PRESSURE AT FIRE Is
DUE TO THE MAINS

Some criticism was made yesterday
relative to the water pressure at the
compress fire. The trouble was with
the water mains and not at the pump
ing station. The water mains leading
to the compress are rather small, only
four inches, and with double stream
pouring from each of the two by
drants the pressure necessarily was
none too great. The water tower was
full to overlooking, showing no lack
of supply at that source.

STICKING TO A CONTRACT

Is one of our good points. We do
not repudiate figures on estimates,
and we follow every detail closely.
We do only work of the very high

We find that this policy pays us.
You'll find that it will pay you to have

Meyers Address.

port and address at the afternoon ses-
sion.
President Meyer, in his report, refers
TO dissensions in the ranks of the or
ganization and expresses the hope that
the defeated minority may bow to the
viii of the majority in all matters for
the common veal.
Eight strikes were held during the
year just closed, according to the re-
port. the miners gaining better condi-
tions in several instances. The strike
in the Meseha range, in Minnesota.
which was called July 80, 1907, and
which resulted in complete defeat for
the miners and the virtual destruction
of every local union in the state, is
characterized as an unwise and prema-
ture affair. that was doomed to failure
almost as soon as commenced. The
sending OF United States troops by
district during the strike last fall is
condemned in strong language.
Not a Popular Idea.
Special attention is paid TO the trou-
BILE that has arisen between the fedora
tion and the Industrial Workers of the
World. President Meyer says that ii is
his belief that industrial unionism is
by no means popular and is not wanted
by the working class of the United
States.
Credit is given in the report for the
educational work in which the fedora
ton has been engaged and the good re-
suits achieved.
The death of Juhon II. Murphy, coun-
sci for the federation for a number of
years. is regretfully mentioned, and a
tribute paid TO his memory
The trial of Steve Adams is spoken of

Reference to Politics.

In concluding the report, President
Meyer uses this significant language in
referring TO the political situation:
There has just adjourned in this city
a national convention of one OF the old
political parties. Before the commit
tees of this convention there appeared
labor's representatives praying that
there might be inserted in the Demo-
cratic platform an anti-injunction
plank. Their prayer, as | am Informed,
was granted, and IL is now for the
voeers of the United States to decide
whether or not this party should be
placed in power. Far be IL from me to
say anything or do anything that might
interfere with labor's efforts, organized
or unorganiZed, to temporarily better
its condition, but have we any assur-
ance or reason to expect an interpre-
tation of these laws favorable to labor.
If they be enacted?
Mr. Mitchell is quoted as being par
ticularly gratified at having included
in this plank the right of the workers
to organize. When we remember that
federal judges by their Interpretation
of the laws have vested supreme
powers in the executive of state and
that no court may inquire into his acts,
and when. as Mr. Mitchell says, the
supreme court of the land has so con-
strued the laws as to make IL crime
for labor to organize, what have we to
hope for by placing further laws on the
statuteS?"
