Another communication from the
American Trades assembly, of Milwau-
kee, asked that a committee be ap-
painted to draft resolutions protesting
against the stand taken by Senator
Quarles, as member of law firm in
advising against arbitration of the
strike now on in that city among the
tanneries. There is but one tannery in
Milwaukee that will not recognize the
right Of its employees to unionize. It
Is the Pfster & Vogel institution. The
tanners have made arrangements with
eight other tanneries, and they are now
all in operation. "A committee was ap-
pointed to draft the resolutions.
Nominations for assembly officers
were made. The election will be held
at the next meeting and the new Of
f1cers will. be indicted into Office at
that time.

casion. It was proposed that instead OF
the usual program something along
the lines Of a street fair be held; that
booths be erected wherein might be
displayed different union made goods
and that those who handle the various
| lines might be given an opportunity tc
| thus advertise them. The object of this
is to keep the people in town on that
day and provide entertainment for all

sembly that on Labor Day that
body shall not indulge in the sale Of
intoxicants.
The committee appointed for this
program will make a report at the next
meeting.

Meat Cutters Will Spend Sunday at
Fon du Lac in Annual Picnic.
There will be a good old time to-mor-
row at the Butchers picnic at Fond du
Lac. There will be races for old and
young; there will be a. red bod base
ball game between the picked men In
the union and the men from the pack
ing houses.
There is no more beautiful spot in
Northern Minnesota than at Fond du
Lac. This is the most historic spot, in
this vicinity. 1t was there where a
great: battle was fought between the
Souix and Chippewa Indians years ago.
It was there where John Jacob Astor
established a trading post, the first
habitation of a white man at the head
Of the lakes. 1t was there where the
early Jesuit Fathers rested after their
long journey up 1.-THE Big Sea Water
fully two hundred and fifty years ago.
While the game and fish are not SO
plentiful to-day as they were in the
early days. yet there are considerable
there yet. Only last week one party
caught 80 pounds of the finest pike in
four hours.
Sunday may be we'll spent at Fond
! du Lac. Trains leave the Union depot
on schedule time, and the fare is but
Is cents for the round trip. Many. pic
nickers will no doubt take: advantage
lot this opportunity to have a short and
pleasant outing offered by the Butch
rers' Union. -. =, ~;

ENGLISH WORKERS

HAD ALL THEY WANTED OF A
HIGH PROTECTIVE TARIFF.
BUT POVERTY
WAS FRIGHTFUL
Story Of Conditions in England When
.Thore Was Duty on Imported
Goods-Late Labor News.

LONDON, July 16.--Many people In
England fail to remember, even if they
ever knew, that England once had pro-
lection for Industries and landlords.
That was something over sixty years
ago. In 1869 statistics show that H.
1877 900 persons were in receipt of re-
lief In England and Wales alone: in
1910 the pauper roll contained 100000,
In 1871, 100000, and in 1912 1,429,0O0
persons. The population Of England
and Wales amounted at that time to
about 100000, so that one person out
Of every eleven in the country was a
pauper. The poor, moreover, lived I'M
der conditions which would have made
life with high wages horrible, say the
advocates Of free trade, who are doing
their utmost to site any protection"
sentiment, and which made life with
low wages intolerab1e. Collected in
the vest manufacturing towns, they
were crowded in courts and alleys;
they swarmed in cellars which were
neither ventilated nor drained.
Working Glass Dwellings.
It was stated in 1887 by the statis-
teal society of Manchester, that one
tenth Of the population Of Manchester
and one-seventh Of the population OF
Liverpool, lived in cellars. Horrible as
these figures seem there is reason to
believe that the facts were understated.
In the report on the condition Of the
handloom. weavers, 1t was stated that
$4,000 persons in Liverpool depended
on labor; 86,400 Of them lived in courts,
and $4,000 in cellars. Yet Liverpool
was added far better off than Glasgow.
I'm the very center Of Glasgow"
wrote and authority, there is an &C.
cumulated mass of squalid wretchness
which is probably unequalled in any
other town in the British dominions.
There Is concentrated everything that
is wretched, dissolute. loathsome, and
pestllential. These places are filled by
population Of many thousands Of
miserable creatures. The houses In
which they live are unfit even for sites.
In many there is scarcely any
ventiation; dung hills lie in the vicin-
ity Of the dwelling: and from the ex-
tremely defective sewerages, filth Of
every kind constantly accunulates."
Overcrowding was not confined to
the town poor. In many rural dis
tricts the landlords, heightened by the
increase of the poor rates, refuse to
build new houses and even pulled
down their old cottages. The poor
consequently swarmed in the remain
ing tenements in manner which is
difficult to realize. In one parish, in
Dorsetshire, thirty-six persons dwelt
on an average in each house. It was
not uncommon for occupants of ad-
jacent houses to place all the males in
one cottage and all the females In an
other. In another parrish g. father,
mother, a married daughter and a hus-
band, a baby, blind boy Of 16, and
two girls all occupied one room.

MAKING HUSBANDS USEFUL.
Hints for Girls About to Marry and
Those Already Wed.

In the first place, don't let your hus-
band become fixed in the notion that
his activities properly begin and end
with bread-winning for the family,
while it is his privilege to grumble
at the food, smoke in the best parlor
and play billiards at the club or some
worse place Let him realize at the
star, that fair division of labor calls
for deal more from him than the CON
duct of his business or the mere earn
Ing of salary.
There are many things that a hus-
band may be trained TO do with care
and kindness Everybody knows that
the wife makes the home. But as a
wifes duties at home consist in doing
about three times as much work rs a
husband does in q day, 1t follows that
It is much easier for a husband than
fof wife to be happy. The best way
to make wife happy is to take some
of the work off her hands.
A husband may be useful in three
departments shopping, household
work. and garden work. The house

tuition, and some supervision, a man
may he trusted to clean and paint
windows, take up and beat carpets, re-
fill coal scuttles, clean bicycles, oil
locks and doors, clean fire-irons, wash
olcloth, scrub stairs and do other
work that requires a pair of strong
arms and some muscle.
With little judicious flattery hus-
band takes kindly to the office Of
nursemaid and enables the busy wife
to make cakes and clean up the kitch-
en-. Induce him to make the children
a dolls house or the baby a chair and
table. You know that he is clever
enough to do anything like that, and
you have only to tell him so to start
him on the job If you put the children
mp to it, his fatherly heart will respond
at once.
With his chickens and eggs YOUR
husbands spare time will be well TAX
en- up. II it isn't he can train the ivy
up the wall, or sow mustard and cress,
and carrots and turnips. The expenses
will come out of his own pocket
money, these things not being an alb
solute necessity, as you will point out.
II he won't give you the new-laid eggs,
buy them from him at a cent apiece
and grumble IL they are not very big
