IN CARPENTERS UNION
Biggest Trade Union in Minnesota
Makes Complete Change
of Officers.
Minneapolis Union Of Carpenters
Springs Surprise on All
Old Timers,

MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., June 90
Complete revolution has taken place
in the Carpenters union, and the fac
ton known as the radicals is now in
full control. In the annua! meeting
held Friday night all but one of the
old officers, who belonged to the party
known as the conservatives, were de-
MED re- election, and new men for
their places were chosen from the So
called radical faction without excep-
ton. John Ellert, the treasurer, Is the
one former officer who was reelected.
The action Of the union is generally
accepted in labor circles as a direct
expression Of displeasure at the set
Element of the recent strike, in which
the demand Of the men fo, an In
crease Of wages from 40 to As cents
an hour was compromised by accept
ance of a scale Of 427z cents an hour.
At the time of the settlement there
was considerable complaint among
the members of the union, and now it
is said that the officers who conduct
ed the negotiations with the master
builders were severely criticised.
The change of administration, al
though sweeping, was brought about
in a quiet and businesslike manner,
| The strength of the radicals was a
| complete surprise to the conserva-
| tives, but now it is known that an
earnest campaign has been in pro-
gress for weeks and that the action
of Friday night had all been planned
| carefully in advance.
Herman Baxter was elected presi-
dent, to succeed ]. P. O'Reilly; Chas
! president, and Eston Foss fol-
that Of recording secretary, and John
Ellert remains in the office of treas
urer. Andrew Ekwald is conductor
and Martin Wiefold takes the place Of
Thomas McCourt as business agent
and D. Engdahl succeeds w. r. Fisher
as assistant business agent.
Among those familiar with labor
conditions it is understood that the
change Of administration canno,
make any difference in the present re.
lat1ons between the Carpenters unio1
and the Master Builders association
or affect the terms of the settlement
already completed. This conclusion
is based upon the law of tie Building

sary for one Of the constituent union.

American Firm Gets Contract for
Building Manchester
1nfirmary.
Britons Are Strongly Opposed to
American Steel Frame
Construction.

MANCHESTER, England, June 20.
I'm no branch Of activity is the So
called American Invasion" of Europe
more significant than in the construc-
ton Of big buildings. One of the
latest coups Of Yankee enterprise is
the securing Of the contract for put
ting in the floors of the mammoth
i1firmary at Manchester. This much
coveted contract, though sought by
many British bidders, was awyarded
to an American concern, the National
Fireproof1ng company
To get an adequate impression of
the size Of this infirmary one should
imagine two New York city blocks
used for one purpose. The whole es-
Establishment, which is really a. series
Of separate, but connected buildings
will cost about 100000. 1t will be
officially opened by King Edward.
The frame proper is made of steel.
but the steel frame will be protected
by fireproofiing material
The same American company which
is doing this work has also obtained
the contracts for doing the floors and
partitions of the Birmingham Teie-
phone Exchange building and the "Or-
leans" apartments in Liverpool.
For long time the Britons with
their dislike for innovations, rebelled
against the American steel frame.
Finally, however, architects and engi-
neers realized that the crowded con-
ditions of English cities demanded
some change in the genera! building
scheme. Meanwhile builders III me
United States had made such great
advances in massive and fireproof
construction that Americans had a
great advantage in bidding upon the
modern kind Of buildings.
It has been some time since Mr.
George Westinghouse upset traditions
by the speed with which he erected
his Manchester plant, and now the
English people are growing used tc

HOT SHOT.
BY Rev. Chas. Stelz1a

BY Rev. Chas. Stelzle.
You cannot always judge how we'll
man has aimed. by what he hits.
1t isn't always the gun that makes
the loudest report that does the most
business.
For effective work, a carnon must
be one hundred times heavier than
the shot it fires.
There are many kinds of guns, but
none of them are f-f1ring-except-
Ing the kind that do mischief.
Blank cartridges may be good
enough for a Fourth Of July celebra-
ticn, but life is not all q holiday.
Some men have wasted so much
time In getting an aim in, life. that

they have forgotten how tc pull the
trigger.
The man behind the gun may pull
the trigger, but after all it is the
woman behind the man who took the
aim.
There are times when it pays to fire
in battalions, but for ordinary pur-
poses, it is the single, well-aimed
shot that counts.
A man may not always strike the
bulls eye, but it is safer to keep on
trying than to stake ones reputation
upon a good chance shot.

ticularly for It's Children.

We attended two sessions of the
Conference of Charities and Correc-
tons last week in Minneapolis, and
were much impressed with the work
of the meeting, particularly in it's CT
forts to eradicate the awful curse of
child labor. Among the enthusiastic
workers in the conference was little
woman in tan coat who was practi-
cally unknown to most Of the audi
ence until she appeared at a meeting
in the Plymouth church on Thursday
evening, where In five minutes she
had won the greatest applause of any
speaker in the conference.
It was at the close Of the meeting
and as the audience arose there was
a rush to shake hands with and to
meet the little woman. 1t was Miss
Kate Barnard of Oklahoma. After
word with her newly won admirers
she walked to the West hotel. On the
way she talked about the necessity
for legislation for shorter hours for
the working man.
At the conference she is known, and
pretty we'll known now, as MRS. Bar
nard, official delegate from Oklaho-
ma" Out in the new state Of Okla
homa she is known as "the friend Of
the poor" organizer of the largest
charity association in Oklahoma, for
mer state deputy factory Inspector Of
child-labor and compulsory education
planks in the new state constitution,
and nominee Of both the Republican
and Democratic parties for state COM
missioner Of charities. All Of which
doesn't seem to worry Miss Barnard
In the least.
What She Stands For.
Child labor, compulsory education,
factory inspection, the protection Of
children in every way, these are the
things to which she has devoted her
life
When it was first learned definitely
that Oklahoma was to achieve state
hood Miss Barnard was one of those
who realized what that step was to
mean through the writing of g. consti-
tuition which would decide the lives Of
the future children Of the state. Feel
ing that she should be better prepared
to enter into such a task intelligently
she spent four months in visiting the
cities OF the east, where she made a
close study of conditions in factories,
sweat shops and s1ums, and penal and
charitable institutions.
To aid her in this work she was
sworn in temporarily as deputy fac
tory inspector in Illinois and Missouri.
On her return she wrote the planks
referring to child labor and compul-
! sorry education in the Oklahoma char
ter which will come up Tor adoption
this fall and against which hard
! fight is being made by interests which
| these planks hurt.
The statement of her experience in
gaining information and its embodi-
| ment in the organic law of Oklahoma
| is given in her own words:
Oklahoma's Constitution: The Key
| to a Higher Civilization.--By Miss
| Kate M. Barnard.
| The first care Of a state Is the ele-
walton and development of it's men
This is the keynote of Ol<lahoma's
constitution. While establishing in
dustry, trade and commerce we have
initiated those agencies which make
for human betterment. We have
crystalized into law vital preventive
measures which Law the foundation

young colt, needs no greater exercise
than play and in Oklahoma our con-
stitution has written it that they
shall not work until they have at
tanned the age Of fifteen. Thus on
their forehead the. constitution of
Oklahoma has set the states great
seal of protection, enlightenment and
liberty.

this opinion to the pulpit and the
press, to the leading statesmen Of
your state, and ask them to use their
influence with representatives Of

ton, for, remember you can pass this
way but once and tits best to make

to destroy this document, which con-
tains more of human liberty than any
thing written since the Declaration of

have even attempted to prejudice our
great president against us. We are

forefathers when they left their

Manic CorelIi and Men

Marie Corelli, the once famous
novelist, is preparing to have pub
lished some more productions from
her pen, and as her fame has been on
a gradual decline for some time she
takes shy at some notoriety adver-
Using. In some of the Introductory
matter she expresses an alleged con-
tempt and disgust of men of
which the following is sample:
'They have not either courage or
intelligence to fight the world for
themselves, and seeing the fierce
heat of competition IN every branch
of labor they gladly sneak behind a
woman's petticoats to escape the gen
eral fray.
When they have secured the ig-
noble end of their ambition they are
the first to run down woman's work.
woman's privileges, woman's attain
ments and woman's honor"
Marie evidently believes that
women only are privileged to dis
parage the work of their opposite
sex. It is interesting to note, in
connection with Marie's walls, that
the women writer's of this country
are treated with high regard by the
men conducting publishing estab-
lishments who manage to find the
money to pay them for their work.

plications of the Wheeling Natural

binary, as it has been quite seldom
in recent years that circuit court

correct, but the State supreme court
