An inspiring incident took place
during the Minnesota State Fedora
tion of Labor convention at st. Cloud
last week. w. +. McEwen, editor Of
the Duluth Labor World and former
State Commissioner of Labor. who
had served the State Federation for
seventeen years as secretary-treasur-
er, announced that he would not ac-
cept reelection. He gave review
of the progress made by the labor
movement in the state during the time
he held office. Two of the older dele
gates who had been present when Mr..
McEwen was elected for the first
time, and who had seen him reelected
year after year. wept at intervals dur
ing his address. When the speech was
concluded, the entire body of dele
gates rose to its feet and cheered for
five minutes-a most emphatic tribute
to man who has devoted the best
years Of his life to the advancement
OF his fellow-man. II is well that such
demonstrations OF gratitude are occa-
sionally shown, for 1t gives the lie to
the oft-repeated declaration that
working people are unappreciative.
Neither would the delegates accept
McEwen's retirement, and they pro-
ceeded to unanimously elect him sec
retary-treasurer for the eighteenth
time.
