f State Federation Then Shifts the
Troublesome Question to the
- Affiliated Unions.
\&
*, Special to The Journal.
Little Falls, Minn., June 9.The morn
ing session of the state Federation of
H*r Labor was enlivened by the introduction
J&' by the socialist faction of a set of resq-
|r lutlons urging that the federation go into
|. independent politics. Most of the morn-
! ing w as occupied by the friends and op-
"$ ponents of the measure and at times the
fr debate was decidedly warm,
f. The resolution committee divided upon
^ the question, with the result that ma
j , Jbrity and minority reports were sub-
| mltted. The matter wasflnally disposed
t' of by being referred to the affiliated un
t ions for action.
'In this disposition of the resolution
those opposed to the mixing of politics
, with labor claim a victory. An effort to
induce the federation to appoint a com
mittee to present the socialistic resolu
tions to the federated unions thruout the
state was defeated.
The credentials committee reported
against seating the delegates of the Team
Owners' union of Duluth. According to
action taken this morning the incoming
federation council will take up the Twin
City telephone matter.
Carpenters' Amendments Hit.
The report of organizations were of a
very encouraging nature, particularly
those of the building trades and the mill
employes.
' The entertainment given by the Gans
chorus last night in the Gross opera
house in honor of the federation dele
gates w as an enjoyable affair and was
largely attended. Mayor Vasaly presided
And addresses were made by W. B. Mc
Ewen, John Swift and other visiting dele
gates.
At the afternoon session to-day the
committee on constitutional reported
recommending that the amendments to
the federation constitution proposed by
Carpenters' Union, No. 7, of Minneapolis,
be not adopted.
Three Candidates for President.
Candidates for the various offices are
hustling and talk in the hotel corridors
and upon the streets is spirited. While
the opposition to President Neary is
formidable, it is conceded on all hands
that his re-election is practically certain
unless something arises between now and
election time to turn the tide in favor
of some other candidate. Mr. Bainbridge
is making a quiet campaign for chief ex
ecutive of the federation and has a strong
following, while C. E. James, president
of the St. Paul trades assembly, is being
backed by the St. Paul delegates. Up to
this time no one else is definitely in the
race.
Indications point to the re-election of
Secretary-Treasurer "W. E. McEwen by an
overwhelming majority, if opposition pre
sents itself at all and if one is to judge
he result of the election on Wednesday
afternoon from the burst of deafening ap
plause following the conclusion of the
secertary's address, it is altogether'likely
he will be selected unanimously. Mc
Ewen's report was well received and w as
in all respects a businesslike document.
' - Socialists Active.
The socialist delegates are doing active
work among the representatives and say
they will this year accomplish their ob
ject. "Independent political action" is
their slogan, and if their plank is adopted
it will commit the federation to* socialism
pure and simple. But the knowing ones
say there is no danger of such a thing.
Rev. M. O. Stockland. pastor of the
First M. E. church of Little Falls, is tak
ing an active interest in the proceedings
and is a regular attendant.
Twin City Phone Strikers.
A representative of the striking Twin
City telephone girls appeared before the
convention yesterday afternoon and gave
the strikers' version of the difficulty and
a special committee was appointed to
draft resolutions to be brought before the
council to-day. It is thought the federa-
, tion may decide to look into the alleged
treatment of employes by the Twin City
company.
A.resolution was introduced by dele
gates from the cigarmakers dealing with
trust methods, child labor and machines.
New Ulm and Stillwater are active can
didates for the next convention, and the
' delegates from both places are doing some
-*- strenuous work.
t. ^Political Amendments" Will Not Pass.
' The proposed amendments to the fed
eration constitution, generally referred to
* as the "political amendments," introduced
by the Minneapolis Carpenters' union, will
%, ! not pass at this session. This- much, is
- ' conceded by those having the amendments
in hand, and the delegates interested are
t now directing their efforts toward having
the proposed laws referred to the affiliated
h unions to pass upon.
*" The contest for the official paper of the
federation lies between the Union of Min
i _ neapolis and tho Labor Union Advocate
of St. Paul, with the friends of both con
fident.

H. H. RAMP'S COPPER MINE
It Is Thought Best in Washington
to Look Into It a Little
Way.
From Tho Journal Bureau. Koom 46* Post Build*
ingr, Washington,
Washington, June 9.Before he left
Washington yesterday Postmaster Gen
eral Payne said he would instruct Fourth
Assistant Postmaster eGneral Bristow if
make a thoro investigation of H. H.
Rand's connection with the Copper Min
ing company-of which August W. Machan
was president and chief promoter. Rand
is from Milwaukee and has been confiden
tial clerk to the postmaster general ever
since Mr. Payne entered the cabinet. .
Soon after the fact that'the investiga
tion was in progress was first .made public,
Mr. Rand was mentioned as "having assist
ed in the promotion of this company, and
it was stated that he had influenced the
subordinates in the department to sub
scribe to the stock. This w as denied at
the time, but the agitation, has again
sprung up wtih the publication of the
names of the officers of the company.
Because of the delicacy of the investi
gation of the confidential clerk of the
postmaster general, Fourth Assistant
Postmaster General Bristow has hereto
fore refrained from going into what might
be regarded as an inquiry into the post
master general himself, but Mr. Payne
said it was his wish that Bristow should
probe the matters which Implicate Rand
to the bottom. Moreover, Mr. Payne him
self will make a thoro examination of
Rand's relatis with Machan, Lorenz and
others.
Mr. Payne is not prepared to believe
that anything discreditable will result
from this investigation. H e hau the ut
most confidence in Rand, whom he has
known for years and whom he brought
here from Milwaukee with him, but it is
regarded as probable that the president
has suggested to Mr. Payne that a com
plete dissipation of the persSetent rumors
involving the name of his confidential
clerk might not only serve as an evidence
of absolute good faith with which the
current investigation must be conducted
but might further relieve Mr. Bristow
from any embarrassment resulting from
uncertainty as to how extensive is the
intimacy between Rand and the Matchan
crowd.
In addition tq Rand, who is vice presi
dent of the Matchan Mining company, J.
D. King, also of Wisconsin, chief of the
division of rural free delivery, and
Machens' right hand man, is its secretary.

NO CALL TO PRQTJST
Over the Russian OutragesThere
Is More Necessity of Jump- ,:
ing on Turkey.
!
New York Sun Special Service, ~
Chicago, June 9.William E. Curtis, in
a Washington special to the Record
Herald, says: The president has been in
conference with Secretary Hay trying to
contrive some method of expressing his
own feelings and the sentiments of the
American people concerning the Jewish
persecutions in Russia -without violating
the canons of international etiquette but
no effort has thus far been made to
frame a protest or remonstrance concern
ing the massacre of the Christian subjects
of the Turkish sultan in Macedonia by his
own officers and troops acting under his
orders, or at least with his approval.
The Macedonians have given no more
offense to the Turks than the Jews have
given to the Russians they worship the
same God, and when they are not pro
voked to resistance are quite as law abid
ing and orderly. There is no more rea
son why the Mohammedans should perse
cute and massacre Christians in one part
of Europe and outrage their wives and
daughters and destroy their property than
for the Christians in another part of
Europe to treat the Jews in a similar
manner. The Macedonians, however,'
nave no powerful organization in the
United States to arouse sympathy in
their behalf the small number of their
fellow country men who have managed
make their way td the United States are
neither rich, nor influential nor active in
politics. The president has received no
resolutions expressing the horror of the
American people oyer the persecutions of
the Macedonians, while he has received a
bushel or more letters of appeal and pro
test concerning the sufferings of the Jews.
There is reason to hope that the per
secutions of the Jews in Russia are over
but the telegrams to the newspapers from
Macedonia every morning contain the
news of more villages destroyed, more un
offending Christians massacred and more
women outraged. And *the fact that the
government censors control the telegraph
and the malls of Turkey with the greatest
strictness is an assurance that the re
ports are not exaggerated.
The president is going to make some
expression for the American people con
cerning the persecution of the Jews re
gardless of diplomatic usage and prece
dent. He cannot very well make a formal
protest or remonstrance to the Russian
government. It would be quite as much
out of place as if the czar should write
him a letter or send him a telegram pro
testing against the act of the mob at
Belleville, 111., last Saturday, which tor
tured, hanged and burned the negro David
Wyatt. W e cannot set a precedent for
foreign criticism of domestic affairs.
Furthermore, the president has received
assurances that Nicholas II. deplores as
much as any one the horrors that have
been committed by one sect of his sub
jects upon another and is doing as much
as he can to restore order, punish the
guilty and atone for the wrong. But the
sultan of Turkey is not taking any steps
to protect his Christian subjects
in Macedonia. On the contrary, his Bashi
Bazouks are riding from village to village,
their scimitars dripping with the blood
of the Innocent and he is urging them on
for the purpose of exterminating the
Christian population of one of his own
provinces. The president can talk about
that without offending anybody or vio
lating diplomatic etiquette.
Nicholas II. is a humane man. Every
act of his government for which he has
been - responsible since he ascended the
throne has' been itt the line of progress
and for the welfare of his subjects.
While he has not had the support of his
ministers in his humane and enlightened
policy and has been resisted with great
determination by the nobility and aris
tocracy of the empire, he has neverthe
less done the best he could to improve the
condition of his people and protect their
rights.
The sultan of Turkey has pursued an
entirely different policy. He is the only
sovereign in the universe to-day who en
courages the massacre and the persecu
tion of his own subjects who prefers
that they should starve in poverty rather
than be happy and grow rich, and so far
as I have heard no great Christian na
tion has uttered a remonstrance.
A METHODIST SORROW
The Sect Is Said to Be at a Stand
still To-day.
New Tork Sun Special Service.
Philadelphia, June 9."Methodism is at
a standstill the whole world over, and in
many places Is losing ground rapidly,"
declared Rev. Dr. L. W. Munhall at a
meeting of the Methodist Preachers' asso
ciation in Wesley hall, and this condition
he ascribed to the fact that ministers were
straying away from the Bible and that
skepticism, formality and worldliness had
crept into the old religion. Dr. Munhall's
address w as on "The Church's Needs,"
and after introducing statistics to prove
his gloomy assertions, he outlined meth
ods by which the old prosperity of the
church might be revived. "During the
last five years the -whole Methodist Epis
copal .'church has gained ' only 150,916
members," he said, "and of them about
33,000 were converts in the foreign mis
sion fields. This left a total of about
117,000 additional members in this coun
try. With 27,920 church in America our
gain w as less than one member per year
during the five years. The cities are our
strategic points and it is in the large
cities that pur losses have been great."

state. There might be a consolidation in
North Dakota, which was prohibited in
Minnesota. The federal regulation was
paramount, and, therefore, exclusive. This
he fortified by citing and explaining sev
eral decisions. interstate Commerce Question.
"It seems to me," said Mr. Bunn, "that
this case must be decided one way or the
other on this proposition: Does the state
have authority to regulate Interstate com
merce? It seems plain that, as this power
has been given to congress, and has been
exercised by it, the state cannot assume
such regulation. Therefore, the statutes
of Minnesota bearing on this question are
null and void. If this, court feels it neces
sary to follow the decision in the, federal
case, rendered at St/3Louis, then the case
must be thrown out, unless the state
makes out a case under the federal law."
Mr. Bunn read extensively from the de
cisions in the Louisville & Nashville case
to support his contention.' " He then
yielded the floor to M. D. Grover, gen
eral counsel for the Great Northern. Mr.
Grover said that according to the com
plainants the record in this case was
practically the same as in the suit
brought by the United States. The relief
sought was the same. H e inert read from
the findings of., fact in the federal case.
He : challenged, the statement that the
stock was transferred by an agreement
of the stockholders.
The No} therrt Securities company, said
Mr. Grover, did an act in regulation of
interstate commerce when it purchased
the stock of the two roads. This act was
subject to .he regulation of congress, and
not of the ten states thru which Ihe roads
run. even the it nroghi be incidentally a
regulation of commercti within these
states. Yet in i this case the act was
charged with being a violation of state
law, which makes f t a felony, altho there
can be no felony in the absence of crim
inal intent The state should: have brought
the matter before the court in a criminal
case, and urged a jury to convict the
stockholders of a felony
"We admit," said Mr. Grover, "that the
Northern Securities ^company owns a ma
jority of the stock bf the' two roads and
that they are parallel and competing. This
has been declared by the learned judges
to be a crime, intent being assumed from
the results of the act. It has rendered
a decree ordering the return of that stock.
Shall this court hand, down another and
a conflicting decree? Then another decree
can be made in behalf of North Dakota,
and each other state. Should the supreme
court decide that the circuit judges erred
in not following the Louisville & Nash
ville case, then this case, would come be
fore1
: to
your honor' as an original question.
But while that decision stands, it cannot
properly come: before you on this com
plaint." \ Question of Competition.
Mr. Grover then took up the question
of competition. He showed thru .Mri
Hill's testimony that competitive-inter-:
state traffic of the two roads did not ex-:
ceed 3 per cent, Or $500,000 a year. The
foreign or oriental traffic was all com-
petltlve.
"While the flies have been buzzing,''
Mr. Grover declaimed "and while the
$25,000 appropriation! has ben depleted-by
bringing Jim LeacL down, from North
Dakota to testify, the cotton of the south
has been going thru this state, three times
as much in the nw^ regime as before.
Grain rates have been reduced and mer

THREE BLOWS AT THE LAW
Judge Young Attacks the Anti-Trust Law,
of 1899. .
Judge Young attacked the state anti
trust Jaw of 1899 in his argument yester
day afternoon. He declared that this act
did not apply to railroad companies that
it could not apply to acts performed out
side the state by the defendant compa
nies, and that it was unconstitutional be
cause seeking to regulate interstate com
merce.
Altho a re-enactment of the Sherman
law, which has been held to apply to rail
road companies, Judge Young said the
federal and the state jurisdiction were dif
ferent, and the construction of the Sher
man law did not rule as applied to the
state lavfc The law did not, in its text,
bear out the broad application of its title.
Judge Lochren, by questions, showed that
he was not inclined to take this view, but
counsel reiterated- his arguments. He also
urged that there waa\previou3 legislation
on the railroad question, which was not
in harmony with the law of. 1899, as the
jalter lawmade its violation a felony. The
federal courts had applied the Sherman
laW to railroads'because they did not ap
ply it to anything else, and: because there
was no other federal legislation on the
subject. y -...
If the organization of the Northern Se
curities company, outside the state of
Minnesota, came under the anti-trust law.
then, said Judge Young, it was a crimi
nal offense. It would be an absurdity for
the state to charge a felony against a cit
izen of another state for an act committed
in another state. - The law was also at
tempting to regulate interstate commerce.
Further, the law prohibited restraint of
commerce, and decisions of the court had
declared this must mean direct restraint.
General Wilson called attention to the
recent decision of the circuit court in the
federal case as overturning this rule. Judge
Young replied that co.urisel, felt very hope
ful of overturning this, decision. Not a
decision from- this circuit court on such
a question had ever been sustained by the
supreme court.

WHAT TO DO
There is comfort in the knowledge so
often expressed that Dr. Kilmer's Swamp
Root, the great kidney and bladder rem
edy, fulfils every wish in curing rheuma
tism, pain in the back, kidneys, liver,
bladder and every part of the urinary pas
sage. It corrects inability to hold water
and scalding pain in passing it, or bad ef
fects following use of liquor, wine or beer,

reau's weekly summary of crop conditions
is as follows:
Excessive rains in the lower Missouri, central
Mississippi and Ohio valleys, Tenenssee, the

cially in the central Mississippi and lower Mis

The protracted and probably unprecedented
spring drought continues in northern New. Eng

date.
Portions of the upper lake region, central and
west gulf states, North Dakota and Montana are
in need of rain.
Highly favorable temperature conditions pre
vailed in the Rocky mountain states, but on Pa
cific coast the week was very hot and dry, es
pecially in California and Oregon, while the
early part of the week In the central and west
gulf states was too cool.
Much corn remains to be planted in the Mis
souri, Mississippi and Ohio valleys, where the
early planted is greatly in need of cultivation
and much has been drowned. Planting was re
sumed in Nebraska and Iowa during the latter
iar of the week where under the most favorable
rondition*.planting in the iWle A/Untlc state*
has been finished.

progressing rapidly in Texas and has begun in
California, where , early wheat promises ' good
yields. In Washington and Oregon winter wheat
has made favorable advancement, but short heads
are reported from Oregon and poor stands from
portions of Washington.
Spring' wheat continues in a very promising
condition in the Dakotas,and generally in Minne
sota. On tfcp north Fiaoire- coast spring whea,
while needing ra'n, is doing well In portions or
Washington. .- -:, .^m.^ *

Of Great Help in .Otter Tail (County
Where Soil Was Dry/' ,
Specials to The Journal.
Fergus Falls, Minn., June 9.Otter Tail
county Was visited by a fine rain Monday
morning and crop prospects have improved
wonderfully. The rainfall during May was
only 2.47 inches, or less than half as
much as fell in the cities, and this is the
first moisture that has fallen during June.
More rain is needed, but enough has come
to freshen up everything. .
Armour, S. D., June 9.Farmers who
have lived here since the country was
first settled say that crops never looked
better in this section at this time of the
year. With the proper amount of moisture

the largest crop of all kinds of grain ever
known in its history. ' ,J-
A NEW SHIPBUrLDrNO PLANT 6
Chicago, June 9.At least one project, In
tended to be in opposition to the American 'Ship
building company, is reasonably sure of early
consummation. The new concern, the Great
Lakes Engineering company, will be located on
the river front in Detroit, below the river Rouge.
Carrying out of the plan for erecting these large
shipbuilding yards was planned some time-ago,
but has been retarded by exasperating delays in
delivery of material.

Texas. The crop has-also sustained damage by
insects in Indian Territory and by floods in
Missouri and Tennessee. Cotton continues very
late. ' The week as a whole has been very favor
able for transplanting tobacco, which is nearly
completed over about three-fourths of the to
bacco area, having made\ favorable progress in
all f districts. - Good-stands are generally indi
cated and the plants are starting nicely.
The general outlook for apples in New Eng
land . and the middle Atlantic states except In
Pennsylvania is promising, and favorable reports
are also received from Tennessee, Iowa and
Wisconsin. The excessive falling has impaired
the outlook in Ohio. Indiana and Missouri and a
short crop is indicated in Arkansas and Ne-
brasifH.
The previously reported promising condition
of grass in the central valleys continues and
a decided improvement is indicated in the south
ern, portion of the middle Atlantic states, but in
the northern portion of the last named district
and in New England the hay crop will be very
short.
