Rev. Dr. Tuohy was then called upon
to detail his plan through which the

The movement Of bringing together

spreading like wild fire throughout the
state. At the st. Cloud convention Of
the Minnesota State Federation Of
Labor a resolution was adopted in
structing the officers OF the state body
to visit among the. meetings Of the
farmers from time to time.
Since the state convention officers
Of the Federation have addressed sew
eral county conventions, and this week
fraternal delegates attended the state
union of the American Society of
Equity. The good that is being done
by this exchange of greetings is prov
ing Of incalculable benefit to labor.
Last Friday w. E. McEwen, secre-
tary-treasurer of the State Federation
Of Labor, was the principal speaker
at the Chisago county fair, held at
Rush City. The fair society turned
the fair over to the farmers, and called
it Equity day. There was an attend
ance Of 5000.
Mr.. McEwen spoke in his character
istic manner, discussing the relations
of the farmer to the workingman. He
said that the grievance Of the farmer
was simply the labor question cropping
out in another form. He complimented
the farmers for getting together into
an economic organizations, and assured
them that they had. no better friend
than the wage Garner In the city. +;

BRIEF AND SOCIAL NEWS
Writer Gives Some Good Advice
to Parents About the Franks
Of Boys.
Believes There Will Be q Serious
Accident From Playing on
Street Cars.

A good meaning citizen Of the
Heights sends us this week a brief
letter of admonition to parents. The
habit of the Heights boys in jumping
on and off the fender of moving street
cars is growing and serious accident
may some day follow. The writer
says:
1T perhaps will dawn on the con-
cerned readers of this letter that the
writer is going step too far in tax
ing up subject which does not con-
Germ him. These lines are written by
one whose purpose is for the best.
''The observing citizen of the
Heights has noticed that the boys of
today are just like the boys of yester-
day. They are venturesome and reck-
less in taking great risks. In these
days Of fast moving street cars it is
the boys delight to become clever in
the art Of mounting and dismounting
from moving street cars on which
they are not even passengers.
parents will appreciate that 1t is
impossible for the lone street car

places at the same time. One day
last week the writer of this article

distance towards the sidewalk. For
tunately and boy-like he came out Of
it uninjured, but that he was not hurt
was miracle.
"A word to parents along this line
in your columns might aid greatly,
and might assist materially in saving
an accident that would darken the
