Monday last on a complaint sworn
out by Albert Reid, a member of the

appears that Mr.. Hallock has been

the Armour Packing company.
The Longshoremen's Strike.
For the past week or more
Superior has had a strike on her
hands between the flour handlers
and longshoremen who arein the
employ of William Welsh. Mr..
Welsh has the contract of hand
ling the flour for the Great Nor
thern railroad at West Superior,
the Omaha at 1tasca and the
various Touring mills through
out the city. The men have been
getting 20 cents per hour in the
eastern flour sheds and rs cents
per hour in the mills, and madea
demand for 80 cents and 35 cents
per hour, an increase of ten cents
per hour over the present rates.
This, Welsh refused to grant,
claiming that his contract with
different corporations would not
allow of an advance, and
proceeded to secure protection
from the police department: The
strikers claim to have sufficient
grievance to warrant the walk
out and are confident of success.
A committee of the union waited
upon Mr.. Welsh and requested a
raise of 5 cents, and were in
formed that their request could
not possibly be granted. On the
other hand the union claim that
Welsh is making from 70 to 80
cents an hour for loading the
boats while the men who actually
do the work receive only 20 and
% cents and could well afford to
increase their pay as demanded.
A number of conferences have
been held between the men and
Welsh, but as yet no settlement
of the difficulty has been effected,
although the men claim to have
control of the situation, and say
it will only be a short time be-
fore Welsh will come to their
terms. Negotiations looking to
a settlement have been pending
every day and on Friday, July
10, all of the demands OF the
men were acceded to, Mr.. Welsh
stating that he would grant
them the increase from $1.7O

cepting the Anchor had re-employ-
ed all their old men. AS the as

mills who would not employ their
old men, on the unfair list, the mat
ter was referred to the Packers and
Nailers union for final action on the
Anchor Mill company.

Angus Mcqueen in relation to the
difficulty between him and the
Plasterers' union reported that Nc
Queen is hiring non-union men at
Is cents per hour for ten hours,
when the union scale is 3713 cents
and eight hours per day. The
Plasterers' union having placed
McQueen's shop on the unfair list,
it was agreed by the assembly to
endorse that action; also that
committee be appointed to wait on
Mayor Pattison and request him to
remove the alderman from the COM
mittee on labor and statistics
owing to his action toward union
men.
The committee appointed to visit

ported that Rev. Tomelson preach

on those unfriendly to organized
labor, so that when they look for
favors, whether political or other
wise, from organized labor, that the
members can look up their record.
The assembly endorsed the strike
Of the Longshoremen's unions and
appointed a committee to draft
suitable resolutions.
The secretary Of the assembly
was instructed to request the Am
erican Federation of Labor to place
