be vested in it. My
conception of such a board would be
however, one very similar to the in
terstate commerce commission. The
interstate commerce commission,
through it's work during the last eight
or ten years has been the means OF
securing and maintaining for the pro,
ducers, shippers and travelling public
of the United States stable, fair and
uniform transportation rates.
Now, why should we not have ma
1ional board of arbitration or commits
sion whose duties and power would
be to examine into the workings and
doings of all corporations or trusts
that handle or control the natural re-
sources of the country and particu-
larly the meat trust, flour trust, coal
trust and others controlling the neces-
stiles of life. Only short time ago
The labor world. [volume] (Duluth, Minn.) 1896-current, 1902-10-04

the people were aroused to the high
est pitch of indignation at the extor-
tions of the meat trust and it looked
for awhile as though the President
would take hold of the matter and in
vestigate, but whatever he did or in
tended to do fell flat, for the reason
that we have no law to reach these
greedy monsters. And again within
the last few days the same thing oc-
ours in the Pennsylvania coal strike.
Hundreds of thousands of people all
over the country are In a panic over
the prospect of no coal for the coming
winter and yet the president can do
nothing because he says he has no
authority given him by law.
! maintain that these great trusts
which control the resources and neces-
sites Of the people are the natural
offsprings Of the paternal legislation
Of the last few years.
When we see the trusts safe guard
ed by all kinds of laws and able to go
into the courts and obtain injunctions
or most any relief they ask and again
we see the president of the United
oIcIICo AOAAAAA6 up lilo AAo1ANos o1J AA6
can do nothing while $4,000 men and
their families are next to starvation
and all classes of people are in dis
tress for want of coal with winter COM
ing on. say it is high time we were
making some new laws.
Why should we not have a national
commission clothed with power to re-
gulate in some degree the control,
handling and in some fair way the
prices Of the necessities of the peo-
pie. This is no new idea. There is
hardly a. European country that has
not laws which in some manner regu-
late the trade in the various necessi-
ties Of life.
I suppose all of the congressional
candidates over the country of both
parties are damning the coal and meat
trust and after election, if you re-
mind them of their strong INJECTIONS
against these monsters and ask them
what they purpose doing they will
tell you you simply had a bad dream
things are not as bad as they look.
I am in earnest in this matter and
should / be elected to congress from
this district I would devote all of
my time and energies toward securing
some legislation in concrete form that
would cure the existing evils.

There probably never In the history
Of the state has been a difference be-
tween employer and employe regarding
hours and wages that was settled so
amicably and with such general salts
faction to both sides concerned. There
were nearly 900 mill employees in the
hall, where the question was discussed,
and along the street in front of the hall
there was crowd gathered that made
walking or the sidewalk almost impos-
sible. Long before the meeting was
called to order in the afternoon there
were groups Of mill employees gathered
along the street discussing the PROPOSE
ton offered by the owners.
Although the men were not talking
for publication it was evident that any
attempt t. call strike would meet
with great opposition on the part of
many of the men, who expressed them
selves as feeling that the mill owners
proposition was fair and equitable,
when everything was taken into consi-
deration. '.'.
The owners deserve much praise for
their concession, when it is known that
all of the flour mills in the country
work their men twelve hours a day.
The labor world. [volume] (Duluth, Minn.) 1896-current, 1902-10-04

The Minneapolis millers have won
the eight-hour day. On Saturday last
in reply to an ultimatum sent out bys
the union the mill owners Of Mime,
apolis agreed to the eight hour day,
but instead of allowing twelve hours
pay for the shortened working day, an
increase of wages per hour is offered
the operators.
This increase amounts to about 40
per cent more per hour than under the
old present twelvehour schedule.
The mill owners issued the following
statement to the union:
"A committee of the Four Mill EN-
ployes' association waited on the mill
ing companies of Minneapolis, Sept. "a,
1902, and demanded an eight-hour day
without reduction in the present pay
for a tWelve-hour day.
1--WE know that many of our men are
members Of the above union, but we
also know that some of our men are
not. AS it is impossible for us to meet
all of our men personally, we ask that
you meet them for us as opportunity
offers, and make the following state
ment: .
1T is not our intention to oppose you
or your union, but when it comes to the
question OF wages or hours, that is a
business question to be met in a bust
ness-like way, and we must simply re-
peat our answer made to you on May
II, of this year, that Minneapolis mills
cannot pay for eight hours work high
err wages than mills in all other Sec
tions of the country pay for twelve
hours work. Your work is mainly SUI
perintending machines, and is different
from the work of men in many other
employments, and you cannot, as is
claimed for many other employments,
do as much work in eight hours as in
twelve hours" The mill >owners in
their statement offered to pay the fol-
lowing wages:
The mil]ers now receiving SO to re-
ceive IS cents per hour for eight hours.
Machine men now receiving $3.50 to
receive rs cents per hour for eight
hours.
Machine men now receiving $2.25, to
receive 26 cents per hour for eight
hours.
Oilers now receiving 81 to receive
23h cents per hour for eight hours.
Sweepers, now receiving $1.75, to re-
ceive % cents per hour for eight hours
If the offer made the employees is ac-
cepted the new schedule will 60 into
effect on or about Oct. ~.
The proposition was brought before
the mill employers union at their Sun
day meeting. The session lasted sever
al hours and the scale was agreed upon
after considerable debate amid shout
ing and hurrahs: 49,"
