After an application for a reduction

Committee Asks Financial Aid
y from Affiliated Unions to-.
Raise Legislative Fund. r.

That several OF the state laws deal,
ing with labor should be amended was
the sense of the last convention of
the Minnesota State Federation : Of
Labor: -. 49,.
| The matter of assessing the aff7liat-
ed bodies in order to raise a ,legisla-
tive fund was referred back to the ex-
ecutive board for consideration. E.,
President Hall appointed a commit
tee of five. composed Of j. P. Walsh,
A. l.. Rich, c. NJ Hillman, Frank
Gould and G.. W. Lawson, to take
charge of the amendments to the COM
pensation act to be submitted to the
next session of the legislature.
Funds Necessary.
FUNDS for legal advise and other ex-
penses will be absolutely necessary for
the use Of the committee in having the
various amendments placed in position
for presentation before the legislature.
The only method left open for raising
such fund is through the contribu-
tons of labor unions and central
bodies.
Proposed Amendments.
Following are some of the principle
amendments to be offered by the. cam
mittee: - .
Full medical attendance
compensation. from date of injury
II disability lasts over 80 days.
Funeral benefit of 800 in all
cases."
Raising maximum. to $15."
raising the percentage from so to
IS per cent"
Other amendments have been sue-
gested and will probably be drafted
at an early date. a.
Success for the committee depends
largely upon the support given by the
local unions since the funds of tho
Federation are not sufficient to defray
the expense that will be involved, 1t
is hoped that all affiliated. bodies will
do their part in supplying necessary
money.
All contributions should; be made to
Secretary G. w. Lawson, 800 waba-
sha st., st. Paul. He will render y
statement to the Winona convention
for all receipts and expenditures of
such fund.

It is estimated by conservative and
rather unfriendly observers that there
were $4,000 persons in Madison Square
Garden last Thursday night to cheer
Meyer London, the lone Socialist elect
ed to Congress this November, the man
who. beat lGoldfogle in the Twelfth
Manhattan District. Perhaps big Jim
Larkin, the Dublin strike leader, was q
good drawing card too. But the fact
that five thousand of the cheerers had
paid rs cents each for their seats, and
the rest had paid Is cents each,is very
significant. Whether either the Re-
publican or the Democratic party or
ganization could have got together
such 2 crowd on such terms is a mat
ter of grave doubt. The Socialists
have acquired the habit of paying for
been q. necessity for them, because
they have no wealthy men anxious to-
contribute for. hall rent. = e
+ Here is party which has had :as
its national standard bearer in four
Presidential elections Eugene ". Debs.

nection with the great Chicago rail-
road strike Debs polled 20s, 900 votes
in 1900; ss1. 900 in 1s04;<420,00o in
1908; $4,000 in1912. Vague! as are
the general notions Of Socialism, tho
Debs party stands for q concrete pro-
gramme.E How far is it "a negligible
factor In our national politics?
The practical politician will answer
that SO long as the percentage OF vote
polled is relatively small. the Socialist
party does not matter, He always
forgets that even mistaken sincerity
and ill-directed enthusiasms have

cerity and the energy Of the Debs

Our own view is that conservatism

in Its defense; that it has been relyinn
too much on the mechanics Of politics
and on the loyalty Of party leaders or

junction On Commission and
Auditor,

ST. PAUL, Nov. 26.-By a ruling of
Judge Catlin in the hearing on the
validity of the minimum wage law, a
temporary, injunction has been issued
against State Auditor Iverson and
members of the minimum wage COM
mission.
The order also prevented the mini
mum wage from going into effect
November 23rd as planned.
VIII Appeal Case.
Until such time as the case has
been tried on merits, the law will be
ineffective. His decision will be ap-
pealed to the supreme court
E. w. Williams, the Winona mer-
chant who brought suit, was requested
by order. of Judge Catlin in granting
the petition for temporary injunc-
ton to furnish $1,000 bond. A like
company case. ~.
The Judges Reason.

would be apt to increase immortality,
If morals are dependent upon wages -

powers to an appointive commission,
and placed in that commission dis

a minimum wage.
even the state cannot lawfully be-

Of government has been entirely
changed Judge: Catlin declared.
sInterferes With Rights.
The second constitutional ground on
which the court based the decision
was the abridgment of. the right of the
individual to- contract. The law in

YOU CHIROPRACTIC
IS RIGHT.

Five reasons why you should in
vestigate Chiropractic
First Chiropractic is right be-
cause it appeals to reason and COM
mon sense.
SECOND-Chiropr is right be-
cause it removes the cause of dis
case without drugs or knife.
THIRD-Chiropra is right be-
cause is works in harmony with the
laws of. nature, seldom failing and
never doing harm.
-Chiropractic is right be-
cause it is applicable to the child as
we'll as to the adult.
FIFTH-Chiroprac is right be-
cause it's tendency is to make a sick
person WE'LL and we'll person better.
To be applied in general way
those statements may seem too strong.
but to witness the complete recovery
Of chronic cases at the hands Of the
chiropractor is right. Such recoveries
are being witnessed in many quarters
over a wide range Of territory every
day and many Of them right here in
Duluth.
1t is to your interest not to wait
Tor further experiment with methods
that are known to be failures. ANY
method that does not remove the
cause of ill health is failure. Chi
ropractic removes the cause.
