Of his previous performances In this
department of his work, we should
do, in our opinion, scant justice to,
the subject, for we candidly believe
this report is the best he has eveFj
made to the State Federation of La;
Dor, and taken In connection with
his entertaining, instructive and
thoroughly enjoyable address to the
convention at the session Of Tuesday,
afternoon, in which he described
features Of his European trip and
portrayed the conditions of labor in
the countries he visited, he has given
the State Federation of Labor the
best account Of official stewardship
ever rendered at any time Of which
we have knowledge. ],

lowed accession to high office to
swell his head and forget the men
side by side. with whom he has
fought and suffered when he was
carrying his little pack of plum bling
tools around Duluth streets. u

Whereas, by this means the state
labor bureau has become conspicuous
in the public view and a potential in

has attracted the attention of the
whole country as one of the broad
