TRADES
MEET
State Organizer Gram De-
IiverS Address and Will
Be in City Two Days

c. H. Cram, president of the Oregon
State Federation Of Labor, addressed
the local assembly of Federated
Trades last night at Labor Union
Hall, in the Turner block, and met
with much encouragement. There
was large attendance, and nearly ev-
cry union in the city was represented.
The failure of the clerks union was
considered, and a committee appointed
to revive interest in the organization.
The clerks complained that several
stores hung out union cards, and then
refused to abide by the demands Of
the union, and the appeal of the clerks
was not enforced by the federation,
and so the clerks union was discour-
aged. The fight for union bricklayers
was also taken up, and committee
appointed. Matters of great import
ance were considered in council, and
the day was spent in comforting with
the officers of the various locals. The
general feeling shown was that both
unions and employers are on a con-
servative basis of respect and mu-
tual regard for each others interests.

convention at Chicago and to nominate

met at noon today in this city. Frank
Crane. chairman Of the state commit
tee. called the convention to order. and
introduced the temporary chairman.
The opening address criticised the
democratic state and national leaders,
and declared that IL the republicans do
their duty as they did in 1900. there
can be but one result. the triumphant
reelection of, President Roosevelt. A,
the conclusion Of the opening speeches,
committees on resolutions and perma :
nent organization We're appointed, and
recess taken to permit the committees
to draw up their reports. The reports
of the committee on resolutions will
vigorously commend ;ne whole course
of the Roosevelt administration and
strongly indorse the president for re-
nomination.
The campaign for the gubsrnatorial
nomination to be made by today's con-
vention has been one Of the most spir-
tied in the political history Of South
Dakota. The indications are that Coe
l. Crawford, the anti machine candi-
| date. has more than enough delegates
pledged for him to assure his nomina-
ton. The selection of Crawford will
break up the machine rule which has
prevailed here for six years.
