HENCHMEN OF
RAILROADS TO
PACK MEETING

CHICAGO Oct. 25.-Police may be
necessary to prevent a clash between
the two factions of delegates to the in
terstate commerce law convention,
which will begin two days session
In Steinway hall at 10 o'clock tomor-
row morning.
Officers of the organization assert
that the railways have brought hun
dred delegates to Chicago from all
parts Of the country for the purpose Of
packing the hall and preventing an
plan of governmental regulation of
freight rates by increasing the power
of the interstate commission.
The executive committee of the inter-
state commerce and law association
met this afternoon to arrange1he pre-
liminar1es for the meeting to be held
tomorrow. After much debate it was
decided that it would be unfair to BUSH
ness interests Of the country, who are
unaware of the attempt which will be
made to pack the convention, to allow
any delegates to participate In con-
vention with the purpose of which they
are manifestly at variance.
Therefore it was decided to have
blanks prepared by the secretary COL
lecting an extract from the presidents
subject to be discussed and considered
at the convention.
About 200 delegates had arrived In
the city this evening and both factions
opened headquarters in the Auditorium
hotel. Feeling ran high and both
sides were outspoken in their deter
mination to control the convention to-
morrow. A warm time in Steinway
hall is expected ..

Considerable Amount Of City
Work Delayed Because o.,
Continued Fall Rains.
Expected That. Large Amount
Of City Work Will be Under
Way by Next Spring.

The continued rains of last week
rather put damper on the fall public
improvements on the Heights. The
city crew had been to. work cleaning
out the bitches and building a road
way up Haven street, and before the
work was completed steady rain OF
one weeks duration set In.
1t Is expected that the Board of
Public Works will send to the Heights
sufficient number of planks to
build a side walk from Orange to
Palm streets, and an additional num-
Der for the repairing Of street crossing
and the building of a bridge at the
creek near Palmetto and Ebony
streets.
The scarcity of funds has rather
handicapped the city this fall in the
performing Of public improvements
for the Heights. but by next spring it
is expected that goodly amount of

WILLIAMS STRONG ON
CHILD LABOR QUESTION
State Labor Commissioner
Comes to Duluth to Get Busy
on 1nfantile Industry.
Pays Compliment to Prof. Den
field Who Has Given Mate
rial Assistance to Bureau.

Labor Commissioner Williams is a
visitor in the city this week. He came
here for the purpose Of pushing
the campaign against child labor. He
is being supported in this by the
union men Of the state, and by good
many Of the sociological organiza-
tons.
Mr.. Williams visited Prof. Denfeld
OF the public schools and plans were
made for a stricter enforcement of
the child labor laws in this locality.
In speaking Of labor conditions in
general MIR. Williams stated:
Il am here principally on matters
relating to chill labor" he said, "and
while am watching the strike Of the
printers with interest, and am a.
union printer myself, am not taking
any hand in the proposition, and shall
not unless am asked to-. The strike
is a matter that, It would appear,
should be settled between the In
ternational Typographical union and
the National Typothetae.'
Mr.: Williams says that he would
willingly assist in arbitrating the
strike of the printers II he were asked
to.
ITO enforce the law Of the state in
regard to child labor is one Of my
duties in which am deeply inter-
ested." He added, "children should
be kept in school during their tender
years, and beside the number Of acct
dents in factories is lessened when
children are kept out of them. It is
against the principles Of organized
labor to countenance child labor.
Il find that the employers of labor
in Duluth and vicinity are living quite
zealously UP to the law. We have to
work In this matter in conjunction
with the city superintendent Of
schools. R. E. Denfeld of Duluth,
has assisted us greatly. There are
fewer violations Of the child labor law
In the state than ever before, and
employers are less inclined to violate
it,"

TWICE A PIONEER.
A Michigan Settler 81 Years of Age
Goes to Texas to take up New
Homestead.

Ona recent hCmeseeker's excursion
over the Rock Island leaving Chicago
for the great Southwest was one of the
most remarkable immigration parties
chronicled for many day. 1t included
Mr.. George Battley and son Frank, from
Eaton Rapids, Mich. The senior Mr..
Battley was probably the Oldest immi-
grant that has gone into the new section
to settle for years. He is now 81 years
of age, and was one of the pioneers OF
Michigan.
Mr.. Battley, in spite of his advanced
years, is hale and hearty and as straight
as an arrow. He passed 81 years In
Michigan and it is very interesting to
hear him talk of those stirring early
times in the Badger State. He took up
a government claim at 81 25 an acre, cut
off enough timber to pay for the farm,
and saw the land grow to a value of $50
per acre. He now goes to the new west
to repeat the experience-at The age Of
81 years. His objective point was STRAIT
ford, Texas, on the Rock Island System,
and he was fully enjoying every mile Of
the journey.

Duty of a Gentleman.

On one occasion, having returned
from playing poker at the club, my
grandfather said
when a man is hard up he should
borrow; but he must devote his en-
ergies to paying back and remaining
the equal OF the man from whom he
mas borrowed. If he cannot pay back,
let him be frank about it; for it is
better to steal than to cheat"
And again:
ITO ride straight and to shoot
straight, to win money cheerfully and
to lose 1t cheerfully, never to be boor-
ishly in debt or swinishly drunk, to
enjoy flowers and music, and If pos
sible to be in love with at least one
good woman, is half the duty of gen
tleman."
