Some time next month the secre-
tary of state will cause to be publish
ed in each and every legal paper in
Minnesota the form and text Of all
the constitutional amendments to be
voted upon by the people at the No.
vember election.
The amendments must be publish
ed at least four months before the
election. When this shall have been
done it will give the people ample
time to carefully study the several
measures upon which they will be
called to vote.
Eleven Proposed Amendments.
OF the eleven amendments to be
submitted to the voters, the first one
on the ballot, and by far the most
important, provides for the *restora-
ton Of the direct power of govern

the present day progressive move

this proposed constitutional provi-

DENVER, May Labor Commits
sioner Brake has sustained the United
Mine Workers union in it's contention
that section men working in the yards
or around the grounds of smelters
come under the eight-hour law, which
provides that men working 'in'' smell
ters, ETC., shall not work more than
eight hours in any twenty-four. The
state official waived aside the techni-
caltty raised that section men did not
work i'm smelters, and held they
were subject to the gaseous fumes the
same as the other men,.
It was shown that the railroads re-
cognize this when carmen are work.
ing in the yards. In this case. how
ever. the railroad brotherhoods pro-
tect their members, and as the section
men are unorganized, it was believed
they were powerless.
The United Mine Workers, however,
came to their rescue.
