Roads Not Building On Garfield
Avenue.
The Northern Pacific, St. Paul & Du-
luth and Duluth Transfer Railway COM
I'anies were to- have begun work on the
Garfield avenue viaduct April 1, ac-
cording to the order of the court, but
they have not started construction as
yet. The companies, it is learned are
making preparations to begin work,
but they have plan that may require
further consideration by the city and
the approval Of the court.
The proposed viaduct will lie much
shorter than the length described in
the plans that have been discussed, if
an idea which the Northern Pacific and
st. Paul & Duluth roads are now Work
ing on is carried out. They propose to
make their trackage at the Garfield
avenue crossing more compact and
thus make the length of the viaduct
considerably less than is contemplated
by the present order. The roads count
upon the indulgence of the city and the
court while figuring on the proposed
changes. The court, it is expected, viii
approve of the changes IN the viaduct
if the city makes no objection. 1t /:
understood that some Of the propert!
owners near the proposed southerly
end of the viaduct are much interested
to have the structure abbreviated a:

PROFESSIONAL TRADE UNIONS.
Doctors and Lawyers Have Absolute
Control of Their PrOfessiOns.

Doctors and Lawyers Have Absolute
Control Of Their Professions.
There is no class of persons that has
as little sympathy for trades unions of
workingmen as the professional class,
yet there is no class of persons that
maintain such perfect trade unions for
themselves as this same professional
class.
Members Of the legal profession have
established an ideal trade union. This
trade union has absolute control Of the
profession in every court of law and
in nearly every civilized country. No
man can plead case as an attorney
without having made application and
having been received into the lawyers
trade union, known as the bar" The
power Of this lawyers trade union is
so great that judges bow in submission
to its rules and regulations.
The Medical Association, the doctors
trade union, prohibits any person. lest
he be recognized by such trade union,
prescribing medicine for the relief of
the afflicted. They have also estab-
lished professional ethics that are as
binding on their craft as are the ethics
Of labor unions. The medical profess
sion denounces as "quacks" doctors
who ignore the rules of the medical
trade union just as labor unions de-
nounce as "scabs'' workingmen who
ignore the ethics Of labor unions, and a
"wirking card" diploma, must be in
the possession of the medical practi-
toner before he earns a dollar at his
| trade.
The professional trades unions have
been far more successful in the protec.
| ton of their crafts than have labor
! trade unions. While labor has been de.
| nounced by many good people for at.
| tempting to secure legislation benefi.
cial to labor, these professional gen.
tlemen have quietly secured laws tina,
enfectually prevents "scabbing" by non
union professional men. The lawyers
the doctors. the dentists, the druggists
have all secured laws which proven,
incompetent persons working at thei.
respective trades, yet, when labor
union attempts to accomplish thes,
same results. these same professional
gentlemen join in the cry Of Dow,
with the tyrannical labor unions"

Aldermanic Party Returns From ST..

The party of city officials that visited
the Twin cities Sunday for the purpose
Of inspecting various kinds of paving
used on the streets Of those cities, have
returned home. The party consisted of
Alderman Rothermel, Alderman Haven.
Alderman Victor johnson and Commits
sioner Butchart of the board of public
works. They went there to make a
personal investigation of paving in or
der that they might vote intelligently
and for the best interests of the city
when the time comes to order the re-
paving of Superior and other streets.
With one exception, Mr.. Johnson, the
party left Duluth in favor of Kettle
Rive" sandstone. Mr.: johnson was
very much in favor of asphalt, but at
ter the inspection he agrees with the
others that asphalt is not suited for
this northern climate, and is not adapt
ed to anything but residence streets.

for the assessors office, the chief clerk

in relation to fremen who are longer

other employees of the city, the ordinary

the council to hold the expenses Of the

high enough.

The shorter work day has been ac-
cepted by the leading thinkers of the
country as the most logical relief for
the unemployed. and the shorter work.
day is therefore up for discussion In
ALI industries and in all nations = =, I
It has: been estin tied that the pres

ten hours per any slifrieient clEsi be
produced in six Elo nths to supply the
worlds demands for one year. This
being the condition with which the
people are confronted! it remains for
them to provide some means of greatly
increasing these demands, or else so
control methods of production that all
who depend upon labor for means of
subsistence shall have an opportunity
to secure employment.
If half of the popula ton by working
ten hours or more day can produce
sufficient to supply the demand Of the
entire population, and this half insists
on retaining a monopoly of employ
ment, what is to become of the other
half. the half who are unemployed?
| uClc dlc DuL iii &C SOulSCS ~
Those who earn wages must contribute
as charity sufficient to sustain the I'M
employed; the employed can join with
the unemployed in dividing such en-
ployment so that all may work ten
hours or more per day for half the
number Of days, or, as is now advanced
by trades unionists, the remedy can be
found by shortening the hours of labor
SO that all the people can find some
employment all the time. If improved
machinery makes it possible to produce
sufficient to meet the demands of the
world by operating this machinery
only eight hours per day and thereby
providing employment for all, then,
indeed, would improved machinery be
a blessing to mankind. Again, with
an arrangement whereby all may be
employed the demands for products
will be greatly increased; with a large
proportion of the population unemploy-
ed there can be no normal demand fo1
products. It is not the needs, the
sufferings, the pleadings of the poor
that creates a demand for commercial
products but the ability of the people
to purchase such products. This being
the case, it follows that with all indus.
tries operated on the basis of an eigh,
hour day employment would be giver
to one-fourth more people, and this ad
ditional employment will increase the
demand for products, which, in turn
would provide employment for still
more people. The greatest obstacle tt
overcome before the adoption of tn,
shorter work day is possible is the sci
fishness of those people who IRE so for

The St. Paul plasterers' union are
on strike for the enforcement Of their
scale The boss plasterers have form
ed an association and are working to-
gether in opposition to the demands of
the men.
\ month ago, through the officials OF
their union, the union plasterers notl-
fled their employees that the scale OF
s. per day was insufficient and that
after May l, 1900, all union plasterers
would demand $3.50 per day under the
same general contract as they have
been working. During the month of
March committee from the Plaster
ers' union visited the bosses individu-
ally and learned that they were almost
one in absolute opposition to the new
scale of pay demanded. Whether or
not the wOrkmen and employees will
have a conference before a strike is
officially inaugurated cannot be known
until after the bosses form their organ
ization tomorrow afternoon. 1t is be-
lieved by some of the union plasterers
that the bosses are forming their or
ganization for the purpose of giving
concerted resistance to the demand for
opinion that the bosses are bent only
upon securing concerted action in maxi
ing the best settlement possible with
the men,
The labor situation in st. Paul, as it
appears from the developments con-
nected with the demands of the plas-
terers is stormy one. There Is not an
organized craft in St. Paul, but what
has formulated demands for increase
Of pay dating from May 1 and the
working people were never as thor

The Plasterers' union is looked upon
as the keystone in the arch of the local
federated unions represented by the
Building Trades council. 1t has a
membership of over 400 and there are
fewer than per cent of all plasterers
in the city outside the union. The
scale Of $3.50 per day, demanded by the
plasterers, is not in excess Of that paid

There are now three Industrial strikes
in progress in St. Paul. The third was
declared yesterday morning when the
stone cutters in the employ of Lauer
Bros were ordered out by the business
agent Of the Building Trades council
for the reason that the proprietors
would not discharge non-union men in
their employ. The proprietors OF the
yards told the union men who went on
strike that they would do nothing in
the way Of settling the trouble until
the proposition made by the employers
council to the Building Trades council
was accepted or rejected, it being their
purpose to seek a settlement of the
difficulty through the plans pro-
posed by the employers council.
The strike of the union leather
workers who were employed by the
p. r. l.. Hardenbergh & Co., is still in
force. and the men are awaiting the
action of a full meeting of the Trades
and Labor assembly on the boycott
ordered by the union. The strike OF
the boxmakers is still in progress, but
it was stated Thursday night there
was some chance of settling it through
the mediation Of the Trades and Labor
assembly.
