Labor day is now receiving the atten-

The Trades Assembly has appointed
committee and its organization was
perfected this week. Henry Dworschak
was elected president, J. w. Richard
son secretary and Ole Larson treasurer
The personal of the committee has in
it the names of a large number of the
leaders in local labor circles and good
work can be expected from them.
The executive committee can profit
by looking over the records of the COM

have been made-there will always be
some but it should be the aim of the
executive committee to adopt the best
features that have been attended upon

new ones that might be suggested or
that they themselves can devise.
The committee last year abolished the
practice of selling liquor upon the pic

and merited the approval of the peo-

attendance at the picnic.

BUFFALO BILL IS COMING.

Buffalo Bills Wild est is coming,
and will be here next Wednesday, in
the course of swinging around a larger
circle than has ever before been
mapped out for it on this continent,
one that takes in San Francisco and
important points in the extreme South
west. Next season it will go to Europe,
for the third time, and may remain,
there two or three years.
While very considerable part of the
entertainment it offers is of such in
cidents as we will enjoy mainly for
their fidelity to things with which many
of us are familiar in daily life, being
episode presentations of the strenuous
lives of Western frontiersmen, there is
also in the programme a vast deal that
is altogether novel and of absorbing
interest. because it is so essentially
foreign to All possibilities of knowledge
IN our experiences, and is, in every de-
tail, just as truthfully presented as
those things of which we can confident
ly affirm the verify.
Only in an aggregate Of such sur
prising magnitude as Buffalo Bills
Wild West could one expect to see so
many genuine representatives of the
cavalry service of half a dozen armies,
all perfectly trained, experienced SOL
diers, expert in their widely different
styles of equitation and all accurately
uniformed, armed and equipped. The
extraordinary horsemanship of the wild
Don Cossacks and the remarkable ac-
complishments of the Bedouin Arabs
are alone worth going far to see.
An admirable feature of the Wild
Vests programme is that it gives
equal place, along with it's warlike
episodes, to others illustrative of the
brave deeds Of peace. and one of these,
intensely interesting. as we'll as. in
structive. is the exhibit of the Life
Savers methods. A crew Of the At
lantic coast-guard, on furlough for the
summer from government service, with
a complete outfit of apparatus loaned
by the government, show in the arena
how they reach. a vessel wrecked on
the coast. and rescue people with the
"breeches buoy"
The Wild West programme, from
start to finish, has not in it a dull
minute or an uninteresting encident.

SCHOOL HOUSE PAINTING.

Trades Assembly Holds Special
Meeting on the Subject.
A special meeting of the Trades AS
sembly was held Wednesday to hear
report of the Executive Committee re-
garding the action Of the School Board
with respect to the painting of school
houses.
The committee reported that several
members of the Board stated that they
would insist on the union clause
remaining in the contract, as it i" had
been their system for four years and
hade given satisfaction. Thev said they
know Of no reason why they should
deviate therefrom.
The committee found that the board
was not responsible for the remarks
made by two OF it's members, and did
not approve them. The report Of COM
mittee was received and filed.

Tourneau and Frank B. Smith, the
members whose terms have just ex-
pired, were endorsed, and the name Of
H. j. Pierson added to the list. Pierson
is a member Of the Clerks union and
is trades union advocate from the word

er and a hard worker. 1t was largely
through his efforts that early closing

job printing office and book binding

a friend of arganized labor. He en-
ploys all union men, and his actions
since becoming a member of the board
six years ago have always been fair
toward unionism. Frank B. Smith is
another man who has been on the right
side Of the fence when questions Of

sidered.
Mr.. Persons name was placed on the
ticket in place of DR.. Bowman, who
secured the displeasure of many of the
members of organized labor some time
ago. DR.. Bowman has given out that
he Is not a candidate.
The position of Engels & co. is a
rather peculiar one at this time. Ac-
eording to a clause in all contracts the
work must be done by union labor.
Having figured on using unfair labor,
the firm was in a position to bid lower
than any one else. 1t is now up to THEN
to engage union men or throw up the
contract. The action will work a good
toward the other painters in the city
who employ union journeymen. These
men have been underbid repeatedly by
unfair firms who employed non-ur1ion
labor. Should certain of the non-union
concerns lose few dollars on their
contracts, it is likely that they will
swing in line, or at least make it DOS
sible for the others engaged in the same
line Of business to get a bid.

One Of the bitterest struggles
| between organized labor, and it's en-
ployers is now in progress in Los An
geles. Cal. The employers Of that city
are apparently determined to wipe out
the Labor organizations, and have in
augurated program which is calculat-
ed to break up and disrupt the unions
| so that they will not be able to pro-
| tect their members or hold up the wage
scale.
The Duluth Trades Assemble received
a circular letter from the Los Angeles
! County Council Of Labor recently which
shows what the conditions are in the
| California city, and proves to what
| length capitalists will ge in order to
squeeze the life blod from laboring
men, and grind them down to the bares1
living wage.
Organized labor throughout the
| and be warned thereby never to relax
principles for which labor arganiza-
tions stand.
Regarding the particular case to
which this letter calls attention, union
labor everywhere should do all in it's
power to assist the Los Angeles breth-
rem in their fight, in every possible
way. Union men will not only keep
| away from the place, but will de all
+, they can to spread the news of the
| conditions there, and induce other
workingmen to steer clear of a city
| where such methods are resorted to by
employers. The business men of Los
Angeles will eventually learn that their
actions are certain to result in in
calculable damage to their city. The
circular letter reads:
Los Angeles, CAL, July LIST, 1902.

being run in hundreds Of eastern news
papers for the purpose Of inducing
carpenters bench hands, Millmen
machinemen, lathers, plasterers, hod-
| carriers, and in fact, mechanics Of all
kinds, to come. to Los Angeles, where
they are promised steady work at big
pay.
Warning: In conjunction with these
advertisements, circular letters are be-
Ing sent broadcast, in the hopes Of gett-
ing men to come here in order to dis

tion hopes to SO flood Los Angeles with
workingmen that the struggle for jobs
will be so keen it will result in the dis
ruptions of the unions and consequently

The mouth-piece of this secret organ
