Attempts to Induce Newspaper

That a well-planred attempt is be-

against municipal ownership, recently
came to light here. A local newspaper

umn for all matter detrimental to
municipal ownership which he sue
ceeded in getting into the columns Of
any daily paper in the northwest. The
Minneapolis and st. Paul dailies were
the special papers mentioned as being
the most desirable.
Any matter which would tend to
show that municipal ownership plants
in Duluth, or any of the northern Min
nesota towns, were losing ventures or
unsuccessful, was considered fair
game. The correspondent was told to
keep track of all matter Of this nature
which he could have published, and to
send his "string' to a certain lockbox
In Milwaukee. He was to receive a
check at the end Of the month at the

Something About Robert Price, a
Sturdy Miner, Who Suggest
ed the Great Holiday.
Dramatic Scene in K. of L. Con-
vention When He Carried Mo-
ton Through House.

The recurrence of labor's annual
holiday this year finds the organized
workingmen and workingwomen. of
the United States stronger in numbers
than ever before. When it is con-
sidered that the trades union move
ment on this side of the Atlantic has
extended over only about a century,
it's progress is truly amazing. The
earliest known trade union composed
of journeymen was the New York So
clety of Journeymen Shipwrights,
which. was legally incorporated in
1903. In the same city three years
later unions Of tailors and carpenters
were formed, and in 1919 a union of
hatters was organized.
Thus the history of the trade union
movement goes back a century, but
the inception Of Labor Day is Of
much more recent date: And among
the many hundreds. of thousands of
Workmen who. in the first Monday of
September each year parade the
streets in labors cause, it is safe to
assume that of all that vast throng
not one in 10000 can name him who
is, by right, father" of Labor Day.

man to whom all honor Of Labor Day
is due. And yet his name is we'll
nigh forgotten in labor circles his
very whereabouts being uncertain. He
was last heard Of In Kansas, an old
man Of 70 or more. .*c
! But quarter Of century ago Price
was a sturdy miner, bringing forth by
the sweat Of his brow and the Drawn
OF his strong arms the treasures of
Mother Earth. At that time the
Knights Of Labor was approaching
the zenith of it's power, which con-
tinued to increase until 1886, when the
American Federation Of Labor gained
the ascendency. One Of the strongest
workers for the knights Of Labor in
his own district was Price. Early and
late he 4ab bored for the cause, ana
when in 1881 Local Assembly s4s met
to- choose q delegate to the General
Assembly OF the Knights Of Labor it
was but natural that the choice should
fall upon Price. ssg5 fz3as 81 81

UNAVOJDARL.E.

In the early days of his ministry
Bishop Bascomb of the southern Meth
odlst church was severely handicapped,
says the author of "Women Of the Con-
federacy," by the fact that he was
handsome and graceful. He was con-
sidered "too much Of dandy and for
long time was sent on mountain cir
cults to bring him down to the level Of
old fashioned Methodism.
AS last resort, when. he continued
to appear "dandif1ed," one Of his
mountain members persuaded the min
lister to wear suit of homespun that
ne might be more in harmony with
his listeners. The next morning he
went esEly to- service to see the sue
cess of his scheme.

order to which he had given so much
Of his time, Price entered the conven-
ton hall. The convention meeting
was filed with the life and spice of
the pageant just witnessed and many
remarks were made on the occasion.
At a moment when there was a mo-
mentary hush in the babel Of voices
about him, Price arose. p.
Tall, well-formed and in the flush Of
manhood, he stood erect. He leaned
far over the balcony in which he was
seated and caught the eye of Master
Workman Powderly. For a moment
his voice was hardly heard above the
din Of sounds. Gradually the noise
about him became less and soon his
full round tones were heard in the
farthest recesses of the great hall. At
the conclusion of his address, which
was filled with rhetorical bursts Of
oratory, he stopped for. "a moment, and
with a voice choked with emotion and
showing the depth of his feelings, he
said: Il move you, Mr.. Chairman,
that it be the unanimous decision Of
this convention that hereafter one day
Of the year shall be set aside and on
that day labor shall not labor. but go
forth and show that T. is free and
glories in the right Of its prowess." II
He sat down and. the cheering
which followed his remarks and mo-:
ton made the building fairly rock as
1000 men sprang to their feet. At.
last, when he managed to restore Or
der, Powderly, turning toward Price,:
asked: And what do you intend to
call that day." Quickly and without;
a moments hesitation Price sprang to,
his. feet and exclaimed, Labor Day"
Again was all semblance of order
destroyed, and the meeting came to a
sudden end, but not until Prices mo-
ton had been carried with over
whelming numbers. :
Now Labor Day is observed as a
legal holiday in all the States and
Territories; of the United States ex-
cept Nevada, North Dakota and
Wyoming. Its observance has spread.
across the Canadian border and the
day is now generally celebrated over
a large section of the Dominion. 70.
