Dust and tuberculosis.

As result of the dangers from con-
sumption to those exposed to various
forms of dust, and at the request OF
the National Association for the Study
and Prevention of tuberculosis, the
United States government has recently
appointed commission to work in CO.
operation with state authorities in
making an investigation into the con.
ditions of the metal mining industries
In the United States, with special ref
erence to diseases Of the lungs. The
work of the commission engaged in
this special task will follow lines
somewhat similar to those worked Out
by the Royal Commission of Australia
whose report was recently received in
this country.

inquired young lady of the laddie

Here, invited mamma to go away
for a lovely time with me, but she

When the Minister Scored.

In contradiction to the Christian
Register, Thomas r. Slicer tells this:
Some men the other night, in con-
versation with me, knowing was a
minister-and it is the spirit of this
time to put it up to a minister in
terms at least of gentle satire said:
We have been discussing conscience,
and one of them said. I have given a
definition of conscience; it is the ver-
micular appendix of the SOUL and they
laughed. And l said, That is good
definition in your case; you never
know you have it until it hurts YOU
Then they did not laugh"

the Day.

Getting Keener Under Pre-
sent Existing Conditions.
Poverty Is Degrading.

The poverty to which in advancing
civilization great masses of men are
condemned is not the freedom from
distraction and temptation which
sages have sought and philosophers
have praised: it is degrading and
embruiting slavery that cramps the
higher nature, dulls the finer feelings,
and drives men by it's pain to acts
which the brutes would refuse. 1t is
into this helpless, hopeless poverty,
that brushes manhood and destroys
womanhood. that robs even childhood
of it's innocence and joy. that the
working classes are being driven by
a force which acts upon them like a.
resistless and Implying machine.
The Land Question.
So long as one man can claim the
exclusive ownership of the land from
which other men must live, slavery
must exist, and. as material progress
goes on, must grow and deepen!
This is what is going on in the civil
lied world today. Private property in
land Is the neither milestone. Mat
erial progress is the upper milestone.

R00SEvELT'S IF" IS
DENOUNCED BY Otis
The Union Halter Has No Idea of
Giving the McNamaras' a
Fair Trial.
OTIS PROVES HIMSELF
AN UNWORTHY CITIZEN
Very Evident That His Concep-
ton Of Law and Order Is
That of the Savage.

The Chicago Public one of the abb
est edited periodicals in this nation
commenting on 'the controversy be-
tween Roosevelt and Otis says:
An Editorial Duel.
Roosevelt's editorial duel with Har-
rison Gray Otis is one in which the
instincts of every intellectually honest
reader must be with Roosevelt. Otis
Is the owner Of the Los Angeles Times
whose building was destroyed last
fall by an explosion of some kind.
A Gas Explosion.
Disinterested reports indicated that
the character Of the explosion was
that of one. caused by gas. Otis
decided, however, as soon as he heard
Of it, and while miles away, that it
had been caused by dynamite used
crim1nally for the purpose by labor
unionist agitators- particular
aversion. In the course of several
months, certain labor union men were
indicted upon charges of having
committed that crime. They are now
in jail at Los Angeles awaiting trial..
Roosevelt Right.
The question of whether the ex-
plosion was Of gas or dynamite is
still undecided in their case, and up
on its decision their lives may de-
pend. Under these circumstances.
Mr.. Roosevelt published an editorial
in the Outlook in which he said: IF
the explosion WAS not an accident, it
was an, outrage of dastardly iniquity,'
etc. The italics are ours. We use
them for the purpose of emphasizing
the word for which Roosevelt is at
tackled by Otis. Observe, now. what
Otis says of Roosevelt's 'if."
Otis Unworthy
He denounces it editorially as "a
distinct aid to the Williams who dyna-
mited the Times building"! his con-
ception Of fair trial of men accused
of capital crime marks the utter un-
worthiness of Otis as a citizen. He
has been held up by other men 10
the contempt Of fair men, but never
60 decisively as by himself in that
quotation.
The Real Issue.
AS one of the two great issues in
the charge of crime against those in
dicted labor union men is whether
or not the explosion was by dyna-
mite, and as this issue is yet to be
decided by a jury of Los Angeles up
on the testimony of witnesses sworn
and subject to cross examination, the
objection Otis makes to regarding the
question as an open one, places him
in the lynching class. He does not
know, apparently, what law and order
means. IF the explosion was not an
accident" says Roosevelt, those who
did it should be punished. Isn't that
true? But it is "a distinct aid" to
the accused, says Otis. Why? Be-
cause it lends the weight of Roose-
velt's Influence to the unfounded
proposition that the Times might not
have been dynamited at all but was
possibly blown up by gas" Pray
what would have been the direction
of Roosevelt's influence if he had left
out the. 'if"?

WILLIAM E. WAGNER FOR
REELECTION TO B. OF E

It is about time that the people of
Duluth were considering the question
of available candidates for election
to the board of education.
The Labor World has no personal
axes to grind in the matter of whom
shall be elected, further than a de-
sire of giving merited recognition to
a thoroughly capable and efficient
member, whose term of office expires
this year.
We do not know that he is can
didate for reelection, but we do
know that he has discharged every
duty pertaining to his position as a
member in manner very creditable
to himself and beneficial to the school
district.
The man to whom we refer is
William E. Magner of 1924 London
road. We hope he will consent to
giving us an opportunity of support
ing him again. The sacrifice is all
his for the position carries no COM
pensation; NEITHER has. the position
any political significance. What it
needs is a brainy man of good bust
ness judgment and experience, quail
ties that are admirably blended in
Mr.. Magner.
Since writing the above we learn
that numbers Of aspirants for seats
on the board of education have ap-
peared above the horizon, and; up
on a due consideration of their re-
spective fitness for the position we
still adhere to the opinion that Mr.,
Magner ought to be reelected.

Gompers, Morrison and Mitchell
Summoned to Answer Con-
tempt Case, July II.
Evidently Judge Wright Is De-
termined to Have His Re-
venge on Labor.

WASHINGTON, June 29.--(special
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES T. Wright,
of the district supreme court, to-
day issued a ruling against Samuel
Gompers, Frank Morrison and Jhon
Mitchell, the labor leaders, requ1r-
Ing them to show cause on July II
why they should not be judged guilty
Of contempt of court. This action
followed the filing of the report of
the special committee of attorneys ap-
pointed by Justice Wright to inquire
into the matter of contempt proceed
iags in the Bucks, Stove and Range
boycott case.
Mr.. Gompers is president, Mr.. Nor
rison, secretary, and. Mr.. Mitchell a
vtce-president Of the American Fed
Grafton Of Labor. The contempt pro-
ceedings against the labor leaders re-
Gently were passed upon by the
United States supreme court which
set aside Jail sentences heretofore i'm
posed by Justice Wright. The SUI
preme court held that the contempt
on which Justice Wright formerly
passed was Of a civil nature and
against the Bucks Stove & Range
company.
In dismissing the former proceed
ing. however, the supreme court gave
to the district court a right to re-
open the case In the event that any
contempt of the court itself should
he found.
1nasmuch as the stove company
and the American Federation of La
Dor had adjusted their differences, 1t
was not supposed that the matter
would be pursued. But the day fol-
lowing the decision Justice Wright
ordered an investigation with a view
to further contempt. action against
the labor men. He appointed a COM
mittee Of three lawyers to inquire in
to all of the circumstances of the case
and to determine whether or not
there had been a contempt Of the
court itself.
This committee consisted of J. J.
Darlington, Daniel Davenport and
James M. Beck. Samuel Gompers,
in statement, at once questioned the
fairness Of an inquiry by these gen.
tlemen inasmuch as they all had been
associated as counsel for the stove
company against the federation.
