Enthusiastic Meeting of the Miners

I E.veleth, Mimi. Sept labor Day
was celebrated here Monday in very
quiet but pleasant way. The business
places were closed and the steam
sllovels were idle. The mines were
working, hut were short-handed. The
local union oil the Western Federation
OF Miners held Il jollifca,ion meeting in
the evening and discussed matters ap-
propriatc to the OCCASION This union
was organized here last April with a
| little over 100 members and held meet
ings every Sunday In short time it
| was necessary to hold meetings every
! Friday night, as the membership in
creased SO rapidly. Although they
have one OF the largest halls for meet
ing purposes in the city, working. too,
as they do OH different shifts, the hall
is now too small for the members. and
arrangements are being made to Sc
cure a larger one so that the whole
body can meet together. The officers
are a very bright body OF men. thor
| oughly conversant with everything
pertaining to mining Men OF many
rationalities are employed and there
arc interpreters for the different lam
suages spoken.
The union is composed of engineers,
!remen, timber men, trammers. min
ers, carpenters, blacksmiths, machin-
lists, pipcmen, pump men and all other
positions in and around the mines, ex-
cept foremen, who are not eligible

much appreciated by all the miners

i'll the past two years. Right here it
will be interesting to our western
brothers to know that previous to the

not known in the northwestern iron
mines, but today the members are
counted by the thousands, thanks to
our friends, the enemy. Evelcth now

a good salary by the local body. He
is also the secretary.
The following towns are organized
on this range: Eveleth, Sparta. Nc
Kinley, Bull and Chisholm. Hibbing
is now being organized by James Kir-
wan. OF Terry, South Dakota, and he
is meeting with grand success. Other
towns will be attended to during the
fall, and it can be said that the success
of the unions in the different towns is
due i'll a great measure to the officers
who are an exceptionally bright lot of
men.

taken as soon as a cold is contracted

by keeping the remedy at hand. This
remedy is SO widely known and Sc

hesitate about buying it in preference
