There is probably no agent in the
field Of industry that Is more generally
used or that has done more to facili-
tate the labor of a great number of
people than the sewing machines. 1t
is in use everywhere, in every home
and in every large or small estab-
lishment where materials of all de-
scriptions are converted into clothing
or other useful articles. In buying
sewing machine it is well to lselect a
manufacture that has been tested
thoroughly by long years Of exper-
fence, and not one Of the makes by
cheap labor with which the market is
flooded.
The sewing machines manufactured
and put on the market by The Singer
Manufacturing Company are Of that
dependable character that need only
the name as a guarantee of reliability.
In their attitude toward labor 1t is
pleasure to record that this company
has always been more than fair and
reasonable, showing at all times an
active interest in all questions pertain
ing to the further advancement of the
cause of conservative organized la
Dor.
1t is one of the broad underlying
principles of unionism to foster and
encourage to the fullest extent a de-
serving enterprise like the Singer Man
ufacturing Company kind, whose inter-
ests are so closely identified with the
better interests of the working classes
and which has always shown warm
disposition to be fair and liberal.
The Labor World in extending it's
cooperation and support to the Sim
ger Manufacturing Company predict
that their business will continue to
prosper and increase 50 long as it is
conducted on the present liberal and
progressive lines in the interests Of the
masses. Our; working people may feel
assured of courteous treatment and
honest dealing in the transaction Of
any business with the Singer Manu-
featuring Company anywhere.
The manager Of this company, Mr..
Walter M. Thompson, is prominent
citizen, experienced and reliable i'll
his business methods, broad minded
and public spirited and in all his DEAL
ings with labor, he has been most
courteous, fair and considerable.
It affords the Labor World great
pleasure in extending to the Singer
Manufacturing Company their support
and cooperation. 80

Among the different business
houses Of Duluth one of the best and
most favorably known to the working
men and their wives is the grocery
house Of Henry Folz, located at 33i-
333 West Superior st.
Their fruit, vegetable and meat
market is large and consists of full
line of all the different varieties i'll

wives of Duluth have learned that
their is no place where they can do
so we'll in price and quality of goods
as here.
The full line of groceries and meats
carried by this firm is the best that can
be bought for the money, and is a
stock from which the most fastidious
buyers can make a satisfactory selec-
ton.
Cheese of all varieties, and butter
from the finest creameries, always
fresh and sweet to an excellent cook
ing quality may be had at the dairy
counter.
Owing to the efficiency and courtesy
Of the proprietor, Mr.. Henry Folz, this
store has made rapid strides in the
increase of business till it now stands
at the head Of the leading grocery
stores of Duluth.
The volume of business done by this
firm enables them to sell the same
goods at a closer profit than smaller
dealers can afford to do.
Union men should take advantage
of this and impart the Information to
the lady OF the house that she may
profit by the knowledge.

UNION STORES CLOSE I: !:
ON: DECORATION DAY
The New Store, Only Department
Store to Observe Memorial Day.
Union Labor comnoends 1t.
M. S. Burrows Will Not 'Repudiate His
Contract With Clerks Union-His
Store Will Be Closed All Day.

The clerks union is theoretically
insisting that every clothing and shoe
store in the city live up to the contract
entered into last summer when they
agreed to close ON certain holidays.
Only one clothing store has signified
its intention Of living up to the con-
tract. Mr.. M. S. Burrows is out of the
city, but when he was apprised of the
situation, he wired back. I'VE don't re-
pudiate our contracts" His store will
close. The other stores appear to be
afraid that Mr.. Burrows is stealing a
march on them. The union will take
the union store card out of every store
that opens on Decoration day.
The only department store that will
close on Decoration day is the New
Store, owned by the Gray-Tallant Com
pany. Every union labor man and
woman in Duluth should remember
this firm. It is the leader in closing
movements in the city. Since it began
business in Duluth it has not kept
open a single holiday. Mr.. Tallant of
the firm says: "Our firm believes in
giving our employees the benefit of a
holiday. Those who are confined in
side for six days week deserve a hol-
lday as often as one comes. We be-
l1eve that our relations from such a
policy with our employees is made bet
ter"
]. H. Baker, business agent Of the
carpenters union, and a veteran of
the civil war, said: '"The action of the
New Store in closing on Decoration
Day should be commended by every
patriotic union man in Duluth. Old
soldiers and workingmen ought to re-
member their friends. I believe that
union labor should show many favors
to the New Store for it's progressive
and patriotic spirit

UNIONiSM IN MEADvlLLE, PA.
Short History Of the Forward Move.
mont in Live Pennsylvania City.

Meadville, Pa, May 29.-MeadV1lle
Central Labor Union was organized in
November, 1896. At that time there
were but four unions affiliated with the
A. F. of l.. here. These four were the
printers, tailors, machinists and cigar
makers They united in celebrationg
labor day in 1896. Instead Of dividing
the profits of labor day picnics, they
held a joint meeting and decided to
keep the funds intact and send to the
A. F. Of L., for A charter for Central
Labor Union. The result Of this meet
ing was that the charter was granted.
In the spring Of 1897, the Central La
Dor Union leased its present quarters
and furnished them handsomely and
then passed resolution that any num-
Der of craftsmen desiring to form a
local union would have the first six
months free of rent. This has been an
incentive in forming new locals. The
work Of organizing was slow at first,
but with the dawn of 1901 the working
men here began to realize that their
conditions could be improved only
through organization. Jan. l, 1901,
showed but eight unions affiliated with
the Central La Dor Union. During 1901,
six new locals were organized. Last
year there were about twelve, and this
year so far, we have started four. We
have now twenty-four locals affiliated
with the c.. L. U.
The present quarters being too small,
the Central last May temporarily rent
ed rooms for organizing purposes from
the retail clerks. These two rooms are
now not enough. The Central will soon
occupy two rooms in the new Eiler
block, just finished, and will retain
present rooms for organizing purposes.

TEAM DRIVERS UNION.

The inclemency Of the weather had
much to do with the small attendance
at the team drivers union Wednesday
evening. The union expects to get after
the city for employing non-union team
sters. A resolution was adopted and
the Board of Public Works will be
asked to live up to the resolution
passed by the council last summer A.

Fun OF
PRACTICAL MEN
Rev. Herbert S. BigeIow's Latest la
Dor" Sermon.
Says Dist. Atty. Jerome's Advice to
Workingmen is Poison-Dead
Babies an Object Lesson.

Cincinnati, Ohio, May 29.-Rev. Her.
bert S. Bigelow preached a strong
''lab or' sermon to his Vine Street con-
gregation last night, the subject being,
1.-THE Workngman; His Friends and
Enemies He said in part:
Job had his comforters and the work.
ingman has his counselors. In this
gratuitous the latter has proflted as
little as the former. One of the most
cratic of these friends of the work
ingman is the District Attorney of
New York. Recently he said to an
audience of laborers:
Don't accept any wishy-wishy sauff
about the brotherhood of man or eco
nomic forces or inherent rights. Ever
since man has been able to stand on
his hind legs, he has been striving for
all he can get. If you are strong you
win, if you are not, you lose. Distrust
all men who come to you with broad
schemes for settling all social and eco
nomic questions permanently. Can any
scheme be invented which will be a
cure-all for evils to come? Not Oh your
life.
This advice which Mr.. Jerome offers
so jauntily to the working1nan is sheer
poison. No doubt he means well. But
if men were held responsible for the
character of their thoughts of their
thoughts as for their acts, we should
say this advice of Mr.. Jerome were a
case Of malpractice. This advice has
not even the merit Of the Derbyshire
charm for sick cattle which was used
with the words: IF it it does thee no
good, it will do thee no HARM"
A noble sentiment this: away with
wtshy- washy> stuff about the brother
hood of man. Stand on your hind legs
and grab all you can. Might is right"
That is atheism at work. That is the
doctrine that there is no God, applied
to the labor problem Too many men
are guilty Of this practical atheism
who would resent to the charge of being
atheists. Fortunately not all acknow-
lodged atheists are so thorough going
as Mr.. Jerome.
The Commune in New York.
No doubt there is enough latent po-
litical power in the hands Of the la
borers of this nation to take everything
in sight. If they saw fit to use the
strength they have, they could make
New York in 1903 what Paris was in
1893. In single night they could tear
down the Republic and erect the Com
mune. Labor is Sampson. If he were
SO minded he could, with one sweep of
his right arm, brush away pillars of
State and bring down to ruin the good
as we'll as the evil of our social struc-
ture.
What is to hinder the working peo-
pie when they learn their power from
playing the tyrant? This is what we
| might expect if we were to take the ad-
vice Of Mr.. Jerome to stand on their
hind legs and take all they have the
power to take.

IL West Michigan Street.

The Crane & Ordway Company is
recognized by our citizens as an en-
terprise which is of positive advant-
age to the masses of the people
throughout the Northwest because of
the material benefit which it brings to
business generally, and consequently to
labor, which constitutes so large a
percentage of the population.
This company is recognized as one
of the most liberal and progressive in
the city, and are easily the leaders in
their line of business. BY it's fair
treatment with all with whom it has
had business dealings. it has built up
a standing and a business second to
none. They are willing to devote all
their time, money, and energy to any
movement which promises the better
ment of any of the interests of our
great city, and it is to such companies
as the Crane & Ordway Company that
Duluth is indebted for the remarkable
and substantial growth which has been
hers. The employers of this firm are
treated with consideration and courte-
sy, and in this as in their business
transactions justice seems to be the
desire of the company.
