Meets First and Third Wednes-
day of Each Month at Kala-
mazoO Block,

A good and faithful number of this
local met us few days ago and said,
why don't you print more news con-
corning our local; there is lots doing
that would be encouraging to the boys
if it were printed?"
We are ready and willing at all
times to print everything of interest
to union men, but it is up to the mem
bers of the various unions to furnish
us the information We are not per-
mitted to visit unions of which we are
not members, and it is, of course, I'M
possible for us to report anything Of
which we know nothing.
What an interesting paper we would
have If just a small percentage Of the
recording secretaries would do their
duty to their union and send us the
news
Brother M. j. Harvey, financial sec
rotary of this local has very clean cut
views on the subject of human rights.
In addition to what he says on our
front page with respect to the i'm
prisonment decision, he says further
| that ito put Messrs. Gompers, Mitch
ell and Morrison in Jail for doing only
| what the law and the constitution
clearly gives them the right to do is
| an outrage so great that no language
can adequately express the abomina-
tion of it. 1t is an exercise. of judicial
! authority which in this country is
base usurpation and should find no
| support outside of such nations as
Russia and Turkey.
! 1T can only have one result: TO in
tensify a class feeling already toe
strong. If class hatred should ever be-
come as strong and bitter as sectional
hatred was in 1860, the result will be
even more disastrous and fearful. The
working men of this nation are loya
to laws made by the law1naking pow.
ers, but we have no respect for judge
made laws and rank abuse Of judicial
powers.
'Tnis nation can only exist as long
as the great mass Of the common peo
pie respect the laws and the courts
but it is impossible to respect tina

conflicts with the provision of the
constitution granting free speech and

Therefore, be it resolved by the
Woman's International Union Label
League of Duluth, Mimi, that we en-
ter an emphatic protest against said
decision; and also against the Ian
guage used by the judge in address,
ing our brothers at the time of pass
sentence.
And, be it further resolved that a
copy of this resolution be sent to the
President of the United States, and
a copy thereof be given to the daily
press.

In a quiet unpretentious way the

their endeavors for the advancement
of trades union principles. Brother

great respect for the labor agitator;;"
for he says that the agitator Is to So
ciety what a stream of pure. spring
water is to a pool; stop the flow and
the pool stagnates, becomes covered
with scum and throws off its deadly
malaria on the surrounding air. It is
the agitator that keeps society from
stagnating and imparts life to the CON-
| munity in which he moves.
The agitator holds an honored place
in history, in fact, the most honored.
Moses was an agitator. s;He dared to

PLAN TO PREVENT DESTRUCTION

ING AND TURPENTINING-
STATE LEGISLATURE is APP
PEALED TO FOR AID.
snecIaI 70 The InurnaL

Washington, D. c., Aug IA pre-
nminary investigation c. the forest
conditions of Florida was made during
the past winter by the United States
Forest service in cooperation with
the state. The report is now COM
pleted and has been submitted to the
governor for his consideration. 1t is
hoped that the legislature may be
able to incorporate at least some OF
the recommendations into law in the
near future.
Florida occupies a prominent posi-
ton among the timber and turpsn-
tine producing states of the country.
Ii has, at present, greater per cent
OF it's land in forest than any other
state Some Of the finest stands Of
longleaf pine IN the south are con-
tanned within it's borders. The de
velopment Of the forest industries
during the past few years has been
phenomenal. While the agricultural
development in certain parts Of the
state will make permanent use Of i'm
mense areas o. cut-over land, the
bulk Of lands now being cut over will
not be needed for agricultural pUr-
poses for many years to come. In the
meantime the timber producing pos
sibilities of such lands are being de-
SJTOy6Q Dy repeated QTSSy IuTp9nJlH-
ing, and reckless numbering. The OPP
portunity to organize and adopt plans
of forest management should not be
delayed until the forest lands have
all been cut over.
Many states have temporarily de-
velOped at the expense of their for
est interests and have realized too
late the disastrous effects of wasting
their forest resources
A Forestry Commission.
The report Of the forest service ex-
aminer in Florida lays particular
stress on the Importance Of a strong
forest policy for the state. There
should be a commission of forestry to
have general supervision of the for
estTy interests of the state and to 'aP-
point a state forester. 1t should
be the duty of the state forester,
under the direction of the COM
mission, to advise private owners in
reference to forest management, 70

to encourage more conservative sys-
TENS of numbering and turpentining
to investigate tax and grazing prob
lens, and in general promote a
healthy interest in forest preservation
in the state.
The forest fire problem in Florida,
as in other southern states, was
found to be a most serious hindrance
to the perpetuation of the forests.
The practice of burning over the
ground annually destroys all posi-
bility of a young growth Of, pine to
take the place of the mature timber
when 1t is cut. Moreover, fires in
jure the standing timber, especially
where the trees have been boxed, and
destroy the vegetable covering of the
soil. 1t has been demonstrated that
repeated fires decrease the value OF
the forest for grazing purposes.
Forest Fires.
In order to check the annual fire
evil, the report proposes a forest fire
law for Florida, which shall make it
unlawful and punishable by fine o.
Imprisonment, or both, for any indi-
viduaI or corporation to start fires on
land not their own. The proposed
law also makes every owner liable for
damages resulting from the spread or
fire from his own land to that of an
other. There are many other i'm
pOrtant features in the proposed Law,
such as the appointment of fireward-
ems, the use Of spark aTTegters on 10
comotives and engines, and posting o.
fire notices.
The report furthermore recon-
mends the esta b1ishment OF state for
ests from tax lands and by purchas? :.
as has already been done by many
states in the country.
The forests of Florida have lasted
longer than in many states, perhaps
because the state has been more gem
eTOuSly endowed with Valua BILE
growth. The need of forest preserva-
ton has not been so apparent in the
past, but those who understand the
present conditions in Florida and in
other states should be alive to the
necessity of taking some action to
cut wisely what forests remain, and
provide for regeneration on lands
that have already been denuded. The
report explains the present situation
in detail and points the way for a
wiser consideration in the future.

Most certainly. if there are enough

off. Pensacola took the initiative IN
celebrating the commencement or
work on the canal and should rejoice
even more aTdently in its completion,
when it will mean more to the Deep
