TRADES ASSEMBLY NAMES COM
MITTEE TO ARRANGE.
Success of This Years Meeting Leads
Delegates to Favor State Fair as
Meeting Place Most Likely to Give
Satisfaction to Members Of Unions
Other Labor News.

Encouraged by the successful out
come of the Labor Day celebration,
which was held this year in conjunction
with the state fair and proved to be
the banner day as far as attendance
goes, the Trades Assembly has taken
up the arrangements for next years
program. In 1905 the labor unions
held an independent celebration at
Lake Minnetonka. This was not as
successful as many wished, and as La
Dor Day generally comes the opening
day of the fair, the majority seem to
favor some sort of an understanding
between the fair management and the
labor organizations which will insure
the holding of future Labor Day ex-
ercises on the fair grounds.
Much of the credit for the Labor
any previous figures for any day, is
taken by the unions, and it is now gen
orally admitted that their membership
added materially in swelling the total.
Delegate Hoffman brought the mat
ter up in the assembly last week and
urged that a committee be chosen to
make an immediate start upon next
Labor Day arrangements. He sug-
gested that the assembly get closer in
ton to be made permanent, as from an
alliance with the tillers Of the soil much
benefit might be derived by both the
farmer and the labor unionist. Mr..
Hoffman pointed out that as the mat
ter now stands, we only approach them
(the farmers) when we have some big
Job on our hands,
William Templeman, former president
of the State Federation Of Labor and
special organizer for the Typographical
union, was present, and advised action
such as outlined by Mr.. Hoffman. Mr.
Templeman thought an effort should
be made to bring to Minneapolis next
Labor Day President John Mitchell of
the Mine Workers. This suggestion
met with approval.
, st. Paul assembly has a committee
and the Minneapolis central body will
work in harmony with St. Paul, the
intention being to make future Labor
Day celebrations joint affairs. This
plan is being urged for the reason thai
it is not possible for both cities to OBJ
serve the day separately, provided botl
choose the fair grounds. 1t has beer
given out that the joint committee viii
at once proceed to secure for next yea
an orator of national prominence, an(
if Mr.. Mitchell cannot be induced t(
come, some other man will be sought.

UNIONS SHOULD ADVERTISE
Rev. Charles Stelzle Advocates Public
ity for Labor Organizations.

In his weekly letter to the labor pa.
pers, Rev. Charles Stelzle takes a novel
stand for publicity. He advocates ad-
vertising on the part of the unions and
backs up his ideas with something
which should receive the consideration
OF all labor organizations.
Everybody advertises,'' says Mr..
Stelzle. "That is, everybody who has
something, to advertise, and who is
not the trades union adopt this mod
ern method of exploita atom? Trades
unionism can not only tell well it's story,
but it has good story to tell.;:'
MIR. Stelzle says that "the best re.
suits will not come by meeting week
after week as sort of mutual admira
ton society, but by telling the outsider
who should know, just what the trades
union movement means, what it has al
poses to do.
''Scme central bodies have inaugu
rated lecture courses, not only for the
benefit Of the unionist, but for the
benefit Of the public. Properly man
aged, this may be made an exceeding
| ~ valuable adjunct. Securing we'll
known speakers and charging small
admission fee, such course would bt
sufficiently attractive to gain the at
LenIlOn OIL Cne enIlIe community, eSpe
cially if the matter is taken hold of no
only by the officers, but by the entir,
membership of the unions.
"But why not begin a systematic
aggressive advertising campaign, ,
continues Mr.. Stelzle, Gin the loca
daily papers and the magazines
Go at it in business-like way
and then keep at it. A goo(
advertising man and a level-heade(
trades unionist getting together on thi
job would map out campaign tina
would reduce the expenses of organiza
tion and make organization muc]
easier, the whole thing resultin,
in large increase in the mem
bership Of the trades union, which re
suit would justify whatever expendi

The dreadful words fell upon the city
Monday night, and while not altogether
unlocked for, were nevertheless dread
full. Since then business has been sus-
pended practically, and the usual avo-
cations of life go on DULY. Nearly all
the stores. buildings, and many resi-
dences are draped with badges of
mourning, while all forms of social
life or amusement are tabooed.
Last night the Academy Of Music
was thronged with gathering of rep
resentative citizens who came to pay
the last sad tribute to the memory Of
the lamented statesman and patriot,
President James A. Garfield. The
] stage was occupied by a memorial
catafalque Of flowers bearing upon it's
front in letters Of gold the words
"Ruler. Husband, Father Son.
On the stage sat the city council,
members Of the Board of Trade and the
speakers. The exercises were opened
with a solemn dirge rendered by the
Danz orchestra, following which Colo
mel R. S. Innes presented the presiding
officer of the evening, Governor J. S.
Pillsbury. Rev. DR.. Knickerbacker read
appropriate scriptural selections. The

Odd PunIshments Suggested for Presi-

An Evening Journal scribe on his
travels has heard various expressions Of
individuals as to what punishment
Guiteau should receive for his murder
of President Garfield. Here are some
of them:
The Chinese method Of tying a GRIM

no protection from sun, and cutting off
his eyelids was suggested by one.
Another thought the greasing of his
body with oil and then placing it on a

Another suggestion was that a hole
should be bored in the back Of Gui-
