CRUDE OIL ADVANCES
TO 50 Cents BARREL
All COMPANIES INCREASE PRICE
BY TWO CENTS; OTHER
RISES ARE EXPECTED.

Crude oil was given another boost
In Tulsa yesterday, when the Prairie
on and Gas company announced a
raise of two cents. The other com
panios at once posted similar raisc.
The price is now 90 cents per barrel
IIhis is the second raise IN the past
three weeks and as a consequence tho
producers are feeling exceptionally
good.
The recent cold weather has cur
tailed drilling operations and there
has been a decrease in the production
of oil as result. This condition,
coupled with the recent 10 cent adj
vance in Pennsylvania crude, gave he
producers cause 10 expect yesterday >
raise In advance.
Most of the producers are looking
. forward to still higher price before
many months have passed. and condi-
tIons seem very favorable toward that
end.

Captain w. E. Hoy will attend the
annual convention of the Licensed

Green. as announced in the Labor
World last week. The Labor World
wishes to acknowledge it's mistake.
Capt Hoy will attend the meeting
as the delegate Of the Duluth union,
Local No. is the official title of the
Duluth chapter.
The Duluth local as indicated by

Of the L. T. p. A..
The principal business to come be-

actments and the election of grand
officers for 1912.
Later in the winter a conference
will be held at which time. the lake
labor association will discuss wages
and hours for the new year.

& Wrecking company, and is one of
the most popular members of the To-
cal orga nization.

Local Bricklayers' Union Not to
Be Represented at Ma
tional Convention.

Local bricklayers will not be rep
resented at he national convention
which will be held this year during
the present month in st. Joseph, Mo.
The local order has been repre-
sented at nearly every national con-
vention in a number of years. The
matter came up for discussion recent
~ and as there are no known vital
questions to be taken up, at the St..
Joe meeting for settlement, it was de-
cided that representation this year is
unnecessary.
The local body Is in flourishing
condition and the year just past has
been a good one for every one con-
nected with the organization. The
meetings are we'll attended and the
membership is the largest in the his
tory of the organization.
The entertainments planned by the
br1cklayers this winter are proving to
be enjoyable affairs. ~.
The union has enjoyed since it's be-
ginning in Duluth steady, conserva-
tive. growth until at the present time
the Duluth local is perhaps one Of the
strongest organizations of the kind in
the entire country.

!. HELP FROM COUNCIL
Fund Is Created to Give Winter
Employment to Men in Need
and Out Of Work.
Associated Charities Doing It's
Share to Care for Unfor-
tunate Laborers. ~ "

At the meeting Of the city council
Tuesday night, revolving fund of
$1,000 was created. The fund will
be used to conduct the work at the
rock pile which was established about
a year ago and which, it is claimed, is
most successful at furnishing +down
and OUTS work for a few days at
time.
The work at the rock pile is under
the direction of the board of public
works and the Duluth Associated
Charities.
The money will be taken from the
general fund and expended as it is
needed for the benefit Of the unem-
ployed in Duluth. AS the members Of
the unemployed increase and dirnin-
ish with the seasons and changed
conditions, it is thought that the
amount appropriated will take care of
the workyard in good shape.
The class Of people usually cared
for at the rock pile are what is known
as ..'transients.' They have: no regular
home and have never learned any
trade. They simply migrate from one
place to another doing what work
they can.
1t is claimed this year by the Asso-
ciated Charities that some of the men
are residents: of the; city; with fami-.
lies depending upon them for sup
port. They too,S are Of a class, it is
said, who have no regular vocation.
The resolution providing for the
appropriation was advocated by E. A.
Silberstein, Courtney Dinwiddie, Sec
rotary Of the Associated Charities
and w. E. McEwen.

as any of the schemes as the late Mr..

Tuesday young man who stated
that he represented a coal company
visited: the house and stated that a.
wreck on the Great Northern had
caused, a great many tons of coal to
be spilled just few miles outside the
city limits. He offered to deliver 3
tons for $12.
He stated that the coal was inter-
fering with the cleaning up Of the
wreck and that it had to be gotten
out of the way at once.
Mrs. Kienast handed him the $12
without question as he looked honest
and told straightforward story. She
Is still looking for the coal.

WINTER ICE HARVEST
GIVES WORK TO MANY
Local Ice Companies Start With
Large Crews to Gather Their
Annual Crop. "

Here's work for idle hands
The local ice company will begin
cutting up their annual crop during
the coming week.
This means that about 100 men
will be given steady employment for
at least 80 days at fair wages.
The East End Ice company will
begin putting up ice at Spirit Lake,
Later the scene of the operations will
be transferred to Lake Superior if
that body freezes over
The other ice companies are be-
ginning to get busy. In all it is esti-
mated that 100000 tons Of ice will be
cut and packed away for summer use
by the ice companies of the Zenith
City.
The Duluth Ice. company began
work Thursday on the St. Louis river.
This company employs about 80 men
during the ice harvest. The company
is planning on taking about 100000
tons out of the river. A number of
store houses will have to be built on
the river in which to store the ice and
the building operations will give en-
ployment to quite number of men
for a short time.
In view of the fact that there are
many idle men in the city, at the pres
ent time, the fact that the ice COM
panies are about to harvest their an
nual crop will be glad news to those
who have for a long time pursued
the evasive job with but little sue
cess.
The Endion Ice company, the East
End Ice company and the Duluth Ice
company are the largest companies in
the city and to them applications for
work will be received.

LOOK With FAVOR ON
CHILD LABOR SUNDAY
Preachers of Duluth Will be
T.. Pleased to Deliver Sermon
on Great Question.

If the National Child Labor COM
mittee of those representing the body
in Duluth will inform Duluth min
listers of the fact that Sunday, Jan.
%; has been set aside as Child Labor
Sunday, the ministers say they will
be glad to observe it.
A number of ministers were called
on the telephone today and asked if
they intended to celebrate the day
with a special sermon on child labor
and in each instance the ministers
stated that they had not heard any,
thing about it.
All of them agreed, however, that
the idea is good one and they said
that if advertising matter is sent
them they will be glad to cooperate
with labor unions in the observance
of the day.
The report Of the National Child
Labor committee shows that new
child labor laws have been passed in
30 states during the past year. The
commission on Uniform Laws of the
American Bar association has pre-
pared and sent out to the public a
model child labor law to be used as
standard of uniformity in all states.
The gains made during the year,
state the members of the committee,
show that a great deal Of interest is
being taken throughout the country
in the matter of child labor. It is
thought that he time will be short
before the adoption of federal child
labor law which will apply in all the
states Of the union.
Last year there were but two states
that had abolished child night mes
senger service. During the year just
passed nine other states joined the
ranks making II now in all.
