The ST. Paul's church was organized
last fall. the congregation previous to
that time having been a part of the St.

Belgium. where he studied for years in
the American college. He was as
signed TO Rock Island as assistant at
the St. Mary's church. having charge
of the Belgian branch of the church.
On the advice of Bishop Spalding, he
took up the work of organizing sep
arate church. and the St. Paul's church
resulted. The church has experienced
a healthy growth since its organiZa-
ton. and gives promise of becoming
one of the large churches of the city.

DULUTH I. HEIGHTS GOSSIP
BRIEF AND SOCIAL NEWS
Why Every Citizen of Duluth
Heights Should Vote for
Bond Issue.
First Opportunity to do Some
Real Good for Your Home
and Locality.

On Tuesday next the people of Du-
luth Heights, with the citizens of the
entire city, will be called upon to vote
either for or against a proposition to
bond the city to the extent Of .$14O,0 900
for the purpose of extending the city
water works to Park Point, Duluth
Heights and other needy localities.
Many erroneous statements have been
made during the past three weeks
about the propriety Of issuing. more
water and light bonds. It is ostensibly
claimed that the city is already bonded
for more than the limit allowed by
law.
It is falsely claimed, and by people
who ought to know better, that the
entire city must bear the burden of an
additional tax rate in the issue Of wa
ter and light bonds. This is as far
from the truth as the sun is above the
earth. Those who will take the pains
to inquire will find that it will be the
new consumers Of water in the dis
tricts in which the extensions will be
made, who will pay the interest on the
new bonds.
On Duluth Heights the sum Of
SIS, 900 will be expended. The interest
on this amount will be $500, and will be
paid exclusively by the consumers of
water on the Heights. If citizens do
not wish to sign petition for water,
they will not be called upon to bear
any of the burden for water. It will
rest entirely with those who sign for
the water extension. For this reason
there should be a unanimous vote for
the bond issue in the Fifth precinct of
the Fifth ward. Let each citizen do
his duty Read the article on the first
page of this paper, in which the scheme
Of the opposition is laid bare. The in
iquity Of their purpose is evident to
every person who has made study Of
the question.
This is time to perform some real,
actual service for your community.
Let each citizen do his duty.

N. B. GL0CKLE ELECTED
SECRETARY-TREASURER
National Office of Tug Fire.
men and Linemen's Associa
ton Comes to Duluth.
Duluth Boy Comes to the Front
as a Marine LABOR
Leader.

Another international labor office
has come to Duluth. It is Duluth
boy, born and bred, who landed it, and
every one of his friends are pleased to
know it,
M. B. Glockle, of 525 W. Sixth street.
and for several terms president OF the
local Tug Firemens' union, was last
week elected grand secretary-treasurer
of the Tug Firemen and Linemen's
Protective Association of the Great
Lakes. The headquarters of the or
ganlzation will be moved to Duluth.
Mr.. Glockle begins work with several
years. experience in the labor move
ment. He enjoys the good will and re-
spect of all who know him, and a.
bright future is predicted for him in
his new departure.
The first tug f1remens< union at the
head Of the Lakes, and the second in
the country, was organized in Duluth
by w. E. McEwen just five years
ago. From that day to this the f1remen
OF the great lakes have been enjoy
ing splendid growth. Wages have
been increased, hours of labor have
been reduced, and better working
conditions have prevailed. That the
Office OF secretary-treasurer should
come to Duluth Is recognition of the
sterling worth and integrity OF the To-
cal membership.
On Monday next Mr.. Glockle will
attend a conference Of employers at
Detroit, where a contract for the sea-
son Of 1905 will be made with the
Great Lakes Towing and Wreckin9
company. 1t is expected that an ami
cable adjustment will be made. The
other officers Of the grand lodge are:
president, John Bourke, Sault Ste.
Marie; vice president, Max Etzel.
Milwaukee,; assistant secretary-treas-
urer, Daniel Cotter. Buffalo.
Mr.. Glockle's election makes the sec-
ond national marine labor position to
come to Duluth. The other is filled by
James Walsh, president Of the III.
eensed Tugfnen's Protective associa.

The labor world. [volume] (Duluth, Minn.) 1896-current, 1905-02-04

This is not the case with all of tho
inspectors, however. Some have work.
ed and have the goods to show for it,"
By an odd arrangement, the labor
commissioner has no say in the pay
ment Of those under him. No payroll
bearing the commissioners indorse-
ments is necessary. The men get their
pay directly from the auditor, and the
commissioner has no knowledge wheth-
or they are getting the. stipulated
amount or more than that.
Commissioner Williams says he in
tends to ask for legislation that will
put the depal tment on a better busi-
ness basis. If the conditions in Duluth
are as represented, an extra man will
have to be sent up there to help the
new man catch up.
Local Comment ON Contemplated Move.
1t is stated in local labor circles
since the publication Of the above
item that the employment of an ad-
d:tional Inspector here will be unnec-
essary. 1t will make no difference how
complicated the position may be enc
inspector can do all the inspection nec-
essary in this city in three months.
/: is thought that the article is given
through policy framing press for
the purpose Of explaining the employ
ment OF competent man from outside
to do the actual inspection It is un-
dCubtedly found that the position Of
factory inspection is no sinecure AMI
that Mr.. Hagberg, because Of the fact
that he has no knowledge of machin-
cry, Will not be in a position to make
satisfactory INSPECTION His Duties
can be confined entirely to gathering
statistics which is portion of the
duties Of the office. The outside ,naa
who. in all ability will be expert
enced in machinery inspection will do
this part Of the work. and as it is
necessary to make Inspections but once
year his visit will be for that pur-
pose. rather than to unravel the COM
plicatfons due from the alleged negli-
gence of J. w: Allen. The. labor or

lAB0R COMMISSIONER
GIVES ALLEN 4 ROAST
Former Factory Inspector J
w. Allen Charged With
Neglect of Duty.
Experienced Inspector to Aid
Hagberg in Making Fac
tory Inspection.

According to press reports Labor
Commissioner W. w. Williams has
landed a body blow at former Factory
Inspector J. w. Allen Of this city, for
neglect of duty as factory inspector.
He states that no attention has been
paid to factory inspection in this dis
trict since the November election and
for this reason it will be necessary to
give Mr.. Hagberg, the new inspector,
additional help for few months.
Mr.. Williams threatens general
overhauling Of his department, togeths
err with request for curative legisla-
ton. as a result Of some things which
have come to light since he took
charge.
One Of the much sought jobs in the
department Is that Of factory inspec-
tor, and, If some of the complaints just
filed have any foundation, 1t is a decid-
ed snap
August Hagberg was assigned to the
Duluth district by the new administra-
ton as factory inspector, to take the
1lace of J. w. Allen. and. according
to the Information furnished, nothing
in the way of factory inspection has
been done by. Allen since the election,
last November.
He has drawn his salary regularly,
however, and it has been paid him by
State Auditor Iverson, on his O. K. of
the usual voucher, which all the in
spectors have to sign.
Simply Drew His Salary.
According to the information receiv-
ed by Commissioner Williams, Allen,
,f 81 hat ha f0 he
displaced, simply quit work. His dis
trict takes in Duluth and all OF the
ranges and there is nothing to show
for the money paid him.
From a slight investigation, find
that Allen is not the only one who
figured on displacement and directed
his remaining energies at simply draw
ing his salary" said Mr.. Williams.
