The labor world. [volume] (Duluth, Minn.) 1896-current, 1900-08-25

That the coming Labor Day will be
the greatest ever celebrated in the city
there is no doubt. Everything points
to the largest picnic and parade on re-
cord. A little more interest has been
injected into the arrangements by the
receipt of an offer from Danziger Bros.
of Syracuse, N. Y, obtained through
the efforts Of w. M. Abramamson of
the Hub Clothing. House.
The Labor Day committee wrote to
this firm for an advertisement for the
Labor Day program. They replied that
they did not advertise in that manner,
and referred them to Mr.. Abrahamson
of this city, who handled their goods
extensively. Mr.. Abrahamson immedi-
ately took the matter up and requested
that Danziger Brothers offer silk
banner to the union making the best
appearance on Labor Day. He advised
this on the grounds that he had re-
ceived a very liberal patronage from
organized labor in the past, and as a
token of appreciation to union men
the firm ought to present something of
that nature.
The next that was heard of the mat
ter was the following communication
received by President Jones of the
Trades Assembly:

nal form of government still slings to

nal form of government still slings to-
nal form of the child of the new state
but it fights for its own individuality,
The representative form of govern
nent, as we know it today, stands for
the past and deca. ing: the trades
union councils, and the organizations
of merchants and manufacturers
stand for the now orderof things. Back
of all legislation can be plainly seen on
the one hand the bribery or influence
of the employer and on the other the
fear or influence of the employe In
stead of letting the men who are Co
ing business, the employer and en-
ploye, get together and arrange the:r
affairs, the old thing, the legislati ton,
still clamors for recognition, and it's
rake-off by it's unscrupulous laws and
regulations.
A brief comparative glance at the
benefits achieved through legislation,
and the benefits derived through or
eanization, is all that is a.;lxed.It will
prove the case. I therefore ha'iere
that in place of being a menance to
law and order, the trade unions form
an integral part of the social body,

Chicago Building Trades Council to
Order Men Out.
CHICAGO, Aug. 22.-Unless the plans
of the leaders miscarry every union
man connected with the building trades
council will be called out on strike be-
fore Labor day. The plumbers have
already been ordered out and it is the
intention that all other unions whose
men are working shall follow suit
Owing to the increased activity in the
building trades within the last few days
many union men have been put to work
in some places with the consent Of the
business agents and it is the purpose
of the unions to stop the work wher.
ever the bosses believed they had won
a victory and show them that the labor
organizations are still in the fight.

|. CLEVELAND, Aug. 22:-An electric
car ON the Cleveland & Chagrin Falls
suburban line was. wrecked early today
near Chagrin Falls; the crew and twelve
passengers being cut and badly bruised.
Five persons were seriously injured.
The accident was caused by a broken

Meice, Chagrin Falls; Mrs. Walter
Barrows, Chagrin Falls; G. H. Hubbell,

The friends of M. E. Neary, president
OF the State Federation of Labor, are
endeavoring to induce him to come out
as a candidate for Railroad and Ware
house Commissioner on the fusion
ticket.
In a letter to the Labor World this
week, close friend Of Mr.. Neary's
says that he has consented to enter
the field for the nomination.
Mr.. Neary is capable man, and will
bring strength to the ticket. He is
we'll known throughout the entire state,
as he has been connected with the state
labor movement since it's conception.
The labor press of the state are
enthusiastically for him and desires
that he be candidate. 1t is generally
considered that one of the candidates
shall come from Minneapolis, and as it
is Mr.. Neary's home city it makes his
chances for a nomination good. Mr..
Neary is especially strong. in Minnea-
polls where. he commands the respect
and support Of the members oforgan-
llzed Labor

Relative to his candidacy, the st.
Paul Record says:
There seems to be a demand on the
part of organized labor that a place
on the Democratic ticket should be
given to one Of it's members. There
are at present over $4,000 in the ranks
of organized labor in this state. The
Record heartily endorses the movement
and suggests that the office Of Railroad
and Warehouse Commissioner be given
to the president of the State Fedora

| would make good running mate for
Hon. P. NJ. Ringdal, and would

If Mike can be prevailed upon to make

56s The offer has been accepted and the
banner will be given as first prize III
the parade. The second prize will be
$500 given by J: w. Rowley of the
Kalamazoo building.
The points to decide on will be:
First-Uniform dress.
Second-Largest proportion of men,
bers in line.
Third-Manner in parade.
The winner of the first prize may
have the choice of design for the
banner. Mr.. Abrahamson will leave
the appointment of the judges to the
Trades Assembly.
It is likely that two of the Judges
will be representatives of each of the
daily papers; the two to choose a third
person to act as Judge.
/ Already the unions have begun to
take an unusual interest in the con-
test.
The Carpenters union are in the
race in earnest and expect to eclipse
all other unions in the parade. The
Plumbers say that the banner will be
carried by them next Labor Day.
Other unions feel likewise and there
may be some surprises in store.
All arrangements for the day have
been completed: The Labor Day COM
mittee met Tuesday evening in the
business office Of the Labor World and
disposed of unnecessary matters that
required attention. The Sub-commit-
tees reported that they had transacted
all business referred to them.
Tickets to the picnic have been dis
tributed to various members of labor
organizations and good sale is 'ex-
pected. The committee will go to Fond
du Lac tomorrow to inspect the
grounds.
The program is now in the hands of
the printers, and will be out early
next week.
The City Band, North Star Band and
West Duluth K. P. Band will furnish
| music for the parade. Flaaten's Or
chestra will play at the dancing pavil-
| ion.
| The line of march and position OF
unions in the parade will be announced
during the week.
Everything now depends on the
| kindness of the weather man relative
to the success of the day. The fol-
lowing letter has been mailed to the
business men of the city, which is self
explanatory. and it is earnestly hoped
| that there will be general compliance
to the request:
Dear Sir: 1t has been the custom in
the past to request, by petition, the
| business houses of the city to close
on Labor Day,this takes considerably
of both your time and ours, so we
write this letter, asking you as favor
to labor, to aid us in the observance
of Labor Day. By this we mean that
you grant to your employees a full
holiday on that day.. You undoubtedly
would appreciate a day of recreation
as well as your employees, If you were
assured that your competitors woult
close also. ..%>: >@- s1E& -

The Socialists chief outcry against.
trade unionism is that it is too slow
They clamor that the naturalization
of all industries would bring about the
desired freedom at once. Yet they offer
no better solvent for the control of all
things, than through the played-out
system of representative government.
Any sane man today admits that re-
preventative government has about
outlived it's usefulness. The expert
ence of the world, with it's truth, as
absolute as the law of gravitation,
that the moment a man is elected to
represent the interests of a constit-
uency, that moment his interest and
the interests of those he is to represent
cease to indentify.
You have got to get away from poll
tics before any material progress can
be achieved. The creed of the trade
unionist, stated in its simplest form, is
mind your own business"
Discarding the current loose way of
speaking of society as a conglomera-
ton of individuals without syuthesis,
let us endeaver to speak of it as an
organism, and to treat it in a physio-
logical way. The thing to keep in
mind is what St. Paul said to the
churches, I'VE are all members of one
body This was not meant as pretext
to furnish texts to preachers. It was
the truthful report Of man who saw
and knew the world he lived in. What
is true then of the world so scattered
and separated, is a greater truth to-
69v in a w0r11 in, which hoe
been eliminated; and world bound to-
gether by the wire and rail where every
interest stands out in clear relief. The
key that St. Paul furnished in the
likeness between the human and the
social bodies must be the tool by which
we gain direction.
We come to the knowledge of the hu-
man body only by knowing it's men,
bers and their functions, and the social
body can be known in no other way
Man has no other pattern than his
own organism with which to build the
state, and the social organism is the
working out of this. Time will not al
low to go extensively into the evolu-
tionary side of this presentation To
bring this properly before the people
the development of the human body
would have to be traced from the
primary stages of the semi i-nerveless
being to the full co-ordinating indi!-
vidual.
Corresponding stages in the social
body could be traced from it's uncom-
municating barbaric condition to the
state that we live in, with the avenues
of communication erected on every side
| will attempt to cover this by saying
| that the erection of the telegraph and
telephone wire presents to my mind the
likeness of the organization of the
| nervous system in the human body.
| We have just arrived at the stage
that enables us to grasp the unity ex-
isting, and to see as a working fact
what st. Paul knew only as an idea.
With the physical fact comes the
spiritual meaning. We find that this
wonderful nervous system that has
been forming around us is the organ
of true government-the free circula
tion of intelligence. The difficulty il
recognizing the new order of things
Is similar to the excessive labor OF the
mother and the struggles of the child
at birth. The old womb-like or pater.

this trust of the banks, and Europe
will say this no more. There will be

Here be true news. This is grave
story. 1t is one of even concern to
small and great. Let it come unshod
Of simile, unbusked~ of imagery or
rhetoric, uncloudedN of any mists of
metaphor. In Wall street as this is
read, the giant trust of all is forming.
It is to collect within itself the banks
Of New York City. Its core is to be
Standard Oil. Its moving spirits are
John Rockefeller and Piermont Nor
gan. With them in full and close as
sociation are the Rothschilds and their
American agents. It was to link the
Rothschilds to the scheme that of late
took Morgan Europeward and brought
him back again. This trust, at it's con-
summation, which is close, will pull
the reins of guidance and crack the
whip of domination over two billions of
dollars. It will, as stated, be a muster
Of the New York City banks. They
are to be made into one force-unif1ed
and brought under one word and one
command: Thereafter they are to say
mo" together or "Yes" together, or
together stand motionless and mute.
This trust of the banks is to be the
dictator trust; to overload all other
trusts. The greatest among these lat
ter will be dwarfed as they stand be-
side it. We, the people, are to become
the subjects of bank conquest and suf-
fer the fuedalism of money. This bank
trust is to be our William Of Norman
dy. New York City is to be it's Hast
ings without blow. It will have, as
it were, Doomesday book, and the
country is to be parceled among it's
followers.
This is a true tale. There is neither
guess or fancy in it's telling. Naught
but the bald facts are set forth. This
trust expects to hold the nation in the
hollow of it's hand. Their plan is to
be the grand bank of the United States
Issue at the last it's money and have
custody of its credit. In a cruder day
