RUSSIA IS PROGRESSING.

Within the last few years the Russian
government has been enacting laws
favoring the laboring people, 1t has
provided that all factories and mill
owners shall contrib butte to hospitals
and give medical assistance for their
workmen. There are labor pensions and
labor insurance both for death and ac-
cidents. There are also mutual labor
insurance companies for permanent and
temporary disablements, and one or two
old age, insurance companies. "

Reduced Wages From $500 to
$1.75 Which Was Accepted
Without Protest. Company
Then Forced Further Reduc-
tion to $1.65 Which Caused
Strike.

The strike of the Drake & Stratton
strippers at Eveleth was the sole topic
or discussion in local circles this week.
The shooting by the sheriff into the
1H-advlsed strikers is commended by
some and criticised by others. It is
very hard to get any information from
anyone relative to the affair. The Fin
landers will not say anything, and of
course the sheriff and his deputies are
willing to tell their side of the story.
Sheriff Butchart says that he was be-
ing attacked by the crowd and there
was nothing left for him to do but to
shoot in self defense. Residents of Eve
1eth, at least some of them, claim on the
other hand that cooler judgment would
nave prevented any shooting whatever.
influences are now at work to secure
complete investigation of the affair."
AS to the strike itself, Indignation
against Drake & Stratton runs high
among all Of the business men. Senator
RI. B. Hawkins, one of thelargest stock
holders OF the firm, is at this time the
most unpopular man on the Iron rang
es. Everyone who pretends to know
anything about conditions there claim
that the firm was unwarranted in re-
ducing wages at this time.
Last year strippers received $500 per
day. This spring they returned to work
on a basis of $1.75. The men accepted
the reduction with but little protest
Seeing that the reduction was taken
SO calmly and ascertaining that there
were hosts Of idle men on the ranges
the firm forced a further reduction to
$1.6O, which is far below a living wage
This is where the business men of Eve
1eth find the most complaint SEN
ator Hawkins has always paraded as a
friend to labor. Were it a question of
close contract there might be some
excuse for a reduction, but Drake &
Stratton are stripping ore on the same
contract and for the same price as they
did when they were paying labor $500
| a day.
It is. well known that Senator Haw-
kins, in a Duluth place Of business not
long ago, boasted that he made over
T $40, 900: a year with the Drake & STRAIT

Senator Hawkins, One of the
Largest Stockholders in
Company Boasts That He
Melted $4,000 Last Year.
Evident That Wage Reduc-
ton Was Uncalled For.

Senator Hawkins has stood in the
state legislature of Minnesota and as
serted that there ought to be peace be.
tween capital and labor. He has
praised every effort along this line. He
has commended labor leaders and pub
lie men who have acted in a conser-
vative manner in the discussion of la
Dor problems He has stood before the
public as an exponent of the "Get to-
gether policy in labor disputes.
Wouldn't it be good thing to give up
just portion of that $4,000 annuity,
and put it on the wages of the men2
Senator Hawkins is getting too much
for his efforts and his men are getting
all together too little. If labor and cap
ital are partners and should share the
fruits Of industry with good faith and
good feeling, then it is up to Senator
Hawkins to yield from his exalted pos
ition.
This labor question is not one sided.
The fault is not all the laborers. Cap
italists do encroach on labor. and some-
times labor in it's madness, destroys
capital. Such is the work of ignorance
and evil passions. However far such
strife may be carried, it must inevitably
result in mutual injuries and health can
only be restored by obtaining the rec
ognition of the full rights and OBJ
legations of each. Senator Hawkins,
by his action at this time evidently be-
lieves in that false philosophy which
says that hatred and retaliation are
the normal relations of capital to labor,
and the mutual distrust and hurtfulness
are inevitable in all Of the develop
ments of the mining industry. Such a,
belief is sightless. It is this cruel,
shallow selfshness of capital that is
responsible for the unrest and discon-
tent Of today. People may blame the
poor, ignorant. imported Finlander
miner for disregarding the law and
turning upon his tyrant, but when they
scratch deeper than the surface they
will find that primarily their masters
are responsible.
We take this side of the question be-
cause there are other papers to take
the other side. Other papers will dis
cuss the effect W e 81 diseuss the .cause.=

would ask man to work for less than
a living wage, and every fair-minded
person knows that no man, however
economical, can live on such wage as
$1.60 per day. For Senator Hawkins
strippers to strike against such wage
is no surprise. No class of men, no
matter where they Come from, would
submit to such a reduction without
a protest.
Is there another side to the question? :?
If so, the men themselves ought to
know it. We venture the assertion that
no member of the Drake & Stratton
company ever took the pains to tell
the men there was another side.
The riot during the strike is not only
deplored, but condemned by every SYM
pathizer of the strikers. But the COM
pany cannot be free from some Of the
responsibility. They have gloried in
going to certain portions of Europe to
secure men to work about the mines,
simply because; they were more sub

AT the final session of the Transconti-
mental Passenger associations meeting
yesterday morning it was voted to make
no change in the system Of handling
clergy half-fare permits, this action haV-
ing been forecasted in Wednesdays s
G b G.
Before it was finally voted to let the
national bureau continue to take care Of
the clergy there was a red-hot discussion
on the question. Many of the delegates
thought that the association should have
full charge of its own permits and that
the bureau for the transcontinental lines
should be independent of the other asso-
ciations
If the Southwestern and Western Pas
senger associations concur in the action
OF the tranScontinental association there
VIII be no change in the method of caring
for clergymen for at least another year.
1t is probable that these two other or
ganizationS will take the same action as
the tranScontinental association.
After the clergy bureau question had
been disposed of the passenger men de-
voted the balance of the session to strict
ly routine matters. The division Of col
onist rates was one of the questions up
for consideration.
Shortly after noon the meeting adjourn
ed and last night the passenger officials
left for their homes Three or four of the
forty who We're present will remain in St.
Paul until Sunday night. The next meet
ing of the association will be held in st.
Louis the third Tuesday in November.

MAN CONVICTED OF
MURDER is PARDONED
Thought to Have Been Insane When He
Confessed to Killing Edwards

HELENA, Mont, June 29-Gov. TooIe

twenty years ago of the murder of John

pardon is the result of the confession of
William Miles made at Kansas City, June

Edwards was brakeman on a train
conveying circus through Montana, and
the murder was committed while Miles
was stealing a ride on the train A few
months after the murder Walton was ar
rested in Minneapolis, when he admitted
the crime. Since then he has shown signs
sane when he made the confession. Wal
ton is an old man, and as he seems TO be
mentally irresponsible he may be confined
