been sent out from his office in adj
dltion to the regular correspondence;
that liberal responses had been re-
ceived to the appeal for assistance
for the iocked-out tile settlers of the
Twin Cities, and that their trouble
with their employers had been
settled; that 13 new unions had been
affiliated with the State Federation
Of Labor; that additional help had
been required in the office and its
employment had been authorized by
the Twin City vice presidents; and that
he had attended a mass meeting of
union men and city officials in Fari-
bault to aid in starting the work Of
preparing for the convention that is
to- meet in that city in July.
The secretary also requested the
council to decide during the meeting
upon the recommendations it wished
to make to the convention, if any, in
order that he might be able to include
them in his annual report. He in
cluded in his report a statement
showing the financial condition of the
federation. Since the last meeting
of the council the receipts have been
$649.19 in the general fund and
$647.19 in the organization fund.
The expenditures from the general
fund, for the same period, including
all legislative expenses, were ST.
770.49, and from the organization
fund they were $277.70. 1t was found
necessary to transfer $1,000 from the
1917 year book account to cover a
deficit. This transfer having been
made, the balances at the time of
the meeting were: In the general
fund $2O5.41, and in the organization
fund $412.3S.
Various Recommendations Acted on.
Recommendations made in the re-
ports of the vice president and from
other sources were then taken up
and acted on in order.
The recommendation to request the
Faribault convention to increase the
salary of the secretary Of the State
Federation of Labor was discussed by
several members of the council who
cited the increased burden of work
on the secretary's office, the steadily
rising cost Of living and the Unequal
ity between the secretary's pay and
that of international organizers who
are not called upon to do near as
much work or bear anything like the
same weight Of responsibility as rea-
sons for the raise. On motion of
Vice President Pereault the council
unanimously agreed to recommend
that the secretary's salary be raised
to $3.50 a month.
By the same vote the pay of Presi-
dent Hall, which is under the control
of the council, was raised from 81
to SIS a day, with the provisions for
expenses unchanged, the raise to take

TWO PLATOON SYSTEM
IN PENNSYLVANIA

HARRISBURG, Pa, April 60
After many years of agitation Phila-
delphia firemen won their fight for
shorter hours when Governor Brum-
baush signed the two-platoon bill.
This measure, which becomes eff
fective on January 1, 1915, provides
that the fire fighters shall work two
shifts instead Of the, present system,
which compels fireman to remain
on duty five days and five nights.
Under the new system the day force
will work ten. hours and the night
force fourteen hours.
At present firemen get but one day
off in every six and, except for the
three hours allowed for meals, are on
duty continuously.

FOOD PRODUCTION
AND CONSERVATION
Committee Appointed By Cover
nor Burnquist Is
Very Active.

Minnesota's agricultural industries
are being organized as never before,
and, perhaps, as no other states farm
work is being organized for the quick
and large increase of food production
and conservation.
The state committee on food pro-
duction and conservation, though
appointed by Gov. J. A. A. Burnquist
less than two weeks ago, has been so
we'll organized and through it's seven
subcommittee has worked so indus
triously that already complete plans
and programs for the organization
and work of local war committees
are in the hands of community lead
ers in every part of the state.
The local war committees are being
organized on the same plan as the
state committee. with subcommittee
to look after the special problems of
crop production, livestock, labor mo-
bilization, marketing. finance and
credits, home economics, and public
ity. AS soon as organized each local
committee reports to A. D. Wilson,
chairman of the state committee and
head of the state committees execu-
tive committee at University Farm,
st. Paul, and then begins to push
work for the first great end of the
mOVement-the increase Of the crop
acreage Of the state to the utmost
limit.
Each local committee is listing all
farm-trained labor availa BILE and
making a careful estimate of the
farm labor needed in the vicinity
through the crop season. BY this
means it will be able to appeal to w.
f. Houk, state labor commissioner,
for exactly as much transient labor as
it may need to supply any deficiency
in the local labor supply.
Each committee, again, is tackling
the problem of increasing the wheat
acreage, where wheat can be grown,
of getting the farmers to grow more
corn, to grow flax, buckwheat, pota-
toes, and such other crops E. as the
emergency-which is of the gravest
import-demands.
The problems of livestock, special
rural credits for the purchase of seed
and other necessities, home economies
and labor, marketing, and, publicity
are all being worked out in the same
thorough-going manner. "a
BY this plan of organization every
corner Of the state is being reached.
and through it Minnesota is expected
to show. when the returns are sreck-
oned up at the close of the crop year,
that it has given its full share of
patriotic service to the nation, at least
in SO far as food production and con-
servation are concerned. s.s@& ! :

ing Of any kind, whether peaceful or
otherwise.
Organized labor throughout the en-
tire state feels jubilant over the fact
that all attempts to emasculate the
primary and non-partisan laws dis
mally failed. The movement for the
return to a. partisan legislature did
not spring from the people, but from
discreGited political BOSSES formerly
in On the distribution of political
plums. These were the only people
anxious to restore the old convention
above, every attempt to do this was
blocked.
Suffrage Beaten.
This year the women of Minnesota
asked the legislature for the right to
vote for presidential electors, but this
bill met with defeat by a narrow mar
gin. Labor organizations, particularly
in the northern portion Ct the state,
lined up in support Of the women,
and it is keen disappointment to
them that the action of the Minnesota
State Federation of Labor at the Hib-
bing and Winona conventions in re-
pudiating equal suffrage prevented
that organization from exercising it's
influence in support Of this bill.
State insurance for Industrial acct
dents was temporarily defeated, but
the widespread propaganda carried
on throughout the entire state cannot
foil tn hovo orao+ offoo< y, hri,, ci =, &,
to the attention of the employers and
employees in Minnesota the fact that
state insurance is the only solution to
the problem of compensation for in
jured workmen.
The three amendments to the corr .
pensation law, mentioned at the be-
ginning of this article. will necessitate
higher insurance rates and will event.
nally force employers to recognize
that some other system is "a bsointely
necessary. 1t is hoped that the State
Federation of Labor will continue it's
agitation for state insurance. There
Is no question but the agitation car
ried on by that organization during
the past two years has borne fruit and
will result in the adoption of state
insurance in Minnesota in the near
future.
Compared With 1913.
Taken all in all, labor did not fare
SO badly at the hands Of the legisla-
ture. In fact, our achievements this
session are so far ahead Of what was
accomplished during the 1915 session
that there can be no comparison.
When it is remembered that the war
situation threw damper over every
thing. the achievements during the
session just closed were far greater
than most of us really expected. ~ :,

this place, with sick headache, and

Ten years ago a friend told me to
try Thedford's Black-Draught, which l
did, and found it to be the best fami-
ly medicine for young and old.
I keep Black-Draught on hand all
the time now, and when my children
feel little bad, they ask me for a
dose, and it does them more good than
any medicine they ever tried.
We never have a long spell of sick
ness in our family, since we commenc-
ed using Black-Draught."
Thedford's Black-Draught is purely
vegetable, and has been found to regu-
late weak stomachs, aid digestion, re-
lieve indigestion, collie, wind, nausea,
headache, sick stomach, and similar
symptoms.
