Something like this did Bill Arp.
Taking the every day troubles, tolls
and vexations, the common experience
of every ordinary mortal, ne wrote
about them in such q manner as to

helped us to see the good and beautl-

of life.
Well, il we shall not again have his

Our gracious Father who gave him to
this world and helped him to be so
helpful. did not exhaust His resources
in Bill Arp. Why, DO Bills work, OF
itself, will help to bring on better

Everything around Paxville manifests

The MINNESOTA STATE
FEDERATION OF LABOR
The History, Objects Aims and achievements
Ct the Great Organization which Meets
Ere June 9Th, 9th, 10th.

On July 7 1890 the State Federation
of Labor was organized. The organ
ization was due considerably to the
efforts of Frank Valesh, at one time
state labor commissi and John
B. Swift. The growth of the Fedora
ton was veiy slow until 1895, when
the convention of the body was held
ia Duluth. A. that time there was
about 80 delegates in attendance.
Since the convention Of 1895 the
growth has been marked and at the
meeting to be held in this city it
is expected there will be something
over 400 delegates present.
Previous to 1895 the Federation
confined it's efforts principally to the
Legislature, in the way of securing
the enactment of law for the benefit
of union labor. The revenue coming
in the Federation previous to that
time was too email to ena bic them to
take up anything else. At the con-
vention held at st. CLOUD in 1898 a
per capita tax o. one cent for each
member was voted TO provide revenue

gait ,ns and was compiling a perso nal
genealogical history. On account of
friendlines. of the senate towards Mr..
Powers favorable report could not
be secured by the labor people but the
reading of the proceedings in regards
to the matter will satisfy the readers
that the Federation's point was we'll
taken. Mr.. Powers was soon after
" ards removed from the Office.
In 1902 the coz ventlon of the
Federation was held at Rochester
when this city was selected as the
next meeting place of the Fsde ration.
The following were the officers
selected at Rochester meeting:
Presidential, E. Neary. Mime

The f,llowing are extracts from
the Federations' constitution:
No organization which has seeded
from any national or International
trade union will be allowed repre-
sentation or recognition in this
Federation. It shall be the duty of
the Federation Council to pass judy
ment upon all strikes, lock outs and
other ma tiers that may be referred to
them, always having due respect for
the higher authority Of national or
international law. When strikes or
lock outs have been approved, they
may direct the Secretary to issue and
distribute to all the unions in the
State circular stating forth the facts
and calling upon them for such as
sistance as may seem wisesI and best.
The Federation Council shall hold
regular meetings and consider all
matters of interest to the Federation.
They shall be authorized to devise
ways ana means Of raising funds for
the proper carrying out of the work
of the Federation.
Federal Labor Ucions may be
established in any city or town

St. Paul and Minneapolis bnt that
year the experiment of holding the
meetings in other cities of the state
proved 30 successful that the two
larger cities will no longer have a
monopoly of Federation conventions.
Up to June 1895, at which time
semi-annual meetings were being held.
the convention had alternated tetween
St. Paul and Minneapolis. Since that
time the conventions have been = held
in the following places:
June 1895. at Dulath; Dscem-

for the work of organization. Al
the st. Cloud convention there were
but four towns represented, St. Paul,
Minneapolis, Winona and Duluth In
1895 the convention was held in
Winona when there was no organized
body of union labor in the city. At the
present time there are 81 labor unions
in the city of Winona. Since thevot-
ing Of per capita tax strong revenue
fund has been provided and unions
of different classes of labor have been
organized at Winona, Brsinerd, Man.
kato, Saltwater, Rochester,, Sand
stone. and Little Falls.
In 1891 the convention was held
in Mankato and at that time that city
could not boast of any branch of
organized labor. In Mankato there
are now Is labor unions and two GEN.
trail labor bodies, the Trade Council
and the Building and Trades Council.
When the crusade of organization was
commenced, soon after the st. Cloud
convention there were only 10000
union laborers in the state. At this
time more than IS, 900 union men are
affiliated with the state body.
The Federation has never taken ar
active part in party politics but hss
confined it's efforts to work in the
legislature and have secured the
enactment of many labor laws. Thu
Federation has not been selfish in it,
legislative work but has devoted it,
time at that work to secure the enact
ment of laws beneficial tc all classes o.
labor.
Probably the most exciting periot
in the history Of the Federation wa
in 1897, when it filed charge agains
Labor Commissioner Powers for NAL
feasance in Office. The Federation
proved oonoludvsly that Powers VA

time to come there is every reason to
expect that it will still more fully
justify it's existence.
