HlBBlNG RIOT, A LESSON.

There ought to be a lesson in the
every employer, labor union, business
man and unorganized workingman at
the head Of the lakes.
1t has been generally predicted that
the coming season was to be most
prosperous for this community Bu-
siness men have made extensive plans
for the summer. Real estate agents
have become exceedingly active, and
manufacturers have made many i'm
provements with the full confidence
that an era Of prosperity was at hand.
The only fear expressed at any time
during the past few months was the
danger Of an interruption caused by
Industrial controversies.
The labor organizations have been
equal to the occasion. Recognizing
that all have been anxious for an I'M
interrupted season they started early
to make their contracts for the year
The marine labor organizations, from
the captain Of a ship to the most I'M
couth dock worker, had their con-
tracts made long before navigation
was open. The building trades unions
Of this city, while their contracts do
not expire until May list, manifested
a disposition Of fairness by Offering
to renew their 1904 contracts.
The above results indicate that
there are to be no strikes Of serious
nature among the organized trades of
this city during the coming year.
Both capital and labor have met on
reciprocal terms, and both are ready
to turn their attention to commerce
and industry with the hope that it will
bring prosperity to all.
How wide difference is there be-
tween this situation and that con-
fronting the unorganized workinRmen
and the employers Of labor on the iron
ranges? It is true that the class of
workingmen employed in the mines
are not Of such high Intelligence az the
tradesmen Of our city, or of the marine

workingmen on the lakes. but labor
is not responsible for the employment
of this class of workingmen.
The mining companies have ever
encouraged the employment Of green
and servile immigrants from the most
lowly portions Of Europe, who know
no method for Fighting a wrong ex-
cept through violence.
The present strike on the western
Mesaba range was not In the cards.
Yet it could not be avoided. Even If
It should be settled now there. is no
assurance that it will be settled for
the season. Without Organization the
least bit of dissension may cause a
strike. This is the rule usually where
there is no organization among the
workingmen.
Had there been an organization
among the miners at Hibbing there
would have been no riot, because no
trade union would have permitted the
strikers to congregate into a mob out
side Of the meeting hall. If there was
anything to do at any mine a band
would not have been secured and the
whole body Of strikers marched to the
mine, but a well trained committee
would be scent to do the business.
This is the difference between organic
alton and mob force.
The recent experience indicates that
there Is no method so certain of in
surfing industrial peace as the trade
union method. Supposing the mining
and stripping companies on the range
had made contracts with unions of
the mine workers during the winter.
there would be no strike now. and
even If they were obliged to pay a
trifle more in wages there would be
economy in the end. Petty grievances
would be settled by the union, industry
would go on without interruption,
and complete Industrial peace and
prosperity would prevail.
This is labor view of what ought
to be the relations between employ
ers and the employed. We give our
opinions freely, and they are the re-
suit Of much observance and expert
ence. The employer may halt for fea,
that he would be permitting some one
else to run his business, but after all
1t is only pride that prevents the ac-
ceptance of this truth If capital and
labor are both necessary factors in
industry, then there ought not to be
very much objection to labor having
something to say about how it should
be employed. Let US get down to the
basic truth of things. There never
can be industrial peace so long as
there is individualism on the labor
side and cooperation on the capital
list side. The farsighted employers
have long ago found this out, and
they are now acting accordingly.

JUSTICE, NOT VENGEANCE
WANTED.

Organized labor Of Duluth may we'll
feel proud Of itself. The action Of
the Trades Assembly at it's last
meeting in calling upon the judges OF
the district court and the county at
torney to carefully inquire in to the
riot and murder at Hibbing last week,
puts union labor in a commendable
position in this locality
The language of the letter sent to
the judges indicates that organized
labor now stands for the utmost re-
spect for law and order. There is
neither hypocracy nor cant in the
appeal to the authorities. 1t was no
one sided or biased statement, but a
sition.
1t cares little who is responsible for
the crime so long as the guilty parties
are brought to justice. If labor, blind
ly led, misguided and illadvised caus-
ed the trouble We will be perfectly
satisfied with the consequences, but
on the other hand if the authorities
failed to do their duty, and If the mer
who killed the striking miners did so
without sufficient cause, and by taxi
ing the law into their own hands we
ask that their case be given the same
consideration, without fear or favor, as
would have been given the strikers,
had the result been different.
Compared with the value of the
mining properties near Hibbing the
lives of two miners may not amount
to much in the minds Of some people,
but In the eyes of the law a human
life, whether it be that Of an ignorant
Finlander miner or an opulent mine
owner, is of the same value.
We venture the assertion that If the
men killed were representatives of the
mining companies there would be a
speedy investigation into the affair
No stone would be left unturned to ap-
prehend the guilty parties, and the
leaders in the strike. whether in
| nocent or not. would now be behind
the bars awaiting trial for either
murder or conspiracy. But it makes
all the difference in the world who
was killed.
The Coroner's jury held that the men
came to their death by shots fired by
some unknown persons. This is an
old gag that may go in the mining
region where jurors and citizens may
be prejudiced by mininf company in
fluences, but union labor of Duluth is
on earth to see that something more
definite is found. All we ask from
the courts is justice, not vengeance.

luton which will be forwarded to the
government, to the effect that the only
means of quieting the people is to in
augurate Immediately the promised
reforms, namely the convocation of a
representative assembly and the
granting of liberty of the press and
of meetings, and other concessions.
