POPULAR RULE FIGHT
S|zz[ES At FINISH
Opposition Finally Protrudes Its
Head-Appeal to Patriotic
Citizens Is Made.

The campaign for the initiative,
referendum and recall started very
quietly, but from present indications
it is believed that it will finish in the
midst OF great excitement The at
titude of the city council in overrid-
ing tho viii Of the people an'; e@tcnd-
ing the patrol limits of the city in
the face of a great popular protest
has aroused the people to action az
they seldom have been aroused before
The opposition TO the initiative and
referendum, which has been quietly
working during the past month, on
Thursday protruded it's head and
showed itself to the people. The
advocates Of the Initiative, referen-
dunn and recall have perfected 8
splendid organization and the opposi-
ton of their opponents possesses no
fears for them.
A series of meetings have been
held during the past two weeks at
which addresses were delivered by
prominent local speakers. Four big
meetings will be held tonight. G. w.
G. Ross will speak at the West Du-
luth Commercial club. w. E. Nc
Even and DR.. D. H. Day will speak
at the West End Commercial club.
E. M. Morgan, w. E. McEwen and
Alex. Mcknight will spead at the
Second Presbyterian church. Several
prominent labor men will discuss the
subject at the big labor meeting to
be held at Moose hall.
The campaign committee for the
initiative. referendum and recall has
very little money. It does not ex-
poet very much. No special inter-
ests contribute to a campaign of this
character as they usually do t. other
campaigns.
This is the peoples fight and the
committee is expecting the patriotic
adherents of the principle to work
on election day without hire to get
out a good vote. Only one thing
can prevent the charter amendment
from being adopted, and that is the
failure of the friends of the initiative
referendum and recall to vote. Let
every citizen in Duluth do his duty
on Tuesday next.

ton of the evening to a discussion Of
the proposed charter amendment for

CALL
This was decided upon Wednesday
mittee in Kalamazoo han. The men,
bers of the committee held that the
trade union was the first institution
In America to declare for the initia-
tive, the referendum and the recall.
They have been the principal politi-
cal demands of organized labor in
Minnesota for Is years. Tho principle
is so closely welded TO the labor
movement that organized labor pro-
city to the full extent Of it's power.

meeting will be Coils v. Lovely Of
st. Louis, Mo-, general organizer Of
the Boot and Shoe Workers. Inter-
national union. He will be followed

ably the best informed man in the
United States on the true philosophy
OF the labor movement. He is a
powerful speaker and is we'll and
favorably known throughout America
Mr.. Best represents a trade union
that for many years has transacted
all its general business through the
initiative and referendum. The. in
ternational Cigarmakers'f union has
not held a convention in 16 years.
Mr.. Best will be able to- tell some-
thing of how the principle. Of the
initiative and referendum works in
the trade union. ...,.s,:....s,.

LABOR men. WIN
AF FTER. LONG FIGHT
Congress Is Treating Labor Legis
lation With More Considera-
~ tion Than Formerly.
A. F. OF L. COMMITTEE
MAKES STRONG REPORT
Several Good Laws Have Passed
and Committees Act Favor
ably on Many Others.

The officers Of the American Fede-
ration of Labor are very much
gratified over the progress that has
been made by Congress on measures
IN which the working people of the
United States are interested.
The legislative committee of the
American Federation of Labor has
filed with President Gompers its
quarterly report of the condition. Of
labor bills in Congress. The report
indicates that the present Congress
has treated labor legislation more
favorably than any of it's predecessors
of recent years.
All interest centers in the Anti
Trust and Injunction Limitation
Measures. These bills are being con-
sidered by the House Committee on
judiciary. Extended hearing to the
representatives of labor and a. variety
of opponents have been had.
Injunction Bill o.
A subcommittee has gone over the
Injunction Limitation Bill and has
reported favorably upon the measure
to the full committee. One or two
trivial amendments have been made
which deal distinctly with the legit-
innate use of the injunctive power to
conserve property rights by the equity
courts. -
The balance of the measure recon-
mended by the subcommittee is in
harmony with such sections Of the
bill advocated and urged by labor and
would secure personal rights from
judicial interference by equity power.
It also contains provision making
it necessary for the courts to serve
injunctions on persons affected and
not permitting the courts to abuse
the injunctive writ as heretofore, by
making them apply to any one per-
son or everybody under a sweeping
generalization. 4. go > :,

BRITISH LABOR MEN
STUDY ENGLISH LAW
Lectures Conducted in London on
Labor Law and Finance
BY Laborers.
CONTINUED on Page 81

LONDON, May 3.-The importance
of recent law cases in which trade
union funds have been involved is
not escaping the attention of the
higher trade union organizations, and
steps are being taken to cope with
the situation.
Instruction classs in trade union
law are to be held in London, and
later at all the chief towns, at which
executive and branch officials of
trade unions will attend.
The first lecture is entitled, THE
Attitude of English Law Toward
Trade Unionism,'' and will be in the
nature of a general historic survey
Of the varying attitude of the law Of
ficers to trade unions during the last
century.
The Parliamentary committee of
the trade union congress and repre-
sentatives Of all the trade unions,
will also hold a conference simulta-
neously to this meeting to consider
the position arising out Of the Trades
Dispute Act and the Osborne iudg-
ment.
The organization to provide the ex-
penses incidental to holding a seat
in parliament has been rendered very
precarious indeed by the Osborne
judgment.
The failure Of the govrnmnt to
pass a satisfactory amending act has
1ntnsified serious situation which
has grown out of the failure Of the
voluntary parliamentary levies in
stituted by unions to enable them to
meet the organizing and registration
expenses Of holding constituencies.
For instance, the Amalgamated
Society Of Engineers has overdrawn
Its account on this coluntary fund by
$4,000, and it's members are warned
in a recent report that unless funds
are soon forthcoming the seats held
by George Barnes, NJ. p, and Charles
Duncan. NJ. p, will have to be re-
linquished.

Trades " Assembly Committee
( Active Paintera, Carpenters
" and Machinists in Line.

The labor organizations of Duluth
are joining with the forces Of civic
Righteousness in the campaign now
closing in this city for the initiative,
the referendum and the recall. The
trades assembly at a meeting held
early in the campaign passed a set
OF ringing resolutions declaring in
favor of the charter amendment
which provides for direct legislation.
A committee was appointed con-
sisting of Richard Jones, w. E..
Towne, H. w. Brooks and Louis
Schriner to visit among the local
unions and urge them to not only
lndorse the charter amendment, but
to encourage their members to get
out and vote for it.
Committee LIS Busy.
This committee has been exceed
ingly busy. 1t is visiting every union
In the city. On lost Saturday even
Ing Richard Jones and w. E. Towne
delivered stirring addresses at the
Longshoremen's meeting. This was
the first meeting Of the season for
that union, and there were $50 men,
bers present. The charter amendment
was unanimously indorsed.
A visit was also made to the Tug
Firemen's union on Monday even
Ing. This organization was closing
up Its business for the season, but
it did not hesitate to pass a motion
pledging the support Of it's member
ship to the initiative, the referendum
and the recall.
On last Tuesday evening the paint
ers union by unanimous vote in
dorsed the proposition and each Of
its members was instructed to act as
committee of one on election day
to induce other citizens to vote at
the special election.
The Plasterers union was most en-
thusiastic over the proposed charter
amendment. A rising vote was taken
and every member, responded. This
union will also have a committee out
working on election day.
Maci,inists Approve 1t.
The Machinists'' union, consisting
largely of railroad workmen, voted
to support the amendment and the
members Of this organization are
doing some great campaign work
about the railroad shops.
The Carpenters union was one Of
the first in Duluth to indorse the
amendment. President Alex Kenne-
dy OF this organization is also chair
man Of the sixth ward committee and
he ID losing no time in getting the
citizens Of his ward interested. {.
Other union meetings this week, it
Is expected, will give the amendment
their Endorsement. If all Of the
trade union members in Duluth turn
out on election day and vote solidly
for the charter amendment, there
would be no question about the re-
suit. #F+g21s Z &%'' .." ~ s..:s 4 t>

LEG|EN TELLS HOUSE q
LABOR IS FOR PEACE
Great German Labor Leader De-
ivers Address in House
of Representatives.

WASHINGTON, May 3.-Carl Leg
len, who is now making a speaking
tour of the United States under the
auspices of the American Federation
of Labor delivered a short speech be-
fore the members of the lower house
In congress on Saturday.
Chairman w. B. Wilson of the la
Dor committee, made the motion for
recess in order that Mr.. Legien
might address the house, the usual
custom being followed in the motion.
The following is Mr.. Legien's address,
which was delivered in German and
translated by his secretary, Mr..
Baumiester:
Permit me to state that the orr
ganized workers do not only stand
for progress in their respective coun-
tries, but also are the strongest ad-
vocates of peace among nations.
"Our party in the German reich
stag has often brought pressure upon
the government to avert war by
getting into friendly communication
with our neighboring countries. Our
party has consistently opposed the
policy of increasing armaments.
The labor movement the world
over aims to bring about universal
peace instead Of allowing nations to
rival with each other in securing the
latest weapons to murder each other.
,"Our labor movement has for years
furthered legislation for the protec-
ton Of workers, education. and the
general unfit Of humanity Wa aro
full of hope when We note that the
same efforts are being directed In
every civilized land.
''Such legislation fosters good will
and peace among nations, and Will
make It possible for the human race:
to achieve the highest state Of civilix-
alton. Again, thank you.'

len by the Central Labor Union Of

INSERTS GAG CLAUSE
IN EXCELLENT BILL
Rider Put in Measure to Regulate
Lobbyists Discovered by
Labor Committee.

WASHINGTON, May 3.-Congress-
man Prouty of Iowa is author of a.
bill which has been reported out of
the District Of Columbia committee,
the first portion of which is excellent
but other portions are vicious.
Section I provides that persons
lobbying in congress for hire must
disclose that fact and indicate by
whom they are employed.
This section is not objectional and
might produce good results. but the
second section would, If adopted. en-
act into law a gag rule" similar to
the executive orders issued by ex-
President Roosevelt and President
Taft relative to the activities Of civil
service employees.
The section reads: 1T shall be un-
lawful for employees of the govern
ment or Of the District Of Columbia,
including policemen and f1remen, to
give promise or contribute any money
or thing of value for lobbying
through congress for their benefit,
and any promise or contract to SO
contribute is hereby declared void as
against public policy
This section is extremely vicious
and ought to be and probably will
be defeated. The idea that an en-
ploye, simply because he may be in
the government service, should be de-
prived of his natural rights, Is not
popular one, and no doubt Con-
gressman Prouty will eventually be
apprised of this fact by his con-
stituent trade unionists Of Des Moines
Iowa.
