OFFICERS FOR YEAR.

The cigarmakers held their semi-an-
nual election Of officers on Wednesday
evening. There was the largest at
tendance in the history of the union.
The union now has membership of
40. A few years ago when the labor
delegates from Duluth were attending
a convention at Minneapolis, they were
loud in their boasts of this city being
the best union labor. city in the north
west, when Minneapolis cigarmaker
arose and asked If Duluth was such a
good union city how was it that there
were only % cigarnakers employed
there. we would like to have that
man come to Duluth now. The Duluth
union has more members than Min

CHRISTMAS DECORATIONS.

Year after year Christmas comes ana
goes, its joys and merrymaking LOSING
no whit OF interest and sentiment for
young or old, and, while always new
each season in their giving of pleasure,
the same old customs continue to pre-
vail with alterations in detail onlv.
The day would hardly seem like
Christmas without the hanging Of
Christmas green's, and though a great
er variety is offered in the way of dee-
orations than formerly, those are stn1
most liked and used that bear out the
old practices and significance, and chief
among them are the mistletoe and hol-
ly. whose very names carry one back
to the days of ancient English cheer
and Yuletide, with wassail bowl, Yule
log and joyous merrymaking.
The most favored mistletoe comes
from across seas, but some is sent from
Canada and the south where, particu-
larly in Texas, it grows in large clumps
on the live oak trees, always to the
latter's gradual destruction, for. being
a parasite, it saps the oaks lifeblood.

not so artistic in appearance as its

in all other quarters cluster of the

be suspended in the doorway or from

ING NEW MEMBER.
s'ierson's Resignation Is Expected
Sam Kelley Of the Carpenters' I'm
ion IL Suxgested by Some. Union
Labor Feels That 1t In Entitled ia
the Office. No Salary in office.

On account of the removal from the
city of Mr.. Pierson, organized labor's
representative or the school board, and
the fact that his resignation will be ex-
pected at almost any time members
of union labor are discussing the prob
ability Of inducing the school board
to elect another member of organized
labor as Mr.. Persons successor. Those
who discuss the matter feel cel.au,
that the school board will be fair to-
wards organized labor. The only ques-
who will be chosen.
While the Trades Assembly has not
acted on the matter there is a general
talk among the delegates about candi-
dates. A large number of carpenters
want to see Sam Kelley chosen. Mr.
Kelley has been a resident of Duluth
for many years. He is an old soldier.
and the head Of large family, all OF
whom were educated in the Duluth
schools. He is regarded as a fair and
able man, and fully capable Of acting
as member of the board.
Other men are also mentioned. Vic
tor Johnson of the Clerks union woulc
make most popular member. Captain
Ben Howard Of the l.. =. P. A. has a
wide experience and would be, perfect
ly acceptable. James Walsh, the presi-
dent Of the tugmen, James Bishop OF
the Marine Engineers, or Armor Har-
vey of the same organization could fill
the bill to the satisfaction Of all citi-
zens.
1t Is said that the members Of the
board feel like choosing West Du-
luth man. If this Is true organized
labor has plenty Of timber out there.
Brother Skinner of the Carpenters un-
ion would see that justice was done.
and Harry tanners of the Musicians
would lend dignity to the office. Jo1
Brotherton Of the Longshoremen would
be favorite among his men. There are
lot of others to choose from, any of
whom would be recognition u or

STRIKE
At SUPERIOR

Three hundred men laid down their
tools and walked out OF the Superior
ship yards on "wednesday. All work
at the yards. ID practically suspended,
and as no agreement could be reached
with Manager Williams, 1t is expected
that nothing will be done until Mr..
Wolvin, who is out Of the city, returns.
The trouble! arises from the orders
issued by the management that only
half an hour will be allowed at the
noon period, which went into effect
Tuesday, One hundred men went out
Tuesday and the remaining 200 follow
ed Wednesday morning. The men de-
mand a resumption of the one hour
noon perior.
"Wednesday morning a commit Fee
consisting Of r. McMlrtie, Thomas
Tonstad, w. Halldroft, Charles Hol-
comb and John Bemrick waited upon
Superintendent Williams and laid the
position of the men before him, de-
handing one hour noon period.
In a statement, w. Holdroft, member
Of the committee, said: 1.-The commit
tee spent an hour and fifteen minutes
with superintendent Williams in his
offices, but he would make no conces-
sions. He de landed that the men re-
turn to work nd submit to the one
half hour noon perior. We offered to
compromise upon As minues, but Mr..
Williams would not consider the prop
osition.
"The committee adjourned to the Ar
thur hotel, where a general meeting
Of the men was held and it was de-
termined to submit the difficulty to
Mr.. Wolvin. He will not return from
Chicago for several days.
I'VE were all surprised that Mr., Will
liams would not meet US half way and
compromise on As minutes. The men
desire to be reasonable in reference 10
this difference. They contend that it

Never the self-same path for two
In the woods of Day and Morrow!
Each hews for himself through the under

IT'S craven heart will borrow
The axe of another to clear his way.
And that generous one delay.
Who shall say that his path is best
Among all the ways diverging?
Perhaps beyond the horizon, all
To one great goal are merging.
Enough if he does his allotted part,
With the strength of fearless heart.
Many will meet at various turns,
With a glance and word of greeting;
There is a wealth of cheer in strong
hand clasp
Though the comradery be feeting;
For there are times when the sturdiest
need
Another to say God speed!'
Paths there be that run side by side,
With only q span dividing,
Yet never the same, though their heart
beats chime,
And love walks between them guiding.
A gap yawns here and a rock looms there,
No matter how close the pair.
And those are blest who from path to
path
May pass handful of roses,
Stanch wounds in the weary feet they
love,
Or guard, as the daylight closes.
