2 Winston Churchill's Visit Books upon every phase of South Afri caa life, as well as the actual campaign ing iv the Boer war, have been eagerly sought during the past eighteen months and any person who has had any personal knowledge of the region or the people has not lacked for an audience. Minneapolis 1b to have the pleasure of hearing from the lecture platform the first of the prominent participants of the struggle to speak upon his experiences and observations. Winston Spencer Churchill, the bril liant young English war correspondent and veteran soldier, will appear in Min neapolis Jan. 18, at the Lyceum theater, under the auspices of the Teachers' Club. This lecture is not a part of the regular entertainment course, as the arrange ments for that were completed before Mr. Churchill decided ur-on his American tour. The club, however, was so convinced that he would be the bright particular star of the lecture platform this year, if he de cided to lecture, that at the first sugges tion the lecture committee got the refusal of his date here.and when it was offered to the club after the lecture course was ar ranged, the club arranged to bring him for an extra lecture. Mr. Churchill has been lecturing in the east for about a month and has been greet ed by large and fashionable audiences which have shown their cordiality to the young man in marked ways. His manner shows his inexperience as a public speak er, but he has something to tell that is worth hearing and his simple and unaf fected directness gives it a fascinating quality which is not eloquence but which answers much the same purpose. He is a ready speaker, scarcely referring to his A " Barb" Among the Elect An amusing complication occurred recently at an informal dancing party given by one of the sororities at the "U." The December "Mag" contained a story of two university freshmen of the same name. One was popular socially and had been pledged by a fraternity. A certain sorority gave a dancing party and invited the pledgeling. But the invitation was by mistake placed in the postofflce box of the other freshman of the same name, which name is given as Potiphar Gee. The un pledged Potiphar Gee, unable to appreciate the fitness of things, went to the party, notwithstanding the fact that he knew none of the girls in the sorority, save one whom he had met in the class room. The "Mag" story added to this foundation of fact a pretty superstructure—in cidents of the conflict of names before the sorority party; how Potiphar Gee, the barbarian, saw his name in the Daily as a pledgeling to the fraternity and dreamed that it was he, and not the other Potiphar; of troubles in getting letters from sweethearts mixed, etc. The tale was, therefore, looked upon as fiction, but it was in substance true. Potiphar Gee, the "barb," went to the party. He had considerable difficulty in remembering the girls, who kindly insisted that they knew him well, but he filled his program and danced through the evening. Trouble came when Potiphar talked over the inviting bus-mess with one of the girls, and both were unable to understand the whys and wherefores. Potiphar when he saw his mistake, was not to be shaken and turned the whole matter off lightly, Insisting that he didn't mind the embar rassment a bit, and thought It was a huge joke on the other Potiphar. The girls treated him civilly, of course, but the next morning, when he met seven of the girls in the hall of the library and Hashed upon them his brightest smile as he came up and said in a most pleasing way, "Good morning," he received seven cold, stony stares. S. D. Teachers' New Leader —'" ■■*■■ >■' ■■"...-•*.* * Special to The Journal. , Yankton, S. D., Jan. s.—Professor George H. Smith of the South Dakota university, occupying the chair of modern languages and pedagogy, and just elected president of. the. State Educational Asso ciation, is a native of Maine and an alumnus of Colby college, Waterville, in that Btate. He has held his present po sition in the university for ten years. Previous he was prominent in educational work in the east, being principal of large high schools near Bo&ton. He spent a year near Giessen, Germany, studying few notes. Light touches of humor, intro duced with apparent unconsciousness, give interesting touches to a narrative that ia thrilling in itself. His subject la "The War As I Saw It," and he describes the conditions as he found them on his arrival in Africa, the armored train incident, his life in Pre toria as a captive, his escape, the battles and marches about Spion Kop and the capture of Ladysmith. His American leanings are shown by hie sentiments, "I do not wish to see our flag float longer over the parliament building of Pretoria than is absolutely necessary to restore peace, justice, good will and supremacy of that morality for which the British name stands." And again, "The friendly criticism of the United States will, I be lieve, be a most powerful and valuable factor in the ultimate adjustment of the differences between Boer and Briton." Mr. Churchill delivers no opinion on the justice of the war, but says that as an Englishman he is not ashamed of what hia country has done". He says the time will surely come when wise and practical men will arise who out of the results of this war will create such blessings for South Africa that both conquered and conqueror will forget its bloody memories. He gives the Boers great credit, saying: "They fought with wonderful courage, and inflicted much heavier loss on the Eng lish forces than they have been given credit for. But in justice to British arms, it should be said that the British com mander misunderstood the situation when, under cover of night (at Spion Kop) he withdrew his tired troops, and thus ended the most dramatic incident of the entire war." philosophy and pedagogy. He was princi pal of the Canton, N. V., academy before coming to South Dakota. During the ten years he has been in this state he has won the esteem and respect of the educators. He has con tributed much to the literature of the state and is one of the authors of' The History end Civil Government of South Dakota," "The State and Nation" and "Elements of Pedagogy." His addresses and lectures on current topics have made him well and favorably known beyond the limits of his adopted state. His election was unanimous. THE MINNEAPOLIS JOURNAL. In Labor's Field UNITED THEY STAND No Disposition to Disband Central Labor Organizations. SO SAY MANY LABORING MEN All Talk to the Contrary, It • » Said, la the Worst Kind of Fiction. Members of the Trades and Labor coun cil indignantly repudiate the attempt of a morning paper to belittle the standing of the council and Its influence with or ganized labor in Minneapolis. They say there s no foundation for the statement that there is any well defined feeling in the trades affiliated with the council that the organization is a handicap rather than an assistance to them. On- the contrary, they insist that the trades would as soon think of disbanding their individual unions as of making any move toward the disintegration of the combined organiza tion. The workers generally recognize the benefits derived from standing together and being in a position to take concerted action when occasion requires. They feel; that the present strength of organized la bor would be greatly impaired if they could not get together and take counsel of each other for their common welfare, and that it is this very consolidation of interests and concentration of effort which enables them to make their demands on capital more forceful. Without a common ground on which to meet, they point out, individual unions, acting often in con flict with each other, would not accom plish much. The assertion that the Plasterers' union might be the fir3t to break away from the council called forth some vigorous pro tests from members of that trade. They emphatically deny that there is any dispo sition on the part of any of them to with draw from the union, in order to compro mise matters with the bosses. Not only I will they insist on the adoption of the ; new scale which provides for an increase ; of 14 per cent in wages for the coming ! season, but they will agree to no compro mise whereby such an increase may hz granted on condition that employers can i contract for union or non-union jobs, as ' they see fit. There are none so base or ! so blind to their own interests in the. Plasterers' union or any other affiliated trades, according to a number of dele gates seen at the council headquarters this i morning, who would for a moment con sent to any such suicidal step—a conces sion which would be little short of fatal j to future insistence on the exclusive em- ; ployment of trades union men. Said one ; member: There is not a plasterer in the union who would for a moment consent to any action in the nature of a compromise, whether it meant higher wages or not, which would necessitate the union's withdrawal fron? the * ; Building Trades Council. The men realize that the bosses would do as they pleased ■with them once they got them out from under the powerful protection of the council. They would then dictate their own terms and could employ nonunion men exclusive ly, if the union men had no objection to working on equal terms with them. You will find this same sentiment dominant with the carpenters, painters, plumbers, bricklayers or| members of any other craft. A few sore heads and malcontents there may be in the different unions. They are a thorn in our flesh, but to say that they recognize any sober, working sentiment is a gross misrep resentation of the facts. BUSINESS AGE\T PROBLEM A Sew Plan to Be Proposed in Build ins Trades Council. Quite an innovation will be proposed at the meeting of the Building Trades coun cil next Thursday. It is suggested that the number of business agents for build ing trades unions be limited to three, one each for as many districts of the city, i There are at present six or more business j agents, one for each union of importance. ! A resolution has been prepared and will j be introduced providing that all business I agents or secretaries be elected by vote ! of the council, not more than one being j from a single trade. The number is to be determined by the j council, subject to the approval of a ma- i jority of the unions. Each agent is to be ! assigned a district, and must keep within i the limits of that district. No one will j be recognized as a business agent unless ' elected by the council, and business agents are not to be allowed seats in the council. They will only be allowed on the j floor of the council by consent of that j body. Salaries of business agents are to be paid by a per capita tax on all mem bers of affiliated unions. The promoters of this plan hardly expect j it to go through at once, but they do ex- | pect to get sentiment to working. Their idea is to have three districts, north, south and east, and have the agent for. each district represent all the unions with- , in his territory. HALF HAVE VOTED Question of Affiliation With A. F. L. Is Still in Doubt. About half of the unions of the city have voted on the proposition for the Trades and Labor council to affiliate with the , American Federation of Labor. Those ! that have voted are about evenly divided, and so the result is very much in doubt, but the indications are that it will not pass. If the proposition carries, it will put some of the Minneapolis unions in a pe culiar predicament. The Retail Salesmen's association, for instance, is not connected with the Federation of Labor, and is strongly opposed to joining it. It has at present a northwestern association, which for all practical purposes satisfies it Its members say that there would be no benefit from joining the federation, while they would be taxed for the support of the national organization. The St. Paul council is affiliated with the federation and the retail clerks and other unions outside of the federation are al lowed to send delegates to the council, but have no vote. The same condition of affairs may come about here. NOX-INIONISTS Carpenters Make a. Bid for Those of Their Craft. At the meeting of Carpenters' and Join- ! era' Local Union, No. 7, last evening, Business Agent Blakefield submitted his annual report. He stated that out 0f*859 jobs in the city during 1900, 356 were classed as nonunion jobs. There are over 200 nonunion carpenters in the city, and in order to encourage them to join the union the report recommended that the • initiation fee of $25 be reduced. The union went on record against the ! scheme of employing district business agents. The members declared in favor of the present system, having their own ' business agent for the entire city. Trade and Labor < onncil. The Trades j.nd Labor Council met Wednes day evening, with a very good attendance. The organization committee reported that it was meeting with fair success. A communi cation was read from Typographical union. No. 42, repudiating a certain paper claiming to represent the union, and protesting against the advertisements of certain cigars in such paper. Delegate Harvey reported that a. committee of the council had visited the manager of the Western Union, and that he had stated that there would be no opposition to employe* Joining the union. W. S. Chis holm waa indorsed for retention In his posi tion as police officer, and F. O. Dustiu for his present place as wire Inspector. Carpentrea Install Officers. Carpenters and Joiners' local union. No. 7, met last night and installed the following officers: President, P. J. O. Carrier; vice president, S. P. Meadows; recording secre tary.

Carlson, Gus Johnson, A. Harvey. Business Agent Blake iii*id was re-elected, Tho union took a new departure In the matter of sick benefits. Heretofore they have beeu in charge of sixteen members of the union, divided among the thirteen wards. The union decided to consolidate this work, and put it in the hands of one man, to work on a salary. Patrick Chiasson was elected to fill the place. This union paid $1,800 in sick benefits in 1900. Haven't Voted Vet. The Press Feeders' union has practically decided not to strike. A vote has never been taken, and probably will not be. The iivc-year contract with the job printers hac still three years to run, and the press feed ers did not get any encouragement from the other printing trades. Plasterer* Elect. Plasterers' union, No. 65, held Its annual meeting Monday night and elected officers as follows: President, Wm. Exworthy; vice president, John Burch, re-elected; recording secretary, John Armstrong; financial secre tary, Herman Rudde, re-elected; treasurer, Robert Powell, re-elected; sergeant-at-arms, Ed Armstrong; trustees, Peter Swadberg, Gus Ainqulst.

Dun & Co.'s weekly review of trade says: In spile oi cue loterruyuoaa of tho holi days and of tne unusuujiy heavy annual seuienitnts in ail lines of business, the new year opens with indications ot lurmer prog ress. There is no lack of contracts onereu ut. steady prices in the country's Itudiug in dustry, and in some * departments of cot ton goods there is a better movement, thouga speculation has depressed the price of t^ie raw material. Otherwise a decline in wheat is the only noteworthy movement in staples. It is explained by a reduction in the Hour out put at Minneapolis, some mills shutting down, while the foreign demand at Atlaiuic seaboard cities is not brisk. The ordinary measures of business continue to make grati fying exhibits. Xo alternation has yet occurred* in quota tions of iron and steel products, and thU industry is on such a lirai foundation that most large concerns have maintained wages at the old scale, instead of making the re ductions anticipated. Iron ore prices are also unchanged, and no action is now ex pected until March, although a lower rate was looked for early iii January. Coke is firmly held at Connellsville, and there are fewer idle ovens, while the much-discussed fall in prices appears confined to inferior qualities at outside furnaces. Pig iron stils freely for delivery up to April, and. there ia no Indication of weakness. All finished prod ucts are . eagerly sought, many large con tracts having been placed for structural ma terial, and others are under consideration. An American company is the lowest bidder for the large bridge at Sydney harbor, Aus tralia. The purchase of seven hundred acres near Plttsburg by a leading steel company indicates great enlargement of its plant. Aside from one reduction of wages at blast furnaces, in the Mahoning and Shenago val leys, this week's news is most encourag ing In this the greatest ot American in dustries. The market for textiles has been feature less, as the holidays and stock taking re duced business to limited dimensions. Wool has again declined, making the average of 100 quotations 19.28 cents, according to Coates Brothers' circular. Sales at the three chief eastern markets amounted to only 3,121,000 pounds. Cotton goods have not the same difficulties to contend with, but an ab normally high price for railway material acts as a check upon this industry. Local jobbing and retail trade Is brisk In boots and shoes, and many manufactur ers are behind with orders, yet uneven dis tribution of business has left some shops ready to make concessions. Shipments from Boston for the week were 82,443 cases, against 91,665 a year ago. Sole leather is purchased freely, but less activity in upper tends to weaken prices. Exports of sole from this city were heavier in December than in any previous month last year, but the total for 1900 fell 306.996 sides below 1899.
