Peru WIN be Compelled to Pay.

Chicago, Jan. 24--The Posts Wash
ington special says: The state de-
partment is understood to be taking
important steps for the enforcement of
the McCord claim against Peru, and a
broad intimation Is given out that a
sensational demonstration may be
made any day against the Peruvian
government.
This is one of the most aggravating
cases that had been before the state
department in years. The amount
is not large. being only about $4,000
but the Peruvian government has
haggled and proscrastinated over Its
payment until the patience of the gov
ernment has been taxed to the limit of
endurance. .lt.
State department officials are very
reticent, but the tip is given that unless
the claim Is paid within very short
time, an American warship Will appear
at CallaG with instructions to seize the
custom house and collect the duty until
the amount Is collected or the govern
ment settles.

He also reports that the great equa-

been photographed.
He also satisfactorily photographed

One of Our Candidates,

So long as you won't vote for the man
who is not loyal to Duluth labor, we give
a synopsis below of man who may be
if elected.
J. 3. Middlecoff, republican candidate
for Judge of Probate, was born in Clin-
ton, Missouri. His parents moved to
Missouri from Illinois, their native State,
shortly before Mr.. Middlecoff was born.
He was raised on farm, spending his
winter months in college and the sum-
mer months at home. At the age of
twenty he was graduated at the Clinton
Acadamy, Clinton, Missouri, with the
Degree of Bachelor of Science. He
taught for one year one of the largest
schools in the county and in 1889 entered
the law department and the following
September was elected in the University
of Michigan at Ann Arbor, graduated in
1891. He was appointed during the
vacation, assistant to the Fletcher Pro-
fessor of the law department and the
following September was elected Secre-
tary of the law faculty of the University
at Ann Arbor, and held the two positions
for one year. doing credit to himself, and
honor to the University and at the same
time pursueing his courses and besides

william Henry.

A large crowd listened to William H.
Eustis, republican candidate for gov
ernor, at the Armory, Monday evening.
His speech differed from the ordinary
campaign orator in that he had little to
say about politics, but talked about al
most everything else. In round about
way he said that he thought the republi-
can nominees were about the only ones
worthy to receive support, and of cou rse
"expected to see an overwhelming major
ity piled up for them in November" "
There was one thing particularly notice
able, he said nothing derogatory of any
of the opposition candidates. He left
everyone feeling particularly good, and
if they heard nothing particularly new
they were no worse for hearing William
Henry. !, '".

A Series of Debates.

A live labor union will reap large
amount of intellectual benefit in series
of meetings through debates on the live
questions of the hour. They may dis
cuss the political questions on which
there is a divided opinion or some par
ticular topic pertaining to their craft.
The lumbermen would at once have de-
cided opinions on the question of a 81 or
So duty on lumber, they have decided
opinions as to the number of hours a
man should work in day, as to whether
labor saving machinery is benefit or
not to laboring men, and whether the
labor union should mix in politics or not.
The discussion of these and similar
topics one or two evenings week in the
labor unions all tend to benefit the or
ganization.
The labor world., 1898-10-29
The Union,

With the long evenings of the fall and
winter before US active work should now
begin in all labor organizations to build
up and strengthen the various labor
organizations ia the vicinity. Every
trade and calling should be thoroughly
organized, and every man in every
vocation should become member of the
nearest union. It is not necessary to
recite here the benefits OF organization.
The social, intellectual and pecuniary
advantages to every member are many.
Now is the time to bring every workman
into the union that he may have the
advantage of the frequent social gather
ings and business meetings of the winter.

Label League Meeting.

The Label League held it's regular
meeting Monday evening, October "a.
Credentials were received from Thoma as
Lyons of the Typographical union and
Edward Schubisky of the cigarmakers.
A committee from the Trades embly
waited on the league in regard to en-
ploying an organizer for one month to
organize some of the unorganized labor
in the city. The league endorsed the
action Of the assembly, and committee
was appointed, consisting of Leytze,
Winberg and Lyons to act in conjunction
with the assembly committee and COM
mittee from the Building Trades council
in selecting an organizer. ...... H.

men and especially their wives to call for

Delegates to the league should be q
little more prompt in attendance and
take little more interest in the leagues
affairs than they do.
The labor world., 1898-10-29
TRUSTS.

This is period of trusts.
There is no use in fighting the
inevitable. The introduction of
labor saving machinery and
long hours have made surplus
in nearly every kind of produc
ton. Following the surplus
have come reduction in prices,
closer and closer competition,
strikes, boycotts and manytrou-
bles which have made manu-
facturers tired. They are glad
to cease fighting each other.
They want to combine, coop
crate, cut down expenses and
make more money. There can
be no doubt that their action is
along the line of higher civiliza-
ton. If now they will shorten
hours so as to give all their
employees work, all right. If on
the contrary, the trust means
long hours, smaller pay and the
discharge of workmen it is only
a question of time when that
industry passes under the con-
troll of the government.
