WHAT DO THEY MEAN7

The methodist General Conference,
at it's recent session adopted a report
which contains the following signif-
icant paragraph:
There can be no doubt that the
facts associated with the economic life
OF our times indicate the approach of
a new industrial order, and may be
regarded as the birth throes Of such a
revolution.
When a representative body Of q
great religious organization makes a
statement like the foregoing it is quite
evident that the hopes and thoughts of
a few cranks and agitators are becom-
ing generally diffused and popular.
What will be the new industrial or

Those, by the way, who do not pre-
tend to be socialists but are dissatisfied
with the present economic system, sell

the new order"-what will take the
place Of the capitalistic competitive or

substituted when the old passes away

It would be better perhaps IL those

honest thing to do. -

though it is generally considered that
there is less interest manifested this
year than ever before. Every little

While it is generally conceded that

ings Others who we believe to be less
fortunate in this fight.
All of the Democratic candidates
were on the ranges this week with Cap

there has given them all good hopes for
election.
The Republican candidates are now
travelling the ranges on Van SAINTS life
saving 81 trip.
Charlie Miller has been doing most
of his work up north. This week he
has been visiting about the city, and
his stock for sheriff is going up. Mr.
Miller is a good campaigner and has
strong hopes for election.
w. w. Butehart says that he has a
cinch on the office. He has no fear
of party treachery or Miller's popular

maries Mr.. Butchart does not have
to take a back seat for popularity for
anybody.
N. J.Miller is making g. splendid cam

been a resident of Duluth for thirty

Republican vote from those who are
opposed to life tenure in office.
J. B. Middlecof says that his election
is assured. He reasons he Is the only
Republican candidate in harmony with
all factions Of the party. Therefore he
ought to be elected by large major

PREPARING FOR FUTURE.

1t is reported through the east that
the anthracite magnates expect to have
enough coal produced by the summer
o. next year to supply the trade for
five years. They feel that they could
have destroyed the miners union in
the recent great coal strike if they
could have had more coal on hand to
prevent the general public clamor for
fuel and no doubt their object in stock
ing up a great surplus will be merely
to force down wages and wreck the
union if possible some time in the fu-
ture.

The Duluth Trade and Labor Assem-
bly, was at one time considered one
of the most alive bodies in the city,
It has seen worse times than it is en-
joying to-day. The attendance at the
meetings are larger now than it has
been for years.
In the days of its greatest useful
ness and activity, every member of
union In the city knew what was going
on. The papers gave much of their
space publishing matters Of news in
relation to the work Of union labor.
A declaration Of the trades assembly
excited widespread interest, and union
labor was credited with being in splen-
did shape in the city. Union labor was
never in better condition than it is
to-day, still but little is heard Of the
trades assembly. ..-... .... .. .
We have no desire to criticise or con-
denim anybody connected with the
thing better from this paper We,
however believe in advertising and
publicity. The most progressive trades
assemblies to-day are those that let
the public know what they are doing.
Organized labor In Duluth forms
considerable part Of the public. The
membership is entitled to know
through the press just what is being
done by it's central organiza ton. It Is
claimed that the news will be given
them when they attend their union
meetings. Even If this is true, it is old
news at the best.
We say to the officers of the trades
assembly In all kindness that It is their
duty to see that all important matters
pertaining to labor should be given to
the press. Don't hide your lamp under
bushell. We know that the press will
be willing to publish anything of
interest, in a fair and honest manner.
The people will be glad to get the news,
and organized labor will profit by it..
This publicity will have a splendid
effect on the public. It will make it
decidedly easy to organize new unions.
It will help to spread the gospel of
trade unionisn, where It does not reach
to-day. It will boom the union label
and give the people a greater UNDER
standing Of it's true purpose.

Hon. L. A. Rosing, Democratic can
didate for governor Of Minnesota was
in Duluth last week. The RepubN-
cans, perhaps, know this better than
any others do. They have felt the ef-
feet Of his work here. Mr.. Rosing is a
big man; big in stature, big in thought
and just as powerful as he is big.
The Republicans know this, and for
this reason Van SAINT is obliged to put
in four days in one Of the strongest
Republican counties in the whole state
for the purpose of endeavoring to save
his normal vote here.
Rosing used to be regarded as mere
politician. That was when he man
aged John Lind's campaigns. He was
little known Of except as good poll
tical manager. Since he received the
nomination for governor he has shined
out in new light. A new field has
brought out something In the man that
shows him to be cleanly up-to- date on
the reform Issues.
Where does he stand? He is for gov
ernment ownership of mines, railroads
and other things Of a public nature.
His speech along this line at Duluth
last week was one Of the most logical
presented in many day. He got down
to the essence Of the whole question,
upon which all public ownership advo-
Gates base their hopes for the ultimate
triumph Of the people.
He stands for system Of taxation,
against which none can object except
those who are interested in securing
special privileges from the state.
On the merger question he takes a
most logical and consistent stand. He
does not believe in opposing the Hill
merger among the farmers, and favor
ing the iron ore railroad merger among
the politicians of st. Louis county,
-ai1nply-hecause- theX are Obliged to
stand In with the Steel, Trust to get
large Republican majorities in this
county.
Rosing says that If he is elected he
will fight all mergers until the courts
decide upon them.
On the platform Rosing has shown
that he is more than a politician. He
Is a statesman Of the highest order.
Perhaps no man in the state knows
Mr.. Rosing better than does Ex-Gover
nor John Lind. The following tribute
was paid by him in this campaign at
ct. Paul just one month ago:
MY friends, we need a governor who
will enforce the law, not only for the
purpose Of election, but for the pur-
pose of establishing the dignity and
sacredness Of that law. If you will
vote right it Is my deliberate judg-
ment that you can have such a COVER
nor. My friend, T. D. O'Brien, who,
I trust, will have an opportunity to ad-
minister the law in this county in the
future (Applause), suggested that I
say a good word In behalf of our candi-
date for governor.
My friends, you might as we'll ask
me to say a good word in behalf of the
memory of my father. or of my moth
er, or my wife. It is not easy to speak
we'll of those you know best and love
the most. If there is anyone entitled
to the confidence of the people of this
state In my admiration. if there is any

The Peoples Canddate-His Flight Is

The campaign Of Marcus L. Fay is

The campaign Of Marcus L. Fay is
drawing to a triumphant conclusion.
But three days more Of work remains
to- bedone, and then the case will go
to the people of the district for their
decision.
The Labor World has been at some
pains to discover what the sentiment of
the district is in this matter Of con-
gressman. It has made it's own inves-
legations in representative labor GEN.
ters, farming districts and mining
camps, and 1t has had access to care
full reports made both for Democratic
and Republican workers. The fact that
all these reports agree, that Fay men
and Bede men tell the same story when
sending in field reports to their mana
gers. and that our own investigations
verify that story, leads US to this con-
clusion: Not only will Fay be elected
representative by phenomenal ma
jority, but his strength and popularity
has 50 added to the chances Of the bal
ance Of the Democratic ticket that VIC
tory all down the line is the probable
result Of the balloting on November
4th.
Wherever Fay has gone he has made
friends. Wherever his friends have
gone they have advocated his cause
enthusiastically, and have made friends
for him.
Union labor is coming solidly to his
standard. Fay's record makes this nos.
sible. Bede's record makes it 1nevita-
Bile. The love which the working peo-
pie have for a man who Is big in soul
and sympathy, and at the same time

class, makes this support Of the work.

ing class alone. The farmers are dis
playing the same sentiment which
actuates the working people, and are
declaring for Fay, because he is a fair
man. Merchants and professional
men know him and admire his ability,
and SO he is everywhere gaining great
numbers Of Republican votes.
The Republicans thought at the be-
ginning Of the campaign, and openly
made the boast, that the fact that
Bede's record during the A. r. U. strike
would give him the support of all 9TH
er classes. Teh very opposite has
proved to be the case. All classes are
weary of industrial contention and
strife, and are afraid Of the men who
stand for contention and strife. All
appreciate the fact that this district
could have no worse fortune than to
have a congressman who would be a
source Of distruct and irritation to the
working people. And so the farmers,
the merchants, and the professional men
are turning to Marcus L. Fay on the
ground that vote for him is vote for
Industrial oonciliation, good feeling and
peace.
Fay stands for justice. He says: IT
the strong get justice and no more,
and the weak get justice and no less
then the state will have done it's duty"
This platforb, coupled with Fay's re-
cord, is promise that his election will
usher in q new era, in which at least
all those industrial troubles due to ir-
ritation and misunderstanding will be
avoided. We are all-employes and
employed, farmers and city men, rich
and poor-tired of fighting and ready
to vote in the way that will help to
avoid it. That Is why Fay is strong
with every class and in every locality.

UNION FORMED |

FIRST UNION on IRON RANGE Or
GANIZED BY JOHN HEASLY.


Gradually but surely the trade union
idea 1s taking hold in communities
where heretofore it has received the
least encouragement. On the Vermil-
lion and Mesabe Ranges it was sup
organize any branch Of labor. The ap-
parent prejudice in some quarters, and
the marker indifference in others have
always bAen an impediment to the
progress of organized labor in that To-
cality. To J. L. Heasly, president of
the Duluth carpenters unton, is due
the credit for organizing the first labor
union on the Iron range. He Sue
ceeded last week in organizing the car
penters Of Hibbing with a most prom
Using membership
The union will become a part Of the
Unmed Brotherhood Of Carpenters,
and will also affiliate with the State
Federati of Labor. Later it may de-
eide to send delegate to the Trade
and Labor Assembly Of Duluth.
Mr.. Healsy also has other towns on
the Mesabe Range in mind, and it is
safe to say that there will be several
unions there in short time.
The sngineers in the mines and on
the steam shovels are also consider
ing plan Of organization. An organ
izer from the steam engineers is ex-
pected here soon to take charge Of the
work of organization up there.
In the efforts to organization on the
ranges the trade unionists can rely
upon receiving great assistance from
the railroad brotherhoods from Two
Harbors and Proctor Knott
The State Federation will also be
willing to bear some Of the expense in
organization. Here's hoping that an
effort will be made to carry on the
good work began by brother Heasly.

VALDEZ, FEBRUARY 13, 1902.

TIE ALASKA PRospECToI appears today without any apologies. Its publishers not only believe that Valdez is ready for and needs an other paper, but that Southern Alaska especially, and our entire District needs to be more accurately. adequately and reliably represent cd to the outside world than it is al the present time. TIE ALAsKA A PROSpEcrOR therefore enters the journalistic field as another repre- sentative of this wonderful country, with Valdez, the great copper country adjacent thereto and South ern Alaska in the foreground. It will be our aim to give our readers the very latest and most reliable news of this great Northland, cs- pecially regarding its gold and cop per mines and new strikes.
 In addition to publishing the latest reliable information regarding our gold and copper mines, the PRosrEcroR will also keep its read CTS informed regarding the many other varied resources of this vast wonderland. Its great fishing in- dustry, its coal mines and oil fields; its timber and forests and its un- bounded agricultural and stock raising lands. Its trade in furs and its fox raising industry.
 The PROsPEcToR will have num- ber of the best correspondents in Southern Alaska in the different towns and mining camps who will keep our readers informed regard ing their respective localities.
 It is also our intention to pub fish in the near future d number of articles regarding the Alaska native, his mode of living, his needs and his many interesting legends. Stories of the early pioneers of the country, their trials and adventures will also be d special feature of the paper, and many of these articles will be illustrated.
 TIE ALASKA PRosPEcroR will en- deavor to keep its readers informed regarding the great resources of this country. There is untold wealth in our mountains, valleys and seas. New strikes are being constantly made. New opportuni- ties for the investment of capital are presenting themselves almost daily. New and better laws are needed for our District. Old laws needto be either enforced or repealed Law breakers need to be punished. Easy going officials who do not at tend to their business need to be stirred up and occasionally remind ed of their duties. We expect to speak on these matters whenever it is necessary.
 Mayor Steele certainly has the esteem and appreciation of all our citizens for the good work he did for Valdez while in Seattle.

Collector For Alaska.

President Roosevelt has appoint ed Lieut.. D. B. Jarvis as Collector of Customs for Alaska, vice J. W, Iyey, resigned.
 Lieut.. Jarvis is well known throughout Alaska, where he has been engaged in the Revenue Gutter service for several years. He was at the head of the expedition which weht to Point Barrow in 1898 after the sailors who had been imprisoned by the ice. He has also made sev- eral trips to Siberia after reindeer for the government, and has rem dered much assistance to the starving and needy natives of nor thern flask.
 We believe that Lieut.. Jarvis will make an excellent official and be- speak for him the good will of the Alaska people.
