an address before the Trades assem-

There should be a large attendance

Mr.. Maxwell addressed meeting
of the assembly In Duluth about ten
years ago. That was when his philos-

day, and he made rafting good
speech that created much enthusiasm
among Duluth's wage earners. ~.

There Is a coterie Of very promi-

this week. and there is an air of mys-
terry about their movements. Ordi-
narily their presence would have lit
tie significance to people outside Of
railroad circles, but the fact that they
have been holding meetings with en-
ployes of the Duluth & Northern Min
nesota railway, the Alger-Smith
road, has excited the curiosity of
those who observe closely the trend
Of labor events.
None Of the railroad labor. repre-
sentatives will say a word, or give
any reason for his prolonged stay In
Duluth. Each of them is, as quiet as
sphinx, and as secretive as a num-
my. No member of the committee of
employees can be induced = to say q
word, but even the best planned Of
secrets will leak out.
According to a story. gained by
the Labor World the officials of the
Duluth Northern Minnesota railway
have arbitrarily forced a. change of
schedule on its trainmen from a
mileage basis to pay. by the hour It
Is claimed by the affected employees
that the change will result in. a re-
duction of wages of .35 per cent
The reduction went into effect on
Sept. Is and less than, asweek's. no.

Prof. Carl M. Melon, instructor in
the department of languages ,at the
University of Minnesota, and an elder
Of Presbyterian church is handling
the so-called Men and Religion For
ward Movement without gloves.
- F1naced by Wall Street. .
He insists that the movement is
financed by Wall street to placate the
working man under the existing
economic and industrial ills. That
the main object of the movement is
to hoodwink the laboring classes in
to submitting cheerfully and Christ
like to their surroundings, and offer
no protect or resistance to the thiev-
ing and grating of which they are
made the victims by Wall street and
its emissaries throughout the nation.
tsssS Hypocrisy of Movement. =
&> IT did not know" said Professor
Melon, until now that J. P. Morgan
was to be connected with it., but DR..
Williamson in the address I heard
gave the whole thing away. The
whole theme of his speech was that
the laboring man should be- content
in hts present conditions, as the big
brother of the rich was rolling and
tossing on his bed in anxiety but the
big brother was still able to raise
the slush fund to get message to
the laborer.; ;,..}:':5*s4ss4:~l#;, ':5*4ss A., -.
They are taking religion and max

call the laboring mans attention to
the fact that he can have a home In

What Labor Wants.
If the movement is intended to
promote contentment among the Ia

more to say. We are not looking for
a spiritual heaven so much as little
bit Of heaven on earth-just the share
that ought to come to u.s.

If the impression prevails that the

Without reciting his report in all

paved the way for the re-affliation
of that union with the State Fedora
