Topeka, Kan, Feb. 15.--After halr
hours debate Senator Allen got his
parole bill through the senate yester-
day morning and messaged 1t to the
house. 1t gives a district judge the
right to suspend sentence during
good behavior. An effort was made
to strike out the provision which
makes the law apply only to men un-
der rs years, but it failed. The bill
received just 81 votes, constitutional
majority,
After fight Of half an hour SEN
ator Tapp succeeded In getting the
senate, in committee of the whole, to
pass his soldiers monument bill.
Senators Noftzger and Smith cp-
posed the bill, holding that monu-
ments to the dead should not be
erected until the living ex-soldiers
who are now destitute have been
cared for. Senator Tapp replied that
he was not only In favor Of giving the
living destitute soldiers competence,
but he was also in favor Of erecting
monuments in memory Of the dead,
and he would give up his last cent
in taxes for that purpose. His speech
saved the bill, as the senate was
about ready to kill 1t.
Senator Peterson, Of Norton, intro
duced bill providing that all assist
ant state officers shall receive $1,SOO
year each and all chief clerks OF
departments $l,5OO.
The bill against "snitches" has
been adversely reported by the sen
ate judiciary committee. The bill
prohibits lawyers from soliciting
business.
Senator Aliens bill to compel the
governor to sign death warrants SO
that murderers must be hanged was
killed by the senate judiciary COM
mittee.
The senate has adopted resolution
for committee of five to revise the
calendar. This is the first evidence
that the legislature is nearing the
end.
Among other bills reported far pas
sage in the senate are these: Smiths

companies from putting the wrong

ers would be employed in the shop, says
the Northwestern Miller. The union con-
tends that it does not desire to fight labor
saving machinery, but only to regulate the
use Of it and require that non union help
shall not be employed in it's operation. A
committee from the Minneapolis trades
and labor assembly has waited upon Mr..
Cottrell regarding the matter, so that that
organization may take some cognizance
of the trouble. The controversy is indi-
rectly Of vital concern to all the Mime
apolis shops, says the Northwestern Miller
In the ecent of the machinery proving a
success in the Cottrell shop, the other bar
rel factories might be forced to introduce
it. Three of the five our barrel shops are
CO operatives and to adopt the ma chinery
would mean that the amount Of work
available to the stockholders Of these
shops, who are working coopers, would be
greatly curtailed. Hence, the idea of the
introduction of the machinery is not en-

A COLOR d. Oh QUESTION o.
What Is the Attitude Of Labor Or
CARNATIONS Toward the
Colored Man?
Local Labor Representatives Do Not
. Agree With Position Taken
by J. F. McGhee.

The Afro American council composed
of colored men of the twin cities aud or
sanized principally for the purpose of look
ing out for the interests of scolored peo-
pie, last Sunday held a meeting in ST.
Paul, at which the attitude Of trades
unions toward the "colored brother was
among the questions discussed. J.. f.
McGhee. president of the council is re-
ported to have expressed himself upon the
subject as follows:
we feel that organized labor is against
the colored man, but, on examination of
the organic law of the American Fedora
ton of Labor. find that man can be,
barred from that organization on account.
of color If organized labor does keep us
out, that Is another reason why the COL
ored man should organize to fight the
labor organizations
Mr.. McGhee called attention to the fact
that the number of cOlored persons filling
positions as elevator operators, as clerks
in stores, ETC., had been greatly reduced
in recent years. :
The labor unionists of Minneapolis take
just the opposite view of this matter
and assert that the colored man enjoys
exactly the same rights and privileges as
the white man when both stand on the
plane of unionism, which, it is maintained
knows nothing of color when considering
an applicants qualifications for member
ship.
A prominent member Of the Building
Trades Council, in commenting upon Mr.
McGhee's remarks, pointed to the fact that
among the delegates to the last Carpenters
and Jolners' convention were some twenty
colored mon, and that at the present time
the membership rolls Of some of the unions
of the building trades Of this city con-
tanned the names of several colored men,
This gentleman further stated that last
year some non-union workmen were
brought to this city to erect a building.
Among them were several colored men.
Some of the whites were induced to join
their respective unions, but no amount Of
persuasion could induce the colored work.
men to become members Of a labor organ
ization. Until recently one of the build
ing trades unions was represented in the
Trades and Labor Council by a colored
man, and all this, he argued, went to show
that trade unions treated all classes alike.
From a member Of the Elevator Opera
tors union 1t is learned that one of the
delegates at present representing that
union in the Trades and Labor Assembly
is a colored man, who is a member of the
Afro American Council, and was appointed
on a committee from that society to gather
sons employed in various occupations, and
also to endeaVOr to secure the employ
ment of colored clerks in stores in the twin
cities.
One thing is certain, no complaints have
been made by cOlOred uniOniStS as to then
treatment by labor organizations, and this
| is taken to indicate that they are well sa t.
isied with present conditions.

A LABOR BILL KILLED
That Involving Attorneys Fees In Suits
for WAGES.

That Involving Attorneys Fees In Suits
for Wages.
Labor interests will probably not soon
forget the action of the upper house of
the Minnesota .legislat ure in killing the bill
prepared by Senator H. J. Gjertsen,, which
was intended to tax PLAINTIFFS attorneys
fees, in suits to collect wages, on the de-.
PENDANT in case Judgment was rendered
against them. LabOrers are repeatedly de-
frauded Of their honest dues by unscrupu-
lous employers who escape being held to
account by the fact that attorneys fees
and court costs equal the full amount in
volved and sometimes exceed it. Labor
Commissioner Martin F. McTIale in his re-
port for 1899-1900 recommended the pas
sage of such a law as one of the most i'm
portant benefits could be conferred on the
laboring classes. Pa #
Nevertheless. the senate voted to post
pone the bill indefinitely, largely through
the attack upon it by Senator Henry "A.
Morgan Of Albert Lea, who declared that
it was bill drawn in the interest Of z..shy-
ster'' lawyers. S,@
The legislature Of Illinois passed such a
bill in 1889, however, and 1t has proved
of benefit to the laboring people. The III

flows: -s h
