"rne play without superfuous
word," Henri Bernstein's "The Thief"
which Cha1les tFtohnan Will present
at the Lyceum on Monday, Tuesday
and Wednesday. matinee and night,
displays the greatest amount Of action
of any play in recent years. It is
hardly worth Stain. gthe fact to say
that 1.-THE Thief'' mas no dull moment
It's every moment is filled with matter
of the intensest interes- for the spec
tator There is not a trite situation
In 1.-THE Thief" Each phase Of the
authors thought possesses an unusual
freshness and is developed and is dis
closed in the most pregnant phrases
OF language of living men and wo-
men, not. bookish or impossible Gre
atoms. For three acts the spectator
and auditor is held in firm grip by
the authors story which is brought to
satisfactory and logical conclusion
by sIcies of the most intense situa-
| tons and climaxes. A model for all
other authors and writer's for the
stage; Bernstein shows too great an
originality to have one believe that he
owes his wonderful powers to imita-
ton or study Of the works of other
men.

SECRETARY TREASURER

The following is the full text of a

Secretary-Treasurer State Federation
of Labor:
st. Paul, Mimi, March 8, 1909.
To all Labor Organizations in the State
of Minnesota, Greeting.
Enclosed herewith you will find a
copy of H. F. No. $40, which is bill
for an act requiring employers in GER
tain employments to pay compensation
to injured employees. This bill has
been prepared by a committee of the
House to take the place of petition

IRISH IMMIGRATION.
Report for 1908 Shows 1884 Landed
at Port Of New York.

According to the report issued by
the Irish Emigrant society, the num-
Der Of immigrants landed at the Port
of New York from Ireland in the
var 1908 was 16,341. Of that number
$3.50 were males and 1881 females,
1913 were under fourteen years of age,
15,479 between fourteen and forty-five
years old, and .684 over forty-fiye
years old.
The money possessed by the Irish
immigrants on landing here amounted
to $403,195, which was exhibited &C
cording to law at Ellis island. Of the
total of 16,341, more than one-half,
$3.50, remained in this city, and the
rest were divided all over the United
States. The greatest number of these
latter, 1919, went to Illinois, New Jer-
sey got 1909, and Pennsylvania, 1922.

ingmen's compensation, and to prepare
a bill for an act to be presented to
the next session of the State Leg1sla-
ture. In our petition we stated that
there was insufficient data on hand to
prepare a bill that would be equitable
to employer and employe alike.
The enclosed bill attempts to place
a value upon a human leg, arm, eye,
etc. In the opinion of your officers
the schedule is so low that we have
asked ourselves whether its authors
were considering the value Of horses
or men in determining the amount Of
compensation to be paid for injuries.
We are submitting the bill. to the labor
unions Of Minnesota with the request
that the membership give it careful
and studious thought and to inlmedi-
ately transmit to the undersigned a
letter with the official seal Of the
union, stating the position Of the or
CARNATIONS on the bill. We do not
desire to prejudice the workingmen of
Minnesota in the matter but we wish
to secure the sentiment of the men,
bership of the labor organizations so
that we may be guided in our actions
by some authority.
We fear that if the principle of this
bill Is admitted and the schedule Of
prices fixed, that it will be impossible
to secure from subsequent legislatures
an increase in the awards. No time
can be lost by organized labor for the
bill has taken a peculiar course. Ordi-
narily all bills are referred to a COM
mittee after introduction. This bill
was placed on general ORDERS imme-
diately after its Introduction, and grave
suspicion is entertained that an at
tempt will be made to railroad it
through the House without giving
those interested a chance to be heard.
Trusting that each union will take
immediate action, even to the extent
Of calling a special meeting therefor,
and hoping that we may hear from you
at the earliest moment, I am,
Yours fraternally,

One Million Paid Out.
Just seven years ago, January, 1902,
| the first claim on our Beneficiary DeA
partment was paid. .
Against obstacles, hard enough at
times, the Switchmen's Union has
gone steadily on, slowly but surely
building up its organization, meeting
prompt yand with despatch every just
obligation, so that today we find, after
seven years, we have paid out to in
jured brothers, widows and orphans
to be exact, one million five hundred
fourteen dollars and fifty cents.
Another thing, investigation will
show that there is on deposit in Buf-
falo banks to the credit Of the Switch
mems Union OF North America about
$500 for each member in our union
AS our members we'll know, in many
instances claims are being paid inside
of thirty days, and if local lodge Off
lcers act promptly in furnishing proof
of death or disability there will be no
cause for complaint on account OF
ldelay.
Our financial standing and record
for punctuaAty in meeting claims upon
the union, Is one we can justly feel
proud of. Our financial standing, con-
sidering our membership is on a
parity with the strongest of the older
railroad organizations, and this is said
with absolute truthfulness.
If there is one man more than an
other in this union who deserves
credit for the success we have
achieved, that man is your Grand Sec
rotary and Treasurer, M. r. WEIGH.
His recommendations, suggestions and
advice have been needed by the dele
gates to our various conventions, and
our present excellent financial stand
ing is the result

and Treasurerwith an almost depleted
