FAVOR UNION LABOR
COUNCIL ASKS CITY CONTRACTORS
TO PROMISE TO EN-
PLOY n
ONE FIRM REFUSES FLATLY
Aldermen Attempt to Rescind Con-
tract on This Account, but Arc
Unsuccessful - Assembly
VIII Be Asked to Act.

At the request of the Building Trades
council and the local Painters union, the
board of aldermen last night tried to i'm
pose upon the bidders for several large
city contracts an agreement to employ
union labor, but were not successful to
the extent of receiving a direct answer,
Prior to placing a $500 contract with
Fielding & Shepley for the painting of
the high bridge, and also one Of $7,032 for
the painting and paving of the Selby ave-
nue. bridge to the same firm, a promise
was secured from one member Of the
firm to employ union labor if possible,
but in the case of Newman & Hoy, who
were given a contract for the painting
and flooring of the Fort Smelling bridge,
there was practically a fiat refusal
By some oversight the latter contract
had been awarded before a promise to
employ union labor had been exacted,
and this brought a demand from Aid.
Murphy and Bantz that the contract be
taken away from the firm. After con-
siderable discussion a halfway promise
to employ the labor requested was OBJ
tained but this did not satisfy, and the
vote to rescind was taken. 1t was lost
by majority Of two, but not until near
ly every member had accompanied his
vote with an explanation.
A delegation from the union was in
attendance to give strength to their de-
mands. The union men insist that they
will now go before the assembly and en-
deavor to have the Newman & Hoy con-
tract thrown out. This firm was over
81 900 under the next lowest bidder.

NAME WORTH MONEY
BUTTER LABELED s.1IINNES0TA"
ALWAYS FINDS READY
SALE
TRIBUTE OF COMMISSION MAN
Commissioners Mcconnell FavOrs
Registered Trademark for Cream
cry Butter-February Monthly
Contest Is Announced.

IF I had $4,000 pounds Of guaranteed
Minnesota butter today [ could sell it all
outside of this state for 20 cents a pound. ?
So said a well known commission man of
St. Paul yesterday, thus paying practical
tribute to the supremacy Of Minnesota
as a butter producing state.
Eastern merchants are most eager to
get hold of Minnesota butter. They vie
with each other in securing contracts with
Minnesota butter-makers for their entire
supply. These commission men have
agents In the state who attempt
to corral the output of the best but
ter-malzers, and they make some very
tempting offers in order to secure the
Minnesota product"
-All this is in line with Dairy Commits
sioner McConnells idea that Minnesota
standard butter ought to have a registered
trademark which would indicate its ma
tiVity when it gets on the market. AS
Minnesota flour is known throughout the
world by its trademark, he wound have
the Minnesota butter branded so that
the buyer could know that he was get
ting the best Minnesota product. The
creamerieS which produce butter up to
standard could have a registered brand
ing mark made by - Creamery,
Minnesota" which would add to its sell
ing power.
lEany Eastern commission merchants
get supplies OF Minnesota butter and Keep
it in cold storage and find it an easy
matter to dispose of it then in compe-
tition with fresh butter on other markets.
Commissioner Mcconnell yesterday sent
out to all creamerieS the notice of the
February contest which takes place on
the 28th All butter-makers are urged to
send in a twenty-pound tub for the gen
eral scoring and in addition a five-pound
Jar to be put away in storage for thirty
days and then scored again, to test its
"staying qualities.

ONEYEARCOUNTSASTWO
SOLDIERS IN FOREIGN SERVICE
HAVE ONE GREAT ADVANTAGE
System May Have to Be Abolished,
as 1t Tends to Cripple Serv-
ice by Early Retire
ments.

zone very important factor of the
United States troops serving in the Phil
lppines and other possessions that has
not been given much publicity is the fact
that each year that a soldier serves in the
foreign possessions counts as two in COM
putting his years of service in view of re-
trement," said an officer in the army
by this arrangement, beside the adj
vance of pay of one quarter OF the regu-
lar pay, the soldier who spends fifteen
years in the service is eligible to retire
ment at three-fourths Of the pay of the
rank he holds at the time of the expira-
ton of his service.
For instance, If a man has served ten
years before he went into service in the
foreign possessions he will only have ten
years more to serve before he can be
retired. There are not a great many
troops that serve fifteen, or even ten
years in foreign service, but many of
those who have been in the service fiji
teen or twenty years will be retired in
from ten to twenty years earlier than
they would have been had they remain
ed in service at home"
This is one of the inducements that
seemed to be overlooked when recruits
were Sorely needed for the foreign service
and army men think it is only a question
Of time when this system will have to be
abolished; for, they say, within ten years
from now the redrements will be SO rapid
that they will cripple the service.
In speaking of retirements, it is prob
able that the department Of the Dakotas
will have permanent resident, COM
handing Office before long. Gen. Otis
who is in command of the department
as we'll as the department of the lakes,
with headquarters at Chicago, will have
reached the age of retirement in March
of this year.
Just who will be given command of this
deparement is not known at present, but
at headquarters they are expecting news
almost any day now, announcing the new
commander,

FOR HUMANE CAUSE
PREVENTION OF CRU
ELTY
YEARS REPORT ENCOURAGING
ID. R. NOyes Reelected President
New Societies Organized and En-
fective Work Accomplished
Doings of the Session.

The annual meeting of the Minnesota
Society for the Prevention of Cruelty was
held yesterday in the rooms Of the Relief
society on East Ninth street. D. R.
Moves was reelected president, and a
motion was made to re-elect T. A. Alb
bott secretary, but he declined, pleading
that his duties as president of the local
society were too heavy to allow him time
for this office. ]. S. Fugate was elected
secretary. J. /. Jillette was elected treas
urer, to fill the place of the late w. l..
Wilson. r. A Hoyt was reelected agent
The secretary'S report showed increased
interest in humane work throughout the
state during the year. Five new societies
have been organized through the efforts
of Mrs. G. A. Severance, the corresponds
ing secretary, at Waseca st. Paul Park
Hastings, Cottage Grove and Mantor-
vile, and two through personal efforts,
one at StewartviIle and one at Redwood
Falls.
The most effective work done in the
past year, in the opinion of the secre-
tary.-was the stopping of the growing
practice Of sending up live dogs in para
chuteS at county fairs Considerable OPP
position came from New Ulm parties, but
they were finally forced to desist and no
attempt has been made to repeat the pro-
gramme at other places.
The society has received its first be-
quest. A sum of $500 from a resident Of
Scandinavia has been donated to the so
ciety through Mr.. Hobe the Swedish
vice consul. Correspondence has been
carried on concerning the bull fights at
Denver and Buffalo, and railroad officials
have been influenced to look after the
comfort of cattle in transportation.
DR.. Richard Burton, upon a recommen-
dation of the secretary in his report, was
made an honorary member and will be
presented with the society's badge in ap-
probation of mis- services in behalf of
the organization.
The treasurer's report showed balance
of $72.45. A committee of two, consist
ing of T. A. Abbott and J. S. Fugate,
was appointed to prepare an annual re-
port which, it is thought, will be of great
benefit to the society.
Those present at the meeting were 2.

A. Hoyt, M. L. Hutchins, T. A. Abbott
W E. Bramhall, ] A. Moak and Mrs
c. H. Goodrich, of St. Paul; Miss Vera

neapolis.
Reports from several local societies
throughout the state show a great adj
vance in the work, Minneapolis leading.

IN SESSION
MISSISSIPPI VALLEY ASSOCIATION
MEETS IN MINNEAPOLIS

The Mississippi Valley Lumbermens' as
ISOLATION. met in annual session in the
ordinary of the West hotel Minneapolis,
at 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon. There
were present a large number OF lumber
manufacturers from all the states COM
prised in the district covered by the as
ISOLATION. The forenoon was taken up
by committee meetings and a meeting
was also held by the board of directors.
One Of the most important questions
to come UP was the revision of certain
clauses in the constitution These changes
were decided on at the last annual meet
ing, when a committee was appointed to
look into the matter and suggest changes.
The changes have been made necessary
on account of the extensive growth Of
the lumber industry. The price list COM
mittee is not provided for by the other
constitution and it is expected that a new
provision covering this detail win be
adopted.
Nothing was given out at the adjourn
ment of the price list committee ait noon
except that there will be practically no
changes in the prevailing list Of prices.

BODY A MASS OF SORES
HEALTH OFFICE LOCATES SICK Ne
GRO IN SQUALID Howell.

With his body a mass of sores, George
Baltimore. negro, was taken from a
howell in the rear Of SCI Broadway, yes
terday by the health department and or
dered to the hospital. Baltimore's pres
ence in the neighborhood and his frightful
condition was learned by the hea--- de-
partment yesterday and fearing that it
might be bad case of smallpox, the
matter was investigated. Baltimore was
found in a small building in the rear
OF the number given and was SO ema-
ciated by disease that he was a horrible
object. His body literally covered with
sores, added to his misery, while the odor
that filled the room was nauseating This
and the danger of contagion was soon re-
moved by the health inspectors, which
disinfected the premises thoroughly.
Later, Baltimores removal to hospital
was ordered
Baltimore in his day was a bad negro
and for murderous assault on a servant
girl was given long term at Saltwater.
He was released some time ago, but ow-
ing to his illness has not been seen at his
old haunts.
