Duluth Scores a Point.

The Labor World repeats that
Duluth is destined, under proper
conditions, to become the iron
manufacturing center of the United
States. "A pointer in that di-
rection is the successful rolling, a
few days ago, at the Ironton Struct-
ural Steel company's works, of I
beams of 24-inch sections, uniform
throughout, with web three-eighths
inch thick and flanges seven and
one fourth inches wide, and weigh
ing but SO pounds per foot. This
might not mean much to us non
professionals, but it's significance
will be understood when it is
added that these beams are % per
cent lighler than any others of
equal strength now on the market.
Even the lay mind can understand
something of what that means
when it comes to constructing such
edifces as 40O-foot bridge spans
and fifteen and twenty story build
ings. There is a market in the

pound of iron and steel that could

hostile to our countrynien on the
island of Cuba. A very large num-
bert of American firemen are out of
employment, and not only common
justice but due regard for the
prosperity and welfare of the
country would demand that these
men be given the first chance at
this work. This brings us to the
second query:
What about the alien contract

falo says that he iis powerless
"When immigrants enter this
country after passing the inspect
ors at New York. I have no jurisdic-
tion over them"
This is a silly evasion. of respon-
sibility. The men are liable to de-
pprtation, and the company that
Dsought them in, to a heavy fine.
II Sfraudulently passed at New
York, moreover, someone is liable
for perjury or malfeasancc in
office. And the inspector at Buff
falo, having had his attention
called to the matter, is in duty
bound to report to the department
where action should be COM
menced. We have heard a great
deal about protection to American
Workmen, but what does it all
amount to in the face of such open
and fagrant violation of the alien
contract labor law? Here is a
chance for the administration to
show that the law is something
more than buncombe.

Duren asked Mr.. Fraser if he had
not told somebody when he began
there that he didn't know anything
about such work, and had never
seen such tools as they were using
on the Hugo contract. Mr.. Fraser
denied the insinuation, but in an
swer to a question said that hole

The council referred the matter
to the board of public works, whose

to be impenetrable to such little
stingers as are carried by botched

two sets of iplans-those of the ex-
pert committee, which Frederick

charging 81, $50 additional for ma

There was another long discus

the matter was referred back to the

ordered purchased, provided it

PRESIDENT BOYcE.
a Ringing Address at the Annual
Convention in Salt Lake.

"A ringing address. which has re-
echoed throughout the United
States, was made by Edward Boyce,
president of the western federation
Of miners, at the annual convention
now being held in Salt Lake, Utah.
We give belowa few extracts:
AS delegate to the American
Federation of Labor convention
held at Cincinnati, I have little
report to make. The convention
convened December IA and con-
tinued in session six days, During
sthisN time there was not thing. accom-
'Pnshed III the interest of labor. nor
do believe the American working
men can ever regain their rights
through trades unionism." Every
wage-earner knows if a corporation
orders reduction of wages or an
increase of hours among it's en-
ployes, all the trades unions in
America could not prevent it.
With this knowledge and the bitter
experience of the past, surely it is
time for workingmen to see that
trades unionism is a failure.
X X x
You are watched by capitalists
as the hyena watches his prey in
the jungles of the forest when he
awaits an opportunity to devour
his unsuspecting victim, but unlike
the ferOcious beast, corporate cap
ital is never satisfied. It's insati-
able 1naw is never filled. It stands
ever ready to devour humanity.
Never in the history of the repub-
lie has idleness, poverty and want
been so prevalent among the
toilers: never since the dawn of
creation in any part of the universe
has the producer sunk so swiftly
from affluence to poverty.
The American workingman is no
longer sovereign. He is a de-
pendent suppliant, on bended
created, but may not enjoy. Vast
combinations and Interpretations own
and control the natural resources
of the nation, while wealth is con-
centrating in the hands of the few
who decree whether men shall
work or starve-whether women
shall become wives or prostitutes,
and youth and innocence be reared
in ignorance and crime, while labor
stands idly by with uncovered head
docile and meek as lamb, humb1y
supp1icating before the golden
shrine of plutocracy for permission
to live!
I deem it important to direct
your attention to Article II of the
constitutional amendments of the
United States, "The right of the
people to keep and bear arms shall
not be infringed." This you should
comply with Immediately. Every
union should have rifle club. I
strongly advise you to devise ways
and means to provide every mem
Der with1the latest improved rifle
which can be obtained from the
factory at nominal price. I en-
treat you to take action on this i'm
portant question so that in two
years we may hear the inspiring
music of the martial tread Of
25,O0O armed men in the ranks of
labor. .,,.. s-,.za
would encourage our members
to discuss all public questions. If
there is any union in the organ
ization that can not do this intel1i-
gently without engendering ami
mostly among its members, I
would advise it to disband immed-
lately. It is time for workingmen
70 think and act for themselves
without the advice OF any political
boss. Nothing is more discourag-

amount transferred to the bank volun-
tarily as further security for Col
Scheffer'S Indebtedness. Col. Scheffer
was the vice president and secretary
Of the Local Investment company and
looked after its affairs
Did you use any of the money you
obtained as salary from the Hauser
Mailing company and other sources to
pay these charges on your securities?"
Il had salary Of $4,000 from the
Hauser Mailing company, $4,000 from
the bank and was in receipt of Sc, 900 a
year for three years for my services
in looking after the purchase Of the
claims against the st. Paul German
Fire Insurance company. 1 used all
Of this income for a period of three
years, in paying the charges on my
securities with the exception of the
modest sum expended in the support
of my family"
Here Col. Scheffer, who was gradual
ly becoming more nervous, betrayed
unmistakable signs of going to pieces
under the strain. In answer to a sub
sequent question concerning certain Of
his transactions, he answered:
Il made the transfer to give the
grand jury of Ramsey county some
thing to do"
"Now as to your life insurance poll
cies, how much did they aggregated"
Col. Scheffer's emotion was about TO
overcome him, that Judge Lewis an
nCunCed that the court would take a
five minute recess.
After the recess, Col Scheffer, who
had regained his composure, resumed
the stand and continued his testimony.
He said that he had turned over to the
bank directly life insurance policies ag-
gregating $36, 900. The premiums there
on; amounting to $3.50 per annum,
were paid by Col. Scheffer. All this
Gel. Scheffer- said, was done vOlun-
tarily by him. 1t was his own PROPOSE
ton.
Here Mr.. Nelson introduced a letter
from Col. Scheffer to Cashier Barnett
in which he assigned all his securities
to the bank as collateral for his in
debtedness to the bank. The box al
luded to in the letter contained the
$40, 600 new stock, some life insurance
policies and sundry bonds and mort
cages. This assignment was made
prior to the organization of the Local
Investment company. Afterwards Col.
Scheffer transferred everything to the
Local Investment company and subse-
uuently transferred the assets of the
German Fire Insurance company to
the Northwestern Security Investment
company.
At this point court adjourned until
$50 a. m. today.
When court opened in the forenoon,
Cashier Barnett was recalled to the
stand for cross examination by the de-
Tense Nothing important in addition
to the testimony of the witness given
the day before was elected by either
side.
Paul Hauser Jr., of the Hauser Malt
ing company, being called again by
the state, testified that the drafts
drawn by Col Scheffer against his
salary of So, 500 a year as president of
the Hauser Mailing company, had all
been paid as they matured.
The state then rested.
