DIGNITY O LABOR
IN SUNDAY PARADE
Fears Of Street Railway Officials
Not Realized Labor Stood
Erect.

When the street railway men an
nounced last week that they contem-
plated holding q street parade and
mass meeting at the Armory, repre-
sentatives Of the street railway COM:
pany began a canvass Of the goody-
goody business men Of Duluth.
They represented that street pa
rade would be liable to provoke a
riot, and the assistance of these men
was asked to influence Mayor Nc
Cuen and Sheriff Meining to prohibit
tho parade. Both the sheriff and the
mayor called representatives Of the
men into conference and for a. time
it was agreed not to hold the parade
on Superior street, but the men would
march down First street where there
are no street cars. This was agreed
to by the strikers.
However, after deliberation it was
held by the officers Of the union that
the striking street railway men had
conducted themselves so well in the
past, that even If some foolish person
started to provoke riot, they would
voted to march down Superior street.
Thousands of people thronged the
sidewalks as the parade passed by and
at every point along the line of march
the men were greeted with hearty ap-
plause. It was good-natured crowd.
law abiding and peaceful and the
dignity with which the striking rail-
way. men passed through the streets.
paying no attention to the street cars
or the strike-breakers who had TAX
en- their places, won them thousands
of new sympathizers. >>
The great crowd reached the Ar
mory in perfect order. No more peace

l.sembled in Duluth. 1t was moral
triumph of the street railway en-
ployes over the Duluth Street Rail-
way company and the officers of the

PAPERS o. DULUTH
REFUSE TO CHANGE.
Big Business and It's Lackeys Fail
in Effort to Reach
Daily Papers.

: The attitude Of the Duluth daily
papers in the street railway strike is
commanding for them the respect and
admiration of: every sympathizer OF
the striking carmen.
The Labor World recognizes that
the newspapers are in a difficult posi-
ton. It requires considerable moral
courage on the part .of the manage
ment of both Of the papers to assume
the positions they have.
The most serious complaint made
against daily newspapers in times
gone by was that they were subsi-
died by the special interests, and
they were not free to discuss or advo-
cate the real wants and sentiments
Of the American public. -
/ In recent years. however, most Of
the big daily papers have gotten
away from the special interests, but
when this happened new menace
presented itself. While a large sub
scription list is a necessary asset to
a prosperous newspaper, its chief
revenue comes from the business
houses who advertise therein. The
real danger now is that large ad-
vertisers attempt to influence the edi-
torial and news policies of newspa-
pers.
They do not do this voluntarily, but
they are prompted to use their influ-
ence with newspapers by the agents
Of the special interests and Big Busi-
ness generally, with whom the mer-
chants associate in a social way.
We have learned that several large
merchants in Duluth have busted
themselves considerably during the
street car strike in an attempt to
influence the owners Of: the Duluth
News Tribune and the: Duluth Even
ing; Herald to change their, course in
| treating Of the. street railway strike.
TO: the credit OF Mr.: ,Bunnell of the
News Tribune and Mr.: Wiess .of the
Duluth Evening. Herald, let it be said
that they have. admirably held their
ground, and they have, nobly stood by
the people in this contest. .:-% :

BUSINESS MEMS AUTO TRIP.
Crowned with Pleasure and Success.
Hearty Welcome at All Points.

Friday last was grand day but no
grander than the wideawake, enthus-
iastic spirit displayed by Mineral Point
business men. 1t was the day set for
thel- annual outing, this time by auto,
Twenty-seven autos were secured fcr
the trip, not enough in fact to accom-
modate all who would like to have gone,
but there was no dissatisfaction, simply
godspeed exclamation by those left
behind who agreeably set to work to
transact business and guard the city.
OFF the boosters went at 7:i6 a. m.
about 1875 in ALL Their first stop was
at Mtilln, then Linden, Cobb, Edmund,
Ridgoway, Dodgeville, Jonesdale, Hol-
landale, Blanchardvile and Waldwick in
the order named. A warm, friendly well
come was extened them in all towns.
Bret addresses were made at each place
and the Mineral Point band which was
in attendance dscoursed pleasing music.
The noon hour was spent in Dodgeville.
and the citizens of that place were
found in readiness with a reception
which would have done credit to town
many times larger. Their excellent
band was out in full force and uniform
and right well did the players do their
part A most substantial dinner was
served free at the Hotel Higbee, like
wise cigars. Mineral Point money was
useless in Dodgeville In short it was
a joyous feast of good win, one not
to be easily blotted from the memory
of any participant. Supper hour time
and the autoists We're at the village of
Waldwick. There they found boun
teous spread in waiting on tables in a
beautiful grass lawn, enough for twice
the number tbs estimated. After sat
isfying the demands of the inner man
talking and band playing caused an
hour to pass as no time, but for all
that a pleasing and eIesating impress
sion took hold of one and all. Then
home they came. somewhat dust-laden
and little tired, but happy.
Considering the extreme roughness
of some of roads over which the autos
had & pass, it is remarkable that mis-
haps were but slight, SO slight that all
were at each stopping place on time.
AS as generally understood the trip
was principally to renew friendships
and tell Of the excellence and reliability
of the fair soon to be held in this city, |
and there is reason for hope that it
will bear good fruit.
