issued by the U. S. A. Statistical De
partment This report deals with the
changes which have. taken place in
the wage and in the work-time in a
of trades during the years
19O7-1912. AS is pointed out by the
Statistician in this report, the work
of the trades unions has resulted In
wages being increased in 40 selected
trades in 80 important industrial
centres, and the work-time reduced.
Especially CONSPICUOUS are the sue
cesses won by the makers. The wage
increase for the chieft journeymen
was % per cent and for the second
journeymen 26.6 per cent. for the
third iourneymen 40.7 per cent and

were referred to the national organi-
cations for consideration. AS regards
the question of fixing wage and labor
conditions in tariff agreements there
are differences of opinion.
Germany. Denmark and Sweden re-
commend this method, since the right
of the worker to be consulted and the
recognition of the organization are
secured. On the other hand, England
and France were opposed to tariff
agreements inasmuch as they proved
to be hindrance to the organizations
by interfering with the freedom of
action in the matter of wage and
other movements. The International
Secretary was commissioned to col
lect copies of tariff agreements which
have been drawn up, as well as to
collect any other information apper-
tanning to this question and to lay
these before the next Congress to-
gether WithSnotes on the attitude ia
ken 1p>5Bwards this matter by the
sePafate national organizations. The
question of the legal rights Of work.

most important matters discussed, es

AIRY ATTRACTION,

One Of the features OF the Mid
Winter fair if the other meat markets
in Devils Lake carry out the sugges.
tion is the weiner wurst contest pro-
posed by Kirchoff & Cooper.
The idea is to see how many ''wein.

shops can turn out in an hours time.
The best calculators state that hun
dred pounds an hour after the meat is
chopped is good record, but whether
this can be accomplished by single

be seen at the Mid-Winter Fair if the
challenge Of the 'Made in Devils

FULL TEXT OF THE
MESSAGE AS READ

WASHINGTON. June 23.-Following Is
the full text OF the message on currency
reform read by President Wilson to the
Joint session of the senate and house:
Mr. Speaker, Mr. President, Cen
temen OF the Congress: II is under
the compulsion OF what seems TO me
clear and imperative duty that I
have a second time this session
sought the privilege OF addressing you
in person. I know. of course. that
the heated season of the year is upon
us. that work In these chambers and
In the COMMITTEES rooms Is likely TO
become a burden as the season
lengthens. and that every considera-
ton Of personal convenience and per-
sonal comfort perhaps, In the cases
OF some OF us, considerations of per-
sonal health even. dictate an carly
conclusion OF the deliberations of the
session., but there are occa sions Of
public duty when these things which
touch us privately seem very small;
when the work 10 be done is so
pressing and so fraught with big
consequence that we know that we
are not at liberty To weigh against
It any point OF personal sacrifice. We
are now In the presence Of such an
occasion, 1t Is absolutely imperative
that We should give the business men
OF this country banking and cur
rency system by means Of which they
can make use OF the freedom OF en-
terprise and OF Individual initiative
which we are about TO bestow upon
them.

WILSON SIGNS THE
SUNDRY CIVIL BILL
States, However, Provision
Relating to Unions and
Farmers Unjustihable.

WASHINGTON, June 23.-President
Wilson signed today the sundry civil
appropriation bill with statement dc
calring that he would have vetoed, if
he could, the provision in it exempt
ing labor unions and farmers organi-
cations from prosecution under a GER
tain $500 900 fund designated for the
operation Of the Sherman antitrust
law.
The president characterized the ex-
emption as uniustifable in character
and principle but called attention to
the fact that the department of JUS
tice possessed other funds with which
to enforce the antitrust law. The UT.
gent need of various government prof.
ects for funds appropriated by the
bill influenced the president to speedy
action on the measure
The bill carries $l16, 100000 in appro-
priatlons and was vetoed by Mr.. Taft
on March because of the labor ex.
introduced and passed by both houses
in identical form by the present con-
gress, this provision was the subject
of sharp debate
In his statement the president said
81 have signed this bill because
can do so without in fact limiting the
opportunity or the power of the de-
partment of justice to prosecute viola
tions of the law. by whomsoever com
mitted
eff ] could have separated from the
rest of the bill the item which author
ized the expenditure by the depart.
ment of Justice of a special sum Of
100000 for the prosecution of viola,
tIons of the antitrust law, [ would
have vetoed that item, because it places
upon the expenditure limitation which
in my opinion is unjustifable in char
acter and principle But ] could moi
separate it. I do not understand that
the limitation was intended as either
an amendment or an Interpretation of
the antitrust law, but merely as an
expression of the opinion Of the con
gress-a very emphatic opinion, backed
by an overwhelming majority Of the
house OF representatives and a large
number of the senate but not intended
to touch anything but the expenditure
Of single small additional fund.
"T can assure the country that this
item neither will limit or in any way
embarrass the actions of the depart
ment Of Justice Other apnropria ions
supply the department with abundant
funds to enforce the law The Law
will be interpreted in the determine
tion of what the department should dc
by Independent, and I hope, impartia
judgments as to the true and Just mean
ing Of the statutes Of the United
States -

No man, however casual and super

can fail TO see that one OF the chief
things business needs now and will
need increasingly as it gains in

ately ahead of us, is the proper
means by which readily to ritalizc

is perfectly clear that II Is our duty
TO supply the new banking and cur
rency system the country needs and
that 1t will Immediately need 1t more
than ever.
The only question Is, when shall we
supply lt-now or later. after the de-
mands shall have become reproaches
that we were so dull and so slow
Shall we hasten 10 change the tariff

There can be only one answer TO
that question. We must act now, at
whatever sacrifice to ourselves. II is
a duty which the circumstances for

creant To my deepest convictions OF

this matter within the last few years

tration anywhere in a few hands Of
the monetary resources of the coun-
try or their use for speculative pur-
poses In such volume as to hinder or
impede or stand In the way of other
more legitimate, more faithful uses.
And the control OF the system Of
banking and OF issue which our new
laws are to set up must be public,
not private, must be vested in the
government itself so that the banks
may be the instruments. not the
masters. of business and OF individ-
