LOCAL NOTES.
Keep on with your noble battle
Against triumphant might;
No question is ever settled
Until it is settled right.

| No question is ever settled
Until it is settled right.
There is some talk of contest. but the
probability is it will result in talk.
The Label League met Monday even
ing. Very little business was transacted
out of the regular routine.
GThere is some talk of re-submitting
the charter at another election. but the
plans have not fully matured.
The work on the Short line of the
Eastern Minnesota. between this city
and st. Paul, will be commenced in a
few days. This will give a number of
laborers employment during the winter
months.
The fusionists in this county have
something to be thankful for. The y
succeeded in electing the register of
deeds, clerk of court, one senator and
one commissioner. The state fusionists
get the governor.
The Socialist Labor vote in this dis
trict for congressman was not very
heavy. Two years from now things will
be in better condition to put up good
| fight. In the East the socialists made
great gains everywhere.
It is rumored that organized labor Of
Duluth is after some of the plums that
will fall from Governor Lind's hands
after he takes the oath of Office. Will
liam McEwen and Alfred McCallum have
been mentioned for positions in the labor
department of the state. Of course the
Twin Cities will want all they can get.
William Garland, the newly elected
organizer of the Trades Assembly, has
about effected an organization of both
the book binders and broom makers. 1t
will be necessary for all members of the
two above named crafts on both sides
of the bay to join in order to obtain a
charter. It is understood that this will
be done. gEs'S's'
The "labor directory fakir" recently
worked the business men; Of Erie, Pa.
His plans Of operation we're very SINH
lar to those used by the smooth young
rascal who had such good start in
that direction in this city, He collected
for his work in advance, and left the
city between two days with a large
amount Of the "gullible gulls'" money. i
The Trades Assembly at the last meet
ing refused to indorse the boycott of the
walters union on the Bethel restaurant.
It caused lively tilt on the floor of the
assembly and resulted in the delegates
from the walters union informing that
body that they could fight their own
battle without assistance. Judging from
past experiences the walters are fighters,
without any mistake.
Foxy Herbert Warren, the street rail
ways hireling, is having ~. S. Maip'
painted on the sides Of all it's street
cars. In case Of trouble with its en-
ployes, Warren probably thinks this
ruse will enable him to run his cars. If
there was any mail service in connection
with the Woodland or West Duluth
lines, it would be considered mighty
slow one.
New York society women have found
out that clothing manufacturers have
been charging outrageous prices for
their goods and at the same time starv-
ing thor employees. Now they propose
to start cooperative shop where their
goods can be made, better wages paid
the workers, and at the same time mon
ey saved to the purchasers. The en-.
ployers will probably denounce these
women as anarchists. A.
The printers and employers of Duluth
have not arrived at an agreement in re-
gard to the proposed change Of scale and
the shorter work day as yet. There is
general movement among the printing
fraternity all over the country for 8
9-hour day, which is meeting with gem
eral satisfaction, but the matter of ar
ranging wages will probably create
some confusion until the new condition
is tried, when it will probably regulate
itself to great degree.
A decision has been rendered by the
Michigan supreme court which in effect
declares a boycott unlawful, and an I'M
warrantable menace, intimidation and
coercion. The case was appealed from
the district court at Detroit by Beck &
Son, millers. who had obtained an in
junction restraining the railway team
sters' union from interfering with the
firms employees or business, but sane.

decree by epjoining all forms of boy.
