SUPERIOR PUTS ONE
OVER CAR COMP ANY
Manager Warren Will Not Build
to Steel Plant and New Com
pany Is Organized.

The Duluth Street Railway COM
pany does not seem to be .any: more
favorably disposed to building extern
sions in Superior than it is in Du-
luth. In our sister city the people
requested the street railway company
to build a new line to the new steel
plant on the st. Louis river. The
company refused to build a line. It
enjoys no exclusive franchise in that
city. 't'
Now what is happening?
The Superior Steel Plant Traction
company, capitalized for 100000,
was incorporated at the office of the
secretary of state at Madison today
by Joseph J. Writ, w. G. Hurst and
Robert Stewart.
The promoters of the new company
are disinclined to say anything rela.
tive to their plans but it Is under
stood that large amount of the CAPT
tai stock of the company has already
been subscribed for by local bust
ness men.
The purpose Of the company is to
build new street car line east on
Central avenue and the new stee
plant road to the steel plant on the
st. Louis river. The incorporation OF
the new company is the result of the
refusal of the Duluth-Superior Trac.
ton company to build the line to the
steel plant as requested by local peo-
pie.

WORK PR|S0NLAb0R
10 HOURS PER DAY
Binding Irvine Plant at Still
water Run Long Hours to
Supply Farmers.

The binding Irvine plant at the
saltwater prison is now running,
according to the St. Paul papers, 10
hours day to enable it to turn out
sufficient Irvine to take care Of the
bountiful crop anticipated in the
northwest by the coming harvest.
Thirteen hours a day is too long
for any man to work in confinement.
With all due respect to the prison
officials of Minnesota, who lead in
progressive prison work. throughout
the nation, let it be said that the
labor situation at Saltwater is de-
plorable for the one reason that it
considers only the commercial fea-
ture Of the binding Irvine industry
without making due consideration for
the welfare of the convicts.
There can be- no justice in a.
proposition started by the state to
break the power of a harvester trust
simply to give the farmers cheap
binding twine, when, by So doing, the
state compels it's inmates of state
prisons to labor under working con-
ditions it holds unlawful for free
laborers.
If the s-hour day is good enough
for the laborer who builds the pris-
on, it ought to be good enough for
the man who works in the prison
after it has been built When the
days labor is over the time Of the
| prisoner can be we'll occupied by
| reading and study. To work men
! 13 hours a day in close confinement
in Minnesota prison is crime and
the practice ought to be stopped
now. and If not, the legislature
should be urged to pass a bill linn.

mates Of all state institutions to the
normal and healthful workday 81
eight hours. With it's cheap labor,
| if the state cannot compete in in.
| dustry with private institutions or
an eight-hour day, it ought to gel
out of the business and get into
something that will be more profit
able to all the people, including thu
inmates. -:

W0RK|NGMEN WANT
HOME SHOWER BATHS
Street Car Company Completes
Waiting Room Equipped with
Modern Appliances.

Well, with much footing Of horns,
Manager Warren has announced that
the new waiting rooms for the motor
men and conductors are thrown open
to the men. They are said to be the
finest of their kind in the northwest
On the main floor is a lounging
room, fitted up with two pool tables,
a lunch counter, several chairs of the
style used in the dairy lunch rooms
about the city and number of
leather upholstered reclining chairs.
The room on the second floor is
fitted up with three long reading
tables and will have installed in it
large library in which the current
papers and magazines will be placed.
Interesting volumes of fiction and
travel will also be placed on it's
shelves. On the west side of the
room a part has been partitioned off
for six small-sized rooms where the
men will be allowed to sleep while
waiting for their runs.
OF of the room on the main floor
to the east is being installed six
shower baths. This, it is expected,
will not be completed until the latter
part of next week.
It seems that the company is will
ing to do anything for the men but to
permit them to organize to help
themselves. After they shall have ex-
perimented on their welfare ideas
they will find that these do not satisfy
workingmen. The shower bath in a
street car barn may be very nice, but
how much better would it be If street
railway employees were given a living
wage. to enable them to put bath
rooms in their homes?
So far as The Labor World is con-
cerned, we shall not be content with
any proposition that: does not take
into consideration the home con-
ditions of the street railway employees
and their families. -

MIL WAuKEE MAN

Fine Boost for Fred Wilson to In

Contract.

At the last meeting of the city
council the city engineer recon-
mended the appointment Of Fred W.
Wilson as an inspector for West
Fourth street. Alderman Phillips
supported the appointment.
After the council meeting The
Labor World addressed a letter to
Frank Weber, business agent of the
Federated Trades Council in Milwau-

answer to The Labor World indicates
that Mr.. Wilson is first-class in
spector and the city will do we'll to
engage his services. The letter reads
as follows:

CUSSON SETS RIGHT
ON LABOR SITUATION
Manager Of Big Lumber Company
Don't Like Way Labor Is
Exploited.

S. j. Cusson, general manager Of
the Virginia & Rainy Lake Lumber
company, seems to have a good sup
his veins. He has given out several
interviews in. Duluth newspapers
relative to labor conditions and the
general labor situation, and in each
instance, he seems to have sized up
the situation in fair and impair
tial manner.
To read the daily papers lately one
would think that the labor market
was completely depleted. Accord
ing to news articles every idle man
who wants to can find a job, but
nothing is said about the wages to
be paid.
Mr.. Cusson believes that there is
sufficient labor supply in this ter
ritory and that the present agitation
OF employment agents cannot result
other than in doing injury to the
permanent labor market. This is
what he says:
Nobody has ever heard Of a crop
going to waste for the want of men
to take care Of it, and we will not
this year. There are men who make
1t part Of their annual routine to
work in harvest and when word goes
out that it is going to be big crop
there are always enough men to
take care Of the extra work. Every
body wants to see every kernel of
| the crop saved, but there is no need
Of the crop saved, but there is no
need Of urging all the workingmen
| In the country to 90 ont inst IN
keep wages in harvest within bounds
Men that have permanent employ
ment at good wages should not think
Of going to the harvest unless they
want change Of employment, FOR
| they will not better themselves fl
: nancially.
| "Woodsmen who have tried it
have told me, scores Of them, that
they will never quit a good job in
the woods again to work in harvest
They lose considerable time, have tt
! pay board when they are not en-
ployed. and the railroad fare out an6
back is no small item for a work.
fngman. I want to see the farmers
have all the men they need, but the
| present agitation is calculated to in.
duce a surplus Of men to seek the
harvest fields, to the great detriment
of other lines Of industry. The
farmers are surer of getting men in
harvest than anybody else at that
time Of the year. There is some at.
traction about the work that induces
men to go long distances to get it
but a majority of them are not muc]
ahead after they arrive back home.

RAILWAYS DIE HARD:
FIGHT LABOR UNIONS
Railway Clerks Complain That
Members of Union Are
Disseminated Against

NORFOLK, Va, Aug. 1.-The off,
Gals of the Brotherhood of Railway
Clerks have entered a vigorous pro-
test. with the interstate commerce
commissin against the Atlantic
Coast Line railroad for dismissing
from it's service such clerks who have
joined the Brotherhood Of Railway
Clerks. Other clerks have been
threatened with the penalty Of dis
missal, if they join the Clerks union.
The railroads die hard. They con-
test every inch of the way, and fight
every trade when organization COM
mences. It was so with the men in
the operating and mechanical depart
ments.
The clerks have waited a long time
to follow the example of their asso.
ciates in railroad service, but un.
doubtedly they, too, will become sue.

MORGAN TO ESCAPE
GIVING TESTIMONY
BEFORE COMMITTEE
Stanley Steel Investigators
Not to Wait for Master
Financier.

After a lengthy executive session the
Stanley steel investigation committee
decided today to close its hearings
without the testimony of J. Pierpont
Morgan, who now is in Europe. Mr..
Morgan has been abroad for several
months, and the committee determined
that It would be inconvenient to play a
waiting game In order to finally obtain
the story of the master flnancier.
Upon the insistence of Congressman
Young of Michigan, the Democratic
members Of the steC committee rather
reluctantly agreed to hold open the
hearing until four ore experts wanted
by Mr.. Young, can be heard. These
experts are James Gayley, n director
OF the United States Steel Corporation
Thomas +. Cole of Florida, and Joseph
Selwood and Dan IL. Bacon, of Duluth
MINI. $4,000.
The resolution adopted by the Stanley
committee declares that the steel hear
ing shall close after these four witnesses
are given opportunity to appear.
The resolution does not contain any
reference to j. Pierpont Morgan. who
is alleged to be the financial genius oil
the steel trust. and the man who per-
fectCd its organization.
