"Mackinac Island wants a big juicy
aprropriation from the present legisla-
ture What did Mackinac county do
for the present administration, we
would like to known" Mining Jour

We doubt very much that the above
expression represents the true senti-
ment OF the Mining Journal or it's edi-
tor. We look upon 1t more in the
light of slip We don't care snap
whether Mackinac Island gets any
money or not but we do care whether
the people and institutions OF Michigan
are TO be measured by the yard stick
of loyaty 10 Governor Warner. That
freedom of political action which the
Mining journal has been advocating
for the people by direct primary should
not work to penalize them when they
use that freedom TO their own presona
preference. Mackinac Island and othel

CAPITAL AUXILIARY.

umph But a Numerical Failure.

So far as numbers were concerned
the May social of Capital Auxiliary
No. IL was pretty slim. But as a
gaStronomic event it must be elasSed
as the record of that organization.
The social was held at the home of
MIR. and Mrs. Orval Young. and five
printers were present. Printers wives
to the number OF seven, and printers
children to the number of dozen
or more. made up the attendance

chicken pie such as mother used TO

to the spot and produced that fine
feeling of satisfaction. The Wagework-
er man. who never misses a chance
to partake of the AuNiliary's hospi-
tality, only wants to say that the
printer who could have been there
and wasn't. missed something.

concerned. the lowest bidder, if he
is responsible, will always get the
contract, regardless of whether he is
a union printer or a non-union print
err. We are supposed to carry out
the law and abide by the oath of Office
ed to represent the state in such
matters"
A representative of the successful
bidder obtained sample of some of
the work to be done for the labor bu-
reau, but Mr.. Maupin says the old
samples were merely guide as to the
nature of the work desired. He desires
to change his blanks and has written
the contractor that he must not de-
liver the blanks except such as print
ed in accordance with copy approved
by him. An interesting situation may
be presented if the printer insists
on printing supplies for Mr.. Maupin
without the union label. 1t may fin
ally reach the courts if any one cares
to make test case of it.
So far as known Mr.. Maupin is the
first person to ask for the union label
on state printing. Some have insisted
on having the label on printing for
their own personal use, but none have
claimed the right to require the print
ing to specify that it shall be used
on state printing. The legislature has
frequently been asked to require it to
be done, but has always failed to do
so. Governor Shallenberger will sue
coed State Treasurer Brian the first
of July. When the governors office
recently submitted estimates for state
printing no request was made to re-
quire the printer to use the union
label. He is counted on to side with
/ Mr. Maupin if a controversy is TO be
stirred up.
| The governor was placed on the
printing board by an act of the last
legislature with power to appoint a
secretary" of the state board, but the
act is considered imperative as to the
appointive power because it leaves
unrepealed a section of the statute
permitting the three members of the
board to appoint an expert printer
at salary of 81 200 a year, the very
job that the bill was designed to place
at the governors disposal.-Lincolr

LABOR TEMPLE DIRECTORS.
Failed to Meet Last Monday. But May
Meet Next Monday Evening.

The directors of the Labor Temple
Association failed to meet last Mon
day evening, but may be able to mus
ter a quorum next Monday evening.
Owing to lack of interest the proposed
Labor Temple Day" was well nigh a
failure. One enthusiastic union woman
managed to secure about 5000 in
pledges, but refused to continue when
she found she was receiving no sup
port either from her own organiza-
ton or from the directors.
1t seems strange that men who
work only eight hours a day can not
find time to devote an hour or two
a week to pushing this splendid pro-
ject. During the past two weeks.
the editor of this paper has had &C.
casion to confer with a score or more
of business men on another matter,
but in which the Labor Temple pro-
ject played some part. Here is what
they said:
Just as soon as you men show that
you mean business. you can call on us
and we'll help you. But you'll have
to go some before we'll start. It's up
to YOU"
One prominent business man said
The day you get title to a building
site you may have my check for s10(
not as subscription to stock, but
as a gift"
Another business man, a lumber
dealer said: when you get ready tc
build I'll give you the privilege of go
ing through my yards and picking ou
not less than 800 worth of buildins
material"
| Taken all together. the editor know:
of thousand dollars or more tina
will be donated by business men to
ward a Labor Temple if the wag,
earners of the city will only buck up
and show that they want a Labo
Temple bad enough to make some sac
rifices in order to get it.
But unless some more energy il
put into the project, and lot NOR
men come to the front and help push
the hills will be holes in the groun,
before real start is made.

AWARDS TO LOWEST BIDDER.
Governor May Side With Maupin and
Refuse to Approve Voucher for
Pay-Bids On Fair
Building.

Deputy Labor Commissioner Will
Maupin, editor of labor paper and an
advocate of union made goods, de-
sires to have the state furnish him
with office printed matter bearing the
union label The state printing board,
comprising Secretary of State Junkin,
State Auditor Barton and Treasurer
Brian have awarded the contracts to
the lowest bidder as required by law.
The York Black Book company, which
blanks and other Office supplies for
the labor bureau, is not a union office
and cannot use the international typo
graphical union label. Mr. Maupin
| is supposed to have control of his
Office funds which will be used to pay
for the work contracted for and he
promises to put up a lively fight for
the use of the union label on state
own department. He may do this by
refusing to approve a voucher cover
ing the claim for printing or he may
refuse to order any printing. If re
lquired to do so he may mimeograph al
of his blanks instead of accepting
the printing that does not bear the
union label.

departments for supplies for the year
