LABOR OUT F01DENEEN State Federation Head Backed by Board, Calls Unions to Aid of Governor CITES LAWS FOR WORKERS Gives List of Measures Passed in Term of Executive, Wlio is Called Friend Organized labor throughout Illinois is urged to support Governor Deneen at the primaries and the polls as part of the policy of the American Federation of Labor in a circular letter sent out by E.

R. Wright, president of the Illinois State Federation of Labor. The letter, which has the indorsement the executive board of the state organization, is being sent to every local union and central body in the stata. the communication President Wright mentions the laws sought by labor which have been placed on the statute hooks during the administration of Governor Deneeu, who, he says, has proved a consistent friend of the workers and is entitled to their support. TELLS OF NEW LAWS, The letter is in part as follows: 'You are doubtless aware that I am personally friendly to Governor De neen, but you may not be as well posted as to the cause of my friendship, and it is for this purpose I ate now writing you "For the last two sessions of the legislature I have spent most of my time at the state capital working for labor legislation, and have often visited the governor in an effort to advance our measures.

Our statute books show results as follows: 1. The shot firer's law. 2. Miner's qualification law. 3.

Raising the death limitation from $5,000 to $10,000 in certain cases. 4. The "place -of refuge" law, protecting coal miners from accident. 5. A dozen minor measures for our coal miner friends.

G. Raising the exemption to $15 in the garnishment law. 7. The safety appliance law foi railroad employes. 8.

The full crow law for railroad men. fl. Commission for investigating industrial accidents. 10. Commission for investigating occupational diseases.

II Building trades safety law. 12. Reporting-of accident law Enforcement of child labor Unv. 14. Perfecting the factory inspection department.

15 Drafting the hazardous and dangerous machinery measure. 1(i. Securing the passage of and enforcing laws protecting the public health in food-producing establishments. 17. Co-operation in attempt to secure modification of "fellow servant" law.

Besides a number of less promi nent but none the less important measures providing for the safety, health and comfort of the workers of the state. QUOTES PROMISE MADE. "As a cominittepinun representing organized labor and in strict accord with the political policy of die American Federation of Lalior I assured ninmhers of the legislature and state executive officers that such assistance as they granted us would not only be appreciated b.it "As I stater! at our special convention June 21, the presence of Mr. Mitchell in the race for gubernatorial honors would necessarily absolve me from my promise to support Governor Deneeu, but now that Mr. Mitchell is no longer a contestant I wish to place myself squarely right before you, my fellow officers in the state organization, and to aslc you to join me in keeping faith in this respect As stated heretofore, this in exact compliance with the American Federation of Labor policy practice.

This does not rellect in any way upon any other candidate and is simply a record of accomplishment, and I know it: you do not care to make any recommendation you will a', least join me in giving credit for work actually accomplished. "This is not in any sense a partisan political document and does not touch on any party or platform as such, other ttian a recognition by oiganized labor of a man who has proven a consistent friend. Action on the communication will be taken by all the central labor bodies before Aug. 8, when it is the intention of the unions to have a full holiday so that union men can put in the day getting out a large vote in the interests of the candidates they indorse The Marion Post claims that the union miners of Franklin county are stirred up over the appointment of a "scab" on the new county mine examining board. The appointee hails from Zeigler, it is claimed.

The five hundred union miners from Benton and vicinity came to Williamson county yesterday to undergo the necessary examination instead of appearing before the bom-cl in Franklin county. They took the Benton band along and the affair was turned into a union labor jollification; THE The Ceiitralia Sentinel states that at the city council meeting there "Alderman Prill added more oil to the Hames by stating that all the' saloon men in the city had been summoned to appear in court on July 20 to answer to the charge of doing 1 business without a license The charge being bused on the fact that the cense money being paid makes the license illegal. Mr. Prill stated that in. this the saloon men were in nc way to blame, that they were complying strictly to.

the requirements the city ordinance, that they formerly paid a full year in advance, but that the council changed and asked for it quarterly. If any thing is illegal it is the city ordinance and he considered it an imposition, to place the saloon men in this position of being dragged into court for the city's fault if there is anything illegal. He suggested that it was up to the city to defend its ordinances and offered a motion instructing City Attorney Murphey and Corporation Counsel Bundy to appear in court when these cases are called and defend. This brought a hot protest from Alderman Pate, who stated that as these wore civil suits brought against the individual saloon men, the city had nothing to do with it, and for the city's lawyers to jump in and act as the attorneys for the saloon men did not look right to him. When the roll was callnd on Prill's motion, there were nine votes for one against, and tlie city attorneys will defend, not the saloon men, but the ordinance which is being attacked in the suits brought.

The city lawyers are of the opinion that the ordinance is good and fully complies with the state law which reads that all saloon licenses must be paid in advance at the rate of not less than per annum. The words "at the rate of" is the point on which the controversy hangs, By paying foui times a year, and each time in ads'ance is at the rate of $500 per year. A HOT TIME AT ZEIGLER It seems that the celebration at Zeigler fourth was not as peaceable as was at first reported. Definite reports are just beginning to reach the outside It seems that Moses Johnson, a Christopher jniuer, went to Zeigler ou the fourth in search of booze and trouble and he found plenty of each. Johnson tells of some exciting times at Letter's town Saturday and Sunday, as the celebration lasted two days.

He snys that tights were numerous and that one negro was shot to death in a brawl. A white man was stabbed nearly to death and is in a serious condition, according to Johnson. He says that one negro was shot through the neck while dancing, but did not seem to be hurt much, as he kept right on dancing, only stopping tu wipe thn blood oft'. Among other things Leiter provided for the celebration were two cur loads of beer, which were given awny free of charge Call. MARRIEDjfBENTON A very pretty wedding was solemnized at the home of Mr.

and Mrs. Geo. T. I-Iuhliaril, in this city, Sunday afternoon, when their granddaughter, Miss Blanch Hubbard Youngblood, and Mr. Erwin A.

Kransj of Herrin were joined in matrimony. The wedding was a quiet affair, there beint? only a few of the relatives and intiunite friends of the contracting parties witnessing the ceremony, which WHS performed by Rev. J. La more. The bride is the eldest daughter of Mr.

and Mrs. R. A. Youngblood, and is one of Ben ton's most beautiful and talented young ladies, while the groom is one of the most prominent young husines- men of Standard.
