Man Who Led Stl Breakers in

Getting His.
DESERTED BY THOSE WHOM
HE NEFARIOUSLY SERVED
Charged With Misappropriating
Funds Of Employers Detec-
tive Agency.

T. P. Mcguire, who for several
years has had charge of the local
branch of the Employers Detective
agency, was arranged in municipal
court on Tuesday on a charge of hav-
ing taken $489.S9 belonging to the
agency. He waived examination and
was bound over to the grand jury.
1t Is said that an effort is being made
to settle the matter out of court, and
before the grand jury has an oppor-
tunity to investigate the case.
: The local branch was closed
short time ago, due to falling off
of business. Mcguire was the man
who handled the strike of the West
ern Federation of Miners for the
Steel trust on the range in 1907. He
was given plenipotentiary powers by
the sheriff, and deputies engaged by
him from the centers of crime in the
east were sworn in as peace officers
contrary to the law of this state.
There ought to be sufficient graft
tude left with the employers whom
he served to help him out of his
scrape, but gratitude Is not char
acteristic of those who boss the big

find that their nefarious business does
not pay in the end. They are SIM
ply used to tide over a situation, and
the institutions which employ them
have as little respect for them as the
laborers have hatred.

Reason for Unions Opposing
Their Presence in Demon
stration to MIR. Taft.

The trade unions of St. Louis dur
Ing the reception of President Taft,
refused to permit union bands to en-
ter the parade with Boy Scouts. Their
opposition to the Boy Scout move
ment grows out of more than it's mill
tary aspect. Using the movement as
Ia subterfuge to induce young boys
to get away from the gang" idea,
its leaders have furnished them to
break a strike of bootblacks in Des
Moines.
The boys there demanded ten cents
for a shoe shine, w. D. Olney, scout
master. of the U. S. Grant troop of
Boy Scouts, of, the First Methodist
church of Des Moines sent fifty boys
to take the places of the boot blacks.
+ Business men of the town supplied
stands to the Boy Scouts in order
to force the bootblacks to come to
their terms. Speaking of the strike
the leader of the Boy Souts said: -:
TT is an outrage that was pre-
vented by the, timely interference of
the Boy Scouts, who were eager to
demonstrate their practical value to
the community. The boys were fur
nished with stands, and they worked
earnestly until the strike was broken

Evident Movement to Discredit
Him Resented by Host of
Warm Friends.
PRESIDENCY OF COUNCIL
CAME TO HIM UNSOUGHT
Stands in Community As Fore
most Advocate of Public
Ownership.

It was unkind of the News Tribune
In its news columns last Monday.
when it opened gossip on candidates
for mayor at the coming election, to
give left handed thrust at Alder
man Joseph Shartel for accepting
the presidency of the common coun-
Gil after a tentative caucus of his
party had declared for Alderman
Frank Jordan for the office.
Every person who is familiar with
that affair knows full we'll that Mr..
Shartel did his level best to urge his
friends in the council not to vote for
him for president. The office was
thrust upon him, and he was left no
other alternative but to accept.
Won't Stand for This.
It is decidedly unfair to Mr.. Shar-
tel to accuse him of treachery in the
matter. His friends will not believe
1t, and if there are any members of
the Democratic party, in office or out.
who propose to use this subterfuge
against him, it will be resented by a
host of Mr.. Shartels friends in a
manner that is known to be effective
in politics.
Mr.. Shartel may or may not be a
candidate for mayor. We have not
consulted him about the matter, but
no matter what office he may seek he
will always prove. to be the same,
honest, uprightdand straight forward
man that he has been In the past
Shartel is no vacillating. wishy
washy weathercock in politics. He is
a man who stands right up to, be
counted on every public question. He
apologies are necessary in explana-
ton of his course.
For Public Ownership.
He is the foremost champion of
the principle Of municipal owner
ship in the city council, and his po-
sition on the question is not prompted
by political ambition, but because he
believes in it. He. holds to the view
that the city of Duluth can furnish
it's people with electric lighting cheap
er than a private corporation can,
and for this reason he wants the city
to own it's own lighting plant
His private life is above reproach: :
his habits are clean, and as a pub
lie official he is rendering honest, ef-
ficfent and faithful service to the
city. What more is expected of a
man? Would that there were more
like him in politics.
Cullum's Administration.
It is probably too early to discuss
candidates for mayor. The Labor
World has every confidence in the
administration Of Mayor Cullum. II
is not known whether or not Mr.. Cul-
lum will be a candidate to succeed
himself. In all probab bi1ity he will not
enter the race unless he is urged to
do so. If he does not become a can
d1date his mantle could not fall upon
worthier shoulders than those Of AL
derman Shartel.
In any event there ought not to be
any contest in the Democratic pri.
maries. There is every reason to hope
i for a united party in this. city fol
the municipal election, and also fol-
the coming state and national cleo.
tons. Let not division arise over
scramble for office. Principle should
claim the first consideration. It's tri.
umph will depend entirely unon
united action on the part of all who
stand for honest administration OF
public affairs.
