declared unconstitutional. The Prcsby-

themselves very strongly in favor of the

unanimously passed the following rcso-

Hero Worshippers.

The biggest fight which ever has been
waged between organized labor and capi-
tai on the Great Lakes will be fought in
to 1910. Plans for the campaign to be
followed by the unions were started
some weeks ago. Leaders have been
working upon them in secret. They are
now perfecting an organization that will
be many times stronger than the old ones.
There are $4,000 wage earners on the
lakes. Heretofore the various workmen
have had their own unions. These have
been fought singly by the Lake Carriers ;
Association, and one after another have
been defeated. Next season all the lake
