An Open Letter to MIR. Louis DwO1
schaI<, Sec, Etc.

schaI<, Sec, Etc.
Dear Sir:
Since my return to this city my at
tention has been called to an abusive
article in "The Tocsin" of April %,
entitled, "Fakirs on Record" in which
you devote six and one-half lines to
me, and state three falsehoods,
whether ignorantly or maliciously, 1
cannot say.
Now, there is no argument in abuse,
hence I shall not use any; although
falsehood, Misrepresentation and Will
fication seem to be your chief weap-
ons. I cannot account for your ven
omous attacks upon me except on the
ground that you are jealous of the
esteem in which I am held by my
fellow unionists, and you wish to cast
discredit upon me in some way. Kind
ly remember that "He who blackens
others does not whiten himself.'' All
the abuse you and your Section are
capable of using, (and you are ex-
perts at iD hurts no one but your
selves.
You are at liberty to continue call
ing ME fakir if it makes you feel
better; but I never got $4,000 per
month from the school board in my
life, and I never worked minute for
the american Tobacco Co., scab
firm.'' If facts would answer your
purpose why don't you learn them
before you rush into print? Neither
| was there any connection between
my unions troubles and my departure
! west. A position was offered me,
which while it lasted was better
| ment of my condition. I took it, as
| any sensible man would do; but a
further consolidation of business in
| that line resulted in doing away with
many positions including mine. Dur
ing my residence in Duluth covering
a period of eight or nine years, I
| haven't done very much that I am
| ashamed of, so I returned to this city.
Now, am not a capitalist, but I will
make you a standing offer of ten dol
lars for the name of any man, woman
or child that I ever wronged. This
world is a big place, and there is
room enough in it for you and both,
whether we agree on every subject or
not. Now, what kind of an idea
would it be for you to mind your
own business for little while? Your
personal affairs do not interest me
particularly, and I do not understand
why mine are matter of so much
concern to you.
| Wishing you success in every wor-
thy undertaking, I am,
Yours very truly,
2. R. COBB,

Duluth

The parade and mass meeting held
last Sunday afternoon by the striking
street car employees and the labor Or
panizations of Duluth and West Supe-
rior. was an imposing affair. The par
ade was as large as ever seen IN the
city. and thousands of people thronged
the strets. An industrial parade on
Sunday is an unusual occurrance and
The silent marchers created feeling
in the minds and hearts Of many that
was more telling than the most loudly
protest.
Owing to tie concert taking place
ut the A .:nory, and on invitation
Mr.. Frances Murphy, the temperance
lecturer holding meetings at the Un-
ion rink, the labor organizations
iioinedlwith him in a big mass meeting
Mr.. Murphy took up the first part OF
The afternoon and delivered most
eloauent address to an audience that
packed the immense buj'9aing.
Then the labor meeting was taken
.:up. The first speaker was President
Kriz of the Trades assembly. He SAID
that the delegation was there repre-
santing the street railway employees
now on strike. "We want to lay the
case before the people Of Duluth so
that they may determine whether or
not the cause of the strikers is just.
Mr.. Murphy has told you that all good
tbinos are the result of labor. lie
said that capital cannot get along
without labor and that labor cannot
get along without capital, for capital
is the produce of labor. We are
:, fighting those who use capital to
grind down the working man. 1t is
war it must be admitted. Either the
workers will be ground down so that
they will be lower than the Mexican
poems or they must conquer and rule
for the good of all.
MI. Kriz then introduced Joseph q
LaChance, secretary of the local street
car union, who sad that he had come
to Law before the people lae facts III
relation to the controversy now eN
listing. He said that some time age
the union appealed to the genera
manager of the street railway, beg
ging him to be human, and to modlf!
certain rules which amounted to tyr
amy. He would not listen to them
When a number of employees were dis
charged for no cause other than tina
they were members Of the union, thel
next step was to appeal to the courts
The courts decided against them, hold
ing that they could not judge Of tn
good faith of the general manager
The next thing was a most painful III
cident. A number of the most worth.
members of the union were takel
from their homes Cn the Sabbath ant
thrown into prison. Why? Beca's
they were members of the committe
that waited on the general manage
to ask him to recognize their rights
The speaker concluded hy reading tn
preamble to the constitution of tn
association. which showed that it wa
organized for the purpose of bringln
about better service to the employers
higher intelligence among the mer
and general improvement.
MIR. KriZ then introduced Mr.. Ma
hon, who, in opening, thanked MI
Murphy for dividing his time with tn
workers at Il sacrifice to himself, an
the w. c. r. e. for giving them tn
result Of the work they had put in o
the hall. He stated that while he ha
never heard Mr.. Murphy before h
knew of him, and he knew him to b

There seems to be a good demand
for men as general thing in this vi
cinity. With the opening of nayiga-
ton, the starting of the mills and an
increased demand for men on the ran
ges and the range roads, most every
one can get work that wants it. Wag-
es are fair but nothing in advance OF
what is paid other years for similar
work and at the opening of the sea-
son.

MILLS CLOSED THIS WEEK.

The mills last week made 47,S2O barrels
of -four. All of them ran a>little. None
of them are running this week owing to
the dull and inactive condition of the
flour market, and the fact that they are
going through process of liquidation in
getting in possession OF the United States
Flour Milling company.
The weeks -four shipments from the
mills amounted to q. 300 barrels. OF which
IS, 72o barrels went to the export trade.

lumbia Hall last Saturday evening.
The meeting was called by the Trades
assembly in the interest of the strik-
ing street car employees. The follow
ing resolutions were adopted:
"Whereas, the Duluth street railway
employees are engaged in a struggle
for better working conditions, and
whereas, the struggle has been waged
for almost two weeks without signs of
wavering by any member of the union.
Members have been tempted by the
general manager to return to work,
which they have refused to do, unless
accompanied by the entire member
ship who were engaged in the service
at the beginning of the strike, and
those who were discharged without
cause; and, whereas, this city is being
flooded with slums, outcasts and Grim
mails from our large cities, who make
business of working during strikes
and who operate the cars for the pur-
pose Of stealing all they can from the
company.
''The lives of the travelling public are
imperilled because of the Incompetent
cy of the operators. They make a
business of carrying dangerous, con-
cealed weapons, which they habitually
flourish in the most trifing disputes.
Women are being insuled upon the
streets in the resident portions of the
city by some of the present operators,
while passing upon their cars. Mel
whom we have reason to believe are
hirelings have entered our ranks and
have fruitlessly endeavored to induce
certain members to commit acts Of
violence against the property
of the street railway company
for the purpose of prejudicing
the public against our cause.
Upon the suggestion and through the
efforts of our honorable mayor, an at
tempt was made to secure the settle
ment by means of arbitration. to
which the receiver of the street rail-
way company fatty refused, even if
instructed to do so by the courts.
"After careful considera ton of the
above well-known facts, it is hereby
resolved, by the trades unionists of
the city of Duluth in mass meeting as
sembled to call on the citizens of this
city in defense of their homes and
their firesides, their lives and their
property, to aid the street railway
employees in this fight by withdrawing
their patronage from the street rail.
way company until this matter is set
tied.
''Resolved further, that as reward
for extended sympathy we will pat
ronize only such business men as will
not ride upon the street cars.
"Resclved further, that as an expes-
sion of sympathy, each and every per-
son is requested to wear a white rib
bon on the lapel of his coat.''
Arrangements were also made to as
sess all union members for the main
tenance of the strike.
