The office of President of the Trade
and Labor Assembly of Duluth is one
of the most important in the labor
movement in the northwest. The
president must be a careful, earnest
and conscientious man, with full
knowledge of the labor movement. and
the condition Of local unions. He
should be a man fully capable Of de-
Tending organized labor upon any and
all occasions. No one fully ealizes
! how important is this position until
they have served a term at it. At pub
lie meetings and gatherings where a re-
preventative Of organized labor is de-
sired, the president is usually request
ed to be present, therefore, when the
delegates select present Of Trades
and Labor. Assembly they exercise due
care. In selecting George NJ. Davis the
delegates made no mistake They can
find no more sincere and earnest work.
er in the movement. They ask their
president not to take Ia prominent
place in politics because thew do not
like the odor of Duluth politics, and
Mr.. Davis is and has been true there
he was porn IN CdndQd IN 1907, ana
came to the United States 20 years ago.
He has lived in Duluth ten years, and
since then he has been connected with
the Carpenters union. During his life
in the labor movement he has occu-
| pied many official positions. For sew
eral terms he has held the chair OF
| vice president in the Carpenters un-
ion, and also in the Trades Assembly
prior to his election as president. He
! is hartman of the present Labor Day
committee and the success of this la
Dor day is largely due to his untiring
| efforts.
Mr.. Davis has led two important
movements in the city. One of them
was the taking off Of the "U. S. Mair'
| signs on the street cars not engaged in
the carrying of the mail. He carried
the fight to the Post Office Department
at Washington, and got a decision
there compelling the Duluth Street
railway to remove the signs. The
other was the creation of the Public
Library Bureau, which the council just
got through dickering with.
