LABOR SERMONS BY
REV. CHARLES sTELzLE
Fourth of a Series of Short Ser
mons on Questinos Of Interest
to Labor,
Labors Memorial Sunday Recog-
nizes Our Debt to Men And
Women in the Past.

To recognize service which was
rendered the labor movement by men
and women in the past is a most COM
mendable thing. Rarely-do we say
"Thank you" At any rate, we do not
say 1t often enough, nor always to the
folks who deserve it most.
Most desirable, then, is the resolu-
tion passed by the last convention of
the American Federation of Labor,
that the second Sunday in May ba
hereafter observed as "Labor's Memo
rial Sunday"
Now let's work it up. Make the day
really worth while. It will put
strength into the arms of those who
are bearing the burdens of labor to-
day. 1t will quicken the blood of
those who are often downcast because
Of the apparent Indifference Of tho
men and women for whom they are
patiently toiling, in one Of the most
difficult tasks Of the times. Heavier
and more heavy ara these tasks be-.
coming.
May I suggest that the Central
Bodies and the Local Unions in everv
city seek to enlist the sympathy and
the service of the ministers in their
respective towns? shall suggest to
the pastors of 1900 Presbyterian
churches throughout the United States
that they observe the second Sunday
IN May as Labor Sunday" Let's get
together on the job, and make it Of
such Importance that everywhere IT
Will be known that labor is having its
day, and once again desires the world
to know that this great movement of
the common people is making progress
IN matters which must commend them
selves to the people as whole. I

Instead Of doing something do
somebody" Any man who has given
any attention to the methods pursued
by certain of the real estate schemers
OF Duluth, will recognize at once the
appropriateness of the above motto as
applied to the motives by which their
actions are governed.
Within the last few months, as if to
divert attention from their own un-
scrupulous and extortionate methods,
they have aided and abetted in inaug-
urating an unrighteous warfare upon
organized labor, and have steadily
maintained it with relentlessness
Veriest barbarism.
Organized labor conscious Of the in
tegrity of its intentions and work, Of
fered- to confer with its employers, AMI
meet them even more than half ways
in effecting an honorable adjustment
of any and all substantial grievances.

4 WASHINGTON BUILDER TIRES
OF NON-UNIONISTS

Arthur Cewsill, a contractor ana
builder, who has been affiliated with
the Employers association and con-
Quoting the open shop in his works
about four weeks, at noon Thursday
summoned his non union workmen
into his office, paid them off and dis
missed them from his service At tho
same time he notified the officers Of
the Building Trades Grievance COM
mittee that he would reinstate all his.
former union mechanics. About "a
men were dismissed by Mr.. Cowsill,
but it is said he will have employ.
ment for about 100 members Of the
several building trades on work he is;

Mr., Cowsill would make on his action
was that he had tried both the open

The Productive Class.
This class is freest from fraud, cum
ming and every element of spoilation.
This class embraces all who get liv-
ing by actually producing the commo-
dities Of life Or their equivalent, or by
rendering adequate service in exchange
for them. 1t embraces all who are
with mind brain or muscle. honestly
engaged in the process of creating uti-
l1t1es, and ministering in any manner,
to the requirements of our complex
civilization. This class embraces alv
good and true men in every sphere If
activity and usefulness, just as truly
as 1t does those who "earn their bread
by the sweat of their brow" It is
much to be regretted, that all of Du-
luth's real estate men cannot. in truth,
be Included in this class, but that some
of them must be relegated to the pre-
datory class, for they delight to prey
upon their fellows; and thinking that
organized labor stood, in the way Of
their explorations, they are bent on
d1srupttng it. The same instinct and
perception, however, that led society
to outlaw the thief and the robber.
will eventually effect the downfall of
all those union snashers, and organ-
lied labor will emerge from the perse-

new YORK REFORM CLUB
OPPOSES THE TARIFF
Considers High Protection a Men,

Operates to Give Monopoly Privi-
leges to Certain Favored

The Reform Club of New York city
declares the tariff to be "a method of
decreasing the purchasing power OF
wages and OF abstracting from labor
considerable portion of such wages as
1t receives" The committee further
say that:

gree of public immortality known-the

to give it to others.

STRIKE BREAKER IS
NOT H|GHLY ESTEEMED
What a. Celebrated Editor Has to
Say About the Notorious
Farley.

Arthur Brisbane, editor of, the New
York Evening Journal, and one of the
most forceful writer's in the world to-
day, evidently has not a very high re-
gard for James Farley and his work
in endeavoring to break strikes in
which workingmen are stalking their
all to win fair conditions. Of the con-
temptible Farley, Mr.. Brisbane says:
Times are hard-but apparently not
hard for the professional strike-break-
er. Mr.. James Farley has just paid
10000 for four trotting horses, to be
driven for pleasure. Farley is the pro-
fessional strike-breaker who helped
August Belmont break up all the labor
unions on the New York street railway
system, and who has helped many
others to break up othr unions or de,
feat men in their effort to get good
wages.
Recent publications about mortga-
ges and so on indicate that Mr.. Bel
mont has not been particularly lucky
since he went into the strike-breaking
business on the one hand, and his
Civic Federation performance on the
other.
Farley is doing better than Bel
mont, apparently. He is fond Of race
horses, as Belmont is fond of prop
erty. But Farley has not been trans
ferring his race horses to the Roth
schilds. On the contrary, he is buying
more and keeping them.
I'VE do not feel sure, however, that
Farley will get any great happiness
out of these fast horses. We are in
clined to think that ultimately he will
realize that the business Of fighting
hard working men and their families
doesn't bring happiness. There is such
thing as justice here on earth, as
we'll as justice hereafter. We expect
soonr or later to publish in this news
paper some news. with brief comment,
demonstrating the fact that the pro-
fessional strike breaker, like others
who live by opposing the happiness Of
their fellowmen, is not destined to q
really happy life or a happy end.
Mr.. Farley's $4,000 horses may trot
fast, but they can't trot away from
his conscience Or his memory. He
knows where the women are-poor be-
cause he defeated their husbands.
He knows what children his 'suc-
cess has taken out OF schools and put
in the factory, Trotting horses won't
make him forget those things

Three methods OF obtaining a living
in this world are usually recognized:
the parasitic, the predatory, and the
productive. These methods will enl-
brace all except those who get a living
by downright theftsor robbery. Before
assigning the Duluth real estate fakir
to his proper classEit may be neces-
sary to define the three classes named.
The ParaSitic Class.
A logical enrolment under this
classification makes strange bedfel-
lows. The worthless pauper and the
idle rich, represe1ts the two extremes
of the social and economic parasite.
Both get their living from society, ap-
propriating by virtue of CUSTOM law,
or some other relationship, the pro-
ducts of the labor 81 others, but with
cut resort to theft or violence. We
will not put Duluth rent rackers in
this class, because 1--WE think their
proper place is in the next.
The Predatory Class.
To this class belong all who get a
living by fraud. force or cunning
exerted within the pale of law It If
the class to which belong the CRATER,
the explotter, and even the business
