Foreign Element i'm Ohio, Oregon, Ok
Iahoma and North Dakota.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 6.-The Census Blu
reau to-day issued a statement showing
the result Of the enumeration of the popu-
lation of the States of Ohio, North Dakota
and Oregon and the Territory of Oklahoma
in respect to persons of school age and
males of militia and voting age. The state
ment shows that In North Dakota foreign
white males constitute $50 per cent, and
native white males of foreign parentage
1873 per cent, the two elements together
representing over three-fourths, or III per
cent. of all the males of voting age in 1900.
These same elements combined constitute
in Ohio 1913 per cent, in Oregon SO per cent,
and in Oklahoma IL per cent. Colored
males of voting age, principally Chinese,
Japanese and Indians, constitute in Oregon
81 per cent. of all males of voting age,
while in Oklahoma this same element, COM
prising chiefly persons Of negro descent
and Indians, constitutes Z per cent. of the
whole number of males of this class. In
North Dakota and Ohio the proportion of
colored males of voting age is small, or a
little over ? per cent. in each. Among
males of voting age, as a whole, there is
only a small proportion of illiterates in all
Grafton, the highest percentage, SO, being
in Oklahoma, and the lowest, 40, being in
Ohio and Oregon.
OF the whites of native parentage in the
States and Territories under consideration
the largest proportion of illiterate males of
voting age is found in Ohio, or 81 per cent,
while OF the native whites of foreign par
entage the largest proportion of illiterate
males of voting age IS found in Oklahoma,
or 2 per cent. In North Dakota foreign
white males of militia age constitute SO per
cent, and native white males of foreign
parentage 24.5 per cent. of all males OF
militia age in 1900, these two elements to-
gether representing over three-fourths Of
the whole number of males of this class.
In Ohio these two elements combined con-
stitute 1871 per cent, in Oregon $40 per
cent, and in Oklahoma 1871 per cent.
In North Dakota practically o~ne-sixth, or
1871 per cent. of all persons of school age
are foreign born, while in Oregon 3.S per
cent. and in Ohio Al per cent. of the whole
number Of such persons are foreign born.
In Oklahoma persons of school age are
very nearly all Of native birth, the foreign
born constituting only 1 per cent. of the
whole number of such persons.

LUMBER PLIERS ORGANIZE.
Union Promises to BE a Creditable
Addition to Orga anized Labor.

Union Promises to BE a Creditable
Addition to Organized Labor.
j. For the last few years there has been
attempts to organize with success the
various men who are employed in tire
saw mills. Unions have been formed
and for some reason, after a seasons
work was done they would disband.
The trouble was that a general union
Of saw mill employees found it difficult
to work with satisfaction to all the
membership.
A new plan has now been suggested.
This is to organize the different branch
es Of the work in separate unions. The
lumber pliers are the first to make an
effort along these lines. There are
some who believe that this is not a
trade within itself. Our experience
among them has told us that every
man can not pile lumber to the satis-
faction of the employer. There is some
thing about the business that REQUIRES
watching, and if a lumber piler is not
on to his job he is liable to spoil a good
ly amount of lumber.
This being fact, the men who fol-
X.
work at it year in and year out. inst
the same as if they were at a trade,
Last Sunday afternoon nearly a hund-
red lumber pliers employed in the vari-
Gus saw mills about town met at the
I. o. G. T. hall, West Duluth, and or
ganized a union to be known as the
Lumber Pliers union of Duluth. They
elected officers and made application
for charter. They also appointed a
committee to draft. a constitution and
bylaws. The union will be formed
along the same lines as the Longshore-
mems union, and it is hopefully ex-
pected that it in time will be capable
OF controlling the trade as do the
lumber leaders. Wages will be steadilv
increased, and the conditions of toll will
gradually be made better.

The strike of the Brewery Workers
union has been satisfactorily settled,
and no love has been lost. When the
men returned to work Monday morning
1t was just as If nothing had happened.
Last Thursday the union went out on
strike for higher wages and shorter
hours. It was at first thought that it
would be fight to finish, but calmer
judgment soon reigned and on Sunday
the committees from the Trades Assem-
bly,, Brewery Workers union and the
employers, got together, and after a
thorough discussion the white winged
angel of peace descended, the god Of
war disappeared, and each extended to
the other a fraternal hand shake.
The trims of the settlement, from all
indications, are highly satisfactory.
The wages will be from $13 to SIS per
week. The hours will not be changed
just now. Each party stretched g.
point. It was a matter of give and
take, as there was a. disposition Of fair
ness all around, they were not long in
reaching a medium. A representative
of the Labor World called on repre-
sentatives of both employers and en-
ployes this week, and both expressed
their high appreciation of the actions
Of the other.
The Brewery Workers union deserves
considerable credit for the advance
ments they have made since their or
ganization, but two years ago. Since
then all Sunday work was been abolish
ed. The hours of labor have been ma
terially reduced, and the wages have
been increased. This ought to encour-
age every member, and if they are fair
and conservative there is no reason why
the union cannot accomplish more in
the future, through a gradual process.

The Duluth Trades Assembly for the
Electrical Workers union, have filed
with the City Council q complaint
against the Zenith Telephone Company
for not adhering to the terms of the
franchise, granted to this company by
the City of Duluth. The complaint Is
as follows:
Duluth, MINI, Aug. %, 1901.
To the Honorable Mayor and Members
Of the Common Council:
Gentlemen: The labor organizations
OF the city have always taken a deep
interest in municipal affairs. 1t was
the Trades Assembly that first declared
for the municipal ownership of public
utilities, and when the question was
brought to an issue, If fought on the
side Of the people.
When the franchise of the Duluth
Telephone company expired, the Trades
Assembly stated forcably its position
Again it reiterated it's former declara-
tions for the municipal ownership of
public utilities, and desired that the
city own and operate it's telephone sys-
tenn. The council, however, thought
different, and franchise was given to
what is now known as the Zenith Tele-
phone company. Under the franchise
the said, Zenith Telephone company, is
obliged to use in it's construction copper
metallic lines.
This has not been done, as can be
proven by an examination of it's work.
Iron wire is used where copper wire
should be. During the past year moth
ing but iron wire has been used upon
the poles of said company, with the ex-
ception of about twenty miles of copper
wire which is used as tow lines.
The system is not as was agreed up
on. It was to be metallic system, that
is that there should be but one sub
scriber on each two wires.
Substantial evidence can be produced
which will show that this has not been
done. On Seventh avenue east and
Fourth alley, which is known to the
company as D. p IS, all subscribers are
on common return system. This in
terferes with cross talk to such an ex-
tent that some Of the phones have been
ordered out. Three subscribers sue
ceeded in getting the company to put
in g. metallic system on this line. On
First avenue east and Third alley there
are, e,3essubzcrihersW So who are on the cora-
mon return system and the same con-
d1tions apply there. West Duluth, New
Duluth, Woodland and Lakeside are
also on the same plan, causing much
| complaint. There are Is subscribers on
London road and 20 on D. p &c. at
Sixth avenue west and Second alley
on the common return system.
We believe as the city gets a portion
of the earnings of the Zenith Telephone
company, which is one of the conditions
of the franchise, that it is in the city's
interest to see that the best service is
given in order that the city may secure
larger revenue.
We respectfully request that your
honorable body make a thorough inves-
tlgatiOn OF the above charges.
The matter was brought up at the
last meeting Of the council and was
referred to committee for investiga.
ton. The developments will be watch
| ed with interest. If the company has
violated the terms of it's franchise, il
is within the province Of the council
to either insist upon its enforcement tC
the letter, or to declare that the fran.
chise shall be null and void.

TO INFORCE THELAW.

Harfne Engineers Must Be Citizens
of the United States.
President M. Ryan Of the. Licensed
Tugmens Association, reports a rather
odd experience at Cleveland recently.
According to the United States marine
laws, any person engaged as a marine
engineer must be a citizen OF the Unit
ed States. Down at Cleveland there are
a number Of men who have become
naturalized to secure q job, but have
had their home in Ganada PhAYsare
not really citizens unless their families
live in the United States, and hence Mr..
Ryan insisted on the enforcement of
the law with success. He says that
there are a number Of captains in the
same boat, and it is his Intention to
look after them.
