McCULLEY At MOLpERS,
Makes Good Impression With Local
Union on Non Union Stoves.

The molders union had a busy ses-
sion Tuesday evening. e. W. McCulley
the national representative from Erie,
Pa, was represented and he gave the
union the benefit Of some valuable ex-
periences in unionisn.
Mr.. McCulley dwelt on" the necessity
of aiding the union to discourage the
sale of Radiant Home stoves until
such times as the manufacturers agre-
ed to employ union molders.. He said
that for several years the molders have
dealt with the Manufacturers Defense
Association, and in that time they had
secured an increase of wages amount
ing to 20 per cent. All of the large
manufacturers in the country were
members of this association except the
Black & Germer company, manufacture
ers of the Radiant Home stoves. This
firm is employing non-union men at
wages 20 per cent less than it's nearest
competitors. The Kelly Hardware
company are agents for the stove in
Duluth, and Mr.. McCulley said that
he had a conference with the firm on
Tuesday afternoon, and he would do
nothing until he had heard definitely
from them. !:
He urged the union to return their
delegates to the Trades Assembly
which was done. He also asked that
the union affiliate with the state Fed
Grafton of Labor. "a -.

A London dispatch, speaking Of the
coming elections in Germany, says:
The Socialists have already opened
the present campaign with the cry of
thread usury,'' and the present indi-
cations are that this cry will have a
tremendous effect on the country and
will result in a far larger Socialist rep
resentation in the next Reichstag. So
strong is the tendency that the parties
calling themselves Estate preserving'
are filled with apprehension as to the
result. The kaiser himself has made
two speeches designed to break the
lines Of the Socialists by diverting part
| of the labor vote to other parties but
no one believes that his voice will out
| weigh the recent action of the reich
stag. It is being dinned into the ears
Of the laboring population in every cor
ner Of the empire that the price of
their food is to be raised in the interest
of the aristocratic land owners. and
the Socialists themselves estimate that
they will gain not less than thirty seats
in the new reichstag.
