principles and walk out when
ordered to do 50.
I wish to ask any fair minded
union man or friend of organ
lied labor, how they can have
any doubts as to the justice of
the action taken by our local
union against these shops?
Do they think that any &C.
ton is too severe on men who
refused to stand by the union
when ordered out, and who vio-
lated one of the most sacred
principles of unionism, which
virtually makes them ten times
worse than men who never be-
longed to labor organization
and broke no obligation when
refusing to unionize their
shops?
The BARRIERS union of Duluth
is in it's infancy. It is COM
posed of men who have the
best interests of their craft at
heart and have banded them
selves together to check the
evils which threaten to lower
the standing of the trade.
They look to older labor organ
izations in your city for assist
ance and support in order that
they may build up a strong
0rUanizatiOn.
Considering the justice of
their present fight for the
maintenance of living prices
and wages, considering also
that they are struggling nobly
to maintain their organization,
I cannot help asking those un-
ion men who have doubted the
Justice of their action, and some
who even patronize these
shops, do you think it right, do
you think it manly, considering
your obligations as union men,
to persist III violating union
principles, to even go as far as
to agitate against an organlza-
ton which is entitled to your
support and assistance?
The trades and labor assem-
bly has endorsed the action OF
the BARRIERS and / know that
the vast majority of the union
men of Duluth are men OF
union principles and will do all
in their power to help us to win
this fight. It is the fight OF the
assembly as we'll as of the Bar
bers union, and a victory tor
the union will be a victory as
well for the assemble.

The BARRIERS All Right.

The BARRIERS All Right.
ST.. PAUL, MINI, Aug. 81, 1896.
To the union men and friends
of organized labor of Duluth:
AS the result of my investi-
cations in the controversy ex-
listing between Local BARRIERS
union No. 81 and the shops of
Mr.. Sullivan, I wish to make
the following statement:
I find the union was justified
in placing a boycott on the
shops named, their local BY
laws prescribing certain condi
tons which are legal under the
constitution of the J. B. I. q.
of A.
To those who have heretofore
claimed that the local BARRIERS
union had no right to place a
boycott on some particular
shops, leaving the others unmo-
Tested, I wish to say that all
non-union shops of Duluth are
boycotted and not deserving
the patronage of union men
and their friends. The shops
above named are especially un-
fair for the following reasons:
They are located within the
limit in which no shop card
can be granted to a 10 cent
shop by the local union, and in
order to maintain prices in the
heart of the city where most of
the business is done, the local
union was compelled to issue
the boycott.
Furthermore, Mr.. Sullivan
agreed to live up to the rules
of the union when receiving
his shop cards, but breaking
the same without any notice to
the union, the shop cards were
removed.
Again, when the said shop
cards were removed the mem
bers of the union employed
there were ordered out, but re-
fused to obey the call of the
union.
think the above reasons are
sufficient for any one to see
that the union was justified in
making the fight against these
shops as they have done.
While all other nOn-uniOn
shops of Duluth are as unfair as
the shops of Mr.. Sullivan, they
never broke any agreement
with the union, nor do they

a NOVEL CONFIDENCE GAME,
Mrs. Everett Arrested for Selling
Sawdust and Wind.

San Francisco, Sept. 22.-With the ar
rest of Mrs. Martha Everett, alias Catch
ing, for having obtained money by false
pretenses, a novelty in the way of con
fidence games was brought to light yes
terday. A few days ago John DAILY saw
an advertisement in local paper to the
effect that half interest in a delicat-
essen store on Fourth street was for
sale cheap. Being DESTROYS of embark
ing in business DAILY went to look at the
place and found Mrs. Everett surrounded
with every evidence of a prosperous
little business. Along the walls hung
rows Of nice fat sausages and hams and
smoked fish, while the shelves held
dozens of cans of corned beef. There
were kegs of ostensible tripe and pigs
feet, dried beef, cheese and tins of
picked goods and Mrs. Everett showed
him large consignment of eggs in
cases and barrels of butter. DAILY i'm
mediately closed the deal and soon
afterwards took charge of the store, as
his partner wanted to go to the country
for few days. The first morning DAILY
opened up he made a discovery. He
shifted the egg cases and found that
only the top layers bore fruit. The rest
of the pssteboard pigeOnholes were hol-
low mockeries. Sawdust took the place
of flesh and bone in the ham covers and
the rolls of butter were empty cans
rolled in damp cheese cloth. The 400
bottles wrapped in pink tissue paper
supposed to contain beer and wine
proved to be nothing but water.
But the cruelest sham of all was the
sausages. The sleek, brown skins were
filled with wind, and each one was bal
lasted with bullet to prevent the sau-
sage from floating up against the cell
ing, like toy balloon. twas the same
way with everything. The cans were
all empty and the picked tripe was
delusion and a snare. DAILY has retired
from business and will sell the counter
and shelves at discount

Meeting of the Men of Money
at St. Louis.
Declare Now is the Time to settle the
Question a. to what shall COnsti-
tute a Dollar, the Unit Of our Finan-
eial system.

ever before came together in this city
at one time It was the first session Of
the twenty-second annual convention of
the American Bankers association. Del
egates we're present from all parts Of the
country, representing at least a billion
dollars. The convention will be in ses-
sion three days.
President E. H. Pullen of New York
called the convention to order and de-
Iivered his annual address.
Mr.. Pullen said in part: 1.-THE Amer
lean Bankers ASSOCIATION, during its
twenty-five years, has stood for indi-
vidual honesty, official honesty, national
honesty; has always stood for an honest
dollar worth 100 cents and accepted as
such in all the markets of the world.
We should occupy the same position to-
dav, and far from desiring to modify
our past record, we should confirm and
reiterate It without phases. Dishonest
money. because it is dishonest, attracts
the lawless and revolutionary element,
the socialists, pOpulist and anarchist.
The issue today is not exclusively hon
est money, but the very existence of the
government and the preservation of law,
life and liberty are at stake. Banks, es-
pecially national banks, have been as
sailed by The vituperations of ignorance
and passion. Through the national
bank system a market was opened for
United States bonds, yielding the money
necessary for the prosecution of the war
for the preservation of the Union, and a
currency was provided that has never
been excelled for safety, universal
acceptance at par and immediate re-
demption.
"Ninety per cent of the business
men Of this country is transacted by
checks and other negotiable instru-
ments. Eliminate the bankin g facilities
of national banks and their circulation,
substitute dishonest money as the vehi-
cite of trade, and chaos would immedi-
atelv result. Cotton and cereals could
not be produced, if produced, could not
be marketed. transportation would be
paralyzed. the wheels of industry would
cease TO revolve, enterprise and devel-
opment be checked. and the land be
plunged into rain and misery. Many
sincerely believe It is true thar the free
and unlimited coinage Of silver at the
ratio Of 70 to 1 and the pay meut Of ex
isting obligations, public and personal
in that metal would be for the highest
good of the country. We respect their
sincerity in honestly Advocating dishon-
esty, but regret their Naturalization on
the subject and are sorry to see them in
such disrePutable company"
The report of the executive council
states that, in its opinion, the existing
commercial depression is Immediately
due to the attacks which threaten to
overthrow the present gold standard of
value. and adds in part:
owe further believe that our full
measure of national prosperity will not
be gained until the whole world under
stands that the dollar of the United
States Is 100 cents worth Of gold and

THE ARMY WORM.

As we stated last week. the dreaded army worm has appeared in various parts of this town. It prefers grasses and grains, but will also eat corn when it can find nothing else. The leaves of potato plants and trees are not touched by it.
 The worms are a larvae of Q moth, and after certain period go into the crysallis state in the ground, whence they appear the next year as moths and lay the eggs for another crop of worms. Consequently measures should be adopted to exterminate them in the worm stage. We are informed that this can be affected by copious application of paris green. Good results have also been obtained by spreading straw over the ground and setting it on fire. An other method is to dig . trench IS inches deep or plough furrow of the same depth with the perpendicular side toward the direction whence the worms are advancing. The worms the fall into the trench or furrow and can then be killed. When thus thoroughly exserm- mated one year, there is, of course, no resppearance of the pest on the succeed ing year.

Indigestion is often taken for con- sumption. The word consumption means wasting away. and dyspeptics of- ten waste away as badly as consump- tives.
 The reason people waste away is be- cause either they don't get enough to eat. or they don't digest what they do eat.
 Ii the latter is your trouble. take Shaker Digestive Cordial. This will help you to digest your food and stop the loss of flesh.
 Shaker Digestive Cordial is made from herbs, barks and the juices of fruit, by the we'll known Shakers at Mt. Lebanon. It possesses great tonic and digestive powers.
 Shaker Digestive Cordial has cared many supposed consumptives(who were really dyspeptics), by simply helping their stomachs to digest their foods, thus giving them nourishment and new strength.
