TUGMEN'S STRIKE.
Wilson Appears to Be Recovering
from Effect of Shot.

Wilson Appears to Be Recovering
from Effect of Shot.
There were no new developments in
the Tugmen's strike this week. The ex-
position in last weeks paper seemed
to have the desired effect. The nom
union men are not so flush with their
weapons as they have been.
Engineer George Wilson seems to be
recovering from the wound received
from the bullet of the trust tug Captain
Taylor.
The Independent Towing line is being
incorporated. Many of the boys are
taking stock in the company. A set
tlement with the trust is not expected
this year. When the stockholders meet
this winter and when they begin to in
quire about last years profits a change
is expected. Wheg the season opens
next year it is safe to say that the trust
boats will be manned by union men
throughout. What will become Of the
non union men? The trust will have
no use for them. Corporations admire
men of honor. The experience of the
past teaches that it never pays to take
job during a strike. A man who is
false to his fellows will be false to his
employers Employers desire men who
but by the men as we'll. Non-union men
may be all right to carry a concern
through a storm, but in the long run it
| is the true men who give the best SER
| vice.

Boom Men Are Striking for Shorter
Hours.

Boom Men Are Striking for Shorter
Hours.
A strike at the St. Croix boom is on.
This is renewal of the old conten-
tion for a shorter day than eleven hours.
At meeting of the mill and river
mems union Monday it was decided to
force the issue at the boom. A commit
tee was appointed which waited on
William Sauntry Tuesday morning and
made a demand for a ten hour day at
increased wages. The committee stated
that the men would not go to work until
Z o'clock Wednesday morning.
Mr.. Sauntry replied that the boom
would commence work at s o'clock as
usual and no one need come later: He
also declined to grant an increase in
wages. The union claims all but four
of the men at the boom. Mr.. Sauntry
says the company has 100 non-union
men and can get more. He told the
committee that the company is losing
money at present wages and will shut
down rather than make concessions,
but that he had no doubt work could
be kept going at the old scale.
There is talk of a sympathetic strike

BARRIERS PICKET
Are With John Green, Until He
Closes Early.


The BARRIERS union has established
pickets in front of Green's barber shop.
He refuses to obey the general rules of
the trade in this community. If he
does not close up at o'clock the other
shops have treatened to keep open also.
With the BARRIERS union it is a matter
self preservation. They dislike to push
a boycott, but it sometimes becomes
necessary. Mr.. Green has frequently
referred to his dislike for organized Ia
Dor. This has deepened into enmity,
and yet the BARRIERS will be his friends
the minute that he agrees to the rules
Of the trade. Mr.. Green holds a state
job. It is said that he is not very much
stuck on the job, and would resign
rather than be dictated to in what he
calls his private business. Political
pressure is, however, being brought to
bear upon him. A certain Duluth sena-
tor wrote Governor Van SAINT of Mr..
Green's opposition to organized labor.
The governor it is said, could not Wit:
for correspondence, and imne1iataly
called up our senatorial friend to find
out who Green was. He said that he
was in favor of early closing, and
would send Chief Game Warden Fuller
ton to the scene as soon as possible.
Fullerton arrived Wednesday evening,
and he is using his influence to settle
the matter. 1t will be good stroke of
politics, and the BARRIERS were indeed
wise to use it.

Game Warden Fullerton Meet Com
mittee of BARRIERS.

A delegation composed Of seven jour
neymen BARRIERS, three boss BARRIERS,
Secretary Richardson of the Trades
Assembly, and w. E. McEwen, met
Chief Game Warden Fullerton at the
St. Louis by appointment Thursday af-
ternoon and discussed at length the con-
troversy with John Green. The jour-
neymen gave their version of the ques@
tion and the bosses testified that their
receipts had been no less since they
adopted the early closing movement.
Mr.. Richardson also expressed himself,
after which Mr.. Fullerton asked the
union to not place any pickets in front
of Mr.. Green's barber shop until 7:15
this evening. The union very promptly
informed Mr.. Fullerton that they would
withhold their pickets for the three en-
tire evenings if it would do any good.
It is likely that the whole affair will be
settled without further difficulty.

feasible to adopt the eight-hour day?
Or will it's disadvantages be so great
as to make it more of detriment than
a blessing to society? Now is the time
to have this question thoroughly dis
cussed.
Shall men be permitted and encour-
aged to turn out all the work that they
can while on duty, or shall the least
efficient or the worker set the
pace for all?
Shall business be regarded as
species of war in Wich the stronger
shall be alloweu to crush the weaker
and reap the spnils, or shall business
be regarded as anew kind of partner
ship between business undertakers and
workmen, in wich each shall earn in
proportion to what he contributes? In
which the workman shall take as per-
sonal pride and have as strong an in
terest in the business as the one who
takes the risks, furnishes the organiz-
ing brains and the capital?
Another important problem which
needs consideration is the question of
making the home life of the American
workman more comfortable, more
pleasant and contented. What is be-
ing done by the most progressive en-
ployers who aid their employees in this
direction? Do the results warrant the

with us. We want to know what new
legislation the other states have rec
emily enacted and how it is working.
We want to know what more can be
accomplished through new laws.
But we come to the crux of the whole
labor problem when we take up the
matter Of strikes and lockouts and the
! means of avoiding them or Of settling
them when they have once arisen. The
cost Of strikes and lockouts each year
is something enormous
This is the 2rice we pay for the sett-
lement of the disputed claims of the
two partners, labor and capital, to say
nothing of the feeling of bitterness on
arouse. Is it not time to adopt a more
economical and business-like plan OF
adjusting such disputes?
The first step in that direction is to
! get together and talk the matter over
Let each side present it's grievances
and it's claims from it's own point of
! view and than look at the matter when
| it is presented by the other side. In
| this way the thousands of delegates
| from various places, and representing
| various interests all over the country,
will have chance to look at the situa-
ton from different standpoints. Err
rors of information and Judgment will
be corrected, views and sympathies
| will be broadened. The attention of
| the entire nation will be directed to
| our industrial problems in a striking
! manner. When once the problem is
stated in specific terms and the people
get to thinking about it everywhere,
the right solution is bound to be found
| sooner or later.
| Let all those interested get together
| in Minneapolis next September and
| talk the situation over.

But the people Of the northwest are

The question is now fairly before the

ACME LAUNDRY,

Rumor has it that some one has or
ganized the employees of the Acme laun-
dry. We have not been able to ascer-
tain who it is that has taken this
authority upon himself. Possibly 1t is
only rumor. In view of Mr.. Arm
stead's candidacy for sheriff and his
late trouble with organized labor it is
doubtful whether organized labor will
accept the unionizing of his laundry in
good faith. While we will be glad to
welcome Mr.. Armstead in the ranks of
union employers; we would desire to
see some better expression than his can-
didacy for 4 political office.

Politics are beginning to Warm up
some. Even the Democrats are getting
enthusiastic, and have strong hopes for
success There are so many Republi-
cans who are afflicted with the office
itch, that a fatal mistake is liable to
be made. Heretofore it has been the
habit of the Republican party to give
at least two offices to the Scandinav-
ians. The political leaders in this ele-
ment of our citizenship have made con-
siderable use of this habit in the past,
until now the average Scandinavian
American expects it. Will the Repqb-
licans forget the Swedish element in
the primary election? This remains to
be seen. Present indica tions are that
they will be given the goodbye. This
Is causing considerable worry among
the leaders of the party. The Demo
Gratis, however will give recognition to
this strong factor in our politics. They
have the votes and in return are en-
titled to some of the offices. With good
political management the Democrats
may yet land few plums in the COM
ing contest. It does not look so merry
in the Republican camp as they would
like the people to believe. Their pres
ent internal strife will surely have some
effect at the polls.
