LABOR / W0hLD TO GIVE
ASSEMBLY, PROCEEDINGS
Official Proceedings Of Duluth
Trades Assembly to Ap-
pear Regularly
Central Body Puts a Ban on
Certain Unfair Hammers.
Union Men Beware.

In another column will be found the
Official proceedings of the Trades as
se1nbly of this city. At the last meet
ing arrangements were made for the
publication Of the official proceedings
after each meeting Of Duluth's great
central labor union. This new depart
ure, which shows the progress and en-
terprise of Duluth union men, will be
greeted with pleasure by the large
number of union men who are interest
ed in the work of the assembly, but
who have no means of learning what
is being done there.
President Shartel is gaining an envi-
able reputation for conducting the
business of the assembly with rapidity
and dispatch. He is proving to be a
most capable presiding officer.
Secretary J. A. Barron created quite
a surprise when he resigned his office
last Friday evening. He has made an
efficient officer and his resignation was
accepted with regret.
Union men have at last concluded to
pass up a certain kind of hammers.
There is boycott on all hammer
singers who use the unfair product
Of the Maydele Hammer Manufacture
ing company. All union men should
bear this fact in mind,
A number Of new delegates were in
stalled Three were from the Steam
Engineers union, two from the BARRIERS
and one from the Timers. George
Shepard, better known as "Shep," the
popular base ball player, is now full
fledged delegate from the Timers un-
ion. 1t is hoped that Shep will sue
coed in making some honest meaning
fellows play good BALI with the as
sembly. ...,s.
Resolutions were adopted asking the
Legislature to enact law permitting
the polls at school elections to remain
open after pm. The resolutions will
be found in the official proceedings.
The Boilermakers' union asked for
remittance of dues, and the assembly
would have cheerfully compiled with
the request were it not for the
fact that other unions would make the
same demand, and the assembly would
find its resources considerably reduced.

DULUTH HEIGHTS GOSSIP
BRIEF AND SOCIAL news
Neighbor Parker is Getting a
National Reputation as
aLecturer.
Brings Back New Laurels Won
in Eaterprising Wiscon-
sin City.

That our good tured neighbor, J.
H. M. Parker, is getting a national
reputation in his advocacy Of Canadian
soil, is evident from the following COM
plimentary notice which we clip from
an Oshkosh paper of recent date:
J. H. NJ. Parker Of Duluth, MIMI,
gave an interesting lecture on western
Canada at the Company armory Sat-
urday evening. During the course or
his remarks Mr. Parker said that ne
favored the annexation of Canada to
the United States inasmuch as the laws,
religion and language of the two coun-
tries were similar. Primarily the OBJ
ject Of Mr.. Parkers visit here IS to
interest the people of Oshkosh In the
farming lands of western Canada, and
with this end in view he devoted his
remarks particularly to the laborlng
men.
Last year. he said the Canadian gov
eminent had succeeded in getting $780,
600 Americans to emigrate to western
Canada and take up claims and this
year heb believed this number would
be doubled. He drew glowing picture
OF the undeveloped wealth of the coun-
try, and forcibly illustrated his remarks
by showing pictures Of the territory
which ne alluded to. He said that the
country of which he was speaking was
a vast tract Of prairie land 1000 by
500 miles IN extent, and the land, ne
said was as good as that of Winnebago
county.
The government would give free to
any settler over eighteen years OF age
$50 acres OF land, providing he lived on
It for three years. At the end that
time, heb maintained it would be easily
worth between $4,000 and $4,000. This
he said was much better than the la
borer could do by working in the fac
tory. He would be independent al
ways able to make his own livelihood
on the farm, and panic or hard times
would have no terrors for him.
Not many years ago, he said, land
went begin gin Manitoba, but now it
was worth $40 an acre: He said he mad
been a mounted police in Canada and
that at the expiration Of his service
the government gave him $40 acres OF
fine farming land in Manitoba. This he
sold for $50. Now it would be worth
easily $4,000. He said the same con-
ditions that prevailed in Manitoba tlf-
teen or twenty years ago IS now true
Of Alberta, and that within ten years
land there would be worth $40 an acre.
The land In Alberta, he said, was one
vast rolling prairie, the same as IN
southern Wisconsin and just as good.
Manitoba contains $4,000 squarer miles,
and at present two trans-continental
railways were building through Alber-
ia and Manitoba, making three in all.
The land was very fertile and theh most
excellent for the growing Of No. l hard
wheat which averaged thirty-ei
bushels per acre. He spoke Of the i'm
migration building at Winnipeg and
said that Of all the immigrants that
came TO Canada no Americans ever
passed through the immigration build
ing The latter were thrifty and good
farmers, and the Canadians wanted the
American in preference to others.

Finds That it Does Not Pay to
Scab, and That the Rich
Have Short Memories.
After Loyalty Supporting Beef
Trust His Wages Are Ma
terially Reduced.

There is young man in Duluth who
is working for one of the big packing
houses. and up to last Saturday even
ing his salary was $1S per week. Last
summer during the heat of the great
packing house strike this young man
of a strike breaker at the company's
big Chicago plant. The young man
went willingly, for he figured that the
performance of a service for his COM
pany in time of need would be reward
ed by a possible advance in position
at the proper time.
At the Stock Yards he encountered
much trouble. He was assaulted sew
eral times, but he remained at his
chosen post until the strike was over.
Then he returned home to get the jeer-
ing and scoffing of his former friends.
His associates quietly passed him up.
Societies that he had previously Joined
began to slight him. Then he finally
discovered that he had made q serious
mistake.
With him in the employ of the local
office were other men who had been
asked to go to the relief of the beef
trust, but who had bravely declined to
do so. These men, strange to say, were
continued in the service at the local
office. and today are enjoying the same
privileges and the same compensation
for their labor that prevailed previous
ly.
The young man who became the
strike breaker last Saturday evening
was informed that his wages had been
reduced from SIS to $12 per week. The
wages of the others were not dis
turbed. The company, knowing that
the young man would accept the re-
duction az he did the offer for work
during the strike, had no hesitancy in
cutting his wages. The others, who
time treated accordingly.
The moral in this experience is:
1.-THE rich have no real love for syco-
plants except to use them for selfish
purposes during trouble" In the end
men Of honor, with strong manhood
and self;respect, are required to do the
real, work in = peaceful industry. Il
never pays to scab, and no one knows
this better than the men who have
had the experiences. In other words, It
pays to be true to your fellow-man.
The rich know full well the truth Of
those words Of Will Carleton:
lie who Is false to one can be the

NO SETTLEMENT MADE
IN TIMERS TROUBLE
Building Trades Council Agree
ment Does Not Settle Me-
Martin Trouble.
Series of Long Past Troubles
Responsible for Failure
to Agree.

The Timers union held a most in
teresting meeting last Tuesday even
ing and discussed at length the trouble
In the McMartin shop. The Building
Trades Council had taken the matter
up and it was thought until Tuesday
evening that only the ratification by
the union was necessary to end the
trouble. During the discussion over the
matter new things came up, and the
immediate settlement of the matter now
seems as far off as ever.
It appears that Mr.. McMartin has
two men engaged in his shop doing
what he calls boilermakers' work. The
union contends that it Is timers work.
Under agreement with the Boilermak-
over 10 pounds is boilermakers' work,
while under this standard it is timers
work. In this case it is understood
that the men who are doing boiler
maker work are working on 12-pound
plate, and the union holds that this be-
longs to the timers.
There the matter hinges at this writ
ing, with no prospect of immediate
settlement. Last week the Labor
World, in commenting upon the diff
Guilty, mildly criticised both sides in the
controversy. 1t did not like the shifty
business methods of the union, and it
disliked the cold and unfeeling atti-
tude of the firm. During the trouble
the affairs have become so complicated
that it is hard to determine where to
begin to unravel them. We would sug-
gest that everything be wiped out, and
an effort made to get together from
this moment. Let the dead past bury
it's dead. II the union believes that
Mr.. McMartin has not been fair With
the union, Mr.. McMartin has the same
feeling towards the union. Possibly
when the entire matter Is sifted to the
bottom it may be found that the whole
series of troubles has resulted from
Misunderstanding Therefore, we adj
wise that the past be forgotten, and
that both sides begin from this mo-

ISLE OF SPICE MARCH II AND Is.
That the possibilities in the class OF
musical comedies which have for their
theme the antics Of impossible oriental
sultans and grotesque island kings, are
not exhausted. this it is said, Is most
emphatically proven in the charming
musical hit found in the isle Of Spice, -
which Manager b. C.. Whitney will pre-
sent at the Lyceum. No strong plot ID
claimed, for the isle of Spice" It
would scarcely be real musical comedy
II 1t had, but some Of the lines are said
to be extremely witty and the situ-
ations mirth provoking. However. Il
Is in them usic that the strong claims
are made, and which one finds the
most delight to be entertained. Some
Of the lyrics are Of q sweetness and
beauty seldom found In musical comedy.

One Dollar Saved Represents
Ten Dollars Earned.

The average man does not save to
exceed ten per cent OF his earnings.
He must spend nine dollars in living
expenses for every dollar saved. That
being the case be cannot be too care
ful about unnecessary expenses. Very
often few cents properly invested,
like buying seeds for his garden, will
save several dollars outlay later on.
It is the same in buying Chamber
lain's Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea
Remedy. It costs but few cents
and bottle of it in the house often
saves a doctors bill of several dollars.

Cotton Crop Hurt by Rain.

Washington, July 1.-THE Wealth
or Bureaus crop bulletin issued to-
day says: Over the greater part OF
the country from the South Atlantic
and Gulf coasts northward excessive
rainfalls have greatly hindered the
cultivation OF crops.
In the Carolinas, Georgia and
Florida, over the greater part OF
Alabama and in Southern Mississippi
cotton generally has done we'll. Good
growth is reported from central and
western districts, but much of the
crop has suffered deterioration, large
ly from lack of cultivation due to
continuous heavy rains.
In Tennessee, Northern Mississippi
and Louisiana, fields have been
abandoned to grass. Too rank
growth, more or less, ls reported IN
all districts, except the Carolinas and
Florida. Wet weather in Texas
favored increase of boil weeVils,
which also are causing loss in Louis
lana.
The general condition of tobacco
is promising, though the crop is
suffering for cultivation in Kentucky.
A good growth is reported from
nearly all the tobacco producing
States.

Physical Superiority Of Jews

Physical Superiority Of Jews.
Comparison Of Jews with other
people IN respect to their vitality are
made from time to time, and always
mako for Encouragement of the other
people in the competition. A new
one comes to hand by way of the
London Lancet, which publishes the
result OF an investigation OF the
physical condition of children living
in the slums of Leeds. In every
case the Jewish children showed a
marked superiority in condition.
Comparisons were made OF 3,Ooo
children similarly situated as to age,
poverty, character and residence
The little eight year-old Jews were
three pounds heavier and two and
half inches taller than the Gentle
children Of like age. At ten, they
were six and quarter pounds heavier
and two and a half inches taller. At
twelve, seven pounds heavier and
cne and quarter inches taller. Jew

A Darlington Bank.
Columbia Record.

Columbia Record.
There was q rumor in the city this
morning that a large banking institu-
ton in Darlington had closed.
A telegram message from that city
confirmed the report, the Darlington
Trust company having closed it's doors
this morning. The cause of the dis
aster was stated to be the inability
of the bank to realize cash on paper
that was held by it and which il was
necessary in the course of business to
convert into money.
The amount of deposits in the
bank could not be definitely stated,
but it was said that the depositors
would not lose q dollar as it was
thought certain that with little time
all obligations would be met in full.
Naturally there was great deal OF
excitement amongst depositors, but
the statement that they would be
paid in full had reassuriDg effect.
The bank had a capital stock Of $780,
900 paid in and it was closely identi-
fed with various enterprises in Darl-
ington. What effect the failure will
have upon them could not be definite
ly stated, but The Records informant
seemed to take an optimistic view OF
the situation.
Lister information was that the In-
dependent Cotton Oil company was
involved aod went down with the
bank.
Keith Dargan is president Of the
bank.
