Nonsense. The women's clubs of the
South are purely social me women
meet each other at the club in the most
intimate social relationship, and the idea
,bat negro women could be admitted INTO
such clubs without involving the social

AFEW MORE DECISIONS.

Two more important labor laws nave
been declared unconstitutional.
The Indiana Supreme Court has just
held that the law against company
stores is null and void because it in
vades the rights of the coal operators
to engage in business.
A Baltimore court holds that the So
called sweatshOp law, to prevent gar
ments being made in dwellings, is un-
constitutional because it 'impairs the
right to the free and profitable use OF
property, whether occupied by the ten
ant or owner, thereby reducing the
value. and inteferes with the right to
pursue any lawful occupation, not in
furious to others, in ones own home.
Thus the coal barons Of Indiana can
continue to fleece the miners by COM
polling them to trade at their "pluck-
me" stores, and the Baltimore capital
lists can go on turning the homes of the
poor into sweating dens.
These laws cost the unionists pretty
peny, and now all their efforts and sac
rifices were in vain.
Not until labor elects its own people
enacts it's own laws and enforces them
can it expect to secure anything like
justice.

THE wealth Of the country has in
creased enormously, but it is becoming
concentrated in the hands of compare
lively few individuals. Only in the days
of the early Empire and late Republic
of Rome, was it possible for indiV1u-
uals to amass in a few years such enor-
nous fortunes as they do in this coun
try today. Having exploited the wealth
Of the great middle class, we are now
drifting into the second stage. It may
be progress, but it is progress over il
prccipice.
Small investments no longer pay.
The small manufacturer is no longer
prosperous. AS the result there is not
an Eastern or Western state that has
not a. score Of stranded villages, once
prosperous in small industries.
THE small farmer is no longer able
to earn living in competition with the
man who does farming by telegra ph,
and whose huge farms Of $4,000 or even
$4,000 acres produce annual dividends
to stockholders

ening and it Is a good sign. Hardly a

tor does not send out a warning note.

LOCAL MARINE NEWS.

James Walsh, the president Of the
local lodge of licensed tugmen, is one
of the most popular men in marine cir
cles, and his many friett}1s were pleased
to learn Of his re- ELECTION to the presi-
dency last Thursday evening.
The delegates to the grand lodge OF
the L. T. P. A. will be- James Walsh
and Captain Ben Howard. An effort
should be made to get the next grand
lodge to meet in Duluth.
BY the way, the first organization OF
the L. T. P. A. was formed In vu-
luth and it was Duluth who furnished
the first money to further the work
of organization along the lakes.
The Marine Engineers rooms in the
Hunter block have again assumed their
winter appearance. AS the engineers
tie up their boats they report at head
quarters and deposit their pound of to-
bacco in the collection box.
Armor Harvey, the treasurer of the

guilty member to escape. When they
report at headquarters, he strikes them

Next Friday evening the Trades As
sembly will elect officers for the term.
Henry Dworschak, the present exece-
tive, it is said, has no desire TO hold
the office another term. There is a
desire on the part of many delegates
to promote Henry Perrault, the present
vice president to the presidency. 9th
ers, however, feel different and there
is likely to be a lively fight on. Mr..
Perrault is cigarmaker and is presi-
dent of his local union. He has taken
an active interest in labor matters ever
since he came to the city. His polished
manner and dignified appearance will
surely be of service to him in his ad-
ministration of the affairs of the
Trades Assembly. Walter Johnson is
being urged to run for vice president.
Walter is perhaps the oldest delegate
in the Trades Assembly in point Of SER
vice, with perhaps one exception. He
never has any desire to hold office and
for this reason his friends would like
to put him in line for the presidency.
]. w. Richardson has made a very
efficient recording secretary, and will
no doubt be elected without opposition.
The same may be said Of Victor john

of gift from each guest to the host

evenings gift is of small worth, but
the value of the offering increases with
every succeeding evening. That there
may be nothing unfair in the distribu-
ton, the recipient of the first evenings
offering one year becomes the last the
following year. After the presentation
there are dancing and supper. At mid
night the candles are extinguished.

Assembly Notes.

A committee is revising the consti-
tuition of the Trades Assembly. The
old time worn document under which
the Assembly has acted for years. hns
become ancient. and some of the del
egates with new ideas want it mater
tally changed. 1t is said that one of the
changes will be in regard to the basis
of representation. The larger unions
now complain that they are not treated
right when small union has as many
votes as larger union.
The present representation to the
assembly is three delegates from each
union. The plan is something similar
to the United States Senate.
Some of the delegates now want the
representation to be based on the MEN,
bership Of the union. They want to
make the assembly truly representa-
tive body, just as the lower house at
Washington is. A little past history
should be rooted up at this time. Dele
gates ought not to forget the rock upon
which the movement split some years
ago. The little unions may have more
delegates than they should have, but
thew are powerfully tenacious, and can
cause lots of trouble.
Ole Larson has not been heard from
for some time. Information as to his
whereabouts will relieve the apprehen-
sion among the delegates. A meeting
of the assembly is not what it should
be with Ole missing.
The organization committee of the
Trades Assembly is still looking about
for new unions to organize.

The Licensed Tugmen's Protective
association of Duluth is now down to
business again in earnest. During the
season of navigation the association
holds but few meetings as most of the
members of the association are on
duty. During the winter months, how
ever, there is plenty of time for all
of them to attend meetings at any
time. The association has rented quar-
ters in the Manhattan building which
they have fitted out IN good style
Meetings will be held there every
Thursday evening hereafter. In these
quarters there will be all kinds Of read
ing matter and games to please the
members of every kind Of mind.
The association held it annual
meeting last Thursday evening at
which the following officers were elect
ed: President, James Walsh; vice
president. William Pringle; second vice
president, Tony Pessett; secretary
treasurer, James H. Bishop; financial
secretary, R. P. Barrows; delegates to
the grand lodge convention, James
Walsh and B. F. Howard; trustees
Armor Harvey, Arthur Green, Dan
Ackley and Charles Green. The install
lation took place last evening, ate;
which smoker was held. There never
was a time in the history of marine
labor circles when marine men were so
we'll organized as they are today.
If licensed men were asked to join
an organization of labor three years
ago in which was involved the trade
union plan Of organization, they would
have given one cold reception. They
claimed that their licenses interfered
with such a plan.
The organization Of the tug COM
panies into trust changed many =
mind, and it vas not long before
marine labor followed suit. The pres
ent organization of tugmen represents
the crystallized effort along this lin.
Since the l.. r. P. A. was organized
it has successfully fought two dis
putes and today it stands as the rec
ognized organization of all licensed
tugmen along the chain Of lakes.
