STRIKE IS SETTLED
TO SATISFACTION
Zenith Dredge Company Agrees
to Allow Men the Usual
Union Contract. =

Tie strike of the men employed by
the Zenith Dredge company has been
settled and the terms of, the settle
ment are satisfactory to both the men
and the concern. &c.,.
The strike was settled Tuesday of
this week. It had been on since Sat-
urday of the week before. With only
the loss of one working day, the men
are back at work under favorable
conditions ~ :
The settlement was brought about
by Martin Cole, agent in charge Of
the state free employment office and
shoremen's union. The men and
their employers are now said to be
in perfect harmony. ii.
There were about 80 men affected
by the strike. The organizations In
volved were the Licensed Tugmen's
Protective association, the dredge en-
gineers, tug firemen and the dredge
workers. =. 81. 49,. :! = !: ss"...< II =.
The men wanted the union shop
and a contract such as corresponds
with other dredging companies. Their
was because their employers did not
fully understand what they wanted in
the beginning. that they were not
granted without the loss of the day.
The same trouble was experienced
in Marquette, Mich, and Toledo, Ohio.
The men obtained their contract

HARRY LAUDER FAKES
ON THE SCOTCH PEOPLE

Probably one of the most success
ful fakirs on the English speaking
stage today is Harry Lauder, who
comes to the Lyceum next week.
Mr.. Lauder is heralded throughout
America as an actor who receives a
salary Of $1,000 week for produc-
ing in song a lot Of cheap verse that
in no way expresses. the true char
acter of a Scotsman.
The idea of CHASING the burlesque
Of Harry Lauder with the genius of
Burns and Scott is preposterous. Read
Burns and Scott, and then listen to
Harry Lauder and one will become
thoroughly disguised with him.
Scottish character is of too high
order to be prostituted at the rate of
$1,000 per week by one. so uniting
to represent it.
g Genius starved Burns and Scott,
while fakirism permits Lauder TO
thrive. =,
We think we know Scotsmen.
There is not an ungenerous hair in
their heads, but there are large
number of them in every English
speaking country whose characteristic
loyalty to a fellow countryman is be-
ing exploited at the rate of $500 per
head to feather the nest of an am
bilious theatrical promoter and an
undeserving Scotsman. !, ;'''
We have in Minnesota two men.
one a. union bricklayer in st. Paul,
and the other a clerk, in Duluth, who
are as, far above Harry Lauder as the
sun is above the clouds. Harry Laud-
or has simply well paid for reputa-
ton, and none but q dupe will cough
up $500 to hear him get off a lot Of
rot that m1srepresents the true char
acter of the Scotch people:

up to a life of Incidence, have often
tod of the opportunities open to
children to learn trades and useful
occupations. Their arguments are ut
terly without foundation so far as this
state is concerned. The superintend-
ents, in reporting the occupations
of children granted certificates en-
tered, only reported Is children as
apprentices. The great majority of
children are employed as cash boys
and girls, errand boys, messengers
and helpers. 1t may also be noted
that, judging from the. experience of
our inspectors, few Of them remain
very long in one place, and that they
seldom advance far in the service of
any of their employers.
Many Puzzling Problems.
The enforcement Of such laws as
those under consideration involves
many puzzling problems. 1t is by no
means pleasure to drag parents or
employers into the police court for
minor transgressions until we are sat-
isfied that the violation of the. law
is wilful, and we often hesitate to
act quickly. In many instances there
are extenuating circumstances, While
in others the child appears to be old
er than he is and both inspectors
and employers are deceived.
However, if we are given the CO.
operation of all persons interested
in the improvement and rigid en-
forcement of the child labor and
compulsory education laws, the en-
forcement of them can be gradually
made more perfect and effective,
and we unreservedly pledge our de-
partment to do it's part in this grand
and noble work.

STATE CHILD LABOR
COMMITTEE IS HERE

Dor, constant standing, the vibration
of machinery, and the nerve strain
of factory surroundings upon a minor
child, with other attendant evils of
factory life, have been so we'll ex-
planned by eminent physicians that
comment upon them by layman is
unnecessary. These evil effects up
on health are certain to have an in
fluence upon morals. It is very diff
ficult to cultivate healthy souls in I'M
healthy bodies.
Dangers of Factory Work.
The moral dangers of factory work
are not due to factory workers be-
ing any worse morally than other
classes of people, but to the fact that
some moral degeneratesl inevitably
find their way into the factories, and
on account of the close physical con-
test that obtains have unusual oppor-
tunities for harm. Young children,
both because of their lack of educa-
ton and the suggestibility of youth
are naturally more susceptible to
their influence. It is we'll known that
one bad person can do more harm
than a dozen good ones can over
come, and that children can meet
vicious and dangerous associates in
the factory as we'll as in street oc-
equations. 1t is for this reason that
I conclude factory work for children
to be harmful.
Few Apprentices Wanted,
The few supporters of child labor
who are so anxious that the child
should learn habits of industry, and
who hear that they may be brought

Prayer for Universal Peace.

1t has been suggested, that on
the Ist of next February, that the
10000, 900 English speaking peo-
pie throughout the world refrain
from their usual activities for the
period of five minutes and in silent
prayer thank God for the peace
that has existed between this coun-
try and Great Britain since the
ratification of the treaty of Client.
The writer believes in catholic
peace. and would suggest that all
christian nations and people join
in a prayer for universal peace on
that date, for war is barbarous and
unchristian, and the fact that
christian nations, so called, are
spending billions of dollars annu-
ally upon armies and navies, while
millions of people are in absolute
want, is burlesque on christianity.
The command, Love thy neigh
Dor as myself" is just as imperative
today as it was nineteen hundred
years ago. Eliminate greed, am
bition and selhshness out of the
consciousness of men and nations
and there would be no war.

a junket at the expense of the tax :
payers. While in the senate he
was regarded by his associates,
both republicans and democrats, as
one, if not the ablest member of
that body, its foremost constitu-
tlonal lawyer, whose advice was
always sought on matters Of nation
al Importance.
The entire country recognized in
him a man of wonderful ability, ell
oquence and sterling honesty, who
was undoubtedly the strongest man
Intellectually that Wisconsin ever
sent to the senate and who reflected
honor on his state.
He resigned because of an ad-
version to personal politics, a dis
like to the personal abuse to which
he had been subjected by members
Of his own party who wanted him
out Of their way because of his
brilliancy, integrity and sincerity;
and because he desired to make a
few thousand dollars for his old
age. The writer knows whereof he
writes and can say without fattery
to Mr.. Spooner, that he would add
greatly to the supreme bench, but
he would not accept an appointment
if offered him, nor even the presi-
dency under 'anv circumstances.
