OLD AGE PENSIONS

On the subject of old age pensions.
Congressman Wilson, who is one OF
the miners delegates. has drawn a.
bill to be presented at the next SEES
sion of congress. This bill Is sub
mitted by the executive council with
the approval Of the convention.
Referring to the work of the spe-
cial committee on Industrial educa-
ton, the report favors a plan of in
dustrial training which will give the
TOYS and girls such training as will
help them advance after they are in
the Industry. Reports also favor har-
mony. and extensions of the idea Of
cooperation between labor unions
and farmers organizations.
In conclusion the council SAYS: We
desire to lay the greatest emphasis
upon the primary fact that the great
central thought and intent of the
American Federation of Labor is an
improved standard of life and more
intense loyalty and devotion to the.
fundamental and original spirit VI
liberty Of thought, act and expression
to al people"

R. R. COMMISSIONS MEET
UNIFORM DEMURRAGE RULES
FREIGHT CLASSIFICATION, ETC.
TO BE DISCUSSED.
Minnesotans to Figure Prominently
in important Program
at Meeting

Washington, Nov. S.-The meetlns
of state and federal railroad commits
sioners in Washington Nov. Is Will
be followed by public discussion OF
a number of the most important prob
lens of railroad and traffic manage
ment now before the country. Cues
tions of a uniform code of demurrago
rules, uniform classification OF
freight, a proper valuation of railroad
property, and legislation necessary to
secure better railroad control will be
taken up in detail by the railroad COM
missioners during the three or four
days session.
Charles E. Elmquist of the Mime
sofa commission, is member of the
committee on uniform demurrage
rules, which has been drafting a code
of demurrage practice. Judge Mills
of the Minnesota commission is chair
man of the committee on legislation,
and Commissioner Staples is chair
man of the committee on railroad
taxes and railroad valuations.
The national association of railroad
commissioners is an important body
because of the parts its members
take in the management of railroad
matters.
The sessions this year are expected
to develop important decisions as to
practices to be followed in the future
in railroad matters. The uniform de.
murrage code, as it will be offered to
the convention for it's approval. repre-
sents the work of large committee
during the past year. of which Com
missioner Franklin X. Lane of the fed
eral commission was chairman. This
code. If it is adopted, will supersede
about 80 demurrage codes now in op-
Grafton over the various railroads,
and will bring about an important
change toward securing uniformity Of
railroad practices. The reports of
Commissioners Mills and Staples of
Minnesota have already been received
in Washington for presentation to the
convention
Associate Justice Thomas d. O'Brien
OF the Minnesota supreme court will
address the convention on the subject
OF division of earnings between state
and interstate business. Because of
his long association with the Mime
sofa rate cases his address is looked
forward to with interest.

REPORT ON INJUNCTION

The report on the injunction says:
I'VE recommend that an appeal be.
taken from the decision rendered in
both the original injunction as well
as the contempt case growing out of
1t. We cannot permit these decisions
to go unchallenged. They affect the
fundamental rights and either the
courts or congress must safeguard
them.
I'VE again enter our protest against
the application of the writ of iniun-
ton in labor disputes. (unless where
the injunction would lie if there were
no labor disputes.) We hold that the
ordinary use of the injunction writ in
contentious between workers and en-
pioyers, is an unwarranted interior
ence with the rights and liberties of
the workers, especially when they are
engaged in a struggle for improved
working conditions. 1t is fact. how
ever. that such injunctions are is

RosELLE MAKES FINE JELLY.

Introduced several years ago into
California and Florida, the roselle de-
serves wider cultivation than it now
enjoys. 1t is so simple and its require
ments so few that in the tropics and
subtropics it should be an indispensable
plant in the garden of every family.
This fact, in view of its peculiar
adaptation for jelly making, should
cause the roselle to become a plant of
considerable Importance in the United
States at no distant date. The roselle
is probably the only plant in cultiva
ton in which the part utilized for food
is the calyX.
OF rather low nutritive value, the
thickened calyx possesses excellent
qualities for the manufacture of Jelly
and allied products. Prepare lions made
from it closely resemble in color and
flavor those made from the cranberry.
1t is rather singular that its season of
maturity also comedies with that of
the cranberry.
Its excellent qualities for making a
sauce so closely initiating in flavor the
cranberry as to deceive the very elect
are not well known by the public, or it
would be a formidable rival in the
South to that fruit, on which transpor-
tatlon charges are necessarily high ow-
ing to the great distances it must be
transported The crisp and juicy ap-
| pearance of the roselle is diminished
| by being too long in the hands of the
dealer, but this does not indicate de-
terloration of its useful qualities.

In 1891 he published Zone of Our Con-
