Christmas Pots to Be Placed in
Down Town Districts Should
Be Kept Boiling.
Army Does Great Good Reaches
People That Need Help Small
49, Coin Does the Work.

The local Salvation army will place
their Christmas pots on the street
corners today.
1t is the same policy that has been
In vogue for many years past. In
all six pots will be placed in the down
town districts. They will be located
in the midst of the shopping districts.
- Keep the Pot Boiling is the slog-
an of the army folks at Christmas
time. With the bells used to attract
attention, their peculiar dress and the
pots, the work of the Salvation army
is always one Of the features of Christ
mas holidays. -.'.
Last year more than $500 was
raised through the medium of the
pots. Outside subscriptions amounted
to much more and the result was that
many families--300 in all-were made
happy with Christmas dinners.
Only these who have paid especial
attention to the work of the army
people can fully appreciate the good
it does and the strain under which
it's soldiers work. They make them
selves beggars, literally, for others.
They work early and late with oft
times but few hours sleep between
times.
Near Christmas time when filing
the baskets and collecting money,
they some times work for days with
little or no rest. Always on the alert
to extend help in what every way pos
sible, the Salvation army is doing a
great work. It deserves all the help
and praise that can be given.
One splendid feature of their
Christmas work is the Christmas tree
usually held on Christmas eve for
poor children. At this time they dis
tribute. candies and cheap toys that
bring joy to the hearts of the little
unfortunate children and make them
more fully appreciate the true mean
ing of Christmas and more of what it
means in the lives Of more fortunate;
children.
The cause is worthy one and a
quarter, s. dime, nickel or even a.
penny dropped into one of the pots
is sure to help some one.

erly contributed by the women at the
regular meetings and their social
evenings planned largely for the men,
is missed.
A number of the women instru-
mental in forming the bodies under
George B. Howley, former president
of the State Federation of Labor,
have moved away from the city.
There are many new corners, how
ever, with lots Of enthusiasm for the
project. There are many still living
in Duluth who took active parts in
the organizations and soon a careful
canvass will be made among them
for the purpose of securing their
membership and support.
Now more than ever is there need
of strong women's organization in
the city. 1t is to be regretted that
one strong, central organization was
not formed and kept thoroughly alive
up to this time. This seemed hardly
possible at the time, however.
Both leagues did good work and it
is hoped by many that the women
will get together and form a strong
central organization.

"SH0P EARLY SLOGAN

Stores Will Keep Open Fewer
Nights This Year Than They

''ShOp early!"

Shop early!
If you are thinking of others as
we'll as your intimate friends and rela-
tives, you will do your shopping early
and help tc make Christmas time a.
more happy period for those who
work in the department stores.
The shcp-girls cannot have the
"peace on earth and good will toward
all feeling when they are, many Of
them, made i'll as the result of ever
work and long hours.
No one appreciates early shopping
as they do. If the shopping were
done early, it would be unnecessary
to keep the stores open until late at
night for many nights before Christ
mas. ''.
Duluth women have more than
ever this year taken up the matter
of early shopping and it is stated
that the stores will be forced to be
open but a very few nights before
Christmas
Each year the "open evenings
sign becomes less conspicuous. Each
year the number Of "open evenings"
become less in number. This is the
direct result of the work of the wo-
men all over the country.
Some years ago they took the mat
ter up and while the progress was
slow at first, the sentiment for early
shopping has now become very strong
and the time will soon come when
the stores will be open in the day
time only or perhaps one evening,
Christmas eve.
In Duluth the progress of the move-
ment has done much to do away with
the old custom and make life easier
and happier for the shop girls. =

real Christmas spirit. 3.

An attempt is about to be made to

Unfortunately, in the beginning,
which was about four years ago,
there was split after the first or

whole matter was that two independ-

Both did good work for a time. but
both were weakened considerably as
the result of the split in the ranks.
OF late the meetings have become
less and less frequent until at the
present time the gatherings are far
between and the good work inspired
by the enthusiasm of the women, is
sadly lacking.
This does not mean that there is
no interest in union affairs at the

men or women. but it does not mean

The Sterling-A Alliance company, a
firm having the contracts to work the
prisoners in the penitentiaries of no
less than 13 states, has been put in
the lime light by the National Free
Labor association for the methods it
employs in speeding up convicts at
their work, promising such things as
a plug of tobacco each day for in

This firm also owns free factories,
and it is difficult when purchasing to

he had heard Of the receipt of such a
letter, and that it's contents had been
printed in a. local weekly paper with
out the mention of the firms name.
Mr.. Neff very emphatically declared
that neither he nor the eastern repre-
sentative of his firm knew that the
shipment of goods referred to were
made by prison labor. He further de-
clared that had they been acquainted
with the facts at the proper time
they would have cancelled the order.

CARPENTERS NOTES


Alex. Kennedy, the newly elected
president of the Carpenters union, is
an old and honored resident of Du-
iuth. He has served the city as an
alderman from the Sixth ward and as
a member of the board of public works
under Mayor Hugo.
G. w. Burgher. the retiring presi-
dent, has been in the harness for
many years. He declined re-elec-
ton. Mr.. Burgher feels that he has
given so much active time to the union
that it is time for him to- take a rest.
He has made a good president. and o
doubt could have been chosen again
if he had but said the word.
Peter Marandaw who was elected
vice president of his union last: Tues
day evening, is one of the hard work
ers in the local labor movement: In
addition to being president of the
trades assembly he is kept busy as the
official of the building trades council.
But Peter will not complain. He is
Irish, and will stand a good deal of
wear.
Severt Johnson and J. c.. johnson
we're each handed fine compliments
by the union. Both were reelected to
their respective offices without oppo-
sition, and they are both good men,
too. :
Halvor Lykstad is the retiring
treasurer of the union. He has been
one of the truly faithful officers of one
OF the best organizations on earth, and
that is saying a good deal, for there
are many good men, and several good
organizations.
Bill Pearson, the warden of the
Carpenters union, is just the right size
physically for his job, and mentally
he is capable of filling any office with
in the gift of the union. Bill is grow
ing, and we expect to hear more of
him in the near future.
Charles McKinnOn has returned
from Grand Marais where )e has
been at work during the season on the
Cook county court house.:
Duncan Mcdonald who has had
charge of the construction of the Cook
county court house, is an active men,
Der of the union. He is still at Grand
Marais, and will remain there for
some time yet.

council for the next six months.
