Gordon O'Neill Chosen to Do
Special Organization Work
For Federation Here.

1--WE will stick with the printers for
the eight hour day if it becomes neces-
cary to spend every dollar in our treas
ury, and even II we are obliged to levy
a weekly assessment upon every men,
ber Of a trade union in this state
This was the spirit Of q motion passed
by the Federation Council Of the Mimi
esota State Federation of Labor at its
regular monthly meeting held in st.
Paul on Sunday last.
There were present at the meeting,
President William Templeman, Secre-
tary-treasurer McEwen, and every
member of the council. 1t was the
most interesting meeting we have ever
attended.
Secretary C. e. James read some In
teresting correspondence. Then organ
ization work was taken up. Upon re-
commendation of Secretary McEwen,
council voted to put an organizer in
the field at Duluth for one month. Mr..
McBwen recommended the appointment
of J. G. O'Nlell. provided that Mr.. o.
Neill will accept the position.
A resolution was passed ordering the
secrstary-treasurer to extend an invi-
tation in behalf Of the Federation to the
A. r. Of L., to hold its next convention
in Minneapolis.
President Templenan was sent on a
secret mission to do some very import
ant work In behalf of the printers.
The council took up the matter o1
the 1870 English printers who were re-
ported to be on their way to the United
States to act as strike breakers. A
report was received from the Immigra-
ton Inspector, and 1t 10 safe to predict
that no alien will be permitted to come
here to break the printers strike.
Garfield E. Morrison Of Mankato gave
the council an interesting account OF
the situation in that city. He spoke
most encouragingly and attributed the
good condition of the movement there

ELLIS. ISLAND BEGINS
WHITE SLAVERY FIGHT
Immigration Agents Declare
There is Great System to
Bring Girls Here.
Alleqed Leader of White Slave
Traffic is Arrested by Fed
eral Authorities.

New York, Nov. 16.-With the arrest
Of Anatola Harchaux at Pueblo, Col,
who is now in the Tombs, the immi-
grafton authorities at Ellis Island be-
lieve they are preparing to check a
great system of white slave traffic in
this country.
For several months it has been
known to the officials at Ellis Island
that young women were being brought
to this country in vast numbers by
immoral persons in various cities of
the United States, and determined
effort has been made to arrest those
responsible. It is the purpose Of the
immigration authorities to deport all
the women who have been brought to
this country by these designing per-
sons and to place all the white slave
traders in Jail.
Anatola Harchaux is one of many
who are believed to have been engaged
in this immigration business, and he
10 charged by United States govern
ment with having brought Julie Pu-
reux, a young French woman, from
is detained here in the Tombs a. q
witness against Harchaux, although
she Is said to have married Harchaux
since her arrival in this country.
Harchaux was first arra1gned be-
fore Judge Moses Hallet. Of the Fe-
deral Court at Denver, and was then
sent to New York. He will be tried
in the United States Circuit Court here
on the charge Of bringing women into
this country contrary to the law. ~ 3
In some instances European girls
are made to believe upon leaving their
homes that they have employment
here already engaged, for them in the
United States to work a. chamber
maids, dressmakers. mattresses and
helpers In factories, When they land
in this country without funds they are
helpless and utterly dependent upon
the brutal manipulators Of the white
slave trade.

There can be no such thing as an
ideal social and economic state in
which all will be satisfied. To hold
that there is or can be is to maintain
that the human family would cease
to struggle, that it would stand still.
And If It ever does it will commence
to degenerate-go backwards. The
human family is growing more pro-
eressive all the time-slowly to be
sure but gaining just the same
hence what would look like an ideal
state to the present generation would
not satisfy the coming ones with their
advanced ideas ever increasing, hopes
and aspirations. .>a. ID a.

Starving WOMEN BEG.
RELIEF FROM bALf0UR
London's Unemployed Besiege
Premier For Help, But He
Oan Offer No Suggestion.
Never In the History of Eng
land Were There So Many
Unemployed to Be Cared For

London, Nov. 1e.-The specter Of rev.
olutton stalked through the streets OF
London town today. Starving. pinch
faced women-thousands of them:
hundreds with puny. half-olothed in
fants in their arrns-paradsd in stun,b-
ling columns to the office OF the local
and grievances Of the capitals poor
before the premier OF the British na-
ton,
They were the wives and other rela-
tves Of the army Of the unemployed
an army that has starved because there
n no work for it, hands to the point Of
actual menace to the government. They
came IN enormous crowds from every
end and part Of London where the un-
fortunate masses Of the population have
their abode, determined that Premier
Balfour should hear from their lips and
judge az they passed in review of the
terrible conditions that exist.
For the first time under any such
circumstances IN the streets Of London
the "Marselllaise" was heard above the
chaotic tramp Of thousands of human
feet as the procession advanced. Later
In the day at a monster mass meeting
Russia's reign of terror was pointed to
a. forboding the situation that might
confront England II the demands OF
the people be not needed. The name
of Balfour was Kissed.
Out Of the ranks of the shivering
wives and daughters who had lost all
timorousness in the face of starvation,
bold women told Premier Balfour that
unless something be done speedily there
would be bloodshed.
Don't forget that hungry men are
desperate men, exclaimed one Of the
speakers, and the rest had only one
story to tell-sxpressed as eloquently
by physical appearance as by word Of
mouth-of husbands out Of work and
starving wives and children.
A deputat1on Of thirty women, spec
iahy selected to present the tattered
petition-on-foot to the premier, headed
the procession, and this deputation was
admitted to the presence Of Premier
Balfour in the local government office
"Give our men work." was the plea
Of the leaders. If tho owners Of fac
tories have no work to offer. England
must establish factories for it's starv-
ing population. ''
Premier Balfour gave earnest atten-
tton to all that was said, and was
most sympathetic in addressing the dep
utation. But while acknowledging that
the evil was very real, he had little to
suggest in the way Of alleviation ex-
cept an expression of hope that charity
would come to the aid of the unem-
ployed.
In conclusion the premier said he de-
precated the socialistic suggestion that
industries should be started at the ma
tional expense fore the benefit of the
unemployed as calculated to destroy the
springs of enterprise and the energy
of the nation.

Non-union workers put in more
hours per day and get smaller pay
than union workers, and yet there

do not accomplish things the men

Is behind all the opposition, but

'Ch|CAG0 PRINTS ARE
AROUSED To ACTION
They Denounce Government by
Injunction in Their Strike
For Eight Hour Day.
Courts Can Only Be Checked
by Printers Working for In
itiative and Referendum.

Government by Injunction has been
80 abused by some federal Judges,
especially when dealing with labor
strikes and strikers, that there Is a
strong feeling that the judges Of the
Federal Courts should be shorn OF
some Of their unlimited power. That
is the opinion Of Typographical union
No. 16, Of Chicago. which at q late
meeting passed resolutions denounc-
ing the liberal use of court writs IN
labor troubles.
The printers are now engaged in
struggle to obtain an eight hour con-
cession from their employers and have
sought legal advice regarding the fil-
ing Of bill for injunction to restrain
firms conected with the Chicago Ty-
pothetea from conspiring to in5ure the
credit of the International Typograph-
ical Union and local No. 16. They also
adopted resolutions which declare that
government by Injunction II unchecked
will lead to q national revolution and
that recent tyrannical decisions
against labor organizations are GRIM
inal attempts to frustrats our laud-
able purposes and place wage-earners
In hopeless slavery. Restraining or
ders simply should be a warning
against unlawful acts and should not
make criminal any acts which other
wise would be lawful"
The strikers will probably not re-
ceive much encouragement from the
courts and surely no assistance in
their struggle, for the courts, as now
constituted, are pretty we'll packed
against them.
The revolution the printers fear is
certain to come but it will be a peace
full one through the voters taking more
power to themselves through the In
itiattve and Referendum. Until the
printers and other voters can initiative
legislation and require that laws pas
| sed by their representatives shall be
subject to a veto by the people, there
| will never be q check upon the courts
from granting oppressive injunctions.
When organized labor carries out the
| program adopted at the last meeting
| Of the American Federation Of Labor
and is united for q systematic nom
partisan movement for Qdestioning the
candidates of all parties for congress,

Initiative and Referendum and they
only vote for those candidates who do
SO pledge themselves, labor will soon
obtain the legislation it desires; If a
majority Of the voters think 1t Is
reasonable and necessary. That is the
initial reform and other reforms will
follow as the people are ready for
them,

CITY Is First BenefactOr,

t''This shows that the successful
bidder is making 21,500 Impressions
more than last year for $54.35 less
and furnishing 13,50O more bills.
The argument that 1t is possible to
do this because Of the reduced cost
of production cannot be used here
because the office that is to do the
work is paying exactly the same
wages and working the same hours
as it was year ago and the cost of
paper is nearly the same If not high

City Of Duluth first benefactor
Of Printers trike-Trust
Cuts It's Schedule Fully 33
Per Gent to Stop Union
Firm From Getting Some
City Work.
Typographical Union Exposes
Bosses Methods - Shows
How the Trust Has Been
Robbing the Water and
Light Department During
Past Year.

The printers strike ls one week
nearer settlement today than It was
last week. Both sides appear to be
just az determined as they were dur
ing the first week Of the strike.
There have been some new devel-
opments during tho week. There
have also been some mighty. inter-
esting and startling revelations. In
the matter Of public printing the
citizens are getting the benefit OF the
disruption of the boss printers trust.
Prices have been cut to more than
reasonable figures. Rather than to
permit a union firm to secure the
printing from the Water and Light
department the trust cut its own fig
ures Of last year fully S3 per cent,
for which it is furnishing fully 16
per cent more work.
The statement made by Robert
Rankin in last Fridays Herald is
truthful and consistent exposition
Of the Typothetae. It clearly sets
forth the policy of the non-union
bosses, and it should be read by ev-
cry citizen of the city. 1t is as fol-
lows:
Union Exposes Typothetae.
"The Typographical ;pnion does
not desire to be drawn into any con-
troversy between any Of the employ
ers who have already signed the
scale and those who so far have re-
fused to do SO. An article in the
News Tribune this morning, calls
for some reply, however. 1t is made
to appear that on account of the
strike now on that the water and
light board thought 1t advisable to
call for bids, while heretofore, they
have been given out through the
secretary of the Typothetae. A com.
parison Of the amounts paid for the
work last year fera lesser uantity
and the bids of this year makes very
interesting reading and shows the
public how the department has been
overcharged. 1t is doubtful If the
firm to whom the contract was
awarded will suffer very much as 1t
is a we'll known fact to those who
have been on the inside that losses
Of this kind are made up by the 9TH
er members when it has been neces-
sary to put on a low figure in order
to shut off outside competition. Fol-
lowing are the amounts paid to the
Northland Printery last year for the
work as per voucher on file with the
city comptroller, and can be verified
by any business man who will take
the time to do so:
