81 The article in the Herald of March
8, stating that the action of the Car
penters union demanding higher 5Wag-
{es and shorter hours will be: the cause
of prev enting building, is not the true
cause. The other trades have nearly
all, made demands for higher wages
and shorter hours. We hear nothing
Sof that. Building material has ad-
yanced from 80 to IS per cent. Cost
sof living and rents have advanced in a
greater ratio than we ask in wages.
The advance il, wages IS not, as stated
in the Herald, from Is to IS cents. The
fact is, that most carpenters the last
season have received from s2711 to 80
cents per hour. Another fact is that
the money for. the materialSis largely
sent out of the city except the commits
sion to the local agent. while the mon-
;ey paid out for labor is all kept in the
city to circulate among the business
men. The carpenters have more mon
ey in.tools, suffer more from loss, re-
pairs and ibreakage, than other trades,
and for. the skill required. are. one OF
the poorest paid crafts on the building
Taking all things together we believe
we are justified in our demands to our
selves and the general public and hope

will admit the honesty ana Justice q

RETRENCHMENT COMMITTEE. :;
In the spring of 1896 the. various CIV.
ic, commercial and Industrial societies
appointed representatives to act on g
committee chosen for the purpose OF
proposing retrenchments In the differ
ent municipal departments. Mrs. Akin
represented the Trades Assembly, and
although she favored the most rigid
economy in municipal affairs. yet she
was unalterably opposed to the reduc-
ton of the wages of the working men,
claiming that their salary was then
Insufficient. &
She stood alone in her fight to pre-
vent a reduction in wages of. the city
employees, and, although she was un-
successful. yet her determined opposi-
tion prevented a greater cut in wages
than was made; ~ z.
During the few years of her life that
were devoted particularly to Duluth
labor, she occupied many positions of
trust. Her, work was determined and
unceasing In behalf of a people whom

manity never has rewarded those who
have plead its cause, and it never will.
Earthly rewards are insufficient to pay

good that he can do in performing the
duty that he owes to his fellow man.
Most men whose names are immortal
were cursed and stoned while they
lived. Lincoln's life was one of trou-
BILE and abuse. Christ was crucified by
the very people he came to save. So it
has been in the past, so It will be in
the future. -, S.. +.
Now that Mrs. Akin is gone her work
will be appreciated more than ever.

menting upon the recent trust confer
ence, says that so far as throwing any
light upon the trust question or assists

might as well not have been held as
the constant putting. OF the wage ques-
! tion to the front is what destroys the
value of these meetings, and as a mat
ter of fact, the wage. question should
receive only secondary consideration,
and the income question should be the
one mainly considered. We are sorry
we cannot print the article entire, but

i Dear :, Sir: "A As.contribution in your
paper of the 18th just received, COM
menting upon the meeting Of the Chi
cago Antitrust Conference, would
lead one to believe that the main OBJ,
ject was to devise means to raise the
pense of income. I 5t-5 i,
From this it would be inferred that
the income: of the capitalist class is to
be more safe guarded than that Of the
laborer earning a dollar or two a day,
and who is the man who produces all
the profits (income) which the favored.
capitalist. would have especially guard
ed, and which has been fortified with
all the surroundings flaw, Gnterpre-:
ted for it's INTEREST," what more could it
desire? -. -.
You say trusts are opposed because
they interfere with the wage system,
and that no opposition would exist if
under their operation everyone would
prevail. e. $s-::>~~:. -
L am frank to confess that in this
double statement you have answered
the whole question and satisfied the
average reader that the trust is the
enemy to wage workers; andSI assert
fright here again that if the toiler is
considered as the wage Garner and not
mere clerk in an office, that you have
fairly stated the question and made a
