TRADES ASSEMBLY ms
e most LIVELY Meeting
James Walsh Is Endorsed For
Position Of superintendent
of Labor Bureau.

The first meeting Of the Trades As
sen1bly In Its new quarters In the
Kalamazoo building was held last Fri
day evening. There was an exceed
ingly large attendance and much bust
ness was transacted. The most i'm
portant business of the evening was
the endorsement Of James Walsh fol-
the appointment Of Superintendent OF
the Free Labor Bureau at Duluth. The
secretary was ordered to inform the
governor and the labor commissioner
of the action Of the assembly.
Rev. Kirby s. Miller of the Unitarian
church delivered a most able speech
on the child labor problem.
Mr. Miller's speech was a strong,
Interesting and instructive one, and
the delegates showed their apprecia-
ton by paying strict attention
throughout the half hour in which the
address was being given. Mr. Miller
Dor and offered few suggestions for
the betterment of the conditions
throughout the country.
I'VE must get public sentiment
against these evils" said Mr.. Miller.
I'VE must outgrow them and get the
people to outgrow them. You can go
into many Of the states and there are
only few child labor laws If there
are any The most advanced states in
this regard have the age limit only as
high as 16 years and the limit in most
states Is under IA years.
There can be no question as to the
evil results of child labor. 1t ruins the
life of a child to be working all day.
From the years when child is from
II to Is is the period when all boys
and girls are learning. The moral de-
cline when they are put to work In
factories. mills or the coal mines is
not pleasant to think about. In the
south there are now $4,000 children
under IA years Of age working in the
cotton mills, glass mills and factories
long hours every day.
IF boys and girls are worn out and
eroW old at the age of Is they have
Eassed the point when they can be-
come more efficient and skilled and we
all know that in the next generation
there is going to be more and more Of
a demand for skill and efficiency in
tAC "OI1u IL Is Sd1u lHdl Ill SOI1l0
families it is necessary for the child
rem to work in order to keep the family
going, but I think that if the children
are not allowed to work the fathers
will be able to earn enough in most
cases to support his family.
What this state lacks Is more in
spectors. We have some of the best
child labor laws in the country, but
one or two inspectors cannot cover so
large field. The child labor laws
must be enforced and therefore we
must have more inspectors. But this
is not merely a state or local question:
1t is a national question and we must
have a national remedy
After Mr.. Miller had finished speak,
ing, the assembly voted their thanks
and appreciation and made him an
honory member of the body.

ECHOES OF THE STRIKE.

All is serene in building trade circles
with the exception of the unsettled
state of affairs in the sheet metal in
dustry. The electrical workers set
tied Monday on a basis of $3.65 for
the eight+hour day. All Of the strike
breakers have left town. The other
trades are back to work, and every
thing is moving along as if nothing
happened.
Unless the timers situation becomes
aggravated nothing further will oc-
cur this season to prevent the unin-
terrupted progress of the building in
dustry.
M. J. Harvey, the business agent of
the Building Trades Alliance has his
hands full these days. He must travel
from Lakeside. to West Duluth, and
from Park Point to Woodland to see
that every job is manned by union
men, and a busy time he has in deed.
Harvey is making good as business
agent.
J. P. Noonan, vice president of the
Electrical Workers international
Brotherhood, left Tuesday evening for
the east. He settled the strike with
satisfaction to all, and he was Of i'm
mense value to the other unions in
adjusting the difference existing.

The annual election Of delegate to
the international Typograp hical union
convention was held Wednesday aft
ernoon in every city in the country
where there is local union of print
ers. The election is held under the
Australian ballot system, and much in
terest is usually centered In the sew
eral contests for office.
There was no opposition for the Of
fees Of president or secretary Of the
international union, but when it came
to selecting a delegate to the annual
convention a pretty local contest was
Waged.
The contestants were Augustine
Murphy, the popular secretary of the
local union, and Herbert Wilson, their
able president. Murphy is employed
at the office Of the Evening Herald,
while Wilson holds "sit" at the News
Tribune. Unfortunate as 1t may seem
there Is usually rivalry between
members In the several chapels, and
this frequently has much to do with
the selection Of delegates.
There were II votes cast. Murphy
received SO and Wilson received 80.
only winning by one vote. The con-
vention will be held at Hot Springs,
Ark. in August.
There was some talk among local
prints Of making an effort to have the
1908 convention meet In Duluth. A
movement in this direction would be
ably supported by every public spirited
body In the city.

ORGANIZE NEW U|0NN
Fifty Shop Employees Bind Them

elimination, of This Will Bring
Every Man in Proctor in
Labor Union,

The formal organization of the Rail.
road shopmen's union at Proctor was
held last Friday evening. There was
an attendance of so members, and
much enthusiasm was manifested in
the meeting.
Organizer w. q. McEwen, who was
present, installed the union, and turn
ed the charter over to the officers.
The locals number is A. F. of L.,
12471.
Fifteen new members were admitted
and the obligated was administered to
the entire union. The following Off,
GERS were installed: President, James
Gleason; vice president, Frank Scha-
bert; recording secretary, M. B. John
son; treasurer, H. A. Sanders; finan-
c1al secretary, William Giertz; marsh
al, Fred Tombly; guard, John Taylor;
trustees, R. McGrath, James McGil-
livray and Christ Atkinson.
This Organization will admit to
membership any man employed at the
shops who is not eligible to any other
OF the existing unions there. Many
trades are represented there, but there
are not enough members to organize
a union, and the shopmen's union will,
therefore, be an organization consist
Ing of several different trades. The
workmen of the different trades will
be classified. according to the work
and wages they receive.
The union is not organized for the
purpose of antagontzing any interests
at Proctor, but it will afford a pro-
lection to the men, and will enable
them to secure conferences with rail-
road officials at regular intervals in a
more satisfactory manner than has
prevailed in the past.
The new union has affiliated with
the State Federation of Labor, and
will elect delegate to the St Cloud
convention.

APPENDICITIS CURED
WITHOUT OPERATION
DR.. A. Graham, Chiropractor,
Gives Names Of Many He

No Necessity For Undergoing the
Knife When Science Can Do

1t has been demonstrated in many
instances during my last two years Of
practice that appendicitis can be cured
without the knife.
In order that the skeptic may not
entertain any doubt in his mind re-
lative to the truth Of this statement,
I hereby submit the evidence, by CIV

few of tine many patients ! have been

worth knowing, that in each and every
case herein mentioned, the patient
first consulted the family physician

and the same time advised an opera

as that would tie the only way a cure
could be affected. However, these
fortunate peur , Gid not think so, and

BOSS TIMERS TURN
..- s.. DOWN THEIR Member

The most regretable feature of the
late strike is the refusal OF the boss
sheet metal workers to ratify the &C
ton of their committeeman In the adj
justment Of differences at the confer
ence over which Bishop McGolrick, SO
ably presided.
At this conference the powers Of
the committees were carefully and full
~ discussed, and the minutes OF the
meetings plainly show that each side
openly stated that it was clothed with
power to act. An agreement was ent-
cred into at the conference. This
agreement was ratified by the union,
but since then the bosses have been
hedging and the members of the union
are still. on strike. ~. -.
The union is endeavoring to in

the agreement. It is hoped by all
that tho trouble Will be- brought to- q
