ven with the harvester trust bv en-

even with the harvester trust by en-
ploylng convicts in our penal insti-
tut1ons so that they may purchase
farming implements cheaper.
Some of the arguments used in the
house of representatives in favor of
the measure were indeed amusing A
farmer representative paid an eloquent
tribute to convict labor but he failed
to say word in favor of the law abid-
ing free workingmen whose bread and
butter he was helping to take away.
Another member argued that the OPP
ponents Of convict labor were talking
in favor of the harvester trust.
Pin Head Logic Amusing.
This pin head logic in indeed anus
ing. Free labor, which is in no way
is obliged to pay the penalty for such
an organization in order that farmers
may get cheaper farm machinery.
They propose to defeat the harvester
trust by employing convict labor, and
by selling farm machinery at cost. A
convict is allowed about so cents per
day for his labor. A free laborer can
not live on such a wage. He probab-
ly will not be called upon to do so, but
the fact that his most dangerous COM
petitor is a cheap convict laborer he
cannot expect to secure any material
advance in wages so long as the con-
vict is factor in production.
We sympathize with the effort of the
farmers to free themselves from the
throes of the harvester trust, but we
submit that the farmer is decidedly un-
fair in casting the burden from his own
shoulders to that Of the workingman.
There is no justice in it. Neither will
the harvester trust suffer, for this mon
ster will always be able to pay its
stated dividends.
Convicts Should Be Employed.
We recognize that the convicts should
be employed. No sane person wants
them worked at useless labor. The
thing simple we know of. Organized
labor or any other body Of fair man
would not object to the full employment
of every convict in the state in any one
or a dozen industries if the state in
computing the cost of production would
add to the labor cost of any article
manufactured in penal institutions the
difference between the wages paid to
free labor and that allowed to convicts
If this were done free labor would
not be obliged to suffer because of pris-
on labor competition: the state would
realize a profit on labor cost; it could
sell it's goods to the farmers at the
free labor cost Of production, and the
trust would suffer from the loss of it's
profit price. If it should be found that
the convict la'borer is not so efficient
as the free laborer in production this
fact could be considered in computing
the selling price for prison goods. There
is always a fair and honest way for
arriving at facts, and all labor asks in
this matter is that it be treated fair
ly.. In the language of President
Roosevelt we say to the members Of
the state legislature, give us a square

ONE MORE LONCSH0RE
WORKER PASSES AWAY
William Doherty Of West Du-
luth Succumbs After Ling
ering Illness.
Loved and Respected Member
Of Union Buried With Full
Honors Of Labor.

During the past six months death
has visited the Longshoremen's ueion
local No. IL quite frequently. Scarce
~ three weeks ago the union laid away
all that was left of James Brennan,
and on Wednesday of this week the re-
mains of another member, William Do
herty, were inferred at Calvary under
the direction of the union. Mr.. Do
herty attended the funeral of James
Brennan, and but a. few days after was
confined to his bed from which he was
not to arise again. He had been all
ing for some time, but his condition was
not thought to be serious until within
the past three weeks. Until few days
prior to his death, it was thought that
he would be able to recover, but a set
back occurred and he quietly passed
away Monday morning at $3.50 o'clock.
The funeral was held from st. James
church In West Duluth, where
services were conducted by Rev. John
Feehily. The Longshoremen's union at
tended in body. 1t was led by Prof.
Flaaten's Third Regiment band. The
pail bearers, all members of the union,
were: Thos. Callahan, Dolph Super
nant, Jos. Pocket, Pat Carney, Henry
Mason and Joseph Hickson.
William Doherty, one who It was a
pleasure to know, was born at st
GATHERINGS in the province Of Quebec
60 years ago. He came to Duluth in
1893, and during his residence here has
been engaged in longshore work. He
was an earnest and conscientious men,
Der Of his union, and was held in high
regard by all who knew him. His high
character and noble qualities endeared
him to all who knew him. He was in
deed a true and faithful friend, a kind
and loving husband, and dutiful and
considerate father. He is survived by
his wife and five children, John p, a
member Of the longshoremens union:
Mrs. Mary O'Brien, William J., Lena,

WIFE Of J.:::.A. BAKER :
CLAIMED BY DEATH
Passes Away at the Home of
Her Daughter, Mrs. r. w.
Luxon on Saturday.
Veteran Labor Advocate and
Family Have Sympathy of
Union Labor.

The members Of organized labor and
the many friends of j. H. Baker Of
the Carpenters union were panied to
meet, which occurred last Saturday.
The news of Mrs. Bakers death came
as g. shock to the friends Of the family,
many of whom not knowing that she
had been i'll. The funeral was held
Tuesday afternoon from the residence
Of her daughter. Mrs. r. w. Luxon, at
3Q Second avenue east, and was at
tended by large number Of friends.
Nothing that could affect Mr.. Baker
injuriously in any manner would fail
to evoke the sorrow Of the bulk of the
men and women with whom he has
been associated in a great social move
ment for many years past as an or
ganizer and speaker Of prime ability,
but when the news is brought to them
that he is afflicted in his nearest and
dearest relations they must necessarily
be affected to the extent of deep per-
sonal sorrow. Such fatalities are the
lot Of us all in greater or less mea-
sure as we advance through life. Most
of US know the depths Of affliction
which they realize and our sympathies
cannot fail to go out in the fullest
measure to those who may share them
with US. The Labor World and it's
readers sympathize profoundly with
Mr.. Baker and his family, and convey
to them their most earnest and heart
felt wishes that as time progresses they
may realize as much as possible to
soften the enduring effect of their per-
sonal sorrow.

RAILROADS IN FRANCE,

In France the railways are mostly
owned by companies. Yet not only are
the charges for carrying freight stip-
ulated by the government, but the
government control is far more ex-
acting than anything we have pro-
posed. The public is satisfied, and the
railroads do not think of complain
Ing. any more than express compan-
les In the United States think Of COM
planning because they do not have
charge of the postal business.
Continental countries hold that I'M
der modern conditions the railroad is
In the same relation to the public as
g. highway was a century ago. The
idea that the macadamized roads Of
France should be entirely in the con-
troll Of private companies would be
little more ridiculous to a Frenchman
that that the railroads should be their
own Judge Of rates-Collier's Weekly.

THE THEATERS.
At THE LYCEuM.

henrietta CrOSnan'S comedy success,
mistress Nell'' is a play that appeals
to play goers generally. It's author is
George c. Hazelton. The comedy
abounds in sparkling lines and speech
es, and all the characters are skillfully
drawn and carefully contrasted so that
each accumulated the other. The per-
sons in the play are happily chosen for
the striking figures who surrounded
King Charles II and his favorite Nell
Gwyn. The crisp, infectious comedy of
the play, the gayety and merriment, are
ingeniously blended with strong drama
tic situations and powerful climaxes.
Miss Crosman invests Nell Gwyn with
a delightful personality, giving infec-
tious charm to this creature Of impulse
who was all inpetuosity generosity and
wllfulness. The quality, Miss Crosman
gives to- the character may be judged
from the fact that she had a run of
two seasons in New York in this play.
Henrietta Crosmanl who is to make
her appearance in this city at the Ly-
ceum, April Is and 10, has the distinc-
ton Of the longest run in Shakespeare
ever achieved by a woman in this coun-
try. AS ROsalind In LAS You like It,"
she had run OF one hundred nights
in New York. This record has not been
Shakespeare, man or woman, in Am
erican, except Edwin Booth, who at the
heighth Of his fame, scored a like run
in New York. But In LAS You Like It"
Miss Crosman did not attain the record
she made in mistress Nelr', for in
the latter comedy she had a run Of two
seasons in New York.
The most popular comedies Of today
are those which introduce characters
taken from the comic caracitures in the
Metropolitan papers with which one is
acquainted and familiar with the laugh
able incidents and pictures. Such a
play is Happy Hooligan" and the
characters are all flesh and blood crea
lures somewhat exaggerated In their
stage appearance, but easily recognized
as II they had walked In from the
pages of these we'll known publica-
tions. The scenes are from the pen
pictures of that famous caricaturist
+
ten witty, sparkling dialogue even
more humorous than he has given his
other comedies, and several well-known
composers have contributed marvellous
~ catchy and tuneful music that is an
enjoyable feature of the entertainment.
The comedy is one of the most uproar-
ously funny pieces that has ever been
seen here; in fact it is one huge laugh.
There are three acts each crowded with
songs, dances and mirthful specialties,
SO that there is never dull moment
while the curtain Is up. The cast con-
tains the names of all well-known per-
formers and artists, principal among
them may be mentioned Frank McNish,
John Price, Chas Gramlich. Rubie Ray
mond, Eva Thatcher, Chas. Saunders,
Joseph Pettingill, and a chorus which
includes a. score Of very attractive
young women, who wear a variety of
bewitching cotumes and display their
charms in good and frolicsome fashion
which is very agreeable.
