A Thrilling Rescue of an Impaled

a look at her. Captain Oertel was
telling me just now that when he was
nearing Jamaica on his outward trip
he saw g. three masted schooner-a1l
sail set and a gale blowing, but the
schooner stood stock still as If she
were fast on a shoal.
The captain was on deck and was

said that q sawfish had rammed the

NOTICE TO MEMBERS
OF ORGANIZED LABOR
Duluth. Mimi. Nav 90 19(

Duluth, Mimi, May 20, 1907.
TO the members of Organized Labor,
Duluth, MINI.
Dear Sirs and Brothers.
This is to inform you that the bar
Der shop operated by James Sullivan
at 215 West Superior street, is on the
unfair list of the Journeymen Bar
ber's Union No. 81. The action of
| our union has been endorsed by the
Federated Trades assembly of this
city. We would respectfully ask the
members Of the other unions and their
friends to avoid patronizing this UN-
FAIR shop until such time as he
agrees to the rules of the Journeymen
BARRIERS union.
We have learned that some union
men do not quite understand our po-
| sition in this contest. It Is our pur-
pose to make 1t plain to you. BARRIERS
work on percentage, with minimum
wage guarantee. On every dollar we
| take In, the journeymen receives so
per cent, with guarantee Of 1890
for weeks work, and the boss re.
ceives 40 per cent. He furnishes the
building, chairs, towels, antisceptics,
hot and cold water, etc. There is alb
solutely no material upon which he
can make any money. Your employ
ers~ try to make their profits more
upon the material they use rather than
upon your days labor. We must help
to sustain the prices of the boss. Long
experience has taught us that If we do
not do this our wage scale will be
low. Our International Constitution
demands we set prices Of the work.
THEREFORE, we ask you to help
US sustain our. wages. Keep away
from Sullivan's shop. If we should
report any of your members for pat
ronizing this UNFAIR establishment.
we would ask you to deal with them
accordingly, and should you. ever have
a grievance we promise you in return
our hearty cooperation.
There is no excuse for any union
man to patronize the only UNFAIR
shop in town.
Yours fraternal1y,
JOURNEYMEN BARBER'S UNION

more than $500 per year to their
unions, they may expect it to be a
cheap and shoddy affair.
A trades-union is not rattle where
you put up 10 cents and expect to get
a gold watch. It is a business organ
ization that gives back value for all
that you put in.
Everything worth while takes time
and money. You cannot educate the
masses by saying "Hurrah boys" To
unionize the working people is, as Car
lyle said, "the greatest task in the
world"

HAMMERS.
From the Travel Magazine:

from the IrdVel magazine:
Hammers are. represented on the
monuments Of Egypt 20 centuries be-
fore our era. They greatly resembled
the hammer now in use, save that
there were no claws on tho back for
the extraction Of nails. The first ham
mer was undoubtedly q stone held In
the hand. Claw hammers were in
vented some time during tho middle
ages. Illuminated manuscripts Of the
eleventh century represent carpenters
with claw hammers. Hammers are Of
all sizes, from the dainty instruments
used by the jeweler. which weigh less
than half an ounce. to the gigantic 60
ton hammer OF shipbuilding establish
ments, some Of which weigh al much
as 80 tons ana have falling foroe Of
from 30 to 100. Every trade has Its
own hammer ana its own way OF using
1t.

UNION LABOR TENDS
TO LESSEN STRIKES
Will Labor Ever Learn to Or.
ganize Before It Attempts
To Strike?
Most Of the Big Strikes of Recent
Times Have Been From
Unorganized.

Will labor ever learn to organize
and strike afterWard, instead of strik-
ing first and organizing afterwards?
A mob Of men with union cards, on
which the ink is still wet, is no more
Union than pile of bricks is a
house.
Good union men can't be made
while you watt Military men say
that it takes three years to make a
soldier.
When Oliver Cromwell set out to
lick King Charles, he took a body of
men and drilled them until no army
on earth could defeat them. Then he
went on strike against King Charles,
and the King lost the strike and his
head to boot.
When Mad Anthony" Wayne set
out to whip the Indians in Western
pennsylvania, he took body of men
out into the forest and kept them there
for six months. When he had them
rougher than hemlock and keener than
wild cats, he led them against the
Indians and swept them off the map.
Fists Don't Win Strikes.
lie day has gone by when a strike
can be won by a crowd and a half
dozen fists in the air. Numbers won't
help you win strike any more than
putting on half dozen pairs of breech-
es will help you win a foot race.
What can you expect of a union
that can't get over twenty members to
business meeting?
what can you expect Of union
when it is like pulling teeth to collect
dues?
What can you expect of union
when five or six members who under
stand unionism don't care enough
about 1t to explain it to the others,
and when the others don't care enough
about 1t to listen?
What can you expect Of a union
when the rank and file sit in the wag-
on and expect the officers to pull them
up the hill Of prosperity?
Unionism is a big subject. We have
been studying it for about twenty
years and we don't know it all yet.
But one fact we are sure of is this:
the cure for weak unionism is strong
unionism
VIoSStCdIIy Al OnOrGanIZoo,
In every case during the past year
in Chicago and Colorado especially, the
men who went on strike were practic-
ally unorganized men. They were
Italians, Huns and Poles, who knew
little of nothing of unionism until af-
ter their strike began.
The wages of the meat packers and
OF the Colorado miners were forced
down to point of chattel slavery. The
trades-unions organizers sprang to
help them.
1t was non-unionism that brought
the Chicago and Colorado workers
down to less than seven dollars per
week. Don't forget that; and it was
unionism that tried to pull them up.
Don't forget that!
If the crude mass Of unframed lab
orers, weighted down by rascally DO
liticians and horde Of scabs can not
be lifted up to the level of unionism,
do not blame the heroic few who tried
to do the job.
A strike should always be the last
resort. 1t is as necessary to have in
reserve as a revolver in the Philip
pines; but 1t is always a gun that
shoots at both ends.
Preparing For Trouble.
II body of wage workers is being
unfairly treated, it should begin to pre-
pare for strike. 1t should close up
its ranks and begin to hold education
al meetings. 1t should raise dues and

Peru is an immense country and
in one section of it, known as the
Tambo valley, the principal produc-
ton is aguardiente, which is made
from the juice of sugar and contains
twenty per cent. alcohol. Consul
General s. M. Taylor says that this
liquor is consumed largely by the Pc
ruvian Indians and so many of them
die from the effects of it that the
population is materially decreasing.
The valley is located so high chat only
the natives enjoy good health there,
hence it would be difficult to find en-
igrants to replace the natives, as
would seem necessary at an early
date. In the valley there is one good
plant for making cane sugar and
aguardiente, but all the rest are quite
primitive in their construction.
More or less rice is produced in
the same valley, and it is said that
the grain is large and sweet in favor
and when bolted it augments much
more than any other kind 1t always
commands a higher price than any
other rice. 1t is stated incidentally
that there is only one good rice mil
in the valley of Tambo, and that il
from the United States. The Others
are primitive wooden stamp mills
