To Affiliate Under the Proud Banner
of the A. F. of L.
An appeal to all wage workers to or-;
ganize and federate has been issued
by the executive council of the Amer
lean Federation of Labor It follows:
T g. Throughout our country struggle.
is raging between the oppressor. and
the oppressed, the possessors of wealth
and the laborers. The concentration
Of industry and wealth is the order, Of
the day. Everywhere the workers must
organize and federate to protect and
promote their mutual interests. AL :t,*s
"In this combination and concentra-s
ton of wealth the possessors permit no.
sectional or state lines to interfere with.
their power, and it therefore behooves
the toilers, the wealth producers to
unite and fedora te regardless Of wheth-
ser. they are located east, west, north
sor south, irrespective Of sex, politics,
color or religion: The hope: Of the
workers, the prayer of all our people
for justice and right and the perpet-
uation of republican institutions lie in
organized labor. p :: " .5*4t*.a I.
"Recognizing these essential truths,
the executive council of the American
Federation of Labor: appeals to all
wage workers Of whatever trade or

PRESENT PollClfS'
OF THE ADMINISTRATION IS OP.
POSED BY LABOR MAN.
Andrew Furuseth, Chairman Of the
Legislative Committee of the
American Federation of Labor,
Makes 4 Notable Declaration
Against Imperialism-Cheap Labor
is the Object.

Andrew Furuseth, secretary Of the
Seamen's union of the Pacific, is, per-
haps, the best known trade unionist on
men in the labor movement in the
United States. AS secretary Of the Sea-
mems union, he has done more than
any other one man, outside of con-
gress, to secure for the sailors in Amer
lean ships the ameliorations in their
conditions which have been brought
about in the last half-dozen years.
For several years his union has kept
him in Washington during the sessions
OF Congress, and the laws which have
made seamen somewhat better situ-
ated than slaves are a monument to
the industry and ability with which he
has advocated their cause before the
committees and members of the house
and senate.
During the last two years Mr.. Fur
useth has been chairman Of the COM
mittee on legislation Of the American
Federation Of Labor-the great organ
ization which contains practically every
trade union in the country, representing
over a million members. In this posi-
ton he has been personally in charge
of the measures which embody the leg
islation desired by the laboring men Of
the country-such measures as the g.
hour bill, the bill abolishing the use
of the injunction in labor disputes, and
the numerous other bills providing for
fair treatment for workers both afloat
and ashore.
It will thus be seen that no man in
the labor movement is better qualified
to Judge Of the meaning Of present po-
litical movements and that none is bet
ter prepared to advise laboring men
and all who sympathize with them as to
the side they should take on present
issues.
Mr.. Furuesetn was found at his Of
flee at the headquarters Of the Seamen's 8
union, and asked to make statement
of his position on the issues bound up
in what is known as imperialism by
the Democrats and as expansion by the
Republicans. He complied with entire
Willingness, saying: .as s..,Sy +. 4 /

We pledge ourselves to stand by the

time checks for labor performed in the
woods or elsewhere. thus requiring that

we stand unalterably opposed to such
repeal. .~' ::

undoubtedly be operated twelve months
in the year. That is the intention if it's
projectors. They expect to work the
local trade at the head Of the lakes
and on the ranges very hard to find a
market for a large part of the 500 bar

in this vicinity.
The officers, and they are the men
who are principally associated in the
enterprise. are: Walter Scott of Du-
luth, president; r. l.. Mccormick of
Hayward, Wis.,, vice PRESIDENT; A. D.
Goodman of Duluth, secretary and
treasurer.
Walter Scott, president of the COM
pany, is well known to nearly all Du-
luth people, having been head miller of
the Duluth Imperial mill in this city
for twelve years and until the United
States Milling company closed the mill
about year ago. Since that time the
mill has been idle. Mr.. Scott has the
reputation of being one of the very
best millers in this country and it was
mill that the fame of Imperial flour
became world wide. Duluth people will
be glad to learn that Mr.. Scott has en-
barked in business that will continue
him as resident of Duluth
Robert L. Mccormick, of HAYWARD.
Wis, the vice president of the company.
is one of the we'll known men of the
northwest in business circles. He is
already known to many people of this
city and is recognized as a man of vast
resources, financial and otherwise. His
connection with the following compan-
les will give some idea of the immen-
sity of his business interests. He is
secretary and treasurer of the Northern
Grain company of Chicago, which OBJ
crates a line: Of $50 elevators in 1llin-
ois, Wisconsin, Iowa and Minnesota;
is treasurer OF. the New Richmond;

ser Timber company. This last COM
pany purchased some eight million
acres of timber in Washington the ear
ly part of this year and it is said tc
be the largest tract of timber owned
by any one concern in the country.

American claimants to the Delagoa award

total of about IS 900, 600. Besides this Portu-

| The Americans interested in the award are
heirs of Col. Edward McMurdo. who, with a
number Of English capitalists, built the road
and ran 1t until it was seized by Portuguese

was Miss Agnes McMurdo, daughter Of
