A GOOD SELECTION
FOR FIRE CHIEF
Joseph Randall Promoted to
Head Of Department By the
Commissioners.
Appointment Is Most Satisfac
tory to All Citizens of
Duluth.

Joseph Randall was made chief Of
the city fire department by the board
of fire commissioners at their last
meeting to succeed the late John T.
Black. MIR. Randall has been acting
fire chief since the death Of Mr.. Black
and his promotion to the head Of the
department was expected
Fred E. Granzow was promoted from
second assistant chief to first assistant
and G. w. Wilson, captain of chemical
engine No. /, was promoted to second
assistant chief.
Until the death Of the late Chief
Black MIR. Randall was first assistant
chief. He served in this capacity for
many years and he is credited with
having thoroughly earned his promo
tion
The board Of commissioners went on
ing the ordinance relative to the use of
dynamite by building contractors with
in the city limits. Complaints have
come to the department from many
sources that contractors have been
flasrantly lax recently in the use Of
this dangerous explosive, and investt-
cation has disclosed the fact that many
OF them have been using dynamite
without taking ou tthe permit required

building inspector. $:s .--t

M'EWEN'S ACTIVITY ON
BEHALF WOMEN WORKERS
Has Incurred the Antagonism Of q
Certain Glass of Twin City
Manufacturers.

The following editorial taken from
Wednesday mornings News Tribune
is 50 true and convincing in theme
and treatment that the associate edi-
tor Of this paper has taken the liberty
to reproduce it without permission
either from MIR. McDwen or Editor
Mitchell. For his presumption in SO
doing he may have to apologize to
both gentlemen, but he feels very sure
the readers Of this paper will vindi-
ticle.
"Proteeting Women Workers."
Some of the Twin City manufac-
turers who use a large amount OF fe-
male labor, do not take kindly to the
warning issued by State Labor Com
missioner McEwen to young women
coming to Minnesota cities. They
call It warning them away from the
state, which it is not.
"Mr. McEwen's bulletin, which has
been posted in railway stations, reads
as follows:
"'Do not go to the large cities for
work unless you are compelled to.
"If you must go, write at least two

"Do not ask questions from

"'Ask a uniformed railway onicia

"The fact remains that no youn,

STRIKE ORDER OBSERVED
EVEN TO THE LAST MILL
Three Thousand Tin Workers
Will Cooperate With Strikers
in Rolling Mills:

PuTrSBURG, July 8.-Wdth the
strike order being observed even to
the last mill, offtctals of the Amalga-
mated Association Of Steel Iron and
Tin, Workers declared that they were
satisfied with the situation and point
ed out that the claims Of the Steel
trust officials relative to any dissatis-
faction in the ranks Of the strikers
were not well founded.
In reply to the statement made by
President e. w. Pargny Of the Amer-
can Sheet and TIN Plate Company, to
the effect that 10 per cent Of the
oon1pany's sheet plants and 40 per
cent OF the tin plate plants were oper-
ating. President McArdle Of the. Anal
gamaked said:
"This Is just the percentage Of the
cosnpany's capacity that has been
non union for years past. so the trust
evidently does not claim to be operat-
ing any of the plants affected by the
strike order"
The union leaders claim that the
tion in the attempted opening OF the
Mononghela and Dem1nler plants has
failed owing to the lack OF men to Al
the positions. It is claimed that 1z
the big plants involved in the strike
where the company made the most
determined effort to induce the mer
to ignore the strike order are tied VI
absolutely, not a man reporting fol
work. The total number of men out
now Is said to be about 5000, beside.
the day labor affected by the suspen-
sion.
5000 More to Join.
A new factor in the strength OF tn
| position Of the union men is the de-
Termination of tin workers to refuse t.
| work with non-undon rolling mill men
In the tin mills Of the Greer and She
mango at Newcastle alone are 300
men, employed These. have an

Of the larger plants closed by tn

will prevail and the union men nov

their old places.

mated says he had heard such a re
port and declared: IT this is tn
case the union will carry the fight In
to the enenny-s country. We have no
attempted to persuade the men EN-

MARKET LETTER
From Our Regular Kansas City
Stock Yard Correspondent

Kansas City Stock Yards, Feb.
l, 1909. Cattle receipts here last
week were $4,000 head, lightest
week this year, and other markets
also lightly supplied. The storm
came too late in the week to nc.
count for the small run, and the
most plausible explanation seems
to be that there is a general short
age of cattle on feed ready for
market. This is borne out by the
slim run today at all points. The
market last week advanced 10 to
ID cents but the gain was granted
under strong protest, and trade
