LOCAL UNIONS AFTER
NEW MEETING HALLS
w. M. Prindle Makes Big In
crease in Rent for Halls in
Kalamazoo Block.
Unions Protest and Have CON-
mittee Looking for New
Headquarters.

The Kalamazoo building may cease
to be the labor headquarters of this
city. When J. w. Rowley controlled
the building the unions were treated
fairly and literally But the building
Is now under new management. It
was purchased last fall bv the United
Cities Realty Company, a sort Of
savings bank institution that is getting
Its money from the workingnen on the
stock saving plan, which it invests
1r paying property. 1t attempts to
show earnings on it's investments Of
from II to IS per cent. W. NJ. Prin-
die of this city is the local agent for
the company, and like all Prindle prop
erty, a raise of rents follows his
agency.
During the past week the unions are
being informed that their rent will be
Increased from 20 to 40 per cent on each
hall. There happens to be a scarcity in
halls just now, and it at first seemed
that the unions would be able to do
nothing but accept the raise with good
grace. A new plan has developed dur
Ing the week. A number of unions have
got together and they are planning to
take halls in one Of the most prominent
public buildings in the city. A lease
Is being drawn and before another
week expires it is expected that the
full plans will be made known to the
union men of Duluth.
The rent in the new labor head
quarters will be moderate, but the best
OF it is the unions will have complete
control over them. They will be open
day and night, and every advantage
will be offered for the convenience of
all members of unions

LABOR Gets little
FROM LEGISLATURE
Two Simple Labor Bills Were
Passed And Three Bad
Bills Killed.
Chairman Douglas Is Conpil-
ing Report Of Labor Re-
cord of Law Makers.

ST. PAUL, April 20.-According to a
report being complied by c. w. Doug
las, chairman of the legislative COM
mittee of the Minnesota State FEEDER
alton of Labor, the recent legislature
passed two labor bills, killed three that
labor. was against, and amended the
code to give labor back some rights
that were taking away from it.
The bills passed were the free en-
ployment bureau bill, providing for a
bureau in St. Paul or Minneapolis, and
bill prohibiting the signing Of wages
to money loaners without the consent
of employers.
The bills killed were, the prison labor
bill, the garnishee bill reducing the
exemption, and the bill removing the
restriction upon prison labor.
The code was amended to meet a
labor objection in the case of mechan-
les leins on buildings. The revisers
gave the mortgage first lien on a
building to the exclusion of labor.

NO CONTRACT FOR FREE
AERIAL FERRY BRIDGE
Organized Labor Protests to
City Council Against Con-
tracing Bridge.
Wants City to Run Bridge I'm.
der Direct Municipal Con-
troll and Supervision.

No contract for the ferry bridge. Or
sanized labor stands by it's historic
record Of day labor, in public affairs.
1t wants the city to run the new
bridge by day labor and strongly pro-
tests to the city council against giving
the work out to private individuals
under contract.
The Trades Assembly at last FRI
day evenings meeting voted for NUM-
ctpal control over the ferry bridge.
Pres. shartel said that the fallacy Of
corporate control Of public utilities had
been given in the present subway trou-
bles in New York city, during which a
riot with violence had ensued. The
resolution follows:
whereas, It has come to the atten-
ton Of the Federated Trades and La
Dor assembly that there Is a move
ment on foot to let the operating of
the aerial ferry bridge across the ship
canal out, to private contractors, and
whereas, Organized labor stands
for day labor in place of contract la
Dor on all public work, and as other
public utilities in this city in a most
satisfactory manner, and as the wants
and cohveniences of the general public
are given better attention by public
officials than they are by private con-
tractors; therefore, be it
"Resolved, That we, the delegates to
the Federated Trades and Labor AS
sembly, petition the Common Council
of the city of Duluth to support the
proposition of operating the aerial
bridge directly by the city, under the
management of the proper city depart
ment: and further be it
Resolved, That we ask the council
to fix the hours Of labor for operators
of the bridge at eight hours each day,
and that under no circumstances are
we in favor of letting out the operation
Of the ferry bridge by contract"

DULUTH WILL HAVE NO
STRIKES THIS SEASON
ALI Grievances in Building and
Marine Circles Satisfactor-
lily Adjusted.
Labor Doing It's Duty to Prom
ised Era of Unprecedent-
ed Prosperity.

The business: commercial and in
dustrial interests Of Duluth are all
shaking hands with one another this
season for it has at last been ascer-
tanned that there will be no industrial
disputes of a serious consequence in
this city during the coming year.
President Walsh of the Marine Labor
unions announces that every marine
union has succeeded in making con-
tracts with the big interests along the
chain of lakes. The building trade
unions, like the carpenters, painters,
steam filters, plumbers, fathers, plas-
tereTs, timers and other unions have
reached amicable understandings with
their employers.
Now if there is anything in the
promise of an era Of unprecedented
prosperity for this city labor is in a
position to do its duty, and perform
it's part in bringing it about
This is more evidence that nothing
is capable of insuring industrial peace
so much as we'll organized, capably
managed labor movement. We have
the experience in Duluth. Our move
ment is developing diplomats of the
highest type in industry. This is why
we are making strikes unnecessary to
accomplish good for labor.
Had the same conditions existed on
the Mesaba iron range there would
have been no strike there this week to
innped. the progress of industry. The
mining companies are paying the PEN
atty for tardy organization. and their
arbitrary attitude in denying their
working men the right to organize and
become informed on the manner Of
dealing rightly In labor disputes.
Verify we say unto you, there is a
good lesson in this situation for labor
and capital. Why not heed it, and get
together on better terms?

YELLOW JAPS To WORK
ON |STRM|AN CANAL
Isthmian Commission Decides
on Cheap Yellow Labor to
Dig Canal.
Negotiations Now on Foot
With Japanese Labor Con-
tractor for Men.

Washington, April 20.-It is ANNOUNCE
ed bv the Isthuian commission that
Japanese "padrones" will construct the
canal The japanese employed will be
brought direct from Japan, and not
from Hawaii, as has been suggested.
Negotiations are now on foot with a
Japanese labor contractor for several
thousand Japanese laborers.
This means that the "padrone' or
contractor will be paid a certain
amount day for each man furnished,
and he will pay the Japanese for What-
ever he may be able to hire them IN
Japan. He will also have full control
over the laborers.
Panama exclusion laws against Chin
csc, the fact that white men 40 not
care for the work. the unstable habits
of the West Indian laborers and the
way in which the Japanese control
their contract laborers all led the COM
mission to turn to the Japanese.
Twelve thousand active laborers and
reserve Of the same size vii! De the
maximum force required.
Alien contract la Dor laws and exclu-
sion laws will not apply to japanese IN
the canal zone. since the zine is SUBJ
ject to the titular sovereignty Of Pam
anna, and Colon can be used as a port
of entry.
It is believed that the labor organ
izations in this country will not ac-
quiesce in the japanese "padrone" sys-
TEN for the canal.

cation, the Federated Trade and La
Dor Assembly, is the only body capable
of speaking for all labor, we feel it
our duty to appeal to you and ask
that the occurrence Of Tuesday last, in
which two men were killed, be given
thorough investigation under the d.
rection of the district court.
"Organized labor in this community
is opposed to violation of law in any
form. We care not who is guilty so
long as it is made plain that the SUI
premacy of the law is maintained.
Situation is Analysed.
1T has been reported to US that the
men were killed by employees of min
ing or stripping company, and that the
peace officers of Hibbing were within
100 yards of the trouble, and that no
shots were fired by the officers of the
law. There seems to be a question as
to who fred the first shot. This in
itself, is of little consequence until
conditions leading up to this occur
renee have been fully analysed.
The fact is that the law was vio-
lated. The strikers may have melted

pan yand its employees may have dis
regarded the law. The whole event
indicates that deplorable condition
exists at HI. oing and in the mining
locations thereabout.
I'VE make this request that the mat
ter be investigated through the proper
channels under the direction of the
district court, in order that future
occurrences Of a like nature may be
prevented. $780,. -
IF this investigation can be made
by a fair and impartial body, selected
from outside of the interests involved,
we think it will result in great good

President Shartel presented the prop

Adams Express Company Loses
Through Alleged Theft by Clerk.

Adams Express Company Loses
Through Alleged Theft by Clerk.
Pittsburg, Oct. IL. The startling
discovery was made late yesterday
that the Adams Express company has
been victimized to the extent of $780,
900, supposedly through the pecula-
tons of an employee.
The following official statement of
the affair is given the Associated Press
for publication:
AT 4:15 p. m. Monday, Oct. 8, a
bank of Pittsburg, Pa, delivered to the
Adams Express company at their Of
fee in Pittsburg, package of curren-
cy containing 100000, which was con-
signed to a bank in Cincinnati, Ohio
'This package was received and re-
ceipted for by Edward George Cunliffe,
who was then acting in the place of
the regular money clerk, who was i'll
100000 Is Missing.
"Cunliffe left the Office at the usual
time in the evening and yesterday
morning when he failed to report for
of his department and it was learned
that about $1,000 of funds entrusted to
his care were missing. General Agent
Hiner of the Adams Express company
Immediately called in detectives and
placed the matter in their hands. Later
developments brought to light the fact
that in addition to the 1000 missing,
the bank package containing the $780,
900 had not been received at the money
forwarding office at union station, this
city.
Inquiries made at his residence
showed that Cunliffe arrived at home
at the customary time Monday evening
and, after changing his clothes,
Babe His Family Good Bye,
saying to his wife that he was going
out for the evening, and nothing fur
Their has been heard from him.
"Cunliffe has been employed by the
Adams Express company since March
], 1904, and bore good reputation. He
was methodical, accurate and an eX-
cellent clerk"
A warrant has been issued charging
Cunliffe with larceny.
Mrs Cunliffe, wife of the missing
man, was visited late yesterday by the
detectives. When told that her hus-
band was not working at the Adams
Express office and that large sum of
was missing she went into hys-
terics and is in a serious condition.
The detectives learned nothing of inn
pOrtance at the home. The authorities
are of the opinion that Cunliffe left the
city Immediately after bidding his
wife good bye Monday evening. Tele-
graphic descriptions have been sent
to all parts of the country.
