Direct ELECTION OF

Compromise Which May

May Be Acceptable.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.-It is quite
likely that a compromise may be ef-
fected whereby congress will submit
to the people an amendment to the
federal constitution providing for di-
rect election of United States senator's
by the people.
Senator Clark of Wyoming, who
heads the senate conferees, has sub
mitted to the members of the confer
ence, a compromise, which is as fol-
lows: THE senate of the United
States shall be composed of two SEN
ators from each state, elected by the
people thereof, for six years, and each
senator shall have one vote.
The electors in each state shall
have the qualifications requisite for
electors of the most numerous branch
of the state legislature.
THE compromise also proposes an
other amendment as follows: "The
times, places and manner of holding
elections for representatives shall be
prescribed in each state by the leg
islature thereof, but the congress may
at any time by law make or alter such
regulations. The times, places and
manner of holding elections for SEN
ators shall be prescribed in each
state by the legislature thereof"

REPUBLICAN, VOTERS OF
SOUTH FOR LA TOILETTE
Farcical Methods Employed to

WASHINGTON, u. c.. Jan. 2s.-.
The La Toilette boom is punctured
only in the minds of those admin
istration followers who are most anx-
iouss to puncture but who failed to
accomplish their purpose: i
ellison Gardner, one of the most
prominent political writer's in Wash
ington, recently expressed desire to
observe at first hand the manner in
which the Taft administration mani
pulates the patronage brigade for the
purpose of having itself endorsed and
also for the purpose of securing del
.egates to the Republican national
convention. II = to- - il: = = ..Ssf
In travelling through the country
Mr.. Gardner was struck by the en-
thusiasm Of the rank and file OF
republicans in organizing La Toilette
clubs. He was curious, therefore, to
see how the Taft folks did things.
Accordingly he went to Roanoke,
Virginia, to attend a meeting of the
Republican state committee of that
state. Here is Mr.. Gardner's report
of his observations: =

tour through Minnesota Immediately
after the annual meeting of the State
Editorial association at Minneapolis
in February. He expects to make a

HATTERS TRIUMPH IN
LONG WAGED CONTEST
Big Fight Started Against Union
Four Years Ago Finally
Won by Hatters.
Travelling Organizer to Visit Du-
luth Soon-Has Your Hat
the Union Label?
ntinued ON PAGE. Three.

How many union hats are there in
Duluth?
There is perhaps no organization
that has battled more persistently to
have only union made hats worn tha IN
the United Hatters of North America.
The battle for the label began in
1908. At that time 125 manufacture
ers refused to allow the label in the
hats. The men refused to work with
out it.
In the beginning 5000 men walked
out. On Oct. 1S, 1910, the troubles
were settled and in most OF the
factories the label was restored.
Abe Gansler. who represents the
United Hatters of North America,
Will be in Duluth soon to wage a war
for the wearing Of union hats.
During the struggle Of the hatters
more than $4,000 was paid in lock-
out benefits. Of this amount $215,-
900 was contributed by affiliated
locals of the American Federation Of
Labor.
The hatters have restored the la
bel in nearly every factory in the
United States and all employees Of
the factories are now working under
fair union conditions. This only,
however, after one of the most Bit
ter labor fights ever waged
great many men in Duluth wear
only union hats. Organized labor as
rule insists on getting union made
goods Of what ever kind they hap

matters should be encouraged in their
fight for their label The fight should
be extended along other lines. If
all insisted on the label in every
thing purchased, the workmen Of the
country in the many lines would be
about as happy and as progressive a
lot Of people as it would be possible
to find.
Says Mr.. Gansler in a letter to the
Duluth unions:
We hatters consider the union la
pei the only distinguishable mark by
which a purchasing public can Judge
goods made under fair or unfair con-
dltlons. find that nearly every
halter in the cities I visit carries
union made hats. X T. &r

/ by in Duluth. : -.-.:,s.@:s**- ,.s- s::e =

H. w. Libby of Winona, formerly
vice president Of the Minnesota State
Federation of Labor and a former
member of the state legislature, was
Duluth visitor during the week. i
At the present time Mr.. Libby is
chairman of the Machinists' adjust
ment committee of the Chicago &
Northwestern railroad.
Mr.. Libby spent some time while
at the Head of the Lakes at Itaska
and Old Superior among the shop en-
ployes. These men are we'll orga.
nized.
Being a Winona man and thor
oughly acquainted with the street car
strike in that city Mr.. Libby was
asked to tell for the benefit of the
readers of the Labor World of the
real facts concerning the strike,
Ihere has been much printed about
the matter which was untrue. It
was no doubt done to prejudice the
public against the men who are maxi
ing an honest endea@or to have their
working hours shortened and their
pay slightly increased.
Mr.. Libby says that the winona.
situation is unique in many respects,
Lately the men have given IN fight
ing Tor time. 1t is too cold to
operate busses, it is said.
During the strike the residents OF
Wlnona backed up the men by re.
tus1ng to ride upon the street cars
operated by non-union workers.
The residents of the city either
walked or patronized the busses oper-
ated by the men on strike.
1t is thought by those who claim
to be on the inside Of the Winona,
trouble that the strike was forced
by the receiver of the company, act
ing in the interest of stock holders,
who wished to diminish the value of
the stock and bonds and bid them
In at a low figure.
The plan was to. buy up the stock
and bonds after they had depreci-
ated and reorganize the company,
thereby making thousands of dollars
1or those in on the deal. The mai
orltv OF Winona residents are in COM
piete sympathy with the strikers and
claim that the scheme was a careful
~ concocted form at ."frenzied fin
ance' manufactured for the benefit
OF the stockholders and the detriment
Of labor. -
The strike was forced by the re-
celver of the Winona Street Railway
company who discharged the presf-
dent and secretary of the union simp-
~ because they were union men. The
men demanded the reinstatement Of
their union officials, and this the
company refused to do. The walk )
out of the men followed. ~,
AS soon as the weather becomes
warmer, the union men plan to again
put their buses in operation and the
public will then be asked to -help
them get back their positions under
fair conditions. -. i !. s:..s s:..., ~
AS the sympathy of: the residents
OF the city is almost entirely with the
