ORGANIZER SHOT
FROM AMBUSH
Warning From "Committee" to Cease
Trying to Organize Cigarmakers
is Ignored and Attack Follows.
The >Trust lis: Blamed.

Palatka, Fla, Apr. FLAMES Wood,
an organizer for the Cigarmakers' In
ternational Union, who has been
warned to leave Tampa, and cease his
efforts to unionize the cigarmakers Of
this state, on pain of death, was shot
here by two men, one white and the
other colored. Wood refused. to heed
the warning and an attack followed on
the first opportunity when he came
here on business.
The cigar trust is making frantic
efforts to stop the work of organization
among the cigarmakers in the south,
and as the American Federation of
Labor at it's last convention decided
that all workers in the south should be
organized, the shooting of Wood is
liable to stir up intense indignation
throughout the country.
1.-THE shooting means that the life of
a labor organizer is not safe in that
section" said President Perkins of the
International Union. The manufa ctur-
ers in Florida threaten, intimidate and
murder Spanish workmen who attempt
to organize, but that sort of thing will
not be tolerated by our Interna tional
Union. Some one will have to suffer
for this outrage if money can do it..
We will protect our organizers at any
COST"
Wood was not seriously injured; one
bullet went through his arm and his
watch stopped another.

to be the most comprehensive ever

Hon. Jacob A. Cantor, president of

There are questions involving num-

First, the sanitary condition Of dwell

board will go very far toward reducing
the morality and improving the health
of the city.
Second, small public parks are alb
solutely essential as breathing spots
for the public, and a park once estab-
lished should never be closed, nor it's
acreage reduced.
Third, public schools should be built,
so as to offer all possible advantages
for light and ventilation to the pupils,
and there should be enough of them,
too. The building of these schools
should anticipate rather than follow
in the wake of population.
Fourth, publis lighthouses should be

Without doubt the meeting Of the
city council on Monday evening last
was one Of the most interesting, and
at the same time the liveliest held in
some time. The meeting started out
with a letter from the Zenith Furnace
company, urging the city to enter into
negotiations with the company with a
view of using gas manufactured as a
by-product of coke. The city will
cease the business of gas manufacture,
but it will continue to furnish the peo-
pie with light and fuel at the lowest
possible cost through the municipal
| ownership system.
If the city accepts the offer, the
| Zenith company proposes to build fifty
modern by-product coke ovens on the
blast furnace property at West Du-
luth. It is confidently believed that if
the city will take the gas product Of
this system, the company can so re-
duce the cost of coke as to permit the
Duluth concern to successfully compete
with manufacturers elsewhere.
The matter of granting additional
liquor licenses on the Bowery is always
| ripe question in the council. Anti
saloon people say that there are too
| many there, while saloon men, all over
the city hold that there are enough.
They say that with the high rent
! caused by the demand for saloon
rooms, together with the weekly pay
| ments to the brewers it is almost i'm
possible to make very much money
| in legitimate trade.
The council passed resolution de-
claring itself against granting any ad
ditional licenses in the Bowery dis
| trict.
The Municipal Labor Bureau, in spite
| of all the opposition to it, in and out
of the council, still continues to make
| the most satisfactory reports. The
| bureau furnished employment to ATS
people during the past three months.
This was a gain Of Al per cent over the
same period last year. Not so bad is
| it? Still there are people who would
wish to see the city abolish the blu.
reau, and again place workingmen who
seek employment from such agencies
at the mercy of private sharks.
Duluth may own a municipal paving
plant before long. The idea has
strong hold on some members Of the
council, and the mayor is one of it's
| strongest friends. While almost every
| person one meets on the street is an
! expert on paving, there are but few
| who really know very much about this
subject. One thing is certain, the
majority of our people favor utilizing
