open sewer.
Here, in the very heart Of the
country, I expect to find abundance Of

Too often I find neither about the

SAYS "LABORERS LACK BLUE
BLOOD"

Harrison Smalley. instructor in the de-
partment of economics in the Univer-
s1ty of Michigan, has attracted wide
attention by his frank declaration that
the effort to show all men were created
equal is pure assumption. 1--WE have
come to underestimate the fact" he
says. that some men, as some animals,
are lnfericr to Others. The capitalist is
the labo: er's physical superior. The
lsborer is at a disadvantage in this
world because among other things of
his physical inferiority. BY this I mean
certain kind of physical inferiority:
not that the capitalist is stronger in
sinews, muscles or l6ngS. The laborer
has not the warm, rich blood which de-
notes physical superiority. This same
blue blood, which thinhed out, stands,
Of course, for inferiority, both mentally,
physically, and morally. Some men
are cart horses worth s5 and other mein
belong naturally to the higher order of
beings" "

Daring to Join Labor Union.

Hillsboro, O.:-The workers have re-

EMPLOYERS RANKS
ARE BEING BROKEN

PHILADELPHIA, June 3.-This was
a good day for the textile strikers In
this city.
Eight firms granted the demands Of
the workers, and the ranks Of the
strikers were swelled by the worknien
in several mills going out. The three
most important breaks on the side Of
the employers was the granting of the
55-hour week and an increase in pay
by Lightenberger & Co., manufacturers
of ingram carpets, Samuel Diswick,
yarn manufacturer, and the Franklin
vile Dye works. The employees of the
carpet and yarn concerns asked for a
55-hour week and ten per cent in
crease in wages and the dyers asked
for the shorter week and an increase
to s13 week.
The strikers declare this break port
ends an early settlement of the strike
because the manufacturers have Ge-
clared all along they were unable to
grant an increase in wages.
The Llchtenberger com any is the
first ingram carpet company to grant
both the shorter working hours and th4
increase in wages. The other firms who
have given way to the men were only
asked to grant the men shorter week
without increase in pay.
The firms that conceded the demands
of the men included two dress go,ds
concerns, one dye works, one finishing
mill. one hosiery and upholstery mill,
one yarn mill, one damask mill and one
carpet mill.
Those that vert on strike today, in
cluued three spinning mills, two hosiery
mills, one upholstery, one knitting mill
and one warp dressing concern.
Another textile industry brought
into conflict was the hair cloth mills.
There are only six of this class in the
city and all the Weavers employed IN
them quit work today because they
were not given the 55-hour week.
The knotters at one of the upholstery
mills were granted the 55-hour week
but as the weavers in the same plant
were not given the same concessicu,
the knotters refused to return to work
The Buckeye Hosiery company Offer
ed it's employees a 54-hour week on the
condition that they work ten hours on
the first five days Of the week with A
half holiday on Saturday. The offer
was rejected.

Will Be Splendidly Represented at Little
Falls by Thirty-hve Able and
Enthusiastic Men,
Most of Them Will Get Good Committee
Appointments V. Johnson to be
on Constitution Committee.

Duluth will send it's largest delega-
tion to the State Federation Of Labor
convention at Little Falls. The Trades
Assembly will have five representa-
tives. Henry Perrault will be unable
to attend, and Mr.. J. A. Barron, the
secretary of the Assembly, will at
tend in his stead. Mr.. Barron came to
Duluth one year ago from Port Huron,
Mich. He has attended conventions
of the Michigan Federation of Labor
and is thoroughly familiar with the
work of state organizations. Since
coming to Duluth, Mr.. Barron has ad-
vanced in the local movement until he
now holds the position of secretary of
the Trades Assembly.
Joseph Pratts, the popular reading
clerk of the Trades Assembly will at
tend his second convention of the Fe-
deration from the Trades Assembly.
Mr.. Pratts is a we'll known member of
the Cigarmakers' union, and is on sew
eral important committees in the
Trades Assembly, He will serve on
the resolutions committee at the con-
Vention.
A. V. Johnson, the financial secretary
Of the Trades Assembly, will be a
member of the Constitution committee.
1t Will be before this committee that
the hard fight for the report on the
Political amendments will be made.
Mr.. Johnson served as alderman of
the Fifth ward in this city for one
term, and is now member of the Fire
Commission. He is financial secre-
tary Of the Trades Assembly, and
president of the Clerks union, and
more than this, he is one of the best
, men in the labor movement.
S. NJ Kelley was elected to attend
the convention but the fact that he
gave up his seat as a delegate at. the
last meeting may cause a. fuss among
ire deIeEaIe from tina Il BOD Ilfe
Assembly has taken a position on the
question of the obligation of delegates,
and Mr.. Kelley has refused to abide
by the majority vote of the delegates
Mr. Kelley believes he is right in his
contention. He holds that the oath
should only apply to delegates here
after elected, ard that the present del
cgates having taken an obligation pre-
viously should not or can not be forced
to take the new obligation. The Car
penters' union has supported Mr.. Kiel-
ley in his contention and lively scrap
is expected. There is no meeting OF
the Assembly until after the conven-
ton, and it may be necessary to call
n special to determine whether Mr.
KELLEY is eligible to serve as a dele
gate to the convention. He is an old
soldier, and a fighter of long exper-
ience and so merry battle may be
expected.
Fred McKelvey is the fifth delegate
from the Trades Assembly. He is a
member Of the Cooks union, and is
one Of the most active men in the loca
