LONDON, April ia case In.
volving the rights Of trade unionists

The controversy arose when the

and an injunction to restrain the

ERIE, Pa. April t7.-Those who
are managing the iron molders' con-
test in this city are to be COM
mended for the manner in which the
fight is being conducted.
Some time ago an injunction was
issued, with, the usual restrictive
provisions! Thirteen of the iron
moulders were arrested for violation
Of the injunction. Instead Of paying
the fines of $25 each. the iron mould
ers accepted the Jail sentence, and
were accompanied by a large escor:

them, are taken care of.
: This is a strategic position to take,
and. as this injunction prohibits the
strikers from doing those things
which the constitutions of the state
and the United States gives them the
lawful right to do, it might not be g.
bad idea to let the county become

BRUSSELS, April 17.-Growing to
more gigantic proportions hour BY
hour, almost minute by minute, the
working people Of Belgium today
have brought the nation to the great
est crisis in its history by their uni
versal strike against the present un-
Just system of giving the nobility and
the rich and their clerical allies two
and three votes, while the working
people have but a single vote.
Thousands and thousands of work
ers who at first feared that the strike
would not be success and who were
afraid to join in the movement to
force the abolition of the present sys-
tenn of plural voting. today saw its
ultimate success and Joined with their
fellows in the great struggle.
More than 100000 workers joined
in the beginning of the strike, and
their number grew throughout the
first days struggle. -
They Get Frightened.
The clerical and government news
papers that have been ridiculing the
proposed strike, today were thor
oughly frightened. They tried their
uation by expressing pious wishes that
the strike may end. They all pre-
dicted its defeat, and said the workers
: Would besklaa tQ-returl in q few days.
But while the clerical elements and
the so-called Christian unions were
fighting the strike, the Peoples palace,
the headquarters Of p. the Socialist
party, the labor unions and the Coz
operative movement, was a scene OF
unprecedented activity. Emil Van
dervelde, leader of the Socialists in
the chamber Of deputies, and one Of
the sponsors Of the strike today, de.
clared that the strike plans were
working. to perfection: (:
" The strike is spreading gradually.
and slowly but surely the industries
are being paralyzed as the workers
leave their workshops and factories
and Mines" he said. Everything is
going according to schedule
The strike thus far has been marked
by neither disturbances nor any spe-
cial inconveniences to the general
public here. The gas, electric, and
street cleaning services. and the street
cars and railroads are in operation as
usual, but Brussels merchants say
trade is at standstill.
The city is full of children Of the
provincial strikers, who are being
cared for by the families Of Liberals. .
The only act of sabotage" occurred
in suburb, where three big machines
in a leather factory were damaged.
Brussels is not an Industrial center.
There are about 81, 900 workmen here,
of whom less than 10000 are out.

Legislature Reorganizes Just

COMPENSATION ACT

But It May Be Improved By Fu-
ture Sessions-Fight Was
Hard One.

Tne WOrkingmen's compensation
bill is now in conference with COM
mfttees from the house and senate at
tempting to agree on the final provi-
slons of the measure. The bill passed
the house on Friday last by vote Of
1O2 to s, after one Of the most inter-
esting fights ever witnessed in the
legislature of Minnesota.
Strong opposition to the bill showed
itself about the lobbies for several
weeks. There were honest and dis
honest opposition to workingmen's
compensation act. The dishonest op-
position was centered about the class
that now profits on employers iabili-
ty and which takes from 25 per cent
to SO per cent of what workingmen
get for injuries sustained by them.
The honest opposition came from
certain groups of workingmen who
are enjoying fairly good benefits un-

act. The railroad engineers, firemen,
conductors and trainmen feared they

Officers of Federation.
The officers of the Minnesota State
Federation Of Labor wanted a work
ingmen's compensation. They were
not satisfied with the bill before the
house. They insisted upon certain
provisions increasing the benefits of
the bill and eliminating certain of it's
most drastic provisions against labor
: They: took the position that they
wanted the bill amended to the ut
most without jeopardizing it's final
passage.
In the debate before the house
members of the legislature who here
tofore have voted against almost every
labor measure at this session. were
loud in their boasts Of friendship for
the Worklngman. In their arguments
they quoted certain officers Of the
State Federation of Labor as being in
favor Of the bill without amendment,
Mr.. McEWen, the secretary -treasur-
er, was referred to by almost every
speaker. Some of them tried to lead
the house to believe that he was op-
posed to the amendments proposed by
organized labor. It finally became
necessary for Mr.. McEwen to state his
position in writing and have it read
before the house by orA-<,f the men,

OLD Dcfenses Abrogated.
All Of the amendments adopted by
the house improved the bill consid-
erably. Former Speaker H. H. Dunn
presented an amendment prepared by
Mr.. McF:wen which was passed. This
amendment applied to Part I Of the
bill. AS originally drafted, the bill
permitted the employer to set up the
defenses of assumption Of risk, the
fellow servant and contributary negli-
gence whenever an employe refused

the employer to set up only such de-

IT.: This Evening 5.: "
PHOENIX TO MEET ORIOLES

Much interest among bowling cir
cles of Bemidji is being shown in
the game which is to be played by the
Phoenix and the Orioles at the Gill
lette alley this evening. The game
will be the first to be played since
the city league was organized, and
which comprises six teams.
Both the Phoenix and Orioles are
made up of strong bowlers and the
opinion seems to be that the five
which wins the game this evening
will have quite an advantage in the
race for the championship. The next
game is to be played next Monday
evening, and in the future two
games will be played each week, on
Monday and Wednesday evenings,
until the entire fifteen games have
been played.
The teams which will battle this
evening are led by Barney Popp, cap
tain of the Orioles, and Barney Erick-
son, captain of the Phoenix.

RIDER WILL BE RETAINED.
Head of Game and Fish Commission
Has Been Re-Appointed By Cover
nor Bradley Also to Remain
ACTION MEETS WITH APPROVAL

Governor Eberhart has announced
the re-appointment of George J.
Bradley of Norwood and H. A. Rider
of Minneapolis as members of the
State Game and Fish commission for
four years.
4 The governors action in remaining
Mr.. Rider is met with approval by
the sportsmen of Bemidji who appear
to feel that the executive agent has
done all in his power to operate the
commission on real business basis.
Mr.. Bradley is a banker and is
chairman of the commission. He has
been member and treasurer of the
Republican state central committee
+ Mr.. Rider, in addition to being a
member of the commission, is the
executive agent of the department
and draws a salary of $4,000 year.
The other members serve without
compensation.
The re-appointment of Mr.. Rider
is taken to indicate, that he again
will be chosen executive agent, his
term expiring January L. The agent
is elected by the commission from
among it's members. &
1t has been reported for several
days that shake-up in the commits
sion was due and that Mr.. Rider was
to be retired as a member and given
the position of superintendent of
fisheries now held by E. w. Cobb.
Mr.. Bradley it was said, was slated
to take Mr.. Riders place as agent
These reports were due to the fact
that the last Legislature critized the
management of the department aft
ter an investigation by House COM
mittee.
