CRY FROM !. THE !: NEEDY I.
BABES NEED CLOTHES
Associated Charities Report Any
Number of Small Children
Ill Clad. ,.> 4:
Miss Meeker Urges People to
Send Clothing to the .. = +,
Courthouse, r.

Miss Edna G. Meeker, assistant sec
rotary of the Associated Charities, asks
clothing for children.
She has investigated a number OF
families reported to the society and
she finds some of them in very hard
circumstances. a.
The children need clothes. Some OF
them cannot attend school because
they have not the proper clothing to
protect them from the winter cold.
1t is tragedy, indeed, when a boy
is forced to wear for even a part OF
each day, his sisters shoes. This is
what Miss Meeker found in one in
stance.
A great quantity of children's shoes
can be used to good advantage. 1T is
hard to realize how very much some of
the children need Clothes" She says
Unless one is actually interested in
the work and unless one actually in
vestigates, he cannot imagine what
pressing need there is for clothing for
children. Underwear, otuerwear, caps
shoes, stockings. overcoats and many
ether articles are needed.
Any clothes sent to the office of the
Associated Charities at the courthouse
will be sent at once to the children OF
parents who are actually in need.

CHILD LABOR COMMITTEE
GETS DOWN TO BUSINESS

At regular meeting of the Min
nesota Child Labor committee held
at Minneapolis, committees were ap-
pointed to redraft the laws and lay
the foundation for campaign for
child labor legislation before the next
meeting of the state legislature.
This committee is composed of Mrs.
C. G. Higbee. chairman: E. T. Lies,
w. E. McEwen, Father John Ryan,
Josephine Schain and F. E. Hoffman.
In the three largest cities of the
state, Minneapolis, st. Paul and Du-
luth, committees were appointed to
secure the rigid enforcement of the
juvenile court law in each city. This
law provides that children under II
years of age be restricted from selling
any article on the streets.
The committee in each city will al
SO work for the enforcement of the
law which prohibits children under
the age of 18, from dancing in pub
lie dance halls. They will visit the
school boards in each city and de-
mand a census Of school children be
taken. This was provided for under
Il new law passed at the last session
of the legislature.
The committee for Duluth follows:
w. E. McEwen, chairman; Miss Jean
Poirier and Mrs. J. l.. Washburn.

DISCUSS COMPENSATION
AT WEST DULUTH CLUB

The editor of the Labor World has
been invited to deliver an address this
evening before the West Duluth Com
mercial club on the Necessity for
Workingmen's Compensation in Min
nesota."
He will discuss the question largely
from the practical stand point, with
which he is most familiar, and will
touch on some recent decisions
handed down by the supreme courts
of the states of Washington and Wis
consin.
He will also review the laws of sew
eral European countries on the sub
ject. and will endeavor to show that
most foreign countries are in advance
of the United States on legislation of
this character.
Mr.. McEwen believes that an edu-
cational campaign is necessary in Min
nesota before the legislature can be
induced to pass workingmen's COM
pensatiOn act in this state.

COMMITTEES DISCUSS
HOUSING ORDINANCE;

The committees from the city coun-
ell, the Associated Charities, the
building inspectors office and the
board Of health, met recently on the
matter of new housing ordinance for
Duluth.
All were agreed that such an Ordf-
nance or at least additions to the
present one are necessary.
The old one was once considered q
model of it's kind but more attention
was paid to safety than to sanitary
conditions. It has in some respects
outlived it's usefulness and now a new
law is needed.
Nothing definite was done at the
meeting held. Different view points
were exchanged and at a future meet
ing to be held soon, the ordinance will
be drawn up for the APPROVAL Of the
city council.
The heads of the city government
as we'll as the heads of the several
welfare societies are greatly inter-
ested. The ordinance will be drawn
up with care, and the proceedings will
not be rushed through, as it is plan
ned to settle the matter in a way to
be satisfactory for years to come.

COUNTY POOR Bulls
REACH LARGE FIGURES

That it took nearly $4,000 to
care for the poor Of the county OF
st. Louis during the months Of July
August and September, will be great
surprise to many who had believed
that there were fewer poor people in
this county than in any other county
of the state.
To be exact the poor of the county
cost the department Just $14.805.62
for the three months. Groceries alone
amounted to $780,.
The report covers the cost of op-
Grating the poor farm, salaries, gro
ceries and clothes for poor families,
transportation charges which means
the sending of poor people to other
points to be cared for by relatives,
friends or other countries. and the
many other trivial, in themselves, ex-
penditures called for day by day.
The county poor fund is in honest,
capable hands and no money Is spent
which can be avoided.
Some of the money is spent for doc
tors bills, medicine, and hospital fees,

Los ANGELES CRIME
THEME FOR ADDRESS
W.. E. McEwen Tells Building
Trades Council that Labor
Will Not Suffer.
Acts of McNamaras Condemned
But Labor Opposition Cannot
Escape Censure.

The newly reorganized Building
Trades council held an open meeting
last evening at Bricklayers' hall.
There was large attendance of men,
hers of trade unions from Duluth and
Superior, and good program was
rendered.
w. E. McEwen was the speaker of
the evening. He discussed some things
in the philosophy Of the trade union
movement. and then took up at
length phases of the Mcnamara
crimes, reviewing the long drawn
struggle in. southern California and
leading up to the final act which re-
suited in the sentence of the McNa-
mara brothers on Tuesday last.
The speaker scored without mercy
the crimes committed by James b.
Mcnamara and instigated by his
brother John, and characterized them
as the deeds of mad men. These
men, he held, had failed to live up
to the high ideals and ennobling prin-
pies of human brotherhood taught by
trade unionism.
lied labor" he asserted, but they
have given it's enemies a bludgeon
that will be welded unsparingly every
time an advocate Of trade unionism
discusses the ethical side of our
movement.
THAT class of employers who have
resorted to every known method to
crush organized labor can not escape
their share of the responsibility for
the Mcnamara crimes. It Is to be
hoped that out of this unfortunate af-
fair there will arise that spirit of fair
play and a square deal that will make
for industrial peace in this the great
est, and which ough+ to be, the most
prosperous and most happy nation on
EARTH"

TWIN PORTS MARINE
UNIONS TO MEET SOON

The local branch of the Licensed
Tugmen's Protective association, will
hold it's first meeting Wednesday Of
next week. The place has not as yet
been decided upon. The men usually
rent a hall each winter, as this is the
only time of the year they hold meet
ings. 81
Some time during the coming week
William Fremont, president of the
Longshoremen's union will call the
first meeting Of the present season.
The Tug Firemen's union will soon
begin it's regular winter season busi-
ness sessions. The Dredge Workers as
scciation will also soon begin to hold
it's business sessions regularly. -.
The members Of all these unions are
too husily engaged with their work
during the summer to hold meetings.
It is in the winter that they must
plan ahead and do their years work.

Organizer John Chubbuck De
plores McNa1naras' Wrongs,

Dor Does Not Stand For
Violation of Law.

John Chubbuck, organizer for the
American Federation of Labor, who
is doing some work at Crookston
was taken i'll there last week, and
was confined to his room for a few
days. He is now improving and will
soon leave Crookston for East Grand
Forks. after which he will go to Be-
midi. .-@
In a letter to the Labor World, Mr.
Chubbuck expresses himself most
strongly on the sMcNamaras' admis-
sion of guilt. He says: .''1t is an
awful blow, and terrible throw
down. Their crime against society
is but trifle worse than their crime
against labor.
''The public knows that we do not
advocate violence, and we are just as
prone to get bad people in our move
ment as the church is, or as is any
society Of men.
1--WE will hear g. lot about this
crime from now: on, principally from
labor's enemies, but we are not going
to recede an inch. We will continue
to advocate the ennob]ing principles
of our great movement, and in the
end we will win"

LABORs' FIRST CRISIS;
STEADY BOYS, STEADY

Steady fellows; steady! This is
labor's first chief crisis. How we
will come out of it depends upon the
courage and fidelity We manifest
now.
There will be other crises at other
times and we hope under more fav-
orable auspices, but at this time we
know that American labor is inno-
cent, that Samuel Gompers is inno-
cent, and that the other tried and
true leaders are innocent.
We have nothing to fear and moth
ing to be ashamed of. The McNa-
mare crimes are not ours; even If Ia
boris enemies are desperately at
tempting to fasten them upon us.
Let every true man of labor show
his mettle. A deserter now is not
worth holding.

If terms of industrial peace could

such men as Walter Drew would be
out of job. There would be moth

be unnecessary to keep on hand an
