■ LABOR'S
.—■■■■ FIELD
Recent conversations with prominent
ra in St. Paul labor circles prove
conclusively that, in their opinion, the
first tour months of 1898 presages a year
ef prosperity, an actual awakening from
■ prolonged lethargic slumber of indus
trial depression. Not until now, they
bay. have they witnessed any certain in
dlcation of a genuine business revival.
During the past three years there has
been much talk and great chattering
among optimistic magpies, but until the
advent of the present spring there was
really nothing tangible In sight to war
rant so much sounding of brass and
tinkling of cymbals.
It is useless to theorize upon the cause
of this Industrial activity. It is suffi
cifnt to know that it is a fact, and that
it is greatly to the advantage of the
laboring classes. In no one department
In St. Paul is it more noticeable than
with the carpenters. From $2 and $2.50
for skilled men wages have been ad
vanced, and that, two, without serious
objection by employers, to $3 and $3.50.
Rough work carpenters and helpers who,
less than two years ago. were glad to
secure work at $1 and $1.25 per day, are
now receiving the $2 and $2.50, formerly
earned by skilled carpenters. Common
labor that last year could command but
75 cents and $1 is now receiving In St.
Paul $1.60 and $1.75.
Other industrial branches report similar
conditions, particularly, paperhangers,
painters and decorators. It is true that
their annual harvest comes in the spring
time. hut. for several springs back, they
not received so good wages as at
nor has the demand for their
sco it. 9 been so great. Nearly all tha
a are in flourinshing condi
tion, wnli Satisfactory balances in their
treasures.
W'iih the bricklayers, however, the con
dition is not so roseate. There is not
the demand for ♦heir services that is
found in other industrial lines. There
Is no real estate boom just now, and
while many are improving properties, re
painting, repairing, repapering and de
corating, comparitively few are building
new edifices.
What is true of the local industrial
condition is true of nearly every promi
nent city In the Northern states. Recent
labor disturbances in Chicago,, of short
duration, have resulted in an advance of
5 cents an hour for the carpenters, which
brings the present scale up to 42^ cents.
And the strike that won this concession
lasted less than a week. Twenty-five and
a half dollars for a week of ten hours
a day. or $20.40 for a week of eight hours

B day, for carpenters, would have been
looked on by employers and contractors
as impossible wages less than a year
since.
Another prominent indication of better
times in the labor field is the readiness
of employers to grant wage concessions,
or, once in a strike, to end it quickly.
This has been the case in Chicago among
the carpenters, stonecutters, architectural .
iron workers an.d tin and sheet metal
unions, all of whom went on strike April
1, and all of which strikes were quickly
adjusted and many concessions granted.
Then the plumbers struck. Within three
days the master plumbers had adjusted,
their differences on satisfactory terms.
Without a strike the tin and sheet metal
workers effected a two years' schedule
at an advance, fixing wages at 28'^ cents
until June 1, 1599; 40 cents an hour from
June 1 until Feb. 1, 1900, Mid 42ft cents
from then until Jan 1, 1901. The stone
cutters' union of Chicago has also forced
machine stone planers out of the shops.
The significance of all this accentuates
the fact that better times enable con
tractors and employes to pay better
wages. So long as they do nor have to
haggle with capitalists they will not be
so prone to haggle with their workmen.
A man with a good profit on his contract
in sight can, and many will, pay his men
all that the market will afford. And be
cause employers and contractors are mak
ing better terms with builders they can
and are paying more »o labor.
Electric Workers Indome Peterson.
Electric Workers' Union No. 23 held an
enthusiastic meeting last evening at ha.l
No. 4, Assembly rooms. The members
are now working under the charter, and
will for some time in the future m;et
every Monday night. Each alternate
night, however, avIH be devoted to enter
tainment, electrical exhibitions and ad
dresses. Last eyenig President John B.
Swift, of the Minneapolis union, No. 24,
addressed the St. Paul organization.
A short time ago the local union sub
mitted to Gov. Lind three names of
members from whom to select one mem
ber of the state electrical board. The
governor, however, declined to make such
a selection, and requested the union to
recommend one instead of three. This
was done last evening, Mr. John Peterson
being named. His name will now go be
fore the Trandes and Labor council for
additional indorsement, and Mil then bo
presented to the governor. It is under
stood that there are other candidates for
the position presented by outside corpor
ations not affiliated with the electrical
workers' union. There were two appli
cations for membership which will be
acted upon next Monday evening. Tt is
the intention of this enterprising labor
organization to Institute a hide decree,
thus following in line with many of the
secret societies.
Union Picnic of Twin City Barbers.
St. Paul Barbers' Union No. 31 held its
semi-monthly meeting last evening in

ing, $22.10; disbursements, $47.77.
l.eiilhrr Worker*' Open Charter. .
Leather Workers' Union No. 19, a com
paratively new organization, decided last
evening to continue working under an
open charter for thirty days. The unitm
completed its' organization by the elec
tion of • Sam Kane, vice president, and
John Waggoner inside guard. The fol
lowing committee of five was appointed
to complete by laws: R. C. Perry, J. Bit
tel, W. Strike, J. L. Goiide and A. Peter
son.
There was an attendance of forty out of
a total membership of seventy-five, and
six applications for mebership were laid
over for -action next -Monday everting.
Receipts, $34.50; disbursements, $7.50. Con
dition of trade was declared to be excel
lent.
Furriers' Union Growing.
Two new mebers were initiated last
evening by the Northern Furrles' union.
The evening was devoted to general.dis^
cussion and the outlook for trade de
clared to be flattering.
A special meeting was called for next
Friday night and the executive committee
will meet Sunday for the purpose of mak
ing certain changes in the constitution.
LOCAL LABOR NOTES.
The press and council committee of the
trades assembly attempted to hold a
meeting last evening, but owing to the
lack of a quorum no business was trans
acted.
The building trades executive committee
held a routine business meeting last even
ing.
In point of membership the carpenters'
union now exceeds in mebership that of
the typographical union. A lively time is
expected this evening as the union is now
increasing Its membership rapidly and
there are many applications to be con
sidered.
The carpenters' union, coopers' and
plumbers' unions are scheduled for meet
ings this evening.

OPEN ARMS FOR THEM
LADIES' COMMITTEE TO RECEIVE
DELEGATES TO THE HOY 41,
NEIGHBORS' CONVENTION
WELCOMING THE VISITORS
Sotme Preliminary Work by the
' Grand Officers Was Done Yester
• —Contents for the Offices Are
- • Getting Warmer —Part of the
Delegates - Opposed to Any
Change, Others Want a New Deal.
The central committee of the Royal
Neighbors, which has charge of receiving
the various delegates to the supreme
camp, had Its hands full yesterday, for
each train brought its quota of new ar
rivals, eager to hunt up old frlenda who
had already arrived, and anxious to be
put In complete touch with all that has
already been done for the success of the
convention, which opens at the state
capitol this morning.
Though a large number of delegates ar
fived yesterday, the majority will come
in on this morning's trains, for the busi
ness of the convention does not begin un
til this afternoon, though elaborate open
ing exercises are slated for this morn
ing.
The various rooms on the parlor flour
of the Ryan yesterday witnessed gather
ings of friends, political friends at any
rate, who discussed various plans in mys
terious whispers, made rough casts of the
situation in regard to the numerous can
didates, and pledged themselves anew
for their particular favorite who aspires
to official honors. So far all attempts to
induce Mrs. Bamford, one of the St.
Paul candidates for supreme oracle, to
withdraw in favor of Mrs. Penny, her fel
low townswoman, have proved unavail
ing, and it Is generally conceded now
that all three candidates will be in at
the finish.
DIVIDED SENTIMENT.
Roughly estimated members of the
convention appear to be divided into two
parties, those who are in favor of re
taining the present ticket, and those who
want an entirely new regime. Many of
thejatter have no fault to find with the
present officers, but go on the principle
that new people should have a chance.
The party in favor of the new officers, of
course, will split on the candidates for
supreme oracle, and the knowing ones
say this almost assures Mrs. Watt's elec
tion.
Mrs. Penny, seen yesterday, said that
If it were apparent that Mrs. Bambort
really- was working to obtain the office
there would be no feeling, so far as she
was concerned, in the matter. "But," said
Mrs. Penny, "Mrs. Bamford openly boasts
that she has not the slightest objection
to Mrs. Watt having the office, but she
wants to keep it from her home rival."
Mrs. Penny asserted that even if she fail
ed to carry all her home camps, she still
stood a good chance of being elected.'
A camp of fifty members, or the major
portion thereof, is entitled to one vote,
double the number, two votes, and so on.
St.- Paul has five camps with votes as
follows: Royal Oak, 3; Starlight, 8; Har
mony, 1; Prosperity, 1; Maple Leaf, 1.
This gives St. Paul a total of eight votes
to cast in the coming contest.
RBCORDERSHIP CONTEST.
Next to the fight for supreme oracle
that for supreme recorder obtains most
attention. Mrs. Winnie Fielder, the pres
ent incumbent, is In the field with two
opponents; Mrs. Anna Lester, of Wash
ington, 111., and Mrs. Thompson, of Rock
ford, 111. Mrs. Lester Is Mrs. Fielder's
most formidable opponent. The former is
the widow of a Modern Woodman, and It.
is, a part of the- ethical Code of the latter
society that widows of members shall re
ceive special consideration. Mrs. Lester
is a bright, pretty brunette, and points
proudly to the fact that for several years
she has been a teacher in the public
schools of Illinois, so that no one can
question her education for the work.
When she first decided upon becoming a
candidate for supreme recorder,
she said yesterday, she wrote letters
to the supreme officers of the Royal
Neighbors, and also \o the members of
the beneficiary committee, which consists
of J. G. Johnson, Peabody, Kan.; J. W.
White, Rock Falls, 111.; C. W. Hawes,
Rock Island, 111., announcing her inten
tion, but few even deigned to notice her
communication. She admitted that the
fight she was engaged in was an up-hill
one, but she pluckily announced her In
tention of staying in It till the last.
The candidate who succeeds in obtain
ing the office of supreme recorder must
live during her term at Peoria, 111.
SUPREME PHYSICIAN.
Dr. Jane Reid Keifer seeks the office
of supreme physician. At present there
are two supreme physicians, Dr. Franc
Morrill, Rock Falls, 111., and Dr. Susan
Snyder. of Council Bluffs, 10. Dr. Morrill
Is physician for Illinois, Michigan, Wis
consin and North Dakota, while Dr. Sny
der represents the remaining territory.
Both seek re-election.
Dr. Keifer comes well equipped for the
fight, for she has testimonials from all
the leading physicians of her state in
regard to her fitness for the work. There
is some talk of increasing the number of
supreme physicians to five, as the work
Is becoming too onerous to be accom
plished by two. Such a change, however,
is expected to meet with opposition.
ANOTHER PROPOSED CHANGE.
An important amendment to the consti
tution, which members of the convention
will try to have passed will be In regard
to sending delegates to the national con
ventions. Just now it is the rule for each
local camp to send a delegate direct to
the national convention, there being no
district or state conventions. By the
proposed amendment local camps will
be grouped Into districts, after the cus
tom of the Modern Woodmen. Each
camp will send a delegate to a district
convention. The districts in turn will
send representatives to the state conven
tion, and the state convention to the na
tional. The present method of sending
delegates from local camps direct to the
national convention entails a heavy bur
den of expense on the camps, especially
those newly organized. The camp has
to pay all expenses, which amount to
about $6t« for each delegate.
The officers of the supreme camp have

pected: to view of all this hard work,
that the opening ceremonies will be very
elaborate.
READY FOR THE VISITORS.
Everything is now in readiness for the
entertainment of the visitors throughout
the week. A fund is in the hands of the
local commute*,, and will be expended
for the pleasure of the strangers within
our gates. Committees of five have been
appointed from ea«h of the local camps
to form one general committee on ar
rangements. Each camp has been as
sessed 175, and members of the Modern
Woodmen have contributed M ce"hts each.
The St. Paul Commercial club and busi
ness houses generally have generously
come forward with contributions. When
one considers that all entertainments and
expenditures are planned by wise and
capable St. Paul women it would seem
that there has been nothing left undone
to render the convention a success.
Yesterday the supreme officers sat for
their pictures a*.Newcomefs gallery, and
tor" a few minutes at least the conven
tional political gmile was dropped, to be
replaced by the more natural one of
gratified feminine .vanity.

MRS. PENNY'S STRENGTH.
Half of the Minnesota delegation has
declared Itself in favor of Mrs. L. E.
Penny, of St. Paul, for supreme oracle of
Royal Neighbors, and the other half Is
divided among a number of candidates.
The local camps of the society gave a
reception last evening on the parlor floor
of the Ryan hotel to the outside dele
gates and visitors. There was no set
programme, not even the usual reception
committee, but everything was delight
fully informal and a pleasant social time
was enjoyed for. a while. The parlors
were decorated with palms and cut flow
ers, and the purple and white of the or
der helped to carry out the decorative
scheme. For once, however, strange to
relate, a social function did not prove
entirely satisfactory to a number of the
Women. They felt, a great. majority of
them, that there was weightier business
on hand with the fate of their different
candidates hanging in the balance, and
being women, with fertile brains, it was
easy to turn an-informal reception into a
decidedly interesting political gathering.
It has been conceded all along that it is
the presence of the two candidates from
St. Paul that has made the fight for su
preme oracle Interesting. If either Mrs.
Penny or Mrs. C. Bamford was out of it
the candidate who was left to oppose
Mrs. Watt would have something of a
walkover. Last evening, therefore, the
Minnesota delegation gathered in one of
the smaller parlors and a weighty con
sultation ensued. The women present
were unanimous as to one thing, namely,
that one of the Minnesota candidates
shouW resign, but, alas! they were not
unanimous as- to which one that should
be. The majority, • however, appeared to
be in favor of Mrs. Penny continuing in
the contest. It w^ finally decided to
take a ballot. There were twenty-two
votes cast, of which Mrs. Penny received
11, Mrs. George Collins, 6; Mrs. Watt, 3;
Mrs. Bamford, ~2, and Mrs. Mary Daly, 1.
This, of course, gives Mrs. Penny a ma
jority in the Minnesota, delegation. The
two new women iit'-the race, : Mrs. George
Collins and Mrs. Mary Daly, are both
St. Paul women, and are very popular
In their local camps. Mrs. Collins de
clared last night, however, that phe
wished her name to be dropped.
It Is only fair to Mrs. Bamford to state
that*her friends do not consider^ the re
•siilt of last night's caucus as having any
Influence in ■■ the matter, for they declare
that several delegates refused to vote,
and a number were not present.
CAUCUSES CALLED.
After the caucus there was a discussion
among the delegates as to the turn of af
fairs. So much bitterness had grown out
of the contest among Mrs. Watt, Mrs.
Bamford and Mrs. Penny for supreme
oracle that It was felt that, perhaps, "U
■would be best for all three to stand aside
in favor of some fourth person. An effort
Is being made to get Mrs. G. C. Collins to
run for the office. Another caucus will
be held this evening.
A special meeting of Royal Oak camp,
Royal Neighbors, has been called for this
afternoon for tiie. purpose of acting upon
resolutions Indorsing Mrs. L. E. Penny
before the national convenstion for su
preme oracle. The meeting will take
place at Odd Fellows' hall, Fifth and
Wabasha streets, 3.at 5 o'clock. It Is call
ed by Mrs. Irene^Jones, oracle, and Mrs.
E. B. Lott, recorder, of Royal Oak camp.
ESTATE OF MRS; LBDWIG.
A Beneficiary by One Will Wants
the Supreme Court's Aid.
The matter of the disputed will of Mrs.
Kate Ludwig came up yesterday before
Judge Bazille In iprcbate court on a pe
tion of John Joseph Tobin, beneficiary
under one of the wills, asking that no ac
tion in regard to the estate be taken pend
ing an appeal to the supreme court. Attor
ney George appeared for the petitioner,
and after a long argument the case was
taken under advisement by the court.
Mrs. Ludwig, who was a widow living
on Minnesota street, died last summer,
leaving .an estate worth 52.500. Shortly
before her death she made a will be
queathing: almost all her property to John
Joseph Tobln, a boarder, to the practical
exclusion of her natural heirs. A sister
of Mrs. Ludwig contested the will on the
ground that it was not properly witnessed
and the document was refused probate
by the court. The probate judge nas sus
tained by the district court, and now
Tobin Is taking the necessary steps to
have his case taken to the supreme court.
Recently Henry Enderton, an attorney
of Winnipeg, notified Judge Bazille that
he was in possession of a will made by
Mrs. Ludwig in 18&7, and In which he is
named as-one of the executors. The court
has decided that the filing of the petition
has brought Enderton under the jurisdic
tion of the court end a citation was Issued
yesterday ordering him to file the will
In his possession within ten days. If the
supreme court throws out the Tobln will
the new will will be presented for pro
bate.
Father Objects to the Match.
Clerk of Courts Rogers yesterday re
ceived a letter irons B. M. O'Neil, of Parl
bault, asking that a license be refused to
one Charles F. 'Daniels and Mary M.
O'Neil, a minor daughter of the writer.
In his communication the irate parent
avers that he wiU never give his consent
to the wedding.

Maj; C. W. Hawes, head clerk of the
Modern Woodmen of America, and mem
ber of the beneficiary committee of the
Royal Neighbors, was among the arriv
als at the Ryan yesterday. Maj. Hawes
is, perhaps, the best known lodgeman in
the Middle states, and for several years
has successfully and satisfactorily han
dled the great volume of the Modern
Woodmen business which has passed
through the head office at Rock Island.
"Last year our gains in membership
distanced all records," said Maj. Hawes
to the Globe. "We now have 400,000
members, of the two classes in good
standing, and this year enjoy the dis
tinction of being the strongest beneficial
and fraternal organization in the coun
try. Our records show 876,000 members
of the order in good standing, and 25,000
who were ineligible for the beneficiary
feature by reason of age, and who be
long for the social feature only.
"During the year 1898, 50,000 new mem
bers were added to our rolls in the Cen
tral states, and our jurisdiction was in
creased in three states, giving us a some
what larger territory. During the month
of March, of this year, we received 16,000

MAJ. C. W. HAWES,
Head Clerk of the Modern Woodmen of
America and a Member of the Beneficiary
Committee of the Royal Neighbors, Aux
iliary of the M. W. A.
new members, and during April 14,000,
and we expect to enroll 12,000 new mem
bers this month. Some idea of the busi
ness of the order may be gained from the
statement that we paid to the relatives
of deceased members of the order during
1898,. $2,700,000, and this year the bene
ficiary payments will, I think, aggregate
fully $4,000,000.
"The order recently built a new head
quarters building .at Rock Island, 111.,
and it Is unquestionably the most com
pletely appointed lodge building In the
United States. We employ nlnety-slx
clerks the year around to handle our
business. Our new building cost $112,000.
The order Is the only one which con
ducts all Its business through a central
office.
"I think St. Paul is a sure winner for
the convention of 1901, although Grand
Rapids Is making a bid for the gathering.
The zeal of your local committee has
not been without results, and I think that
the Kansas City gathering will vote St.
Paul the next convention.
"From the present Indications the con
vention to be held in Kansas City, be
tween June 6 and 11, will be the greatest
gathering of its kind ever held In the
United States. When one stops to think
that at every cross road, every country
town through lowa and Illinois and
neighboring states is located a lodge of
the woodcraft it is not difficult to an
ticipate the size and quality of the gath
ering at Kansas City in June.
"I think the Royal Neighbors' conven
tion, which assembles in the morning,
will be one of the most successful in the
history of the auxiliary. Aside from the
election of officers and matters of a rou
tine nature, some interesting questions
will be discussed, and some rather Im
portant amendments to the constitution
will be made.
"They have a membership of about 50,000
which is divided between the fraternal
and beneficiary. Unlike the Woodmen,
the Royal Neighbors' have two what
might -be called separate and distinct
features, the beneficiary and the frater
nal. The social feature with the Royal
Neighbors, as well as with the Woodmen,
is very strong, and Is one ol the things
that have gone to make the order so sig
nally successful and prosperous."
ST. PAUL IN THE LEAD
In the Race for the Modern Wood
men Conventloin of 1001.
Although three other cities have enter
ed the race, St. Paul Is way in the lead
for securing the biennial convention of
the Modern Woodmen of America, accord
ing to the reports made at a meeting of
the central commitee composed of dele
gates from 'nine of the local lodges, held
last evening at Woodmen's hall. Arrange
ments for making St. Paul's invitation
an irresistible one are being pushed, and
every delegate elected so far to the head
camp, which meets on June v at Kansas
City, has been besieged with letters and
circulars setting forth the advantages of
St. Paul as a convention city.
"Elgin, 111., Grand Rapids, Mich., and
Columbus, 0., are the competitors that
the local delegation that goes to Ivansaa
City will have to fight, and if there is
anything in figures we have already
yon," said L. D. Bissell last evening. "Or
the 400 delegates to the convention wo
have already secured pledges ircm ninety,
and there are at least fifty otlters who
appear very favorably disposed towards
Bt. Paul. Elgin, of course, lias the back
ing of the Illinois delegation, and Grand
Rapids of Michigan. The Ohio town la
counting on the support of the Ohio and
Indiana delegates.''
J. McCormick presided at the meeting
and there was a very large attendance.
The transportation committee made a re
port and L. D. Russell'was tlected to
negotiate for a special train to take the
St. Paul delegation to the convention.
There will be at least 150 from St. Paul
fifty from Minneapolis and five members
of the Commercial club in the pacty, and
the Minneapolis Woodmen's band will
be taken along to show the strangers
what Twin City music is like.
John Sullivan, of Kansas City, who has
a widespread reputation for forceful ora
tory, will present the Invitation on the
part of St. Paul, and his spell binding
will be capably assisted by earnest work
on the part of the delegation, who will
establish Jxle£Ug;uarters and go to work
In a systematic manner.
