Dull th Heights Union I. Men.
Make Good Showing On
=. Labor Day.
Goodly Number Of Citizens are
Members Of Trade
Unions.

Labor Day was celebrated quietly on
Duluth Heights: Some of the people
took in the big picnic at Zenith park,
while others spent the day at Lester
and Oatka Beach. The threatening
weather kept a large number at home.
It is said that there is a greater per
centage of union men on Duluth Heights
than in any other portion OF the city.
At least 80 of the people in this suburb
appeared in the parade Monday: They
were distributed among the following
unions: engineers, plasterers, printers,
cigarmakers, longshoremen, painters,
carpenters, timers, plumbers, fathers
and BARRIERS.
The sentiment on the Heights Is
largely in favor Of unionism. large
number Of workingmen can be counted
who belong to no unions for the reason
that their trades or callings are I'M
organized, and another large number
who are ineligible to membership in
any union, but whose sympathies are
with organized labor. Too it must be
admitted that there are some residents
who are honestly and sincerely opposed
to the objects Of union labor, but this
number is decidedly in the minority.
At the best it can be said that opposi-
ton to union labor is making no head
way in this portion of the city and it
can always be depnded upon to support
labor in any righteous effort.
