tried to ride home on, but he was
caught at the plate by a splendid re-

fellow walked, but went to sleeD at

Naturally Carter had to take the

Springfield lit on his benderinos three
times for fair and captured the game.
Added to these smashes were an error
by Brown and a bad throw to the

ly received by the state department Of
labor show that only three foreign
countries have as many organized work
ing people as New York state and in
proportion to population New York
leads even these. Members of labor
unions in Great Britain and Ireland
number 1,902,30S; in Germany 1,27s.-

100000.
The ratio is one to each eighteen in
habitants in New York. one to twenty
two in Great Britain, one to twenty
four in Germany, one to ffty-three in
France. 1T is significant fact" says
the department, that the hours Of
labor are short or long in almost the
precise ratio of the degree of organ

The departments quarterly bulletin
states that ''in the last quarter Of 1904
the Improvement in industrial activity
which began in the summer became
so pronounced that the percentage of
idleness was smaller than in 1903 or
even 1902. Among approximately 100,-
600 wage earners in the various in
dustries in the state, only 1OS in each

DULUTH CITIZENS Are ASKED TO
COOPERATE With CENSUS BUREAU
Supervisor Haven Appeals to All
Societies, Churches and Cor
porations to Unite With Him to
Secure an Honest, Careful and
Correct Enumeration.

X. ID. Haven, supervisor OF the st.
Louis county division OF the state
census bureau in a letter to the ed
itor OF the Labor World makes a
timely appeal for the support Of the
citizens OF Duluth, and particularly
the members OF organized labor for
their support and cooperation in the
matter OF securing a complete census
report OF this county.
The time is so short that strenu-
GUS efforts must be applied to have
the work completed within the spe-
cited time. Mr.. Haven will be sur
rounded by an able corps OF assist
ants, but this will not be sufficient
unless support is given by the citizens.
Civic pride ought to prompt every
patriotic citizen in the city to give
the census enumerators the fullest
information they possess about all
matters upon which information is
desired. We want careful and cor
rect count for this city. All of us
ought to appreciate that there is an
immense amount OF work involved to
secure a correct enumeration, and
satisfactory results cannot be obtain
ed without assistance from every
available source.
The matter of taking the census
is very important. Our representa-
tion in congress and in the state law
making bodies depend upon the re-
suits OF enumerations. The statistics
gained are for information to the
public at large, but statements made
by individuals are not for publicity,
and every citizen should remember
that the utmost secrecy surrounds
every answer to the enumeratOrS.
The information asked for by the
census bureau is not for private pur-
poses. This fact ought to make ev-
cry citizen willing and ready to ans
census bureau.
The several unions in the city are
urged to do every thing in their pow
er to assist Mr.. Haven in his i'm
portant work. Lists of the members
should be furnished him so that he
may carefully check every name, and
thus ascertain whether or not any
have been missed. These lists with
the addresses OF the members are
wanted simply for checking purposes.
The pastors In the many churches
of the city are urged to furnish the
bureau with complet9 list of their
members. Fraternal societies should
do likewise. In fact every society
that makes any claim for patriotism
should heartily Join IN this work.
1t would be good thing ii the
Board Of Education would give Mr..
Haven list OF the parents and guard
ians OF the pupils in the public
schools of our city. They have these
names on record, and they would ma
terla!ly aid the Bureau in it's tedious
work.
Employers of labor should fall in
to line and furnish a complete list OF
their employees. 1t can be readily
seen that II all OF us do our duty in
this matter that tke work OF the

COLORADO LAW MAKERS
PROHIBIT BOYCOT7|NG
Arouses Indignation Among Per-
secuted Union Labor Men
of That State.
Denver Labor Paper Says Labor
Will Not Obey This Most
Insolent Law.

Denver, Colo. May 1s.-As might be
expected the passage Of the anti-boy-
colt bill by the Colorado Legislature,
which was signed few days ago by
Gov. Mcdonald and is now law, has
aroused Indignation all over the state
among union people. The law is copied
after the Alabama measure and pro-
vides fine and Imprisonment for any
person convicted of boycotting an un-
fair concern. 1t is a typical capitalist
is weapon, and the unionists claim if
the law is enforced they will go out
Of business, but they say they will de-
fy the law. The Clarion Advocate, Of
ficial paper of the union in Denver,
says: 80, gentlemen of the police,
Of the press. of the courts, and the
Legislature. hear once for ALL You
sneaked your cowardly, lying measure
through a coarse and indecent mob,
and we propose to do business at the
old stand in the same old way We
will not obey your insolent law. Now
if this be treason, make the most Of
it."

State Labor Movement is Called
Upon to Take Steps for Future
Guidance in the Matter Of
Choosing Candidates for the
State Legislature.

labor movement by the attendance
and enthusiasm OF our state conven-
tions.
They will be guided in their future
movements against organized labor
in this state by what is done at our
next convention. 1t is our belief that
the labor movement OF Minnesota is
In a stronger and more healthy con-
dition today than it ever was before.
Our opponents should be made aware
OF this fact, and the only way it can
be done is by a large attendance at
the convention.
The terrible "knifing' given to
organized labor by the last state leg
islature, when 1t defeated every i'm
portant measure in the interest of
labor that was presented to that i'm
portant body ,ought to prompt the
unions OF this city to get busy.
One OF the most important ques-
tions to come before the meeting will
be the attitude of organized labor in
future legislative demands. With
the assembling OF the strongest and
most able men in the labor move
ment IN state conference there will
something come out of it that will
make our position in legislative poll
tics more secure in the future.
Organized labor will continue to
get shabby treatment from law MAX
ers just SO long as it sits supinely by
and shows a disposition to take re-
peated rebukes submissively.
Some OF the trade unions OF this
city have met during the week, and
because they could not see where
they were going to be Immediately
and directly benefited by sending a
delegate to the convention they voted
to pass the convention up. Would
it not be the proper thing to ask
yourselves this question: How much
good can we do to others by attend
ance at the convention, rather than
by asking what good we get out OF
it ourselves?
The Labor World appeals to the
local pride of the Duluth trade un-
ions. At New Ulm it was voted to
bring the convention to Northern
Minnesota in order that unions in
this neighborhood should have an
opportunity to be we'll represented.
1t is now up to the Duluth unions to
deliver the goods that we're promis-
cd by their representatives in the
last convention.
Unless speedy action is taken Du-
luth will have a smaller delegation
ut Brainerd than it had: at New Ulm.
This will never do. The union men
from Brainerd expect a good deal
from their fellows in Duluth. They
have all along banked on the sup
port and cooperation of the Duluth
unions, and it is sincerely hoped that
they will not be disappointed.
We ask every union that meets
this week to chose delegates to the
convention. 1t will cost no union
more than $40 for a delegate. Is
there not some worthy member in
every union who has earned trip
OF this kind. BE charitable brothers,
and do some thing for others as we'll
as for yourselves. Send full rep
resentation to Brainerd.
