with other greens. From TINS use !"

decorated with candles and eventually

TO INSURE WAGES.
Tho Swedish Workinsmen's Union
Will Insure Members Against
Loss Of Employment.

Insurance against loss Of employment
is to be attempted by the Swedish
Workingmen's union of Minneapolis
The movement will be watched With
great interest not only by the world
of labor, but by the students of So
GEOLOGY and others, as the proposition
has always been considered by many
as impracticable. It is nothing new, Of
course, for labor unions to give aid to
members out of work but the propo-
sition in Sweden is quite different The
aim is to assure the payment of a
fixed sum per week for u period when
the insured is out of work provided it is
not due to strikes or lockouts
The central management admits that
the difficulties are great but will never
theless experiment. One of the chief
obstacles Is found in the fact that most
Of the Swedish labor organizations are
mixed, that is the members are of var
ious crafts, some Of which are en-
ployed only at certain seasons of the
year. Should the latter be cared for it
is plain that an immense fund would
be necessary.
The experiment will be tried first
with the iron and metal workers and
should the plan be found practicable
it will be extended to include factory
hands and later other industries.

A story leaked out this week which
involves Governor Van SAINT, Simon
Clark, Captain Stevens and organized
labor.
1t will be remembered that Captain
Stevens was candidate for surveyor
general of logs. He was Governor Van
SAINTS favorite for the job. In fact, it is
asserted that the governor promised
the job to Stevens. When the time ap
preached for the appoint ment a num-
Der of other candidates appeared. In
spite Of this the governor again as
sured Captain Stevens that he would
be appointed.
They had a walk together in St. Paul
the day before the appointment was
made and after they parted the captain
met some Duluth opponents at the
Windsor and joked with them abou,
his success.
The next day Simon Clark was ap-
pointed. Many stories have been cir
culated as to how he received the ap-
pointment, but the governors own
statement ought to quiet all reports.
1t seems that after the governor and
Captain Stevens parted after their
walk, the former returned to the execu
tive chamber, and in looking over his
mail he found protest against the ap-
pointment Of Captain Stevens from
members of marine labor organizations
at Duluth, on account Of the repeated
opposition of Stevens to the ors.nlza-
lions of the tugmen.
Now, Governor Van SAINT, who has
always been friendly to union labor,
had no desire to oppose it at this stage.
and so he Immediately decided to pass
Captain Stevens up, and Simon Clark
was appointed, ostensibly as a COM
promise candidate.

sang the incarnation as they lowered

resonant with joy. From the hour that

anniversary of this natal day a season

joy.
Wreathe the laurel, twine the bay,

There were special reasons for these
heavenly songs being sung by the ce-

heavenly empire, joy that is yet to be

ing so as to be in prime condition for
the game on Saturday. They are Zig

was full of rumors that were anything
but favorable TO Almas prospects. The
betting was all one-sided and even the
college people were not optimistic about
the outlook.
But when two o'clock came, and the
official blew his whistle for the kickoff
it did not take long for the supporters of
the home team to see that there was
still hope for Alma, and that hope grew
into a settled conviction that we would
win, and " did win Three of the old

Punting was the great feature Of the
game. Alma punted eight times and
Olivet ten times. Alma made good
gains through Olivet's line. Mcbride,

not once make their distance in three
