STATE LABOR
FORCES MEET HERE
Important Gathering of the Year
Entertained In Convention 3
During the Week
TALK OF NEW LAW FOR WORKMAN
Fifty Delegates From Fourteen Cities in
the Stale Assemble for Annual Meet
ing of State Federation of Labor
Manitowoc this week entertained the
most important gathering of labor onion
organizations to be held during the year,
the annual convention of the State
Federation of Labor having opened in
the city Tuesday and continued in ses
sion until today. Forty-eight delegates
from fourteen cities in the state were
seated in the meeting which was presi
ded over by Frank J. Weber, state orga
nizer of the Federation, and many im
portant measures affecting labor were
considered. Fred Brockhausen, of Mil
waukee, is secretary and treasurer of
the Federation and John Stij>eck, also
of Milwaukee, was assistant secretary i f
the convention.
Most important of the documents pre
sented to the meeting was the annual
report of State Organizer Frank J.
Weber and the address accompanying,
delivered at the session Tuesday. Mr.
Weber reviewed the labor field in Wis
consin and the progress which has been
made during the year in the organiza
tion of the workers. In part his ad
dress was as follows; “If it is to the
interest of capital to combine its inter
ests against destructive competion,’’ he
said, "why should it not be of greater
moment to the wage earners to combine
themselves to protect there economical
and political interests against the com
bination of capitalists who seek to ab
sord all that labor produces.
“The latest government statistics
show that there are 1.700,000 tiny wage
slaves under the age of 14 years work
ing in the factories, workshops, mills,
mines, department and one-horse stores.
While anew child labor law has been
enacted in the state of Wisconsin, which
is a long stride forward in the pxotection
of innocent childhood, it is not as strin
gent as it should be. The time has ar
rived when the trade unions of our
state and country should demand the
abolition of labor.
“No class of people can understand and
sympathize with the needs of working
women like those who stand side by
side with them in the factories, stores
and workshops and who know by actual
experience what their home life must
be. The time has come, under our com
petitive system, in the development of
woman when she must take advantage
of the opportunities offered by organiza
tion. The most necessary needs of the
woman is shorter hours of labor, better
sanitary surroundings and more oppor
tunities for education, and all this can
easily be obtained by and through or
ganization. One of the aims and ob
jects of the trades union is to grant the
women of our country the same econo
mic and political rights as the men
possess.

“Without going into any lengthy dis
cussion on this subject, which is now
being vigorously discussed by employ
ers of labor, it is only necessary to say
that there is not a single labor organiza
tion that could keep out of the hands of
a court for one year of its existence if it
ever consented to the capitalist’s
scheme to become incorporated. Suits
for real or imaginary grievances would
be brought against the men."
Mr. Weber assailed the use of injunc
tions in labor disputes and characterized
S'.ne of the decisions of the courts as
tyrannical and a disgrace to modern
civilization. The remedy, he suggested,
was the ballot. As to the strikes he
said:
“Trades onions neither court nor fa
vor strikes The strike is labor's last
recourse, used when all attempts at con
ciliation and arbitration hare proved
fntile. Its use is a serious matter; so
serious, in fact, that the experienced la
bor organization will go out of its way
to prevent unnecessary industrial dis
putes.
“The twenty-four inch rule is an in
strument made use of by mechanics to
measure their work. The moral use of
the twenty four inch rule is to divide
the time into three equal parts, where
by he finds eight hours for his vocation,
eight hours for rest and recuperation
and eight hours for mental development
and social intercourse. Economic think
ers agree that the eight hour day is not
a panacea for our difficulties or even a
solution of the question of the hours of
employment, bnt 90 per cent of wage
earners agree that it is a step in the
THE MANITOWOC PILOT.
right direction to alleviate some of the
wrongs and injustices that exist under
our present social system, and if its
adoption depended upon their votes it
would become a law at the next general
election. The shorter workday depends
upon organization and education of the
masses and the availability of discipline
In the trade union. Custom can do the
balance and it is the business of organ
ized labor to make the custom.”
Following the address Mr. Weber ten
dered to the convention his resignation
of the position as State Organizer which
he has held for a period of ten years,
giving as a reason personal interests
that demand his attention and time.
The Committee on reconsideration of
the report recommended that an effort
bo made to have him reconsider his de
termination. The State Federation was
organized ten years ago and has had a
substantial growth during the past year.
Discussion of proposed laws to bene
fit and improve the conditions of the la
bori ag classes in Wisconsin was one of
the important features of the meeting.
The Federation will introduce two bills
before the next legislature and plans a
campaign of education in the state to
create favor for the proposed laws. One
measure prohibits the employment of
children under fourteen years of age in
any musical organization, local or trav
eling, in the state. The second is a bill
to make it compulsory on manufactur
ers and employers to pay labor employ
ed once a week. This measure is evi
dently directed against the railroads.
The convention directed officers to pre
pare circulars for distribution through
out the state.
The sessions of the convention were
largely devoted to routine work that is
of paramonnt interest to organized la
bor. Some little stir was created by a
resolution which provided that the Wis
consin delegate to the national A. F. F.
L. next year present a resolution endors
ing International Socialism and its aims.
The objection was raised that this was
an endorsement of a political creed and
a fight was made on adoption. The vote
was 63i aye to 10J nay.
Social features of the conveutiou were
numerous, the local organizations di
recting every effort to providing pleas
ing entertainment for the visitors.
Mayor W. Q. Kemper made an address
of welcome at the convention session
Tuesday and P. A. Peterson welcomed
the delegates for the Central Labor
Council. Tuesday evening a trolley
party was offered and later a dance at
Fleischer’s hall proved enjoyable. Wed
nesday afternoon the delegates visited
many of the manufacturing plants of
the city and in the evening a mass meet
ing was conducted at Two Rivers, ad
dresses being made by a number of the
delegates. This (Thursday) morning
the convention adjourned toTwo Rivers
where an exhibition drill was given by
the Life Saving Crew. The closing ses
sion convened at noon.
The convention closes today, the most
important business session being sched
uled for this afternoon. Officers will be
elected, chief interest centering in the
choice of a successor to Organizer Web
er. An effort will be made to induce
Mr. Weber to remain in the position,
but in the event of his refusal Fred
Brockhansen, of Milwaukee, will prob
ably be honored.
The Federation, will, during the com
ing year, extend the scope of its work
and conduct a more strenuous campaign
for the organization of the laboring
classes of Wisconsin. This policy was
outlined in the adoption of resolutions
granting larger powers to the executive
board and is in line with suggestions
made by Organizer Weber who has the
confidence of the members of the Feder
ation, perhaps as no other man.
Manitowoc is pleased to have enter
tained the convention and reaped a
large benefit from vue meeting. In the
history of the Federation, no more im
portant meeting has been held.
Marinette, Milwaukee and Superior
will bid for the 1904 convention.
Credit For Capture Wrongly (liven
Sheboygan papers recite the woes
of a Random Lake constable who claims
to have captured the five Reedsville
burglars for whose arrest a year ago
Ex-Sheriff Pierre Burt took the credit.
The Sheboygan county man addresses
an open letter to the press in which he
charges that he rounded up the priso
ners unaided, Burt and his depnty re
maining in the hotel enjoying lunch and
cigars while he performed the work.
He also charges that the Manitowos of
ficials called npon him to advance
money for expenses. The Connty
Board here reduced his claim from
$48.00 to |27.15 and he protests against
the treatment. The press of Sheboygan
grows sarcastic at the expense of Ex
Sheriff Burt and the connty and if the
chargee stated are true, there is excuse
for it. Three of the five men captured
are now serving time at Wanpun.
COST MAY EXCEED THE GIFT
Estimates On Carnegie Library Building
Higher Than Was Expected
Bids submitted by contractors for the
work on the new Carnegie library
building are too high, the probable cost
of the structure for w-Ach plana have
been secured being in excess of the gift
and work may be delayed unless the
city provides an additional fund.
Twenty-three bids were submitted to
the Library Board at the meeting held
Friday, the lowest being $22,824 and
this does not include the entire work.
F. M. Garthwait, of Chicago, entered
the low bid and it is estimated that to
complete the building the cost with
this bid would be at least $25,500.
Other bids ranged from $23,272 to
$28,984.50. Additional estimates were
furnished on the heating and lighting
of the building, which will cost in the
neighborhood of $2OOO to $2500. No
action was taken by the Board although
several plans were discussed to briug
the cost of the structure within the
limits of the gift, the one most general
ly favored being to not complete the
second story of the building until later.
Another suggestion was that a subscrip
tion be circulated to raise the needed
sum to complete the building according
to the plans secured. Local contractors
were among the lowest bidders on the
work.
New bids have been advertised for by
the Board and will bo opened July 21.
It is believed that the building can be
completed at the original estimate and
unless the new bids are within the limit
it is probable that one of the two sug
gestions mentioned above will be adopt
ed.
RUNAWAY WAS ALMOST FATAL
Miss Laura Daeke Seriously Injured By
Fall From Carriage
In a runaway accident Monday even
ing Miss Laura Daeke, daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. G. Daeke, Washington street,
was so seriously injured as to cause con
siderable anxiety as to her welfare. The
accident happened at the Thirteenth
street crossing of the C. & N. W. rail
way while Miss Daeke was driving with
a friend. Both were thrown from the
carriage, Miss Daeke striking on her
head on the walk and being rendered
unconscious by the fall. At her home
it is said that she will recover although
the injuries are of a serious character.
The other occupant of the carriage was
uninjured.
Valuable City Property In Land Deal
An interesting land deal involving
property in this city has been announced
the Hinckley & Allen estate property
consisting of nine blocks on the lake
front between Park street and Cleve
land Avenue on Fifth, has been pur
chased by the Allen heirs. R. H. Allen,
of Massachusetts, is in charge of
the property and was here this week
to arrange for the contract for the
building of a sea wall pier to join with
that being constructed by the city at
the Little Maniiowoc. The Hinckley &
Allen property has been in the hands of
a large number of the heirs of the two
original owners and the many persons
interested made it a hard matter to ad
minister affairs. This prompted the
sale by the Hinckley heirs of their in
terests to the Allen people.
New Record For Canning Pease
Work in the fields and factories of the
Pea Canning Companies is progressing
satisfactorily and the season gives pro
mise of being the moat successful in
years. At Grimms yesterday, the
Landreth Company established anew
record. 1053 boxes of canned jiease hav
ing been turned out for the market.
This is in excess of any previous day’s
work in the Company's history.
Katzcr May Not Live
Archbishop Katzer, bead of the Mil
waukeo diocese of the Catholic church,
who has been ill at Fond da Lac, in re
ported in a critical condition, there
having been a change for the worse
that alarms friends and lessens the
chances of the prelate's recovery.
Mathias Janeseck, a former well
known resident of this city, now of Chi
cago, is here for a visit with his wife.
Mr. Janeseck was a prominent business
man here from 1855 to 1885.
Stephen Menchall the well known
merchant at Menchalsville, has plans
for enlarging the business and will re
model his store building to a modern
and up to-date structure.

MANITOWOC, WIS. JULY 16,1903.
NOT AFFECT LOCAL ROUTES
New Ruling of Postal Department on Ru
ral Free Delivery Service.
Rural mail delivery routes in Mani
towoc connty will not be interfered with
by the new order issued by the Depart
ment which requires that no route shall
be maintained where the service is not
furnished to at least 100 families. In
several neighboring counties this will
mean the abandonment of some of the
routes already in operation and will be
a bar to the establishment of new
routes. Of the seven routes in Manito
woc county, no one has a patron list of
less than 125 families and of the pro
posed new routes to complete the county
system which has been promised for
July, there are few that will not bo es
tablished because of not meeting the re
quirements for the patron list.
No definite information as to the pro
posed establishment of a County sys
tem here is obtainable. The Depart
ment gave favorable consideration to
the petition last Fall, but since the re
cent developments in the department
and the discovery of gigantic frauds,
nothing has been given out. It was an
nounced as the original intention to es
tablish the system in July of the pres
ent year, but in-as-mnch as no survey
has been made at this time, the time
may be extended. Conditions in the
department and the large deficit may
result in a curtailment of the rural free
delivery service and possibly veto any
extension of the service during the next
year or two. In this event, reasonable
to expect, the county service here will
nut be established.

REPORTED DEAD MAN IS ALIVE
Fight At Potters Not Fatal As Rumors At
First Stated Last Week
Wild rumors of a murder at Potters
resulting from a fight last week have
been greatly exaggerated in the press
reports to Milwaukee and Chicago
papers. M. O’Rourke was reported
dead from injuries of an assault made

POPE STILL CLINGS TO LIFE
Aged Ruler Of Catholic Church Is Failing
Rapidly At Rome
Pope Leo, whose death has been daily
expected for a week past, still clings to
life and late dispatches from Rome re
port but lit tie change in his condition in
the past few days. All hope for the re
covery of the aged pontiff has been
given up by the physicians in attendance
on the patient and his demise is but a
matter o? short time. The wonderful
vitality of the Pope is the marvel of the
medical world. Pope Leo is 94 years of
age-
Arrangements have been made for
the announcement of the death of the
Pojie when it shall occur and local cath
olics will be informed of the sad event
by the tolling of the hells. Memorial
services will be held daily after the
death of Pojie Leo until the election of
his successor, in accordance with the
custom of the church.
There is much speculation as to the
probable successor of Pope Leo. Romo
dispatches convey the impression that
Cardinal Gibbons, of America, may lie
elected or will control the selection. It
is considered probable that Italy will
secure the succession, Cardinals Gotti
and Ranqiollo being the most promi
nently mentioned candidates.

ROLLS SHOW LOSS
OF HALF MILLION
New Mortgage Tax Law and In
creased Class of Exemption
Reduce Assessment
NEXT YEAR TAX RATE TO BE HIGHER
No Official Figures Obtainable but Esti
mates Place Sum Taken From Rolls
at SS.OOO.OQO—Board of Review
Complaints made to the City Board
of Review ami Equalization of Assess
ment which is now convened for a ten
day session are not numerous and it is
improbable that many changes will be
made in the assessment as reported by
the assessors. The rolls this year will
show a loss of nearly $500,000 from the
assessment of a year ago. This is the
result of the o{>eration of the new mort
gage taxation law and the increased
number of exemptions in the classes of
property. It is inqtossihle at this time
to secure a complete report on the as
sessment, the officials not having finish
ed the work, bnt estimates given of the
redaction in the assessment will bear
out the statement above. In view of
the reduced assessment it is reasonable
to expect that next year the rate of tax
ation will of necessity have to be in
creased to secure the amount of the
taxes needed.
The operation of the new mortgage
taxation law removes a large amount of
property from the personal property tax
list, the sum, according to the state
ment of Assessor Harvey Hubbard, be
ing equal within narrow margin, to the
total of the mortgage assessment of last
year, nearly $400,000. The exemption
laws now exempt pianos and other mu
sical instruments, watches to the value
of $5O. mechanic’s tools, and other prop
erty formerly assessed on the rolls, the
total of which will figure up a large
sum. In consequence the rolls show a
much smaller total and should the tax
next year be as heavy as for the present
the rate will l>e increased. At this time
the tax rate In the city is an average of
$.024.
