OF the cloth market SO that manufacture

ORGANIZED
LABOR

General President w. D. Huber of the
Carpenters union, and P, III. Mccarthy,
of the general executive board, has
done more real benefit to these organi-
zatiops than any previous visitation Of
international officers.
While here, President Huber and Mr.
Mccarthy held an all-day conference
with the officers of the Building Trades
Council and the various building craft
organizations, with view to getting In
touch with local conditions and placing
themselves in a position to give their
aid and counsel in number of per
picking problem now confronting the
local unions.
Nothing is given out officially in re,
gard to the increased scale of the car.
penters and painters, but assurances
are held out that there will be no
trouble. From now on efforts will be
made to "square' certain non-union
contractors, and present indications are
that these advances will meet with a
great measure of success.
Negotiations have been pending for
some time between representatives of
the Building Trades Council and some
of the large non-nnion contractors, and
while there is nothing authentic or au
thoritative from the side of the unions
there seems to be some ground for say
ing that in several instances an under

DEATH BY INDIGESTION.
A Long Train Of Fatal Ills Is the Direct
! Result of Undigested Food.

Undigested food, by fermenting,
forms poison in the stomach, and this
is absorbed in the blood. If this goes
on very long, and your heart happens
to be weak, you III be found some morn
ing dead in bed, or you may fall back
down the stairs about an hour and a
half after dinner, and the doctor will
call it heart disease. Yes, that may
be the result, but not the cause. The
sim pie, common word, but It has a ter
ribIe import. ~ "
And so you may get apoplexy and die
suddenly while you re standing.
If you have weak liver. the poison
of undigested food will attack it and
you will get jaundice. If you have
weak kidneys, you will get Bright e
Disease or diabetes, from which there
is no rescue for any man. - :.

CONSUMERS LEAGUE
IS TO be ORGANIZED
ASSOCIATION WILL DO MUCH FOR
UNION LABEL.
Women Will Be Urged to Form Com
bination to Advance Cause of Union
ism by Insisting on Union Made
Goods Similar Leagues Have Done
Great Good in Other Cities.

Plans are under way for the forma-
tion of consumers league, the main
object Of which will be to combine the
purchasing power of organized labor.
The movement to organize the proposed
league has received the Endorsement Of
the Trades Assembly, and Mrs. F. W.
Hynes will make an effort to visit all
the unions between now and the time
set for the first meeting of those inter
/ ested, with view to enlisting the aid
and cooperation Of all organized work
ingmen and women.
A special appeal will be made to
women to join the movement, and the
league will be made an auxiliary to or
ganized labor, composed Of women and
conducted by them. Besides the Trades
Assembly, the State Federation Of La
Dor has signifed it's approval and will
aid the ladies in their work. Mrs.
Hynes outlined the proposed work in
connection with the organization Of
the league at the meeting of the Trades
Assembly Wednesday evening, and
spoke Interestingly Of the operation and
effect Of similar organizations in other
places. --.,.
In Chicago, where the plan which will
be put in operation here has been thoro-
~ tested, it is said the results have
proved more than, satisfactory. The
/ primary object, Of course, is to increase
! and foster the demand for union made
: goods, and in this connection the union
label will be required upon all goods
purchased by members Of the league.
Up to this time there has never been
a move locally to bring together the
wives and families of union working
men with a view to combining their
purchasing power, andth present effort
will be watched with interest. It is
understood that membership In the
league will not be confined to the mem
bers of families of union men, but will
be broader in it's scope, taking in all
women who are heads of. families with
ont regard to unionisln: ~ :.
Arrangements are being made for a
mass meeting in the interests Of the
league, to be held at McElroy's hall
Eighth street and 'Nicollet avenue, on
Sunday afternoon, March IS, when the
merits of the movement will be ex'
blamed and steps taken to effect an
organization and begin the work OF
eanvassing the entire city for the pur
nose of bringing into it all who desire
to become affiliated. At present, an
appeal, is being made especially tc
members of the labor unions to show
their allegiance to the cause by assur
ingsa large and representative meeting
on March 1S.

d. MIDWAY IS POPULAR
Many Twin City Unions Meet Each
Other Half Way.

= Midway is becoming popular as a
meeting place for labor unions. Half a
dozen twin city organizations meet
there now, and the headquarters Of the
twin city macbinists' business agent is
located at Midway. In q number Of in
stances it has been found advantageous
to consolidate twin city unions, the
latest being that Of the Twin City
Metal Trades council, also the
Painters District council, the Twin
City Marble and Tile Settlers, and the
Twin City Metal Polishers, and a num-
Der Of others. All have established
themselves in the Midway district, this
being done for the reason that the
membership comes from both cities.
The Photo Engravers have twin city
organization, as have some others but
they hold their meeting alternately in
each city. 49,,

the increase of pay of the machinists

whose members are directly interested.
The claim is set forth that the machin-
lists have been overlooked by the gov
eminent in the matter of pay, while
other crafts have been advanced, and
organized labor the country over is
lending it's aid in an effort to accom-
plish the desired results.

WAS TT A SUCCESS?
A "country Breeder" Asks Questions
About the Poultry Show.

A Country Breeder" Asks Questions
About the Poultry Show.
To the Editor Of The Journal.
I have read with considerable interest
your aattering reports of the successful
outcome of the recent poultry show
s'Most successful exhibition Of ALL Hun
dreds of congra tula ting letters received
by the secretary" etc. Is this h e
Journ Is report, or is it ''box office
boosts?" -
How does the show compare in the
number of exhibits, and number of ex-
hibitors with the show of 1904 or Of 1905?
What amount of money was actually paid
out to exhibitors? What was the amount
the poultrymen had to pay for the priv
ilege of exhibiting? Did not the state
give several hundred dollars to the assoc
citation during the fall of 1905, and does
it not contribute each year a large
amount?
I am asking these questions because I
hear numerous complaints of poultry
breeders that the state show is being run
for clique, who are seeking self-aggran-
dizement, political pulls, at the expense
Of the industry; that the exhibits have
fallen Off over one-half since 1904; that
exhibitors outside the officers and en-
ployees of this organization are limited;
that poultrymen pay 81 into the associa-
ton to win one; that entry fees were
nearly doubled for the last show, and the
prizes reduced one-half. in many in
stances.
This does not look like Minneapolis en-
! terprise, and it has been extensively adj
yertised that minneapolis business men
! were putting up the money to back this
show. Is it not a sad commentary on
Minneapolis that the poultry breeders OF
the country have to pay double the entry
fees there that other associations charge
and take out about one half the premiums
others offer? This is about the condition
in which matters now stand and with
the proposed advance Of the entry fee to
81 per bird. as the statement in last Sat
urday's Journal advises us for the
future. unless the country breeder gets a
job with the show, or to be an officer OF
the association his exhibits will have, to
stay in the. country. Yours for good
poultry and a chance to show 1t.
Country Breeder.
