steamship company thi Is week X. that the

sire to run it's boats, at this time.

We will make peace with the masters

not lose dollar when the season is
over" said a. lake captain to the
Labor World, which indicates that he
knows where the seat Of the trouble is.
People are wont to condemn the
masters and pilots for forcing strike
at this time, because they refused to
accept the employers terms of arbitra-
ton. They were made In such a way
that it was impossible to accept them
without complete surrender of their
organization. The lake carriers knew
this, and hence, their proposition. The
lake carriers have had no scruples
about recognizing other organizations
of marine men, and why should they
object to an organization of masters
and pilots?
We predict that the strike will be
settled just as soon as the Lake car
riers are convinced that lake rates will
be maintained for the season. The
most cruel feature of the affair is the
policy of the public press, in attempt
ing to hold the masters and pilots re-
sponsible for the trouble, when they
know full we'll the purpose Of the lake
carriers. 1t is brazenous move to
force high freight rates when the
boats are running, and a cowardly at
tempt to hold the masters and pilots
responsible for condition for which
they are alone responsible. When will
the people get wise?

Speaking of l. .rumors that John
Mitchell will resign to accept high
political appointment from President
Roosevelt, the Mine Workers Journal
says in positive terms: "Mr. Mitchell
has not resigned. is not going to re-
sign, and would not be permitted to
resign. He has not been offered not
would he accept any political office,
needs none, wants none and will take
none"

There isn't very much freight to be
moved these days, and so the lake car
riers have concluded to keep their
boats tied up until there is conges-
ton. When this occurs then they win
get their own rates. 1t costs money
you know to keep a boat in service
without earning anything. This is the
root Of the present lake, trouble, and
do not forget 1t.

PERIL FROM sTRlkE-BREAkERs.

A professional strike breaker visited
us the other day. What his object was
in calling upon us we do not know.
We found after questioning him that
he was at one time a business agent
for an eastern union. He seemed to
be we'll acquainted with the principles
and objects of trade unions.
During his conversation he repeated
ly lauded labor organizations, and we
asked him, how, in view of the fact
that he was so familiar with the vir-
tues Of trade unions, could be consist
emily act as strike-breaker? 1T is
a matter Of business with me-" he re-
piled. Strike breaking is my BUSH
ness. 1t pays good money. There is
lots of excitement in it, and we are
always we'll taken care Of" Yes, we
said, but have you no thought Of the
principle of the thing?
principle nothing" He replied,
Everybody is out for the money these
days. If they can't get me to do their
work, they can get lots Of others who
will. All this talk about honor is rot.
The whole government is corrupt from
stem to core. Every politician is out
for the money. We are living in sell

What a terrible condition Of mind
to be in. This man is but a creature
Of modern commercialism. If this had
been the spirit of mankind from the
beginning Of time, what hopeless
world this would be.
President Eliot Of Harvard may
take some pride in calling this sort of
a man hero, but we shall term him a
cowardly, degenerating, dangerous
citizen. If in the struggles for liberty
the real heroes had possessed the
thoughts Of this man, the world would
today be enjoying no independence Of
any description.
Capitalism has no reason to be
proud of it's off-spring-the strike
breaker. 1t forgets when it creates
him that his influence will in time
have a disastrous effect upon the
country. Let US suppose that all men
were as suspicious of others as our
visitor was what a country would this
be to live in.
The men who go to make up ma
ton should be men of honor and Of
principle with keen sense Of right
and Justice. Take these out Of a ma
ton, and it will soon go to ruin. The
modern trike-breaker is a dangerous
foe to American institutions, and he
should be condemned by every lover
of principle.

PRoFiTiNG BY THE PROPHET.

From the New York Press:
When Joseph F.. Smith, head Of the
Mormon church, was in Washington to
testify before the Smoot investigating
committee he was visited by a young
man who seemed greatly interested in
what the president had to. say about
Mormon affairs: After a lengthy con-
versation President Smith, Who was
much gratified 1at having so attentive
a listener, said: { g.

DULUTH UNIONS SHOULD ELECT
DELEGATES.

In two more weeks the 22nd con-
vention of the Minnesota State Fed
Grafton of Labor will convene at New
Ulm Every other city in the state
is sending larger delegations this year
than it ever did before Duluth is not
sending so many this year as it sent to
Little Falls. We presume that it is
the result Of a desire for economy on
the part of the unions. Will it really
be economy in the end to neglect the
New Ulm convention?
We have before US a list Of the
members Of the Parry" organization
in Minnesota. The number Of en-
ployers on the list, from almost every
city in the state, amazes us. 1t is evil
dent that they are organizing for an
aggressive compaign against union
labor, for that is their only purpose
for organizing. In Minneapolis this
week it is reported that they are to
make determined campaign for the
"Open Shop" This is but the begin
ming of a struggle that they intend to
carry into every city in the state.
There Is nothing like meeting or
ganizatlon with organization. Should
there be a small attendance at the
New Ulm convention, our opponents
will take it for granted that unionism
in Minnesota is deteriorating. While
this is not true, for there are more
unions and a greater membership In
this state than there ever was before,
yet large and enthusiastic gathering
at New Tim will have discouraging
effect upon the Parryites, should they
have any immediate desire to antagon-
lie us.
The Minnesota State Federation has
repeatedly demonstrated it's useful
ness to the labor movement Of Min
nesota, particularly in the smaller
cities where wages are far below those
paid in the larger cities. Local unions
cannot place too much reliance upon
themselves. y;
Regardless of how strong a local
union may be, it's power and 1nflu-
ence are confined to it's own locality.
It does not extend to the unorganized
and cheap labor localities. The great
menace of these cheap-labor localities
to Union and fair-wage localities is
overlooked by the purely local union.
The influence these localities are con-
stantly exerting to lower wages in bet
ter paid districts is lost sight of in
the spirit of sectionalism.
Herein lies the great superiority of
the State Federation Of Labor. 1t is
an organizer; it's sphere of influence
and its power is constantly exerted to
remove 1.-THE cheap labor menace and
improve general conditions.
The security Of fair wages and fair
conditions will not long remain out
side Of the baneful influence Of the
cheap labor localities. It is next to
Impossible 10 organize the WORKERS anu
preserve a union in these localities
without the support of a powerful
state central body. The more small
independent unions there are and the
more affiliated locals there are that
care nothing for conditions outside OF
their own locality, the more rural To-
calities we will have offering chear
labor to employers as an inducement
to take their business from the union
and fair-wage districts.
Let the unions of Duluth bear this
we'll in mind, and elect delegates tc
the New Ulm convention. It will be
money we'll spent.
