GRATEFUL 70 nfASLty
CARPENTERS UNION HONORS ITS
FORMER PRESIDENT.
Party In His HOnOr-Twenty-
five New Members.

Last Tuesday evening the Carpen-
ters' Union held the greatest event in
it's history, both from Il business and a
social standpoint. At the business ses-
sion twenty-five new members were in.
itiated, and several candidates were
proposed for the next meeting. If any
one should go cunning for non-union
carpenters days they would find
them as scarce as buffalo on a western
prairie. Almost every carpenter in the
city is member of the Carpenters I'm
ion. Business is unusually good for
this time Of year. and everything. in
dicates a most prosperous season. ].
l.. Heasley, a former president of the
union, who has been located at Virginia
during the past year, and who has been
a prominent figure in our local labor
circles for years, was visitor at the
meeting. Near the close of the session
two stalwart carpenters charged that
this old war horse was a stranger in
the meeting. He was deliberately pick
ed up by his accusers and carried di-
rectly to the chair of the president
President Kelley then. in behalf of the
union charged him with his past record
so we'll known to every union man in
Duluth. He expressed the sentiments
of the union in language of the highest
praise, and very feelingly referred to
his intended departure to another state
I'm expressing the gratitude and
thanks Of this union," said President
Kelley, "for the valuable services you
have rendered, for the many sacrifices
you have made in it's behalf, and for
the manner in which you have success
fully fought it's many difficulties, find
that language cannot express suitably
the feelings that. are within US, and the
esteem in which you are held by ths
carpenters of Duluth. No word. no act
no deed. can repay you for what you
have done for us. We desire, however
to have you take with you this slight
token from the Carpenters Union, and
besides this you have our hearts, our
wishes and our earnest hopes for your
future success"
The gift was handsome gold mount
ed briar pipe. Mr.. Heasley, whose
voice had rang through the carpenters
hall many times In the past, when at
tempting to reply, found himself simp-
ly dumb struck. He, however, thanked
the union, and said that he never could
forget the many happy years spent ir
Duluth. and particularly with the Car.
penters Union. After this the wives
and lady friends of the carpenters
claimed admission. The doors were
opened, and headed by five musicians
the ladies took complete possession
The party was in honor of Mr.. anG
Mrs. Heasley, and the balance of thu
evening was spent in dancing. The
! receipts of the business meeting
| amounted to $17496

schak of the labor bureau, reported
that the bureau expects to open up for
business soon. The treasurer reported
having a balance on hand of $763.91.
The assembly purchased eight dance
tickets of the striking woodworkers Of
Chicago. A new amendment to the
constitution relating to the duties Of
the financial secretary and treasurer,
which has been combined into one office
was adopted. The salary was fixed at
$40 year. The Tenth avenue viaduct
which the city was to build in April,
has not as yet been started, and the
council committee will look into the
matter. JOhnson's meat ). market on
First street has been placed: on the fair
list by the. Butchers Union. The
Freight Handlers Union reported their
intention of giving ball at the Armory
on May 9th, for the benefit Of some Of
their sick members and the families Of
their departed brothers, and it. is hoped
that members Of organized labor will
respond to this worthy cause. The
assembly voted to purchase ten tickets
to help the good work along. The
Brewery Workers Union have succeed
ed in getting most Of the beer drivers
in the city to Join their organization.

FIRST MEETING: OF THE SEASON 4 SO IS
~. }ENTHIsIASTIC ONE. 81 /
Abatement With Shippers is Ratified.
Viii Hold Their a nnunl Flee
fE !. ton of sOfficers Monday. \,

The first meeting of the season of the,
Saturday s5evening in Gilley's hall at
West Duluth. The members went 8 to
work with an old time vigor. One huns
dren and fifty members We're present,
and considerable business was transz
acted. The. Longshoremen's Union is
the largest in Duluth. It is the best
disciplined, and the members are as
loyal to their organization as any we
know Of. When they began their sea-
sons business last Saturday evening
they did it with an earnestness and
sincerity that encouraged every men,
Der to do his duty faithfully. The COM
mittee that went to Ashland to arrange
the scale of wages for the season, made
their. report. The wages are to be fifty
cents an hour, and none but union men
are to be employed. The report of tile
committee was accepted with satisfac-
ton. Although the union at this port
suffered a reduction of ten cents an
hour under last years scale; yet they
are all perfectly satisfied if for no other
reason than satisfactory rela tions exist
with employers. If any one has looked
lightly upon the Longshoremen's Union
in the past, let them be different now.
few short years ago they Were re-
garded as mere common dock workers,
usually the least thought of among all
classes of marine workers. When their
organiza ton was formed they received
about fifteen cents an hour for their la

their way, receiving through each effort
higher wages, better working conditions
and more independence, until now they
stand beside the proudest mechanic in
the city, receiving as good wages, if not
better, and a like improvement; in their
general working conditions. They have
abolished Sunday labor, something the
preachers and churches have been work
ing at for years. To the longshoremen
belong the credit. Now when we hear
more of the abolition of Sunday labor
reverend gentlemen our remedy: the
organization Of the workers into trade
unions, and they will do the rest. At
Saturday evenings meeting a commit
tee of five was appointed to frame a
working card for the coming season.
A committee from the Superior union
was in attendance to arrange satisfac-
tory agreements between the two un-
ions relative to the work to be done in
the Duluth Superior Harbor this season.
The union will meet again Monday
evening at the Great Eastern hall. The
occasion being the annual election Of
officers. The present officers are Cor
don O'Neill, president; Moses LaFavre,
vice president: Thos. P. Ultican, sec
rotary and@John E. Brotherton, treas
urer. AS the present officers have been
unusually faithful during the past year,
it is safe to predict that they will all be
easily reelected. OF course, there will
be some opposition, the meeting would
be dead without it; and when all Is
over they get together in love feast.

There is more Catarrh in this section
Of the country than all other diseases
put together, and until the last few
years was supposed to be incurable.
For a great many years doctors pro-
nounced it a local disease, and pre-
scribed local remedies, and by constant
ly failing to cure with local treatment,
pronounced it incurable. Science has
proven catarrh to be a constitutional
disease, and, therefore, requires con-
stitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney &
Co., Toledo, Ohio is the only -consti-
tutional cure on the market. It is taxi
en- internally in doses from 10 drops to
teaspoonful. It acts directly on the
blood and mucous surfaces of the sys-
tenn. They offer one hundred dollars
for any case it fails to cure. Send for

HOLDUP GAINS
CIGARS AND SO CENTS


Walter Calder. an employee Of the
Salt Lake Street Railroad company,
was the victim of bold hold-up IN the
vicinity of the Warm Springs last night.
Mr.. Calder had been 10 The Springs
for bath, aud was returning 10 his
home at 374 K street, when the hold-up
occurred For exercise he started TO
walk home, and was treading the lonely
and shadow darkened sidewalks about
two blocks south of the Springs, when a
man suddenly stepped ont from the
shadow of a tree. and. thrusting the
business end of a big gun under his
nose, ordered him to throw up his
hands.
As the hold-up stepped out Mr.. Calder
was in the act of looking at his watch,
which pointed to the hour of 3. When
the order to elevate his hands came he
promptly lifted them, but held his
watch in his hand and kept il sthere,
concealed beneath his closed fingers,
until the thug departed.
The foOtpad, according to the story
of Mr.. Calder, held the pistol under his
nose with one hand, and with the other
leisurely went through his pockets,
turning them wrong side out and ex-
aiming the contents. After going
through his clothes thoroughly, the rob
her pocketed 50 cents which he had
found, and, lighting one of four cigars
which. he took from Mr.. Calder, he
placed it in his mouth and proceeded to
take a quiet smoke, while he ordered
his victim to get a. move on him down
the street. Mr.. Calder lost no time In
obeying the command
