Henry Burwel], of the typographical
union, has been appointed one OF the
boycott committee, of the Trades AS
sembly, in place of Williamm Garland
resigned.
Herbert Warren, the tool of the street
railway company, is probably not SO
great man, even in his own estimation.
as he was before he met Judge Moer on
Wednesday.
President McEwen has appointed the
following Labor Day committee: Charles
Leytze, chairman; Thomas Savard, John
McMurchy, August Saxine and Walter
Johnson.
The domineering tactics practiced by
Herbert Warren, are becoming negro
slave-drawer, but this imported specimen
OF a bulldozer will find that he has
lively job on his hands.
The boot and shoe makers union COM
plain that number of shoe stores EN-
ploy non-union shoemakers. The trades
assembly requested the grievance COM
mittee to look into the matter.
The trades assembly has endorsed the
boycott of the carpenters union against
Captain Norris. The assembly INDUCED
in considerable discussion over the mat
ter before finally disposing of the matter
at the last meeting.
The street car union appointed COM
mittee to see about getting badges for
Labor Day. All members will wear
them on that day whether off duty or
not. Messrs. Ross, Jeckell and Kenyon
comprise the committee. -.
The cigarmakers complain of falling
off in business. They also say too many
non-,1nion- cigars are sold in Duluth.
This is not the way to build up Duluth
and is detrimental to every ones interest.
Buy homemade cigars bearing the
union label.
The street railway employees union
took in seven new members at their regu
lar meeting Saturday night. This organ

in the city and the recent decision
rendered by Judge Moer will give new
impetus to their work.
At the request Of the typographical
union the trades assembly has appointed
committee to wait on the council and
endeavor to have that body pass reso'
luton requiring the union label on all
city printing. The committee is CON-
posed of Walter johnson, j. w. Allen,
and John McMurchy.
w. D. Mahon. national president of
the Amalgamated Association of Street
Car Employees of America, said, while
here, that he found the members of the
Duluth division better acquainted with
the workings Of trades unions than any
he had ever visited in the United
States and he has visited them all.
