Must Come to Labor.
You must remember that two ele-
ments are required in the operation
Of your institution. These two fac
tors are capital and labor, although
some of you started business with
no capital, but with an over abund-
ance of nerve, and you made all OF,
your present capital through the la
Dor of your printers. You we're also
aided in this by the organization Of
your unlawful combination, the Du-
luth Printing and Manufacturing
Company.
How Bosses Have Robbed the Public.
Through this organization you
have robbed the public by, charging
exorbttant prices for printing. You
used the union printers to create
sentiment for patronizing home in
dustries, and while the people of this
city were trying to be loyal to Du-
luth industries, you plundered them
by your system of trust brigandage.
With your criminal organization
alone you could have done nothing.
You needed the printers to build up
your business, and now you reckless
ly and cruelty cast them aside as you
would an old garment. Because of
your attitude in this strike you are
not entitled to the respect or con-

city.
When you attempt to force an is
sue which will give you absolute
control Of the printing industry, and
particularly complete power to name
the conditions of toll for your men,
you are attempting to do something
that only men drunken with power
have the audacity to do.
Why don't you come to your
senses, Mr.. Boss Printer, before you
completely destroy the printing busi-
ness? The union printers ara inter-
fegted IN6y
want yot; to make money, because It
Will enable you to pay good wages,
but when you were making large
profits you antagonized your men as
bitterly as If the business was a los
Ing game. There does not seem to
be any incentive for your men to
work for the success of your busi-
ness, because you are so glutunous
as to claim the full fruits of a sue
cessful industry, made possible by
the loyalty of your employees. This
Is contrary to the spirit of Justice.
and you know it better than any
other people.
Appeal for Justice Futile.
The Labor World recognizes full
we'll that nothing can be gained by
pleading in the name Of justice for
any consideration from the Typo-
thetae for the union printers now on
strike. We know that most of the
local bosses are mighty fine fellows
personally. but their personality Is
lost In this contest. II they could
act on their own wishes the strike
would have been settled long ago.
What they do now they do collec-
lively. Their iniquities are shielded
behind the cloak Of the Typothetae.
SO our pleadings may be in vain.
but we do believe that the people
ought to know the true condition of
affairs, and If they are alive to their
own interests they will help the
union to win this strike. They will
patronize only such firms as employ
union printers. They will demand
the union label on their work. It
is guarantee that HONEST work.
ingmen have been employed at rea-
sonable hours and for fair pay to do
their work. The people. who are al
ways interested in the success of
labor, should give the Typothetae
a fitting rebuke, by supporting those
printing firms who believe in shar-
ing with their men in the fruits of
industry. They should insist that
no institution in Duluth is entitled
to the support of fair minded peo-
pie, II 1t refuses to deal with its en-
ployes in agreeing upon a fair re-
muneration for services rendered.
