JOHN MITCHELL MAY
LECTURE IN DULUTH

ing Date Here for Great
Mine Leader.

Lee Keedfck, conductor of a New
York lecture lyceum, is endeavoring
to make date in Duluth some time
In January for John Mitchell, FORM
er president Of the United Mine
Workers and second, vice president
Of the American Federation Of Labor.
Mr.. Mitchell spoke in Superior last
March. Members Of Duluth unions
have talked for some time of getting
him In Duluth. but up to date nothing
has been done.
Mr.. Mitchell has two lectures. one
on the philosophy purpose and ideals
Of the trade union movement and the
other on Industrial accidents: their
prevention and compensation to
workmen for losses caused by them.
He is an eloquent speaker and his
presentation of the principles of trade
unionisn is said to be the strongest
ever made from a. lecture PLATFORM.
1t is to be hoped that an organized
effort will be made by the working
men Of Duluth to get Mr.. Mitchell
here next month.

Duluth firm at least is said to have
removed card which they displayed
IN their store to the effect that none

This is the first effect Of the intro

Down in Minneapolis an effort was
being made to unionize the men en-
ployed in the saddlery factory of Dod-

bers were secured from this shop and
things were running along smoothly
until last Monday six members of the
union were called to the office and
told that unless they gave up their
union they would be given three min
utes to get out Of the shop. Natur-
ally, they stood by the organization
and lockout followed.

exhibiting marked tact and ability
rarest of traits in public officials who
are called upon to perform unpleas-
ant duties-moral courage.
Many young boys and girls in this
city will be singing their praises for
Miss Poirier during the rest Of their
lives. She had heart interest in
her work, and many times when she
found child compelled to work be-
cause Of the poverty Of it's parents,
rather than permit a violation Of the
child labor law, the big-hearted fac
tory inspector would send the child
back to school and from her own
meager salary would send to the par
ents every week the amount Of money
the child would have earned had it
remained at work: It is said that
Miss Poirier spent more than half
her income in taking care of chill
dren in this manner.
Friend of Everyone.
In addition to her duties as fac
tory inspector she took an active in
terest in all movements that had for
their purpose the welfare of women
and children. During the past two
years few people would have known
that the Bureau of Labor had any
representative in its factory inspet-
ton department in Duluth were it not
for Miss Poirier.
Whoever is responsible for Miss
Poirier's removal from the Bureau of
Labor is playing a game of cheap
peanut politics that ought to be re-
sented by every person in Duluth who
believes in the square deal, particu-
larly In such non-political positions
as that of state factory inspector for
women and children.
How do the club women Of Duluth
like this kind of game? How do
the factory girls like it, all of whom
swear by Miss Poirier as they never
have by any other person in such a
position.

Miss Jean Poirier, state factory in

Of the Bureau of Labor, will leave her

she is being removed from office for

Miss Poirier was appointed to her

a single Endorsement from any person
or institution in the state. For many

STEEL Corporation
TO INCREASE WAGES
Local Officials Announce That
Lowest Paid Laborers Will
Get Best Raise,

The local officers Of the United
States Steel corporation announced on
Christmas day that large number of
It's employees would receive a. SUBJ
stantial increase in wages during the
coming year. It is stated that the
lowest paid men will enjoy the larg-
est increase.
NO announcement was made Of the
amount of the proposed raise in
wages. The lowest paid men on the
iron ranges receive 1910 per day.
The1r employment is not continuous
and they lose considerable time dur
ing the year. This kind Of labor is
not generally employed during the
winter, and whatever increase ia
granted will not be enjoyed until the
spring work begins.
There is said to be a scarcity of the
Kind Of unskilled labor used in the
mines and steel mills. It is said that
In the Pittsburgh district alone there
Is shortage of $4,000 laborers. The
recent announcement of the officials
OF the steel trust, it is believed. is
made necessary to obtain a sufficient
NUMBER OF laborers to do it's work.
However, the people of this portion
OF Minnesota are gratif1ed to know
that an Increase in wages is volun-
tar1ly made at this time. A year ago
all underground miners were p1aced
on the eight-hour day. This was
good news to Minnesota worknen and
now that an increase in WAGES ia to
follow, it indicates that neither tho
business nor the labor interests have
anything to fear from Threatened
