McEwen was elected secretary of the state Federation and James McDowell re-elected treasurei. Duluth can justly wear the crown of victory. The social ists owe their defeat to the Duluth delegation, who voted solidly against seating the S. L. P. delegates.

A letter was read at the conven tion, however, stating that their union voted unainmously in favor of resolution No 6. The carpenters, at their last meeting, elected officers as fol lows: Delegate Aul, president McCleary, vice-president Heller, secretary Gibson, treasurer. The carpenters in this city expect soon to have shorter work days and an established rate of wages.

The country waits, impatiently. To Workingmen: Look for the Garment Workers' Label when buying garments of any kind, and remember that the firm of Geo. L. Swift & Co., St. S Paul, Minn., manufacturers of the "Chef Bran" of shirts, over alls, jean pants, barbers, butch ers, waiters and bartenders' jackets, aprons, etc., is not a union firm, having broken every agreement with the Garment Workers' union and the St. Paul Trades Assembly.
