to q large employer Of labor, under the

civilization:
F1rst-The individual method of
agreement Is too uncertain, laborious
ana cumbersome, for adaptation to the
large volume of business, involved in
the: successful prosecution of modern
undertakings, whether on the railroads
or In factories. The aggregation Of
employees in each department of en-

: This, in a nutshell, is precisely what
trades unionisn aims to do and this is
what trades unionism is most credit
ably accomplishing along all lines Of
industrial endeavor. It is a blessing
alike to employers and employees
Under its benign influences neither
employer nor employe can depart from
the paths Of rectitude and justice, in
their mutual dealings the one with the
other. It says to the employer, >"your
1aborer is worthy Of hire that will be
reasonably comm mensurate with the
comm ercial, and economic standards of
our day. It says to the employe you
must render to your employer the very
best service of which you are capable
-fa1thfulness to your every trust must
characterize ali your actions" :.
1t enforces these principles by every
legitimate method. Knowing as we
do, the high character for honesty and
fairness OF the managers Of the D., M.
& N. Ry, we take this opportunity to
say to them that il the men, now on
1ongsnoremens Union there never
would have been TINS strike. The in
volatility of contracts is one Of the
leading principles Of that organism.
Howsoever strenuously, unionists may
insist upon concessions in the making
Of an agreement, yet, when once en-
tered into. its provisions must be sac
redly respected. 49,. .,

Poles Will be Open Saturday from
6 O'clock in the Morning Until
z O'clock in the Evening-Wo-
men Can Vote as Well as the
Men.

School election, Saturday. July goth.
Poles open from a. m. to p. m.
Every man and woman entitled to vote
should do so. and show their interest
IN the management Of our public
schools.
Labor has candidate at to-mor-
rows election. 1t is Chas. F. w. Hegg,
financial secretary of the Trades AS
sembly, a man of good moral charac-
ter, of sterling worthy, and thor
oughly honorable and upright citizen.
Labor nominated Mr.. Hegg. and it is
labor's duty to elect him, which 1t can
do with ease, for it has the votes.
If Mr.. Hegg Is beaten tomorrow it
will be cause labor takes little inter-
est in school elections. There is no
excuse for workingmen to remain
away from the poles at this school
election. because through the influ-
ence of union labor the state legisla-
ture was induced to extend the hours
of election so that workingmen would
have an opportunity to vote
In other school election the poles
were not opened until 10 o'clock in the
morning, and they were closed at I
o'clock IN the afternoon, permitting
only the leisure kind to vote Now It
is different, and the Labor World
hopes that workingmen In Duluth will
show by their votes tomorrow that the
legislature was justified in extending
the hours of election.
This paper has nothing against any
other candidate for election tomorrow
In fact it feels more than kindly to
some of them. We champion the
cause Of Mr. Hegg, because we believe
that labor ought to be represented on
our Board of Education. It Is folly to
believe that only business and profess
sional men are properly fitted to act as
members of the school board. To get
the best and most satisfactory results
every ys.!l class g. should yl9 be given EepEsssas
The mere matter OF locality Should
cut but little figure. There are. more
things in school affairs than the loca-
ton of school houses. Mr.: Hegg lives
in the central portion of the city, but
this should not deprive him Of the sup
port of people living in the eastern or
western portions OF Duluth. If the
present board wanted to be fair in a
distribution based on localities it
should have long ago set the example
by encouraging candidates to be elect
ed from the northerly portion of the
city. So the question of lacaHty is
simply raised for the purpose OF catch
ing votes by appealing to the local
pride of the citizen, with the hope that
their sense of fairness will prompt
them to vote for men from other por-
tions of the city. .
Mr. Hegg is a candidate for whom
labor needs to make no objection.
Men in other walks of life, both busi-
ness and professional are numbered
among his most ardent supporters be-
cause they know of his true worth.

UNION FREIGHT MEN
AND MANAGERS AGREE
New Twin City Trade Union
Makes Agreement With Rail
way Companies.
Fine Diplomacy Shown By Uniou
Officers in Effecting Good
Agreement.

MINNEAPOLIS, July 1s:-Freight
handlers and railway freight clerks Of
the twin cities have been granted in
crease in their wages, ranging from Z
to 15 per cent as a result Of negotia-
tions that have been in progress for
more than three months.
This concession on the part OF The
railroad companies affects in some de-
gree all grades of freight house em-
ployes> and freight clerks in st. Paul
and Minneapolis, but its most marked
result Is that it has equalized the sala-
.ries of freight clerks Of the different
railroads. 49,. -ss.5ss5
Members Of the Freight Handlers
Union are particularly pleased that the
new agreement has established some
think like systematic graduation Of
pay for different classes of men ana
gives them more definite schedule
than they have ever had before.
All in Good Humor.
The settlement between the railroad
companies and the freight handlers is
Dotable, particularly from the fact that
altho the negotiations have extended
over more than three months they
have been conducted thruout in the
most friendly spirit on both sides, and
there has never been a time when
there was talk of a strike. 49, IL 55s
The original request Of the employees
was for a general increase: Of Is per
cent for all classes Of men, but this the
o,,Sa
grant. The request was made in the
name Of the Interior. Freight Handlers'

Quoted separately with the different
railroads by committees Of their own

P. J. Flannery, president of the In.
ternational union, whose ,hea dquarters
are at Chicago, came to Minneapolis
to advise the local, committe emen and
IN this he was assisted by James Ke1-
ly, fifth vice-president Of the interna-
tional union, whose home is In Mime
apolis. Mr.. Flannery and Mr.. Kelly
have conducted the general work, and
it is largely dYe to their efforts that
settlement has hsen reached s

Many difficulties were encountered
from the fact that the. union -erabrnees5
both freight handlers and clerks ana
different classes of each, and these dif-
ferent classes were not clearly defined.
In the freight offices of some Of the
roads salaries Of clerks were smaller
than those paid by other roads, and /
In some cases men VINO ranked al

Of clerks. Under the new agreement
these inequalities have been removed
SO far ,as is possible at this time, ana
wages for men of the same class have
been equalized. z5s

cities they have succeeded. Cities

TAKEN Ill IN
Washington
Mother of Sheriff, Summons
Son to Her Bedside-WaS
Preparing to Get Bill For
Damages Before Congress.

In accordance with a telegram re-
ceived by him from Washington, d.
c.. yesterday morning, Deputy Sheriff
Bill White left for the east on last

that the officers mother was serious
ly i'll, and requested him to come at
once. On account of his parents adj
vanced age, White felt that the i'll
ness must be fatal, although he re-
ceived no particulars.
Coming to the territory more IMAM
thirty years ago Mr.. and Mrs. VIII
liam White with their children, took
up the home near the present site of
Fort Mcdowell. At that time Sheriff
Jack White was boy. and the others
were very young. Everything went
well for a long time, until at last a
government agent set up a claim to
the section of land on which the
home, barns and other buildings
stood. He commended that it was a
part of the military reservation and
within a short time seized it for lne
government and destroyed the build
inge
Mr.. and Mrs. White moved to
Tempe. They filed claims against
the government for damages, but fin
ally shortly before his death. the
father of the family gave up hope.
Left widow, Mrs. White again took
up the fight and for the past fifteen
years has waged it with a tenacity
OF purpose and strength that would
nave taxed the energy of many a
younger person.
Her children have pleaded with her
to rest in comfort in her old age.
all of the sons being prominent and
well able to take care of her, but in
spite of their pleadings she has kept
up the fight, being buoyed up
by the indomitable viii which helped
her to face the hardships of frontier
life in Arizona thirty years ago.
She has made her home in Wash
ington for more than a year past, and
II is thought that in preparing herself
for the renewed fight during the pre-
ent session OF congress she has ex-
hausted her strength.
Three years ago a government agent
made an examination and reported
that the property should not have
been included In the reservation. but
in spite of this fact, tae bill author.
izing the payment of $4,000 damages
has never been passed by congress.
There is no doubt that Mrs. White
will keep on fighting until she draws
her last breath, so that even IL she
does not win her children can be
proud of the fact that a grander fight
for what was considered right and Jus
tice has never been made.

served seats for THE College Pen
nant," the musical comedy which the
Elks lodge viii produce at the Or
pneum JneaIre on Inouusy vFvnIns,

of the entire cast is steadily improv-
ing and rehearsals Of the various
parts in connection with the chorus
are being carried on every evening so
that before Monday night, the organi-
zation will be working in complete
harmony.
The plot Of the play centers around
championship boat race between
Harvard and Yale colleges, which is
rowed on the Thames river. at New
London, Connecticut This is a great
event in college circles each year and
is witnessed not only by the student
bodies of each university, but by
alumni. who travel halfway across
the continent
BY strange chain Of circumstances
just few days before the race the
captain of one OF the crews is sus-
pected of a crime, of which he is in
no.. In order to avoid being thrown
in Jail, he ships as sailor, afterward
meeting with many adventures. The
girl with whom the student is in love,
as well as his father and mother, hap
pen to be aboard the same ship.
There are many situations that are
comical and others that are serious.
In the end everything works out well,
and the oarsman is home in time to
help win the pennant
All of the members of the cast have
studied their parts conscientiously,
and the chorus has been trained with
strict attention to the minutest detail,
so that there is no doubt the pro-
duction will be one of the best anna
teur shows ever seen in the territory.
The songs are all absolutely new.
and the music is Of the catchy va
riety.

PRETTY HOME WEDDING
UN|TESPOPULAR COUPLE
c. o.. Nordine and Miss HasSeI-

rage Last Night.

At pretty home wedding last night
c. o. Nordine and Miss Hasseltine
Tong were made husband and wife by
Rev. ]. Z. Fry of the Presbyterian
church, at the home of the brides
sisteT-in-law, Mrs. Tong, on Quality
Hill.
The ceremony was witnessed by
only few friends of the bride and
groom. The wedding march was play
ed by Miss Maud Tong, a niece of the
bride. The bridal couple were pre-
ceded by L. B. Sherman and Miss
Anna Tong, the latter also being a
niece of the bride. The beautiful ring
service was used by Rev. Mr.. Fry,
who was most happy in his remarks
Upon the occasion. After the ceremony
Con ratulations were rendered the
Or1ue SIi;a gFOOm anu FeITesnmeuTs
ser Ted. ii The latter was not aoe0ffiPP-
lished, however, until the groom had
made terms with a mercsless band of
young people bent on charfvariDg him
and his bride. Soon after the cere-
mony band of twenty or twenty-five
young ladies' friends of the bride, de-
scended upon the party in a body and
increased the gayety of the occasion
The bride IS one of Bisbee's most
popular young ladies. Since her ar
rival in the city about six months ago
she has been employed at one of the
general delivery windows Of the post
Office, where she has had ample oppor-
tunity to come in contact with the
public and with whom she has made
friends by her uniform kindness and
courtesy.
Mr.. Nordine came to this city from
Los Angeles to enter the employ of
Buxton-Smith, one OF the leading bust
ness houses Of Bisbee, and has more
than made good with them. He also
has made many friends by his social
bility and gentlemany qualities.
The couple will make their home on
Castle Hill, where the groom has pro
vided an attractive residence.

enormous, Col W. C. Greene, the
well known copper magnate, passed

private car Verde" on his way to
Chicago, where he will spend a few
days and will then go further east.
He is accompanied on the trip by Mr..
and Mrs. l.. d. Baldwin and his pri-
vate secretary, ]. NJ. Montague. What
the exact nature of the business is
which is taking his east, the colonel
refused to state, but said that 1t was
in connection with some of his en-
terprises.
When asked how he had found con-
ditiOns in Cananea, and Mexico gen.
orally, and what he thought Of the
financial situation, Colonel Greene
said:
1T is my opinion that we have al
ready experienced the worst Il the
furry, and that the future holds moth
ing but improvement. OF course,
when the people of the country be-
come alarmed and a crisis is reached
like that OF the present, it takes a
considerable length of time to re
store confidence and have matters e
adjust themselves. However, | be-
lieve that normal conditions VIII be
brought about in much shorter time
than has been looked for.
:. The price of copper, of course,
depends &c great extent on The fin
anttal s;sp9tioa ari with gradual i'm
proVement in the latter, l think the
metal will be quoted at a reasonable
figure again shortly. There is a sur
plus on hand, but the buyers who have
not been active up to the present will
soon have to get into the market and
that will still further improve the
price.
Il feel optimistic concerning the
situation.
"Cananea, of course, is crippled at
the present time, owing to the shut
ting down OF the big properties, but
it is a great camp and will recover
from the depression as soon as opera
tons are resumed. When this will
be l cannot say, as it is dependent
on general conditions. The interior OF
Mexico was never in a more prosper
GUS condition. The depression in this
country seems to have but little effect
up to the present time, although tae
Iuu6cEfdLlfS interests nave ledFeQ a
sympathetic movement and prepared
to meet 1t. There are a great many

Grated, and in the agricultural dis

Colonel Greene seems to be in the
best OK health in spite of the vast
