1t makes Duluth people mad

DULUTH, Minn., Sept. 23.--
There are two ways to break q
street railway strike. One way
is to fill the cars with policemen,
deputy sheriffs and strikebreak-
ers, and keep the hands of indig-
nant citizens tied by state militia.
That's the Duluth way.
Another way Is the Superior or
Mayor .'Silver Joe" KOnkel way.
The Duluth way smashes the
conductors and motormen's
union, cracks the heads of SYM
pathizing bystanders and when
everything is quiet, turns the
street car system back to the
owners of the perpetual fran
chise.
In both of the twin ports, -
Duluth, Mimi, and Superior,
Wis.,, big street railway strikes
are on. The men at Duluth walk
ed out first. Strikebreakers were
employed by the Twin Ports
Street Railway Co. and trouble
started. The mems union made
every member pledge himself not
to attack company property, but
sympathizers stoned cars and
pulled non-union men from plat
forms.
General Manager Herbert War
rem called for protection. Sheriff
Meining swore in bunch OF
deputies, and Mayor McCuer
handed over most of the city's
policemen. Gov. Eberhart will
send along Minnesota's soldiers Il
the police and deputies and pri
vate guards can't settle the mat
ter.

Politicians are dividing their
discussion now between the ques-
tions of Judge Blacks eligibility
as a candidate for governor and
the method of filling the vacancy
on the supreme court ticket left
by the death of Judge Dunbar.
Nothing but q test suit can set
tie the Black discussion and un-
less this is resorted to IL is likely
the democratic candidate will
lose thousands Of votes because of
the uncertainty.
Judge Clifford says the Dunbar
vacancy must be filed by another
primary which will have to be
called by Governor Hay for the
whole state. Unless this Is done
no way seems to be provided for
filing the vacancy and 1t would
be up to the governor to appoint
after the election.

The question of the Pierce
county judiciary is just as mud
died as ever. There is no way
to get at the facts without count
ing all the ballots over again and
this cannot be done without some
candidate makes a contest. The
trouble is the authorities cannot
determine what is the total
vote" Does it include ballots
thrown out or not? 1t may make
difference of at least two sue
cessful candidates. No one can
start a contest until the officials
declare the result and the officials
hesitate to declare the result be-
cause they admittedly say they
do not know what it should be.

club will hold a referendum on
the primary law and probably
start a movement for its repeal
