BAND CONCERTS
DISCUSSED--4kT
FEDERATION MEET

A fair sized attendance of dele.
gates were ut the meeting OF the Twin
City Federation Of Labor Wednesday
night, and a considerable amount Of
business was done, the most import
ant Of which, SO far as the city at
large Is concerned, was the stand
taken by the delegates towards mu-
nicipal ownership Of an up-to-date
system of motor buses TO displace the
antiquated trolley cars now IN use In
the Twin Cities.
A proposition that the ualonlsle
contribute toward financing a series
OF ten band concerts by the Associat-
ed Musicians Band at Crystal Lake
Park was discussed pro and con, many
of the delegates being In favor of the
proposition, while some opposed IT,,
the principal ground for opposition
being their contention that tax H.
being paid for such purpose and they
felt the money so collected should be
applied as Il was intended. BY unnni-
nous vote, however, a committee was
appointed TO confer with local unions
with the view of seeing what support
may be had.
The building code committee re-
ported that violations of the city's
building code are still taking place,
and cited an instance at the corner
of North First street and Park ave
nue., where an old building IL being
patched up contrary TO the provisions
of the code. The matter Is TO be laid
before the proper city officials.
Treasurer Daugherty Of the 1921
Labor Day committee reported rebate
checks ready for distribution. Sew.
eral checks were returned To the
unions through their delegates.
The chairman Of the 1922 Labor
Day committee stated plans were

PREPARATIONS FOR
LABOR DAY ARE
WELL UNDER WAY

The Labor Day committee held a
meeting Friday to receive the reports
from the various sub-chairmen and
make further details for the big cele-
bration.
Each member Is rapidly getting
the preliminary work assigned to
them completed.
As the world championship wrest-
ling bout is a by-product to the big
celebration the members Of the COM
fnitteet instructed the chairman To
take complete charge of that feature
including sale of tickets and publicity
and to make final report to general
committee at the close of the celebra-
fion.
A fireworks display Of a different"
nature has been selected. 1t Will
include two spectacular events.
Free boxing and wrestling is being
arranged for the afternoon. Entries
are now being secured for the auto
races.
Most of the locals have decided to
have concessions and are appointing
their committees to be ready to act
as soon as the general committee
calls for them.

Can't Dilute unionism.

Cincinnati.-A trade union cannot
be half trade union and half some
thing else and remain a trade union'
saws John p. Frey, editor lnterna-
tional Moulders' Journal.
"The workman can and should have
MANY interests in life, but his trade
union is something separate and apart
from all of these, and if it is to be
fully successful it must be kept pure
ly a trade union movement. II evl,
dence to support this fundamental
truth is desired, it is only necessary
to examine the history of these or
ganizations which tried to be parity
5n;nns and partly something else at
the same time. In every instance they
failed to show healthy growth, and
have invariably given evidence OF
their inability to protect their men,
bers from imposition, while many OF
them have passed out of existence

The regular quarterly meeting of
the Twin City COOPERATIVE Society
will be held at Labor Hall on WedEes-
day evening, June z, at 7:30 o'clock,
instead of Monday, June 8, as former

The committee in charge of the
meeting is arranging a program that
should be of interest to every CO.
operator. 1t is expected several visit
ing co-operators will be here from
outside cities.
The Cooperative Guild will serve
refreshments, and the store is going
to give prizes in the way of groceries
to those who are present on time.

Nullifying Rail Act.

Washington.-''If the railroads sub
iect to the transportation act can
legally farm out their shop work and
labor to private establishments under
wage and working conditions at var,
ience with those fixed by the railroad
labor board" says the New York
World, "they can in equal independ-
ence contract with outside parties to
operate the trains and supply the
labor therefor, whether it be engin-
eers or firemen or conductors or train
men or other. And if this can be
legally done, then the transportation
act in its vital features of public
regulation to avert strikes and their
calamitous interruptions of traffic can
be evaded and nullified at will by the
roads themselves.
"The roads must keep under the
law in their relations with employees
as in other particulars. 1t was never
made to be observed only in SO far
as the roads like it and to be kicked
in the face in so far as they do not
like it."
