PRESENT INDUSTRIAL TROUBLE.

Strikes are the Spectacular features
Of industrial life, and when the inten-
sity of our economic struggle is con-
sidered the wonder is that they. are so
rare.
Without in any degree overlooking
the evils to both sides attendant upon
strikes, it must be remembered that
the right Of the employee to insist upon
getting justice, and Of his refusing to
work upon terms that are unfair is
as much the safety valve Of American
industrial conditions as the ballot is of
our political institutions.
Heretofore in Duluth, labor contro-
versies, and strained relations between
employers and their workmen, were in
the great majority of cases settled
peaceably, and without reaching a
stage sufficiently critical to attract any
notice from the general public.
This happy condition was mainly
due to the thorough organization
which obtained in the trades union
movement, and the fact thai the CEN
trail bodies stood for Cancellation and
sacrifice rather than have recourse to
drastic measures to secure rights that
clearly enough belonged to them.
1t is but fair to say too, that the
most enlightened and public spirited
among the employers of labor, cooper
ated with the union authorities in
maintaining industrial peace, upon a
basis measurably just to al! interests
concerned. Whatever Of trouble was
experienced on this line, was with
some Individual member of concern
whose stupidity and greed gave much
perplexity to his associates.
But the present controversy is not
strike, but an attempted lockout in
which a few employers are manoeuv-
ering to influence other and more fair>
minded men, to declare for a general
Industrial war in Duluth, and thus
blight the good name and fame of our
city everywhere.
We have too much confidence in the
good sense and judgment of the ma
jority of Duluth employers Of labor, to
believe they can be hoodwinked into
giving support to such plot, even if
it is engineered by a representative of
Minneapolis or Chicago trouble breed.
ers.
Duluth employers and their en-
ployes have had no more Earrings in
the past, than are incident to all
human relations, and we sincerely hope
that sensible men shall not suffer
themselves to be now driven to wrong
courses by pretentious hot-heads in
the Builders Exchange.

THE GOLDEN RULE,

Trade unionists lead the world in it's
application, of the Golden Rule, to the
life and conduct of it's membership. It
insists that the Golden Rule should
be applied to all questions between
capital and labor, for just as soon as
the capitalists are willing to guide
most of the differences between labor
and capital will have completely van
ished. When the capitalist is prepared
to treat the worker as he would him.
self be treated, the questions that now
cause trouble and controversy, such as
women selling their honor for bread,
little children and young girls exploit
ed in unhealthy factories, men and
women working for a wage that
scarcely keeps body and soul together,
and the hundred and one other injus-
tees that the workers are forced to
labor under will no longer be contended
for
Under the application of the Golden
Rule the welfare of the multitude and
not the interest Of the few will pre-
dominate. No capitalist would desire
his own child to slave in an unhealthy
workshop. No capitalist would like his
sister to work for such a scanty wage
that perforce she would be compelled
to barter her virtue on the street. No
capitalist himself would desire to work
long and excessive hours of labor for
a salary that was insufficient to keep
himself would like to be forced to
work in an establishment tnat was a
menace to his health and an invitation
to disease.
No capitalist himself would desire to
risk his life and limb among defective
and dangerous machinery that could
be made safe. The application Of the
, Golden Rule would Danish such condi-
tions as these, and in doing so would

It is absurd for any individual, or

they have a right to run their own

There is no busienss that can be con.

Bel Air has decided to resume the
Mems Meetings. that were held on
Sunday afternoons at that place to such
good effect last winter. Mr.. John b.
Hanna editor oi the Bel Air Times,
and Chairman OF the Republican State
Central Committee, has been elected
chairman OF the general committee,
having the project in charge, with
Charles II. McComaS as secretary and
Harry S. Carver, treasurer The meet
ings will begin on Sunday afternoon,
January 27, to continue for at least five
consecutive Sundays, and prominent
out-oi-town speakers will be secured
for each Sunday.
Meetings OF this character have been
held in Havrc de Grace during the
past two years, and have been very
successful and productive OF splendid
results Elkton should join in the
movement and citizens interested
in such good work should get together
with the view to bringing the matter to
fruition.
