this city, was one of the finest

by general vote, Edward Kriz, men,
Der Of the boilormakers' union and dele

gress.

Dworschak says:
"The Duluth comrades are aglow with
enthusiasm for the coming fight, for the
fight in this district may be rightly con.
sidered significant since this is the
stamping ground Of the "Hon." Chas. A.

field in the district, although our efforts
will be greatly hampered by the small.

A fine ADDRESS.
w. D. mahon Visits Duluth and
Holds 4 Mass moot.
ing.
A Crowded House Gr00ts the
Apostle Of Organized
Labor.

w. D. Mahon, of Detroit,
Mich, national president of the
Amalgamated Association of
Street Railway Employees of
America, was in Duluth the
first of the week. Mr.. Mahon
was here in the interest of his
organization and held mass
meeting at Columbia hall Tues
day evening. Mr.. Mahon is a
verv able speaker and his ad-
dress was one of the best we
have ever had the pleasure of
listening to. To meet person
ally he is a most pleasing gen
tleman and readily commands
respect and consideration.
It has been noted that Mr..
Mahon resembled w. J. Bryan.
Possibly 80. We noticed a
greater resemblance to Eugene
V. Debs, not in features, but in
kindliness of speech and ex-
preston.
At the mass meeting E. K.
Cobb acted as chairman. May
or Truelsen made a short ad-
dress of welcome. followed by
w. E. McEwen, who spoke
briefly on unionism.
Mr.. Mahon, on being intro
duced, said he had been told
that the feeling was prevalent
among the business element of
the city that organized labor
was a detriment to the finan-
cial interests. Unions were too
tyrannical.
Capital has nothing to fear
from the trades unions said the
speaker. The capitalist will
find organized labor giving him
as fair treatment as it receives.
A gentleman called on me at
my hotel this morning and dur
ing the conversation asked me
if I did not think unions were
too exacting. They demand
that every workingman shall
have his working card. I
asked my visitor what his bus
mess was and he replied that
he was an attorney. I asked
him then what would happen
if a man went into court and
tried to practice law without a
diploma showing that he had
prepared himself for the pro-
fession by the proper training
and education? Would we
hire a doctor who had not grad
uated from a medical college
and could not show his diplo-
ma? Would a school teacher
be employed if a certificate
could not be produced? You
see trades unions prevail in all
trades and professions but
when labor asks for a working
mans working card it is tyran-
ical. When workingman can
not show his card we call him
a "scab." When a lawyer can
not show his he is called a
,"shyster."
In this commercial age we
must organize to protect our
interests. The Armours organ
ize and name the price of meat.
The Rockefellers organize and
name the price of oil, and so on.
Labor must organize and say
what the price of manhood
shall be.
It is claimed that the trade
union movement is unpatriotic
and un-American. That it has
been brought across the water
in the discontented mind of the
foreigner.
When the forefathers of this
nation met to discuss the form
ing of a nation they did not
meet in independence hall in
Philadelphia, as it was then in

ana lanQeO WITH the T1lRTlmS.
If anyone has any claim
to America it is the
trades unionist. The Wander
bilts, Rockefellers and Carne-
gies are the ones who are un-
patriotic.
Strikes are disastrous and
deplorable, but the whole COM
petitive system is on a strike
all the time. While labor goes
on a strike once in a while, cap
ital is on strike continually.
Step down to shoe store and
you must have the price before
you can purchase a pair of
shoes. Go into a clothing store
you must have the price or you
cannot get the suit of clothes,
and it is the same everywhere.
Capital is always on a strike
and demands a price, but let
labor demand a price before
selling and it is tyranny.
We did not think a boycott
80 very bad when the tea was
dumped into Boston harbor
and the strike at Bunker Hill
has been applauded as glor-
iOus. ="
They tell us labor is never
satisfied. Is capital ever satis-
fed? Is Rockefeller ever salts
fed? He is always wanting
more, more. Labor should
want more and more, It should
reach out and out and more and
more until the world is OBJ
tained and labor gets all it pro-
duces.
Let labor's aims be high.
We must reach down and pull
those below us up to our own
standard or they will pull us
down to theirs. Remember
that our own firesides depend
upon us. Now is the time to
strike for our loved ones. The
hour is here. Work must be
done, and speedily. We are
more in need of soldiers in the
ranks of labor than in the war
with Spain. We must live for
our children and for those who
come after. =. 4. :. -. =
Iknow labor has made and
is making many mistakes, but
I would rather stand before the
bar of justice and answer for
all the mistakes of labor than
to answer for the crimes of
capital in the lone state of
Wisconsin. ..*. Z
Much is said in condemna-
ton of labor 1eaders-the agi-
tatOrs. The labor leader is
here to stay. Behead all the
leaders today and tomorrow
there will be springing up as
many more>to take their places.
Organization, consolidation
of labor, is the only salvation.
Do. not listen to the willy poll
tician. The two old parties
are alike. zone is no worse
than the other" The republi-
can will tell you: "Vote for me
and I will give you protection"
The democrat tells you to vote
for him and he will give you
free silver. The populists says
.'vote for me and I will save
you" We have had protection.
I have heard protection talked
ever since I was a boy and
what has it given us? Over
800 trusts have reared their
heads. Protection has never
yet protected the 1aborer. Pro-
lection has produced the tramp
and the dude.
We now hear the cry of free
silver. I see in this free silver
craze the handiwork of the sill
yer baron. Leave the poll
tician and political party alone
that tells you that you do not
need your organization if you
will only vote this way or that.

RENO, New, July 14.-Passenger
train No. l. east bound, was held up
last night one mile east of Humboldt
The express car was blown up and the
safe was blown open. The robbers es-
capped. 1t is not known how much booty
they obtained. According TO some &C
counts but two men were engaged In
the robbery, while others place the
number at three. A negro who was a
passenger on the train was suspected
of having been an accomplice of the
robbers and arrested. 1t may be that
he is the third man.
When the train arrived at point
one mile east of Humboldt two masked

climbing over the tender and covering
them with a revolver and a Winchester
rifle. The robbers blew open the ex-
press car door with dynamite, entered
the car and then blew the safe open.
The car was completely demolished. No
one was hurt in the explosion.
Sheriff McDeid of Humboldt County
and a posse are in close pursuit, and
1t is believed the robbers will be cap
tured, as they only had q few hours
start of the officers.
1t is thought the robbers boarded the
train at Reno, riding on the blind bag
gage until II reached the point at which
they carried out their plans.
