W. A. VANEPS Proprietor. The ladies of the M. E. church ‘vill hold a bazaar at Village hall on Saturday evening, the 22nd. There will be a candy booth, fish ‘pond, and all other necessary ad- affair of this kind, and} all are cordially invited to attend. The dtfairs given by these ladies are most enjoyable and a is being made to make this event particularly so. The co-operative potato ware- aouse of J. H. Grady & Co., has eeen busy of late receiving the season’s crop. This is an institu- tion of of inestimable value to Co- Jsasget, providing as it does a inarket for one of the most impr | Portant erops of this section right at our door. The yield this year was fairly good and of excellent quality; and farmers expect to get #good returns when the price of the staple has reached its winter level. a J. M. Jewell, recently of Beards- ley, Big Stone county, has purchas- ed an interest in the grocery busi- ness of R. K. Stokes. It is the inten- tion of the new firm to enlarge their quarters and put im a complete stock af dry goods in connection with the grocery and provision business already conducted. Mr. Jewell is an experienced live stock man, and one of the first trans- actions of the new firm was to ship out the first car of live stock from Cohasset . This will here- aftey be part of the business of the concern, poultry being added to the commodities in whica they will deal. A business louse of this kind, taking the produce that the farms of the neighborhood provide, will mean much to the agricultural population & and we bespeak for th- - most successful care: BOMPERS MAKES ANNUAL REPORT Federation of. Labor Assem= bles at Seattle. MEMBERSHIP IS LARGER Official Statistics Show That More Than Two Million Organized Work- ers Are United Under the Parent Body, a Large Gain in the Past Year. Seattle, Wash., Nov. 11.—Labor chiefs from the entire country gath- ered here for the thirty-third annual convention of the American Federa- The young people of the village | house was opened to the public on 2 of Labor. gave a hard time party at Village ‘Monday evening. This is an inno- Minimum wage legislation, especial- ly for women, will be one of the big- gest problems before this session. The labor chiefs, believing that the minimum wage for women workers is a proper solution of low pay at this time, will urge that the federation go on record in favor of it. Determined opposition in some quar- ters was expected at the opening of the convention, because many of the several hundred delegates argued that capital would take advantage of such legislation and make the minimum standard also the maximum. This con- tention was answered by the claim | that only by setting some standard can women workers gain a fair wage un- der the present labor conditions. Growth of the Industrial Workers of the World movement did not alarm the leading delegates and they de- clared that this new labor sect, preaching syndicalism rather than per- suasion, had not assumed dangerous proportions and had interferred only in some instances with workers who preferred to join unions. President Gompers and the execu- tive council presented to the conven- tion a report of work in the past year and recommendations for the future. Report of President Gompers. Constructive legislation to benefit the more than 2,000,000 members of the American Federation of Labor and allied organizations was urged in the report of President Samuel Gompers. 2 Picturing the labor movement as one of practical idealism, dealing with the raw stuff of life, and branding in- dustrial managements, as cruel and heartiess in self-interests, the report showed a remarkable progress of unionism in the past year. The federation closed its fiscal year with a balance of $105,063.05, after re- ceiving in its thirty-three years’ ex- istence $2,882,334.45 and expending $2,777,271.40. Official membership of the federation and allied bodies was placed at 2,054,526, an increase of 213,258 in the last year, with a total of 322 charters. Nine hundred and sixty-nine strikes have marked labor’s war against capi- tal in the past year, involving 294,- 236 persons, benefitting 186,644, and | junets that go lo make a successful costing $3,464,215.91 to sustain mem- bers on strike. Improvement in membership of the house and senate judiciary commit- tees was noted with the retirement of many members of “Uncle Joe Can- non’s morgue” and the infusion of fresh blood into congress. Members of the federation were urged to use their influence to get passage of pend- ing injunction limitation bills, and the workman’s compensation commit- tee reported progress in framing meas- ures for more extensive and fairer compensation acts than now exist. Congress Censured. Congress was censured for its atti- tude on the department of labor. In this respect the report said, in part:° “We cannot too strongiy condemn the niggardly, picayunish policy of congress in dealing with the only de- partment entrusted with promoting the welfare of the wage earner.” A bureau of labor safety and a museum of safety appliances were advocated in a section which said: “Competition has been so merciless, and organizations of corporations 80 heartless that human interests have been sacrificed in the struggle for profits.” Creation of a federal bureaw of health was foreseen in the attitude of congress and the decrease of oppo sition from special interests which, hitherto have fought the establish- ment of such’an organization. That the federation proposes to car- Ty on a vigorous campaign for more labor representation in the next con- gressional campaign was evidenced in the report of the labor representa’ tion committee which asked that the committee be authorized to collect voluntary subscriptions from individ ual members of the federation.
