LABOR UNIONS FEDERATE.

The first general organization of la
Dor unions in America was effected at
a meeting held In Baltimore forty
seven a ago today, with delegates
IN attendance from sixty cities Of the
United States and Canada. The Ma
tlonal Labor union was the name
adopted for the body, which, at this
convention. formulated the first de-
mand for an eight-hour day. Conven-
tons Were afterward held in Chicago.
pittsburgh, New York and Philadel-
phia, and in 1872. at Columbus, Ohio,
the union nominated a candidate for
president Of the United States. This
political move caused the disruption Of
the union. which, in 1869. had as
sumed the name of the knights of
Labor In 1881 the movement was re-
v1ved and a convention was held In
pittsburgh, which resulted in the
rounding Of the Federation Of Organ
lied Trade and Labor Unions of the
United States and Canada. In 1885,
at a convention held in Columbus, a
more perfect plan of organization was
adopted, and the title was changed to
the American Federation of Labor.
The first Of the great unions now af-
filiated with the federation. was the
International Typographical union, in
stituted In 1850. The hat makers
were the next to organize, and the
iron moulders and cigar makers soon
followed the example.

NORTHERN LEAGUE
SEASON ENDED
HAS BEEN SUCCESSFUL YEAR
DESPITE ADVERSE cIRcuM-
" STANCES-MINNEAPoLls WILL
REMAIN IN THE LEAGUE FOR
ANOTHER YEAR.

The Northern league ended the sea-
son yesterday and The Minneapolis
Journal sums up the years doings as
follows:
The Northern league brings it's sea-
son to a close today, and despite what
is generally considered to have been
a bit of an off year in baseball, the
new loop has ben fairly prosperous.
For years it has been the. ambition
of the club owners and fans of the
Northern territory to invade Mime
apolis and st. Paul, and the experiment
was tried this year. In some ways 1t
was a success and in others a failure.
1t was a success in that the presence
of Minneapolis and st. Paul teams in
the circuit was a big advertising feat
ure for the lesser towns, and the twin
cities helped draw the crowds when
they appeared in the smaller cities of
the circuit. Financially, st. Paul did
not prove a winner, but Minneapolis.

ward the support Of visiting clubs.

the estimates of the club owners.
Pres. Mike Cantillon old that with
the vent for. surplus talent afforded by
the Northern, and the opportunity 1t
gave him to plant youngsters for a
little polishing off, it was a paying ven
ture for him. He has a ball club and
some very likely looking youngsters.
From the standpoint of attendance,
Minneapolis al unquestionably a dis
appointment to the other club owners
of the league. This was perhaps due
to the bad baseball played at the start
of the year when a lot of new talent
mad to be tried out and sifted. 1t gave
the fans who did go, a wrong impress
sion as to the teams, after they settled
down, played good baseball Of the
grade and many Of the games were
highly interesting and as s~tubbornly
fought as In the association. The
Northern developed some men who will
go a long way in baseball before they
finish and still carries a lot of young
sters who look to be capable of fur
Their development. Almost every club
had it's good men and 1t was a good
race from start to finish. .
A. meeting will be held in q short
time to determine the leagues stand
ing and circuit for another season.
There has been some talk of Mime
have Mike Cantillon as favorable to
another year in the circuit and the
taking in Of a Canadian town or two
to take the places of some Of the clubs
willing to drop out If proper arrange
ments can be made. .

his first year as a league president. He
ran the league in a business-l Like way
and without fear or favor. He was fair

erett was Virginia visitor yesterday
on official business. Mr.. Everett has
succeeded in arousing good deal of
interest in his plan to have all the
cities of the range appoint juvenile
officer, and the plan is being favorably
commented on by range newspapers.
"A juvenile officer is necessary in ev-
cry town on the range" said Mr..
Everett yesterday, IF the spirit in
which the work of the juvenile court
is undertaken is to be lived up to.
There is a good deal of business of
this nature TO be looked after here
and the police departments are not in
condition to handle it we'll. Juvenile
work is one Of the most important of
all branches of court work. 1t carnot
be left in the hands Of the ordinary
peace officer. The work is of u ma
ture that requires good deal of tact
full attention, and the charges of the
juvenile court require constant over
seeing from an officer who is allie ia
command the respect and attention OF
juvenile offenders"
A good deal of business for the
juvenile court arises in Virginia and
Mr.. Everett is of the opinion that q
juvenile officer should be added to the
