STATE COUNCIL. !.
DOES GOOD |WORK.
Executive Officers of Minnesota
State Federation of Labor
Meet in Minneapolis. :
NEW UNIONS FORMED
SINCE CONVENTION
Strike of Papemakers Again En-
dorsed-officers Pledge Sup
port Until Victory Comes.

The executive council of the Min
nesota State Federation of Labor held
its first quarterly meeting at Minne-
apolis last Sunday. Every member of
the council was present except Vice
President Hurst Of East Grand Forks.
The council in addition to receiving
the reports of the officers for the
past three months disposed of a num-
Der of resolutions referred to it by
the st. Cloud convention. It also re-
newed its endorsement Of the paper
makers strike at Sartell and Little
Falls.
President Hall gave a most inter-
est1ng report in which he reviewed
his activities since the adjournment of
the st. Cloud convention. His report
dwelt largely with the strike of the
papermakers at Sartell and Little
Falls. which has been the absorbing
matter of interest in labor circles dur
ing the past three months. The re-
port showed that the strikers were
determined to remain firm in the
stand they have taken for the eight
hour day until it is granted; that
public sentiment in the strike regions
Is overwhelmingly on their side and
the sympathy of most Of the strike
breakers is also with them. The
unions have been getting fine finan-
cial assistance from throughout the
state.
Good Organization Work.
In the field of organization work
President Hall reported that three
new unions had been formed in .Du-
luth and three more were under way.
Oldr unions had been strengthened
by new members. In st. Cloud a.
bartenders' union was organized. and
the cereal mill workers at Brainerd
brought into the union.
The reports of the vice presidents
were all interesting and showed that
the smoyement in, -Minnsot4 waasin a,
thriving condition: The secretary
treasurer's report showed the FEEDER
alton to be in a healthy financial
condition.
Protests were received against the
action of the convention in appropri-
attng $25 a month for clerk in the
office of the secretary treasurer The
council appointed a special committee
to draft a reply to the protesting
unions. 1t was held that the proper
course to pursue to appeal from the
action Of the convention was by refer
endum vote of all the unions in the
state. It would require ten unions
to get this.
Fraternal Delegate to Illinois.
A communication from the State
Federation Of Labor of Illinois invit-
ing the council to send a fraternal
delegate to the convention Of that
Federation was received and ordered
placed on file. and the secretary was
instructed to acknowledge it's receipt.

New Haven Road, MIXED by Fl,
nanciers, Forced to Gut
Expenses.
DIVIDENDS FIRST
..a..> SAFETY SACRIFICED
Private Ownership Hangs in Bal
ance-Drowning in It's
+s Own Water.

The interstate commerce commits
sion records and Investigations amply
demonstrate the fact that high
finance, alone is responsible for the
long lis tof dead and wounded in the
series of wrecks, on the New Haven
road in the last two years.
After the disasterous wreck at
Stamford, Conn, June IL, 1913, the
commission in it's report said: mod
ern steel equipment for high speed
passenger trains should be installed at
the earliest possible time, as, recon-
mended in previous reports Of this
commission, and legislation fixing
such a time should be enacted without
delay -, ....
Most Cars All Wood.
At that time, the report of the me-
chanical superintendent of the road,
Mr.. Wildin, to the commission showed
that of the 2,288 cars comprising the
passenger equipment of the road. only
81 were of steel construction, while
2,257 were wood. OF the 236 Pull
man cars, only "a were of all-steel
construction, while 81 had steel un-
uSAA oAAO0s oAAu Aoo "OAO VI Ao"oONfs r
construction.
This deplorable condition of equip
ment is explained by one fact. The
New Haven road has been systemat-
,ically milked for the benefit Of high
financiers until it's financial condition
is such that it Is forced to pay .divi-
dends out of capital instead of earn
ings 1t can't provide decent and
safe equipment because it has been
looted. ~~l~sy
How Road Was MIXED.
In the year 1904, the total capital
ization and funded Indebtedness Of
this road was $114,4s1, 900. By 1911
it had increased to $390,852,2O0. in
1914 the earnings of the New Haven
were $48.282.9O9, and in 1911 they
were $62,153,435. In other words,
the capitalization of the road had fn-
creased 243 per cent, while the reven-5
ue was increased but 80 per cent; in-
terest charges were 243 per cent
larger, while the money with which
to pay them was but 80 per cent
larger. Those figures were compiled
from. official reports and presented by
Charles Edward Russell, the railroad
expert, in his recent series of articles
in Pearson's magazine, showing the

Baby Buffalo Born at Kaw.

Kansas City, No., Aug. ia
baby buffalo was born today at the
Swope Park Geological Gardens. The
buffalo was the third addition to the
animal family at the gardens during
the last month, baby camel and q
baby elk having preceded him.
The baby camel which was the
first Of the two to arrive, has firmly
established himself in the good graces
of the keepers and visitors to the ZOO.
It has an advantage over the others,
according to J. w. Cullen, the keep
er, because young camels are the
greatest curiosity.
Il would say that not more than
one person in 5000 on an average
ever has seen a baby camel" said
Cullen.

stock boar in service in the Charter
Oak Herd of big type Poland Chinas
owned by w. H. Charters. Jr., But
Ter, NO., is son of A Wonder and
out of dam by Columbia Chief I'd,
the two bears that made history in
the W. w. Wheeler herd at Harlan,
la. And White Sox Chief is all that
one would expect from the blending
of such hood lines. He is massive,
possesses unusual finish and quality
and sires the big, stretchy, heavy
boned big litter kind that is in such
strong demand. Assisting him in
the herd is Long Price 6OO76, a son
of the prize winning Big Tom and is
out of daughter of the winner,
Guys Price I'd. 1t is a get of these
two top boars that Mr.. Charters is Of
fering the trade now. They have
sired an excellent lot of pigs from
the great lot of sows in the herd and
buyers for herd boar material will
find what they want in this herd.
Mr.. Charters can furnish stock to
suit in both fall and spring bears and
gifts and will be glad to hear from
anyone in the market for stock of
this class. Buying from the Charter
Oak herd has its advantages. In the
first place Mr.. Charters has gone to
trouble and expense of making them
immune. Every hog that is sold for
more than US is recorded free. He
guarantees them breeders or the buy
er gets his money back. He guaran-
tees safe delivery to the purchasers
station. He guarantees them to be
as represented or the money back.
All stock is shipped in light strong
cases and those shipped in hot wealth
er are supplied with drinking pans in
crates. -Ruralist. |

jefferson City, NO., Aug. 18.-In
the mail that came to the Executive
Office yesterday was clipping from

Major. The Echo suggested that i,

they are in the States.
Gov. Major was advised by Gov.
Hodges Of Kansas that he will leave
Kansas City the morning ofAugust 20
at 9 a. M, accompanied by Mrs.
Hodges, and that they will arrive in
Jefferson City at Up. m. This will

Bryan Explains His Needs

Lincoln, Neb., Aug. 17.-In the
first issue of his Commoner Units new
form, Secretary of State Bryan has
an editorial in which he iustifies in
his own mind his return to the Chau.
tauqua platform while acting as a
member of the Cabinet. Mr.. Bryan
says, in part:
''When announced that I found i
necessary to supplement my officia
income, and that would turn to the
lecture platform as the most natural,
as well as an entirely legitimate means
of earning what additional income !
needed, the question was at once
asked: why is Mr.. Bryan unable to
live upon a salary of $l2, 900 year?'
TT ought to have occurred to any
one who was tempted to ask the ques-
ton that the question is not whether
a Cabinet officer could live on $12, 900
a year if he had nothing to consider
except the expenses attendant upon
living in Washington, but whether he
could add the expenses of official life
to his other expenses and meet them
all out of his salary.
my obligations to the church,
charity, education and for my insur-
ance cannot be discontinued. They
amount to more than Sc, 800 per year,
and these, though the largest, are by
no means all that will absorb more
than half the salary which l receive.
II have not complained of the sal
aries of Cabinet offices neither would
| advocate increase.
