decision denying the legality OF a per-
fectly. peaceable boycott Of what has
been called the secondary" kind. A
union had declared a boycott against
certain firm for good. sufficient, and
admittedly legal reasons. When other,
firms upon request, refused to stop
dealing with the boycotted employer.
the latter in turn were quietly and
peacefully boycotted. Judge Taft not
only declared that men had no right
to institute such Secondary boycotts
that Is. to refuse to give their pa
tronage to firms dealing with their
enemies-but he indulged at some
length in reflections. and dicta which
implied that even primary boycotts,
no matter how peaceable, are illegal
when they are the result Of combi-
nation and are intended to "coerce"
the persons boycotted. The opinion
contained some glittering generalities
about the right to organize and to

STORES SHOULD CLOSE !. !.
ON SATURDAY EVENING
Rev. r. J. Mooney Mixes Some
Old Wine in New Bottles at
Y. w. 6. A.
Advocates Creating Public septi.
ment for Early Saturday )
Saturday Closing.

At an enthusiastic ministerial meet
ing held under the auspices of the Y
w. c. A., last week, which was at
tended by the leading clergymen Of
the Evangelical churches Of Duluth,
Rev. Roderick J. Mooney in one Of
his characteristic speeches, deprecated
the employment Of young women in
our retail establishments until 10
o'clock on Saturday evenings.
His speech met with the approval
Of the assemblage. and it was resolved
to inaugurate a campaign for the clos
ing of stores at an earlier hour on
the last day Of the week.
Mr.. Mooney hit at something funda-
mental In his remarks. He didn't
blame the proprietors of stores. He
had pity for the over-worked clerks,
but he believed the solution Of the
problem laid with the buying public.
And Mr.. Mooney is right. The peo-
pie are loud In their denunciation Of
evil, and yet 1t is within their power
to eradicate every semblance of In
justice.
The good clergyman told Of young
man going into department store at
the closing hour OF one Saturday eve-
ming, and after making his purchases
he inquired Of the clerk If she ever
went to church on Sunday morning.
Replying In the negative she escer-
tanned that her customer was a Sab
bath school superintendent, and she
quickly Informed him that If he and
his like would do their purchasing by
daylight, store girls might have an
opportunity to go to places Of worship
on Sunday morning.
A good healthy public sentiment in
favor of daylight purchasing ought to
be created in Duluth. Merchants. 1t
strikes US, would be as desirous OF
closing early on Saturdays as on any
other day, and they. only keep their
stores open to accommodate their pa
irons. The clerks are the real victims
Of long hours and the people are re-
sponsible.
The Labor World. as champion of
labor, believes 1t to be the imperative
duty of organized labor to Join with
the religious societies. If they are in
clined to enter the campaign, and aid
In the creating Of sentiment among
all people against making purchases
after dark.
Union werkingmen and women who
labor but eight hours each day, and
who In many cases get half day of
on Saturday ought to lose no time In
coming to the relief 'of the over
worked shop girl. Do not purcha Sc
anything on Saturday evenings. Tell
your friends not to do SO. Talk about
it. Write about It. and let everyone
know how you feel about It, This is
the only way to reach public opinion
and create the right kind Of g. senti-
ment.

COLUMBUS UNIONS TO
BATTLE. IN POLITICS
Resent Treatment Accorded to
Organized Labor by Old Po-
litical Parties.
Laying Wires for the Nomination
Of q Full Ticket Of Union
Wage Farmers.
(Mail Correspondence.)

COLUMBUS, Oct. 1.-Union labor
win have a complete municipal ticket
in the field this fall as the result Of
the turn-down in the Republican pri-
maries of candidates indorsed by the
labor movement. A fight will be made
to capture every office in the city for
a union man. The proposition was
made at the regular meeting in Buck
eye hall Of the workingmen's Protec-
tive league, and was received with
enthusiasm.
The meeting. started with a post
mortem over the Republican primaries.
It was generally felt that Councilman
Thomas H. Humphreys had really been
nominated for the board of public
service, but counted out Of victory by
the machine. There was feeling that
the labor unions could expect little
from the Republicans under the pres
ent regime. The Democrats did not
take kindly to the labor candidates,
ana the independent movement was
inaugurated.
Probable Leaders.
George Harper candidate for coun-
cilman-at-large, the only union labor
ite to land a Republican nomination,
and William Hauck. on the Democratic
slate for member OF the board Of pub
lie service, will be .on the independent
labor ticket. Much time was taken
in explaining the repeal of the Dana
law, and that Harper and Hauck
would be credited with their total vote
wherever their names appear on the
ballot for the same office. =.
Before the Republican primaries the
unionists had two other candidates.
George w. Bope for police Judge, and
Councilman Humphreys for member sof
the board Of public service. Bope will
be on the Independent ticket for police

COUNCIL TAKES STAND

is Unjust. i.
Expresses Hope That Both Sides
in Serious Contest Shall
Come Together.

Alderman Joseph Shartel introduced
a set Of resolutions In the city council
last Monday evening which were
passed without a dissenting vote. They
bore on the long drawn strike OF the
telegraph companies, and were in line
with resolutions adopted by other city
councils
The resolutions were forwarded to
President Roosevelt, Commissioner
Charles p. Mel and the officials Of the
companies involved. The resolutions
said in part:
"Whereas. though the demands of
these striking telegraphers seem rea-
sonable. the Western Union company.
the Postal Telegraph company, (oper-
ated by the Mackay companies), and
the Associated Press, declare they will
not treat in any way. shape or manner
with their striking employees, but ex-
press q determination to starve them
into submission. and whereas, the city
of Duluth, with its great financial
commercial and general business in
terests, more than most other cities.
needs absolutely the very best tele-
graph facilities, and, whereas, the f.
nancial and commercial and general
business interests Of Duluth have for
seven weeks or more been subjected to
great loss and annoyance in conse-
quence Of this partly telegraph and
partly mail method Of handling their
most important and urgent commune
cations: therefore, be it ,
Resolved, that the city council Of
Duluth deprecates the policy of these
great companies in condemning their
striking employees to starvation or sub
mission. and the financial and CONNER
cial and general business interests Of
the city OF Duluth to indefinite loss,
vexation and annoyance, and the said
city council Of the city Of Duluth,
hereby declare It to, be the duty Of
these three great employers to meet
representatives of. their striking en-
ployes and to do all that may be raa-
sonably expected in order to adjust 9tte
differences to the end that normal
telegraph service may be restored"

! Fund,
One Days Pay q Year for Three
Years to be Paid in and to

: MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, Oct. s.-Thos.
Van Lear, delegate to the convention
of the International Association Of
Machinists held in St. Louis, has re-
turned. He visited his local last eve-
ming and made a partial report Of the
convention doings. Mr.. Van Lear was
chosen chairman of the conventions
shorter workday committee, one of the
most important at this time. This
committee, which has been made per-
manent, will begin the collection of
data concerning, conditions where the
Machiniats' association has locals, and
Will endeaxor. to have statistics bear
ing on ali phases Of the shorter work
day ready for presentation to the next
convention. The nine hour day Is the
aim of the organization.
~ Mr.. Van Lear was chosen to repre-
sent the international as a delegate to
the 1908 convention Of the American
Federation of Labor. He may go to
Norfolk, Va, to atten nd this years con-
vention in the interests Of his union,
but this is not yet settled.
One Of the most important things
done by the St.: Louis convention was
the passage of measure providing
for an assessment Of one days pay
each year on members for period Of
three years, which assessment is to
be used as a nucleus Of q special "war
fund.- to be used for the purpose Of
assisting the membership In case Of
strikes or .lockouts. 1t is the 1nten-
tion Of the promoters to have the fund
reach gigantic proportions, and when
it is thaught that something like $22,-
100000 will be in the war chest.
Union ~Is Growing.
Mr.. Van Lear reports the growth of
the International association to have
been phenomenal in the last year, and
while complete figures are not avail
able, he cites the growth Of the organ
ization in Massachusetts,, where more
than $4,000 were added to the rolls.
Benefits to those n strike at the
present time were increased firm 81
for single men. To these figures local
unions generally add few dollars.
Several OF the railway strikes re-
ceived some attention, and $4,000 was
voted to aid the men out on the Erie
system; in addition to $500 which was
raisedaarsong, the delegates before the
convention took action. 1'-T: <, .zei 81
Since his return. Mr.. Van Lear has
been occupied with duties in connec-
tion with the strike situation in the
twin cities. He reports conditions
more favorable from union stand
point. Few are now out of work, calls
for men becoming more frequent. and
the chances good for every, striker
being steadily employed before the
snow flies.

.STELzLE GIVES WORD
!. Of CHEER TO BOOSTERS
Some Are Thick Skinned Care
= Little of What is Said
Against Them,
Others Are Finer Bred-Preach-
er's Hot Shot at CoWardly
Gossipers.

Rev. Charles Stelzle Of the Presby-
terian church workingmens depart
ment usually has something good to
say to workingmen, but we believe his
most timely sermon is given In the fol-
lowing, under the caption Of "Thes
Cheerful Booster" .>
Some men have. skins as tough as
that Of the rhinocerus. They are abso-
lutely Indifferent to whatever may be
thought or said about them. But most
of us are finer bread. We do care.
And it is right that we should.
mot that we are swayed from the
course which we know to be right
because of the adverse opinions Of our
fellows, but it seems more human to
please than not to please. Because
this is true-and most men are Of this
opinion-it Is passing strange that sos
few of us regard it in our dealingn
with others.
: Perhaps the most trying experience
in many a workingman's life is the
consciousness that a bunch Of his fell
low workers are ridiculing him. There:
may be some little popularity about
him, to which he has become accus-
tomed-something that he eats at
lunch hour, something that he wears,
the way that he goes about doing
a particular job-anyone of q dozen
things, which bring upon him the
ridicule which makes his sensitive soul
shrivel. And for the remainder Of the
day he Is unhappy.
"One of the most heartless bits Of
brutality that you and encounter Is
when two or three chaps get together,
and, with amused glances, riddle with
their looks another fellow who is un-s
conscious of the nature Of the criti-
cism which they are making of him.:
It would be easier to bear and more
honorable to defend, If they should all
set upon him with fists or clubs. But
the cowardly gossiper In the shop.
wouldn't dare face the man whom he
is holding up to ridicule.
Zone Of the finest evidences of cul-s
ture and good breeding is the passing
over or ignoring of another's mistakes
or failings: Dining with a company Of
people who were supposed to know all
the rules of etiquette, was young
fellow who hadn't had, their advant-
ages. The soup was extremely hot.
Taking a lump OF ice which was Inc:
tended fer the purpose OF keeping the
butter hard and cold, he placed 1t into
his soup, amid. the smiles OF the rest
Of the company. Seeing the embar-.
rassment> Of the youngster, without q
smile, and speaking about another
matter to the entire company, the host
oil S.4fva ~ a.
and used 1t as the young fellow had
done. That was tact and culture and
mighty good sense.
Lets develop more Of it In the shop.
It will make life very much brighter
to the man whose burdens, If we were
carrying them, might drive us to de-
spair. Let's be boosters instead Of
knockers. It pays all around"

COLORADO SPRINGS, COL; Oct. g.
A Colorado Springs woman has offered
100000 for the establishment Of an
endowment fund for the erection and
maintenance Of cottages In which to
house the families of inmates of the
Union Printers home in this city. The
board Of trustees Of the home, passed
the necessary amendment to the char
ter OF the home to permit the estab-
lishment of the fund.
Another important action taken by
the trustees was the erection. Of a
tuberculosis sanitarium. The present
hospital annex will be used for this
purpose and the most advanced meth
DDS known to science for the treat
The offer Of the 800, 900 from the
woman, whose name is withheld, was
made about one year ago, but could
not be accepted because Of the charter
as 1t then stood. The last legislature
passed law permitting interpretations
to change their charters.
It's expected that citizens from all
over the country will contribute to
the fund and that within few years
amount will have grown sufficiently
to accommodate all occupants Of the
hospital. Heretofore there has been
a great deal Of hardship among the
families Of the printers because Of
enforced separation. The new fund
will permit the relatives to live near
them in cottages and tents. $'"
There are about so patients in the
hospital annex and nearly 100 ii the
