committee. It is asserted that Mr..
Henry will press the bill for immedi-
ate consideration before the commit
tee on judiciary. Violation of the
law is made felony with imprison-
ment in the penitentiary of from two
to ten years.
The bill exempts from the <2era-
tion of the law members of organ
izations or associations not formed
for profit and without capital stock,
and agricultural products or live
stock in the hands of the producer
or raiser. This latter exemption has
been what the American Federation
of Labor has been contendlng for.
and If this exemption is enacted into
law the Sherman Antitrust law can
then be enforced according to the
original Intentions of those, who for
mulated and sought its passage.
It. is, further stated that the judi
ciary committee of the house has de-
cided upon, a revision of, the injunc-
ton statutes and the laws regulating

viding trial by jury in cases of in

It may be remarked that very
shortly after Mr.. Hall reached Win

are pleased at the terms of the settle

Penny Provident Fund Organized
In Duluth Good People Be
hind Plan.
SEVERAL SCHOOLS HAVE
COME IN ON NEW SCHEME
Splendid Opportunity to Teach
Children How to Begin to
~ Save Money.

Duluth children are saving money.
Through the establishment of
Penny Provident fund in this city only
a few days ago and as yet in it's In
fancy as to organization, the sum Of
1900 has already been turned in by
l45 enthusiastic youngsters who have
mad 1nstilled in them a desire to save
the pennies that would otherwise be
spent at the corner candy store.
Through the efforts Of Miss Jean
Poirier and the local society known
as the Kings Daughters, the fund has
been established. While it has been
as yet installed in but few Of the
schools, time will bring them all in
and the youth of Duluth will try to
rival the record made by Minneapolis
children when last year they saved
over $4,000.
Miss P0irier Is Banker.
The central bank is in the office Of
the deputy state factory inspector. Miss
Poirier Is a sort of bank president.
She keeps the records Of the savings
of the Duluth children.
When the plan was first introduced
In. Duluth the Kings Daughters vol
unteered to donate the needed $25
with which to purchase the stamps
needed for the system. The stamps
were purchased and the system is in
full working order at the present
time so far as it has been established.
Each child is given a book and ev-H
cry time he deposits nickel with his
school teacher. he gets a stamp for
the amount which he pastes in his
bank book. The total Of the stamps
shows how much the child has saved.
He is at liberty to draw 1t out at any
time az the staupps4 ara good To-. their.

Boys and Girls Come In.
Already .145. Zenith City boys and
girls have accounts with the Duluth
Provident bank. AS yet branches
have been stablished at only the Y.
w. C. A. the Irving school, the Ma6l!-
son and the Bryant. An organizer
will visit the other schools soon and
try to interest the children.
AT the last meeting of the principals
of the various schools the system was
explained and every one of them were
enthusiastic to have it established in
his particular school.
For Working Children Also.
The system is not wholly for school
children but for working boys and
girls and those older who desire to
save a small amount at time
Any one may have books ana save
as much at a time as he or she de-
sires. One working boy in Duluth
started in recently to save for q suit
Of clothes and almost before he knew
it. he had saved 50 and the amount
purchased him a suit Of which he is
very proud. .a.s u <s#ss #

F. H. F1jozdal, general chairman
of the Maintenance of Way commit
tee of the Canadian Northern Rail-
road company, after travelling all
through the great northwest country
and sizing up conditions, writes the
Labor World from his home at War
road in this state of the good results
Of organization. -.s.a.z>. a..
In his communication, he states
that in. the organized districts, the
foremen are: receiving from SIS to
1913 per month while in the unorgan-
lied districts the men get from SIS to
$65. He states that the raise in the
condition of the men IS due absolutely
to organization.

s"On the Canadian Northern and
Cana dian Pacific" writes Mr.. Fljoz-
dal, "our foremen are receiving SIS
to $98 a month with time and half
for over time and Sunday labor. La
borers receive $500 per day with over

ION the Great Northern the fore
men receive 355 to. $e5 a month,

1925 to $3.50 straight time.
II am in hopes that the State Fed
GRAFTON of Labor will send organizers
to these men. The men are ripe for
organization and q strong organiza-
ton could be formed among them.
Their condition is deplorable when
we consider the increase in the cost

These democrats who can find no
satisfaction in the prospect of their
party's triumph that does MT include
tie reputation ard humiliation Of
PIT. whereas actually there
can be no triumps if Mr. Bryan te re-
undated and humiliated will doubt.
I L IS be disanpointod at the good
sense and moderation shown by the
Ne r2skan in his acceptance of the
determination Of tie democratic
mort ers Of the house to retain the
wool schedule in the tariff bill they
are making against his insistence
that the wool should be kept on the
free list, says the Charleston Post.
Asked for his opinion on the action
of the democrats in refusing to be
moved by his demand that the tariff
be taken off raw wool completely, Mr..
Bryan said.
The bill is better than any repub-
lican ill we have ever had. The
oaly objection that | have to it is
hat II does not go far enough. be-
lieye il would have been better if
they had put wool on the free sched-
NE and made greater reduction in
tie rates on wooden goods than they
did. A democrat can criticize it for
MT going far enough while rejoicing
thst il went as far as ii did"
Which is excellently said, and in
full sympathy with the spirit of har-
nnony and reasona1 le concession
which characterizes the democratic
councils and promises success to the
party's undertakings. Mr.. Bryan was
undoubtedly right in principle in his
demand that wool be put on the free
list and many of those who have been
condemning him so violently for in

In accepting the situation as he has
accented it, and commencing the

good temper and moderation and has
set an example that might be follow
