MARINE ENGINEERS.

George Uhler, national president of
the Marine Engineers association, made
his annual visit to Duluth last Satur-

steam engineers were invited to be
present. Mr.. R. A. Webster acted as
chairman. Mr.. Uhler made an interest.

that to the engineers Of the great lakes
belongs the credit of our national or

braces the marine engineers unions OF

members have been fundamental ideas
constantly aimed at and much has been
achieved along those lines. With the
forming of a national organization we
at once enlarged the scope Of our work.
We procured the repeating of objec-
tionable laws that oppressed not alone
the members of the association but of
many other people that go down to the
sea in ships. One of the greatest
achievements perhaps was the work &C.

There MAY Be Trouble.

Charles Evans Holt says the law must
be enforced ia regard to Sunday closing;
the Civic Temperance Cooperation is
unanimously with him; the chief of
police is quoted as saying there may be
trouble, and a body of business men
have had conference in Luther Men
denhall's Office to discuss opposition to
this pernicious activity.
Mr.. Holt brought a series of COM
plants before the assistant city attor.
ney Tuesday. He said that several
saloons we're running without license
Their money is on deposit with their
application for new licenses. It has
been customary in such cases without
warrant of law to let them keep open
till the license was issued or refused
Attorney Spencer is said to be puzzled
not knowing whether the lay should be
enforced or not.
Mr.. Holt has complaint in one case
that saloon was open during the for.
hidden hours. AS there is probably moi
one saloon in town that has not violated
the closing laws, Mr.. Hollis complaint
may have good foundation, though it is
not so certain that he has good evidence.
Attorney Spencer will consider that
carefully as he does not wish to prose-
cute unless successfully.
Mr.. Holt also accuses policeman OF
being intoxicated and sleeping it off in a
hack. The policeman admits that he
was asleep in hack but denies that he
was intoxicated and says he was off
duty and had right to be asleep in the
hack. That is a matter for the police
authorities to hear and determine.
incidentally Mr.. Holt, the mayor and
theschief of police had conference in
the attorneys Office, in which they did
not agree very we'll. The chief takes it
ill that Mr. Holt should interfere with
his jurisdiction and Mr.. Holt criticises
the chief and the mayor for laxity in
these matters.
About the same time the other confer
ence was held in Mr., Mendenhall's office

Their decision was that it would b.

The Labor EXCHANGE.

lQo National LaDOr EECuduSe Ndo III
corporated under the laws of Missouri
by order of the circuit court for Peter
county of that state on March 1st, 1890
The head office is at Independence, Mo
Branches for the transaction of bust
ness have been organized in nearly al
states in the union.
There are at present over 2)O branches
with large membership. 1t is an or
ganization of producers. man ufacturers
and others, interested 10 the advance
mont of the people. Any person not en-
gagged in an injurious business, without
regard to sex, age, race or religion, can
become Nom Der by complying with
the rules. The membership fee is one
dollar and covers all the charge for a
life mem bership, there being no assess
ments or other dues. The application is
forwarded to G. B. De Bernardo, the
president of the ASSOCIATION at lnde'
pendence, Mo. A certificate of Nom
bership is issued direct from headquar-
tiers to the member, emitting him to
mem bership in any branch in the world
without additional cost. Upon the Or
ganization of local branch they obtain
a charter and exchange and balance
checks from the head Office. The ex-
change checks are issued to member
in payment of deposit of labor or mer-
chandise made with the branch and the
balance certificate is issued for the pur-
pose of conveying like amount of the
permanent wealth of the association to
the 3epositor. The Labor Exchange
checks are based upon real wealth in
the keeping of the exchange and hence
is perfectly safe circulating medium.
Some of the chief aims of the Labor
Exchangeis to put the idle in the COM
munity to work making something USE
full to themselves and to others, and by
furnishing circulating medium, which
is the title to that product; assist in ex-
changing it with others who are in need
of the product Another aim is to
stimulate home industry by making
in every locality any and every article
that can be produced in that locality.
The Labor Exchange affords an op-
portunity to those who get money in the
form of salary, or otherwise, to invest it
in a paying institution, and yet not be
deprived of the use of the money, which
is done in this way. After the Labor
Exchange is producing an article money
is received from members and like
amount of Labor Exchange money is
given them which will buy just as
much in the market as their money, but
at the same time certificate of deposit
is given which entities them to SO much

ton and dividends are declared as often
as they appear in as much as the sur.
plus products are monetized land paid
out pro rata to all members. G.

will be at the Lyceum, Monday March
81. Everybody who enjoys bright, gin
gerry, clean farce comedy, with enough
music in it to almost entitle it to be
classed as an opera, will be pleased at
this announcement There are no chan
ges in the company whatever since it's
last appearance here; and the same
clever people will be seen in the several
characters of the play. Though the
company has not changed, the piece has
been frightened up materially, and the
new things, together with the best OF
the old ones, which are still retained,
make it brilliant performance. The
comedians are just as humorous as here
tofore, while the girls are always ready
to tune merry lay or step into grace

the brightest things Of the season at the
