F. A. PATRICK. COMPANY.

Duluth has one Of the few exclusives
~ dry goods houses Of the northwest,
whose trade is extensive and whose
representatives visit every town Of linz
portance in territory tributary to the
city, and go hundreds of miles beyond
on the lines of the transcontinentaI
roads to the Pacific. y: - :
Dating mack to the early DAYS. this
branch of trade has expanded as tho
country has grown from an unsettled
wilderness to the most prosperous secs
ton OF the United States. Jobbing be-
gan in the days when the only depart-
ment store was in the country mer.
chants general store. Naturally. dry
goods were combined at, first. with
groceries and other. food supplies, but
1t was quick to separate itself and be-
come a distinct branch. <!
The F. A. Patrick E. Co. were ou;cld
to realize that there was a splendid
field in this city for a wholesale dry;
goods house. This firm has ample.
capitalization and that coupled with a
wide experience gives it! promise for,
a bright future. Mr.. F.. "A; Patrick.
who was manager Of the Stone Ordean.
Welis company for years, and whosa
ability and Judgment in business mat.
tiers is accepted, as authority in this.
community, is at the, head of the firm.
This fact alone speaks for the success
Of the establishment. The house oc:-
cupies the building known as Ill to lis
South Fifth avenue West. where they
receive and ship by:rail or water, large
quantities Of dry goods. to every point j
in the west and Canada.
=. During the, past year; the firm has
experienced a most wonderful growth
in trade. In fact their progress has !
been such as to compel them to build !

available to the employer of a small
number of men as we'll as to the en-
ployer of thousands, and to the work
ingman outside of organizations as we'll
as the great and powerful trade unions.
Wherever principle is involved this
court should stand ready to exert its
influence for the right and the best
interest of those affected. It's offices
should not be thrust upon any one, but
should be ready ITO respond to any
call.
The widespread interest aroused, the
practically universal commentator of
newspapers, trade journals and maya
zines, and the individual expressions
which have come to me and other men,
bers of the committee argue we'll for
the complete fulf1llment Of the promise
and the success of the movement.

The nineteenth century, which has
just been gathered by the scythe OF
time, saw wonderful transitions in
every line Of human effort, and he
would be bold indeed who would pro-
phesy that there will not be still greater
changes in the twentieth century, now
in it's infancy.
We seem to be on the eve Of better
understanding of the relations that
On every hand the close student Of
events yill find evidences to justify the
thought.
Force, the primitive arbiter, is giving
place to g. broader and more intelligent
court. Public opinion discountenances
trial by compat'' in the administration
Of justice. 1t has long ago been buried
with the code Of which it was part.
In the field of industry, strange to
say, that absolute practice still obtains.
But employers and workmen are alive
to it's folly and injustice and awaite
but the proper means to. discard it
forever. At the beginning of the twen-
tieth century we stand expectant.
I am an enthusiastic supporter of the
principle Of Cancellation in industrial
disputes. In my capacity as President
of the Iron Molders' union, have had
ample opportunity to gauge it's advan-
tages. Readers Of these pages have
been told before the experience which
this organization had with the Stove
Founders National Defense Associa-
tion-a militant combination Of the
stove manufacturers Of the United
States.
Since 1891 there has been no dispute
between the members Of this associa-
ton and the union which has not yield
ed to the good offices of a committee
of Cancellation composed of an equal
number Of, representatives of both Or
ganizations.
NV faith in Cancellation is deeply
rooted and justified by my personal ex-

Capital and labor are always close to-
gether, but each has been ready to fly
in an opposite direction.
The free discussion of the standing
of each will of itself develop conser-
vatism. A stand based upon untenable
claims will suffer. Hence positions TAX
en- by both sides will be carefully con-
sidered before presentation.
On the LABOR side in the past there
has been often feeling Of desperation
or intemperance on account of the fact
that it was known that any requests
would meet with rebuff.
On the employers side it was often
felt that concession which went as far
as the particular state Of the industry
could possibly afford would be fouted.
Labor is potential capital; capital is
realized labor.

Extensive Manufacturers as Well as
JObbers and Importers.
The great grocery house of Duluth
whose growth is an important part of
the commercial development Of the
city is the Stone, Ordean-Wells COM
pany. This house is extensive manu-
facturers, as we'll as jobbers and i'm
porters, the firm having within the
past year made a heavy investment in
this branch of the trade. They roast,
grind their own coffee and spices, pack
their own teas, make their own extracts
and phosphates, bottle pickles, table
sauces and salad dressings; put up
preserves can vegetables, refine syrups,
make jellies, cure citrons, lemon and
orange peels, bake crackers, cure and
pack fish. etc.
This house was established many
years ago and is one of the Oldest and
largest in the northwest.
In all these years there has never
been so great volume of business
better trade conditions or more en-
couraging outlook that the first eight
months Of 1902 has given.
This expansion, has doubtless been
due largely to the constantly ncreas-
ing distributing territory in the north
and northwest.
Taking into consideration the in
telligence and alertness shown by the
Stone Ordean-W company in occu-
plying the territory tributary to this
market as fast as it has been opened
up, the gratifying increase in the VOL
ume of business can be easily account
ed for.

A firm which is we'll known in this
section of the country, on account Of
the excellent business standing Of the
company, and also on account of the
splendid quality Of the flour they pro-
duce, is the. Duluth Universal Mill COM
:pany. $Asconcern of this kind adds very
materially to the commercial standing
and business prestige Of Duluth, and
should receive the support and en-
enlargement of it's citizens. We have
no hesitancy in placing the Duluth
Universal Mill company along with 9TH
er prominent firms which we have rea-
son to consider as friends of labor. The
Duluth Universal Mill flour has been
Endorsed by the labor organizations of
Duluth.
The men at the head Of this COM
pany stand foremost among the broad
minded and public-spirited citizens Of
Duluth. and are highly esteemed by
llrwho know them. We take pleasure
in placing the name of the Duluth
Universal Mill company among the
leading concerns which are to be de-.
pended on as staunch and substantial
friends of conservative organized labor.
Labor men should remember that Uni
versal flour has no equal in this COM
munity, and as the members Of the
labor organizations are endeavorine to
build up home industries, they have a
glorious opportunity to do 80 now.
Every grocer in the city has also a dutw
to perform. His prosperity depends.
largely upon the success Of the masses.
If they are we'll employed their bust
ness is better. It is then the grocers
duty to further the interests Of home
industries so that more men will be
employed.

A ''go easy" policy will assuredly

be Of stupendous influence for good, but
it is to the interest of both sides to see
that it is not purchased too dearly.

THE CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET
Wheat Weak, While Corn Is Freely Of
fered on Advance.

CHICAGO, Aug. n.-With the excep-
tion OF a little strength early. due to
light frosts reported in North Dakota
and Minnesota, the wheat market wa>
weak from the start. Practically all the
news of the day was bearIsh, but there
developed some export business near the
close, when New York reported fifty
loads taken. The northwest was selling
here against its fine new crop. and there
was no adequate support. Michigan re-
ported its yield at seventeen bushels per
acre, against eleven bushels last year
The trade was expecting that the Coy
eminent would give its crop figures this
afternoon. Exports of the day were
7G1 900 bushels. Primary market receipts
were 10000 bushels, against ] Ass, ,0C0
bushels a year ago. The visible supply
decreased 1919, 900 bushels. The English
visible decreased 2,297, 900 bushels. Cash
market was easier Worlds shipments
for the day were 1886. coo bushels, from
which America cleared about 4.250, 900
bushels. Estimated receipts for tomor-
row, 200 cars.
