and transacted a large volume of
business of interest to the craft. .
Every one present expressed his

venomous trial judge who sentenced
the leaders Of organized labor and
supplemented mis- sentence with a vim

of unionism In general, would now
either take to the woods, or soak lis
head in the briny waters Of the At

The union was addressed by John

Chubbuck is an interesting and con-

union was much appreciated by all

Frank G. Beaudoin, the newly in

upon the most intricate parts of the
machines they are operating, their
mechanical construction, how to care
against accidents and breakage and
generally how to run the machine
with the highest possible success.

.. WAsHINGTON,,D D. c., May .1s.-
The protest of millions mas been
heard in Washington. M II. I
Robert l.. Henry, chairman Of the
house committee on rules. has notified
Representative Berger, the Socialist
member of congress, that the COM
mittee will. at its next meeting, con-
slider the Berger resolution providing
for congressional investigation Of
the kidnapping Of the Mcnamara
brothers. - " -
Since the introduction of this re-
solution, hundreds of letters and re-
solutions from all over the country
nave been received by Henry and
other members Of congress, urging an
investigation Of the Indianapolis out
rage.
On May II, Berger wrote tne fol-
lowing letter to Chairman Henry:
"As you probable know, the arrest
and cxtradition of John J. Mcnamara
has aroused great indignation
throughout the country. I may say
that I, have now on, file. formal reso-
lutions protesting against this action
and demanding an investigation.
signed by the Representatives of prob
ably one million men. The urgent
Importance Of this matter prompts
me to ask you if the committee on
rules has considered it, and if there
is any likelihood that the committee
will arrange q hearing, wherein the
circumstances of the episode may be
fully investigated 80
TO this letter, Henry replied on
May Is, as follows: -.
Permit me to acknowledge receipt
of your letter of the 18th instant re-
lating to the resolution introduced
by you for "a investigation of the
Mcnamara affair. At the next meet
ing of the committee snail lay this
matter before the members for. such
action as may be deemed advisable.
There will probably be meeting Of
the committee at some early date
next week." s#-2s.:
It is advisable to continue sending
Endorsements of the Berger. resolution
until the committee has formally de-
cided to report out this measure.
Let the protest cease only when
favorable, action IT'S taken by the
house.
These letters and resolutions should
he sent to Chairman Henry of the
house rules committee and to your
respective members of congress.

GLAD TO SEE HIM
EVEN FOR A MINUTE

The Labor World acknowledges
with great pleasure a call from it's
distinguished friend Harry L. Dix Of
Minneapolis, former president of the
Minnesota State Federation of Labor,
and who also enjoys the distinction
of having officiated more continuous
terms as president of the Allied Print
Trades Council of Minneapolis than
any other who has filled the chair.
Comrade Dix, as the Socialists
would say. is now the Northwestern
agent of the Queen City Printing Ink
Co., Of Cincinnati. and it is not neces-
sary to tell those who know "comrade
Dix that he is making a success Of
the business. A man of his push,
energy and perseverance makes a
success of everything he undertakes.

representatives of union labor at the
state capitol got benind it.
How Bill VS. Introduced.
We were prompted in our advocacy
of the bill by the. fact that the en-
ployers would only concede max
imum of 5000 to be paid for ac-
cidental death TO employees under a
workingman's compensation act. This
sum was based on the fact that there
existed in Minnesota law fixing the
maximum amount that could be re-.
covered for death by wrongful act at
$1,000. * 4 80: ~ T
The employers fought this: bill
more desperately than any other
measure before the legislature. They
drive industries out of, the state. This
statement was made notwithstanding
the fact that all Of the states SUR
rounding Minnesota have no limitation
placed upon the amount that can be
recovered for death by wrongful act.
y Labor Not the Real Beneficiary. &
Labor Isl not the only beneficiary
sof the Lundeen act. In fact the la
borer in very few cases now receives
anything near the amount allowed
under the former law. In 81 cases
lin Minnesota Investigated by the.
Bureau Of Labor last year, only two
received 5000. Two other received
$4,000: two received $1,000 and one
received $1,000. The average amount
paid to the descendants Of the 81 men
killed in Minnesota was 1886, This SIS
sreckoned to be the average price paid
for q human life by the Industries
Of MINI esota. 81. .a i.
L Who Are the Beneficiaries?
But the real benef1ciaries Of the
Lundeen act will be the high priced
laborers, l. sucn as locomotive on
gineers. fremen. conductors and.
tbrakemen, engaged IN occupations
with which Mr.. Herzog and his fol-5
lowers have no connection. and travel
