LABOR MEETING AT WiNONA
Annual Convention of State Federation

Union Selects Delegates.

Winona.-The annual convention of
the Minnesota State Federation of La
Dor will be held in Winona July 10,
20 and 81 President E. G. Hall is
spending most of his time in Winona
while preparing for the meeting. Mat
tiers of great Importance to labor in
every part of the state will be raised
for discussion.
This will be the 33rd convention of
the federation and the fourth time that
the sessions have been held in Winona.
The first meeting here was in 1896, the
second in 1898 and the third in 1908.
In these years the federation has
greatly increased in numbers and i'm
portance.
International Falls union musicians
and culinary and paper mill workers
will be represented. They are trying
to arrange baseball game to be play
ed on one Of the convention days
with some union league team of ST.
Paul.
The iron range delegates are com
ing with a hope of getting the con-
vention of 1916 for either Hibbing or
Virginia. They will have opposition
from East Grand Forks, which was a
candidate for convention honors last
year, when Winona secured the prize.
1t is understood that Crookston dele
gates are likely to boost for East
Grand Forks. Delegates have already
been selected by the typographical un.

him three sisters. Recently he saw
them for the first time since he

Last August his sisters advertised
for information concerning their long
lost brother. One OF the advertise

Valparaiso, Ind. An old comrade OF
the soldier living In that city wrote
to the sisters that their brother was
in the Soldiers home in Kansas.
He was sent for. The three gray
haired women awaited his arrival in
station in Chicago. He came, but
he tapped a cane before him as he
walked. He had been blind nine
years. There was JOY, of course. in
the reunion, but there was sadness
too. He could not see them.
Il wonder if there's any chance for
you, brother?" asked one of the sis
tiers as they walked slowly away.
Have you had medical attention. and
have you ever been told you could
never see again?"
