CARPENTERS OF
MINNEAPOLIS
need EDUCATION
File Detroit Prote s t
on Expulsions

MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, March A.
The blind followers Of Gear Hutche-
son were out in force at the meeting
Of the Carpenters Local No. Z here.
Two weeks ago resolution was read
from Lodge No. 214O in Detroit pro.
testing against the methods Of perse-
cution being followed by the national
president.
At that time motion was made to
write letter to Hutchinson asking
him for information relative to the
charges. At the meeting last night
his reply was before the body. Three
pages Of fiimsy excuses in which
bombastic charges of dualism and so
forth were made against the T. U. E.
L.
Motion to File Carries.
Comrade Roseland, Johnson, and
other left wingers took the floor in an
attempt to show up the policy being
followed against the progressive ele-
ments, but their efforts were without
avail. The reactionaries led by Nels
Nelson, Geo. Yaeger, j. R. Bjorklund
and "Whiskey Red" Anderson, per-
formed in high class manner for the
reactionaries and were able to swing
the majority vote on the motion to
file the communication.
A letter from Painters Union No.
1856 calling upon all building trades
locals to elect committee to attend
a conference to consider ways and
means Of Immediately launching an
organization campaign was read.
Bjorklund, a reactionary business
agent, feared that uniting with other
building trades unions may upset his
plans Of doing business with the car
penter bosses.
Don't Want Any Organization Drive.
He advocated a policy of isolation
for the carpenters and attempted to
justify his position by citing the fact
that the Building Trades Council had
not functioned in the past.
Comrade Roseland led the fight in
Ae"'SA VI SupROII 1OT the movement
and pointed out that the only way an
effective organization campaign could
be launched and any success made in
defeating the citizens alliance would
have to be had thru united action of
all building trades unions.
The reactionaries again modified
their entire strength and succeeded in
defeating the motion to cooperate
with the painters. The meeting was
then closed after a talk by the city
assessor in which he explained the
question of taxes to the carpenters.
Some time ago the local went on rec
ord to carry on educational activities
and the highest form of education
that the committee in charge has so
far been able to bring forth in talks
such as was made here.

BOSSES TRY TO
KILL 8-HOUR DAY
FOR The WOMEN
Illinois Manufacturers
Urge 9-Hour Day

SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, March 3.-The
woman's eight-hour bill, regulating
the time of employment for women
who labor faced an old and formid-
able foe today as machinery was
set in motion to completely choke 1t
by supporting nine-hour bill.
According to members Of the legis-
lature, the Illinois manufacturers as
sociation is leading the fight against
the eight-hour bill and has decided
to repeat the tactics by which il was
chloroformed two years ago.
Go Before Committee.
Officials of the Women's Trade I'm
ion League are planning to go before
the joint session of the house and
senate committees on industrial
affairs with demand that the origi-
nal eight-hour bill be passed as
drafted.
Returning legislators today were
greeted with bill giving the people
the right to levy an additional tax for
the payment Of flremen's salaries.
The bill is applicable to all cities
and villages with the single exception
Of Chicago. 1t provides that on a
petition signed by one-eighth of the
legal voters, the question Of levying
an additional tax not exceeding one
mill, shall be submitted to a general
or special election, and if majority
of those voting on the question favor
it this special tax shall be levied I'M
til the authority by which it was le-
WED is revoked by similar vote.
The question cannot be voted on
oftener than once in IS months, and
the measure in no wise curtails the
right of the city council or board Of
trustees, to use any funds levied by
general taxation for firemen's sal
aries.

Snowfall Brings
Relief from Cold

Yesterday brought some relief
from the bitter cold that gripped ehe
city over the weekend. Very early
in the morning snow began to fall
and by the middle of the forenoon a
blanket about three inches thick
was lying on top of that which had
already fallen. Toward noon the
srcw changed to slcet and gradually
stopped.
During the last two days the tenn
perat,n'e has made slow but steady
rise. Thermometer readings Monday
morning were as low as II degrees
below zero in some parts of the city
anti by yesterday afternoon they
were in the vicinity Of 20 above.
Travel from Waterville to Angus
ia by automobile is still possible but
it is very precarious. Before the
snowfall OF Tuesday the road was
deeply rutted and the motorist was
at all timess in imminent danger of
skidding. The additional snowfall
has been crusted over and VIII not
drift so that the condition of the road
is much the same as it was last week.
