Executive Council Of State Fed
GRAFTON Considers Proposal at
Quarterly Meeting.

Henry Pereault, vice president of
the State Federation Of Labor from
the Eighth District, at the Federated
Trades Assembly meeting Friday night
made a short report of the proceed
ings of the quarterly meeting of the
executive council at St. Paul recently.
He stated that the proposition of
engaging legal advisor permanently
was brought up for discussion. The
recent street car trouble in the Twin
Cities brought. out the necessity of
having high-grade, dependable legal
advice. It was finally decided to leave
this matter in the hands of the Off
Gals Of THE State Federation and the
vice presidents in the Twin Cities, so
that meetings may conveniently be
held 1t is expected that a report
will be made at the executive council
meeting in April, and, when the state
convention meets at Virginia in July,
it will be possible to submit a full re-
port to the delegates, when it is
probable that some action will be
taken.
Claim Subservience.
According to Mr.. Pereault, the
Printing Pressman's Union of St.
Paul brought ! before the executive
council meeting the matter of the
Public. Safety commission being con-
trolled by Governor Burnquist It
was claimed that, regardless of affili-
ations, any appointee of the commits
sion must be subservient to the inter-
ests responsible for his appointment.
In this way it was shown that it would
be impossible to have a genuine rep
resentative of organized labor on the
commission.
Mr.. Pereault distributed copies of
the Minnesota Union Advocate, Off
cial organ Of the State Federation, in
which was printed full account of
the proceedings Of the meeting of the
executive council.
William Murnian, the other vice
president Of the Eighth district, also
attended the meeting at St. Paul.

Carpenters Union Admits SeV-

Service Flag.

The large increase of shipbuilding
work in the Superior district is re-
fected in the additions to the men,
bership of several locals, and it is
expected that the organized labor
movement will be materially strength

Carpenters Union No. 755, several
carpenters employed at the shipyards
were initiated, and some applications
were made which will be considered
at the next meeting.
A service flag will hereafter adorn
the hall, four members of the local
already being in the service. Their
dues are being paid, and the secre-
tary has been instructed to CORES
pond with them and do everything
possible to show true spirit of broth
erhood.
A trade movement is contemplated
for next spring, and the outlook for
great activity in the building line is
good.

DIFFERS With
MILLER AS TO
MILITARY BILL
Trades Assembly Reaffirms
Stand Against Universal
Training System.

The outstanding feature of the
meeting Of the Federated Trades AS
sembly last Friday night was the en-
phatic stand taken by the assembly
against the attitude of Congressman
c. B. Miller toward universal military
training.
- About month ago copy of reso-
1utions adopted by the central body
denouncing the principle of compul-
sorry military training and protesting
against. the passage of the Chamber
lain bill in congress was sent to the
Eighth district lawmaker. Friday
night Mr.. Miller's reply was read at
the meeting, stating that he cannot
share the. views of the assembly, be-
leving heartily in universal military
training as means Of perfecting the
physical. strength and training of our
young men,.
After several delegates had pointed
out that the cause Of the allies in this
war was to destroy militarism, and
that to-: adopt "a system of universal
military training would be inconsist-
ent with the aims of this country, the
secretary was instructed to again
communicate with Congressman Mil
Ter, stating the viewpoint of organized
labor. The delegates present were
urged to have, their respective locals
take similar action. ~: - ) :
