A conscientious labor editor, who desires to
see the influence of organized labor perpetuated
is in position to quickly note the errors of labor
organizations, and it he is alive to his duty, he
will see that they are corrected before damage
is done. ... il.
A labor paper depends more less upon the
patronage of business men for It's existence: A
labor editor comes in contact daily with men in
every walk of life. For this reason alone he is
placed in a. position where it is decidedly easy to
Judge the merits of an industrial controversy.
The Labor World has repeatedly criticised the
Judgment of certain local unions. 1t offered its
criticism in the best of friendship for labor. It
would not be doing its duty to labor to this
continuity If it did not call the attention OF the
membership to the fact that they were making a
mistake If such was the case: 1t has pointed
out ways and offered remedies for relief from
local conditions along the lines of the least
resistance the least cost and the least sucifces.
In many Instances we have earned the graft
tude OF both employer and employees in an ef-
fort to avoid conflict: :
On the other hand we have not hesitated to
publish our views on any industrial question where
the employer has been arbitrary, arrogant and
unreasonable It ouraduty to do it, and we
have no regrets to Offer If have lost the
friendship of any for assuming this attitude then
we say that We desire to be friends with no one
who is not friend of labor.
Our sole desire in the labor movement is to
contribute our mite:toward: bringing the j. EN-:
p1oyer and the employee closer together. In this
age of commercial strife these two factors in in
dustry have tendency to work apart If labor
and capital are partners, and If they should divid
the fruits Of industry, then they should be upon
amicable terms any other partners. Why
not all OF US do something to bind the ties
that should exist between capital and labor?

LOCATION OF NEW COURT HOUSE.


PINlONS seem to differ on the the location
~ of the new court house for St. Louis
county. Some very good citizens believe
~ that the present site should be utilized
court house purposes, and this they give as the
only reason for having the building built so far
from the business portion of the city.
The Labor World believes with large number
of Duluth citizens who have had no opportunity
to express themselves that the court house should
be erected at more convenient spot Who
IS to be benefited by the new building on the old
location? No one except the Street Railway
company; the county so far the value of the
lots are concerned, and possibly few east end
property owners who think that the location will
encourage the business growth up their way. =
Almost every person having business at the
court house Is obliged to lose at least half
day to transact it, Laboring desiring to pay
their taxes cannot do so without the loss of con-
sinderable time. If the building was nearer town
great many workingmen could transact business
of this nature during the hour, and with
out any loss 6r time. Lawyers, who obliged
to go to the court house quite frequently lose
siderable time in travel all of which their clients
must pay for. Business men doing jury duty at
tempt to transact some private business during the
At present they find it impossible to
do so on account of the time required going to and
from the court house. This inconvenience is Of
much Importance. Out of town residents of the
county, coming here to transact county business,
might return home the first train did it not
take much time to reach the county building.
Besides this list there hundreds of
and engaged in business about town who
are put to a whole lot of trouble and waste time
because of. the time it takes to reach the court
house. -
Where there is one reason fory the court house
to remain where it is there one hundred why
a new one should be erected upon some more con-
venent spot The Labor World believes that q
proper public sentiment could be created to de-
mand the purchase of court house site nearer to
the business portion of the city. ~"
