ic seat next February. His opponent
will in all proba bility be Walter Mar
vim, an old time Republican of this
city.
H. A. Wing expects no opposition fol-
reelection in the Fifth ward. The
Democrats are talking Edward Ribe-
mack and George Brown for the nomi'
nation against Mr.. Wing. There will
in all probability be a lively battle in

Frank Schaeffer has been urged tc

men in the Sixth ward He has con-
sented to again enter the field, and at
this writing it does not look that he
will have any opposition.
L. A. Barnes will perhaps file for the
nomination for alderman again in the
Seventh ward It is too early to say
who his opposition will be. Mr.. Barnes
has made a splendid record, and will
have very little trouble at the COM
ing election.
Edward Swenson has not said wheth-
er he will be a candidate again or not.
Ex-Alderman Sang will seek the Dem
ocratic nomination, and will undoubt-
edly give his Republican opponent an
old time fight.
There was much satisfaction ex-
pressed in the city when j. Adam Bede
announced the appointment of S. H.
Bingham as his private secretary. Mr..
Bingham is one of the most popular
ana best known newspaper men in the
northwest.
Simon Clarke's appointment as Sur
veyor General of Logs by Gov. Van
SAINT was a surprise to the anti-Will-
cuts faction. It was supposed all the
time that the governor would appoint
Captain Stevens, who more than any
other person was responsible for Mr..
Xan..Sant,s. strong endorsement here,
Governor Van SAINT owes q good deal
to the so-called anti-Wilcutts faction.
Willcuts was never in sympathy with
his administration. So it can be i'm
agined that when Mr.. Clarke's ap-
pointn1ent was announced it came like
a thunderbolt in the Stevens camp. All
kinds Of explanations have been ad-
vanced. Here is the latest. Governor
Van SAINT does not expect to be elected
governor again. He has higher ambi-
tions. The United States Senate has
charms for him. The Stevens faction did
not succeed in nominating any candi-
dates for legislature. This was left for
the Willcuts faction to do. Governor
Van SAINT has no more use for the
Stevens factions in so much as they
can do him no good. So he has been
making overtures with the Willcuts
faction. The first is the appointment Of
Mr.. Clarke, one of the strongest fol-
lowers of Mr.. Willcutts, to one Of the
most lucrative positions in the state.
Other appointments are expected to
follow that will land the whole VIII
cults faction in the camp of Van SAINT

! The most important report read was
that of the committee on local trade
and federal unions.
The subject Of money for defense
funds during strikes and lockouts was
first considered. The committee has
pronounced that no strike in the future
shall be legal unless recognized by
the president of the local union con-
! cerned, the executive council Of such
union and by the president and exc
cutive council Of the American Fedora
tion of Labor.
A strike Of any local union, according
| to the report, can be decided upon
only by a vote Of three-fourths of all
| the members of that local body.

For the two first weeks no defense
fund shah be paid to any striking men,
ber Of any local union. After g. strike
has been under headway for four weeks
all the members reporting daily at their
Union headquarters may receive $500
per week. Those who do not report
daily get nothing. Those members of
the local union who gets three days
work per week is not entitled to any
defense fund.
No strike in the future can be de-

of all the members present. The MEM

benefit Of the defense fund, and at
least $1,000 shall at all times be kept
in the treasury for the purpose of strike

Since the enaction Of the primary

their position. They say that between

1t is too early to say what will be
the outcome in the aldermanic fights.
Watson s. Moore will be a candidate
for the Republican nomination in the
First Ward. He will probably be re-
elected with but little, if any oppo-
sition. AS this is a labor paper with
out any party politics, and only look

be friendly to la Dor, we can say IN all
candor that we would rather have a

Contrary to all expectations he voted
for everything in which union labor
was interested without any hesitation.

"The object Of the unions seems to
be to work as few hours as possible
produce as little as possible during that
time, and receive as much money as
possible for the service given."-Presi-
dent Eliot. of Harvard.
When President Gompers declared
the expression Of such radical and mis-
leading opinions looked backward to-
ward barbarian, rather than to the fu.
ture, he was right, says the st. Paul
News.
An educator should make conserva-
tive statements, and should know what
he is talking about.
Let us take the allegations seriatim:
1. The unions want to work as few
hours az possible.
That is untrue.
No labor union has ever made any
effort to reduce the hours Of labor be-
low that Of eight hours. All sociolegists
agree that eight hours Of manual la.
Dor is, or ought to be, sufficient. The
government Of the United States has
enacted eight hours as the standard
All authorities agree that eight hours
for labor, eight hours for sleep, and
eight hours for recreation and instruc-
ton make an ideal division of time.
2. Union labor produces as little as
possible.
That is also untrue and misleading.
The American workman produces
more in given time than any other
workman in the world. The fact is
matter of common knowledge. The
superior skill and capacity Of our arti-
sans, more than any other factor, has
given us the markets of the world. The
merest tyro in economics could en-
tighten President Eliot on this point
3. Union labor wants as much money
as possible for it's service.
Sure.
Can you blame it for that?
Doesn't capital want as large return
as it can get? Can you censure a man
for getting as large a wage as he can
command? Especially when his en-
ployer is trying to get his services for
the least wage possible? Is not labor
free to make it's own contracts?
It is too late in the worlds history to
fight unionism.
Unionism is an evolution Of the in
dustrial age. Conditions have formed
and fostered it. It Is part Of the ma
chinery of the times. It has come to
stay.
The labor unions are far from per-
feet. Few modern institutions are per-
feet. Some Of the unions are too nor
row in their views, and too selfish.
They will overcome that. Some of
them have not always been honest.
They have not always kept their
pledges. But they are learning that
honesty is the best policy.
Above all, the labor unions are the
American workingmen's schools. The
union labor hall is q free forum. The
old-time debating school has been
transferred to the lyceum Of labor.
No American need fear the outcome
Of the free expression of the Intelligent
and skilled laborers Of this country.
Unionism builds homes.
You need not fear the man who owns
his little home and pays taxes.

FEDERATION CONVENTION ARRANG.
ES FOR CAMPAIGN FOR PEO-
PLES' RULE.
Every State and Central Labor Body
will be Asked to Appoint a Conn.,
mittee to Work for Adoption of
Providing for Money for Defense
Funds and Establishing Rules

A demand for more political power
was made by the American Federation
Of Labor at New Orleans, and to obtain
it a plan of campaign has been ar
ranged that provides for the appoint
ment of committees by every national
and international, union city central
body and local union in the United
States to agitate in favor of the initia-
tive and referendum and the peoples
veto.
The movement was backed by the
strongest men in the convention, and
one Of them, James Duncan, first vice.
president, was the author Of resolutions
that when their intention is carried
out will construct the greatest and
most effective organization that is
working for the change.
The proposition means that nearly
5000 labor committees scattered in
all parts Of the land will persistently
advocate the initiative and referendum
under the direction of the American
Federation Of Labor. They will also.

Voters Need Increased Power.
The resolutions state that the fedora.
ton has for ten years declared the
need for an increase Of power Of voters,
to be attained by the initiative and ref
erandum. and that it is now necessary
to construct the machinery to effect
ually gain thtt end. They then con.
tinue:
Resolved that the twenty-seoond
annual convention Of the American
Federation Of Labor aff1rms the de-
mand for more political power in

large, and to this end demands a

initiative by not to exceed per 6ent.
of the voters.
Resolved, That the questioning of
the legislative candidates as praot1ced
by the state branches of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor with great
success in Massachusetts, Missouri,
Illinois, California and other states
is herewith recommended; and
Resolved, That in order to unity
the teton for the securing of a peo-
ple's veto and a direct initiative in
national affairs the legislative or spec
tally appointed committees of the
several bodies in the American Feder-
alton of Labor, including the central
and local unions, shall constitute
committees to cooperate with the
Executive Council In securing and
using the direct initiative and the
peoples veto.
Victory Not Far Away.
Partisan politics have been gradually
eliminated from the conventions of
the American Federation Of Labor.
The names Of political parties are
rarely heard. In fact they are by com.
mon consent avoided by delegates.
