Trades Assembly Expects Soon to
Launch Card and Label
League.

Most of the business transacted at
the last meeting of the trades as
sembly was OF routine nature. A
communication was received from the
Bridge and Structural Iron Workers,
asking for aid in the defense of Fred
j. Mooney, one of the members of
that union. The trades assembly
made a liberal contribution.
The formation of a card and label
league seems to be assured. Notice
was received from the Typographical
Union stating that it's members were
in favor of the organization of a
league.
The newly organized photo en-
gravers' union sent delegate to the
assembly. 1t will be represented by
M. Aberthenty, who was obligated by
President Marandaw.
The organization committeer re.
ported that it was meeting with good
success sin assisting the Teamsters
union, and that meeting would be
held with that organization on Tues.
day evening next.
w. E. McEwen, editor of the Labor
World. was called upon for few re.
marks. He discussed the genera
philosophy Of the labor movemen,
and plead for more activity on the
part of the members of the trade
unions. He believed that the time
was at hand when labor would gel
new strength, leave it's MORNINGS anc

CHURCHES Of DULUTH
JOIN With LAb0RERS
Duluth Ministerial Union Sends
Wide-Awake Delegate to
Trades Assembly.

For the first time in the history of
the labor movement of Duluth the
Ministerial Union is represented in
the Trades Assembly of this city. AT
the last meeting Rev. John A. Nc
Gaughey, pastor of the Second Pres
byterian church, was admitted as a
fraternal delegate. When called upon
by President Marandaw, Mr.. Nc
Gaughey gave the delegates an able
and inspiring speech on the relations
of the church and labor.
He told Of his work as preacher
of the gospel, saying that it always
has been among the people of the
working classes. He is now pastor OF
a church in which the congregation Is
largely composed of working people
He said that it was the aim of most
preachers to learn both sides of all
questions. He believed it the duty OF
the men of God, following the ex-
ample set by Jesus Christ, to espouse
the cause of the masses. He believed
that if there was any difference be-
tween the churches and the trade
unions they were largely of temp
ermental character and could easily
be abridged. So long as he was a
delegate to the trades assembly he
pledged himself to perform all duties
expected of him without hesitancy.
Later in the evening President
Marandaw appointed Mr.. McGaughey
a member of the committee on pub
locations and lectures. At the next
meeting of the assembly the commit
tee will present DR., Langsing of the
Men and Religion Forward Moveme ment
who will deliver an address to the
delegates. It is said that DR.. Langs-
ing has had long experience in the
labor movement.

ARBITRARY STREET RAIL-
WAY OFFICIAL REBUKED

CHICAGO, March 14.-The recent
suspension Of a number Of men by
the new superintendent of the Chi
cago Railways company nearly pre-
cipitated a strike.
The entire matter, however, was
taken to the higher officials of the
railroad and a satisfactory adjust
ment has been reached. The new SUI
perintendent. apparently OF an ex-
tremely arbitrary disposition, was
overruled by the higher officials of
the company.
1t is indeed unfortunate that men
of this character are placed in Of
f1cial positions, but the street car men
of Chicago are also fortunate in hav-
Ing been able to carry their case to
officials of the company who recog-
nized that injustice had been done to
the men In most instances.

Carmen on James J. Hills Rails
road Ordered to Give Up
Union or Their Jobs.
ALLEGED VIOLATION OF
MINNESOTA LAW IS HELD
Hill Road Pays Poorest Wages to
Unskilled Labor of Any Rail-
road in the West.

The Great Northern railway Of
f1cials have sent out word that all Ia
Dor organizations of the so-called un-
skilled laborerS must be destroyed.
A few months ago the car re-
pairers and inspectors along the
Great Northern organized under the
banner of the Brotherhood of Rail-
way Carmen. Local lodges were in
stalled at almost every division east
of the Missouri river. No attempt
has been made to get a schedule from
the railroad, but the company evil
IDENTIFY believes that such a step is
soon contemplated.
Gruber Issues the Order.
Orders were sent out, it is said,
from the office of General Manager
Gruber to notify all members of the
Carmen's union that they must either
surrender their membership in the
union or their job on the railroad AS
a result many men are leaving the
union, while a goodly number are
forced to leave their jobs because of
their loyalty to the principle Of
unionism.
The alleged order of Mr.. Gruber is
a direct violation of a state law, and
the Bureau Of Labor has been asked
to investigate the matter. Commits
sioner Houk directed one of his
deputies to go to Crookston Monday
where the most fragrant violations Of
the law are reported. Action on the
charges was taken Wednesday and
two arrests of petty officials have
been made, but the men higher up
who issued the orders, seem to be
exempt for they have permitted their
subordinates to openly do the crimi-
nal work, while they moved under
cover.
Men Are Poorly Paid.
Next to section men the car re-
pairers are the poorest paid in the
railroad service. The Great Northern
gives It's experienced repairers and in
spectors wage of p cents an hour
for a 12-hour day. These men work
365 days a year without a single day
off and no Sundays.
The men of less experience, who
are classed as helpers are paid at the
rate of $1.35 per day. The Hill road
pays the least wages to it's unskilled
laborers of any roalroad in Minne-
sofa. On the Northern Pacific car re-
pairers receive &c cents an hour for

EASTER MONDAY BALL
Of DULUTH TRA|NMEN n
Lodges of Duluth and Proctor
Unite for Big Social Affair to
Be Given Easter Monday.

In the last issue of the Labor

forming our readers of a notice sent
out by E. J. Burns, president of a
local lodge of the Brotherhood of
them against unauthorized solicitors
who were raising money for that or
ganization.
very prominent member of the
trainmen's organization called at the
Labor World office this week, and
took exception to our news item, de-
claring that Mr.. Burns had no ou-
thority to say anyone was misrepre-
senting the trainmen. I'VE are,'' he
said, selling tickets for the annual
ball to be given Jointly by the. train
mems lodges of Duluth and Proctor,
and your story has led some business
men to believe that we were not the
authorized representatives of our
lodges"
The Labor World received it's in
formation from a paid advertisement
printed in the Duluth Evening
Herald and signed by Mr.. Burns. We
thought this was sufficient evidence
Of fact, and hence our news item
However, we are glad to make good
for We know there are no members OF
the trainmen's lodges who would will
fully misrepresent their organization
Special trains for the annual ball
of the trainmen will be run from Two
Harbors and Proctor. The affair,
which promises to be the big social
event of the season, will take place
Easter Monday at the Auditorium.

OLD PARTIES unite
To- GUST SOCIALISTS
Interest Centers in Great Political
Conflict Now Going on in
City of Milwaukee.

e. II. Thomas, state secretary Of
Social Democratic party Of WiscOn-
sin, who is we'll known to many work.
ingmen in Superior, when asked Mon
day for a statement Of the political
situation in Milwau ukee where the So
cialists are having the fight of their
life against the combined opposition
Of the old parties, said: -.
THE so-called non-partisan ticket
of Milwaukee consists Of a combina-
ton Of Republican and Democratic
candidates. It was nominated by a
committee composed of nine Repub-
licans, nine Democrats, and nine
members of the Merchants and
Manufacturers association. A most
significant combination! 1t is indeed
the party of the interests.
1.-The Milwaukee Socialists, on their
part, are making the best and big
gest campaign they have ever yet
Waged. They are aware that this year
they must have majority of all the
votes cast In order to carry the city,
and not merely plurality, as in 1910
when Milwaukee first went Social
Democratic. In order to get this ma
jority, they are leaving no stone un-
turned. Eighty thousand pieces Of
literature will be distributed from
house to house next Sunday.
every day immense numbers OF
platforms and other literature are
circulated in the factories. The cam
paign committee has also issued a.
campaign booklet, containing a de-
tailed account Of what has been done
by the Milwaukee Socialist admins
:tration.
"Our meetings are packed to the
roof, and furnish overflow meetings,
which, however, fail to accommodate
all comers, so that many are turned
away.
Never before was such enthusiasm
shown so early in the campaign.
Never before was the quiet and SELF
restrained membership Of the Mil
waukee Social-Democracy so stirred
to its depths as today.
"The spirit Of the Socialists Is
splendid. The work they are doing
has never been equalled.' In the face
of the united enemy, we expect to
carry Milwaukee and nail it down
for Socialism forever

labor IS CONCERNED
IN VOTES FOR women
Speaker on Suffrage Before Labor
Group Says That Issue In
wolves Social Problem.

1.-The suffrage question is an econo-
mic question, more than it is politi-
CAL" This was the declaration Of "a
leader in the suffrage movement in
this city last Friday evening before
a group of workingmen.
She pointed out that If woman's
place was in the home 1t would be
necessary to give her the ballot so
that she could vote to bring about
industrial conditions that would keep
her there.
In her enthusiastic appeal to work.
ingmen in Duluth she: gave utterance
to some very choice logic and made
it plain that the Ider1and for wom-
ans suffrage was an inseparable
phase of the greaAslab problem.
T. This is how she put it: .''The suf-
frage question is an economic one,
and as such, should enlist the serious
attention of every working man and
woman.
'"The great army of women who
have been forced to leave the home
and go into industry are lowering
wages, croWding men out Of posi-
tions, and creating flercer and ever
f1ercer competition for jobs.
> Women are more tractable than
men. They are much less apt to or
ganize and strike for better condi-
tions. The crcwning virtue of women
in industry, however, is that they are
cheaper than men, and more profit
may be made from their labor
Manufacturers have been quick to
realize all this. and wherever pos
sible, women have been put at the
machine in preference to men.
"Quite recently Prof. Scott Near
ing has given us some astounding fig
ures in regard to wages in the Unit
ed States, the most significant Of
which are perhaps those relating to
the wages of women.
According to Professor Nearing's
carefully prepared tables, three-fifths
Of the working women in the United
States earn less than 1925 q year,
and nine-tenths earn less than $500
a year.
Men must compete for jobs with
this army Of underpaid women, and
this competition grows more tense
with each passing year.
This competition is unquestion-
ably one of the contributing causes
to the fact brought before US by
Professor Nearing, that one-half of
the adult males in the United States
are earning less than $500 a year.
with these facts staring them In
the face, how can working men go
stupidity on saying, Women shouldn' t
mix up with politics. Their place is
at home.'"

Tells CARNEGIE HE :
CAN KEEP HIS COIN
Virginia Library Board Does Not
Fancy Restriction Placed
Upon Gift. i

Virginia is one city in Minnesota
that possesses the courage to tell
Andrew Carnegie that if he doesn't
like the way they build their library
he can keep the money that he
sWeated from the steel workers Of
Homestead, and with which he is now
endowing libraries throughout the
country.
1t seems that some years ago Mr..
Carnegie gave the city of Virginia
$1,000 for a library building and it
was erected and in use until recently,
when the Canad dian Northern railroad
wanted the property for q depot site
and took it over. paying $4,000
therefor. Since then plans for a new
building large enough to meet the
demands Of the much larger and
rapidly growing city have been con-
sidered and it was decided to build
a $4,000 structure. Following this
decision Mr.. Carnegie was asked for q
further contribution and he agreed to
give $12,500 more providing certain
changes were made in the building
plans submitted him. These changes
have been carefully considered by the
library board and it has finally con-
cluded that they are not desirable nor
practicable.
AS Mr.. Carnegie declines to donate
under those conditions the board is in
favor of the city paying no further
attention to him but to pay the en-
tire cost itself. Secretary Pickering
presented this view Of the case to the
council and as a result a resolution
was adonted In which the aldermen
announce themselves as backing up
the board in it's position and author
izing it to cut of future relations
with Mr.. Carnegie. I@s*
Preliminaries incidental to the con-
struction of the new building will
now go forward as fast as possible.
