ell Bluffs last year the federation agreed to

ton laws provided the grocers would sup
port a child labor law. The union men well
knew that IL would be impossible TO get
through a law to repeal alike the eNemp-
ton OF the professional mans library and
the farmers homestead when the legisla-
ture is made up of farmers and professional
men. A joint resolution was adopted by
both organizations. Last week Representa-
tive Greene introduced a bill exempting
homesteads to the extent Of 5000 and wages
to the amount of $40 month for three

unions. II is believed the Greene bill will
fail.
