As a nation we are becoming more
and more dependent upon unsettled
and undeveloped countries like Asia,
Africa and South America for raw ma
terials, and are rapidly invading the
worlds markets with the products Of
our industries, observes a writer in
the Chicago Record. During the last
ten years there has been a remarkable
change in our foreign trade; first, be.
cause we have commenced to supply
our own wants and are importing less
and less from the manufacturing ma.

we are sending to foreign countries

The Amalgamated Sheet Metal Work
ers' Union Of Duluth called out it's
members on Wednesday. The strike
involves every shop in town in which
timers are employed, The scale pre-
scented to the employers calls for the
nine hour at :$2.75 per day, and the
recognition Of the union. It is expected
that the union will succeed in all the
shops. There may be some difficulty
experienced in inducing the Marshall
Wells Hardware Company to agree to
the scale, but the union Is hopeful It
is a well known fact that that firm has
little love for organized labor. and have
SO far refused to deal with any trade
union. Yet this feeling ought not to
interfere with settlement OF the tins
ners case. The timers are the least
paid of any Of the building trades un-
ions, and they work more hours than
any Of them. Their immediate brothers
the plumbers receive 81 for eight hours
work. the carpenters $3.50 fol. eight
hours, the stone masons 1925 for eight
hours. and the bricklayers s. for eight
hours SO 1t will be seen that the tins
