GARNISHEE LAW BEFORE UNIONS

fVesident of State Federation Asks Them to Consider Measure. FIGHT IN LEGISLATURE. ANOTHER ATTEMPT WILL BE MADE TO PASS SUCH LAW AND IT 18 FOR LABOR UNIONS TO DECIDE THEIR ACTION. Indianapolis, Ind., Aug. 15. Preparations are being completed for the twenty-fourth annual convention of the Indiana State Federation of Labor, which will be held in Vincennes beginning September 29. The members of the organization in the convention city are completing plans for the suitable entertainment of the visitor!. But there are other things than pleasure that are expected to occupy the time of the delegates, and among these is the matter of politics. It is expected that the federation will reaffirm the stand taken at the last convention indorsing the political program of the American Federation of Labor. Various matters of legislation also are expected to. come up, including the matter of child labor and prison labor, the matter of garnishee law, factory inspector, mining laws, etc. ftelative to a garnishee law, a circular letter has been sent out to the local labor unions in Indiana by Edgar A. PerkIns, president of the State Federation asking that the local unions express their opinions in regard to such a law. Seek Opinion on Garnishee Law. The circular letter says that "at each session of the Indiana legislature since 1894 there has been Introduced a bill seeking to change the exemption laws of the state, or as more popularly known, a bill providing for a garnishee law. The legislative committee of the Indiana State Federation of Iabor has always opposed this legislation. To this time those favoring a garnishee law have been unsuccessful. There will be another effort made at the next session of the legislature to pass a bill of this kind. The proposed bill will provide that 10 per cent of one's wages may be attached weekly (or monthly, as the case may be,) until the judgment obtained may be satisfied. It will differ in some respects from those bills that have been introduced in the past, but in the essence and in the end sought to be attained, the bill will be practically the same. The merchants of the state are perfecting an organization to se cure the passage of this bill. Now, In order that we may be In position to speak authoritatively on th! subject at the coming session of the legislature, we ask you to pass on this question of a garnishee law, take some action; favorable or unfavorable and report to us at headquarters what tils action is. Do this, whether or not you are affiliated with the state organization. Our object is t ofind exactly the sentiment oX organized labor on this question. Mr. Perkins is now serving his thirteenth term as president of the State Federation, but it is understood that there will be some opposition to his re-election and the re-election of the secretary-treasurer, Clarence Gaumer, of this city. The other officers of the federation are as follows: First vicepresident, O. P. Smith, Logansport; second vice-president, Harry B. Hoag, Terre Haute; third vice-president. Amer J. Keppel, Indianapolis; fourth vice-president, John F. Tobin, Muncie; fifth vice-president, Roy P. Packard, Wabash. The election of officers will be held during the second day's session of the convention. ' LEAD THE WAY Show South Africans That Corn Is Fit to Eat. Pretoria, Aug. 15. Amenc&nmvomen have been doing missionary work for corn at an agricultural show here. The South Africans have always re garded corn meal unfit for food, but the various' tempting articles prepared from It at this exposition have shown them their error. It Is expected that by the removal of this preju dice much will be done to relieve distress among the thousands of unemployed who are living principally on gruel.
