The movement on the part of certain

tion the past few days. The matter is
being thoroughly disc ussed by the differ
ent unions and some plan of defense will
be outlined soon. One of the plans pro-
posed is to organize a purchasing bu-
reau; the object of which will be to sur
ply the homes of every member OF or:
ganized labor with every necessity Of
life from outside of Duluth. This can
be easily done and no doubt to the ad-
vantage OF the purchasers, if properly
handled. Ordering in large quantities,
as will be do9e, transportation will be
cheap, and buying direct from the>m man
ufacturers will certainly be a saving
over retail prices in. Duluth. ~.
A united effort will be necessary, and
to get this the Trades Assembly, with
the endorsement of every union, will
have to take the lead. IL u4

action would undoubtedly work hard

the unions meant not only the homes
and livelihood of the members, but man
hood, principle and honor, which must
be maintained, even il at severe cost.
He said he believed $4,000 could be
raised right among the unions of Duluth,
for the fight if necessary. Every union
would empty it's treasury. =
Such fight as being talked of be-.
tween the enemies of organized labor
and the unions will be bad for this city.
The ones who are agitating this move
ment and doing the talking are not the
prime movers. There are others. Be
that as it may, the projectors of this
movement should weigh carefully all

will be before too rash a step is taken.
