SOUTH IS BEST FOR NEGRO.
SAYS DR.. LYMAN ABR0T

gates to the educational conference con-
tinue to arrive OH every train and az
to numbers and interest it is already
clear that the gathering will be a sue
cess.
Among the delegates is DR.. LYMAN
Abbot, who this morning gave an in
teresting view on the negro question.
He said, among other things:
Il think in the main the relations
between the blacks and the whites in
the south are better than they are in
the north; that doors to industrial re-
latlons are more open to the negro in
the south than in the north, that if
he is Industrious. honest and reason
ably intelligent. he has, on the whole
better chance in the south than in
the north; and to put the whole thing
In a few sentences; if We're a negro
[ would rather live in a southern than
in a northern state
II must add the qualification. Or
Abbot continued; that probably there
are exceptional communities in the
south where the negro is subjected to
exceptional prejudices and possibly ex-
ceptional communities in the north
where he would enjoy exceptional priv
ileges."

Ramsey came to Minnesota in 1S49 as
territorial governor. In 1860 he was
elected the first governor of the new
state or Minnesota. He enjoyed the
distinction Of being the first governor
TO offer troops to President Lincoln
when Fort Sumter was fired nnon
Ills Offer was accepted, and the famous
First Minnesotas were immediately Or.
ganlzed. If for no other reason tho
fact that Governor Ramsey offered tho
hrst troops to defend the Union alone
made him historical character, But
without this distinction his name
would have gone down into h;s+orx
just the same. During the many In

early Gays ne played a noble part. He
was one OF the builders Of this great
commonwealth which is becoming the
richest of the states. Since his retire.

lived in quietude, honored, admired
and respected by all the people of the
state. Minnesota has produced Soma

Having failed to crush trade-union-
ism on this coast by direct attack, the
Employers Association of San Fran
cisco has cunningly thrown itself back
of new scheme for inpuring the work.
ing classes and weakening their in
dustrlal organization. Acting on the
theory that unions are likely to do.
cline when there is graf competition
for employment, because of the over
plus of workers, this powerful associa-
ton of capitalists is studiously seek
Ing to encourage the coming to this
state of great numbers Of persons under
the necessity of continuously working
for their daily bread-persons whose
presence here will overload the labor
market and produce distressing condi-
lions. Leading members of the En-
ployers' Associa ton have become mem
bers of the so-called California Promo
ton Committee and within that COM
mlttee have stood for the distribu-
ton throughout the country of an inn
mense number of circulars containing
masses of false and misleading state
ments concerning labor conditions in
this state-statements cunningly cal
culated to draw hither such classes Of
persons as would best work out the
purposes. Of the Employers Associa-
ton.
The efforts Of the employers to at
tract large numbers of workingmen
to this section are being effectually
seconded by the transactiontinental
railways, which are also spreading
broadcast pamphlets and circulars con-
tanning misleading statements concern
ing the labor market here, and are
making exceedingly low railroad rates
from Eastern and Missouri River
points to California. In some sections
of neutrality-suspicious. the Southern
part-the extraordinary number of
workingmen arriving daily is fast
creating condition which not only
menaces the welfare of the organized
workers, but promises to soon become
a great public danger, as the major
number of these new arrivals are with
out funds, and the deplorable results
of their Intellectual efforts to obtain
remunerative employment may be
readily, foreseen.

THE kNUDSEN.EDEN MISTAKE.

Tie knuusen- Eden company have
apparently entered the freight hand
ling business with no recognition of
the rights Of the men who have worked
on the docks of Duluth for years. 1t
seems to be their aim to destroy the
union of freight handlers at this port.
In this they will fail. The Freight
Handlers union was here before
knudsen- Eden ever thought of going
into the business, and it will continue
to be here long after they are passed
and gone. This company, for the very
best business reasons, should recog-
nize the freight handlers union at once.
1t is new in the business. Did it ever
think what it costs to fight union Ia
Dor? Bigger game than Knudsen- Eden
have long ago come to the opinion that
fighting labor is folly. For this reason
the maritime employers over the entire
chain Of lakes, with but few exceptions,
have treated with labor through it's
organization in a most satisfac Glory
manner. The Lake Carriers Associa-
ton has contracts with the longshore-
mems union, and has fully recognized
the union. Men III the same position
as Mr.. Knudsen in other ports have
come to deal directly with the union,
and great good has resulted to both
The freight handlers union holds
that it did not know that the new firm
WAS bidding on work this year. It
had sent committees to every one usu-
ally engaged in that business, and all
of them had agreed to figure their con-
tracts, based on higher wage scale.
Had the union known that the Knud-
sen-Eden company were to be in the
field it would have sent committee to
this firm before a bid was made. Mr..
knudsen says that he never knew that
there was d union here, but Mr.. Eden
did. So this excuse is rather fimsy.
The fact appears upon their own
statements that they want to ignore
the old time dock workers, and in this
they are being aided and abetted by
certain official of the railroad, who is
using the railroad company to serve
his purpose, but without the knowledge
of the head officials, who are unac-
Iuaintcd with the true facts in the
case.
The old dock workers have some
rights in this case, that even Knudsen-
Eden must respect. Working on the
docks is the only trade they have. #
is their business. Men with money
may try to claim it, but labor has the
greater right, and this must be recoc
nized. Knudsen-E Eden have no doubt
learned by this time that loading boats
is trade unto itself, for several boats
have shipped far short in their cargoes
because inexperienced men do not
know how to load boats.
