O'Connor of Milwaukee former attorney-general of the state, delivered a lecture before the Knights of Columbus and their friends at St. Boniface's hall, on Tuesday night. The distinguished attorney was introduced by Henry E. Murphy,iu a few felicitous words. Mr. O’Connor addressed him self to the subject: “Some Duties of Catholics in America. He traced the rise of Catholicity in this country, the patriotism which had been exhibited in legislative halls and on the battlefield by Catholics, but did not fail to bring out the erring qualities of the Catholic who used his faith for political prefer ment. Indeed Mr. O’Connor was unsparing in his criticism, with unusual courage he attacked the churcii authorities, who, for a mess of pottage sold out their congregations to the highest political bidder. Mr. O’Connor's address throughout was a thoughtful inter pretation of the duties going with Catholic citizenship.

MAY GO TO WORK ON MAY FIRST Vessel Firemen Are Striking For Higher Wages THE DEMAND WIU NOT BE C,RANTED Marine Engineers Arc Opposed to The Fireman WHICH WILL CAUSE A SURE BREAK The Tie up Makes This The l atest Open ing on The Lakes For Some Years Past It will lie May 1 before any steam boat* leave this port, hence this will make the latest season in a number of year*. This is unusual In th* fact that the straits were open for lake traffic earlier this year than for the past twenty five years, but so far only one boat has passed through, which came from Buffalo ami unloaded its cargo at Milwankeee. The reason for the delay is caused by a strike of the tiremeu who are holding out for a raise of wages approximately an increase of 15 per cent, which would give them a daily earning capacity of including Sunday and their board and lodgings. From what can be learned the Lake Carriers' association will refuse to grant the demand of the men and in this position of the associa tion the marine engineers are in har mony. It i* only the attitude of the firemen which ties up the lake traffic. The season while it will Ih< shorter will be more profitable, because the boats will carry as much freight In the nine months as they would in the ten. and they will do it at a less cost in operation. The fact that the marine engineers are not snpjsirting the firemen will have a tendency to bring the firemen to time and wilV cause a bre: !r i” the stride before May I.
