AN ALARMING AFFAIR.

Chicago Post:
Her head rested confdingly on his
shoulder, but it was suddenly raised.
whats the matter, George?" she
asked
''Nothing," he said reassuringly.
"But I can hear your heart tinkle''
"Oh, no."
II can, too. George, are you such a
glutton that your heart rings for sup
per?''
Il assure you--"
IT tell you I heard it. There was a
distinct silvery tinkling. George, you'd
better see about that heart
"See a doctor?"
MOO; see an electrician and have
the wires disconnected. + won't marry
a man whose heart rings whenever he's
a little agitated."
But, Mabel, I tell you-''
IT heard it, didn't I? Do you suppose
I'd live with a, man who tinkled unex-
pectedly? Why it sounds as if your
heart had absorbed a Swedish bell
ringer. Have you one Of those variety
stage people enshrined there?'
mabel, it's a, watch your father gave
me-"
"A watch?"
Eyes, one of those new tangled alarm
watches to remind a fellow Of an en-
gagement, but I didn't think he'd be
mean enough to set it for 10 o'clock the
very first night he gave it to me. may
be wrong, Mabel, but it looks to me
like a hint. I believe I'd better be
going"

After a lockout lasting nearly five
months the National Iron Company of
West Duluth has affected a satisfac-
tory settlement with its molders and
the men returned to work Monday.
l.. O'Keefe, travelling representative
of the international Molders' union Of
America, who came here from Cincin-
natl last week, was instrumental in ef-
fecting a settlement of the trouble and
both parties are said to be thoroughly
satisfied with the terms of the agree
ment, which are withheld.
Although the National company en-
ploys about thirty molders during the
busy season, less than half that num-
Der were affected by the strike. The
ten per cent in wages at the iron works
and on October 20 all molders then in
the company's employ walked out.
Boycots were endorsed by the local
and International unions and pickets
posted at the works. Walter M. Ev-
ered,- president and treasurer : of the
company, stated after the settlement,
that the men had carried their fight in
a thoroughly gentlemanly manner.
I'VE had several strike breakers at
the works. said Mr.. Evered, "but they
refused to stay because there was not
enough excitement for them.'
The Iron company secured a tempo
rary restraining order from the dis
trio court compelling the molders to
show cause why an injunction should
not issue preventing further picket duty
and boycotting, Judge H. B. Dibell re-
fused to grant the petition.
Representative of the Duluth Build
ers' exchange and Federated Trades
assembly were appointed as an arbi-
tration committee to bring about a set
telment and they are now relieved of
the duty.
1t was first understood that the nom
union men were to remain, but one Of
the members of the union when asked
about this said:
1.-THE statement is absolutely without
foundation. The non-union men have
been given just six days in which to
leave the shop. The company asked for
a months grace but the time was fin
ally set at a week.
Instead of a ten-hour day with half
a day off on Saturday, we secured a
straight nine-hour day with a minimum
wage scale Of 1888. When we went out
We refused to work under the cut to
$2.70 for nine hours. Later the scale
was placed at SO for ten hours. Under
that scale we would receive thirty
cents an hour, while under the terms
as agreed upon we get thirty-two.
1.-THE half day off on Saturday ap-
plies only to the machine department
and not to the foundry"

The Electrical workers union is be-
hind the proposed electrical inspection
ordinance. The members of the union,
being interested in their trade, and
desiring to see it maintained at the
highest standard, are responsible for it's
introduction in the city council.
They are now prepared to fight for it.
They believe that they are right, and
they expect to enlist the support Of
every employing electrician in the city
before they are through.
On Wednesday the ordinance COM
mittee of the city council held a meet
ing. The meeting was not previously
arranged for. An alleged electrical ex-
pert, w. S. Boyd, desired to be heard,
and after going over the ordinance he
gave as his opinion that it would I'M
doubtedly raisnx fire insurance rates.
He commended the present ordinace,
which is recognized almost by every
practical electrician to be one of the
very poorest in the country.
I'm understand real we'll what promt-
ed Mr.. Boyd to appear before the COM
mittee,' said prominent electrician
yesterday to the Labor World. when
ne championed the present ordinance
he left the ear marks of one Individual
in the city who does not want change.
1t is very strange that whenever the
people of Duluth talk of changing their
fire chief, that the insurance compa-
MES Immediately threaten a raise in
insurance rates. This is an old game,
which I thought was almost worked
out. Now this alleged expert from
Chicago, to further protect Chief Black
and the present ordinance threatens an
increase in the insurance rates. It is
the most inconsistent proposition ever
made to city council. The proposed
ordinance is vast improvement over
the present one. At this time there is
practically no inspection whatever In
fact Chief Blacks inspector can not
give proper attention to the work. In
almost every other city the electrical
inspection is being done under the
supervision of the building inspector
The plan of the proposed ordinance is
to follow out the rules and regulations
of the National Board of Fire Under
writer's. They can not very we'll go
back on their own regulations. pre-
sumo that because of their confidence
in Chief Black, they think that lie is
the only person in Duluth capable of
supervising electrical construction
work. If this is true, we had better
turn over everything to him and elect
him car of this city as we'll as Of the
fire department.
Mr.. Boyd has undoubtedly got his
foot in it. It is the opinion of the La
Dor World, just as it is Of the electrician
quoted above, that Mr.. Boyd had no
authority to speak for his underwriters
The people Of Duluth are willing to do
anything to prevent an increase in in
surance rates, but If we are not mis-
taken they will not submit to the re-
peated interference in our local affirs
by the insurance agents, simply because
a certain Individual continues to hold
a hypnotic influence over them.

The Right to Toll.

Mr.. Gompers, said the Rochester
Post Express of March 10, 1904, "enun-
ciated principle before the house COM
mittee on labor, holding hearings on
the eight hour bill. that has no part in
the political machinery Of a country
consecrated to freedom. I would have
a law he said in reply to a question
whether he would deprive man of the
right to work 10 hours instead of eight
if he desired, to prevent the employ
ment of labor working over eight hours
a day. except where the overtime is
absolutely essential to life and pro-
perty.'
THE point raised is not whether it is
or is not desirable in the interest of
health and morals to limit labor to
eight hours day; it is whether any
many hours as he pleases. We hold
that he should have this right, and that
whoever votes or speaks in favor Of
abridging this right votes and speaks
in opposition to a fundamental princi-
pie of American institutions, namely,
freedom of: contract. 1t is a curious
fact that Mr.. .Gompers, a representative
Of American labor, should be seeking to
limit and destroy this principle; for to
laboring men: ~. -:
=. I'm times past Legislation has limited
their rights In every <Jpossible way, al
ways alleging social welfare in justifi-
cation. So serious has: been this legis-
lation that it has eventually been re-
pealed in the interest of the working
men themselves. We are quite conf
dent that if the eight hour bill should
be passed, not many years would elapse
before men now clamoring for it in
the interest of social welfare would be
clamoring just as loudly to have it re-
pealed. It would stand in the way. of
efforts of men with superior ability
and strength to better themselves"
Compulsory Eight Hour Day.
A compulsory eight hour workday,
says a recent circular of the United
Typothetae, would make it necessary
for the government to pay largely in
creased amounts for carrying out it's
contracts. These largely Increased
amounts would be equivalent to a sub
sidy in the interest Of certain workmen
without any corresponding advantage
1t would make it obligatory for con-
tractors to possess larger capital tc
provide machinery to furnish in a day
Of eight hours the same product that
| can be obtained in the present ordinary
! workday, which is Of greater length
and would, therefore, necessarily re-
strict competition

KING EDWARD "READS" PAPERS
Subscribes to Clipping Bureau and
Learns EVERYTHING.

AS no morning paper is ever printed
in England without containing refer
ence in one form or another to the do
ings of King EdWard-evening and
weekly newspapers very rarely, whilst
periodicals and magazines Of all sorts,
week by week and month by month,
Systematically print paragraphs and
articles about him-one might well
imagine that it is the easiest thing in
the world to write things about the
king which he will never see, says the
New York News.
But the truth is that if there is any
real occasion for him, for any reason, to
see them, the chances are heavily in
favor Of his doing so.
continental press. very closely, and
glances through at least one daily pa
per, and very often more, every MORN
ing. To facilitate this process being
thoroughly carried out, his majesty
subscribes to two of the best press clip
ping agencies. who forward every day
every line of printed matter that ap-
pears in any paper concerning him.
Two instances will show how keen is
the kings scrutiny Of the papers in this
way. Shortly after his accession there
appeared in one or two journals per-
sonal paragraphs of a kind which were
not in the least offensive, but which the
king did not consider, under the cir
cumstances, in the best of taste, and
which he did not like. Forthwith a
commandment as a ''request''-was
sent around to the offices to refrain in
the future from the publication of such
matters.
Again, quite recently, while he was
on the continent, a portrait Of one OF
his 11ajesty's friends was published In
slx-penny illustrated weekly, with
the wrong name underneath.
Immediately the king had a, letter
written by one Of his secretaries and
dispatched to the editor in London, in
which he expressed his surprise and re-
greet that so usually accurate journal
should have permitted itself to fall into
such an error.

mittee consisting of w. E. McEwen, W.

Tomlin and Mrs. VIM. Donaldson is
busy soliciting funds. 1t will require
$3.50 to do the necessary moving and

Erection have agreed to give $3.50 of
this amount. 1t will then be the duty
of the people on the Heights to raise
$500. The committee have already got
ten $155. 1t is understood that the ladies
have raised $50, and an effort is being
made to induce the Calender circle to
raise $50 more. If this is done it will
be necessary for the committee to secure
but an additional $50. This ought to be
an easy task. It will depend largely
upon the generosity and good will Of
the residents. AS. the Heights people
