OTHER STATES THERE
WHERE WAS EbERHART
Three Great Governors Appear
Before Supreme Court in
Rate Case.

The governors of several states,
through a committee consisting Of
Harmon Of Ohio, Hadley of Missouri,
and A]drich of Nebraska, appeared
before the supreme court of the
United States on Monday and sub
m1tted argument against Judge San
born's decision in the Minnesota
Rate case.
The governors made an able argu-
ment upon constitutional grounds in
which they questioned the right Of
the court to prohibit a sovereign
state from regulating commerce
within it's boundaries on purely in
tra-state business. They believed
that If the Sanborn decision was up
held by the supreme court it would
render it impossible for any state in
the uniNp to regulate railroad rates
therein.
Governor Eberhart of Minnesota,
who does considerable travelling
throughout the country and who has
made several visits to Washington,
found 1t convenient not to be in
Washington at this time with the
governors of the other states who
were there. Minnesota is more vital
~ concerned in the. Sanborn decis-
ion than any other state, and yet its
chief magistrate sits idly by without
uttering one word of protest. He
did, on the contrary, protest for the
railroad interests against the but
ting in" program of the governors
If Governor Eberhart can get away
with such evident inactivity, his al
lance with such system servers as
Ed Smith, with his failure to call a
special session of the legislature to
enact laws that will forstall the
action of the railroads, and that will
also give to the people the right to
state their preference for candidates
for the office of president of the
United States, and his general do
nothing program except to talk con-
servation and rural schools, then the
people of Minnesota are in sore
plight:

Workngmen at Last Learn True
Caiber Of Journalist and
Repudiate Him. i

William Randolph Hearst is COM
ing into his own with the trade unions
Of America. Through his string Of
newspapers he undertook at first to
develop and control public opinion
IN such a way as to satisfy the ego
tism which is said to possess him.
For years he has been heralded az
q great lover of mankind who was
sent upon earth, as Moses of old. to
take the toilers Of America out Of
misery and want, If they would
hearken to his editorials and elect
him president of the United States.
At the last meeting of the Chicago
Federation Of Labor stinging resolu-
tions were passed which indicate that
the working classes of Chicago have
at last realized what a. monumental
humbug they have in Mr.. Hearst.
The resolution pictured Mr.. Hearst
as follows:
I'm order to satisfy his all consum-
ing notion that he is great states
man, William Randolph Hearst set
out to CONTROL the labor unions
Of the country, so that he might use
them for his political aggrandisement.
"First-He got behind weak unions
and espoused their cause. =
"Second-He stood for the strong
unions proclaiming their right to
higher wages and shorter hours. ;
'Third-He got behind all strikes
and dedicated his newspapers to their
success. ,,- !
"Fourth-Any officer or member
of an organization, no matter how
insignificant, who would declare that
Hearst was Presidential Timber
would be heralded as a great leader
and the columns Of the Hearst news
papers would be used to show how
deeply the labor movement vas in

tions. -:..~s ~ - ;.@. =: +

Polk County Attorney and Deputy
Commissioner of Labor Show
Great Courage.

There were no new developments
In the Garments situation on the
Great Northern during the week.
John H. Walters, deputy president of
the Brotherhood of Railway Carmen,
is still at st. Paul and he is busily
enga ged collecting data and evidence
to be used in the habeas corpus pro-
ceedings before the supreme court.
The union officials have cause
the arrest of the master mechanic of
the Great Northern at Crookston for
violating the law of Minnesota, which,
prohibits an employer from influenc.
ing any person to enter into any
agreement, written or verbal, not to
join, become or remain a member of
any lawful labor organization as II
condition of securing or retaining
employment with such employer.
Under this provision two officials
of the Great Northern were formerly
arrested and they have since been re-
ings. The arrest followed under
another section of the law. This
section is very strong and seems to
hit the point more forcibly than does
the law pertaining to labor organiza-
tions directly.
1t reads as follows: EVERY person,
who, on his own account, or as a
member of a co-partnership or as an
officer or member of a. corporation
foreign or domestic, shall require or
demand of any employee, under any
conditions whatsoever, the surrender

al right or privilege of citizenship
shall be guilty of a gross misde
meanor."' Penalty, 100000 fine, one
year imprisonment.
The decisions Of the court are uni
form on the question of laborer':
right to belong to lawful labor or
ganization. For an employer to dis
charge him because of his member

hoped will be proven TO be a denia

URGE ORGANIZERS TO
UNITE METAL TRADES
Steps May Be Taken to Form
Metal Trades Council In
Twin Ports.

A. J. Barnes, secretary-treasurer of
American Federation Of Labor, has
written to Duluth urging all Of the
metal trades unions Of the head Of
the lakes to form a local trades coun-
Gil, similar to that which obtains in
the building trades. The following
local unions are eligible for memb ber-
ship in the proposed council: sheet
metal workers, blacksmiths, boiler
makers, electrical workers, steam
engineers, steamftters, machinists,
molders and pattern makers.
The International unions of the
above named locals are affiliated with
the metal trades department and
they have a combined membership
throughout the country Of 100000.
The department idea Of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor is carrying
into practice the principle of indus
trial unionism which is advocated so
ardently by the Socialists. Wherever
it has been tried the movement Of
labor has become general and in
dividualism has been buried. It has
prevented the employer from using
one trade to defeat the purposes of
the other. It has brought about unity
where division has formerly pre-
vailed.
The Metal Trades department en-
ploys the same methods to protect
It's members that the employer has
adopted to defeat them. It has pro-
noted a thorough understanding
between the trades. 1t aims to have
all agreements with employers ter
inmate on the same day, thus avoid
ing unnecessary trade entanglements,
and finally it has converted into
practice the long advanced theory
that IAN injury of one is the concern

ASK CONGRESS To
QUERY COAL TRUST
People of Duluth Should Petition

of Local Combine.
EVIDENCE IS CERTAIN,

Are the coal dealers of Minnesota

Are the coal dealers of Minnesota
and Wisconsin doing business il
legally in restraint of trade?
The people of Duluth in particular
are vitality interested in this question.
They know that every coal dealer
charges the same price per ton for
coal delivered in this city. They know
too that beginning on May first and
every month thereafter for five
months there is simultaneous ad-
vance of 10 cents on each ton Of coal.
They know also that by some
strange manipulation anthracite coal
was advanced in Duluth at the time
Of the last big coal strike approx
imately $1.00 per ton and during all
Of these years it has not been re-
duced.
A group of Socialist officials in
Two Harbors have demanded of
congress an Investigation into the al
legged coal combine Of Duluth and
Superior. Another Socialist town,
Thief River Falls, has also made the
same request.
These petitions moved Congress-
man Steenerson to introduce a reso-
luton in the house proposing the
creation of a special committee of
five members to investigate an al
legged com bination of coal dealers
at the head of Lake Superior in Min
nesota and Wisconsin,
The resolution provides for an in
quiry into charges Of a combination
of dealers operating in violation Of
the antitrust laws. who decline to
supply coal to any municipality at
tempting to deal in coal for the ac-
commodation Of the public, and who
refuse to supply coal except to reg

to supply any consumer either in car

STATE. MACHINE RUN
BY SYSTEM SERVERS
Senator George n. Sullivan Of
Saltwater Raps Motion for
Preferential Primaries,

Senator George H. Sullivan, sys-
tenn server, counsel for the Twin City
Rapid Transit company at Saltwater,
floor leader in the senate for Ed.
Smiths political machine, spokesman
for the Interests against free rides
on street cars for policemen and half
fares for letter carriers, opponent of
direct primaries, election of United
States senators by popular vote, the
initiative and referendum and every
thing the people want, was true to
his legislative record and his polit-
ical masters at the meeting of the
Republican state central committee
on Tuesday.
He declared that the North Dakota
primaries had shown the ineff1ciency
of the primary system and said this
state did not want the safeguards
thrown up in caucuses to be displaced
by. inefficient primary elections. Sem
ator Sullivan's argument was perfect
ly natural. The primary system in
North aDkota is 'inefficient" for the
old school of gangsters who for twen-
ty years have robbed that state of it's
good name. The returns in the recent
election there indicate that the days
of bossism in the Flickertail state are
over. The people rule now, and this
is just such a condition that SEN
ator Sullivan and his masters do not
want in Minnesota.
The Republican committee at St.
Paul Tuesday, under the dictatorship
of Ed. Smith, Governor Eberhart's
political master, indicated by its
course that it is" still the machine
ridden institution that it ever has
been. The people can expect no move
ment for social or political reform to
emanate from that source.

BERGER finds |! both
PARTIES ARE 4 alike
Militant Wisconsin Congressman
Cant Find Any difference
Between Old srties.

Victor Berger, the tnilitant Wis
consin congressman, Who has been
earning national !, reputation for
himself since his advent into the ma
tional legislature, returned to Mil
waukee last week for the purpose. of
closing the s@.lbca IL ca r47aign there. MFR.
Berger addressed a,re rf4ow meetings
and he took considerable pleasure in
roking fun at the Socialist opposi-
tion. He declared that the Situa-
tion in Milwaukee was then just
what it would be in all the country
few years hence.
In one respect" he said. "the BIZ
partisan non-partisan point of view
is justified. There are only two par
ties in America, the capitalist, anti
Socialist party, which represents all
the forces of exploitation, graft and
darkness-and the anti-capitalist,
Social-Democratic party, which rep
resents all the forces of honesty,
progress and light.
His Opinion Confirmed.
"You see, have known this for a
good many years. However, I have
been confirmed in my opinion in a
rather funny way.
''After having been in the house Of
representatives for about three
months and paying close attention to
my duties, and having gained the al
most unanimous good will of the
members I one day took one of the
leaders of the Republican party aside
and said confidentially, Mr.. x, I
have never asked you for any favor
Will you do me favor today?'
Yes said Mr.. K; 4 will do so
with pleasure
"I have been in the house Of
representatives now for about three
months and have watched its work
very closely. Now will you kindly
explain to me the difference between
the Republican and the Democratic
party?'
"Mr. x looked at me. very closely
for about half a minute in silent
amazement. Then he said, Why,
what a question, Victor! There is
no difference, of course not. 1t is all
politics.
Where He Hangs His Hat.

position in the house of representa-
tives. Then I thought the Democrats
might have different point Of
view, and I went over to the DEM
oc1atic cloakroom and asked prom
inent Democrat for his opinion. He
first tried to make out that the
tariff was the difference. But when
I pointed how many Democrats had
voted for a high tariff whenever in
dustries of their own district came
into question, then he also admitted
that there was really no difference.
And he added that there was an
actual necessity for a new party, be-
cause there was no vital difference
between the two old parties. None
OF these gentlemen was a Socialist or
had the. faintest idea of Socialism.
They simply spoke from a political
point of view, without in any way
understanding or trying to understand
the great and deep economic ques-
tions Of the day.
"Now, ladies and gentlemen, I
agree with them that there is no diff
ference between the Republican and
Democratic party and that as far as
the vital interests of the great masses
of the people are concerned, one
might just as we'll close his eyes and
vote at random. .s.&% r..
