ARMY MEN BELIEVE
DATT0 ALI ALIVE

Journal Special Service.
Washington, May 30.-Army officers
here give credence to the dispatches
from Manila stating that Datto Ali,
who was reported killed some time ago,
has turned up and is alive. They are
fortified in their belief by recalling
the case Of the notorious bandit Fell
zardo, who was the terror Of Cavite
province during the days of the Span
ish occupation of the Philippines. Fell
zardo had been guilty Of crimes so out
rageous that the government offered
reward of $4,000 for him, dead or
alive. The constabulary, after a des-
perate fight in the Jungle, brought in
what was declared to be the body Of
Felizardo. It was, in fact, identified
by. several Filipinos and the reward
paid. ..
Three months ago some of the bri-
gand's relatives, who had quarreled
with him, told the authorities that he
was alive and that they could disclose
his whereabouts. So some Filipinos
started after him, and this time they
succeeded in killing the outlaw. The
government had to pay the reward a
second time.

THE TYPOGRAPHICAL

w. r. Eastman, Vice President of
the Union Resigns-Will
Leave the City.
Timothy O'Flaherty Chosen to
Fill Out the Remainder of
the Term of Office.

Walter r. Eastman. vice president
of the union, and delegate to the Du-
luth Federated Trades assembly,
handed In his resignation from the
offices which he held. Mr. Eastman
intends to leave the city at an early
date for the West. He has at all times
been an energetic and most enthusias-
TIC worker IN all matters pertaining to
his craft and the cause Of unionism In
general, and it is with regret that his
fellow Workmen learn of his intention
to leave the city.
Mr.. Eastman has held the office of
vice president Of the local union for
TWO terms. During the past year he
has worked increasingly and most de-
votedly to the advancement of the
elght-hour day. He has held several
committee appointments filling them
with honor to himself and the union.
In fact he has never been found want
ing when any work was to be done
tending to upbuild the I. T. U. and the
Duluth Typographical union.
An election to fill the office Of vice
president vacated by Mr.. Eastman was
held. Mr.. T. O'Flaherty was chosen
to fill that position for the unexpired
term. He was Immediately installed
and has already taken up the duties
of his office.
For delegate to the Duluth Federat-
ed Trades assembly Mr.. Carl Boerner

FAVOR ARMY CANTEEN

washington, D. c., Nov. 8, 1906
The resolutions favoring the restor-
alton Of the army canteen for the sale
Of beer and light wines to soldiers
under proper restrictions, unanimous
ly adopted by Advance tent, Independ-
ent Order of Rechabites, Of this city,
perhaps the Oldest temperance organ
ization in the world, have aroused
great interest in temperance circles.
Many members Of this order are men
who have served In the army, know all
about the evil effects of excessive
drinking from personal experience, and
they realize that the abolition Of the
canteen is responsible for the increase
Of drunkenness among soldiers.
Under present conditions, the soldier
drinks at low resorts on the outskirts
OF army posts, without any restric-
tions whatever. With the canteen, as
advocated by the Rechabites; he will
drink under government supervision
and restrictions. under which overin-
diligence is impossible.
In addition, the Rechabites propose
that the government, In framing the
canteen law, should discriminate
strongly in favor Of beer, which has
very small percentage Of alcohol, and
light wines. It is believed that the
soldier will be satisfied with these
beverages obtained under favorable
conditions, and that he will be less
likely to indulge in vile and ardent
liquors than at present.
This action Of the Rechabites has
the support of army officers and mill
itary organizations. The Spanish War
Veterans, at their recent convention
here unanimously directed its legisla-
tive committee to press Congress for
the restoration Of the canteen.
The, Rechabites maintain that by
making it possible for soldiers to OBJ
tain such comparatively harmless
liquors as beer and light wines under
government regulations. the cause of
true temperance will be better upheld
than by driving them to low resorts
beyond the government reservations.

EIGHT HOUR DAY Y
FOR PRINTERS
Eight Reasons Why the Demand
Was Made for the
Shorter Day.
The Typographical Union Is
Right in Its Demands.
Must Win. !:

Justice, published in Cleveland by
the Cleveland Typographical union,
gives the following reasons why the
Typographical union was actuated in
demanding it:
1. 1t was desired to bring the book
and job printers up to the level of the
newspaper printers. The newspaper
men had enjoyed the eight hour day
for over ten years.
2. There are a sufficient number of
printers to do the work in eight hours.
3. An eight hour workday has been
the goal toward which labor has been
striving for many years, and the time
is auspicious for the Inauguration in
our trade.
4. Printing is an indoor occupat ton,
and Is not healthy one on this ac-
count and also on account of poison
from the dust from type metal.
S. The management and conduct Of
progressive printing offices is much
more intensive than formerly. The time
check system is in general vogue,
which results in getting more work
out Of the men.
6. The work Of the printers is gen.
orally very monotonous. and trying on
the nervous system. For that reason
1t is true that printer can and will
do more work per hour (week in and
week out), in an eight hour day than
when he is compelled to work longer
hours.
Z. The wage worker very often has
much TO do in the way of work about
his home, which is hired done by men
better fixed financially. He is seldom
through when his days work at the
shop IS done.
g.. Men should have sufficient time
and vitality left after the days work
for mental improvement and recrea-

STATE FREE BUREAU
IS MAKING RECORD
Labor Commissioner Williams
Reports Good Results From
Free Bureau.
Many Men and Women are Given
Employment Employers
Satisfied With It,

ST. PAUL, Nov. In the last leg
islature bill was introduced by Hon.
John F. Selb establishing a free labor
employment bureau in this state. Mr..
Selb succeeded in having his measure
enacted into law. The expectations
entertained concerning its value to
men seeking employment have been
fully realized as will be seen from the
reference made to the Selb law. con-
tained in the report Of Hon. w. H.
Williams, commissioner of labor. That
report says:
During the last session Of the leg
1slature Of the state Of Minnesota. a
bill was introduced, providing for
public employment bureau, under the
direction Of the labor commissioner.
On June 1, 1905, such a bureau was
opened In Minneapolis. The bureau
has proved a success from the start,
having placed a far greater number
of men and women than was anticipa-
ted. A short study was made of the
free employment bureaus of other
states by Mr.. Levy, who accepted their
this office. It means the placing of
many people in the towns throughout
the state when they most need them,
and there has always seemed to be
many more than can be provided with
work in the city. During the last two
months Of the last fiscal year, this be-
ing the first two months Of this office,
June and July, 1,034 men found en-
ployment through the public employ
ment bureau and 287 women. From
June 1 to Jan. /, 1906, 1879 men and
1915 women found employment, MAX
ing total of 4,994. At the close of
the day, June 1, 1906, the end of the
first twelve months, our records show
that 5,513 men and 1904 women max
ing a total Of 9,S17 This, in itself

report Of the bureau shows the many

from the start to the present time the
employers of better classes of labor
have called upon the bureau for Its

report always shows a greater number
of common ;laborers and mon in that

THE RUSSIAN PEASANT.

One finds in the Russian peasant a
remarkable capacity for cooperation.
Nor 1t this confined to agriculture
alone, for Russia Is tensely and COM
pactly knitted with what are known
as artels or unions, and their starosti.
During the past generation many
large manufacturers have found that
these cooperative associations can be
readily developed into promising man.
ufacturing centers-and this is being
done throughout the empire
In the provinces of Vladimir and
Moscow alone more than 10000 peas
ants devote their winters to silk-Weav-
ing, and a far greater number to the
weaving Of cotton, linen and woolen
fabrics. More than 100000 peasants
are numbered among cooperative as
sociations for the building Of carts,
carriages and sledges. And many Of
their products are highly artistic, be-
ing used by the wealthiest classes, in
Guiding the Imperial family. Over
10000 moujiks are now engaged in
different branches Of cooperage and
about the same number in furniture
and cabinet making. Preparing and
manufacturing sheepskin and fur coats
are more than 350,0O0 peasants, who
thus work through the winters in their
own svietelkas, often miles and more
from the nearest railway. Imposing
as these figures are, they really fall
short of the mark, as they only relate
to the associat tions officially registered

when they take. on the drown
studies which seize them occa.
sionally, campaigns are quiet and
uncertain, and no man can pre-
dict with any degree of certainty
the outcome of an election. 1t was
So this year. The work of Law
son, of Phillips and Sinclair had
caused the American people more
serious study than any event in
American politics since the rebel
lion, and the result crystallized in
demand for men rather than par
ty, and appeals to party loyalty
and prejudice fell on deaf ears.
Out of the labrynth of local is
sues in the various states, out of
the chaos of national influences that
entered largely into every contest
and made each one different, came
clear issue of "the man and the
hour" The claim that the Amer
1can people are Indifferent to their
own interests was disproved in
many instances, the most notable
of which was that of the election
Of John A. Johnson as governor of
Minnesota. Nowhere was the
question of the people versus the
money power more clearly drawn.
Nowhere was the line, of demarca-
ton. more distinct. Mr.. Johnson
stood alone on his record of two.
years of loyal service, nor could the
nationality cry be raised as 1t was
two years ago. It was we'll known
that Mr.. Johnson was with the
people. -.
Gov. Johnson's plurality two
years ago was 5000. On last
Tuesday it was $4,000. The fig
ures carry their own story. This
state virtually switched its normal
Republican strength to Mr.. John
son-not because he is Demo-
crat, but because he is what he is.
Strange things are happening, and
will continue to happen in politics.
Men are no longer ashamed to vote
as their conscience says Is right,
and party lines and bossism are
gone forever. The sooner the poll
ticians of the country recognize this
fact the better 1t will be for them.
Congressman McCleary's defeat in
the Second district brings this fact
plainly to view, for his district was
the hotbed of Minnesota Republic
anism. Yet he went down to de-
cisive defeat because he said, 'If
the tariff is to be changed, make
