Federal Union.

A labor mass meeting was
held at the city hall, West Su-
perior, April Is, and a Federal
union organized. There were
fully 400 in attendance and
great enthusiasm prevailed
throughout the entire evening.
Organizer J. w. Nichols, who
is one of the best labor speak
ers in the Northwest, was pres
eat and as usual gave the
audience something to think
about. J. H. Baker, one of
Duluth's labor veterans, and an
old soldier, talked to the
younger generation in man.

J. H. Backman spoke on the
good of organization. Ellis B.
Harris, one of the A. r. y.
heroes, said words of enC0ur-
agement. There were several
other good speakers. The
meeting was one of the most
enthusiastic held in Superior
and it will undoubtedly result
in much good. Al. Schaieble
acted as chairman.

THE LYCEUM BOYCOTT.

1t is now six months since a
boycott was placed on the
LYceum theatre. A more deter
mined fight, on the part of the
strikers, has never been equalled.
During the cold winter
weather, whenever there was a
play, the boys would always be
found at their posts of duty,
handing out their boycott
dodgers to the public.

Mere Chattel Slaves.

The Appeal to Reason, one
of the best labor papers printed,
says: "Of all the damnable
acts of governments that I ever
read, surely that of the govern
ment exacting promise from
the new steel trust not to in
crease the price of armor for
murder ships, and letting the
public get squeezed or cozened
to the full extent of the trusts
ability is surely the worst.
The trust is a public enemy, it's
existence a violation of national
law, and yet the government
goes into partnership to aid it
to rob the people who compose
the nation! Think of a govern
1nent conniving, breaking it's
own law, to enable a few rob-
bers to skin the public-and
holding the army ready to kill
the people if they protest.
Great God! give us a car or an
emperor-either would be a
credit to the damnable, corrupt
robbers roost at Washington
city. But then Americans are
merely chattel slaves, who are
trained to obey their masters
and vote the party tickets.

crease price on armor plate

deny. They could have given up
the fight and gone back to work
at the old scale long ago if they
had preferred degradation to
manhood and principle. But not
so, they have suffered privation,
hunger, calumny and false inn
prisonment rather than prove
false to each other and unionism.
The men are asking nothing
unreasonable - living wages
barely that. They ask So a day
instead of $3.50.
The sympathy of the public has
been with the boys to a great
extent, but for the fact that the
Lyceum is our only playhouse,
the fight is that much harder to
win. There is no doubt but what
if the Temple had not burned
last fall the strikers would have
been victorious long ago, or the
management closed up the house
for lack Of business.
The people who think it is
annoying to have boycott
dodgers stuck in their hands
every time they attend the
theatre, would find it still more
announcement to drudge for $3.50
per day, and not steady work at
that, for a mere existence.
AS to the ladies being annoyed,
and intruded upon by the boy
cotters, the complaint so often
heard, why shouldn't they be
asked to stay away. Ladies are
more often frequenters of a
theatre than men, and should
not be excluded from being asked
not to patronize a house where
the management will not pay a
reasonable wage to the workers
who toll so they may enjoy the
pleasures of the theatre.
1t is a shame but it is a fact,
that a large number of the men
stay away while the women still
continue to patronize the house.
Women who should be the first
to respond to the call for right
and Justice; who should first re-
spond to a call for sympathy and
help.
These men have sisters, wives,
or mothers dependent upon them
and they are denied the right OF
existence, denied the necessities
Of life because you women see fit
to patronize the Lyceum theatre.
