c, NJ, BRANDT IS. FOUND
DEAD IN HIS ROOM
Prominent Member Of the Pain
ters' Union Succumbs Sud-
denly to Bright's Disease.
Was Active Union Man, and at
One Time He Edited Prom
inent Eastern Labor Paper.

There was a two days strike last
week on account of misunderstand-
ing among the building 1aborers and
hod carriers. The union had made
demand for the eight and one-half
hour day and 80 cents an hour. This
was conceded by the contractors. At
the same time a threat was made that
the builders would enforce the open
shop. The union did not wait for de-
velopments but went on strike forth
with.
It is one OF the rules of the Struc-
tural Building Trades Alliance that no
union can go on strike without first
submitting its grievance to the ALI
ance. This the local organization in
question failed Ito do, and when the
Board Of Governors considered the
proposition they ordered the union
back to work. Assurance was given
that If the bosses attempted to force
the open shop the builders laborers
would be given the support OF every
building trades Organization In town. :

BUILDING LABOREBS
HAVE SHORT Strike
Union Goes On Strike in Hurry
But Is Ordered Back by
Building Trades Alliance.
If Contractors Attempt to
Force the Open Shop It may
Call for General Strike.

C. M. Brandt of the painters union
was found dead last Saturday morning
in his bachelor apartments in the west
end. An inquest showed that he had
died from acute Bright's disease, and
from the position of his body it was
evident that he had suffered great
pain.
The funeral was held Wednesday
from Durham & Crawford's morgue
under the auspices OF the Painters
union.
Mr.. Brandt came to Duluth four
years ago, and from the moment he
became member of the Painters
union he took an active interest in
labor matters. Prior to coming here
he had edited a prominent, German
labor paper in the east. He lived the
life of a. hermit, and very little Is
known of his personal relations. He
was a man of strong convictions and
so had his enemies as well as his
friends. After the spring election he
was withdrawn from the Trades AS
semby by his union because of making
groundless charges against some of
the officers.
Outside Of this his union record was
clear, and he performed some valuable
services for the movement in his time.

DULUTH HEIGHTS GOSSIP
BRIEF AND SOCIAL NEWS
Nine of Duluth Heights Favor
tie Young People Graduate
Into tie High School.
One of the Critical Times in
Their Lives-0ur Boys and
Girls Pass With Honors.

Every child looks forward with earn
est hopes to the time when it may be
able to pass from the grammar grades
into the high school. Some are for
tunate enough to pass through several
graduating exercises the
high school, normal, university and
professional college,-but none Of
these is appreciated like the exercises
of the Eighth grade graduating class.
We shall never forget the preparations
we underwent to pass into the high
school. We didn't sleep for two nights
preceding the event. If our memory
serves US rightly we fitted on our
times In the wee sma' hours of the
last night. We shall never forget our
disappointment when negligent
member of the Board of Education
failed to sign our diploma, and for
whose signature we were obliged to
wait two weeks. All of the excitement
had passed away by that time, and, we
never really appreciated the sheep
skin when it was handed to US fort
night too late.
Over 600 of the future men and
women OF this great nation graduated
from the grade schools into the high
school last evening, but among all that
number none passed with more honors
than did Mary Emily Gregory Merritt,
Rayonette Caroline Adams, Emillie
Amundson, Raymond Charley Butler,
William Aaron Donaldson, Tobie Ele-
witch, Frederick Charles Fawcett, Her
bert George Christensen and George
Landsen Neville, the nine pupils who
composed the eighth grade class Of
the Lowell school Of Duluth Heights
We have known most of these schol-
ars from their baby days, and hence
we are unusually interested in them.
It was with considerable pride that
we learned of the high scholarships
attained by our girls and boys, and it
is hoped that they will apply the same
energy and sincerity to their work
through life as they did in their last
Year In the grammar school. We be-
lieve that this is one of the critical
times In the lives of each of these
young people. Today they are begin
ming to lay the foundation for char
acter which will determine the course
of their future. Oh, that each may
appreciate his personal responsibility
and make the best of the next four
years in the high school.
