Good Union Men.

Three strangers stood before the bar
of a Superior street saloon.
Gimme a beer" said one.
"I'll take a cigar said another and
the third allowed that he would, too.
The barkeeper handed out a box Of Gig
ars, and the men looked at it closely.
Got any others?" they inquired.
Lots of Them" said the barkeeper,
and he handed ont several more boxes.
The customers scanned them cl0:e!y and
then shook their heads.
"Wheres the union label?" they
asked together.
"That's a good union cigar said the
barkeeper indicating one Of the boxes.
Il know them fellers. and they keep
a good union shop
"Wheres the label?" repeated the
men suspiciously. And the barkeeper.
being unable to produce a box with the
required label on it. had to give it up.
Give me a small beer" said one OF
the two.
"Give me a glass Of pop said the
other.
All Of which goes to show that there
are some god union men from outside
in town this week. The three men were
delegates to the longshoremen's con-
ventiOn.

I'll AVS TRAFFIC H
PRESENT METHOD OF OPENING 1N-
TERsTATE BRIDGE.
\ Superior Paper Charges Mt"mnn-
That the Delays In CrOSHinE Back
nnd Forth Between the Two Cities
are Demoralizing to the Peace OF
Mind Of the BUSINESS Man.

The nuisance and Inconvenience to
passenger traffic between Duluth and
West Superior, occasioned by the mis-
management of the interstate bridge
has become SO aggravating that cltl-
Zens of both places are aroused to right
eous Indignation.
Thus does the Evening Telegram OF
West Superior declare in leading edl-
tOrial of late issue. Under the pres
ent system it is utterly Impossible to
make any sort of connections between
the two cities and the business man in
a hurry has had his peace Of mind dis
turbed to such an extent that con-
tinuation will be demoraliZing to his
mental machinery. The Telegram says
that for the most part these delays are
absolutely inexcusable and attributable
to the lack of care and to the lncom-
potency Of those in charge of the bridge.
If one is fortunate passage across can
often be accomplished in from five to
thirty-fve minutes, but it is d pretty
safe thing to calculate upon being de-
layed more than half an hour.
The Telegram suggests that if COM
petent men were employed much of the
trouble which is now experienced could
be readily avoided.
Tugs in the harbor also come in for a
scoring. Many which have occasion to
pass up and down the river signal to
the bridge tender long before there is
any occasion and directly the draw is
opened and passengers at either end of
the structure are compelled to await
the tug pilots pleasure. Moreover
many of these craft have elongated
smokestacks which should be trimmed
down materially. thus obviating the
necessity of opening and closing the
bridge with such frequency.
The paper recalls the fact that the
public granted the bridge company a
valuable franchise and now pays it
continual tribute and adds that it
should be compelled to operate the
bridge in an intelligent manner with
the least possible annoyance to the pub
lie. IF it cannot" says the Telegram,
''then let the company throw it up. We
once lived without bridge and can do

Three IN THE RACE
FOR LOCATION OF NEXT LONG
SHOREMEN's CONVENTION.
Toledo. Port Huron and Marinette
Want 1t and Chances Are In Favor
Of Former City-Advoc0tes of Free
and Unlimited Time Are showed
ton Of Resolutions Expires Today.

The question inspiring considerable
interest among the delegates to the In
ternational Longeshoremens' conven-
ton just at present is the location of
the next convention. A friendly but
earnest competition was waged at yes
terday's meeting by the representatives
of several cities, but it seems to be
somewhat uphill fight for two of them.
The places under consideration are
Toledo, O., Port Huron, Mich, and
Marinette, Mich, and from present in
dications it is probable that Toledo will
win out. It's main advantage lies in
the fact that it is about midway be-
tween Buffalo and Duluth, the two ex-
IRENE ports on the chain of lakes, and
therefore more accessible to the ma
jority of delegates. The matter will
probably be definitely decided Friday
afternoon.
Wednesdays session of the convention
was devoted almost entirely to discus
siOns over two resolutions reported to
the convention by the committee to
whom referred. The one calling out
the most opposition was one providing
that none but bona fide longshoremen
should be allowed to represent the sub
has been the custom in some instances
that men who did not actually work
at the business, or had not for some
/ time, although thoroughly in sympathy
| with the aims and aspirations of the
| association had represented the local
| unions in both state and international
conventions. This method is objection
| able to some Of the delegates and de-
| termined fight is being made against
it. The DIRECTORS were not strong
enough to carry their point yesterday,
however, and the resolution was finally
recommitted. 1t may come up again
today. The other resolution inspiring
considerable argument, provides that
5 minutes should be the time limit for
all speakers in debates. The peror-
ators in favor of free and unlimited
time had the better OF the argument
but the silent" delegates had the votes
} and won their contention fixing the de-
bate limit as stated.
| The consideration of the two reSO'
buttons practically concluded the work
: of the day, as In the afternoon dele
gates, were taken in tow by the loca
> entertainment committee and given {
? trip around the harbor and the .horr
; on the steamer Bon Voyage, and thu
balance of the day was given up t.

Mr.. Samuel Autler, general treasurer
of the United Garment Workers OF
America. whose headquarters are at
2S Lafayette Place, New York, has
been in Duluth for several days past,
working in the interest of the garment
workers label. which it is hoped. will
put an end to the horrors of the sweat
ing system, which has come to be such
foul blot on the civilization Of this
country.
Mr.. Autler reports that he has met
with excellent success in his efforts
throughout the country to have mer-
chants handle union made goods, and
in Minneapolis, st. Paul and Duluth
there seems to be a desire on the part
the garment workers, and as fast as
demand can be made for label gar
ments they are willing to meet the de-
mend.
G. w. Ericsson, and VIM. Abrahamson,
Of the Hub. have declared in favor of
the union goods in preference to others,
and will handle them to the exclusion
of nOn-union goods wherever possible.
Mr.. Autler is very earnest and SIN
cere worker, and should receive the
hearty support Of all union men Wher-
ever his mission may call him, as he
is engaged in a holy warfare, and all
the combined forces of organized labor
should unite in crushing out this dam
nable sweating system.
