THE STEEL DEMON.
BY Hugh MCGEE.

The goth century has introduced
new factor into human society, a.
new power, a new producer, a new
maker and builder which has changed
conditions throughout the entire
world. It is not human, it is not
living thing, it does not eat or drink
or sleep, it only works, it is made of
steel and iron and it will live forever.
This new thing has for nearly 100
years been taking the ''jobs'' of men
and women and doing the work that
they are doing, and tomorrow newer
machines will throw more men and
women out of '.jobs" and into a state
of starvation. :. 49,: p = S-@@~
The use of machines and machinery
has nearly done away with the need
of human labor. So true is this, that
for man to be unable to find any
work to do, does not seem strange to
anyone.
The working men and women, to-
day, are in reality worse off than the
peasants and slaves, of Europe ever
were, for the reason that before the
coming of machines and machinery,
the kings, queens and Morgans of
those days needed them to do all the
work, and so they did not permit the
workers to die of sickness and star
Walton, if it were possible to save
them.
But since machines and machinery
do so much of the work today, it does
not matter what happens to the 10th
century wage slaves. r
Today the men and women who
have been displaced by the perfect
machines and complex machinery are
becoming tramps or criminals, and
the women are turning to prostitution
for food and shelter.
When a. Goth century wage slave is
fired" he begins at once to starve,
and while he looks for a new master,
the bloodhounds of the master class
are continually at his heels ready to

DOING TT TO DULUTH,

Here we are back to our old friend
the Duluth Commercial club.
Perhaps because it has been SO
busy with agricultural exhibits and
land shows, and the raising of 100000
for the industrial bureau, and settling
up the country around Duluth and the
many other important duties of a.
commercial club, it has overlooked
the matter of Duluth made cigars at
their counter. ,r!...
There are 20 cigar factories and at
least so brands of smokes made in
Duluth. They range from the two
fors' up, and some Of them create
mighty peaceful state of mind.
It would not be amiss, therefore, for
the Commercial club members to cul-
tivate the Duluth habit. When there
is a banquet, why not pass Duluth
made cigars?
Out of the fifty or more brands car
ried at the Commercial club cigar
stand, but four brands are made in
Duluth. Perhaps the matter has
been simply overlooked in the rush
of other business.
Goodness! Do you smoke only
Duluth-made CIGARS" asked the dainty
one at the counter of the Commercial
club when approached for home
made smoke by a. representative Of
the Labor world.
A diligent search revealed four
brands Of cigars made in the Zenith
City.
If the matter has been simply an
oversight it can be easily remedied.
Each one of the % home proprietors
would hop over themselves to insta II

management and when these enter the success Of
public ownership is in danger,
In Duluth, however, free from such
pit falls. Politics cannot enter into the manage
ment of public utilities for many reasons and
particularly for the reason that the people would
not permit it. Dishonesty is not to be feared be-
cause of the high character of the men chosen as
commissioners.
From the moment that Duluth enters into the
management and operation Of its electric lighting
plant it will be successful, for as if by magic will
disappear excessive interest charges, dividends on
stock of every kind and high salaries to officers.
SUPPORT THE ASSOCIATED CHARITIES.
1t is just beginning to dawn upon the people Of
Duluth that the Associated Charities is an institu-
ton deserving of the support of every person in
the city who wants to relief economically sup
piled to the deserving poor, and who believes that
the undeserving should be weeded out.
This is really the chief function Of the Associated
Charities It is clearing house for charity.
The repeater who imposes on the generosity OF
sympathetic people, and who makes begging voca-
ton, is exposed and rooted out while the needy
and deserving are given relief and" in a manner
that does not humiliate the recipient.
The work Of the Associated Charities is growing !;
it is moving by leaps and bounds, and it is now
found that financial contributions from the people
entirely too inadequate to permit the association
to do the work expected Of it.
The smallest contribution will be appreciated.
No donation can be made to a more worthy institu-
ton. Trade unions are particularly urged to help.
A or $40 appropriation from every Duluth union
would do much to relieve many hungry working
men.
Come now, let us show that there is good, red
blood flowing through our veins.

SUCCESS OF PUBLIC OWNERSHIP

There will be little said about the public owner
ship Of an electric lighting plant until after the
holidays unless unwarranted criticism is again made
of the Water and Light Department..
Indeed the opposition to public ownership seems
to have backed away from it's assaults upon the
management of the city gas and water plant
They have found that the majority of the people
believe in the integrity Of such men as T. r. Hudson
J. B. Erd~ u. B. Manley H. H. Ihhelps and George
Spencer, and they do not propose to countenance
Sue kind Of criticism that has been recklessy made
against the patriotic service these gentlemen are
magnanimously rendering to the city.
fhe municipal ownership Of the gas and water
plant in Duluth has been success in spite Of any
and all claims that have been made to the contrary
If the public ownership Of electric lighting
plants in Of the American cities has not given
general satisfaction there are reasons for it
Either politics or dishonesty has crept into their

We beg leave to call the attention Of our readers
this week to the general appearance of the Labor
World. 1t contains abundance Of clear, forcible
and consistent articles, setting forth the true at
titude of the men Of labor towards the McNamara
crimes.
The local news is particularly strong, and articles
Of general interest are printed that have not. ap
peared in any of the local dailies. The editorial
features the result Of much thought and labor
They ring true to the sentiments of the editor and
sufficiently varied in subject matter to warrant
close reading.
We make it a point to print nothing in the Labor
World that will cause it to be read with hesiancy
in any home. The woman's department contains
the choicest selections of household hints and
cipes for cooking, that when used mean the saving
of money in the homes.

ARRAY1NG CLASS AGAINST CLASS.

"This is business country says the Cincinnati
Enquirer, land there ought to be majority of
business in congress. At the next election let
send them there and give business chance"
Would there not be tremendous howl and
protest from the Enquirer and other organs Of pre-
datory interests if the result of the next campaign
should hinge on demand like this:
''This is a labor country and there ought to be
majority Of laboring men in congress. Let us
send them there and give labor chance.'
Would we not be told about the wckedness of
setting class against class? Then would we not be
told in the next breath that there no classes in
this country? Would we not hear lot of rot about
how much better attention the *'true INTERESTS of
labor would receive at the hands of congress COM
posed of predatory business men, the Enquirer's
kind Of business men, than at the hands of labor
representatives?
