dered by them in the contest. I feel
very keenly the necessity Of collect
ing and tabulating the information
manent 70 form. G not Only for POI our ppe Sent
satisfa elton. but for future use by our
selves and the historians of the period.
thersfose heartily recommena that
ton providing. for the collection and
compilation of the information men
toned in order that we may have COM
in position to prove to all inquirers
at any time that the labor movement
of Minnesota went gallantly to the
front with. the greater part Of it's
made many heroic sacrifices in the
worlds most momentous fight for free
dom and self-government for all the
peoples Of the earth.
Reference Library Progressing.
The convention Of 1917. held in Fari-
bault, adopted a recommendation made
by me at that time for the establish
ment Of a reference library in the
office of your secretary. The time that
has since passed has demonstrated the
value Of this action. as today this
library contains more than $50 vol
umes covering an extended variety of
subjects dealing with or of interest to
the labor movement, and all carefully
and completely indexed. In addition
there are "a filing. cases containing
special articles on different phases of
trade union activities.
AS an aid in legislative work and in
furnishing information in arbitration
proceedings this adjunct of the fed
GRAFTON is invaluable. In my opinion,
as time passes this reference library
highly priced possessions of the fed
GRAFTON. And, it is pleasing to note,
that in connection with the library
proper there are on file in the office
OF the secretary nearly all Of the trade
union journals published in the coun-
try. copies being sent to the office
through the courtesy of the various
international organizations

1t is very encouraging to note that
number of the communities in the
state have awakened to their respon-

BIZ Associated Press.


WASHINGTON, March 1:-Senatof
Knox, of Pennsylvania, former secre-
tary of state, speaking today in the
senate, assailed the league of nations
as striking down American constitu-
tional principles and proposed a new
world organization which, he said,
would preserve the Monroe doctrine
and save America from the results
of European intrigue and aggression"
He said the constitution of the
league as presented to the peace con-
ference sanctions, breeds and COM
mands war"
What benefit is to come from such
a sale of the country as is being urged
upon us?" he asked "Who are the
beneficiaries of this betrayal of our
people?"
He said that if the people of the
United States desired what he thought
a real league of nations to prevent
war and mot building coalition to
further trade or preserve and expand
territorial possession" it might be se-
cured through the formation of an
international organization comprising
all the nations Of the world.

The Republican club will hold an
important meeting on March 13, at
which the election of officers for the
ensuing year will take place. This

sion of club affairs, both in the maxi

The election of a county clerk is
also receiving the attention of both

s.anasay appeared before the health
board last night as q committee ap-
pointed by the board of governors at
the hospital to confer with health
authorities to see II combination OF
the two laboratories could not be
brought about so that both the health
board and the hospital could use 1t
and work would be done to the mu-
tual benefit of all. The doctors
thought that If a combination could
be effected that many advantages
would obtain and more efficient work
could be accomplished as there would
be a larger field in which to work.
The board of health decided after
considerable discussion to have the
health officer take complete inven-
tory of stock in the laboratory and
make an accurate account of main
tenance cost at the present time and
then arrange with the board of gov
ernors of the hospital for a suitable
time at which the matter might be
considered IN detail by both boards.
The United States Railroad Admin
istration informed the health board
by letter that the unsanitary condition
of the laboratories at the Central rail-
road sttaion, about which the board
complained some time ago as being
a detriment to the public health,
would be remedied Immediately.
The question of the trouble with the
bad meat at the butchery of Myer IL
Pribula which came to the attention
of the board some time ago, came up
for consideration again last night and
IL was learned that the case had not
yet been tried in the recorders court.
1t was learned that the alleged rotten
meat had been passed by government
inspectors some time ago, but that
when delivered to a Newark f1rm II
was rancid because IL had not been
kept properly during transportation.
II was then sold to the firm in this
city, where 10 was discovered by the
health officer to be in a deeomposed
state, so accordingly II was con-
demned and ordered denstured at
once.
G. w .Stilwell appeared before the
board at their request last night con-
cerning some plumbing installed in
the new recreation building at the
A. S. & r. plant, which does not con-
form to the code of the plumbing de-
partment of the board. Mr.. Stilwell
contended that from board of health
standpoint the work as it now stands
is perfectly proper and that 1t would
be a crime TO deface one of the rooms
10y running up vent pipes to connect
with numerous wash basins which are
not now given any vent outlet. The
board demanded that a floor drain
which now goes into fresh air inlet
must be altered so as to make IL Isare
sanitary. II was finally decided that
plumbing inspector make an investi-
cation to see II conditions warrant
alterations.
