Of Colorado, and law and order never
had a more bitter opponent.
Samuel Gompers, the Grand Old
Man" of the labor movement received
an endorsement in San Francisco last
Saturday that comes too seldom to
the faithful servant of the children of
toll.
The refusal of the American FEEDER
alton of Labor to commit itself on
socialistic policy championed by GER
tain socialists whose fidelity to the
labor movement is questioned will re-
dound to the everlasting credit Of clean
trade unionism and progressive social
ism.
The moment a labor advocate can
discern the difference between the
political and economic side Of the la
come of real use to the workingman
in movement tending to improve his
home and working conditions
Things do not look bit rosy for
Senator Clapp. The country papers
throughout the state seem to take con-
siderable pride in reminding him that
his action at the State convention was
responsible for the defeat of the Re-
publican candidate for Governor.
Organized labor will not bother it.
self very much over the candidacy Of
Senator Clapp. Last winter he pur-
posely remained away from a meet
ing Of the labor committee of the
United States Senate to evade voting
On the Eight Hour Bill. Had he been
present and voted in the affirmative
the bill would have reached the
Senate. AS it was it died a bornine
| in the committee. Senator Clapp
played into the hands Of the Par
| ryites.' He may now take some plea
| sure looking up his friends to help
him out of bad boat.
It is said that If Clapp can not make
good showing on the first ballot be-
fore Republican Legislative eau
| Gus, that Frank Kellog, legal repres-
entative in Minnesota of the Rockefel-
e,
and that the Duluth delegation will
give him their support. Our delega-
ton can always be depended upon to
deliver the goods to Standard Oil at
any old time.
Here's hoping that John Stone Par
Gee and Emil schmied, our old friends,
will win out with the Red Wing Daily
News. Both gentlemen have an abun-
dance Of courage and brains, coupled
with good business ability. Red Wing
! Is one Of the most enterprising cities
| in the state and there is every reason
to believe that the new paper will be
given generous support by all of the
people there.
Just to show how easy it is for new
deputy sheriff's to make monkeys Of
themselves. We clip the following from
news account Of the strike at CHS
holm.
Tuesday afternoon the deputies at
the Monroe were given quite a scare.
About $ o'clock in the afternoon while
several guard were in 5s=Ikillorin e
Phtlbin,s camp awaiting :develo
the engines and shovels. sudde My be-
gan loud and 3protacted whistllngs.
It had been arranged that this: should
be the signal for help should the strik-
ers -re-appear and naturally the depu-
ties believed that trouble was coming.
Every man jumped for a gun and soon
was out looking for the strikers. Then
it was discovered that the whistles had
been blown as a fire alarm. B shaft
house Of the Monroe mine had caught
fire from an unknown source and
burned quite fiercely for a time until
extinguished by a bucket brigade
formed by the miners. The damage to
the shaft was only nominal"
Our good friend, Ed. Clagott, retir-
ing sheriff Of Mile Laos county is a
candidate for Sergeant at arms of the
house. Every member Of the St. Louis
county delegation who wants to win
our uadying friendship, and at the
same time help one of the best men
In Minnesota, will lose no time in vot-
ing for Claggott.
