no abuse of free speech to publish facts

discussing Judge Gray's opinion as to
secondary boycotting of men who,

attention to the fact that the alleged

Gray commission and the Federal court

F.: Waste During Strike.
New Haven, Conn.,, Oct 9-The
strike in the Canadee Rubber shop here
illustrates the folly of big employing
concerns adopting the policy of having
no dealing with any labor union. A
strike occurred just the same, and there
was no organization for the rubber
company to deal with, only a rabble
fully, determined they would not ac-
cept the extra burden attempted to be.
put on their shoulders. No offers or
propositions could be made for all ad-
justment except such as came from the
company, which were promptly rejected
by the workers. So much time was
thus frittered away that ten thousand
pairs of shoes in the works went to
waste. -:

T. r.. Larkin, a member of the Exc
cutive Board Of the International Union
of the Flour and Cereal Employees
union is in Duluth visiting the unions
in the interest OF the striking mill en-
*ployes of Minneapolis. He: arrived here
Monday evening and began work i'm:
mediately. In company with the Editor
of the Labor World lie visited the
Building Trades Council in session in
the Kalamazoo building. The council
received Mr.. Larkin very enthusiastic
ally and assured him of their moral
and financial support. The members
agreed that during the strike none of
them would use any Minneapolis flour
or cereals. This action was prompted
by the delegates themselves. Mr.. Lar
kin said that his union would not boy
colt the products of the mills until
every means Of settlement had failed.
On Tuesday evening he visited the
carpenters and painters and'the unions
were unusually interested in his case.
On Wednesday the cigarmakers and
leatherworkers listened to Mr.. Larkin
and both unions. responded literally.
Thursday evening the plumbers, en-
gineers and builders laborers were WIS.,
tied, and on Friday evening the Trades
Assembly and lathers,' also the brick:
layers were induced to take up the
millers fight.
Mr. Larkin is an enthusiastic union
man; a splendid speaker, and a hard
worker. During the strike he has been
working night and day in the interest
of his people. He is not what the aver
professional agitator, but a hard wrok-
ing 1aboring man. He is as much inter-
ested in the strike and it's success as
any man I'm the mills because it means
his bread and butter. He says that the
latest reports. from Minneapolis st>*S
that the men are just as determined
now as they were the first day of the
strike. "There is not a sign Of wavering.
While: the employers very strongly OPP
pose the strike yet it is reported that
w. D. Washburn, who was alwayl
favorable to his men, will take a hand
in the matter very soon. The mill
employers in their determination to
crush organized labor have not meas
ured the results very we'll. If they sue
coed thousands Of barrels of their flour,
and as many cases of their cereal foods
will go to waste. Organized labor will
ultimately be compelled to wage boy
colt against the mills. The result of
this will not only be disastrous to the
mill but to the City Of Minneapolis as
WE'LL"
The State Federation Of Labor fund
Is growing rapidly. Unions are res,
ponding surprisingly well, and it is ex-
pected that by next week the mill en-
ployes unions will be given neat sum
of money.

Briefs Of Interest.

The heavy rains Of the week made it
decidedly interesting for some Of the
residents of the Heights who reside in
the lower portions of the suburb. The
culverts from the open drains had be-
come blocked which caused a flood,
and the water backed up dangerously
close to some of the homes. Had not
the rain subsidized when, it did great
damage would have resulted. The
Board of Public works had a crew OF
men engaged the next. morning IL
opening the bitches and doing general
repairs.
The people of Duluth Heights are
very much wrought up over the past
negligence of city officers in looking
after the wants of the suburb.
The Board of Public Works cannot
be held wholly responsible, because the
funds allowed for making necessary
repairs about the city are very limited.
AS result many important repairs are
neglected.
Any ordinary corporation allows a
sufficient sum each year for wear and
tare, depreciation and repairs, but a city
like Duluth appears to overlook this
very important matter. 1t is foC this
reason that the people expect their
aldermen to uphold any effort to secure
an adequate sum in the Board of Pub
lie Works fund for the proper main
tenance of the city.
The people of Duluth Heights will be
heard from further ON this matter UNI
less their wants are appeased.
