TWO union families
bEREAVED BY Death
Mrs. George McNabb, Wife Of
Leading Union Carpenters
Called Suddenly.
Mrs. e. F. Heller Dies at Hospital
After long Illness-Wide
Sympathy.

Death dealt unkindly with two fam
lilies Of the Carpenters union last
week. Just as We went to press we
received news of the death Of Mrs.
George McNabb, whose husband is one
OF the best known members of the Car
penters' union. Mrs. McNabb had
been down town but few days before,
and her death was most sudden. She
was always loyal supporter of her
husband in h union work, and fire.
quently attended, the open meetings of
the Carpenters union. She was also
interested in the work of the Forest
ers, in which order she had many
friends.
On Friday death claimed Mrs. E. F.
Heller, wife Of leading union man,
and for many years secretary of the
Building Trades council She had been
sufferer for some time, and her
death was not unexpected. She was a
patient wife and mother, and was loved
and respected by all who associated
with her.
The Labor World joins with the
un1on1sts of Duluth in extending SYM
pathy to the families of the bereaved.
While death is sorrow from which
we refuse to be divorced" yet may the
husbands and children of the deceased
bear their grief bravely. The loss in
both cases is irreparable, but we must
learn to make the best of life, even
when robbed of all that is near and
dear to us.

PEACEFUL DEATH Of
GEORGE {. M'NE|LL
Nestor Of American Labor Move,
ment Gathered into His
Fathers.
Was Father Of Eight Hour Move
ment-Resembled Our Late
DR.. Salter,

Through the columns of the eastern
labor papers we have receievd news
OF the death of George E. McNeill, the
nestor OF the American Labor Move.
ment, and father of the eight hour day
Mr.. Mcneil lived to a ripe old age
and during his life was known as a
forcible writer and speaker on labor
problems.
1 shall never forget my first meet.
Ing with Mr.. McNeill. 1t was at the
Kansas City convention of the Amer
lean Federation of Labor. He was to
occupy pulpit in an Episcopal church
by Invitation Of it's pastor, and 1 was
invited to accompany him. His sermon
was most powerful. He discussed the
religious side Of the labor question in
a manner that went straight to the
hearts of his listeners.
In features he reminded me verv
much Of the late Rev. G. c. Salter,
with long flowing silver hair and
beard. His kindly manner, sincere
speech, and sympathetic expression
were almost like that of Mr.. Salter.
Mr.. Mcneil was always sought in
the councils Of union labor. The tex.
tile workers of New England received
the benefit of his wise council from
the inception of their organization. His
His loss will be deeply deplored by all
OF the American labor leaders,

OREGON ELECTION MAY
HAVE SALUTARY EFFECT
The Initiative and Referendum
Is Leading Campaign Issue
In the West.
All Reform Interests Have
Their Eyes On Outcome of
Oregon Contest.

Portland, Ore, May 31.-In the June
elections in Oregon comes the second
great test Of the initiative and refer
endum in that state. Besides five con-
stitutional amendments to be voted
on, having been initiated by the peo-
pie, there are various bills to be
adopted or rejected, bills that, also,
have been initiated by the people. -Four
of the pending constitutional amend
ments and one of the bills were in
itiated through the efforts of the
Peoples Power League of that state.
This organization has been the lead
ing influence that has been urging this
improved system Of government In
Oregon. The five amendments init
ated by the League are:
1. An amendment to extend the
principle of the initiative and refer.
endum to local, special and municipal
laws and parts Of laws.
2. An amendment to allow the
state printing, binding and printers
compensation to be regulated by law
at any time.
8. An amendment giving to cities
and towns the exclusive right to
amend their charters, subject to the
constitution and criminal laws
4. An amendment giving power to
legislative assembly to propose and
submit to the people amendments to
the constitution, to proclaim such
amendments, and requiring the PEG.
pies approval before a constitutional
convention can be called.
Besides this, the PEOPLES Powe,
League has initiated bill for a law to
prohibit free passes and discrimina
ton by public service corporations.
But the Peoples Power League by
no means has a monopoly Of initial
ing measures. Other interests have
initiated measures and others still are
trying to get the necessary signatures
to petitions. The Equal Suffrage AS
ISOLATION has filed a petition for 9
constitutional amendment enfranchis
ing women.
The State Grange has initiated, b,
petition, bill for law providing fol
two corporation license tax laws.
The owners Of toll roads have filed
an initiative petition providing for the
state purchase of toll roads at q cost
Of $4,000.
Even the State Liquor Dealers AS
ISOLATION has come Juggling in a bill
by petition, proposing certain mod1fl
cations Of the act of June, 1904. which
act was adopted by the people BY
referendum vote and provides fol
Local option. The original act was in
1t1ated by the Prohibitionists.

and drifted west. He went to Dead
wood, S. D., In the early days Of that
camp and became a successful gamb-
Ter. He was known as square gamb-
Ter, and the sports Of the mining
camp dubbed him 'Deadwood Dick,

later went to Chicago where he mar
ried the sister of a prominent Episco-
pal minister Of that city. One child
was the issue of the marriage, but
family differences arose and one year
and six months later the husband and
wife separated and Palmer came west
again. He drifted into Cripple Creek
nine years ago. Reversesr in fortune
came and for eight years he sold
chewing gum and candy which he car
ried around in a shoe box. It is
thought that Palmer's wife and child
are still in Chicago. Undertaken

STATE LABOR LEADER
JOHN |. HUGHES DEAD
Former President of the Mime.
sofa State Federation of
Labor Succombs.
Cancer Takes From Busy Labor
Field Devoted Champion
of Union Labor.

John L. Hughes Of St. Paul, former
president Of the Minnesota State Fed
GRAFTON Of Labor, and most prominent
in state labor circles for the past fif-
teen years is dead. The news comes
to us through the columns Of the
Minnesota Union Advocate. Mr.
Hughes was we'll known to Duluth
union men who have attended con-
ventions Of the State Federation OF
Labor.
He attended the Brainerd conven-
ton and his condition there gave his
friends cause for much worry. He
was afflicted with a cancer on his lip
and it was evident that the disease
had progressed too far to be remedied
Mr.. Hughes was a. man Of high
character and tru worth. He was sell
sacrificing in his efforts in behalf Of
the labor movement. His work will
ever be appreciated by those who have
been his co-workers during life.
The following editorial appeared fr
the Union Advocate which best typi.
fies the character and life of our late
comrade.
Death has removed fr I'm the scenes
Of earthly activity In this city, in the
person of the late John L. Hughes
one Of the best men, in all the es-
sentials to goodness. in the entire
community. AS union carpenter
Mr.. Hughes won the admiration an6
love of all who came in touch with
him. He was a. good workman and q
loyal union man. He gave the best
that was in him for the promotion o.
the welfare of his craft and his unior
and the members Of both. He was 6
quiet, unassuming gentleman, and ir
the awful affl1ction that CAM upor
him he showed all the qualities al
once Of the patient man and the true
hero. There was nothing done by his
fellow craftsmen to release him from
the dead grip of cancer that was not
mer1ted and appreciated a hundred
fold. John L. Hughes has passed
away, as we all must. It will be well
for us-the best Of us-if we can pre-
sent like record Of good done and
suffering manfully borne, of gentle
ness and kindness toward others that
marked his life. May God relieve and
comfort the now helpless but once
happy family he leaves behind him.
Appropriate resolutions were ADOPT
ed by the last meeting of his local
union as follows:
Whereas, The shadowy wines al
death have again spread their dark
endng pail over our noble union and
wrapped in their folds our beloved
brother, John L. Hughes; and
whereas, His heartfelt interest and
earnest solicitude for the welfare Of
unionism helped to build up the or.
ganfzation and bring it to prosperity:
therefore ba it
"ResQlved. That, In the death NJ
Brother John L. Hughes, the Car.
penters' union has lost noble mem.
Der, kind friend and a man true t.
the principles Of nature as endowed
by the hand Of God.
Resolved, further, That CODY Of
these resolutions be spread on the
records, and that a copy be Forwarded

Besides all this, petition was filed
last spring against one of the appro.
priation bills, which must now be set.
tied by the people. All of these vari
Gus measures will be voted upon at
the coming June elections.
The initiative and referendum
amendment to the state constitution
under which all this is done, was
adopted by the people by an over
whelming vote at the election of 1902.
Since then, but one general election
has been held; that of 1904. The
referendum is optional in character,
and has been used but once. This
was after the last legislature adjourn.
ed after having passed an appropri-
alton bill which included an unusually
large amount Of money for certain
purposes. The people Immediately
held up this bill by filing a per cent
petition and the matter will be de.
cided by the people next month at the
general election. The initiative has
been used twice before this in 1904.
One of these initiative petitions asked
for a vote on bill for direct nomi
nations, and the other was for bill
providing satisfactory local option
law. Both bills were adopted by the
people.
The liquor local vote bill has been
especially satisfactory as, before
1904, the communities had the hcens.
ed saloon inflicted upon them whether
they wanted it or not. Now the people
have secured to themselves the right
to vote out the liquor saloons If they
wish to do so.
Their success in getting what they
wanted two years ago has emboldened
the people to use their powers of in.
1at1ng legislation more fully than be.
fore. The result Is the batch of pro-
posed legislation given above. The
character Of it shows that If the
amendments proposed by the Peoples
Sovereignty League are adopted, as
they most surely will be, the party
machines and the political boss will
be most effectually put out of com
mission In Oregon.
The satisfaction Of the people at
being relieved of machine and boss
rule was voiced in a recent letter
written by Governor George e. Cham.
berlain of Oregon to Roland T. Pat.
ten, of the Maine Referendum League
In his letter explaining the system,
| Governor Chamberlain said:
1T is my opinion that the initiative
and referendum amendment to the
constitution will have a most salutary
effect in Oregon. In the first place Il
Will make legislative bodies more
careful OF the peoples rights, and will
! make them hesitate to pass extrava.
CANT appropriation bills and other
measures which will not meet with the
approval of the people, and if de.
mands for healthful legislation are
ignored, the people have It in their
power to initiate such laws as they
may deem necessary for the advance.
ment of their interests and for their
protection. One of the noticeable
things at the first session of the legis.
lature after the adoption of the
amendment referred to, was the de.
crease in the number of lobbyists,
whose vocation it was prior to that to
hang around each succeeding legisla.
tive assembly. One thing is
sure, the party boss and machine are
both eliminated from politics, and
with them must Inevitably go corrup,
| ton in public life."
