y Federation vvith British Doc1k-
workers q Probability.

The International ,Longshoremen's
association has knocked autonomy"
into a cooked hat and is issuing chart
ers to all marine and transport workers,
including lumber leaders, unloaders
and pliers; mill men and all employed
in lumber yards: coal shovelers, TRIM
mers, leaders and unloaders; ore shov-
elers, trimmers, leaders and unloaders:
lime stone leaders and unloaders:
marine package freight handlers, load
ers and unloaders; railway and ware
house package freight handlers; load
scoopers and trimmers; grain elevator
employees; dock and marine engineers;
stationary dock holsters, machine re-
patrmen and firemen; car bumpers,
pinchers and wall builders; marine fire.
men, oilers and water-tenders; marine
divers. helpers, tenders and steam
pump operators: lumber inspectors and
scalers; top dockmen; cotton and to-
bacco screwmen; general cargo dock
laborers; in fact all workers engaged in
these various occupations on this hemi-
sphere are to be brought into one Or
ganization.
President Keefe, Of the Longshore-
mems association, did double stroke
Of business while in England as dele
gate to the British Trades congress.
He has interested the Dockworkers'
organization Of England in the ANAL
gamation or federation of all the or
ganizations Of dockworkels in the
world. The British organization has
sent Ben -Tillette, one Of their most
active workers, to this country to meet
the executive officers of the Interna-
tional Longshoremen's association for
the purpose Of discussing plans Of fed
Grafton. This is the second step in
augurated tending to bring about a.
general federation Of the workers Of
the world. The American Federation
Of Labor and the British Trades Coun-
Gil exchange fraternal delegates, but it
is expected that the federation of the
dockworkers will be more effective.
There will possibly be common un-
derstanding between the workers Of the
two nations. and when boat is loaded
in America with non-union longshore-
men, redress can be had when it arrives
on the other side, and vice versa. .1.

Political fur has been flying this
week. Republican hopes have been
shattered. Mayor Hugo will not be a
candidate for reelection. He is author
ity for the statement himself. He
gives as his reason, that he has no
desire for second term as mayor. He
says that he is losing ground at his
trade, and can not afford that.
Now there is no end of political Ros-
sip. Captain Stevens and Captain
Lewis seem to have everything their
own way, unless something unforeseen
happens. Captain Stevens has the ad-
vantage, in so much as he has an or
ganization with him. There is strong
talk on the street of a dark horse.
The circle who picks candidates for
office are looking about for a person
who can quiet the temperance element
and at the same time command the
support Of the saloon men.
Former Mayor Truelsen created a
little stir this week in the announce
ment of his opposition to Alderman
Krumsfeg for reelection as alderman,
Many Of Mr.. Truelsen's friends de-
plore this, as they have kindly feel
ing for Mr.. Krumsieg. The question
with them is, can Mr.. Truelsen get the
and at the same time stir
up a fight in his own party?
So far as we are concerned we are
anxious to see Mr.. Krumsieg retain his
seat in the council. We have a special
reason for this. He has made no pre-
tense about being a friend to labor, but
he has been an uncompromising SUD-
porter of labor measures, during his
aldermanfc career, and we would in
deed be ungrateful If we did not SUD-
port him now.
Mr.. Crassweller Is gradually lining up
his forces. His friends are quietly
working with good success. Many re.
publicans have assured him of their
support If he is nominated. DR.. Muir
ray is still working, although it is
cruelty hinted that he will pull out
of the race upon the assurance that he
be taken care Of in lieu Of the success
Of the Democratic party at the polls.
. There has been more talk Of an in
dependent ticket this week than ever
before. The anti-saloon element are
thoroughly organized, and it is said
that If Hugo and Truelsen were the
party nominees another ticket would
be put in the field headed by some
person who would not only enforce the
liquor law, but who stood all right on
municipal questions. =: r.
1t is possible that their plans will
be somewhat changed now, on account
of the withdrawal Of Mayor Hugo from
the contest. ~. -. ..2gE, p. .s~ s f.. =.

LOTT And MoIRSCn
REPRESENTATIVE OF STATE
LABOR BUREAU VISIT DULUTH.
Highly Elated Over Success Of the
Bureau During the Present Ad.

ice ouestion-It IL . New ana
Conmendable Departure for State.

E. B. Lott, deputy commissioner OF
labor, and julius Moersch. factory in
spector, Of st. Paul. arrived In the city
Sunday on business. They were callers
at the Labor World office and appeared
quite happy over the work Of the bu-
reau under the present administration.
Mr.. Lott was formerly chairman Of the
State Federation of Labor Council. He
still takes an active interest in labor
matters, and puts in a good word where
ever he works. The bureau, Mr.. Lott
says, Is departing into new work this
year that will bring it many friends
The bureau will make a special in
vestigation Of the domestic service sit
uation in the state. So far as known,
no state labor bureau has ever at
tempted an investigation along this
line. Commissioner O'Donnell proposes
to send out blanks to both employers
and servants, containing set Of ques-
tions designed to bring out the expert
ence of both sides, with statistics Of
the wages, length of service, hours Of
work, time off, and other facts of in
terest in this connection. Commenting
on the new move on the part of the
department, Mr.. Lott said:
"The domestic servant question may
seem of little Importance to most per-
sons, but nearly all the women's clubs
in the state have discussed the ques-
ton in some form, but there is doleful
lack Of definite information.
1.-THE number of domestic servants in
the state is large, and the investigation
should furnish some interesting and
valuable information.
II think both employers and servants
will cooperate with this department in
securing data, and will answer the
questions contained on the blanks"
While in Duluth the state labor OFF,
cials were shown about by Chief Fac
tory Inspector Allen. They left Monday
afternoon for home. H-.:

Alderman Cromwell will encounter
some opposition In his own party this
year. Although he has stood ..pat'' on
the enforcement Of the liquor laws. he
has very little to recommend him on
municipal questions. He Is known as
the foremost opponent Of municipal
ownership in the council and hence he

There is no necessity to worry about
how labor and capital can be reconcil-
ed, for they are one and the same.
How the laborers and the capitalists
can be reconciled, 10 entirely within
the scope of proper inquiry. and to
which the attention Of both and Of all
students Of economics and devotees to
the social welfare may well give their
best thought and attention. And it
may lead to the conclusion that despite 1
the clamor which we hear, and the con-
f1icts which occasionally occur, that
there is a constant trend toward agree
ment between the laborers and capital
lists, employed and employer. for the
uninterrupted production and distribu-
tion Of wealth, and, too, with ethical
consideration for the common interests
of all the people. =.
No body Of men deplores strikes more
than do the organized workers. and one
Of their chief aims is to endeavor to re-
duce the number, If not to entirely OBJ
literate strikes; but thinking that men
have no sympathy with the unqualified
condemnation with which the dilet-
tante in society, the professoriate, the
open and covert enemies of the work.
ers, denounce them.
A strike or lockout is a sagreement
between the buyer and seller Of labor
power in order to arrive at what each
or both may determine to be more
rational and equitable condition upon
which production and distribution shall
proceed. There has never yet been full
harmony between the buyers and SELL
ers of anything in this world. When
a strike or lockout occurs, wages and
production are not destroyed; they are
deferred.
Since the era Of modern industry,
there have always been periods or reas-
ons of great activity In industry, fol-
lowed by periods or seasons Of stagna-
tion and idleness.
Strikes simply defer the production
from one season to another.
Production in the aggregate of an en-
tire year has never yet been diminished
by strike. ~ ::
