are Anarchial.
The public affairs committee Of our
suburb are. discussing ways and
means for making the year 1908. II
possible, one Of greater material pros
perity than it's predecessor.
While we are all thankful for what
has been accomplished in the past, we
hope to achieve even greater things for
the future.
We are just little apprehensive
that the "open- shop" agitation inaugu-
rated by the enemies of labor in the
ity and good times in Duluth, as it has
everywhere. else where the people were
so unwise as listen to the disturbing
element.
No man or class Of men has any
just claims upon the attention of a.
thoughtful people, who manifest such
spirit of hostility to honest labor as
does the so-called National Associ-
alton Of Manufacturers
No useful purpose is ever served by
arraying one class against another.
This is doubly true in country like
ours, where we are all proud of being
citizens under the Stars and Stropes.
In the last analysis the wage-earn-
ing classes Of our country are Its flesh
and blood-the bone and sinew of its
government-its upholders in peace
and defenders in war. They get the
loo CT nd t,~ih
to it, and too, are the least protected
by the very laws which more than any
other class they do the most to MAIN
tain.
All they ask is a fair measure of
justice, but this it seems the Manufac-
turers' Association are bent on denying
them. We don't believe 1t possible
that purpose so anarchial in motive
and method as the present war upon
labor can possibly succeed.
