ECHOES OF 1894
IN PULLMAN CAR
COMPANY'S ORDER

OAKLAND, CAL, May 2s.-Not-
withtanding the fact that the Pull
man Palace Car company declares
each year dividends Of great magni-
tude, it resorts to depicable and bru-
tai methods, so far, at least, as a
portion of it's employees are concerned.
1t seems that there is now on q
general policy of retrenchment by
this company, and it has resulted
in an order order lowering the wages
of the women car cleaners employ
ers employed in the Pullman shops at
West Pullman shops at West Oak
land from 24A cents an hour to
17h cents per hour.
This reduces the wage for an s.
hour day from $1.98 to $1.40. The
work done by these women is of a
disagreeable nature, and exposes
them to the danger of contagion.
These women number about so, and
each group of four women is required
to clean seven cars daily.

TO ORGANIZE FOR
( STATE CAMPAIGN
Minnesota Voters League to Be
Formed to Educate People In
Initiative and Referendum.
STATE FEDERATION OF
LABOR TO TAKE IT UP
Speakers Will Be Sent to Every
Voting Precinct In State Be-
fore Next Election.

An informal meeting was held at
the Spalding hotel on Saturday last,
attended by people of progressive
thought who believe in the initiative
and referendum, the fullest measure
Of home rule for cities and the cleo
ton OF clean men to the legislatures.
At this meeting it was resolved that
a state convention be called for the
purpose of organizing the Minnesota
Voters League. At the convention Of
the State Federation of Labor to be
held in st. Cloud next month a re-
solution will be introduced and prob
ably passed calling upon all progress
sive organizations in the state to join
with the federation in conducting an
educational campaign throughout the
state in behalf. of the initiative and
referendum.
The Federation will, in all prob
ability, call a conference of represen-
tatives from such organizations as
the Saturday Lunch club of Minnea-
polls, the Current Topics club of St.
Paul, the Stirrup club of Duluth and
trade and labor unions for the pur-
pose of forming the Minnesota Vot-
ers' league.
To Start Work Early.
Organization work will be started
early, and an attempt will be made to
send speakers into every voting pre-
cinct in Minnesota for the purpose
of interesting the voters in the pro-
posed constitutional amendment pro-
viding for the initiative and referen-
dunn and for the election of the right
kind of members to the legislature
who will in the future vote in the in
terests Of the people.
1t Is feared that under the nOn-
partisan plan of choosing members
of the legislature the special inter-
ests will name one man and they will
busy themselves in every legislative
district inducing a large number Of
candidates to file, So that the vote Of
the peoplesawtlf be divided and: the
candidate of the. sneciaT interests
elected.
The proposed Voters league will
forestall this move of the special in
terests and show the people how their
interests may be protected.

At the last meeting Of the council a

this contract was given to the evening

this reason it is not necessary to re-
view what was said at the banquet.
Strong resolutions were enacted
declaring against an extra session OF

passage of public utilities commis-

cities the authority to regulate public
