Death OF Mrs. Ed6ar Hill

Mrs. Edgar Hill died at Roche
Harbor, April Z, of heart disease.
Her maiden name was Jerusha Hat
ton and she was born at Port Huron,
Michigan, July II, 1845. She was
left an orphan at an early age.
July II, 1862, she was married to
Edgar Hill at Port Sanilac. Most
of her life was spent at Lexington
and Downington, Michigan. The fam
lily moved to Roche Harbor a little
over year ago. During her life no
mother was ever held in higher es-
TEEN than she, by those who knew
her. She can be truly termed "a
mother of the Old School," Her
home was her first thought. By in
tuition she OWNED character, and
drew close to her those who were
worthy of her. She sorrowed much
for those who made mistakes, and
gave them her kindly aid. Accept
ing without the slightest question
the Bible as the word of a Divine
God, she prayed to Him increasingly
throughout life, and died in ssimp.e,
trusting faith" :" She leaves behind
to mourn her loss her husband, and
the only three children that were
born to them, Mrs. Alma Conrad, OF
Forester, Michigan, and Nettie and
Ensign, of Roche Harbor.
A kind Providence allowed her
closest and lifelong friend and sister
in-law to be present to aid and sor
row with those left behind The fun
eral services we're conducted from
the Roche Harbor church by the
Rev. c. c. Pratt, Sunday afternoon.

CHINESE COOLIES To
WORK ON PANAMA CANAL
Secretary Taft, Who is Hold
ing Down the Lid" While
the President Hunts.
Acuiuliiesces in Plan to Build the 1lee
Big Ditch With Import
ed Mongolians.

Washington, D. c., May 4.-The an
nouncement that 5000 Chinese coolies
are to be imported and put to work
on the Panama canal with the acquies-
cence of Secretary Taft, who is hold
ing down the lid while Roosevelt is
playing a spectacular engagement in
slaughtering inoffensive wild animals
in the west and making speeches about
civilization, humanity. ETC., is being
bitterly resented by Western labor
people. They say Taft Is violating the
spirit of the ant1-Chinese law and that
the next step will be to give ready ear
to the plantation plutocrats of Hawaii
and Porto Rico who want coolie labor.
But that will be all right. Taft, who
is understood to have Roosevelt's sup
port as his successor. is great on in
novations where honest labor can be
given a hard rap. While serving as
judge in Cincinnati he decided a dam
age suit against the bricklayers, the
first decision of it's kind in the country.
But the whitewash brigade will man

The stone cutters have been locked
out two months by their bosses. These

formed a combine to keep out all other
contractors and independent bosses
from securing any contracts in the ci-

with the masons. contractors, build
ers and architects that no individual
outside of the trust should have a
show on any contract. Then the stone
cutters were asked to sign an agree
ment not to work for an Independent
boss The stonecutters' union refused
to sign any such, agreement and de-
termined to stand by all contractors

VIM. Prindle & Company increased
the rent i'm Kalamazoo hall for all the
unions. It was at first thought that
nothing could be done but pay the in
crease and quietly submit to it. Meet
ing halls are getting to be quite a
scarce article in this city, and Mr.
Prindle's representative was undoubt-
edly aware Of the fact.
The labor unions, however, found
that rooms in the Manhattan building
could be secured, and w. E. McEwen
Of the Labor World was authorized to
make terms for Aease of one-half
Of the second floor. These rooms are
now being put into shape, and will
be used as an exclusive headquarters
for organized labor.
The halls are we'll located, roomy,
brilliantly lighted and away from the
rush and noise of the street, and other
business of the building.
The new halls are to be known as
THE LABOR WORLD Hall. Already
twenty unions have agreed to meet at
the new headquarters, and it is expect
ed to be but matter of q short time
when every LOCAL union will hold meet
ings there. A full list of the time and
place of meeting of all unions will be

The people of Woodland park are
going to have modern street car SER
vice, that is II the action Of the city
Council last Monday evening will
count for anything with the street
railway company. In spite Of fearful
opposition from the railway company
and the treachery Of some Of the re-
sidents of Hunters Park who signed
a petition against the Woodland
people. r. c. Mitchell and his
neighbors have scored first in the fight
for a through street car service to
Woodland Park.
Some things have developed in this
fight. which has been made almost
alone by Mr.. Mitchell, that indicate
that the management of the street
railway company have approached
dangerously close to pin head
policy.
For a. number of years Mr.. Mitchell,
as an editor Of Duluth paper has en-
joyed an editorial courtesy in the
shape of a pass book from the street
car company. When he inaugurated
his fight against the company for an
improved service for the community
in which he resides, his book was
taken away from him by the PIN
Head" management. This fact would
not. be worth mentioning were it not
a. link In a chain of thoughts often ex-
pressed in these columns.
We hold that public service corpora
tions do not exchange courtesies with
newspapers without expecting some
thing big in return. An editor must
be a cheap stick who would permit a
railway pass to subsidize his news
paper. The corporation usually ex-
poets more than it gives for this
favor. Mr.. Mitchell has very emphat-
ically told the street railway company
that they cannot have his opinions
for a cheap street car pass.
The wise manager Of a public service
corporation who can see beyond the
length Of his nose, would hesitate for
a long time before he would have 1t
appear that his corporation expects to
control the editorial opinions Of a
newspaper by the pass privilege. The
street railway management in Mr.. Nit
chelPs case have assumed this attitude.
Some very prominent citizens have
stated to the editor of the Labor World
that 4, Mr. LoWrys was aware Of the
r6Da laf fssiing existing afn1t t6e
street railway company here ne would
soon bring about a change. If this IL
true then the !sooner} Mr.. Lowery gets
acquainted with the case the better it
will be for him and his company We
are not unmindful Of the fact the street

The lives Of four WOrkingmen were
lost in a fire which occurred at the
Fifth Avenue hotel Thursday morning.
Among the unfortunates was John
Myers; a member of the freight hand

The other unfortunates were Abe
Fletcher, blacksmith; Duncan Mc1n-
tyre, a teamster for Stone Ordean-

whether or not any Of these had been
affiliated with a labor organization,
although it is reported as we go to
press that Duncan Mcintyre was at
one time a member of the teamsters'
union. His family resides at 1928 West
8th street, and it is said on account

Abe Fletcher was blacksmith, and
was regularly employed by an East

considerable property. Mr.. Fletcher
was also interested in an orange grove
in the south. He leaves a family in
Bay City.
August Johnson. the cook. whose body
was not discovered until late Thursday
morning, had just come to town. He
is woods cook, and whenever he came
to Duluth he made the Fifth Avenue
