No Change in the Great Strike of
the Miners.
There is little change in the miners
strike. All the men are out and there
is proba bility that the engineers and
firemen and the bituminous men may
be called out. The operators have laid
off their office help and some are be-
ing sworn in as deputies. Railway men
by the hundreds are also being laid off.
Meanwhile the coal barons are making
big stacks of money by advancing
prices. The demands of the anthracite
miners are shorter hours for the men
who have to work ten or twelve hours
a day; higher wages for the men who
work but 40 to 100 days in the year,
and earn about $3.50 for the years work.
and more uniform and equitable sys-
tenn Of weighing the coal for the miners
who are paid blythe ton and who are
boldly robbed in many ways. Before
striking they offered to compromise for
a raise of cents a ton, but the barons
coldly rejected even that proposition.

Men Are as Firm Today as on the

The tugmen's strike is still on. Grand
President McCarle was here early in
the week, and explained the whole sit

sticking together with commendable
firmness. They realize that to lose this
strike means that they will have to
fight it over again at some future time.
TO win it means that strikes will cease
among the tugmen for some time to
come. Only one tug is working in Du-

Few there are today who realize fully
the enormous power of organized labor.
Only the thinkers, and they are COM
paratively few, realize it's real power.
In most industries entire organized la
Dor wields a power that can paralyze
commerce and industry.
Three notable examples of this power
in recent history are we'll remembered.
It was the gigantic Pullman strike, in
which 100000 railway workers were in
volved, that caused the American public
to first partly realize this giant labor
force.
That strike paralyzed the commerce
of a dozen states, and yet only one
tenth of the railway workers of the
nation engaged in that contest.
Who can realize the enormous loss
all the organized railway workers
should engage in a strike today?
!. Such strike would mean that not a
pound of freight could be transported,
that the business of the nation would
be at a standstill.
Two other strikes, that of the City
Front Federation of San Francisco and
the Boston Allied Freight and Trans
portation strike, are good illustrations
of the power of labor. The first was
strike Of the longshoremen, freight
handlers, teamsters, ETC., involving
some $4,000 men, and lasting nearly ten
months.
The merchants and the public in gen.
eral of San Francisco realize now, as
never before, the tremendous power of
the unions of San Francisco. That
strike was carried even into politics and
resulted in the election of union man
as mayor of the second commercial city
of the nation.
In the recent Boston strike the same,
or nearly the same, element of labor
engaged in the strike, some 10000 men
being out for three days. When these
10000 men, whose labor transports the
commerce of Boston (within the city,
quit work, it had the same result as the
bursting Of boiler of a steam engine
has on a manufacturing plant. When
they quit, business was paralyzed. And
how easy the workers did this. Sup
pose that in place of 10000 men going
on a strike there had been 10000 or
$4,000, what then? Labor united then

E. p. Dickey, Vulturous runner for
the Van Guard store, which is under
the ban of the Clerks union, cruelty
and brutally assaulted one of the en-
ployees of the union. Pat Roach. who is
engaged in distributing cards announ-
cling that the Van Guard has violated
it's early closing agreement with the
union.
Roach's back was turned when he
was struck, and as he fell to the ground
the cowardly bully kicked him in the
stomach and jumped upon his breast.
Roach is small man, while Dickey
is a giant in stature. The former while
not altogether engaged in an agreeable
work has acted in gentlemanly man
ner at all times. The union has had
different men watch him who have
found this to be true.
On the other hand the big man.
whenever people have stopped to gaze
in at the show window, has been seen
to catch men by the arm and forcibly
lead them into the store, so that the
wolves within might prey upon them.
This has been matter Of comment
upon the streets in the immediate
vicinity of Fourth avenue West for
some time.
Passing citizens who saw the assault
were extremely indignant and might
have mobbed Dickey hat it not been
for the presence of Sergeant Thompson,
who Immediately placed him under ar
rest He was taken before Judge Ed
son, where he paid a fine Of $3.50. Had
the judge known the manner of the
crime he would without doubt have
given the brutal assailant the full pen
atty.
This assault stirred the Clerks union
to action, and a warrant was imme-
diately sworn out against Dickey for
assaulting F.. J. Sullivan, another picket
on Saturday. No attention was paid to
this assault until it was seen that it
was becoming a wholesale matter, and
the clerks found that it was necessary
to seek redress in the courts to stop it.
After the trial in the latter case an
other warrant will be sworn out for
the violation of city ordinance.

Two years ago the unions quietly
agreed that boycotting and picketins
would be restricted in Duluth in the
future. The labor unions have kept
their word. The picketing in front OF
the Van Guard store is not in violation
of that contract. Every lover of de-
cency whether he believes in unions or
not sympathizes with the clerks in this
struggle. Men who have been known
to oppose organized labor have assured
us of their support in this matter.
The clothing and drygoods stores in
this city have agreed to close early
on all evenings, excepting Saturday.
The Van Guard store signed the agree
ment to close, but has since violated it.
The proprietors of other stores in the
immediate vicinity have notified the
union that unless the Van Guard closed
at the same time as they did, they
would be obliged to keep open also.
What else can the clerks do but ask
their friends to withhold their patron
age from the Van Guard until it agrees
to the early closing proposition. It is
matter of preservation with
them. If this merchant cannot do busi-
ness except when his competitors are
closed up he ought to get out of the
business. It is an unfair man who will
take advantage of such conditions as
this

living of the miners. Their suffering

and again. It would please us to see
large audience of workingmen at the

Mr.. Long will no doubt dwell on the
fact that the miners had appealed be-
fore striking to the mine owners to
submit the whole matter to arbitration;!
that they turned down the request of
Senator Hanna who desired that the
matter be arbitrated.
The mine owners appeal to the pubs
lie to oppose the strike, because a VIC
tory for the miners means a higher
price for coal, and yet while the strike
is on the owners arbitrarily raise the
price of coal simply because there ap-
pears to be little shortage. :
