E|GHT:H0UR BILL
Opposition to Shorter Workday
Law for Women and Chill
- dren Gets Busy.
FRIENDS OF LAW URGED
TO WRITE LEGISLATORS
Thousands of Protests, Many from
Duluth, Filed at Capitol
Against Worthy Bill.

Every members of organized labor,
every preacher, every social worker.
every officer of a charity organization
and every friend of social justice is
this week given an opportunity to do
some practical good for the working
men and women Of Minnesota.
There is now pending in the legis-
lature several very important meas
ures. among which is the bill limit
ing the hours of labor for women
wage earners and children In all oc-
cupations, excepting nurses, farm la
borers and domestic servants, to eight
hours in any one day.
This bill is known as House F4le.
No. 1877, and has been recommended
to pass by the committee on labor.
The merchants and employers of
women and child labor in Duluth have
been deluged with letters this week
from like institutions in st. Paul,
urging them to write to their senators
and representatives in opposition to
the passage of the bill. In many in
stances this request has been COM
piled with.
Many Letters of Protest.
A large number of letters protesting
against the eight-hour bill have been
shown to representatives of labor,
and among them are some very strong
letters written by Duluth merchants,
laundry men and other employers OF
women and child labor.
One laundry owner states that he
will be compelled to go out of busi-
ness if he is prohibited by law from
working his employees longer tSan
eight hours each day.
This legislature is decidedly pro.
sressive. Most Of it's members are
desirous of passing drastic legisla-
tion to protect the health and morals
of wage working women. It is not
very encouraging to them to receive

PITTSBURGH, Feb. .13.-The
AMERICAN Federation of Labor scored
It's first victory over the steel trust
last Wednesday. A telephone message
from Rankin and Braddock conveyed
the information that at the meeting
of union of steel workers at the
places mentioned, the strikers re-
ceived an offer from the steel corpor-
alton of an advance in wages, and
they were also assured that the CON-
pany would not discriminate against
the union men if all returned to
work. The unions have accepted the
proposal and returned to the mills.
The organizers of the American
Federation Of Labor. have proceeded
to other districts in Pennsylvania to
secure similar advances in wages and
better conditions for the steel work.

Mill Workers Awakening.
While the campaign has not as yet
fairly started it has proceeded far
enough to indicate that there is an
appreciable awakening of the un-
skilled laborers, and that the steel
trust is generally concerned in the
steady and persistent efforts of the
A. F. of l.. to organize these men.

in wages, there may come a tins

This morning at 2 o'clock Mrs. L..
E. Wellbaum of this city, received
a telephone message from her hus-

out of Richmond by the Pennsylvania
railroad, that he and his companions
were starving to death at a point be-
tween Hamilton and Cincinnati and he
told her to make every effort to send
a rescue party to them. She does
not know who the other members of
the crew are. Railroad officials here
told Mrs Wellbaum that it would be
impossible for them to get a rescue
train below Hamilton. A press dis
patch from Hamilton this afternoon
said that supply. train had reached
East Hamilton and it is probable that
the members of the wreck crew were
picked up and given warm clothing

FOR
THE VICTIMS
HERE SUNDAY

Sunday four benefit performances
will be given by the vaudeville per-
formers at the Murray theater, two
matinees and two evening shows. All
the proceeds from these performances
will be turned over to the local Day
ton relief fund and the shows will be
given under the auspices of the two
local newspapers and the Commercial
club. The performers at the Murray
were anxious to do all in their power
to assist in the flood relief work and
to work all Sunday after
noon and evening if called upon. It
is needless to say that these kind
hearted stage folk expect no recon-
pense for their services. By attend
ing these performances the Richmond
public will be not only we'll enter
tanned but will be contributing to a
worthy cause.
