c0MPERs QUETs EVERY
FACTION IN MILL CITY
All Differences Between Labor
Chiefs Amicably Settled by
Gompers.
Little Napoleon of Labor Move
ment Sends Green Eyed Mons
ter to Route.

Minneapolis, Minn., June Livery
thing was set aside in labor circles last
week, and all Joined in an endeavor to
make the stay of Samuel Gompers in
Minneapolis memorabl. The efforts in
this direction were not confined to the
labor unions, for the various business
mems associations and fraternal organ
izations fairly outdid themselves in
their hospitality. That Mr.. Gompers
made favorable impression upon all
with whom he came in contact, there is
little doubt
All connected with organized labor
are proud of the showing made at the
Auditorium last Tuesday night, when
nearly 5000 gathered to hear the ack-
nowledeed leader of the labor move
ment o nthe American continent. Fav-
orable comment is heard on all sides
in labor circles when President Com
pers' speech is referred to, and it is be-
to show labor organizations up in their
true light.
A considerable portion of Wednes-
day and Thursday were given up to
hearing the evidence of those for and
against the removal Of the boycott
placed upon the product of a local mil
ling company shortly after the strike
In August, 1903. Feeling between the
different factions has been intense foS
long time. If nothing else is accom-
plished it is safe to say that Gompers'
coming has served in a measure to dis
sipate much Of the bad feeling which
existed, and the prediction is freely
made that, whate the decision Of the
executive council. the factions here will
be found united in carrying out the
decree. Not hint has been dropped by
Mr.. Gompers as to what may be expect
ed regarding the boycott. and those who
know him best believe he will carefully
review all the evidence placed before
him, and present the same to the ex-
ecutive board of the A. F. of L. with
for decision which will leave no room
for doubt as to what is meant.
Mr.. Gompers was the guest of the
local cigarmakers' union at Union Tenn
pie Thursday. He was the first vice.
president Of the international union,
and has carried his card" for over
forty-one years. having become affil-
lated with the union when but IA. He
has been intimately. connected With the
organization since it's inception, and
has been personally acquainted with it's
officers from the first. In his talk to
the cigarmakers last night, Mr.. Com
pers revied the history Of the interna-
tional in an interesting manner, pay
ing glowing tribute to the first presi-
dent of the reorganized union, Adolph
Strasser, and to the present head of the
international, George Perkins.
A committee from the St. Paul lodge
Of Elks vas present, and at the conclu-
sion Of his address Mr.. Gompers, after
shaking hands with the members of the
local went 10 st. Paul where he was the
guest of the honored boys. He left
on the Friday morning train for Omaha
where he went to perform similar duties
for the Federation to those done while
in Minneapolis.

8 HOUR BILL IS VETOED
BY MAYOR Of NEW YORK
Mayor Mcclellan Strikes Blow
Against Labor BY Bitter
Message.
Gets Unusually Economical When
it Comes to Adjusting
Wages for Labor.

New York. June 1.-Although 100000
has been appropriated by the admisin-
tration for more pay and new jobs for
the higher salaried employees, Mayor
Mcclellan yesterday vetoed the legis-
lative bill providing for an eight-hour
rad, extra pa yfor overtime and an in
crease of twenty cents day in the
wages Of the street sweepers, drivers
and dumpboardmen. These men now
receive $50 month, work ten hours or
more a day and are on duty seven days
Of each week.
For five successive years labor or
ganizations have had this bill intro
duced at Albany, and each year until
this it has met with defeat. On ac-
count of the fight which has been wag-
ing between some city contractors and
their employees over the observance OF
the eigh-hour law. labor men looked
to the mayor to exert moral influence
IN favor of the law, by approving the
measure which extended the eight-hour
provision to the city's own toilers.
Severe Blow to IabOr's Cause.
The mayors action is viewed by union
leaders as a severe blow to the cause Of
short hours and liberal compensation
for manual workers. 1t is said, how
ever, that pressure too strong to be re-
sisted was brought to bear against the
bill by large employers Of labor.
In his official veto memorandum. the
mayor inveighs bitterly against those
who expect advantage from any action
on this BILL He says:
sary to convince any one Of the I'M
practica bilty Of this bill and the utter
ircincereity of the legislature which
sends 1t to me. To the statesman
ship which has so misjudged me and
which expects advantage from my ac-
tion on this bill, my rejection OF the
measure will no doubt be a requital
for it's surrender to such chiccanery.
Again we have an instance Of will
lingness Of the legislature to distribute
the city's money and regulate it's ad-
ministration without the consent of the
people who have to pay the expense.
Again we have proof of the readiness
of the legislature to thurst on the city
laws against which it protests, while
denying or neglecting to give to it leg
islation which it needs.
Tells Evils of Legislation.
''One Of the evils of this kind Of Leg
islation is that It fosters di4Gnntentsin
The: city departments. makes the in-
experienced believe that there Is hope
for a new bounty with each session of
the legislature. furnishes occasion too
often for the stealthy collection Of
money to nav the promoters of such
legislation. and makes impossible the
hearty cooperation Of all the city en-
ployes in increasing the efficiency OF
the service.
'Furthermore," says the mayor, "tc
carry out it's provisions, the city would
have to incur an expense Of more than
100000 year."
There are approximately 5000 men In
the classes mentioned by this act. The
increased pay provided therein is $6(
a year each, or 100000 for the entire
number.

troll over their public servants as the
over the Oregon plan is an improve
ment on the other: The people of Ore
gon do not attempt to make laws in
an emotional or unwieldy mass meet
ing. They secure the rigth to vote
upon any measure by petition. Then
they may discuss it in their clubs and
homes and read about it in their pa
pers and go to the polls and vote with
delfberation.
The phenominal progress of this prin-
ciple of direct legislation by the ini-
tiative and referendum is the most
hopeful sign Of the times.

WELL. PAID LABOR CHEAPEST.

The Wall Street Journal is not a la
Dor or Populist paper. 1t is the chief
financial journal of the nation. and the
best edited. Summarizing the labor
question. this eminent business author
ity announces the following indisput-
able conclusion: THE American capi-
talist as a rule understands the value
of well paid, contented labor He has
discovered that well paid labor is more
profitable than cheap labor, becuse
will paid labor will produce more per
dollar Of wages than poorly paid" The
American trades union is largely re-
sponsible for well paid labor as well as
the high standard of efficiency and pro-
ductive capacity.

MAY BE. TWO
REPUBLICAN,
CAUCUSES

Madison, Jan. 3.
There may be two republican legis-
iatlve caucuses next week.
Senator q. P. Beach of Jefferson
county has written letters to members
OF the legislature calling a republican
legislative caucus to meet in the sen.
ate chamber next Tuesday. He was
chairman of the old caucus committee
of the Legislature of two years ago.
Chairman w. D.. Conner understands
that he is to call the caucus and has
said that he would do so shortly. II
the opponents of the =, administration
insist upon the right of Senator Beach
to call the caucus there is some posi-
bIllty that two caucuses will be hel0
as the administration senators will as.
suredly follow the call of the party
chairman.
