AT THE LYCEUM.

No play of recent years has 50 much
uproarious fun and such genuine heart
interest as lyon Yonson" in which the
late Gus Hege made both fame and
fortune before his untimely death a
few years ago. 1t has been a. difficult
matter to successfully replace this
great dialect comedian, but Managers
Thall & Kennedy have succeeded
splendidly. They were compelled to 60
to Europe to do it, and they are more
than pleased with their investment and
at the result of their labors. They have
secured Knute Erickson, a handsome
young actor, singer and musician. who
Is considered by all odds to be the most
popular player of dialect roles ever
sent to America. He is versatile and
has enough personal magnetism to
supply a dozen or more Of the actors
who are supposed to have this quality
to a large degree. All the other men,
bers of the company are as well eQuipp-
ed for their various roles. which in
sures to the playgoers of this city
performances of rare smOothness and
enjoyment. Messrs. Thall & Kennedy
are among the theatrical caterers who
believe in giving their patrons plenty

they have added attractions to the

new scenic investiture. lyon. Yonson''

BUSINESS MEN "BEWARE."
More Advertising Fakers in Town
With La abor Graft.


With a Labor Graft.
There are more advertising takers in
town with a labor graft. This time
they have bulletin upon which will
appear the names of every union in
town, their officers and place of meet
ing. This Is purely private enter
prise, gotten up without the sanction
of labor organization. Advertising
is being solicited at exorbitant rates.
No business man should be caught on
this proposition.
Everyone has been sufficiently eau
toned about this before. If labor or
ganizations have anything of this
nature to present, the solicitors will be
fully equipped with proper credentials.
Further the directory to be published
by these grafters is by no means
authentic. They have no means Of get
ting the official roster, except through
the city directory which is a year old.
Many changes have been made in that
time. The only correct roster of the
labor organizations of Duluth is in the
possession of the editor of this paper,
and is not yet published.
Do not confound this matter with the
state directory that is now being is
sued by the State Federation Of Labor,
which has q solicitor in the city who
is armed with proper credentials duly
sealed and signed by the officers of
that body. The profits of this will be
turned over to the Federation. The
surest way to know whether you are
being fleeced or not, is to ask the
solicitor to show his credentials.

O'NEILL AT ASHLAND.

!. .
The conference between the Long
shoremen's unions at the head of lake
Superior and the committees Of the
Lake Carriers association which was
held at the knight hotel Tuesday, did
not result in anything startling in re-
gard to the wages to be paid by the
vesselmen next season. In fact the
meeting was adjourned without any
difinite action being taken until some
time in March. Most of the delegates
who attended the convention returned
to their homes Tuesday evening.
Edward Hines, of the Edward Hines
Lumber company, acted as chairman
of the meeting, and the Longshoremen
were represented by President Jones
and Tim Tracy, Of the Ashland union;
President Gordon O'Neil, of the Duluth
union; two representatives from Wash
burn, and one from Bayfield,.
The vessel owners present at the
meeting were Edward Hines, of Chi
cago; Thomas Madden and Captain
Blodgett, Of Bay City, Michigan; S. J.
Cleveland; w. l.. Martin, of Cheboygan,
Michigan; c. H. Prescott, Jr., of Cleve-
land; Captain Babcock, of Detroit; J.
A. Calbrick, Of Chicago, and others.
Last year a similar meeting was held
at Ashland and was a very quiet affair,
and the meeting today is very quiet.
Discussions on different controversies
which occurred at the upper lake ports
last season were discussed by the diff
ferent sides. but the best good fellow

Of them said to a representative of the
Labor World that $500 per day was
none too little considering the cost of
living in this city. He believes, how
ever, that the contractors will oppose
the demand relative to employing only
union foremen, and stated that they
had SO informed the union by letter.
The contractors also have a grievance
which has been discussed in the union
and by the builders for some time.
They do not believe that it is right for
members of the union to take contracts
and still hold their membership in the
union. The union should consist only
of wage earners. This point will un-
doubtedly receive considerable airing
before the new scale goes into effect.

SCHWAB AND UNIONS.

The commission chosen at the New
York labor conference is charged with
the duty not merely of aiding the peace
full settlement of disputes, but with the
task Of devising a working system by
which corporations and labor unions
can officially and effectively get to-
gether as representatives Of the great
Industrial forces of the community. In
his remarks before the conference Mr..
Schwab said that he was in favor of
labor union if they were organized on
a proper basis 1t is to be hoped, and
the very temperament and spirit of Mr..
schwab justifies the hope, that he will
soon take broader ground than that.
If the very best results are to be ac-
complished, and the opportunities this
time are extraordinary, the "if' must
be taken out and the principle of or
ganization unqualifiedly recognized. Mr..
schwab represents capital. He repre-
sents corporations. Why should he say
when labor unions are organized on a
proper basis? Suppose the labor leaders
should say. 1--WE are in favor of cor
porations if they are organized on a
proper basis" Mr.. Schwab and his
friends would promptly reply: 1T is
not for you to say the basis upon which
corporations should be organized. That.
is our affair. We are responsible for
the success of this organization, not
you. If we have some bad feature in
CORPORATIONS, it is your privilege and
right to criticise it and suggest i'm
provements, but you are not responsible
for the organization of the United
States Steel corporation" Laborers
can say exactly that to Mr.. Schwab.
The mistakes of labor organizations
such as Mr.. Schwab referred to and
the mistakes of corporations such as ne
referred to will be eliminated not by
attacking either corporations or labor
unions, but by bringing the best intel

ST. LOUIS EXPOSITION.
MfnnesOta Should Take an Interest
in Its S2ccess.

Several former residents Of Minne-
sofa are at the state legislature this
week endeavoring to induce the legis-
lators to make sufficient appropria-
ton, 80 that this state will be credit
ably represented at the St. Louis ex-
position 1t is to be hoped that some
thing will be done.
The state was we'll represented at
Chicago, and at Buffalo. How much
more important it is to be represented
at St. Louis. AS the exposition is to
commemorate the centennial Of the
purchase Of the Louisiana territory,
and as Minnesota is one of the twelve
states growing out of that territory,
it should take as much interest in the
exposition as the State of Missouri or
any other state west of the Mississippi
While the northeastern portion of Min
nesota really belonged to the North
West Territory, yet we are so near the
border line as to be interested in the
enterprise.

The old couple took leave of each
other on the sidewalk in front Of the
little home where they had been 30
happy. Tohldorf was brought out on a
stretcher. His wife stopped over him.
"Goodby, JIhan," she said. I'VE will
never meet again"
She leaned down and kissed him. The
helpless man looked up at her, and his
eyes said all that coald be said. Then
he was placed in an ambulance and
driven to the hospital, while she turned
her face toward the poorhouse.
So, after fifty years of deep and ten
der love, Johan Tohldorf and his wife
parted to meet no more until the day
breaks and the shadows all flee away.

LABOR AND PRICES:
Real Estate Man Thinks High Prices
Are Due to Labor.

Real Estate Man Thinks High Prices
Are Due to Labor.
It was at party the other evening.
A few OF the men gathered in the
smoking room. There was only one
labor "agitator'', so-called, in the gath
ering. Some one brought up the ques
ton Of labor organizations. Among
those present was real estate agent.
His opinion on labor organizations ran
something like this: II am opposed to
labor organizations because they want
too much. They keep prices high. 1t
costs so much to live in Duluth be-
cause of the arbitrary demands Of
labor. Look at the price of lumber,
meat, groceries and labor. I tell you
If you want cheaper living In Duluth
break up the labor organizations The
labor agitator looked at the real estate
man several times to see whether or not
he really meant what he said. If he
did, he concluded that he was troubled
with mental billiousness, and had ad-
ministered a disagreeable evacuant.
The lone laborman very calmly came
back at him in the following manner.
"Does labor control the price of lum-
ber. and are there any organizations
Of labor in the sawnills, save the lum-
ber handlers union, which handles ma
terial not used in this city? Does labor
control the price of meat or groceries,
or is it not fixed by an organization
of business men? Who is responsible
for the high rent charged by rental
agencies and landlords in the city, labor
organizations? My FRIEND" continued
the labor advocate, "people who live in
glass houses should not throw stones.
Laboringmen, who earn few dollars
day, are not complaining one-half as
much about high prices, as you fellows,
forever looking for an opportunity to
fleece them, and who really are respon-
sible for exorbitant prices"

LIFE AS LIVED BY THE POOR.

After fifty years of married life John
Tohldorf and his wife bade each other
an eternal farewell yesterday. For
half a century they have lived to-
gether they have laughed over each
others joys.
1t had been the dream of both to be
be laid upon them. But poverty-the
grim stage manager of the poor-willed
it otherwise and now, loving each other
still, each must wait for death in lone
illness.
A year ago Tohldorf was stricken
with paralysis. Since that time he has
been helpless. Each day he grew worse
He is cobbler by trade, and it was i'm
possible for him to do any work. The
little money they had toiled so hard
and long to save went quickly. One
must have. food, and doctors bills are
large
Soon they were penniless. Starva-
tion looked them in the face and the
husband was terribly in need of medi-
cal advice. A neighbor notified the
police, and physician who was called
said the husband must be moved to
the county hospital.
Gently the news was broken to the
old couple. The wife begged pitifully
to be taken with him. When she was
told that it was impossible. both broke
down and cried together. The old wo-
man threw her arms about the man
she loved so we'll, and sobbed that they
should not take him from her. She is
68, two years younger than her hus-
band. So it was necessary to send her
to Drumming.

THAT FREE BUREAU
COMMISSIONERS WANT FREE LABOR
BUREAU ON BOWERY.
1t IL the Only Advantageous Location
for It-Remarkable Showing Con-
eiderinH the Poor Location in
Which 1t Is Situated-Many People
Given Employment-Certai to Do
Better Near the Labor Center.

When the Municipal Labor Bureau
was started, the labor organizations
desired that 1t be located near the
Union Depot, where the private
bureaus hold sway. This was opposed
by the private agencies, and so as a
compromise it was put in the Armory
building. This has by no means pre-
vented the bureau from demonstrating
its usefulness. So many people have
wrongly endeavored to compare the
free bureau with poor house, for the
purpose Of discouraging it. In spite Of
this it u here to stay, as time has told.
Now the commissioners have decided
that the Armory is not the proper place
for a bureau, that 1T is impractical and
detrimental.
The Bowery is the labor center Of
Duluth and Duluth is the labor center
of the Northwest. The labor commits
sioners say that with the city bureau
located seven or eight blocks away
from the BoWery they are hiding their
light under a bushel.
In fifteen weeks the free bureau has
furnished positions at the rate of thir-
ty-three a week or about 500 altogether.
1t is claimed that the bureau could do
three or four times this business if
located on the Bowery or nearer the
Union depot.
The servant girl department Of the
free bureau has been fairly successful.
Positions have been found for eighty
one girls during the fifteen weeks of
operation. Many of these girls We're
brought in from the country towns and
villages as applications were made for
them by Duluth housekeepers.
Speaking of the needs of the bureau,
Commissioner Dworschak says: "Our
commission held a meeting the other
evening and we have virtually decided
to make efforts to get nearer the cen
ter Of labor. The Armory is an out of
the way location for such business and
even the inducements of free employ
ment cannot overcome the handicap.
I'VE do not know for certain that
we can get more central location or
that the city council will agree to our
proposed change. but in the opinion of
the commission the change would mean
great success to the venture.
.s,z444z... 44z...lurinzsxthe, fifteen weeks that. the
bureau has been doing business in the
Armory it has been more of d success
than we anticipated, as It VS., appar-
ent from the start that the scheme
could never be an entire success so
far away from the other employment
offices of the city.
II do not suppose that two-thirds of
the men in Duluth seeking work know
that there is such thing as free en-
ployment bureau. AS rule the woods
men and others are not likely to stum-
BILE across our free bureau in it's pres
ent location unless they get consid-
erably off the beaten trail.''

BUILDING TRADES.
No More Working Carals-OOuncil
Adopts Button.

Hereafter every member Of the Build
ing trades council Of this city will
wear a button, which, will be changed
quarterly. This button will take the
place of the old working card, and must
be worn when at work. This will save
the business agent the trouble of ask
ing every man to show his card. This
was decided at a meeting of the coun-
Gil held last Monday evening. While
it is purely an experiment, there are
many who believe that it is sure to
prove a grand success. 1t is an un-
pleasant thing to ask every man COM
ing onto a job to show his card. and
the button will do away with this. The
council will hereafter meet at the En-
gineers' hall in the Hunter block every

In the United States senate last week,
resolution was adopted calling for the
election of senators by direct vote OF
the people. The matter is now before
the house, awaiting a setting of time
when they may be considered. This
is not the first time that resolutions
of this character have been acted upon
by the senate. While they frequently
pass that branch Of congress they are
usually referred to the waste basket of
the house. A petition is being circula-
ted among the voters Of Duluth urging
Congressman Morris to support the res
olutions, and another requesting Speak
er Henderson to set date for their con-
sideration.
A large majority of the voters of Am
erica are in favor of electing sena tors
by direct vote of the people. There
never has been an organized movement
to secure this needed reform, but never
theless there is a sentiment in favor
of it.
There are many who believe that
when this nation was formed it had
reached the highest state of perfection
as a republic. No improvement could
be made on the work of our patriotic
forefathers. Yet they should not for
get that the Constitution Of our nation
was a compromise. In the convention
that framed it, were men Of many
minds. Some still believed in mon
archal form of government, others such
as Jefferson and Franklin advocated
a pure and broad democracy.
So it was with considerable difficulty
h0f nd nf it,r%i
agreed to. After lis years Of trial we
ought to be able to go a step farther
then our compromising forefathers.
There are number of good reasons
why senators should be elected directly
by the people. If they were, there
would be fewer millionaires there than
now. Men would be chosen who are
nearer to the people.
Take the power Of electing them from
the legislature, and there is an oppor-
tunity to elect better men to the legis-
lature. In a year when senator is to
be elected, good men are often sacri-
ficed simply because the other fellows
will vote right for United States SEN
ator.
The election of United States sem
tos al,
to necessary legislation for the relief
Of the people. Corporations looking for
special privileges have frequently been
able to elect their tools with the United
States senatorship as a shield to carry
them through. We do not have to go
out Of this county to find this out
II those who are interested in elect
ing senators by popular vote will but
write to their congressman about the
matter, they will have contributed their
mite to the matter.
