Year or Independence Day? The day of thanks
is more typicaly national holiday than is any
other 1t is American and unique. Every coun-
try has one or more days set apart to commemo-
rate independence the granting of some great
boon to its people that may be considered a step
on the stairway to liberty. but the Thanksgiving
day of the United States is without close com
parison In any land. Thanksgiving day begins
the winter season
Wherever you find American you WILL as
the month of November wanes, find one who
thinks more of being at home or at the home of
intimate friends for Thanksgiving day. Clubs ho-
tells, public institutions, all to 1t that their
patrons, members or inmates provided with
a sumptuous repast for the one great feast day
and whenever and wherever possible a great fat
turkey graces the board.
The turkey should be national bird, as 1t
is or, rather, was everywhere in wild state,
and helped the original colonsts to provide for
their families 1t has for 800 years been the chief
feature at all important strictly American ban
quets, and may be safely called greatest

indianapolis, Ind, Jan. 28.-"Stand
or fall together" That was the sem
timent of the convention of the United
Mine Workers of America when it
closed\ discussion Of the prospective
strike Of the bituminous coal miners
yesterday, n
The resolution will not be FORM
ulated definitely until the wage scale
committee reports. In the speeches
Of the union officials, enthusiastically
applauded by the thousand or more
delegates, it was declared that the
bituminous miners are determined to
demand an increase of wages of 10
per cent or more, that no one district
organization shall sign the uniform
wage contract till all districts shall
sign,> and if strike is inevitable in
one or more districts, all shall strike.
The basic contract for the whole
country is to be negotiated next week
at Toledo, though specifically the con-
ference there is to adjust the differ
ences only of western Pennsylvania,
Ohio and Indiana. The present con-
tract in these three states expires
March 81.
National President Lewis, President
Mcdonald of the Illinois district and
other leaders urged unity of action.
If the miners made uniform de-
mand for an increase in wages, and
all threw down their tools at once II
the operators in any districts refused
to yield, the non-union miners Of
West Virginia and other fields, now
hard pressed by the higher cost Of
living and lower earnings. probably
could be rallied to the standard Of

lea, said the. speakers.
The convention voted $1,000 to the
striking garment workers of st. Louis,
$4,000 to the strikers of iron, steel
and tin workers, and $1,000 to the
SWitchmen's union.

Commenting on the Duluth perfor-
nance OF this play. it Is astonishing
that so many telling lines In the dia-
logue can pass union men seated IN
the audience without eliciting un-
bounded applause.
Surprise at the outspoken nature
of the lines is the only explanation
that can be offered
AS there are powerful elements all
over the country arrayed against the
presentation Of the piece it behooves
every union sympathizer to lend d
hand to make the remaining per-
formances popular. Get in the front
seats. boys, and give the players a
hand when the lines fit your ideas
and there are many places where
they will, if you are real union men

SICKNESS HANDICAPS
TREVILIION'S CAMPAIGN

Probably few voters in the Fourth
ward are aware Of the rigorous handi-
cap under which Thomas Trevillion,
Republican candidate for alderman
from that ward, has been compelled
to prosecute his campaign for re-
election
For the past two years George Ire
wilton, brother of the well-known
grocer has suffered from cancer Of
the face and neck and for several
weeks has been confined to his bed
Two weeks ago he was removed from
his brothers residence to ST. Mary's
hospital where he now lies at the
point of death.
During all this period of suffering
Thomas Trevillion has cared for his
brother with true fraternal solicitude
and has for the past two weeks been
constantly at his bedside to the posi-
BILE detriment of his canvass. It is his
request that voters of the Fourth ward
on whom he has been unable to call
for this reason, bear him In mind at
the polls and lend him their support
All that is best for the general well
fare of Duluth, and the specific well
fare of her citizens is his platform.

hand THAI. RULES"
IS B|J0U FEATURE

A particularly strong and note
worthy feature of this weeks bill at
the Bijou is the labor playlet, THE
Hand That Rules" which is given
place on the program at each per-
Torrance.
This play possesses marked novel
ties both in it's lines and scenic
accessories and no union man in this
city should fail to be present at the
remaining performance Friday, Sat-
urday or Sunday.
The double theme contained in the
STORY engages the rapt attention Of
the audience from the rise of the
curtain and this tensity is maintain
ed to the end Indeed, so engrossed
does an audience become with the
industrial principles eXpounded that
little applause is given by first night
audiences.
That this neglect is not mark of
Interpretation but is the result of the
attention the playlet demands of its
auditors is evidenced by the comment
heard on all sides after a performance
among those who have attended.
The Hand That Rules" covers in
forceful dialogue the existing social
conditions between capital and labor
and deals with economic problems
in convincing style.
The play is above all clean and
wholesome-one to which no organ
ICED worker should for one moment
hesitate to take his wife and family.
The plot covers partnership be-
tween Allison and Patterson, mill
owner. The latter purchases a patent
from the former for cash consider
alton and a royalty, paying the first
and robbing the heirs of the latter
Mabel Allison succeeds her father
as draughtswoman in Patterson's en-
