A GREAT MEETING IL
WILL BE THE cosv4sr,os OF IN
TERNATIONAL LONGsHOREMEN.
Duluth and Superior LOngshOre-
mems Unions are ,Exerting Every
Effort to Make the Gathering Me-
mOrable-GOOd Program Being
Prepared and Delegates Will not
Want for Amusement.

The LOngshoremen's convention to be
held here in July will be the largest
gathering Of Longshoremen ever held
if all indications prove true. The local
unions have a hustling committee at
work raising funds and making ar
rangements for the entertainment of
delegates. There will be a ride around
the boulevard which we are sure every
delegate will enjoy, that is if the wea-
ther is favorable. Few people who Wis
| it Duluth ever miss that beautiful
drive. 1t has no equal in Ameeica, and
many have been the expressions of ad-
miration at the beautiful scenery sur
|veyed from the summit of our hills
| There will also be a banquet at the
St. Louis hotel where good fellowship
will be exchanged.
On Friday evening large labor dem
onstration and torch light parade will
take place. At the Armory there will
be a grand ball. If the evening is fair
the mass meeting will be held in the
open air. Hon. c. A. Towne will be the
orator of the day, and officers, dele
gates and local labor men will also
speak. Duluth's reputation for hos
pitality will not be allowed to lag.
l
onstrate that they too know how to
properly entertain visitors.
The business men have been more
than generous in their contributions to
the arrangement committee, and the
longshoremen most heartily appreciate
lit.
In the street parade the labor unions
of Duluth and Superior will turn out
enmasse. There will be a thousand
longshoremen in line. The carpenters
of Duluth have resolved to turn out,
adding $50 to thatenumber. Other un-
ions are expected to report favorably
On the following invitation sent out by
the joint arrangement committee.

SOME WAR BOOKS DIDN'T PAY.
HObsOn's Publishers Found kissing
Expensive.


Expensive.
Of making many books there is an end.
There's tradition to the contrary, but
It's originator never tried making books
about the Spanish-American war. Some of
the New York publishers will envy his
luck. The fate Of the war books has been
rather an interesting commentary upon
modern conditions and feeling, If one
has watched the process from the inside.
Don't say war Dooks to me-, said a
well / known publisher recently, .s ,'.Il '..I' d
n " I'M, he 81 ssal s;ss|
spoiled the market for war literature. The
public, while it is at fever heat with ex-
element, gets newspaper stories written
by the cleverest men in the profession.
The work is done under the pressure of
entense enthusiasm and Isl dramatic and
direct to degree that no. one man IN
10000 can attain when he sits down in cold
blood to write a literary review Of the
war. The public has had lis appetite
glutted during the very storm OF battle.
and the ordinary writer's best stuff has
been written then. Only Il man whose
personality wins readers, or whose literary
instinct is remarkable, can make sue
cess of a war book published after the
close of the war.
| Hobson's book would have had a very
good run if he hadn't killed himself and
everything connected with him, by that
kissing bee. 1t was a sweet death, but
the funeral was expensive for the pub
lshers It's a dreadful thing for clever
and brave young man to be absolutely de-
void of Il sense Of humor
| ''rhe human note Was what the public
wanted. The writer's who recognized thai
fact got the public ear. Ninety-nne men
out of every hundred didn't care an atom
about the strategical conduct of the war
or the weighty questions involved in il
but they were absorbingly interested il
individual dramatic experiences. They
didn't want to know about the movements

The Plumbers union of st. Paul held
their regular meeting last Wednesday
night which was largely attended and
visiting delegates were present from
Duluth, Minneapolis and Chicago.
After important matters connected
with the strike were disposed of, the fol-
lowing officers were elected: President,
NJ. Connell; vice-president. j. D. Hy-
land: recording secretary, Charles
Doyle: financial secretary, J. Match
sheim; treasurer, Martin Feehan; in
side sentry, j. Sullivan; board of di-
rectors, Charles Devinney, William

tional convention, r. Doyle and Martin

The Minneapolis plumbers made an
other donation of $500 to the plumbers
of st. Paul.
The Wood Workers of Minneapolis
are we'll pleased with the action of the
State Federation in placing an en-
OeAA 81 OIA IIlC Ol TIE
firms refusing to sign there agreement.
Nearly every member who went out on
strike is now at work, and all con-
slider that while there was not COM
D a.Rlete success. yet the galn. has been
l1ch more than the loss. y ~ f,ts
~ The benefit to the Wood-Workers will
be felt in many ways. 1t has given
them confidence in themselves, it has
shown the employers that they will
stand together and it has taught the
men the advantages that may be had
through organization.
Now that the fight is taken up by
the Federation and by the central
bodies of the two cities, there is no
doubt the firms which held out will
be shown that is is an expensive thing
to refuse the Just and reasonable de-
mands of organized labor.
If the fight is carried on in Vigorous
manner there is little doubt these firms
can be brought to accept the terms of
the Wood Workers. We join with the
organizations of the state in wishing
the men complete success.
