WOMEN WORKERS AT
LEEDS ON BIG STRIKE

LEEDS, England, Dec. 27.-The
women workers in a large wholesale
clothing establishment have been on

Nearly 500 women were involved,
and their places could not be filled.
AS a result, a conference was held
between the representatives of the
strikers and the firm, and a substan-
tial advance in wages has been Sc
cured.

LITERACY TEST BILL
ASSURED OF PASSAGE

WASHINGTON, Dec. 27.-The pas
sage Of legislation prescribing a liter
acy test for prospective immigrants in
to the United States by both house and
senate at the coming session of con-
gress is predicted by Representative
Burnett of Alabama, chairman Of the
house immigration committee.
Representative Burnett asserts that
he has been assured of enough v%tes
in the house to pass the measure, and
also that there. was but little op-
position in the senate.

If such a principle, wrong as it may
be, is but temporarily admitted and
it is suffered to be written upon the
statute books Of this state, it will re-
main there for years and years to
come.
"A Hole to Crawl Through
While nothing has been said about
1t thus far, there will be still another
objection to the bill Of the employ
ers. This objection will be to the
general principle Of the bill which
makes 1t an elective measure and not
compulsory. At all times the employ
err will have the right to say whether
or not he desires to come under the
act, and il he chooses not to do so,
he may resort to the old common
law remedy, but he will be denied the
right to set up such defenses as the
assumption Of risk, contributory neg
lfgence, or the negligence of a fellow
servant. However, before the en-
ployer can be held liable, the burden
of proof will be upon the injured en-
ploye to show that the employer was
negligent.
So it can be seen that the employ
ers' association bill is very adroitly
drawn double-barrelled negligence
bill. 1t is So deceptive that it is not
believed, the legislature will give it
serious consideration.
The State Bar association at it's last
annual meeting held at Minneapolis
in August Endorsed the workingmen's
compensation code proposed by Com
missioners Mercer and McEwen to the
last legislature: This bill is not a
negligence bill;> it does not place any
financial burden upon labor, nor does
it distinguish between foreign de-
pendents and dependents residing in
the United States. -.
Its Best Feature.
Its best feature is in the fact that
it is a compulsory measure and COM
pels payment automatically to injured
workmen and the dependents Of
worknaen who have met death at their
occupations and without the neces-
sity Of going through an expensive
law suit. There will be nothing for
the injured employe to prove except
that he was injured, and the char
acter and. extent of his injury.
The compensation provided for in
this bill is generally recognized as
being very low. However, this is
nothing to quarrel over now for it is
believed the legislature can be induced
to provide for an adequate and just
compensation: The main thing about
any compensation act, so far as la
Dor and the general public are con-
cerned, is to see that the correct prin-
ciple is adopted, and every injured
employe is given his Just compensa-
ton as speedily as possible, and with
out cost to him.
The sentiment for workingmen's
compensation is growing in favor in
Minnesota. The people will see to it
that none. but an honest, fair and
just bill is passed. and any effort on
the part Of any group Of men to fasten
upon the workmen a bill that is not
sound In principle nor Just in it's con-
sideration Of the injured workmen.
will be given needed and deserving
rebuke.

NEW YEAR (1e13).

What dost thou bring in the sable
folds
or thy seamless robe; o glad New
year? So
On thy brink we stand in the border
While our hearts are fluttering
'twixt hope and fear.
We laid her to rest in her snowy vest
The good old year with her fruits
and flowers,
With her smiles and tears, with her
hopes and fears,
And her grave hides loves We once
thought ours.
: New Year, We greet thee; though in
tears we greet thee,
Smile thou upon us as the days go
While On thy brink let us pause to
think,
Do we improve as the seasons fly?
Thou hast wealth untold in some hid
den fold
OF thy summer vestments, Oh. hap
ny year,,
For the young. and gay thou hast
smiling May
And fair June roses for love to wear.
Only one boon would I crave thus
soon
/, From thy regal bounty, Oh! bright
New year;
Teach me dauntless Truth, That to
age and youth
Lends deathless charms all devoid
of fear.
That when done with time, in the
dawn sublime,
The infinite glory Of Eternity
Having won the race, I may find a
place
In the home Eternal, prepared for

NEWS FROM OUR
NATIONAL CAPITAL
Passage Of Parcels Post Bill
by Congress Regarded as
Almost Certain.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. providing
for a general parcels post throughout
the United States and it's possessions,
except the Philippine Islands, virtually
is certain to be enacted by the present
congress, perhaps before the conclu-
sion of this session. in the opinion of
Postmaster-General Hitchcock.
In the judgment of the officers of
the postal service, the new bill repre-
sents the most scientific plan yet de-
vised for a parcels post. 1t provides
for parcels service throughout the
country on both rural routes and city
carrier routes. 1t consolidates the
third and fourth classes of mail mat
ter and raises the weight limit of par
GELS to IL pounds.
The rate to be charged for articles
carried in the rural route service and
city carrier service is five cents for the
first pound or fraction of a pound and
one cent for each additional pound or
fraction of a pound. For the general
parcels post service, which covers all
mail transportation other than local
delivery by rural or city carriers, grad
uated rates would be fixed based on
distance.

CONVENTION is CALLED
Republicans Demand That Platform
be Explicit.

Boise.-The next political event in
the almost continuous program for
this state is the republican platform
convention, the official call for which
has just been issued by State Chair
man Heitman, setting the date for the
convention in Boise as June 25. The
platform on which candidates go be-
fore the people for nomination at the
primaries July 81 will be promulgated
at this time. There is already a de-
mand that the platform to be adopted
under the provisions of the primary
law be a strong one, taking a firm
stand. not only on state. but national
issues.
The q counties In the state will,
prior to June 25, select delegates to
the platform committee through their
respective county committees. Col
lectively the counties will elect 1SO
delegates entitled to seats in the state
convention.
The number of delegates each coun.
ty IL entitled to in the platform con-
vention is as follows: Ada Is, Adams

Both Count on UnpIedged Delegation.
The trouble, both with President
Taft and with Colonel Roosevelt, is
that they are counting on delegates
who are not pledged and in some in
stances are not even morally commit
ted to either or to any candidate. And
equal uncertainty really exists with
regard to quite few of the southern
delegates. For the Taft managers are
counting as safe all the negro dele
gates instructed for or pledged to the
president, while the Roosevelt mana
gers are claiming not few of these
same identical negroes, stating that
they do not intend to abide by their
sstructions.
Leaders of both factions, despite op-
timistic statements, were plainly wor-
ried. 1t 81 evident to disinterest-
ed observers that the outcome of
the convention will be determined
by "a margin so small that SEN
ator La Toilette may hold the balance

fess to believe that the Taft men, if
Taft cannot be nominated, will throw
their support to La Toilette.
