|MAH0NEY BACK FROM I. :
.PORCUP|NE COUNTRY.
Vice President of Western Fedora
ton of Miners to Visit Duluth
On Way to Denver.

c. E. Mahoney, vice president of the
Western Federation of Miners, will
arrive in Duluth tomorrow on his
way to Denver. Mr.. Mahoney has
been busily engaged for the past
month advising the members Of his
organization who are on strike in the
Porcupine country in Ontario, Can.
In a letter to The Labor World, Mr..
Mahoney states that the members of
the Western Federation of Miners at
Porcupine are putting up a gallant
struggle. Attempts have been made
to bring in strike-breakers; but they
do not stay very long, and as result
the members of the union feel greatly
encouraged. ~ ~
1t is said an attempt was made to
engage strike breakers in Duluth to
60 to the Porcupine country, but To-
cal employment agencies declare that
no men have been hired here. They
say that It is exceedingly dangerous
engaging strike breakers in the United
States to send across the boundry line
|dnto Canada. :.@ ssssa Hal hi taGs$ t

PLAN CONFERENCE
Friends Of Initiative and Referen-
dunn to Meet In Minneapolis
to Draft Bill.

A conference Of the friends of the
initiative and referendum is to be
called soon to meet in Minneapolis to
draft a model constitutional amend
ment to be presented to the legisla-
ture at it's coming session.
The State Federation of Labor has
prepared a BILL copy of which has
been sent to every member of the leg
islature. S. A. StockWell of Mime
apolis, the well-known advocate Of
direct legislation, has also prepared
a bill. 1t is probable that both meas
ures will receive the attention of the
conference.
Mr.. Stockwells bill contains many
features heretofore overlooked in tho
framing of measures of this kind. It's
principle virtue is in it's brevity.
1t is believed that the conference
will be held between Christmas and
New Years, and at that time an or
gan1zation will be perfected to work
in the legislature for the submission
to the people of the right kind of a
measure.
The friends of direct legislation do
not propose to be caught as they
were two years ago when victory was
turned into defeat before their very
eyes by false friends of the principle
of dirct legislation.
E. G. Hall and w. e. McEwen will
represent labor at the conference

best type Of men who go to make up
the trade unions of this country.

the American Federation of Labor

head Of the Machinists' union for

MINNESOTA MINERS
VOTE AGAINST BILL
Protest Against Vicious Provisions
In Minnesota Employers AS
ISOLATION Scheme.

On Sunday last a large and enthu-
siastio meeting Of iron miners was
held at Ely for the purpose Of lis-
tening to speeches on the proposed
workingmens compensation act
which Is to be introduced at the COM
Ing session of the Minnesota legisla-
ture and which was prepared by a
committee of the Minnesota E.nploy-
ers' association.
o. J. Larson Of Duluth and AL
Dogizedich of Ely were the principal
speakers. They discussed the ques-
ton of workingmen's compensation
III general and reviewed what had
been done in foreign countries.
Both speakers came out strongly
In favor Of a workingmen's compen-
sation act, but they emphatically pro
tested against the bill of the Mime
sofa Employers association. Their
three principal objections to the bill
are based as follows;
First, it Is a pure negligence bill
and compensation will not be allowed
tie Injured workman until he can
prove the employer was negligent.
Second, It discriminates against
alien workmen and does not provide
for the same compensation for the
dependents of aliens who live in
foreign countries and the dependents
who live in this country.
Third. It provides for compulsory
tax upon the wages of labor, where
a.: a just workingmen's compensation
act should place the entire financial
burden upon industry.
The meeting passed a vote Of pro-
test against the bill and preparations
We're made for the holding OF an
other meeting in the very near future
to- consider the Mercer-McEwen code.
The meeting in all probability will
be addressed by w. b. McEwen,
the editor of The Labor World, and
a member Of the Minnesota commits
sion on workingmen's compensation.

In the spring of 1910 the leather
workers Of Duluth joined in the
countrywide movement of the men,

eight-hour day in the harness indus

country, it resulted in the loss of the
local union here, and most of it's
members were obliged to leave the
city.
However, the spirit of trade union
ism was not completely dead among
the harness makers, and now there is
evidence Of new life among them and
for the first time in the history of the
local movement they have one shop at
least which has recognized their or
ganization.

excerpts from the paper read by Dr
White set forth the opportunities for
Industrial expansion in. the state.
Although net known as an ircn
ore producing state, West Virginia
nevertheless has over 100000 900 tons
OF excellent iron ores which the great
iron manufacturers will be only too
anxious to obtain Within the near fu-
ture. Our ltmestones arc b5uQdless in
extent and unexceled for pursty, be-
ing adapted to every purpose for
which lime can be utilized, from the
snowy whiteness Of plaster to that of
ordinary lime for agricultural pur-
poses.
The number Of millions of feet of
timber which formerly covered cur
hills and mountains has never been
computed, Up to 1910 there were still

containing many billion feet of spruce,
hemlock and hardwoods remaining
from our i5,75O.OOO acres originally

to be no limit in quantity, and moth

West Virginia stands just ahead Of
Pennsylvania in quantity, being fifth
in order of production, but first in
quality; while in natural gas. after
having wasted quantity amounting
TO many scores CT milollns CT dollars
in value, the state still produces fer
market more than one-third as much
as all the other states of the nation
West Virginia ought to stand next
to Pennsylvania in the production OF
iron and steel, since she is already
next to her in The production Of BIZ
luminous coal, but instead of that
she produced from her three furnaces
only 10000 tons OF pig iron, against
