SENT TO UNIONS
REFERRED BY LOCAL ASSEMBLY
AFTER A LIVELY SESSION.
The Assembly Is Installed by Organizer
G. f. Ceilly Under Its New Ameri-
can Federation Charter-Single
Takers Speaker to Address Labor
Organizations.

There was not dull moment dur
ing Wednesday evenings session of
the local Trades assembly. Interest
centered in the proposed amendments
to the constitution of the State
Federation of Labor, which had
been made a special order of
business. The socialists were out
in force. and so were the opponents
of the measures. After lively dis
cussion the matter was disposed of by
the assembly deciding not to vote upon
the proposed changes upon the ground
that the delegates to the central body
would nave an opportunity to vote
upon the amendments in their own
unions, and that it would not be right
that delegates have the privilege of
voting twice upon the questions. Much
disappointment was expressed by
friends Of the amendments at the out
come. The vote was decidedly close
standing "a to 80.
Organizer Charles F. Ceilley was
present and installed the officers of the
assembly and administered the charge
to the delegates in behalf Of the Amer
lean Federation. After the installa-
ton ceremony Mr.. Ceilley made a
number Of recommendations, among
which it was pointed out that the in
come Of the assembly is not adequate
and should be increased in order that
work necessary to be performed
should not be delayed on account of
lack of funds. Mr.. Ceilley informed
the assembly that he had made a re-
quest of the Federal Labor union for
a list of its members, together with
the occupation and claim to member

THE CIGARMAKERS
The Local and International Unions
Are Prosperous.

IaAC IOSDCEOuS.
Cigarmakers' union, No. II, of Min
neapolis, is one of the progressive
unions of the northwest, and the
members may we'll feel proud of the
success of the organization. It is a
well-known fact that no other organ
ization has accomplished more for the
general welfare of the union label
movement in this city. The member
ship is now 800, all of whom are
employed on high-grade goods. The
International union is in fine shape
and is stronger to-day than ever, nu-
merically and financially. William E.
Stacy, president of No. IT., has this
to say about the international organ
iZation:
":The cigarmakers' union was one
of the five national unions that wealth
cred the storms Of 1S73-1S79, tho bad
ly crippled. With the era of pros
perity which spread over the country
shortly after, the union took on new
life, and in a short time had gained a
large additional m ssh bership. One of
the most important steps was the
adoption of the blue label now SO
we'll known to smokers, and this little
emblem has done much for the union
The panic of 1873 taught the officers
of the parent body and the member
ship in general the lesson that in
order to exist in hard times their
funds must be husbanded in times of
plenty. and this is now the policy.
In 1896 and 1897, 100000 was paid
out in benefits, and that the money
was well spent the following figures
will show: Total number of members
in good standing on Jan. 1, 1898, 27-
900; number in good standing Jan 1 !,
1908 $4,000, while the estimated
mem bership on Dec. /, 1908, was ST.
900. The Cigarmakers' union is un-
alterably opposed to the open shop.
The discussion Of politics or religion
is forbidden at meetings of local
unions, and the sympathetic strike is
tabooed.''

North Dakota DEVELOPMENT.

The Great Northern Railway never
loses an opportunity to build new lines
or extensions to open up a new and
productive country. 1t has Just fin
ished the building of a sixteen-nlile
extension from Souris to Westhope,
N. D., which will be open for traffic
Dec. 81. Though less than a year
old, Westhope, the terminal of this
extension, is a thriving town of 500
inhabitants. The opening of this ex-
tension is of particular interest to the
merchants and jobbers of the twin
cities, as it opens for settlement and
development a country whose% soil is
equivalent to the Red River valley:
the lands adjacent to the new line
produced this year a million and a
half bushels of grain. Immigration
into this particular section Of North
Dakota has been exceedingly heavy.
nearly every quarter section of land
being taken up. and in carrying out
its policy of cooperation with the
merchants and farmers along it's line
the railway company has prepared
freight tariffs from it's eastern ter
minals on substantially the same ba-
sis as applies to Minot.
