The resolution published in the
morning. papers as coming from tho
Utah Federation OF Labor. and pledg-
ing that body and the City Federation

bition or local option" measure has
stirred up considerable feeling among

for or against such a measure. Said
a prominent member OF both the
state and City Federations this morn
ing: this matter has been up before
the Federation before. at which time
Il brought out a great deal OF dis
cussion, there being a diversity of
opinion among the members regard
ing prohibition local option, ana
high license, and finally the matter
was referred 20 the legislative COM
mittee. the understanding being that
the report OF It's findings IN the
matter would be returned 10 the gem
eral assembly at our next meeting
which takes place on tho night or
January 22. at which time the mem
bers would pass upon the matter, As
&c now stands neither the city Fedora

10 would appear from the above that
an attempt had been made 20 commit

brewery workers from Ogden made
their presence felt at the meeting and
took part in the discussion.
The Utah Federation OF Labor has
always been considered a conservative
body. and one that stands for the
best Interests OF tho commonwealth

OPPOSE STAMPING EXACT
SIZE ON W0MEN'S SHOES

Chicago. Jan. IA proposition Of
the National Boot and Shoe manufac-
turers In convention I'm New York to
stamp exact sizes on women's shoes. has
awakened opposition on the part OF
Chicago retail dealers. They say thai
the plan will not do here. and from
what they know OF the nature Of the
fair sex, It will not do anywhere.
At present but few womeu's shoes
are marked with sizes to the public
The shoe dealer has his own private
marks.
we deceive no one IN regard TO the
material or size" said one dealer. IF
a woman calls for shoe three sizes too
small she viii get il il she insists. But
We first measure her and see II she does
not want the shoe that fits She does
not know what size IL is. II she wants
Il to pinch. that r. none OF our busl-
ness. Most women have no idea as
TO what size OF shoe they are wearing
The majority OF women are vain in
regard 20 their shoes. They buy shapes
that make the foot look smaller.
do not think the association will take
any such action. ii would only make
trouble for the dealers and do no good. d"
Tho consensus OF opinion was voiced
by one critic In these words;
II think to satisfy the women that
are vain ii would be a good plan to fol-
low the old custom OF leaving the
marks on the shoes unintelligible TO tho
women. That satisfies both Sides"

upon one corporation for alleged dis
Criminations in rates and charges,
when there are others which are just
as liable TO such charges as are the
railroads.
u my I'm mind. the electric light
companies, gas companies. telephone,
telegraph and express companies, ana
other corporations providing utilities
used by the public, should have as
much regulation as the railroads ln
my town the biggest thing in the
shape of a graft IS the charges the

is what IL looks to me Ike this legis-
