ORIGIN OF LABOR DAY.

Labor Day was celebrated first in
New York City. The celebration took
place there on Monday, September 4,
1882. That day had been chosen by the
Central Labor Union of the metropolis,
as voluntary labor holiday, on which
organized workingmen were requested
to drop their employments, and after
displaying their organized strength in
public parade, to make of the day a
festival time. The New York Central
Labor Union, the first of it's kind, had
been but recently formed, and the
Labor Day experiment was of doubtful
promise up to the very hour set for the
parade; but in the end of the expert
ment proved so successful that the
first Monday of September has since
been observed in similar manner by
the labor organizations of New York
every year. The custom thus begun
speedily spread, until it is now gener-
al throughout the United States.
Though voluntary at first, the holiday
was soon legalized in the state where
it originated, and is now a legal holi-
day in IS states and the District of COL
umbia.

STARTLING Statement
MADE BY COAL MINER

A letter was recently published in the
New York Times which relates a boast
made several months ago by a large
holder of Pennsylvania coal mine
stock, as follows:
There is going to be strike. It is
hard thing, seemingly cruel thing
to do, but it is business. We are going
to adopt measures that will force the
miners out, stop production, put up the
price Of coal, and when stocks are rea-
scnably reduced we, can make a trifline
concession, and the miners will come
back. We know exactly how and when
to do this, and we do it, though It
looks cruel, as a matter of business and
prof1ts''
Commenting on this, the Chicago
Record Herald says:
1.-THE necessity for some legislation
that will force great corporations to
arbitrate differences with their en-
ployes where their disputes entail
enormous losses on the public, is a
growing sentiment throughout the
country. The people, and not the cor
porations involved, are paying in in
creased prices the cost of the anthracite
coal miners strike It Is all very fine
to ridicule the demand for some legis-
lation that will compel the settlement
Of such strikes along the lines of JUS
tice and fair dealing between capital
and labor, but the problem cannot be
dismissed without breeding, dangerous
conditions. The state creates corpora
t;ons. and It can control its creations.
How it shall exercise that control is
the gravest question confronting Amer
lean statesnianshfp today" &

John Mitchell, president of the mine
workers. who is at the strike headquar-
ters in Wilkesbarre, Pa, made this
statement Tuesday.
Nothing toward a settlement was ac-
ccmplished at the Harrisburg (Pa.) con-
ference between Governor Stone, of
Pennsylvania, President MITCHELL, the
presidents Of the three anthracite dis
tricts and others who have been trying
to end the strike.
Nothing of Importance was done at

asked regarding it. Nothing, in fact,

discussed the causes and progress OF

'Did Governor Stone propose that the

SWEDES TURNED DOWN.
Republican Party FOrgets Past Ma
jOrities From Scandinavians.


The Swedish-American element of our
citizenship received a surprising turn
down at the primaries on Tuesday from
the Republicans of st. Louis county.
For the past number of years the Of
flee of register of deeds has been gen.
orally conceded to that element. This
year every Swedish-American was
turned down at the polls, and it is
needless to say there is considera BILE
indignation in some quarters over this.
Mr.. Eckman who was a candidate
for- representative in the 50th district
was defeated, as were also Gust Berg
quist and L. NJ. johnson, for register
of deeds. Ole Larson scarcely knew he
was running for sheriff, and Mr.. Engle
was third in the race for county COM
missioner
On the other hand the Democrats
have never made any pretentions of
favoring any particular nationality. The
question with the party has been the
citizenship Of their candidates. This
year from the head Of the ticket to the
very bottom can be found the names
of representative citizens of Minnesota,
who are proud that Swedish blood flows
in their veins. L. A. Rosing the candi-
date for governor, can refer with pride
to the Swedish stock from which he
halls. Even in Duluth our county ticket
will be represented by most typical
citizen in the person of August Hag-
berg

NO IRISH There.

question of where they could spend the
summer, on a street car recently. A
woman, evidently Of Hibernian extrac-
tipn, sat dirsc q CROSS the car i and
, }'.I went Is Che beach last year" said
one Of the women; "but shall not go
there again; there are too many Irish
there. The place is getting too dreadful
ly common
"And IT, said the other ''went to the
mountains and I must confess that
found the same fault. The Irish were
plentiful and shall not go there
again.
This was too much for the old woman,
who, getting up and starting for the
door, remarked:
"Well, yez can both go to hell-there's

BATTLE ROYAL
between GIANTS

Senator Hanna is both an owner of
street railroads and a politician. He an
nounces, however, that his savings are
in the street railroads, and that, if nec-
essary. he will let politics go and de-
vote himself to protecting the railways.
Where mans treasure is, there will
his heart be ALSO"
Senator Hanna has recently expressed
the opinion that street railway fran
chises should be perpetual, and should
capital invested. He still holds to the
primitive doctrine of monopoly. that
special privileges should be granted by
the state to individuals, and that these
privileges should be sacred, inviolable
contracts, not to be revoked under any
circumstances nor for any consideration
Of public Interest,"
Senator Hanna has been forced to
this frank statement of his devotion to
monopoly by the growing strength of
Tom l.. Johnson. johnson believes that
public ownership must finally be
achieved for those utilities that are es-
sentially monopolies; that. prior to pub
lie ownership. franchises should be
granted for limited periods only; that
the investment returns should be mod
crate, and that the properties should
revert to the municipalities.
The contest between Johnson and
Hanna is more than the battle Of two
political giants. 1t is the meeting Of two
forces that are battling for the poses-
sion Of the world. Hanna represents
monopoly. johnson represents equal
rights. This battle will not be finished
in one year, but it is a great fortune
for the people that for the opening bat
tie they have so powerful and shrewd
a champion as Tom L. Johnson. 49,
