CONTRAST BETWEEN
THE CHURCHES

+ In striking contrast with the
action of the Christian Reform
church of Grand Rapids, Mich,
is that of the general assembly
of the Presbyterian church ! in
Canada, which declared recently
for the rights of the toilers... :. Il. E.
The general assembly by. I'M
animous vote, expressed it's be-
lief that it was the duty Of the
church to show that Christian
principles apply to human af-
fairs.
, The statement issued by the as
sembly says, that the church
ought to declare for the acknowl-
edgment of the obligations Of
wealth; for the abolition of pow
erty; for the protection of child:
hood; for the safeguarding Of
working people from dangerous
machinery; for compensation for
industrial accidents; for the reg
ulation Of working conditions in
other ways; for one days rest in
seven; for cancellation and arbi-
tration in industrial disputes :;
for proper: housing; for proper
care Of dependents and criminals
and for the prevention of crime
and vice; for pure food and
drugs; for wholesome recreation !;
and for international peace
The Labor World regards the
argument Of that deliverance as
a condemnation of paying tribute
to Mammon, as did the self
styled Christian Reform church
of Grand Rapids, Mich, referred
to elsewhere herein. -

MORE RAII.ROAD FOI.I,Y. &


The rail- az of MINES ta seem
to delight IA exciting the wrath
Of the people Their attitude of
late has created more extremists
than anything else that has hap
pened in recent years. a.
# stringent legislation affect
ing the railroads is passed BY the
next Legislature the companies
will have no one to blame but
themselves.
There comes time when even
the most conservative people will
release their safety valves, and
when such: time is at hand, woe
be unto the oppressors Of men.
Years ago when the three-cent
fare was charged by the railroads
a special rate Of one way fare for
the round trip was granted to the
Twin Cities during fair week. =. :
This rate went into effect on the
Saturday proceeding the Monday
that the. State fair opened, thus
giving many working people in
Duluth an opportunity to spend
Labor day, a legal holiday, at the
fair. :.,.@
Now the three-cent fare: has
been restored thanks to federal
court that has assumed legislative
powers-only a fare and one-third
rate for the round trip has been
granted, and this does not go in
to effect until Monday, the open
ing day. e. 81,
The action ofHthe railroads will
keep thousands of people away
from the State fair. It will sorely
effect the receipts Of that institu-
ton as well as the railroads.:

SENATOR MOSES E. cLAPP.

We are learning to love Senator
Moses E. Clapps of this state:
We are admiring him for the
principles he enunciates, and the
enemies he is: making.
We. did not always think SO
well Of the ''Black Eagle" from
Minnesota. Possibly we did not
know him well enough, and then
maybe he has seen the light since
coming to" ASSOCIATE with that
great statesmen from Wisconsin,
Senator Robert 3. N. Ia Ia Toilette.
Even yirtue7<is: contagious. Z
=: However, in ! these days of
political chicanery in servile
obedience to big. business;,s*it is
truly refreshing to find Senator
Clapp thoroughly. ;oblivious of all
political methods and machine
forces; >..
His recent acts and deliveranceeis
on the floor of the United States
senate are Indicative Of intellect.
ual strength, = independence OF
character, and sincere devotion
to the peoples interests. u.s..
What a contrast there is be.
tween him and: the senior senator
from Minnesota, Mr.. Nelson. One
is truly progressive, the other is
steadfastly reactionary. One is
a champion Of popular rule, the
other is a servant of machine
politicians. One represents all the
people Of Minnesota, the other a
special few. =, r. W.
Nelson stood with Taft against
q people s government in Arizona:
Clapp took thesother side. His
speech on the admission Sof
Arizona and New Mexico to state

LABOR DAY IN DULUTH.

LABOR DAY IN DULUTH.
Next Monday is Labor day.
On this supreme holiday for the
year 1911, the Labor World ex-
tends fraternal and sincere greet
ings to the men of all crafts, and
wish them in their respective lines
Of endeavor that high degree Of
prosperity in the year to come,
that their industry has so justly
merited.
All over our country from the
wave beaten coast of Maine to the
golden sands of California, and
from the Great Lakes to the sunny
Gulf of Mexico the noblest, best
and most earnest citizens of this
great nation, will lay aside their
tools and implements Of trade and
industry, and devote the day to
innocent and joyous recreation.
AS the American people as a
whole, celebrate the Fourth Of
July in honor Of the birth of
political freedom, so will the
myriad workers turn out en- masse
and make fitting demonstration
over wrat the union of the Great
ing classes through. their own
ceaseless efforts has accomplished
for the men and women upon
whom the industrial we'll being
of our nation depends.
The workers know that what
ever has been accomplished in this
age towards the betterment of
their condition, has come through
hard and persistent efforts on
part of the unions, supplemented
by loyal devotion on part of
faithful leaders.
They are fully conscious Of the
fact that no kind and considerate
employer Of labor ever yet
voluntarily increased their daily
or weekly wages, until the i'm
portunity Of the organized work
ers had left him no other alter
native.
G.. They know that no philan-
+ thropic employer reduced their
hours of labor, until the hosts of
organized labor compelled him to
do so.
u They know that every humane
and righteous concession which
has been granted to them resulted
from years Of arduous agitation
and effort on part Of the organ
izaJioDs Of labor.
@ Therefore, the union men Of Du-
luth knowing all these things to
be SO, will turn out next Monday,
n with; the full satisfaction that
their holiday is well earned, and
the sense Of that fact will vastly
increase the pleasures of the &C.
III. cas;on.
Considering the many import
4. ant successes that havae been
MI achieved in the industrial world
since. the Labor day of 1910, the
toilers must feel encouraged to
put forth greater efforts in the
HI years to come in behalf Of those
great principles upon which the
organized labor movement is
%# 49,.
Probably there never was a
q. time in the history of unionism in
q which there was a greater in
II ccntive to earnest, united and
loyal action than the present, and
is sasfe to state that so far as
s The workers of Duluth are con
cerned, there never was 50 great
5sa desire, 50 high an aspiration to
