SHARTEL WILL LEAVE
DULUTH FOR CANADA
Able President of Common C0un.
Gil Is Lured to the Great
Canadian Northwest.

Duluth union men will be grieved
to learn that Alderman Joseph
Shartel of the Fourth ward and presi-
dent of the city council, will leave
Duluth to take up his residence at
Saskatoon, Sask.
Mr.. Shartel came to Duluth, about
~ years ago and at once deposited
his card with the Cigarmakers' union
of this city. He worked at his trade
and earned a reputation of being an
honest and hardworking man.
His ability soon showed itself and
he was elected president of his union
and delegate to the Trades and La
Dor assembly, and later its presiding
officer.
AS the representative of the Fourth
ward in the council, he has earned
and held the respect of all. He has
been untiring in his efforts to better
municipal conditions, not only for
Tor all the people Of the city. He
was elected to the council on the
Democratic ticket and was later
elected president of the body.
Mr. Shartel states that he dislikes
to leave Duluth as the best years OF
his life have been spent here. 1T
is here that I have my friends, and
1t is here that I would wish to stay,
but l have business opening at the
Canadian town that cannot pass
up
Matt Ettinger. who has been in the
cigar manufacturing business with
Mr.. Shartel, has purchased Mr..
SharteIs interest.
Mr.. Shartel counts his friends nv
the hundred as was proved when he
was running for office. The people
or the city generally, and particularly
union men, will regret Mr. Sharters
departure. but will join in the general
wish that success will follow him
wherever he goes. t..- "..- 49,

GAMPBEtl:=|S IS DOOMED
FOR LIEUT. GOVERNOR
Chairman of House Labor Commit
tee is Boosted by Large Num-
Der Of Strong Men.

w. A. Campbell of Minneapolis, a
member of the legislature in 1909 and
1911, a travelling man, chairman of
Labor committee, regarded as labor
representative in the house and a
progressive Republican, is being
pushed by his friends for lieutenant
governor.
Mr.. Campbell is popular with work
ingmen and he is a square, honest
and upright man, and an untiring
worker for the cause Of labor Any
thing that is for the benefit of the
workingmen Mr.. Campbell has proved
that he will fight for.
The Minneapolis man is true blue
from start to finish, and his word is
as good as gold, his judgment as
sound as the rock OF Gibralter.
Many times Mr.. Campbell has
come to the rescue Of the laboring
man and pushed through his bills
for him. He is brainy, and his rec
ord in the legislature is one of which
amy man would be proud.
The Mill City man has a. host OF
friends, particularly at home where
he counts them by the hundreds. He
has many friends at the Head OF
the Lakes, and they join the Mime
apolis boosters In pushing him fol
the second biggest political job in
the state.
1t is sure guess that should Mr..
Campbell be nominated he would
probably poll as large a labor vote
as has ever been cast for a candid
ate in the state.

Militant Methods of English SUI
fragettes Not Popular With
Duluth Women.

'"Thank goodness the American
women do not have to throw bricks
through store windows to gain the at
tention of the public and thus let it
be known that there is fight for
suffrage" stated DR.. Mary Mccoy,
the local we'll known suffragist
leader.
I'VE are gradually getting the right
to vote in a peaceful manner and this
Is as it should be- don't believe
that American women would attempt
the militant methods employed in
England. We don't need them here.
Sentiment is against the destruction
Of property. 49,
I'm Duluth we women get together
for our meetings which are always
We'll attended by men. We increase
our membership to the different clubs
al rapidly as possible, and we are just
as determined to get the vote as are
our English cousins, but we. do not
believe in the methods they use.
They would not go in this country,
and we women have no desire to
lower ourselves in the eye of the pub
lic
Many OF the men are just as anN-
Gus that we vote as we are to vote.
They are helping us every day. In
deed, it is the men who are gradually
giving in and helping US get the ball
lot. If they didn't there would be
absolutely no chance, for it is the
men who must decide for US. We
must get them on our side and we
cannot do this by smashing store
windows s

"A state free employment bureau

poverty; helping the. working people
to retain their self-respect, and TAX
ing the burden off the hands of the
city. great many women whose
husbands were unable to find work
this winter, and who were then
forced to go out to work for the first
time in their married lives, have told
me Of the terrible mental struggle
to look for work, until they visited
the bureau and found that it was
an institution conducted by the state,
and to which they had perfect right
to come. Thus through it's efforts
a great many families are kept from
applying to the city for aid each
winter. On the other hand there is
the economic value to the employer,
which amounts to quite little in
the course Of a year, besides the
benefit Of better service.
Good Service Encouraged.
For instance the day-women apply
ing to us are encouraged to give good
service and retain the places assigned
to them permanently, in order to get
the greatest possible results from our
efforts and make room for new ap-

HOT BATTLE ON FOR
LEADER Of COUNCIL
Possibility That Deadlock Will Be
Experienced if sandberg
Stands Pat.

There are two Democratic candi-
dates for president Of the common
council. Both come from the West
End and each has a strong following
in the council.
Interest in the choice of a presid.
ing officer of the council was never
SO keen. The successful candidate
will name two very important COM
mittees about which special interests
in particular are vitality concerned.
They are the committees on police and
license, and light and water.
The brewery and saloon people will
want a fair committee on. police and
license, while the electric lighting peo-
pie will be interested in the naming
of the right kind of a committee on
light and water.
Alderman Bernard of the Seventh
ward, and Alderman Hoar of the Sixth
are the contestants for president.
1t is stated that the public owner
ship members are for Alderman Ber-
nard, while the others favor Alderman
Hoar.
Mr.. Hoar, it is said, has been very
much misunderstood as to his position
on municipal ownership. A friend in
forms the Labor World that the AL
derman from the Sixth has repeatedly
declared that he would be guided in
his course in the council by the ver-
dict of the people.
The people have spoken in favor
of municipal ownership. and it is fair
to presume that Alderman Hoar will
act accordingly. Indeed every men,
Der of the council, excepting Alder
! man Jordan is on record in favor Of
| carrying out the expressed will of
the people on the question of the

lighting plant.
But there is many q slip "twixt

| many a queer parliamentary move
between the vote Of the people on the
bond issue and the final determina-
! ton of the question.
There Is a possibility Of a dead
lock In the council until Alderman
Sharteps successor is selected.
Everything will depend on the vote
Of Alderman sandberg, the new men,

LOCAL. UNIONS WILL
HELP fREDrJ mooney
Contributions Will be Made to En-.
able Him to Provide for Fam
lily and Get Fair Trial.

To insure a fair trial for Fred. J.
Mooney, accused of conspiracy in the
Indianapolis dynamiting cases, local
unions are being called upon for
donations for the Erred ]. Mooney
Defense Fund.-
All of the unions are being asked
for donations. It is not expected that
they will donate large sums, but it
Is thought that by calling on each
one for a small amount, none of them
will feel the loss, and the total will
be large enough to help in the Du-
luth mans defense.
A circular letter has been sent out
to all the unions and it is probable
that at the union meetings of the
next two weeks contributions will be
made.
1t is believed that Mr.. Mooney was
in no way connected with Indian
apolis dynamiting plots and that it
will be a simple matter for him to
establish his innocence, provided, he
has the means at his command.
The trial promises to be expensive
for him. He will be forced to take
his witnesses at his own expense
from Duluth and Superior to Indi-
annapolis.
The funds Of the local union of the
Structural Iron Workers union are
low, the members having given lib
eraf support to the Mcnamara cases
and having been deceived in their ac-
t1on. The money was subscribed be-
cause the local men believed that the
brothers were innocent.
