GET BACK
TO OLD SHOP RULES
Union Shop in Ascendency-Many
New Members Join
Union.

The Painters union is coming back
to it's own. Ever since the lockout
of 1907 this union has been the main
sufferer in the union labor cause OF
Duluth. In April last the union de-
cided to make new effort to
strengthen itself. John Jensen Was
chosen business agent and since that.
time he has brought into the union
68 new members.
. Union shop agreements have been
made with nine firms which now en-
ploy only members Of the Painters
union and in which no non-union
painters are employed.
In all Of the other shops the ma
jority of the workmen are members
Of the union. Indeed, it is stated by
the union that "a per cent of the
painters in Duluth are. union men.
The Hamm Brewing company is
building hotel on the corner of Sixth
avenue West and Superior street. The
contract provides that only union men
should be employed in the construc-
ton Of the building. The firm Of
John Hogan & Co., has secured the
contract for the painting and decorat-
ing. This has been an open shop
since 1907. On this job at least the
| firm will be obliged to employ only
union men.

HARPOONING WHALES.

AS whaling is rapidly becoming an
extinct industry, the reproduction Of
this adventurous vocation which Ly-
man H. Howe will present at the
Lyceum theater on Nov. II, 1S, 10
and 20, is invaluable in a historic
sense. The films which Mr.. Howe
shows are mute witnesses of what has
always been a most picturesque, as
we'll as perilous calling. The scenes
take the audience on board a typical
whaler which proceeds on a cruise
in search Of the leviathans of the
deep. Presently a whale of great
size is sighted in the distance wildly
plunging through the rolling sea.
This is the signal for great activity on
board during which the spectators
obtainvery close views of the harpoon
and other equipment. Then the 1ar-
poon is fired and as the formidable
weapon finds it's mark, the whale, in
it's furious efforts to escape, lashes the
sea into foam. After a fierce COM
bat with his aSsailants, the huge
monster is toWed alongside the ship
and it is finally landed on shore. Here
the interesting processes of dressing
the now stiff and rigid mountainous
mass for it's many commercial uses is
shown in detail. powerful steam
winch is pressed into service to peel
off the eight-inch thickness of blub-
Der.

the American Federation of Labor,
which convenes in Rochester, N. Y,

A general resume of the accom-

American Federation of Labor still
forging ahead. While there have
been many wage contests and other
obstacles, yet this report shows that
material progress has been made.
The history of the past year is in
teresting, and shows that the gen.
eral labor movement of. this country
is not only virile, but is aggressive
in reaching out to secure betterments
for those already organized, as well
as entering the fields where large
bodies of men ket remain morgan
lied.
These reports, subsequent to the
opening of the convention, will be
given wide publicity.

JACKSONVILLE, Nov. 7.-Organ-
izer William E. Terry has just sue
ceeded in organizing a local union Of
street car men with charter list of
131, with a prospect Of securing prac1
tically all the men employed upon the
system.
AS usual, the management Of the
street car company commenced the
tactics employed by traction corpora
tions-to foment trouble to destroy
the organization.
In consequence. the employees are
on strike to preserve their organiza-
ton and to establish their right to ex-
ercise the prerogatives of American
citizens, with the chances of success
exceedingly favorable.
Terry has also organized a local
union of colored linemen and in
stalled union of laborers at St.
Augustine.
The city of Jacksonville at the
present time is we'll organized, every
trade in the city having secured prac-
tically all the members in the craft
and this fact has had salutary ef-
feet upon wages, hours and conditions

erhood of Carpenters and Joiners, has
written letters to a number of his
Duluth friends urging them to vote
for James Kirby as general president

states:
HE is a broad-minded fellow, hav-
ing held many offices in the Carpen-
ters' union in the past few years
He was president of the Building
Trades department Of the American

tiers were suspended at the St.'Louis
convention Of the department in 1910,
when on that account he had to re-
tire. He has had much experience
in the labor movement and is there
fore quite capable of filling the office

TAKES RESPONSIBLE
POSITION IN CANADA

Miss Eva Mahr Recap, Bridgeton
young lady, leaves today for Edmon-
ton, in the Province of Alberta, Can
ada, where she accepts a very respon-
sible position.
For more than eight years Miss
Recap has been in the employ of the
Philadelphia Billposting Company,
and has had absolute charge of the
many thousands of square feet of bill
board space controlled by this COM
pany. Every piece of paper posted
on the boards, whether for the largest
circus, or theatrical production, down
to the display advertising of the small
est seller, is assigned space through
her department
Miss Recap is the only lady in the
United States to hold such a position,
and her success with the Philadelphia
company has resulted in a more at
tractiye offer in the far northwest.
From Philadelphia, Miss Recap goes
direct to Chicago, then to st. Paul,
Mimi, and then to Winnepeg, Canada,
and from there to the extreme North
Western part of Canada, where she
will be located at Edmonton.
At this time of the year, the sun does
not set in Edmonton until after eleven
O'Clock at night, and then there is only
about three hourse of darkness. 1t is
the intention of Miss Recap to remain
in Canada for at least two, and pos
sibly three years, and before returning
to the States, she will continue her
trip up into Alaska.
Her many friends in this section
bespeak her success in her new fields
of labor.
