Ex-secretary T.. W. Allen. Of the
Trades assembly, is spoken Of as a
candidate for the legislature from the
fiftieth legislative district. His friends
are endeavoring to displace him for M.
Miller. the only working man in the
last legislature, and, by the way, the
workingman's worst opponent. Mr..
Millers chances for election in so close
a district would be very slim this year
on account Of his pronounced attitude
on the antf-boycott bill, and his con-
demnation of prominent labor men in
the city, who he imagined were run
ming Duluth. Mr.. Miller was employed
by the Imperial Mill Co., during the
time that institution was on the unfair
list, hence his opinion on the effect of
boycotts. Some people wonder if it was
organized labor that compelled the I'M
perial Mill to be nailed up. Surely
none would be so vile as to blame it to
trust.
