SUFFRAGE CLUB !.
HEARS OF REFORMS
Senator Jones Talks Before Club
At Library Tuesday-Tells
of Legislature.

At the last regular meeting of the
Duluth Suffrage association that will
be held until September, Senator
Jones spoke on the several problems
that confronted the recent session of
the legislature and forcibly told of
the abuses practiced by the private
employment agent.
1T is fundamentally wrong for the
worker to be obliged to pay for his
or her job," said the speaker, in dis
cussing the bill to abolish private en-
ployment agencies, which died In
committee during the legislative ses-
sion. This condition bears most
heavily on the workers in the north
woods. About $4,000 men are en-
ployed every winter in the lumber
camps Of northern Minnesota, and
the dollar employment ticket which
they must pay for before they get a
job, added to the 81 a month hos
pital fees and 10 cents a month for
mail fees, makes an unjust burden on
| the worker.
1.-THE committee members felt that
the state employment officers were
| not equipped at this time to take care
| of labor adequately" said the speaker
| but the addition Of federal employ
ment offices, recently established at
the postoffices Throughout the coun-
| try, makes it certain that all labor
| could be cared for much better in this
manner than under the present system
which works so much injustice and
actual hardship
The need for further amendment
to the employers liability act was
sketched by the speaker, who cited
the conditions prevailing in Ohio and
Washington as notable examples
fwhere wise legislation had eliminated
the Ambulance chaser and made it
possible for the workman to receive
all of the money paid by employers
in personal injury cases.
Special meetings Of the club may
be called during the summer months
subject to the call of a. special COM
mittee of which DR.. Mary Mccoy has
been appointed chairman.

VACATION WITH PAY
FOR CHICAGO UNION
First Union That Gets Agreement
With Vacation Says Presi-
dent Tobin.

CHICAGO, May 1.-THE Milk Wa
gon Drivers union Of this city, at
filiated to the International Brother
hood of Transfers and Chauffers, has
secured new wage scale, covering
the $500 members Of this organiza-
ton, which provides for a two weeks
vacation with full pay each year for
every man in the service of the COM
pany on April 1.
Prior to 1902, when the union was
organized, milk wagon drivers were
working for SIS a month. Last year
the membership averaged $22.S5
weekly for the 50 weeks. Under the
agreement just signed it is also speci-
fed tht during the six months of
cold weather drivers shall not hitch
up or leave the dairy before eight
o'clock in the morning. For the six
summer months, drivers may start
any time they see. fit after three
o'clock in the morning, but must be
through and put up in the stable by
noon under penalty of being fined by
the union. To this the employers
agreed.
Get Vacation.
The milk wagon drivers are elated
over the advance made relative to
vacations. General President Tobin
Of the International Brotherhood, who
assisted in the negotiations, said:
II believe that we are the first or
ganization that has a. signed agree
ment, recognizing the right of the
workingman to a vacation with SAL
airy. Our argument with the employ
ers was that the workingman needed
a rest for the purpose of conserving
the human frame just as much as the
banker, broker of high salaried Of
ficer, and because Of the splendid con-
dition of this union of milk wagon
drivers we were successful in getting
the employers to accept our view
point"

At CONFERENCE.

San Francisco conference on child
labor just received from the National
Child Labor committee are two repre-
sentatives Of labor, Paul scharren-
berg, secretary Of the California State
Federation of Labor, and J. Stitt Will
son, a well-know Socialist orator. J..
l.. Beck OF the Wisconsin Industrial
commission is to speak on the Control
of Child Labor in Wisconsin. The; con-
ference opens with mass meeting
on Friday, May 2Sth, and has four
sessions of speeches and discussions
on Saturday and Monday, May 10th
and 31st. The general topic, Child
Labor a National Problem will be
developed along three lines: Child
Labor in the West, of which COM
paratively little has been known hith-
erto; Federal Control of Child Labor
and the need of Charter for Child
hood.
The committee. has announced its
intention of havinsx introduced in the
new congress the same bill which
passed the House Of Representatives
This spring by such a surprisingly
large majority and was defeated at
the last moment in the Senate by the
objection Of Senator Overman of
North Carolina. It evidently regards
this bill, which would eliminate chill
dren under IA from factories and
would establish the eight-hour day

workers under 16 years of age merely
as necessary first step toward a con-
structive campaign of education and
training for all children under Is,
