specified streets.
The ordinance is one drawn at The
request, of the fire department, and is

ever, that the measure will be OBJ
posed by the street car. company.
Under the provisions of the new

is compelled to stop his car as soon as
he sees fire apparatus on the street.
If the run is being made toward his
car and On the same street. the car

engines and wagons are travelling on a
cross street over which the ear has
not YET passed. the car must not be
mover across the street until the last
apparatus has passed.
Must Stop on Crossings
More than twenty crossings, mostly
down town, are specified as points at
which the motorman shall stop his
car before crossing, no matter which
direction the car may be coming. I'm
der no conditions shall a car be per-
mitted to make a stop in front of any
engine house. s5
The violation of the ordinance is
made misdemeanor, and penalty

board, submitted report on his an

Committee of Trades and La.
Dor Assembly Guarantees
Order Among Butchers

A committee of the ST. Paul Trades
and Labor assembly called on Gov.
van SAINT yesterday and gave the ex-
ecutive of the state assurances that
they would not permit disorder among
/ the South st. Paul striking meat pack
ers
John L.. Gieske, chairman of the ex-
ecutIve committee of the assembly, and
Francis L. Callan, secretary of the com
mittee, yesterday afternoon called on
the governor and held a short inter
view with him in the inner room of the
governors quarters. The conference
was not public, but later a member of
the committee said that it's purpose
was to assure the governor that the
assembly would use every effort to
prevent disorder or rioting among the
striking butchers at South ST. Paul.
The Trades and Labor assembly. as
everyone knows, at a meeting last week
Endorsed the strike said one of the
committeeman, land organized labor of
81. Paul is therefore under some re-
sponsibility to see that no overt acts
are committed by the men on strike.
We promised the governor to use our
good offices with the men to see that
order is maintained at South ST. Paul.
TO the end that there will be no need to
call out the militia. We also gave him
message from the assembly that or
canned labor is much pleased with
ms stand taken early in the strike
Meat Cutters Affected
The only st. Paul union which is
likely to be affected by a sympathetic
strike because of the trouble between
the packing houses and their men is
the local union of meat cutters.
Labor men say that practically every
meat cutter in st. Paul butcher shops
is a member of this union, and that
they are using their best endeayors
TO secure an agreement with their en-
ployers not to handle the packing
mouse meats. The Independent pack
ing houses and some of the larger st.
Paui butchers are said to be in SYM
pathy with the meat cutters in their
position, and the butchers who do their
own slaughtering have made overtures
TO the smaller butchers looking to an
agreement to cease business connec-
lions with the big packing plants COM
monty reputed to be in the meat COM
bine.
A labor leader said yesterday that
the smaller packers and st. Paul
butchers who have slaughtering plants
OF their own have united with the meat
cutters to make common war on the
big packing plants and that there is
no danger of a meat famine in St Paul
though the supply from the South st.
Paul combine packing plants should
be totally cut off
Northern. Minnesota towns, remote
from fresh beef supply, will suffer,
however, should the packers be unable
to operate their plants with anything
like full force

respondent who sent them to the

Every man sees what is hard in his
OWL life and what is easy in the life
of everyone else. This is the reason
why there is so much discomfort
among the human race. The farmer
hauling fodder to his cattle through
the mud and slush of thawed field
in winter thinks of the lawyer sitting
beside warm fire in his Office with
his books and clients, and straightway
wishes he was a lawyer; or he thinks
of the merchant handing ont his goods
on one side of the counter and taking
in his profits on the other, and then
he wishes he was merchant: or he
sees the doctor riding by at fifty cents
or dollar for every mile. and then he
wishes he was a doctor Or blackleg
breaks out among his calves, the grub
kills his sheep, the cholera Stays his
hogs or his corn withers in the drouth
or his wheat rusts in the rain. and he
reviles the fate that made him farm

to live over he would be something
else-just anything but a farmer.
Now the farmer is not the only
man who INDUCES in these grum-
blings. The farmer does not often
wish he was somebody else than some
body else wishes he was a farmer.
The lawyer harassed in his Office by
troublesome cases and fought all day
long by opposing counsel, with the
smell of musty law books and foul
court rooms continually in his nos
trils, envies the farmer whistling as
he follows his plow and team with the
scent of bloom borne to him on every
