RAILWAY CLERKS.

Kansas City, Mo.-During the first
three weeks of November the Brother
hood of Railway Clerks established new
lodges in the states of Minnesota, West
Virginia, Idaho, and Oklahoma. Reports
are coming into the national headquar-
ters of the Railway Clerks to the effect
that great activity and interest in or
ganization is being shown by the unor-
ganized railway clerks of the country
Numerous localities are requesting that
organizers from the national organiza
tion be sent for the purpose of installing
new organizations. and SO great is the
demand becoming that the national Off
GERS find it impossible to meet all the
demands made. There is greater activ
ity in this organization at the present
time than ever before in it's history.

YIELD TO EleHT-HouR LAW.

Baltimore-At recent meeting of the
shipbuilding and repair firms of this
CITY, known as the Ship and Marine En-
gine Builders association, it was de-
cided to hereafter bid for the repair
work and other government contracts
under the eight-hour law and to accept
such contracts as are awarded to them.
Ever since the passage of the law requir-
ing all government work to be done
under the eight-hour day the Baltimore
shipyards and many others throughout
the country have refused to bid on gov
ernment contracts, claiming that as nine
and ten hours for a days work was the
rule it would be unwise and difficult to
handle contracts requiring the eight
hour day The Lighthouse Bureau re-
Gently has had several contracts to be
awarded under the new law. The only
concern that bid for this work was the
Furst Concrete Lighter Construction
company, which captured the contract
for the tender Sunfower This firm was
the only bidder also for extensive re-
pairs to lightship No. so. This bid was
withdrawn and new bids have been
asked, stipulating the eight-hour day.

POST SMASHED AGAIN.

C. w. Post the purveyor of "gripe
nuts" commenced suit against the Amer
lean Federation of Labor some months
ago, alleging damages of $4,000. When
the case came to trial in the federal cir
cult court of appeals the judge threw the
case out as not having sufficient merit
to proceed with the trial Post immedi-
ately appealed the case to the federal
circuit court of appeals, and along about
last May the attorneys of the American
Federation of Labor made an argument
before the circuit court of appeals, ask
ing that the decision rendered by the
lower court in throwing the case out be
sustained by the higher court. The cir
cult court of appeals has now rendered
its decision and sustained the action of
the lower court, which, in all human
probability, ends the controversy While
it is possible that Post in his ardent
desire to mulct the Federation, may ap-
peal to the supreme court. it is not prob
able in the face of two adverse deci-
sions, that the supreme court would act
in the matter by consenting to review
the case.

THE sTELzLE INCIDENT.

Numerous publications throughout the
country recently printed story to the
effect that Charles Stelzle was to be
placed on trial by the highest tribunal
of the Presbyterian church, because of
an alleged disagreement between the
church authorities and Mr.. Stelzle, over
matters of policy. committee was ap-
pointed to examine his writings, which
consist of books and newspaper articles,
and after thorough review, the COM
mittee met and decided that according
to the laws of the Presbyterian church,
it had no jurisdiction over the economic
belief of any minister in that denomina-
ton. The charges preferred against Mr.
Stelzle were accordingly dismissed, thus
terminating the issue. About year
ago, John Kirby, Jr., president of the
National Manufacturers association, at
tempted to get Mr.. Stelzle ousted from
the position which he occupied as the
head of the Bureau of Social Service
for the Presbyterian church. Kirby wrote
a series of articles to the church and to
individuals, protesting against Mr.. Stel-
zle's activities as a sympathizer with or
ganized labor, but Mr. Kirby's long ef-
fusions were not mentioned by the re-
ligious journals. Kirby's campaign, how
ever, resulted in the resignation from
the Manufacturers' association of sew
eral of Mr.. Stelzle's friends, who would
not stand for Mr.. Kirbys interference
with a mans honest and conscientious
beliefs.

DUBUQUE BUILDING TRADES.

Dubuque. Iowa-For many months
there has been lockout in effect by the
contractors in the building trades. and
while efforts have been made to secure
an amicable settlement not much prog
ress has been made. However, the men
have stood loyal and firm, and to quite
an extent, conditions have adjusted
themselves to the benefit of the locked
out men. number OF the expert union
workmen of the building trades have
gone into the contracting business since
the lockout commenced and are grad
ually but surely securing the business
formerly done by the contractors who
are now active fighting union labor. The
result has been that the men who are
locked out have received considerable
employment from the members of the
union who went into the contracting
business, and if the contractors who are
hostile to the building trades unionists
continue in their policy it will mean
their practical elimination in time from
the contracting business in this city.

PLANS s2,s5c,ooo STORE BUILDING

Plans are being prepared by the G. w
Huntington Architect company for a
twelve-story department store which
will be erected by the Golden Eagle at
a cost of over $2,35O,0OO on one of the
principal Sixteenth street corners next
year Construction will be started by
June 1. 1913.
l.. H. Guldman, president of the
Golden Eagle Dry Goods company, has
made an offer on the court house block
of 100000, and if a satisfactory deal
can be made with the city for the prop
erty the building will be constructed
there. Two other corners with not less
than 125 feet frontage on Sixteenth
street are under option to Mr.. Guldman,
but final negotiations for their purchase
will not be made until he returns from
Europe in February.
One of the distinctive features of the
new store will be basement, show win
dows. which will be copied after similar
windows in the Wetheimer store of Ber-
lin. The windows are beneath the first
story windows and extent out into the
sidewalk from two to four feet, with a
heavy brass railing around them for pro-
lection. The windows enable the passer-
by to see into the basement and afford
better light
With the new building the line of mer-
chandise which will be handled by the
Golden Eagle will be enlarged to take
in furniture, harness, wagons and auto
mobiles, all of which will be sold strict
ly on a cash basis.

DAY LABOR CHEAPER.

London, OMIT has been demon
strated in this city that the employment
of day labor on all city work wherever
possible has affected a big saving to the
taxpayers and secured better conditions
for the men employed. A practical dem.
onstration has just been given in the
laying of water pipe. Eighteen-inch wa
ter mains have been laid at an approx
mate cost of 50 cents a foot under the
system of day labor. Heretofore the
lowest contract price for the doing of
similar work has been $1.01 per foot. 1t
is contended also that the work per-
formed by the city under the day labor
system has been much more satisfac-
tory, and the work of better character
than that done by contract, resulting
also in better paid labor.

LARGE TRoLLEYMEN's UNION.

Boston-The strike of the employees Of
the company operating the traction lines
of this city, and the subsequent agree
ment reached has had the result of es-
tablishing in this city the second largest
street car employees union in the coun-
try, there being membership of ap-
proximately 1000 at this time. Perma-
nent officers of this large organization
were elected recently, and at the install
lation, which was held in the Boston the

t.ny of the union during the coming
year The union includes in its roster
practically all the employees on all
branches of the Boston Elevated system,
including motormen, conductors, shift
men, trackmen, pitmen, and women
ticket sellers. The successful forma-
ton of this large organization has given
ar impetus to organized labor in Boston

A NEW DRUG STORE IN THE QUINCY
BLOCK.

William F. Thebus, who was recently
appointed president of the State Board
of Pharmacy by Governor Shafroth. and
George Meyers, owner of the drug stores
at Twentieth and Welton and Broadway
and Ellsworth streets, both old-time. rell-
able pharmacists. have joined forces and
opened the Owl Drug Store in the Quincy
block. corner Seventeenth and Curtis
streets, with entrances on both streets.
Their shop is one of the most handsome
ly decorated in the city. and is genuine
ornament to the neighborhood in which
an establishment OF this kind has been
wanted for a long time past. Their stock
of drugs is absolutely pure and fresh
while their magnificent soda fountain is
one of the most modern affairs of its
kind and is provided with every conceiv-
able attachment which enables them to
serve their patrons with luscious glass
of soda, hot or cold, at moments no.
tice.
Both these gentlemen are well known
to our citizens, not only for their enter
prise in their professional line, but also
for the interest displayed in the welfare
and progress of our city. Their prompt
response when called upon to lend
helping hand toward bettering the condi-
ton of the wageearner and his depend
ents in this CITY has stamped these gen.
'tlemen as loyal friends of organized Ia
hor in all their fair undertakings. The
Owl Drug Store should be patronized by
all.-Adv.

CLOSE STEEL MILLS.

Pittsburg-Nearly 100 trainmen en-
ployed at the Edgar Thompson plants
and the Carrie furnaces of the Carnegie
Steel company recently walked out for
the purpose of enforcing their demands
for higher wage scale. For the first
time in three years the work at the Ed
gar Thompson plant is practically at a
standstill and only about 400 of the 5000
night workmen are on duty. At the
Homestead plant practically all of the
men are rendered idle by the strike OF
the trainmen, owing to the lack of ma
terial with which to work. The train
men employed at the Duquesne plant of
the Carnegie Steel company. who are
also expected to strike, are still at work.

state All of the men are hard work
ers, take an interest in their work,
work for the county and not only de-
serve reelection but will cause a
dictinct loss to the county if not
elected.
In times past the Pioneer has
pointed out in it's columns the i'm
portance of having experienced men
in these positions. Tonight it wants
to call particular attention to the
Offices of the county treasurer and
superintendent of schools. A des-
perate fight is being made to un-
seat the present incumbents.

perience in the line when he went

.
James Manahan won the Republic
can nomination for congressman at
large in Minnesota squarely on his
record for progressive principles and
progressive accomplishment. Coming
from Lincoln, Nebraska, in 1905, i'm
bued with an ideal of a democracy in
which the people really rule, con-
test with the House of Hill was in
evitable, and the feeling engendered
by his .plucky fight before the Mime
sofa Railroad and Warehouse Com
mission gave a great impetus to the
Progressive movement in Minnesota.
Since then he has as private citizen
conducted tedious and laborious rate
cases before the Interstate Commerce
Commission which have saved the
people many millions. He stands for
all Progressive measures, and what
is more, he is man who when he
believes in a thing, works for it until
he gets done. We need such men in
congress.-La Follette's Magazine.

Special Announcement.

The Pioneer has completed ar
rangements whereby it is prepared to
give its subscribers and other cit
liens the most comprehensive cleo
rion service that has ever been avail
able in Bemidji.
The Tuesday afternoon edition will
carry short leads telling of the in
dications of how the presidential
election is going in the principal
states. From 6 p. m. to 10 D. m.
the Pioneer and Markham hotel will
combine in a service which will give
fifty word bulletin every half hour
telling of the drift of national, state,
congressional and Minneapolis mayor
elections.
Early Wednesday morning, the
Pioneer will have an extra on the
street which will be delivered free to
the homes of its regular subscribers.
This extra will contain the figures
of the city vote by wards and such
other matter as will come in over
the leased wire between 3 a. m. and
a. m: During the day Wednesday
up to D. m it will rocoivo addi
tional bulletins.
This service means that the editor
and part of the shop force must work
steadily from Tuesday morning until
Wednesday night. 1t also means a
generous outlay of money for the
United Press service, telephone and
telegraph tolls, and the cost of set
ting up and printing the extra. No
other small town daily in the state
is attempting to even approach such
q complete service for it's readers.
Advertisers will please notice that
all ads run Tuesday night will be re-
peated Wednesday morning without
extra charge,
Persons not subscribers should or
der the paper at once and have the
extra delivered free.
