|. R. R, IS ENDORSED
BY TRADES ASSEMBLY
Local Labor Men Lose No Time in
Getting Behind Proposed
Charter Amendment.

The local labor organizations are
losing no time in getting on the job
in behalf of the initiative, referen-
dunn and recall. For more than rs
years organized labor has been COM
mitted to the principle of direct Leg
1slation. It has advocated it in and
out Of season, and ut a time when
no one accepted the principle out
side of the ranks of the labor move
ment.
Now that the principle has become
popularized organized labor proposes
TO conduct vigorous campaign for
the triumph of the initiative, the
referendum and the recall in this
city. The trades assembly at it's last
meeting passed stirring resolutions
indorsing the proposition.
The following are the resolutions
passed by the assembly:
"Whereas the principle of Direct
Legislation through the Initiative and
and Referendum and the Recall has
been the cardinal political demand of
the trades union movement for moro
than a quarter Of century, and,
Whereas the political platforms
and declarations Of principles In all
of the international trades unions,
state declarations of labor and trades
and labor assemblies contain de-
mands for the adoption by national,
state and city governments Of the
Initiative. Referendum and Recall,
and,
whereas, the declaration Of prn-
ciples of the Minnesota State FEEDER
alton of Labor and the Federated
Trades Assembly of Duluth contain
specifically demands for the Initia-
tive, Referendum and Recall, and
Whereas, there is about to be held
in the City of Duluth a special cleo
ton for the purpose of voting on a

| charter, which if carried will give to
the people the Initiative 5hd Veto
power of all matters acted upon by
the peoples representatives in the
City Council, and to recall such pub
| lie officials who may by their actions
| prove recreant in the performance of
their public duties, and
Whereas, the proposed amendment
! to the city charter was introduced
| by an initiative petition signed by
! more than ten per cent of the voters
and upon which appeared the names
of a large number of members OF
organized labor, therefore be it
| Resolved, by the Federated
Trades Assembly of Duluth, repre-
senting the sentiments and hopes OF

GAG RULE MODIFIED
BY PRESIDENT TAFT
Former Roosevelt Ruling Barring
P. o. Employees From Petition
ing Congress Suspended.

WASHINGTON, April 1S.-Presi-
dent Taft has issued an executive
order which changes in some mater
previously been in effect in reference
to the activity of civil service en-
ployes.
While the order does not entirely
relieve the situation. it is indicative
that a change of attitude has taken
place. This change no doubt has
been occasioned by the attitude as
sumed by the postoffice committee in
the house, recommending an aboli-
ton of the gag rule order, which pro-
hibits the civil service employees from
reaching congressman by petition.
The recent order is as follows: 1T
is hereby ordered that petitions or
other communications egading pub
or either house or any committee or
member thereof by officers or en-
ployes in the civil service of the
United States shall be transmitted
through the heads of their respective
departments or offices, who shall
forward them without delay with
such comment as they may deem re-
quisite in the public interest,"
Officers and employees are strictly
prohibited, either directly or Indirect
ly, from attempting to secure legis-
lation or to influence pending legis-
lation, except in the manner above
prescribed.
'This order supersedes the execu-
tive orders Of January 81, 1902. jan
uary 25. 1906, and November 26,
1909, regarding the same general

GRANDMOTHER
USED SAGE TEA
To Darker the Hair and Restore
Gray and Faded Hair to Its
Natural Color z.

1t is easier to preserve the color
OF the hair than to restore it, al
though it is possible to do both. Our
grandmothers understood the secret
They made a sage tea," and their
dark, glossy hair long after middle
life was due to this fact. Our moth
ers have gray hairs before they are
fifty, but they are beginning to ap-
preciate the wisdom of our grand
mothers in using '*sage tea" for their
hair and are fast following suit.
The present generation has the ad-
vantage of the past in that it can
get a ready-to-use preparation call
ed Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Hair
Remedy. AS scalp tonic and color
restorer this PREPARATION is vastly SUI
perior TO the ordinary sage tea
made by our grandmothers. 5 r.
The growth and beauty of the hair
depends on healthy condition of
the scalp. Weyth's Sage and Sulphur
Hair Remedy quickly kills tho dand-
ruff germs which rob the hair of It's
life, color and lustre, makes the scalp
clean and healthy, gives the hair
strength, color and beauty, and
makes it-grow. "

druggist today. He will give you1
money back if you are not satisfied
after a fair trial.
