A HORRIBLE ACCIDENT:

A HORRIBLE ACCIDENT:
The sad accident which
caused the death of Fireman
Finlayson and the serious in
jury to Firemen Cameron, War
rem and Twaddle on Wed
nesday, again emphasizes
the hazardous occupations
which these men follow and
should attract the attention OF
the public to the miserly salar-
les paid them for risking their
lives and limbs at all hours of
every day and night. The fact
that they are so poorly paid is
nothing short of a disgrace to
those who lave the fixing Of
their salaries. In the first place
it is necessary to have good
men, physically, mentally and
morally. The Duluth firemen
contain all these requisites. In
short.it is admitted that Duluth
firemen are first class in every
respect. The greater portion
of them are married and have
families and their little homes
here, manyof them, have grown
up or have lived here for a
number of years. Their duties
compel them to be at their post
twenty-four hours Of every day
except one hour three times a
day for meals, and an occasion
al short half day off. Every
time they are called out their
lives are put in jeopardy and
they are exposed to such I'M
avoidable accidents as occurred
Wednesday besides thousands
Of others. The public never
realizes the danger until some
shocking accident occurs. For
all these risks, hardships en-
dured at fires, long and lonely
hours on watch at night, faith
full service rendered in saving.
life and property, they are paid
by city well able to double the
amount, the niggardly, pernur-
ious sum of $50 to $40 per
month. This to support, clothe
and feed their families, buy uni
forms and educate their child
rem. It is simply damnable-
nothing less. The chief of the
fire department is a well-paid
official and it is right that he
should be. But that the men
who bear the burden, who do
the hard work, who take the
great risks should be so poorly
paid is simply an outrage and
a shame in every sense of the
word. Men devote ten or. fif-
teen of the best years of their
lives to the city's service and
when they retire, for any cause,
let them econonize and make
the best of their opportunities,
they are no better off in this
worlds goods than the day
they entered the employ of the
city. No class of men that fol-
low hazardous avocations are
SO poorly paid. The position
of tiremen is no less dangerous
than that of a railroad engineer
yet the former receives $50 and
the latter from 500 to $125 per
month.
Finlayson is dead; killed in
the faithful discharge of his
duty. A half dozen homes are
made unhappy. There will be
others some day. But that

l would advise you to be cool
headed and be sure you are
right in your premises before
taking extreme measures.
Ex-Mayor Starkweather was
next introduced; he said in
part:
II have been introduced as
the old gentleman. Iwant you
to understand, my good people,
that my hair is not as gray as
the hair of your mayor. Per-
haps it is his sin. It is natural
for an ex-minister to draw such
a conclusion, you know. [ am
not going to talk politics to-
day, either state, county or ma
tional. 1 am simply going to
talk to you of unions. I see
evidences everywhere today of
the great and growing strength
of the labor unions. It is not
the politician that is fighting
the labor organizations, but the
combined forces of wealth
of trusts, of gigantic mono
poles. If you will send the
right men to congress, to your
state legislature, you can bring
the politicians to their knees.
Labor is supreme and can be
made the ruling force if you
men are wise and make a
proper use of your strength.
What we need is a common
wealth of 1aborers. Why, you
1aboring men are not yet COM
plete. I hope the day is not far
distant when James H. Agen
will stop running for congress
and begin organizing far
mers' alliance to join your
unions, and then you will find
us all there. I know all about
farming, for [ milk a dozenScows
every night and morning. I am
pleased to talk with you today.
| am glad to see the growing
strength Of your unions. It will
not be long, I hope, before that
dream of the laboring men of
the world will be realized, when
you will have eight hours
work, eight hours sleep and
eight hours play"

SUPERIOR.


the Trades and Labor Assem-
bly, was held last Monday on
Wisconsin Point and fully three
thousand people were on the
grounds enjoying the festivi-
ties. The day was ushered in
with the usual parade in the
morning which formed on
Third street at o'clock.
Every union was we'll repre-
scented and this years celebra-
ton certainly eclipsed all pre-
vious attempts.
Whether considered from the
number participating or from
the way in which they marched,
certain it is that the 1aboring
men gave the people Of Supe-
rior the best exhibition of a
parade ever seen in the city.
But aside from a spectacular
view it also showed the great
following of the labor unions
and gave an idea OF their
strength that could be obtained
in no other way. Many who
witnessed the parade carried
away new impressions of labor
organizations.
| A number of notices were
carried in the procession, the
retail clerks having 8 or 10.
The most conspicuous were:
"Don't bother your grocer after
7 o'clock. Buy early" Anoth-
err followed the lady clerks and
read, "The people of Superior
don't want the lady clerks to
work Is hours day. They will
patronize stores that close
early" The clerks of the Bee
Hive carried the motto, or SEN
timent rather, 1--WE appreciate
early closing"
After the parade the crowds
took passage on the steamers.
for Wisconsin Point where the
speaking took place at 1870,
Mayor Dietrich being first on
the program. He said in part:
"Yonder in Washington is an
old yellow docum INT, covered
with the marks of age, and it is
priced above all papers ever
written. / mean the Declara-
ton of Independence. In that
famous document are found
these words, we believe all
men to be created equal Are
they? Is the half civilized
Bushman of Australia created
equal to the person born with q
silver spoon in his mouth? Are
his capabilities for enjoyment
equal to those of the man who
lis born with millions and who
has within his reach every adj
vantage that wealth can give?.
I'VE think not in some respects,
but we do think that so far as
natural advantages are con
cerned each should have the
same opportunities. (Cheers.)
I'VE believe in that doctrine in
America; we believe that men
are created equal within GER
tain limits although they are
not equal in capability or in
hereditary instincts. ..s..5.
"Today we are celebrating
the declaration of a new indie

Fourth of July of the laboring
man. I am pleased to stand
here today and talk to these
