Dulutf1's Opportunity to be Represented of
Settling Grievances-Re Representation Accorded

Samuel Gompers has issued the H2]l
for the tWenty-second convention OF
the American Federation Of Lab' + 70
be held a. New Orleans on Now Ifber
18th. The convention will be hR one
month earlier this year. The ca says
that representation in the cof vxntion
will be on the following basY,: From
National or international In rns, for
less than four thousand men fers, one
delegate four thousand or 1.ore, two
delegates: eight thousand or more,
three delegates; sixteen thousand or
more, four delegates; thirty-two thous-
and or more, five elfGates; sixty
thousand or more, six delegates, ana
so on: and from Genital Bodies and
State Federations. and from local
unions not having a rational or inter-
national union, and from federal labor
unions one delegate.
The call further says that only bona
fide wage workers, who are not men,
hers of, or eligible to membership in,
ether trade unions, are eligible as DEL
egates from federal labor unions.
AS matter of information to the
Duluth trades assembly let it be said
that Nelegates must be selected at
least two weeks previous to the con-
venton, and their names must be for
warded to the secretary Of the American
Federation Of Labor Immediately after
their election.

you in selecting your delegates. Be fully
your beat, most faithful and expert
enced members.
There are always number OF
grievances to come before the con-
VentiOn, which under the law of the
federation are disposed of SIS follows:
Organizations having grievances
against other organizations are re-
quired to meet by representation for
the purpose Of adjusting the questions
in dispute before the same can be con-
sidered by the convention. A grievance
which has already been considered by
a previous convention can not be taken
up by the forthcoming convention, un-
less three years have elapsed from the
time of the decision being rendered: :
provided, however, that the organiza-
tion feeling aggrieved has obtained the
consent of the executive council to
again bring the subject-matter to the
attention Of the convention.
AS to hotel and railroad rates the Of
ficers of the federation say that the
former accommodations afe the very
best, and that the railroad rates will be
announced later.
Duluth has not been represented at
the A. F. of L. convention since 1899
at Kansas City. 1t certainly should
have a delegate at this convention.

The Washington headquarters of the

tically all the legislatures elected this

who are pledged to permit the voters
to ballot upon the question of adopt
ing Majority Rule-the Optional Refer
endum and the Initiative; and that it is
almost sure that the system will be in
stalled in national affairs when con-
gress convenes in 1905. In an interview
today he says:
1.-THE movement for genuine Majority
Rule has now gained such momentum
that the Republican and Democratic
parties are bidding against each other.
In some states each party is represent

In Michigan, Governor Pingree was
a staunch advocate of the Referendum,
and a Republican legislature enacted
a. law requiring franchises for street
railways in Detroit to be submitted to
a Referendum vote. A portion of the
law was unconstitutional, and the stat
ute became void; but last June the Re-

''"Of course some Of them make the

Consumers of Coal Haze Dim
Idea of How Grim a Fight
Has Been u'dged
BY Miners.
Fight is I'LL Organized Lab0r's, as
Ueu as the Miners
Must Be Fed,
Help Them.

For the past three months it has
seemed as though the miners strike
might be settled any day and there
fore it was hardly worth while to write
of it comprehensively. But at this
writing, with anthracite coal selling at
$25 a. ton in Chicago, nearly SO in Du-
luth, and practically as scarce as dia-
nlonds, the coal miners strike is the
enc absorbing topic Of conversation. 1t
has reached the point where the aver
age consumer feels the pinch and be-
gins to have a fellow-feeling and some
comprehension Of what it may mean
to attempt to live without an income
as over 100000 miners have done for
four months. That is the consumer
who finds the prices going up on every
thing on account Of the scarcity of coal
begins TO have some dim idea Of how
grim fight has been waged. In the
small degree that he suffers inconven-
ience he sympathizes with those who
have suffered much more.

say that the coal operators are so blind
that they believe that the public dis
comfort will react in their favor and
to work. They never were more mis-
taken in their lives.
At the seat of government there is an
unusual gathering of Members Of Con-
gress long before the session. They
are all uneasy over the situation and
many Of them are openly talking of
government confscation Of the coal
monopoly for the use of the people
The trust representatives are there too
in force, although it is two months be-
fore congress will be in session. 1t
is recognized that If the government
should take forward step in regard to
one monopoly it would set the pace for
the others.
In reality there is not the slightest
reason to believe that the government
will interfere-except perhaps to send
up division of the regular army if
violence should be threatened, but it is
significant that the members of con-
gress and official Washington and all
the are-s tallkintr
glibly the most radical plans of gov.
ernment utilization Of trust monopolies.
They evidently think that the tempers
of the people demands something Of
this sort.
Where they make the greatest mis-
take is in thinking that talk alone will
satisfy the people. Without dipping in
to party politics it may not be aniss
