BIG MEETING is HELD In
THE INTEREST Of LABOR

The mass meeting held last evening
at the Kerredge theater i'm observance
of the international Labor Day." was
attended by large audience. who list
ened TO addresses on the labor question
by a number OF well known speakers.
The South Range Italian band played
"A number of selections outside the the
alter before the meeting and also gave
several numbers from the stage dur
ing the program. The meeting was
called to order by Walter Toupin of
Laurium, who introduced the first
speaker. p. III. O'Brien OF Calumet.
Mr.. O'Brien explained the sgnlh-
canoe of the international labor day"
stating that May 1 not only marked
the spring of the year but was the
"springtime OF hopeyo 10 the working
man. He traced the origin OF the labor
movement back to the time OF the
Egyptians. and their system of slavery,
then took up Grecian and Roman slav-
cry, with the organizations effected by
the latter and the measures taken to
prevent the slave from revolving, I'm
spite of which they frequently did re-
bel The forming OF tradesmen's guilds
i'm England following the downfall of
the feudal system OF serfdom was
touched upon and, the French revolu-
ton in 1898 was traced. as regards its
influence in spreading the doctrine Of
1.-THE rights of man."
Coming down to recent years, Mr..
O'Brien explained the various national
labor organizations in the United
States. including the National. the
Knights of Labor, the American Fed
Grafton of Labor, and finally the West
ern Federation of Labor and the Unit
ed Mine Workers of America. This
brought him to a consideration OF labor
questions affecting the copper country
with its cosmopolitan population and
diversity of languages, notwithstand-
ing which he said the same impul rs
and feelings and ambitions animated
the workngmen, whether Firms, or
Austrians or Hungarians or Poles. or
Irish or Cornishmen. Racial preju-
dices should be forgotten, he said and
the brotherhood of man recognized.
He advocated organization, not for
the purpose of striking, but to secure
that recognition which could not be
had as individuals. He said that the
miners knew that the price of copper
was at the present time at low figure
and none realized better than they the
folly of striking under such circum-
stances. The address of Mr.. O'Brier
was filed with many excellent points
which received hearty approval and
Applause. s
Following him came addresses in
Finnish. Austrian, and italian by Prof
Leo Lauklxi, of MINNESOTA. formerly
connected with the stan OF the Han
cock Tyomies; Charles Bartolini ant
Michael Gregorich.

Ottawa, Ont, May 9.--An explosion

this is considered an underestimate.
Practically every window in Hull was
broken and glass was broken in every

able to convince the court that its
methods provided absolute safety. The

TAYLOR IN RACE FOR
SUPERINTENDENT
PRESENT DEPUTY WOULD BE su.
PERFNTENDENT OF PUBLIC
INSTRUCTION..

Bismarck, N. D., May 9.--E. ]. Tay-
Tor, at present deputy State superin-
tendent of schools, will be. candidate
for the nomination as superintendent
at the June primary election. He
stated positively thai he would be i'm
the field and his petition was circulated
here and will be sent out to different
parts of the state during the week. In
regard to the report that Is being cir
culated to the effect that he had stated
that he would not be a Candidate he
said that that remark was made about
year ago and at that time he. had no
idea that any combination of circum-
stances could arise that would make
him be a candidate and that he did not
make up his mind to enter the race
until the time of the meeting of the
educational association at Minot last
winter
He was told that there was a report
about the state that he was simply AL
lowing his name to be used to scare Off
other candidates and that when it
came to a show down he would with
draw and leave the field open for. "A. L.
Woods Of Grand Forks. He stated i'm
reply that there was absolutely nothing
to the report and that he had never
been approached with such a PROPOSE
tion and would not consider 1t in anv
event. Mr. Taylor stated to q reporter
that he would use his best efforts TO
lift the office to which he aspires out
of politics and he hoped that any OF
the papers that might see fit to sup
port him in his candidacy would desist
from any mud Singing and he hoped
the campaign could be conducted along
clean lines.
Mr. Taylor has neither the time nor
the money to make an extensive cam
paign and will leave the matter up to
his friends. His becoming a candidate
was solely on account of the large
number of friends among the teachers
and school men Of the state and from
many resident engaged in other lines
Of pursuit.
