FORWARD MARCH,

The movement, now so we'll un-
der way in Duluth, for arouslng
the members of organized labor
from the lethargy and indiffer-
ence which seem to have pos
sessed too many Of the member
ship of the various local unions,
deserves the support not only OF
loyal union men, but Of every
man in the city favorable to the
growth and prosperity of Duluth.
The policy which enriches the
few but tends to keep the 50 noses
of the many to the grind stone, y
has been permitted to obtain in a
more or less degree in Duluth
ever since the lockout of three
years ago, and the majority Of
our people are beginning to real
ize that the effect of the policy
indicated is to enable say 50 to
100 Of our already-rich-
citizens to double and quadruple
their holdings in marvellously
brief periods Of time, while the
remaining thousands Of our pop
ulation are finding it harder and
harder to acquire even a liveli-
hood to say nothing Of saving for
the rainy day.
No later than Yesterday, a
member of the real estate ex-
change stated in oud office, that
the ''lockout war on organized
labor was the greatest mistake
ever made by the business men of
Duluth, and "all of us today
said he, ''are reaping the rewards
of our folly. Il CAM he con-
tinued, 'count on the fingers of
one hand the men whom it bene-
fitted, at the expense of bringing
disaster to our whole population. -
We have no public laws regu-
lating or restraining the rapacity
Of greed, and the trades union
movement is society's only protec-
ton against the cankerous worm,
which, if permitted to go un-
checked, would eventually des-
troy the very foundations of So
Getty and bring destruction and
ruin upon ALL
Trades unionism in Duluth has
had it's baptism Of fire, and bears
proudly the scars of many hard
fought battle. 1t has met with
some repulses, and was perhaps
temporarily stunned with the
severity Of the "lockout'' blow
But when there is genuine en-.
thuslasm at the bottom of men s
souls, silence and stupor are OF
short duration, and the men will
arise in their might to accomplish
" greater things than ever before.
II Forward march, and do it fol-
the people Of Duluth, are now la.
bor's watchwords, and it will take
& more than the remnants of a uni
versally despised and relegated
= to-eblivion lockout to prevent its
. onward progress.

Initiative and Referendum.

The people everywhere
throughout our country are be-
ginning to realize that some new
departure in law-making must
be resorted to if we ever hope
to pry loose from the manage
ment of our government the
plutocratic masters, and the
corrupt politicians who do their
bidding. The people are grow
ing tired of being politically
beheaded by the office-holders
after every election, and are re-
sorting to the one and only
remedy to restore public owner
ship of the government. All
progressive political thinkers
now agree that direct legislation
through the initiative and re-
ferendum is the panacea for
our political ills.

To Editor Of the Labor World
saw a short article in the Herald
a few evenings ago on "stand pat
grammar" I did not quite under
stand the article in full, and would
like to ask you a couple of questions
on the subject.
1. What is collective noun and
how can I tell it?
2. How am I to tell when the verb
of which it is the subject should be
singular or plural?

NEW YORK HOLOCAUST


NEW YORK HOLOCAUST
An article in another column
reciting the horrors of the recent
holocaust in the city Of New York
! demands the serious consideration
of all who regard human life as
| if more value than mere money.
1t is an undeniable fact that we
! as a people have reached a point
in our so-called modern industry
where human life is the cheapest
commodity. Wage-earners, if they
would work at all, are in many
instances compelled to submit to
hazards of life, health and safety
that those who employ them
would not for moment consider.
Dangerous machinery is ungarded
fire-escapes and proper exits un-
provided, disease breeding condi-
tons permitted to surround the
workers, all that a few dollars
may be saved-for the dollar is
the god, and the life and health
of the toiler a matter of most
scant consideration. This type of
employer, in his greed, will ex-
pose his employees to any risk,
however great; for the loss of a
dollar is as the loss Of his soul,
! while the death of a worker costs
nothing, in many cases not even
an atom of sympathy. This con-
dition is said to prevail in the
clothing trade, the victim of this
disaster, to probably greater ex-
tent than in any other. Did the
fashionably attired aristocrats of
our modern society know under
what conditions some of their fine
apparel is made, it would bring
the blush Of shame to the checks
of those still capable of such emo
ton for lending the aid of their
bargain-hunting to the fostering
such conditions, and cause a VOW
to aid to their fullest the organ
ization of these workers that is
istriving SO hard to uplift them.
And that these poor, Defense
less, and in many instances friend
! less girls must continue to be
crushed and burned alive in this
fashion shrieks out in condemna-
ton Of a people who will invite
such horrors in a country that
claims civilization, and should
cause to hang their heads with a
sense Of criminal responsibility
those who have not done their
share to prevent them.
! The keen-eyed judges of New
York state with seemingly more
regard for the dollar of the en-
ployer than the lives Of the work
ers, have recently torn down the
compensation act Of that state. It's
legislature, and those of other
states where such protective meas
ures have been lax, will now be
flooded with bills to reduce the
possibility Of such ca]amities. And
everywhere action is sought will
be repeated the spectacle of the
employers forces lined up in
bitter opposition. But the most
vigorous fight should be made by
every portion Of our citizenship
with the least spark of humanity
for the most drastic measures pos
sible, and the fight must be led
| by organized labor.
/ And whether under old or new
laws, neither avaricious employer
nor grating politician should be
| allowed to stand in the way of
I their enforcement; but through
out the length and breadth of
this theoretically civilized land
should arise storm of protest

Comment: Your reply is very in.
genious indeed, a luxurious head
OF hair requires large hat to
contain it, and when it's volume is
increased by a generous supply of
"rats' it is impracticable to place
any limitations on the size of the
hat. It is little strange how
ever, that of all organized living
creatures, with the exception of
man in a civilized state, it is the
male that is most ostentations
and makes the greatest display of
"pomp, feathers, pride and page
antry.''
Your explanation of the shoes
takes direct issue with the :'why"
Of the question. Perhaps you are
right, and we will not prolong the
argument but abide by the deci.
sion of the corn doctor.

How 1t Feels to Be Run Over.

"When l was run over," writes a correspondent, Il had not seen the car approaching. The first thing 1 knew was that was on the ground, kicking upward with my legs in an effort to get from under the car. Then l felt a wheel going over ny chest, which bent as it passed over. In the inter- yening second or two 1 went through several minutes worth of feelings. l had the sensations of astonishment at being on the ground, of wanting to roll aside and away. of bracing myself and my chest especially-stiff to resist something, whatever it might be, while lightning flash of fear was dilnly there and subconscious query, What on earth neXtY Yet it WAS hardly fear, because there was no time for such durable sensation. It was rath- CT T sense of being suddenly confront ed with grave reality, of doubtful, obscurely terrible import" = London Chronicle.

Legislators LOafing.

Little was done by either House Qt Senate Tuesday afternoon, the Senate going into executive session to deliberate upon the appointments made by Gov. Donaghey on Capitol Comm, ssion, State Tax Commission and the four agricultural school school boards. Some opposition came up on some of the appointments, and the entire afternoon was spent be- fore an agreement was reached. The Senate must confirm these appoint ments and Gov. Donaghey is sure to win out in the end. In the House the only important measure of the day was bill by Lackey to prevent the sale of liquor within four blocks Of the State Capitol. Little, of Missis- slppi, offered an amendment to ex- tend the limits to four miles of the Capitol, and amendment, with bill, Was referred to the committee on temperance.

Faces of Governors.

Abandoned like a derelict, stands the old State House, a portion of the Tax Commission, the Supreme Court and State Treasurer being the only ones to occupy corners in the build ing which now appears much larger than when occupied. But though it has been abandoned the pictures ot men Jwho made Arkansas famous, done in oil at prices which would make the present administrator sit up and take notice, remain on the walls of the halls formerly occupied by the General Assembly. Some o1 these portraits will probably never be moved from the old structure, but none of them will hang in a more prominent place in the new building than that of Gov. Donaghey for the Senate has started a movement tC have a portrait painted of him by a famous painter and have it hung in the Senate Chamber as the gover. nor who erected the building now oc- cupied by the state officers and the General Assembly. It is probable that the Art Commission to be appointed when the act providing for it passes will have charge of this painting o1 Gov. Donaghey and see that it i. properly placed in the building.
