VIRGINIA MUSICIANS
ORGANIZE A UNION

Musicians of the Mesaba range are
falling into line.
They met at Virginia this week and
organized a permanent union, to be
known as the Virginia local, No. 42s.
The new local has received it's chart
er from the National Federation Of
Musicians.
Organizer John D. Chubbuck Of the
State Federation Of Labor, while on
the range did much good work which
finally led to the organization of other
unions and the musicians seem to have
caught the idea.
Union musicians on the range will
have an opportunity to affiliate with
the Virginia local as charter members
until Dec. Is. The officers elected
are: John Willing, Virginia, presi-
dent; Cash U. Jenkins, Eveleth, vice
president; H. w. Peterson, Virginia,
secretary: Matt Maret, Virginia, treas
urer.
Bylaws are being prepared by a
committee, which will be submitted
at a later meeting.

He says that being present served
as a great education to him.
Mr.. Cole was the author of several
important resolutions among them be-

delegates give one days pay toward
the Mcnamara Defense fund. The
resolution was adopted unanimously.
Mr.. Cole took an active part in the
meetings and broadened his acquaint-

that the convention was the most sue

WINNIPEG, Man., NOV. 30.-The
Great West saddlery company Of this
city has locked out that portion Of
an individual agreement to the eff
feet that they would forever remain
outside the pale of union labor.
!. The Ministerial Association of Win
nipeg became interested in the af-
fair and made an investigation, and
as q result placed itself - squarely
against the attitude assumed by the
employers. *
. The Ministerial association which
represents the great majority Of
Protestant ministers in this city, de-
clare: THAT personal liberty condi-
toned by consideration for the gen.
eral good is the sacred right of every
man, be he employer or employee, and
by both alike this right must be
acknowledged and maintained.
Hence, it is the right of working
men to unite in labor organizations,
which. it is to be noted, are author
lied by law and recognized in the
statutes of the Dominion, notably in
the terms and procedure of the
Lem1eux act; as it is also the right
Of the employer to engage upon fair
conditions such men as he may
choose without hindrance.
THE demand of the Great West
Saddlery company, which if general
ly enforced, would wipe out all Ia
Dor organizations, traverses the sa-
cred right of personal liberty,

an electric lighting plant carries no
storage and has no reserve. We have
nothing upon which we can fall back -
Mr.. Burgess at this point read 8
number of extracts showing the rate:
charged for lighting in several citiei
which own municipal plants. In all
cases they were lower than is charged
in Duluth, but Mr.. Burgess pointed out
that the minimum charge made in all
instances put the heavy rates upon the
small consumers.

Mr.. Mcknight was given ten min

very much in evidence, declared for
municipal ownership as step in the

only be successful when administered
by a labor class government. They
took advantage of the occasion to ex-

Resents Attack Made On Him BY
Delegate from Western Fed
GRAFTON 81 Miners. ( d.
Grand Old Man Accused Of Being
a Traitor Then Came the !:
Fire Works.

A cruel and unwarranted attack
was made on Samuel Gompers, presi-
dent Of the American. Federation of
Labor at the recent Atlanta conven-
ton by. Joseph Cannon of the West
ern Federation of Miners. The at
tack was based on newspape reports
and Mr.. Gompers' assailant did not
even have the paper to prove his
charge. 80" "-
Mr.. Gompers resented the attack,
and how he did 1t lis best told by the
Atlanta Georgian in the following
languages: i aE r
I'm his reply to the attack of
Joseph Cannon, of the Western Fed
GRAFTON of Miners, Monday. on, the
floor of the convention, President
,Gompers displayed every emotion of
the human mind, 5and no actor of
worldwide fame ever displayed in so
rapid order the varying feelings which
swayed him.
LAS he defended his action and re-
piled to the attack which by indirec-
tons accused him of being traitor
to the people he has led for 81 years,
he first showed that his feelings had
been hurt because Mr.. Cannon had
not first asked him if it were true,
and had brought the matter before
the convention without even a copy of
the news dispatch which Gompers had
been accused of fathering.' From this
he rapidly went to Indignation, and
his voice penetrated the very ends of
the big hall. .,s -.
"Suddenly he changed to a tone of
pleading and his eyes almost swan
In tears, as tho it wounded him to
the very core that his lifetime of SER
vice should be called into question by
fellow unionist. And then as he
told his hearers that he had defended
the initiative and referendum, doubt
less before Mr.. Cannon became q
union member, the irony and sar-
casm cut like "a knife, and his lips
fiery.
And then as he told of the state.
ments telegraphed to the world, and
which he branded. as lying, his tone
rose to one of intense anger, and as
he closed, his face and gesture noted
disdain chragin and adherence in
rapid succession; and he took his seal
with look the nearest to satisfaction
that had been depicted by him dur
ing his words.
"A short while later, James Duncan
took the floor and defended the policy
of the fedora ton in electing its Off.
GERS %on the floor: of the convention
and began by saying:
III the Socialists will quit playing
martyrs in the sessions of this conven-
ton, nobody would hear of their par
ticular political creed here. Whenever
a measure comes:Aup to which they
have previously stamped their approx
al, and conditions do not seem to make
its adoption practicable, they at once
claim that it is opposed because it il
a Socialist doctrine, and enact the role
of martyrs" ..e.:,,

period he said the city had done

Methods of Financing.
'"This matter Of comparative financ-
ing" declared the speaker, fought to
be sufficient to settle the question in
the mind of any patriotic citizen. In
view of this fact can we not furnish
electricity a little cheaper? Is it not
more preferable for the city to issue
bonds than it is for the Duluth Ed
ison company to do it for u.s." ~
Mr.. Mcknight then paid his re-
spects to the subterfuge arguments
made against municipal ownership by
some men who had their water turned
off because they did not pay their
bills. >-:> 80

impossible for the council to properly,

charter, as 1t was for the court in the
final analysis to say whether or not

closed by making a plea to organized
labor to stand by its principles in this
fight for public ownership.
Mr.. Burgess followed Mr.. Mcknight
In Commute talk. He spoke at
length on the bonded indebtedness Of
Duluth. He referred to the proposed
charter amendment permitting IS the
payment of street assessments III In

necessary for the city to issue add
tional bonds to support this plan.
III Life Of Steel Pipe. .
Mr.. Burgess held that the present
steel pipe running from lakewood to

would soon rust and corrode, and II
would be. necessary for the city to is.
