Senator B1istow Introduces Reso.
luton to Amend Constitution
As Advocated by Roosevelt,

: WASHINGTON, Feb. 6.-Senator
,Bristow Of Kansas has offered a joint
resolution in the senate, proposing an
!amendment to the constitution Of the
united States which provides for sub
uniting to the people acts Of congress
flor their approval or disapproval
which have been decided as uncon-
stitutional by the United States SUI
spreme court.
: The resolution follows: III the su-
preme court shall decide that q law
enacted by congress Is in violation Of
the provisions OF the Constitution Of
tho United States, the congress at q
Irregular session held after such de-
cision may submit the act to the cleo
!; tors at q regular congressional cleo
ton, and II the majority Of the cleo
tors voting on such measure in ma
sjorlty Of the congressional districts,

Our County Sanitarium.
Such an institution as is now main
tanned by st. Louis County at Mid
way is to be assisted by funds from
the state, and every state-aided instt-
tuition is to maintain a free dispeti-
sary and such shall have visiting
nurses on it's staff.
The difference between DR.. Stones
bill and the tuberculosis society bill
is that the former provides for a
single state institution, while the 9TH
er is proposed to encourage all of
the counties and larger cities of the
state to build sanitoria near the
homes of the victims of the disease.
DR.. Tuohy Of Duluth, probably the
best known tuberculosis expert in
Minnesota and member of the st.
Louis county tuberculosis commission,
declares emphatically that the only
successful plan is for the cities and
counties to build sanitoria, and he is
strongly opposed to the single state
institution.
The Minnesota State Federation Of
Labor, by resolution adopted at the
Brainerd convention, is committed to
the bills proposed by the Minnesota
Society for the Prevention and Relief
Of tuberculosis.

GARMENT WORKERS
make HEROIC FIGHT
Righteousness of the New York
Clothing Makers Cause Ap-
peals to Popular Magazines.

The heroic fight the garment work.
ers are making in New York for high
er wages and better working condi-
lions is attracting the attention of the
nation. It is natural that the labor
would stand behind the
garment workers, but it. is rare in.
deed to find the leading periodicals
and weekly magazines behind the
great militant industrial movement.
Conditions in the sweat shops of
New York have been known to be bad
for years. But no newspaper has
ever given true word picture of the,
awful conditions that have obtained
there until the following editorial
was printed in Golfers, the publica-
ton Of which shows that the world
is surely moving.
During the last few weeks one
hundred and fifty thousand men,
women, and young girls in the gar
ment industry of New York City have
left their benches and machin~ :, and
have gone out on strike for better
conditions Prominent among their
demands is the abolition Of tenement
work, called with pathetic irony
nome work.
Blot Oh Civilization.
"Of all the blots upon our indus
trial civilization, this sweating sys-
tenn is perhaps the biggest and the
blacklist. Home. indeed! Two rooms,
or one, in a crowded, dirty tenement
-airless, dark, cluttered beyond be-
lief with the mixed-up refuse of daily
living and incessant toll: rank with
the germs of the dread diseases that
come from hunger and crowding and
premiscuous living; cold and cheer
less and sad. Only a sort of work.
shop, but. infinitely worse than any
shop, for here there are no laws
against long hours, child labor, insan-
itary conditions. only incessant,
monotonous toll for less than enough
to pay for daily bread.
'Seventy-five per cent Of all the
finishing work done in the garment
industry of New York is done in this
way. Not only is this form of work
in itself intolerable, but it drags down
the scale of wages in the factory work
and seriously menaces the health of
the rest of the population.
mo home is so far away from
New York that one of these infected
garments may not reach it, The con-
tractors say that if any one concern
abOlishes home work it will at once
be ruined by competition with others
which do not. This may or may not
be true. But the question should not
be left for the disputing parties to
decide.
'In a case so intimately bound up
| with the welfare of the whole com
munity the conditions should be reg
| ulated by the law. The day of sophis-
/ tical Justice is waning"

this Industrial revolt and have made
OF them minute men of industry.
At $3.50 a. III. I went on actual
picket duty with Miss l.. L. Dock,
outside of Schesher's uptown garment
factory. Owner Schesher himself and
his corps of private detectives filled
the ornate doorway. A crowd of
slouching toughs, said to be hired for
IS a day, escorted groups of strike
: breakers from the Second and Sixth
avenue IL" trains. Across the way
200 men loafed, silently waiting for
any excitement.

Sabbath calm. Suddenly an employ

Schesher fled precipitously from his
point Of vantage, while the employ
ers' private detectives bored into the
crowd, brandishing threatening clubs.
After four minutes delay the police
arrested q perfectly innocent man.

LABOR OPENS UP
ON STEEL TRUST
Continued from paXe 1.

Braddock plant a few blocks away.
A committee called ON General
Manager White and was told the
company would not deal with the
men as a body.
The strikers called mass meetings.
They found the halls had been rented
by the company officials to prevent
them meeting.
Then the men, headed by General
Organizer Thomas III. Finn and p. b.
Pierce, tried to get together on the
street corners.
Incidentally there were. frequent
riots, one man was killed in one Of
these clashes. Many have been
wounded.
Calls on Sheriff.
Then the company called on Sheriff
Bruff to protect their property. Bruff
closed the saloons. -
The men demanded mainly the
adjustment Of the system of paying
total tonnage.
They make no specific demands for
higher wages or shorter hours.
Laborers. of whom there are 1000
in the Rankin mill, are rated as IT,
cents-an-hour men. They get paid II
cents an hour if the tonnage is nor
NAL.
If one department is shut down,
however, that subtracts from the to-
tai tonnage and the workers in other
departments draw correspondingly
less. Organizer Finn has specific ex-
amples where men earned as low, as
IA, Is and Is cents day.
Flynn furnished Frank Morrison,
secretary Of the federation, data on
conditions here which Morrison will
give Congressman Stanley as basis for
a further probe Of the steel trust.

In the Cow and the Moon which
opens the new Empress theater on

fantasy it is claimed that Happy"
the quiet, yet forceful comedian is
gaining still firmer grasp upon his
many admirers and those who believe
in the idea of "clean-cut, snappy,
everlasting something doing kind of
musical comedy.
Few in: this serious. Work-a- day
world care to go to the theater to
their hearts bowed down by the for
lorn fate OF some unlucky heroine;
but the actuating desire of theatrical
devotees is to laugh, and laugh they
will at the Cow and the Moon"
There is action every minute and
then some, and the tricks are so nu-
merous and startling and the clever
principals and beautiful gowned
chorus are really necessary to the
success Of this furious whirlwind OF
fantastic novelties. While there is
nothing Mendelssohnian about the
score; the music is all tuneful jingles
and sets the audience humming from
the rise Of the first curtain.
The piece is the most sumptuously
staged Of any extravaganza to date,
the electrical effects are marvellous

WASHINGTON, Feb. S. The
; Rockefeller Foundation bill passed
the house of Representatives on Jan
, uary 20. In substance It provides for
: a charter under authority Of the gov
eminent, and contains provisions ex-
tempting from taxation the property
to be held In the foundation.
The scheme now represents $780,
100000. and upon the face Of the
program It appears to be a scheme
to evade taxation under the cloak
Of an organization supposedly de-
voted to humanitarian and other
kindred efforts.
While tho bill passed the house, it
has a rocky road to travel In the
senate, with the chances against its
passage.
