Thomas T. Kidd, fifth vice president Of
the American Federation of Labor. John
B. Lennon, it's treasurer, and James Dun
CAM first vice president, spoke before a
large audience at Federation hall in St.
Paul last might. They are en- route to
San Francisco to attend a meeting of the
executive committee of the organization.
Mr. Duncan traced the history of or
ganized labor and told what it had done
to raise the standard of labor and bene-
At the laboring man. The money spent
in maintaining labor unions was one Of
the best investments in history, he de-
clared and without the union, the laboring
man would be out, every year, many times
the amount paid into the Golfers of the
local union. He cited the granite cut
ters' urion. as an instance. Fhis union
from 1885 to 1900 secured for it's mem
bers an average of Is cents per day more
wages than were received without a
unton total of $10,S75. 900 for 5000 men
for the fifteen years.
The cigarmakers' union had complied
statistics showing the value of its orr
gsnization, and found that with an eight
hour day the lives of it's members were
increased an average of six years, and the
Hives OF wives Of members an average Of
lqght years.
Mr.. Kidd urged the necessity of slow,
syTrogressive move ment The laboring men
must see that their organizations are not
used for political purposes or to advance
any particular school Of economic reform.
The labor problem is so big that 1t prob
ably never will be solved. but there can
be. steady advancement. The demands Of
+ to-day are radical compared with those
OF yesterday, and the demands of to-mor-
row will be radical compared with those
of to-day.
Mr.. Lennon emphasized tRes Importance
of the union label, which is guarantee
that goods are made by labor that was
properly treated and under wholesome
conditions. He also dwelt on the moral
influence of trade unions.
Messrs. Kidd and Lennon and D. D.
Mulcahey, president of the Anal gamated
Wood Workers association. will speak at
mass melting at the Bijou theater, Min
neapoiis, this evening.

Mr.. Cleveland after the latter had made his
impudent and insolent speech calling upon
the Democratic party to repent. The Com
'moner does not condemn Mr.. Hill merely
because he sinned In 1885, but because he Is
ready to- repeat the sin; 1t is not because he
did his party wrong, but because there is
mo reason 70 doubt that ahe will follow in the
future the same course he has followed In
the pasta Mr.. FIilRs conduct showed how
his speeches show that he has not changed:
therefore, he and the party must be as far
apart now unless the party has undergone
a change.

The counties which have not Yet chosen
delegates are Dickinson, with seven del
egates; Gegobic with six, and KeWeenaw
with two. In all of these the conventions
will be held before the week expires.
It is practically assured that Sheldon
will secure Keweenaw and generally con-
ceded that both Dickinson and Gegobfc
will go for Young, thus giving the latter
q total vote Of fifty, or one more neces-
sary to nominate.
In this estimate, however, no allow
ance has been made for the contesting
Sheldon delegation in schoolcraft county.
There Young won out in the primaries
very handily, after a vigorous fight, and
controlled the convention, the result be-
ing that bolt by the other faction and
the selection Of contesting delegation
in the hope that Sheldon could muster
enough votes to seat it. With Houghton
county, Sheldon would have had forty
seven uncontested delegates. and Young,
without Schoolcraft, would have had the
same number. For this reason there has
been some fear in the Young ranks that
by hook - crook the, irregularly chosen
Schoolcraft delegation would be seated
and by that method Sheldon would again
land the plum. The outcome Of the
Houghton convention, however, is taken
