SECOND DAY.

BRAINERD, Mimi, June 13.-Rou-
tine business marked the second day
of the annual meeting Of the State
Federation Of Labor here. The morn
ing was spent in listening to reports
and before recess was taken the dele
gates were addressed by State Labor
Commissioner w. H. Williams, Of Min
neapolis.
SecretaryTreasurer McEwen scored a
decided hit at the afternoon session of
the federation when he answered Dele
gate Morgan's attack .on Samuel Com
pers. The Minneapolis delegate wanted
the names Of other leaders inserted in
the resolution pralsing Gompers and
harshly criticized that labor leader. Sec
rotary McEwen answered in an impas-
stoned speech in which he declared Com
pers the labor Napoleon and deserving
of the support Of the federation. The
hearty applause following Mr.. McEwen's
speech and the large vote cast for the
resolution showed plainly that the fed
GRAFTON was in favor Of Mr.. McEwen' 3
attitude.
Introduced by President Dix, Labor
Commissioner Williams said in part:
Il believe the union man should go
into politics, at least as much as the
merchants. He ought not to vote for
a man because he is a Republican or
Democrat, without inquiring a little
further into his record. Has he ever
done anything to entitle him to con-
sideration from labor? Has he been
fair or has he been a dodger? Has
he told the working man the truth al.
ways? BY the truth. don't mean,
Has he always 1attered the union
man? I mean just the opposite. Has
he been big enough to stand a little
temporary unpopularity for saying
things that hurt, when he might have

little thinking or detective work on
candidates for office. The world IL

STEALING WHOLE COUNTIES AT
A TIME.

When one hears of the Pacific
coast land gratis that are being ex-
posed, and when we stop to compare
the enormous holdings of a few
grabbing landlords with the cramped
quarters of millions of workers who
are compelled to live from hand to
mouth the hideous inequalities of the
system are all too startling. For in
stance, it is shown that one Henry
Miller, who has never been heard of
in this part of the country. claims

MENELIK, KING OF KINGS

The weird suggesttveness of an en-
bassy from the modern civilization of
America to the court of the Queen OF
Sheba makes dramatic the story Of Mr..
Robert p. Skinner, who headed the
mission. He writes, in the Worlds
Work:
We mounted our mules at o'clock
and moved slowly in the direction of
Adds Tbaba. Soon we discerned in the
distance an entire division Of troops
coming toward us. When the two
forces met the Dedjazmathc, or gen.
eral in command of the Abyssinians,
dismounted. Introductions followed.
The escorting troops then wheeled and
moved On in advance. Their numbers
increased so rapidly as we approached
the city that we were finally preceded
by 5000 men.
Surrounding their chiefs the warriors
marched in most extraordinary confu-
sion, sometimes walking their horses
and sometimes galloping. 1t was a
beautiful spectacle. No two costumes
were alike. Saddles and brides were
decorated with gold and silver fringe.
Bucklers Of FURNISHED gold were car
ried by the soldiers and from their
shoulders flew nantes of leopard and
lion skins, of silk, satin and velvet.
They were picked men riding well,
their "chammas' flowing in the wind.
Only the bright rifle barrels marked
the difference between these Philippians
and the army Of their forbears who
followed the queen Of Sheba when she
went down into Judea. We were
spellbound by the moving mass of oclor,
across which foated the weird music
Of band Of shawn players-playing
as they had played when Jericho fell.
With the probable emotion of the Yam
kee at the court of King Arthur we
approached the throne Of the king If
kings.

Now that the warm weather is at
hand the toiler should keep as even
tempered as possible for the reason
that being irritable only increases
the bodily temperature and makes
the natural heat harder to bear.
Keep in a good humor, don't worry
over your work, eat sparingly and
avoid alcoholic drinks and you will
get along all right.

One mans meat is another mans
poison; therefore there can be no
iron-clad rules laid down for the
management of organized labor any
more than there can for any other
class of human endeavor. Different
conditions cause different effects, and
the only solution is the application
of Justice and common sense.
The labor world. [volume] (Duluth, Minn.) 1896-current, 1905-06-17

Knowing, as we must know, that
the only thing that stands between
organized labor and complete victory
for our cause is cheerful cooperation
in the various agencies for advancing
the interests of unionism, we should
never hesitate to lend our help and
influence anywhere it may be needed.

SECRETARY HAY Is
BACK FROM EUROPE
AN IMPORTANT MESSAGE FROM
PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT is DE-
LIvERED TO HIM ON HIS AR.
RIVAL.

New York. June 15-Secretary of State
John Hay arrived from Europe tonight
on the steamer Baltic much improved In
health but plainly showing that he was
far from being a well man. His presence
in this country evidently was anxiousy
expected by President Roosevelt for an
imposing and long document was handed
to him at quarantine by special mes
senger from the White House who went
down the bay on the revnue cutter to
deliver it to Mr.. Hay in person. Inc
contents of this message Secretary Hay
refused to divulge.
Secretary Hay was informed by the
newspaper men that the ENJOYS in Rus
sia-Japanese peace negotiations were to
meet in Washington. 1t was the first in
formation he had received as to the out
come of the Presidents efforts.
The Secretary said he would not be
able to tell until tomorrow when he
would go to Washington indicating that
the letter he had received might influence
his plans for the immediate future
Mr.. Hay said In response to questions
that he had no intention of leaving the
cabinet Regarding the trip he said it had
been a great benefit to him.

TAKAHIRA DISCUSSES
PLAN WITH PRESIDENT

Washington, June 15.-Minister Takahira
called again at the White House toni| s
shortly after o'clock and remained ~
the President to express formal p @ .
ance of Washington as the SC ,&,S
the negotiations. No details of l.
ference which followed can J ~ \ aed
but it is understood that Z x % dons
of date and of the plenipot \ s. ) were
under discussion. Japan q ndicated
that she will select two Jtentiaries
and will be ready to ma. -nird if that
number is preferred. Althe gh the Pres
ident has been advised that Marquis Ito
and Baron Komura and Marshal YAM
agata are the three distinguished per-
sons under consideration the official NOM
nations have not yet been communicated
to him.
The Presidents fourth and last peace
conference was with Sir Mortimer Du-
rand, the British ambassador, who reach
ed the White House about 10 o'clock
and remained with the President until
after II o'clock. Mr.. Takahira left soon
after the arrival of the ambassador. The
ambassador, upon leaving. was unable to
discuss his visit but he took occasion to
allude to the general appreciation
throughout the civilized world of the
work of the President in this crisis, and
also to express his confidence that the
negotiations were moving smoothly.
The negotiations were the main subject
The Birmingham age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1902-1950, 1905-06-16

discussed by the President with the
British ambassador, who. like Minister
'rakahira, came to the White House at
he Presidents request The discussion,
however. developed along general lines
upon Moroccan and other questions.
DESTROYS as Is the British government
for peace, the time has not yet come
when as an ally of Japan she can even
go to the extent of counselng modera-
ton. Indeed this counsel has not yet
been offered because London shares the
belief of Washington that the Japanese
terms will be entirely reasonable.
Japan, while refraining from giving
these terms has shown by her general
attitude that she is inclined to be mod
crate, though by no means weak or re-
lenting in her conditions. What gives
the officials here hope is the frank
expression on the part of the Japanese
that 1t is not their wish to crush Russia
as a nation Another important fact
which has come to light is the improbab-
fifty of the use of the indemnity for the
enlargement of the Japanese navy. 1t
can be said that once the war is over,
Japan will turn her face first toward de-
velopment Encouragement will be given
all branches of industry and commercial
supremacy rather than military supre-
macy alone, will be her aim.
These facts are In the possession OF
the Washington government and Count
Casslni has Indirectly learned of the atti-
tude shown by Japan and has advised
his government to that effect.
