Tommy Savard, who has been such
an interchangeable worker in the interest
OF the walters union is now a member
of the laundry workers. union. He is
employed by the Globe laundry.
The Label League has committee
out agitating the use Of the union label
of the printing trades. The business

lie when purchasing goods to call TO,
the working card of the clerk showing

The S. L. ?. organized a section in
West Superior last Sunday evening.
National Organizer Keinard, of New
York, was present and delivered a splen-
did address. Edward Kriz was also
present and made good talk. The Soc
ton starts out with a good membership.
The visit of National Organizer Klein
ard, Of the S. L. p, to Duluth will un-
doubtedly help the socialist cause in
this city. The two meetings held were
very we'll attended and close attention
given the speaker. Edward Kriz, candi-
date for congress, also spoke. Mr., Kriz
has the full confidence of organized
labor in Duluth, and he made a good
impression upon his hearers. We will
not be surprised if Mr.. Kriz rolls up a
handsome vote for the cause of socialism
in this district.
The cigarmakers' union, No. 294, is
considering the ACCESSIBILITY of sending
a label sgitator through the lumber
camps during the coming season. This
certainly would be move in the right
direction. The men who work in the
lumber camps know little Of the great
benefits derived from the use of the
union label and if their attention is
called to this matter and it is placed be-
fore them in the right light, as No. 294
will do, there is little doubt but what
the sturdy woodsman will give tcab
labor the go-by. The company store
will be compelled to keep the blue label
N sight or be unable to sell it's goods
The annual convention of the A. f.
of Labor will be held at Kansas City in
December. Already the delegates to
the Trades Assembly are considering
the advisability of sending representa-
tive. The many friends of William E.
McEwen, president of the Assembly. are
anxious to see him go as delegate from
Duluth, and if the boys decide to b
represented there Mr.. McEwen no doubt
will be the choice. He will represent
organized labor of Duluth in credit
able maj ner. This section of the coun-
try has never been recognized by the
national body in any way and it is essen
tial that some one is sent who will pre-
sent our wants if it be necessary. Why
not have the next convention held in Du-
luth? Better try for it, anyway, and
McEwen is the man to get the meeting
here if it is possible.
