DULUTH STREET CAR STRIKE.

Duluth, Minn.-With practically every
citizen and every newspaper against the
management OF the local street railway
company Tor its arbitrary attitude in the
present strike, the contest continues.
Efforts have been made by the mayor
and the city council to induce the street
car company to submit the differences
existing to arbitration. but the car COM
pany seems to be determined to carry
on the warfare without any regard what
ever to the rights OF the people who live
in this city. Accidents are of frequent
occurrence and the service in its entirety
is abominable. The people of the city
are becoming thoroughly aroused and
are demanding that settlement be
reached and insisting that the city is en-
titled to at least decent consideration
by the company.

Swiss hall, 1i1S Larimer street. This
has been decided by Organizer Hoage of
the Trades Assembly and his committee.
Ihe assembly directed the organizer to
get the city laborers together into an
organization that they may be protected
and paid better wages The committee
has had several meetings and it has been
decided to issue circular to the laborers
and invite them 10 n meeting at that
time and endeayor to have them Join an
organization that will give them better
wages. There is little doubt but that the
attempt will be a success

James b. Pearce, on whom a nasty
tight was made by certain newspapers
and by few women who banded them
selves together under the name of the
Women's Non-Partisan Political League
in order to elect Ramer, was reelected,
although his vote was reduced Pearce
could probably have been defeated had
the opposition centered on Bacon, on the
Progressive ticket, but they could not
gain certain support if they chose him
because it was feared that such a cam
paign would have lent prestige to the
Progressive ticket and would defeat GER
tain Democratic nominees whom the big
newspapers desired to elect 1t should
also be said in this connection that the
nasty fight against Pearce caused many
to scratch their ballots for him.
Edward Keating and Edward T. Taylor
were elected to congress. In Keating the
laboring people have a friend, and he
can be depended upon to support labor
legislation. On account of Taylor's rec
ord he was unopposed by the labor ele-
ment for reelection. 1t is to be regret
ted that Clarence P. Dodge was not
elected to congress.
Roady Kenehan's election as auditor is
pleasing to the laboring people of the
state, while the election of Leddy as
auditor anu the defeat of Temple is to be
regretted.
George ]. Kindel was elected to take
the place of Atterson w. Rucker in the
congress, and his election but demon
strates the incompetency of the men in
the labor movement who prevented ac~
tion at the primaries which would have
defeated Kindel- At that time little
over five hundred votes were needed to
do it, but certain unrepresentative labor
ing men sacrificed Rucker in order that
a few laboring men could not get credit
lor accomplishing something. 1t was i'm
possible to defeat Kindel at the polls,
.or the vote he received was tremendous
The same men who caused Fuckers de-
feat are now complaining because he was
advised not to run Independently. To
snow how good that advice was we need
but point to the campaign of John r.
Dixon as an independent candidate. His
defeat was overwhelming.
Judge TuIly Scott was elected to the
supreme court. and the people will have
little need to regret their action.
Mary C. c. Bradford is the new super
intendent OF public instruction.
The Amendments.
The people followed the newspapers on
the proposed amendments and initiated
, bills. 1t is conceded that the Mothers
Compensation, immigration Bureau Fund
Summer Normals. Highway Bonds, Head
less Ballot, Highway Commission Fund
Examination of Teachers. Recall of Judi
cial Decisions, the Recall of Elective Of
ficials, Women's Eight-Hour, Home Rule
for Cities and Civil Service measures
were all voted upon favorably by the
people.
The Trades Assembly Public Utilities
Commission bill and the Direct Legisla-
ton Leagues Public Utilities Court
amendment as Wen as the School amend
ment are probably defeated by small
vote
Statewide Prohibition and the Search
and Seizure measure received the re-
buke that was due such measures. They
were overwhelmingly defeated. and the
large vote against them will prevent
their appearance before the people again
for long time.
The Tunnel measure was defeated, al
though it carried in Denver.
