DOCK WORKERS union
GETS WAGE INCREASE
Railroad Officials Stick to Their
Agreement Made During the
Strike.
Satisfactory Wage Scale is Agreed
Upon and Industrial Peace
Is Assured.
Labor World.

The officials Of the Duluth, Missabi
and Northern railway announced
Wednesday that an advance in wages
would be granted the employees on the
ore docks on November LIST.
On Sunday last the ore dock work.
er's union appointed a committee of
three members to seek an audience
with the officials for the purpose OF
agreeing upon scale of wages. and en-
tering into an agreement relative to
other conditions and providing for a
meeting in March 1908 to agree upon
a scale for the next season.
The demand of the union was for
a straight wage scale of $3.50 for day
work, and $2.75 for night work. They
also asked for time and one half for
night and Sunday work.
The railroad company agreed to the
increase asked for by the union for
regular work, and compromise Of
80 cents an hour was affected for over
time and Sunday work will be paid
for at the rate of IS cents an hour for
day work, and 81 IL cents an hour
for night work.
It is expected that the action of tine
Missabi road will be followed by the
ore docks at Two Harbors and AL
louez.
All of the docks are unusually active
at this period Of the year, and men
are scarce. 1t is hoped that a good
feeling will continue to exist between
the officials of the ore carrying roads
and the ore dock employees.

more to a general impression of what

very clear illustration of the truth
OF my statement the other day in In

In the vaults of a bank at Roches-
ter, Ind, there had lain for a number
or years package of five-dollar ma
tional bank notes just at it had come
from the treasury department. These
bills all bore the name of the bank
and were of the first issue of national
bank notes. 1t will be remembered
that the issue of 1855 showed a fine
engraving OLA historical character on
the reverse of each denomination, the
hve-dollar bills bearing on the back a
representation of the landing Of COL

lishman presen ting an Indian maiden
to three women, emblematic of Europe,

"A good many of these new bills
were paid out, and not long after tele-
grams, letters and even personal calls
began to pour in to the bank warning
the officials to be on their guard-that
q most clever and absolutely undetect-
able counterfeit of their, notes was out
and the only way the fact: had been
discovered was owing to the difference
between this and the present designs
Of national bank notes. The incident
went to show how little the average
business man is acquainted with paper
money: for If there was one note that
a counterfeiter could not duplicate

The cashier of the bank, however,
curious to see for himself whether
bank employees really were suspicious
Of the notes, took a trip to Chicago and
made several attempts to pass the un-$
familiar bills across the counters OF
some OF the banks, but without sue
cess, the notes being refused In every
case. 81 gts u as s ~. 81

Max Clemens Files for Fifth Ward
Alderman.
The people Of Duluth Heights were
greatly surprised yesterday morning
to learn that Max Clemens had filed
Tor the Democratic nominal ton for al
derman Tor the Fifth ward against
Jonn hogan, who was endorsed by a
mass meeting of citizens last Tuesday
evening. y "
Inc people We're surprised because
when the vote was taken to make Mr..
Hogan's nomination unanimous. Mr..
Clemens arose to his feet with every
other person in the room. 1t is Mr..
Clemens privilege to run for alder
man. as it is the privilege of every
citizen. and the suburb is indeed for
tunate In having two candidates for
the same office.
me principle object of the Labor
World Is to work for Duluth Heights
candidate We don't care a farthing
what he believes In. national politics.
What we want is a good clean man,
who stands for the highest ideals in
city government.
That the majority of the people be.
ileved that Mr. Hogan represents this
type Of citizenship: was evidenced by
the handsome endorsement given him
last Tuesdax> evening. The. meeting
was free from the domination Of any
clique and every person present exer-
cised his Judgment: uninduenced by
any one. 1t was one of the fairest
meetings ever held on the Heights.
That there. should be division. after
so harmonious gathering, even in a
small way, is much to be regretted.

WAR Of REPUBLICS
IS IMMINENT.

WASHINGTON, Feb. S.-Carrying out
the wishes of the State Department
that couple of American naval ves-
sells be kept in Central American
waters. the Navy Department has dis
patched the gunboat Marietta to Grey
town, on the gulf coast of Nicara qua
to join the cruiser Chicago. The York
town, now at Mare Island, is not to go
to Central America.
1t is stated that the purpose of send
ing these warships to Central America
is to have them at the disposal of the
American ministers if they should find
IT necessary tok travel up and down the
coast in these countries. where COM
nlunication by regular channels is lin
tied. Also they will, of course, protect
any American property that may be
endangered.
Consul William A. Alger, at Teguci-
galpa, Honduras, informed American
Minister Combs in Guatemala City yes
terday that the opinion at Tegucigalpa
was that war between Honduras and
Nicaragua was almost inevitable. The
officials here, however, do not take any
such pessimistic view and believe that
the combined efforts of Mexico and
America will convince the republics
that their differences can be settled
without recourse to arms.

hostiiities. The Washington Govern
ment regards itself as bound under the
treaty of San Jose and the Marblehead
pact to tender good offices to prevent
war between the Central American re-
publics, and as the republic of Mexico
is under similar obligations the two
are trying to arrange a programme
whereby Mexico would represent the
wishes of the United States as well as
as those of her own people
Attention is called to the fact that
Nicaragua was not party to the San
Jose treaty. taking the ground that the
settlement Of disputes between the Cen
tral American republics by reference
to arbitration was sufficiently pro-
vided for in the treaty of Corinto, con-
cluded several years before This fact
however. does not, in the opinion of
the officials here, relieve Honduras and
Salvador from responsibility to abide
by the provisions of the San Jose
treaty.
