county committees have also
promised to use the typographical
union label on all printed matter.
We don't intend to say anything,
but we just did go in room all by
ourselves and throw up our hat
when we heard that boycott was
declared off. Of course the boys
have forgotten all about those cold
nights last winter, the arrests and
the Jail, the privations, etc and
have nothing but good words for
everybody but we want to say right
now that a better fight never
equalled the one the little band of
heroes fought SO nobly.
President H. p. Miller of the
Journeymen BARRIERS Internal onal
union, of St. Paul, has been in the
city investigating the trouble exist
ing between the local body and
Sullivan's shops. Mr.. Miller says
the BARRIERS have just grievance
and the union men should sustain
them in the stand they have taken.
Like experiences in other cities
have resulted in a reduction of
wages whenever a cut in prices has
been allowed. The evil must be
taken at the very beginni ing to avoid
disastrous results to their Organlza-
ton. The union men of Duluth
should see to it that none but 10
centiShops are patronized.

A False Statement.

In the labor column of Saturdays
Herald, August %, it was stated
that the Union band, composed of
members of Musicians union No.
6516, A. F. of L., were negotiating
for the Lyceum theatre playing for
the coming season in the face of the
boycott This is untrue, and the
informant has evidently purposely
misstated the facts with the intent
to iniure our organization in the
eyes of organized labor. Members
of our union will not, under any
consideration, play in the Lyceum
theatre while that house is boy
cotted by the Trades assembly.
While it is true that one of our
orchestra had bid for the contract,
one of the conditions of it's accept
ance was the lifting of the boycott.
AS Mr.. Marsh declined to do any
thing toward lifting the boycott, all
negotiations were ended, and none
are now pending.

"Go to the Lyceum."

The boycott on the Lyceu,n has
been declared off. The difficulty
that has been pending for nearly
year between Manager Marsh and
the theatrical employees was settled
satisfactorily on Monday last: AL
fred McCallum acted for the strikers.
"A. NJ. Miller, owner of the Lyceum
building, was present during the
conference.
This fight has been a long and
trying one. But the strikers we're
men Of determination and brains.
They at all times have acted the
part of gentlemen and with the al
most unanimous support of the
business men OF the city, the trouble
has resulted in a victory for the
employees, which means victory
for the management as we'll, for he
thereby obtains the work of union
men and reclaims the esteem and
respect of the citizens of Duluth. ::
The history of the strike and diff
culties attached are too fresh in the
minds of the people to need repeti-
ton. The Labor World gladly re-
ioices with the theatrical employees
in the happy elimination of their
heroic work. ~

BARRIERS Hold Good Meeting.

The BARRIERS Union held very inter-
esting meeting Tuesday eve., August
25th. Considerable time was taken up
in talking over the feasibility of turning
out Labor day and it was finally decided
to turn out in a body that day. Badges
have been ordered and for the first time
the BARRIERS Union will be in line with
labor unions in Duluth.
The boycott is still on all non-un1on
shops and all good union men should do
all they can to help the BARRIERS win.
The foreman in the Spalding shop says
when he Joins the union it will be cold
day. The BARRIERS Union is hoping for
the cold days to come soon so they can
grasp Mr.. Boud1y's hand in friendship
and welcome him to the fold.
The West Duluth BARRIERS are anxious
to be unionized and a committee of four
members was appointed to meet the
BARRIERS of West Duluth Thursday, Aug.
9th to try and get them in line for
Labor dav. G. 6. Tiroved, ]. P. John
son, G. H. Heath and j.; H. McCalougle
are on the committee.
F. S. Esse was chosen for marshal on
Labor day.
c. G. Tiroved offered a strong resolu-
ton condemning the Chinaman'
laundry and his cheap labor SYSTEM: In
his resolution he states that the China
men are un-American, unsafe as to the
healthfulness of the people, and unquah-
fled to mingle among American people.
It is needless to say the resolution was
adopted unanimously.
The meeting night was changed and
hereafter will meet the first and third
Tuesdays of each month instead OF the
second and fourth, as heretofore.
Three committees, consisting of three
members each. were appointed to visit
the different unions and explain the boy
colt that has been placed upon non-union
shops, and especially SO in regard to Mr..
Sullivan's case, as there, seems to be
some of the union men that are not as
helpful in the cause as they might be.
The meeting adjourned to meet Tues
day, Sept. list. A MEMBER.

How NApoIeOn RaIaed Money.

Napoleon had the lavish hand of a
paryenu, but his beneficiaries were not
grateful, and with ever increasing in
science were always craving more. The
system of private confiscations or forced
contri buttons from individuals had al
ready attained vast dimensions. During
the winter of 1S09-10 it was extended
and regulated; the sums wrung from
German princes and Spanish grandees,
from English merchants and the Italian
clergy, were not entirely exhausted the
remainder. together with what was "ac-
cepted" from timorous politicians, crafty
ecclesiastics, sly contractors and unprin-
cipled financiers, was now erected into
the dignity of the emperor's "extraor-
binary domain. The term army
chest" had been devised for times Of
higher public morality it was now dis
carded. Confscated palaces, forests,
lands, fisheries, moneys from the sale of
American ships-all were now the EN-
