FOR APPRAISAL
OF THE MINES
OSBORN BELIEVES PRIVATE EN-
olNEER SHOULD BE APP
POINTED FOR THE
WORK.

Governor Osborn returned to the
city Wednesday and in discussing the
matter of hiring an expert to appraise
the mining properties of the state
said:
"I believe a private mining engineer
of high ethics should be selected, not
a member of the faculty of any min
ing school. Our mining school is' as
good as there is in the world, but the
members of it's board of control are
all men interested in mines. and while
they are of the highest grade, they
agree with me that their school should
rot take up this work for the state.
"On the other hand. I do not think
the state should go to another col
lege. for that might to an extent de-
tract from the prestige OF our school,
and we do not want to do that For
that reason believe we should secure
private engineer to do the work"
Supreme Court Justices.
Speaking of the action of the De-
troit Bar association in appointing a
committee to seek way to test be-
fore the supreme court the constitu-
tionality of the act requiring the jur-
tices to reside in Lansing. Governor
Osborn said:
II am glad the bar association has
taken this question up. II ought to be
matter of satisfaction for every citi-
zen. ANY move to increase the effi-
cheney of the court or enhance its dig
nifty should have our support, but the
maint point in my veto message was
overlooked by those members of the
association who advocate this move
and that is that acted because cer-
tain members of the court have vio-
lated this law which has never been
declared unconstitutional. I am salts
fed to have the question tested"
| Won't Discuss u.
The matter has attracted consider
able attention here. Members of the
court will not discuss II. An examin-
alton of the section In question reveals
that n also includes the provision
granting the justices a salary of $1,000
a year, but lawyers say the court could

TAILORS TALK
OF SECESSION
MAY WITHDRAW FROM UNITED
GARMENT WORKERS AND
FORM INDEPENDENT
NATIONAL UNION.

Philadelphia, Pa, May 12.-'Results
OF an important and far-reaching
character in the world of organized
labor may follow the conference be-
gun in this city today by representa- :
tives of the tailors' Unions throughout
the country. Upon the decisions Of the
conference depends the question as to
whether the tailors shall secede from
the United Garment Workers of Amer
lea. with which organization they are
now affiliated, and form a national un-
ion OF their own which shall he inde-
pendent of the other garment t-working
crafts. Incidentally, according to gos-
sip that has gained wide circulation,
the conference may lead to a general
strike of the tailors before the close
OF the coming summer.
Differences tong Standing.
The differences between the tailors
and the United Garment Workers are
of long standing. These differences
were accentuated by the strike of the
garment. workers in Chicago last win
ter. II Is said that the tailors of the
country were almost unanimously in
favor of calling a general strike. but
the national council Of the United
Garment Workers would not counte-
nance such move. The dissatisfied
tailors thereupon proposed to withdraw
from the parent organization and form
what, il is said, will be known as the
United Tailors' Association. Whether
or not the proposed organization is to
become an accomplished fact depends
upon the results of the present con-
ference.
May Demand Better Terms.
Little is actually known as to the
strength of the secession movement
among the tailors of the country. While
many of the local organizations un-
doubtedly favor the idea of separate
organization the unions in other cities
are said to be disinclined to leave the
United Garment Workers. According
to one report. the declaration of inde-
pendence of the tailors will be pre-
ceded by a demand upon the United
Garment Workers that the tailors be
allowed to have an organization of
their own. and that this organization
he given a representation OF six men,
bers on the general executive board OF
the United Garment Workers. The
constitution of the United Garment
Workers provides that each affiliated
organization shall have pro rata rep
resentation. based upon the number OF
organized members. The tailors pro-
badly will demand that the representa-
tion of six members be granted. whe-
ther or not they have the requisite
number of organized members.

LEARNING-THEN DOING.
(By the Rev. Charles stelzle.) }

(By the Rev. Charles Stelzle.)
The criticism has been made against
the church that one may secure the pas
sage of social resolutions by the score
at any church convention, that these res
olutions are the work of some man who
dared to challenge the church, and the
church not caring to oppose, simply swal-
lowed them at one gulp, but with no
thought that anything would ever be
done with them And it has been as
serted that the church will never bring
about the great social reforms which are
pressing, until few strong, fearles men
are willing to sacrifice everything. If
need be, to accomplish the objects which
are very clearly set forth in our conven-
tion-passed resolutions; and to these the
church itself will bring the most bitter
suffering.
But this is not altogether true. With
all the failings of the church-and they
are many-it has, on the whole, desired
to fulfill it's functions. The changed con-
ditions, especially in our great cities,
have perplexed not only the churches
but other social reformers. They have
broken the hearts of men both inside
and outside the church. Even when one
puts forth his best endeavors, the people
are so unresponsive. This is true in the
labor world as well in the church.
There's many an honestsminded labor
leader who has suffered untold agony be-
cause of the ingratitude and bitterness
of the rank and file. Often have they re-
solved to quit the whole business, on
this account
The church is honestly trying to read
just its methods, adapting them to mod
ern conditions-which conditions, by the
way, have been of comparatively recent
development The institutional church.
while it by no means solves the social
problem, is an honest attempt on the
part of the church to meet the social
needs of the people of the community.
The plan of the exchange of fraternal
delegates between central labor unions
and ministerial associations now in op-
GRAFTON in nearly two hundred cities. was
inaugurated so that the ministers in par
ticuar might become familiar with the
social and economic needs of the work
ingman. The sociological surveys en-
gagged in by the various denominations
in both the city and the country are fur
ther indications of the church's desire
to know the real conditions of the people.
And to know these conditions is the first
step. Labor can help the church in this
respect by cheerfully cooperating with it
when the church wants accurate in
formation

MeeAuRAN SPEAKS AT ASSEMBLY
The Supervisor Attacks Special Privilege
and Monopoly.

Supervisor John McGauran was in
vited to speak before the Trades and
Labor Assembly Sunday by the commit
tee on publications and lectures.
Mr.. McGauran spoke for 30 minutes
on a subject that is most interesting to
the laboring men and women-"Special
Privilege"
The speaker said that the fight was
not against property but against special
privilege He said that special privilege
should not be looked at as property, for,
he said, it should not be confounded as
such because it was not property but
was, merely special privilege granted
by the government by which the citizen
might be held up and robbed.
Mr. McGauran spoke of the franchise
of the Tramway, which, he said, had
been stolen from the city and then bonds
issued on watered stock to the amount
of $2O,000,000 and sold.
He dwelt in most part on the contro-
versy with the Telephone company in
the city council. He said that the tele-
phone company was using the streets
and alleys of the city without fran
chise An effort, he said, would be made
in the council to get the company to deal
fairly with the city; but, he said, in the
event of failure along this line in the
council the matter would be brought be-
fore the people of Denver and they would
be asked to deal justly with the COM
pany. so that the great invention of the
telephone would not be monopolized but
would be of benefit to all mankind
He touched on the giving of franchises
TO corporations that they might tax the
people for the use of some great inven-
ton or public utility.
Mr. McGauran said that the WORKING
PEOPLE the plain people-are the real
employers, the foundation of the govern
ment and that it was to them that the
eyes of the world are turning to lead the
race out of the wilderness that is fos-
tered by special privilege.
The supervisor spoke well, and was
many times interrupted by applause

MITCHELL QUITS FEDERATION.

John Mitchell. former president of the
United Mine Workers of America, and
recently chairman of the trade agree
ment department of the National Civic
Federation, Wednesday made public his
resignation of his Office and membership
in the latter. 1t was announced that
President Seth Low of the Civic Fedora
ton had accepted the resignation to take
effect at the close of the present month.
Mitchell's severance of relations with
the Civic Federation follows the stand
recently taken by the United Mine Work
ers of America in declaring that any
member of their organization accepting
a position with the National Civic FEEDER
alton would thereby forfeit membership
in the union.
His letter of resignation says:
1T is needless to say that / regret the
action of the miners convention-not so
much that II requires me to choose be-
tween the two organizations, as because
of the unjust and gratuitous attack upon
the National Civic Federation, which has
stood consistently as an advocate of
righteousness and industrial peace

that the people could be educated to do
