VIOLENT EARTH SHOCKS
EXPERIENCED IN WALES

CARDIFF, Wales. June 27.-Violent
earth shocks were experienced
throughout South Wales at 9:45 this
morning. Houses rocked and many of
the cheaper ones were damaged. Hun
dreds of chimneys fell, pictures were
shaken from walls, occupants Of dwell

people fled from their houses, shrek

Francisco disaster before them.
Though there were many narrow
escapes from falling chimneys and
copings, there were no casualties so

were also felt at Bristol, 1lfracombe
and elsewhere. They were accom-

to the point of consideration Of the
different aspirants for union offices
and jobs. The purpose Of this article
is to consider that portion of the mem
bership of unions who look upon
unions as charitable, favor or job dis
pensing institutions for their particu-
lar benefit That those members who
have faithfully served in the interests
Of the union should be given the pref
erence, other things being equal, is not
questioned by the writer, but fitness
rather than sentiment, good fellowship
or past service must determine who
are to fill the various offices and jobs,
If the best interests of the union are to
be considered. 1t is absurd for a
union to reward members for past SER
vices with jobs they are untitled to
fill, yet how often are members found
pointing to the service they performed.
which they elected or were elected to
perform, as a claim upon the jobs of
the union. 1t is folly for union to
retain a member in position regard
less of activities or ability in the past,
after he has outlived his usefulness to
the union. Good fellowship should be
considered only in connection with fit
ness and never separate from it in the
apportionment of jobs. Personal ambi-

and have no valid claim upon offices or
Jobs, beyond equal opportunities to Sc
cure them. Nevertheless, the ambi-
lions of members sometimes lead them
to aspire to offices or jobs that, from
the standpoint of previous training, ex-
perience or ability, they are untitled.
The work and sacrifices of members
in the interests of union can be and
should be rewarded in a proper way,
but it is rendering less effective the
work of the union and adding union
sacrifices to individual sacrifices to at
tempt it through union offices or jobs.
1t may be said that unions should
make sacrifices for those who sacri-
feed for the union. This may be true,
but, if such a course is to be adopted,
the union could easily make provisions
for that purpose without sacrificing it's
welfare. The successful management
of the affairs of unions, as of other
organizations, business enterprises and
institutions, is dependent upon the
ability of it's officers and employers to
properly perform their duties.
There are many members who fail
to give this the important considera-
ton and support it deserves.

UNION OFFICERS AND JOBS,

trades-union owes to it's members,
individually and collectively, it's best,
undivided efforts to improve their in
dustrial conditions, but it owes no
member job.
Managing the affairs of trades-union
and prosecuting it's work requires the
services Of limited number of indi-
viduals. The largest unions probably
do not regularly employ the services
OF more than so people, The best in
terests of union demand the en-
ployment of those best qualified to
perform that service, and the execu-
tive officers, the responsible heads of
the union, are best situated to deter
mine the qualifications of those who
are to work under their direction,
However gifted an officer may be with
executive ability, he can accomplish
relatively little if his hands are tied.
The choice of his subordinates can
be wisely left to him.
The smaller affairs of trades-union
should claim the least possible atten.
ton OF the executive officers, which
would leave them free to devote the
largest possible share of time, thought
and energy to the more serious affairs
and problems. This they can do when
they have capable assistants, otherwise
their time and attention is occupied
more than it should be by the less i'm.

field of activities and effectiveness is
restricted and valuable service lost to
the organization. Undoubtedly, the

LABOR'S ADVENT INTO POLITICS.

Since the Minnesota State Fedora
ton of Labor decided by unanimous
vote to become an active force in legis-
lative politics in this state politicians
are sitting up and taking notice. Some
of them are beginning to regret that
they have been so careless in their at
tention to the cries of labor for legis-
lative relief. Others are coming out in
platforms almost identical with that
adopted by the Saltwater convention.
Union labor is already bearing the
first fruit resulting from the declara-
ton to go into politics. It's demands
are to be given recognition. Whether
the politicians are sincere or not they
are at least promising to be real good
to us. That helps some, but what is
needed most of all is the election Of a
dozen good, solid, honest and knowing
union men to the state legislature, who
can intelligently present the demands

Amusement Resort To
Start Saturday.
Begins Business Under Favorable
Auspices With Fine Line
of Attractions.

Tomorrow Duluth's new White City
will throw open its doors to the public
for the first time.
During the last six months, much
has been heard Of Duluth's new amuse-
ment venture, but tomorrow Duluth
people will have an opportunity of
Judging of it for themselves.
The company holds out the promise
that the park will be made a popular
playground in every sense of the word
and that every effort will be made to
furnish innocent amusement at a very
moderate cost.
An ideal spot has been chosen for
the park. It is located on one of the
prett1est parts of the picturesque point,
and the natural beauty of the spot
will be left undisturbed, as far as pos
sible.
Beautiful winding paths have been
laid out, and benches placed under the
trees at convenient points.
The park has one of the finest bath
ing beaches that can be found any
place, and the facilities for boating
are unsurpassed.
The company is making a big fea-
ture of its free attractions, and every
week the list is changed. At the OPEN
Ing there will be four free acts, in

The other shows are numerous and
varied in their nature, and include the

water chute. Hale's touring CA, the

mans zoo. This latter show will also
be free, and it is bound to prove a big
attraction to the children. A good be-
ginning toward a first class geological
garden has been made, and the COL
lection of animals now includes four
bears, four wolves, three deer, porcu-
pine, and an owl. The list will be add
ed to from time to time, and during
the next year or two it will be made
a very presentable collection.
The White City will be kept free of
the rowdy element at all costs, and it
will be place where workin gman
can send or take llis family for an af-
ternoon's outing, without any fear of
insult, either from ethe patrons of the
place, or from the nature of the shows.
Outside the park is a free picnic
ground which can be used for basket
picnics at no expense whatever.
In fact, the White City seems to fill
a long felt want in Duluth, providing
as it does, endless opportunities for
outdoor amusement at a price which is
within the reach of the most slender
purse.
