.DENS Of immortality
ARE CHINESE JOINTS
Employers Will First Organize an Az.
soei$tion. Will Then BE Ready to
Talk. Union to Start a Big Fight.
viii Appeal to Respectable People.
Chinese Joints are Dens Of Vice and
immortality.

The Cooks and Walters Union will
begin determined fight against
Chinese restaurants unless the propri-
etors agree to pay union wages. A
meeting of the union and the propri-
etors was held last Monday evening in
the Kalamazoo hall and the matter
was discussed for several hours.
The union is prepared to- inaugurate
its campaign Immediately. but the
proprietors asked for time, as it was
proposed that they organize a restaur-
ant keepers association. After the
new association is formed the employ
Sers will be ready to=talks business with
the union ]=5 ss s
e The matter was first talken Il some
time ago when an endeavor was made
to force the Cinnamon to pay a Union
scale Of wages to their cooks and wait
ers. No favorable results were obtain
ed and as consequence the cooks and
walters union of the city will join
hands with the restaurant keepers who
do pay the scale.
The cooks and Walters union will
ask the people Of Duluth to pass up
the Chinese restaurants for several
very commendable reasons,
Girls employed in Chinese restaur-
ants earn at waiting on table but $500
per week. In union restaurants they
earn $500 per week.
The union will be able to show that
some Of these restaurants are but mere
dens Of vice. and that girls who are
paid very poor wages make more in
another manner.
1t will be able to prove that in one
instance at least a Chinese employer
discharged his cashier, because she
would not stoop to his immoral wishes.
II this Is true, and we have no reason
to believe that it is not. is it not the
duty of all respectable people to aid in
the work Of the Cooks and Walters un-
! ion? Do the people want another
Chinatown in Duluth? If not then dis
courage all patronage to these resorts.

One OF the foibles of Suburban people
is to gossip. Indeed it would be rather
dull pastime on Duluth Heights If some
people. could not" occasionally get to-
gether and discuss the weaknesses and
errors of their ,neighbors.
The Labor World is NOT eoinr To rivo
a lecture on this subject, for the coat
no doubt fits its editor as we'll az any
one else. But We are very Jealous OF
gossiping people. We want a monon-
oily zon this business. So long as we
give a column or two each week to Dill
luth Heights matters we believe that
all Of the gossiptng should be done in
these columns. When you see 1t here
rest assured that it is the truth or at
least as close to the truth as our i'm
aginative pencil can make it. II ner-
haps Is as hard for newspaper to tell
a story just as it, should be told, as it
is for some people to do SO.
The kind of gossiping that comes
particularly to our mind at this time.
is that petty kind that does the ros-
siper no good and the victim much
harm.

gossip of an envious person. Mrs

harmless gossipers, but that kind that

 ing generosity with prudence. The need had passed. As he spoke of money matters I became slowly aware that my personal expenses were to be any thing that I might choose to make them; that the trust fund was no lon ger precious for it's yield, but because my mother had given 1t to me.
 When we were lodged in a hotel with a luxury that appealed to me. es- pecially after prison hospital in the Transvaal and the staterooms of third rate steamers, he told me definitely what provision he had planned to make for me, and sat silent, hanging on to the arms of my chair as if they had been the handles by which I gripped the reality of all this, that it might. not fly away into dreamland. There was nothing that might not have inferred from his letters, and yet the spoken words were worth an ocean of ink, backed, as they were, by the spectacle of my fathers renewed youth and ab- solute freedom from care.
 Could I meditate the crime of disap- pointing this man in the best hope Of his remaining years? I was so far from it as to be occupied principally with anxiety lest Sibyl should not care for me. I took high resolutions to be a good fellow and one that she would find worthy. I ceased to be distressed by the thought of what she might lack in looks and began modestly to consid- CT my own deficiencies. The chances were that she would find me rough in my ways. I had gone little into soci- ety while in Europe. My position had been to break rocks in laboratory, and South Africa had surely not i'm proved me except in size. There was at least third more of me than there had been, but the quality was no bet ter. I might frighten away some of my rivals, but one of them was cler gyman and protected by the cloth.
 We had a delightful day together, driving in the afternoon, and dining with great good cheer in the park, with the scented trees for walls and the mild stars of June lighting the infinite alti- tude of the roof. As luck would have it, some fellows I had known in col lege were dining there and they joined us My father was the best fellow at the table, the life of the party, giving a fine, high spirit to all the talk, and was proud of him.

 The tears came into my eyes as he spoke. He has such strong and man ly sincerity and such voice. I inher- ited enough of it to sing fairly well, but my ordinary speech, compared to his, is like the March wind toying with 8 loose shingle on barn. R
 ''I'n go back with you," said I. "I'm impatient to see Sibyl."
 He looked at me with quick flash of pleasure, and felt like one who has paid something on account of 8 debt. The sensation was so agreeable that rushed on recklessiy.
 Its singular said I, 'Athat fellow so susceptible as I am should have knocked around the world for almost five years and come home with his heart absolutely unscarred. My little fiirtations and follies have hurt neither myself nor any one else.''

But I'm sure you've always been straightfor- ward and honest

 I couldn't help feeling relieved. If Sibyl had gone upon visit at such a time it was clear that she could not entertain any sentimental memories Of me. There was little reason why she should. I had never been especially kind to her. Indeed the thought came tn me edged black with remorse that I had done nothing to make the chiId's life happy under my fathers roof. Doubtless she remembered me very justly as selfish brute and viewed my fathers obvious wish regarding our fu- ture with feelings much more unpleas- ant than my own.
 The subject was not inviting, and gladly turned from it to tell the story of my adventures. Thus the time was occupied until we reached the city. Presently, when we were free of the customs inspectors, began to observe an indednable and agreeable difference in my fathers manner from that which I remembered. It became percephble when we discussed my stay in New York and my business there, which was connected with small trust fund, my own through inheritance from my mother. My father was one who had by nature liberal hand with money, yet he had been accustomed to make every dollar work for him in some in- vestment and had thus often been pressed for ready cash.
