TUG FIREMEN.

Strike IL Now Discussed by Grand
Grievance Committee.
The strike of the tug firemen took on
serious aspect Sunday when John
McCaffrey, president of the union
wired the grand president at Chicago
that there was little chance for a set
tlement:
It meant that the grievance commit
tee would hold meeting as soon as
possible, and that if the demands Of
the Duluth men were justified, and the
towing company did not accede, every
fireman in the employ of the company
on the entire chain of lakes would be
called out.
Should this be the case, and it seems
very likely at this time, navigation will
be greatly interfered with. President
McCaffrey said that he had been un-
able to make any settlement with Capt.
w. H. Hill and he thought that the
matter had better be taken care OF by
the grand lodge officers who make
up the grand grievance committee. Du-
luth has one mem Der on the committee
Peter Cowsick, the first vice president,
who left Monday for Cleveland The
following press report from Cleveland
refers to the meeting there. President
valiquiet. of the Ffremen's and Line
mems Protective association, and the
members of the grievance committee
held a conference today, and while no
statement is made; 1t is understood
that the committee will recommend the
acceptance Of the proposition made by
the Great Lakes Towing company to
the men at Lake Erie ports where
there Is trouble.
President valiquiet and the members
of the grievance committee met with
the local lodge tonight and discussed
the trouble at Duluth. Another meet
ing will be held before the matter is
taken up with the Great Lakes Towing
company. -

Get your ear to the ground. Hear
ae resounding steps of labors hosts as
they are gathering up their atoms, and
gradually but surely removing the old
'anti-politics' barriers that have so
long prevented them from doing ef-
fective work at the polls. True there
is still a prejudice in some quarters,
and among some leaders against get
ting into politics, but no leader can
hold back the movement that is now
pressing itself forward with irresist-
able force. The leaders of the Build
ing Trades Council. Of San Francisco,
endeavored to discourage the union
political movement there, but their op-
position only stirred the rank and file
of organized labor They had no time
to listen to the advice of leaders; the
united opposition Of the employers dur
ing the great water front strike was
fresh in their mind. They were kicked
and abused by policemen during the
strike. They complained to the police
commissioner only to find that he was
a member of the employers association,
and their complaint fell upon deaf ears.
They next went to the grand jury. only
to discover that the foreman was
president of the employers association.
This situation aroused their atten-
ton. Capital was in politics, and labor,
matreated and abused, yet generous
and forgiving to degree was helping
to put it there.
What next did they do? what should
they do. but play little game Of
politics themselves, which resulted in
the election Of a Workingman as mayor
of their city. The result Of this elec-

COMMITS SUICIDE,
Disappointed in Life, She
Finds Relief in Death
Last Saturday.

Miss Mary Farmer, young lady about
twenty years old living with her aunt,
Mrs. Micklejohn, at the Gus Mayes'
place in the country, on Saturday last
deliberately took carbolic acid and cam
phor and shuffled off this mortal coil
A case of medicine had been left at the
house some time ago by a doctor and
she got hold of bottle marked poison,
and swallowed it's contents. AS soon as
she did so she began to scream, owing
to the fluid burning her throat, and she
Immediately told Mrs. Micklejohn of
her desperate act. DIR. J. M. Moore
was sent for ard used stomach pump,
but his efforts to save her life proved
futile and in about two hours she died.
The young lady had made previous
attempts to destroy her life and owing
to this fact was tried before the Ordi-
nary for insanity, but the jury declared
she was sane. At the trial, she was
asked why she desired to kill herself,
and she replied that she was disap-
pointed in life, she had no friends and
there was nothing worth living for.
Always respondent, it was feared that
she would commit this rash act and
was watched as far as possible, but in a
moment when she was alone, she OBJ
tanned the fatal poison that ended her
earthly existence.
Her funeral took place Sunday.
