HOME INDUSTRY.

There is one fact that the
people-especially the bust
ness men of Duluth-should
not overlook. The agitation
for the use of union-made
cigars in this city, conducted
particularly by the cigar max
ers' union and the label league,
is an agitation for the use of
Duluth-made products and the
building up of home industry.
This work has been productive
of good results. Within a lit
tie over a year the number of
men employed at this industry
in this city has increased from
300 to 400 per cent. But the
improvement that has been is
but a drop in the bucket to
what might be. There are
cigars enough consumed in
Duluth and it's tributary towns
to give employment to $50.
craftsmen; less than one-fourth
that number now find employ
ment here. This is not alone
a question of unionism, al
though that it is so in part
should be enough to enlist the,
sympathy of every decent and
fair-minded man; it is more
than that, however. It is ques-
ton of building up Duluth. Pat
ronize home industry and you
will be giving employment to
men whose wages when spent
will tend to create a better mar
ket for your own goods or your

CHARACTERISTIC.

The readers of the Labor
World will remember a small
sized rumpus raised last
spring over the peculiar doc
trines being taught to the high
school class in political econ
omy. At the time the school
management sought refuge be-
hind the skirts of one of the
lady teachers, despite the fact
that the text book was of its
own choosing and the teacher
had been required to "follow
the book against her own con
victions and expressed desires
Caught in the act of should
ering their own shortcomings
onto a woman, the board evi-
IDENTIFY resolved on revenge, but
lacking the sand to boldly face
the music and dismiss her from
the service, she was tactily re-
engaged for the present year
along with all the rest of the
teachers that they intended to
continue in their employ.
These chivalrous knights,
however, who preside over the
education of Duluth youth, evi-
IDENTIFY thought the people were
:short-memoried. y Hiss Bailey,
along with the others. was no
titled at the usual time to be
ready for her duties at the COM
mencement of the present
school year. When she came,
however, the board informed
her that her notification was
all a mistake, and by the pay
ment of a months salary-$75,

money-it extricated itself from
an embarrassing dilemma and
rat the same time got rid of an
irritant to a guilty conscience
The people of Duluth might
easily have forgiven the board
for its =bungling attempts tc
teach pernicious doctrine, but
for it's unjust treatment of
faithful enploye, God forbid.

speaker made strong and log

initiative and, referendum, he
said, is a sovereign remedy for
the existing evils in the man

remedy, too, to which no con-

objection. He asserted that

only for the we'll being of the

Of the nation. There is corrup-
ton in high places, both IN
state and nation. Many
schemes of reform are proposed
but the advocates of such
methods are agreed on one
thing only, that there should
be reform. Patriotism lam
guishes in country where the
people have no voice in law
making. The people are gov
erned instead of governing as
they have been fondly imagin-
ing. There must be established
a reform of government under
which the will of the people
may be made known.
George G. Findley also ia
vored the proposed reform.
Popular government had been
success heretofore but only
up to a certain point. 1t has
never been successful for any
length of time on an extensive
scale or over a great coun-
try. Even in small communi-
ties freedom soon languishes
and corruption and despotism
takes it's place. The initiative
and referendum were meas
ures absolutely necessary to
adapt popular government to
the changed conditions of our
enlarged national life. They
enabled the principles of the
town meeting and popular as
sembly to be extended to our
millions of square miles of ter
ritory and enlarged population.
&c. Marshall did not think
the proposed reform would do
much good. The trouble lay.
in tie low moral tone existing
among the people themselves.
Corruption above was the con-
sequence of corruption below.
Men were elected to our legis-
lative assemblies who are dis
honest and incompetent. Part
of the trouble was in the mea-
gre salaries paid legislation.
No honest or capable man
could afford to neglect his bus
mess for the meagre wages
paid to our law makers. f.. /.
Mr.. Cobb did not anticipate
that any one reform would
remedy all our troubles, but
the initiative and referendum
would go a long ways in that
direction. Findley, in answer
to charge that corruption began
with the people said that the
referendum would prove a
powerful educator of the COM
mon people. If the people can
not be depended upon where
will you 60? He believed with
Lincoln that the common peo-
pie were to be trusted. The
only trouble was to get them
to consider public questions
apart from the bigotry and pre-
JUDGE excited by a partisan
campaign.
Mr.. Baker, Ex-alder1nan Har-
wood, w. c. White, Mr.. Twom-
ey, Samuel Nixon and several
others took leading parts in the
discussion.
Mr.. Savard closed with a
brief address in which he an
swered some of the objections
raised.
The next open meeting will
be held November 10, when
the postal telegraph will be
discussed with Don A. Palmer
as leader. The public is cor
daily invited to these discus
sions and the committee would
be pleased to see a larger
sprinkling of union men in
attendance.

AN EXAMPLE OF LIBERAL DUES.
The cigarmakers' union has
by long experience been dem
onstrated to be one of the
strongest and most progress
sive unions in America. It has
less difficulty in keeping up it's
membership during hard times
than any other union. Why?
The rest of us may well ask.
There are several reasons, but
here is one:
During the last two years
the cigarmakers' international
union has paid out in sick
benefits nearly a million dol
lars. For the last year the fig
ures are as follows:
Out OF work benefits ,377 25
Sick benefits 1861. O6
Death claims. 66,7259e
Strike benefits 44,O39 Ot
Loaned to travelling members. Al, 657. 16
Total $43l 81
In spite of all this they have
over a quarter of million dol
lars in their treasury as re-
serve fund.
If any union wants to know
the secret of strong organiza-
tons he can stud y it in the
history of the cigarmakers'
union and he will find it in
two phrases high dues and
business management, The
members of this union are not
! afraid to dig down in their
pockets tor the maintenance OF
a strong organization, and their
experience shows that this
1iberality is returned to them a
hundredfold in benefits in time
of need and higher wages
when employed.

death. Theodore Durrant. young
medical student. who was superintend-

arrested while ON a trip To Mount Dia-

no concern and calmly awaited the ar
