Edward Zimmerman, R. E. Erwin and
Zachariah Wheat were the rebels who
shot our defenses to pieces with those

pitcher was blown off the slab and an
other one hung on for only one more
round. Lew Richie was the victim of
the first two slams and Fred Toney
of the other.
Their Zimmerman's home run was a
freak. for the swat was an ordinary
double just inside first base, but it hit

INTERESTS TRY HARD
TO KILL LEGISLATION
Continued from Page 1.

you see the point Mr. Workingman
Mr.. Fowler made it, and he won for
the moment, and Mr.. Fowler repre-
sents the largest labor district in the
state of Minnesota.
Now who is Representative Chas.
Fowler, and what are his connec-
tons? I have said that he was a
charming fellow with pleasing per-
sonality. This is his best asset. In
many respects he is a good member
of the legislature, but when labor
legislation is considered he is not a
good legislator, for he does not rep
resent the interests of his const1t-
uency.
How Fowler Is Connected.
Representative Fowler is a men,
Der of the law firm of Kerr & Fow-
Ter Of Minneapolis. Mr. Kerr also a
very pleasing gentleman, appears for
the firm Of Kerr & Fowler before
committees of the legislature in be-
half of an employers liability COM
pany. He not long ago appeared be-
fore our commission in behalf of this
company.
With Mr.. Kerr Of the firm of Kerr
& Fowler on the outside and with Mr.
Fowler of the firm of Kerr &, Fowler
on the inside, is it any wonder that
this legislature will not pass either
an employers liability bill or a work
ingmen's compensation act?
We Have the Facts.

criticize Representatives Klemer and
Stone for attacking the speaker OF
the house without producing the facts

fuse to boldly charge any member

special interests unless we could fur.

facts in this article. I shall have
more for the next issue.

niece ssary for them to elect a few

they are reducing their force, but, at
the same time. the men laid off
were Informed that if they ceased
their utilization with their unions
they. would be placed back at work.
The organizers state that with few
exceptions, reports from various
points are encouraging. The discharge
of the men who are members of
union resulted in the holdings of
several mass meetings and a confer
ence of the representatives of Sheet
Metal Workers, Blacksmiths, Machin-
lists, Bo1lmakers, Railway Carmen,
and the representatives of the Borth-

Is expected that the combined influ-

about the combined influence of all
organizations will bring about an un-
derstanding that will prevent discrim-
lnation on the part of the officers of
the company in the future.
1t is asserted by the men that the
company has instructed it's officers to
ask them whether or not they belong
to union, or intend to, and that in
laying them off, they should lay, off

LABOR'S NEW MEASURE

The guiding spirits Of the labor

unions in whatsoever manner directed
by these organizations.
The text has been issued of the

supported by Mr.. Ramsay MrcDon-
aid. Mr.. Enoch Edwards. Mr.. James

since he became a progressive, went
his way, paying little heed to the
chilly atmosphere about him.
The sentiment of the stand pat
tiers was best expressed by the re-
marks of Senator G. H. Sullivan of
Saltwater, who in the heat of the
moment said to friend: ''This is
a breech of senatorial courtesy, and
comes with poor grace from a
stranger granted the privilege of the
floor to discuss legislation pending
in this state" I suppose that if it
had been Senator Aldrich who had
spoken different expression would
have been had. ~.
Senate UP Against 1t.
The senate is up against it. Early
in the session the house passed the
Keefe bill, which is similar to the law
existing in Oregon. It provides for
the direct election Of United States
senators by the. people. The senate
passed the Murray bill, which is SIM
liar to the North Dakota law, but
which differs little from the present
method of ececting senators.
The Murray bill was rejected by the
house. and now it is up to the SEN
ate to either pass the Keefe bill or
kill it. In other words the senate
is obliged to go. on record either for
or against the election of senators by
direct vote Of the people.
Politicians Are Busy j.
The old school Of politicians is
VERY much alarmed about the situa-
ton. 4 It is indeed a critical moment
for political bosses, ana they are
bending every effort to kill the Keefe
bill. All Of the emissaries of the old
machine have been SUMMONED to St
Paul. Lee Wilcutts and Eb. Hawkins
are down from Duluth, and they are
unusually active about the Hobbies. 81
Lee Wilcutts was introduced TO

SEAMEN'S ORGANIZATION
ON THE GREAT LAKES

With the opening of transportation
on the Great Lakes. the seamen's
strike, now two years old, revives.
The nature of this strike is explained
in the Coast Seamen's Journal, a.
publication which has a deserved re-
putation for fairness and which says
of the strike that:
It is a fight against the Steel
trust. The Lake Carriers association
is dominated by the Pittsburg Steam
ship company. 1T is the Pittsburg
Steamship company, the Steel trust
fleet, that dictates the policy of other
shipowners in that association
The shipowners fellow the trust, part
ly because they hope to be able to
secure much cheaper labor if the trust
can destroy the unions. The deter
mlnation of the union men, on the
other hand, is a result of their un-
derstanding that" defeat for them
means either slavery or exile 80.
The real issue in this great struggle
of labor against capital, humanity
against money. can be briefly stated.
It is this: shall the seaman who
sails the Great Lakes be permitted
to earn enough wages and to- work
under. conditions that will enable him
to support a family?" The Lake Car
riers' association says no. The Sea-
! mems unions say Yes!
To secure fair pay, the seamen of
| the Great Lakes organized. Their
wages then rose above the starvation
point. But the organized ship owners
decreed the dissolution of the sea-
| mems organization, and on this issue
| the strike began. Which side are
you on? r.:
