MAIL CARRIERS PROVE
ABILITY TO ENTERTAIN

One Of the most successful social
events of the present season was the
Letter Carriers ball which was held
at the Armory Tuesday evening.
The big hall was we'll filled with
a large crowd Of people who seemed
to thoroughly enjoy themselves The
music was of the best and the floor
shone in it's brilliancy.
1t is estimated that there were
1900 pople in the armory. The big
hall was crowded to capacity. Every.
body was in a most happy mood and
1.-The more the merrier spirit seemed
to predominant.
Pauls orchestra furnished the
music which was of high class. Mr.
Paul is a local mail carrier.
The Letter Carriers organization
in Duluth is a strong one and from
the turnout, the men have grea
number of friends.
The committee in charge Of thu
affair consisted Of:

CONDITION SERIOUS
IN WESTERN STATES
Thousands of Men Said to Be
Roaming About in Quest
of Jobs.

Through the daily press, monthly
on the billboards, Oregon and it's
chief metropolis, Portland, have been
widely advertised as a land Of golden
opportunities, where jobs are plenti-
full and men are scarce. wages high
and living cheap. These highly COL
ored statements are untrue. The true
condition Of the industrial affairs here
in Portland and Oregon is far differ
ent.
There are, in Portland alone,
10000 idle men, skilled and unskilled,
! destitute and begging for bread or a
chance to earn bread, the larger pOr-
ton of whom are new arrivals in this
. country lured hither by the false adj
vertisements Of the open shop en-
ployers and the greedy land sharks,
both Of whom are DESTROYS of beating
down the wages now maintained by
organized labor, wages that are very
moderate considering the cost of liv-
ing.
In many instances men have taken
large families to this new country OF
; undeveloped resources. only to be
| compelled to ask the city and county
officials to give them the bread to
keep their loved ones from the awful
i bangs Of starvation.
This condition is prevalent over al
! Oregon. From the widely advertised
Medford in southern Oregon, a city
of $1,000 inhabitants, comes the mes
sage that thousand men are unem-
ployed in that tOWn-no chance tC

Eugene FOUCAU[T
MEETS HORRIBLE END
Well Known Local Union Man
Falls From High Bridge
to His Death

Eugene Foucault, a well known
| union man of the city, employed on
the new 500 bridge at Boyleston,
lost his life Tuesday when he fell
SO feet to the ground, breaking both
arms and legs.
Mr. Foucault lived with his family,
a wife and three children at 2O28 West
Second street., He was "a years old,
a. staunch union believer, hard,
honest workman, and the news If
his terrible death will be regretted
;, by scores of friends.
The exact way in which the acct
dent happened is not known. He was
working as a riviter and none Of his
fellow workmen saw him fall
An Inspector, looking or from
some distance saw him as he was
falling and yelled: man fell" but
when fellow workmen reached the
spot Foucault was dead. AS near us
! can be learned he lost his balance
and fell to the ground, a distance of
SO feet from the scaffold which was.
it is said, unguarded.
Foucault was In the employ of the
Kelly-Atkinson company of Chicago,
who have the contract for the new
bridge over the Nemadji river.
He was an enthusiastic member of
the Structural Iron Workers union
and was considered a very careful
workman, taking as few chances with
accident as possible.
Mr.. Foucault had lived in the West
End and West Duluth for the past
twenty years. His parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. Joseph Foucault, formerly lived
at West Duluth but about a year ago
they removed to California.
Besides being prominent in labor
circles, Mr.. Foucault was a member
of several lodges, and civic societies.

A famine IN LEATHER
WILSON Be UPON is
Dealers All Over the Country Say
That Hides Are Becom-
ing Scarce.

Duluth shoe merchants say that
five years from now people will be
wearing sandals, mocasins, wooden
shoes, or else going barefoot, if
ranchers in the west don't teach
their cattle to grow bigger hides and
take care of the ones they have.
There is a famine in hides, they
say, and there must either be SUBJ
stitute for leather invented, or there
will be return to the days of the
barefoot boy.
Already prices have advanced. Re-
tail dealers say that by spring, prices
will have advanced from Is cents to
quarter on pair of shoes. Leather
is said to be deteriorating rather
than improving in quality; and deal
ers point to the time when leather
shoes will not be on the market.
II suppose We shall have to invent
substitute for leather said a local
dealer.
1T would be hard to find. Farm
ers are raising cattle for the pur-
pose of marketing leather. The
healthy cattle from the western
ranches are no longer produced. The
same is true of goats SKINS"
Another does not believe that the
United tSates will be sold out of
shoes in five years; but he believes
the famine is on it's way-"There is
no question that prices are advance
ing" he said. 'They will be much
higher after the introduction of new
stock. Prices have been advancing
for several years, but will take a
bigger advance this year."

Organize! Street Car Men, Organize!
Therein Lies Your Only Hope For More Pay

The street car men who are urg-
ing the public to secure for them d
much needed wage increase will find
that the Duluth Street Railway COM
pany believes it is so completely en-
trehched in Duluth by long time
ranchise-Which We do not believe is
worth the paper it is written on down
in St. Paul-it will continue the same
public bedamned policy it has pur-
sued for more than fifteen years.
The street car men will also find
that over-capitalized corporations and
some others, are more interested in
fat dividends than they are in living
wages for their employees, and the
Duluth Street Railway company is no
exception to the rule.
Don't Come on Silver Platter
The men will further find, unless
precedent is disregarded, that mater
ial increases in wages to workingmen
are not generously handed to them
on silver platters by modern corpora
tons. Public sympathy, popular
pleading and letters in newspapers
will prove to be of little avail.
Letters have been published in the
Duluth Evening Herald for some time
by street car men asking for public
assistance but we have not heard Of
any popular uprising on the part Of
the masses and surely not on the
part of business men for an increase
in wages for the street car men Of
this city.
Socialists Beautiful Picture.
Socialistic enthusiasts have urged
the men to vote the Socialist ticket
and they soon will be delivered to
that beautiful industrial land of
Canaan where labor will be free.
But in the meantime workingmen
must eat and provide for their fam
lies.
Why is it that the street car en-
ployees are afraid Of trade union,
when it has long proved to be the
only working class organization that
has ever fed a hand, clothed a body
and secured a measure Of industrial
freedom for labor?
The formation of trade union
does not necessarily mean a strike.
In most cases it is the thing that
can avoid a strike. It is the one in
stitution that employers do not want

LOOKS LIKE BIG STRIKE.

LONDON, Feb 22.-A conference
of the representatives of 100000
coal miners in the United Kingdom,
held in London recently, confirmed
the decision reached by recent ballot
to bring about a national stoppage
of work in the coal mines February
20, unless in the meantime the mine
owners accept the principle Of a
minimum wage for all men and boys
employed underground. Upwards
of 100000 miners employed in the
mines in Derbyshire have handed in
their notices to quit work and i'm
mense numbers are doing likewise in
other districts.

N0TEDC0NTEMPTCAS
IS STILL IN PROGRESS
John Mitchell Has Completed His
Acknowledgements to
Resume Stand Later.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 22-The
celebrated contempt case is still in
progress in Justice Wright's court.
John Mitchell has completed his
testimony and left the city. Secre-
tary Frank Morrison has been on the
witness stand for a considerable
length of time.
One feature of the examination Of
Mr. Morrison is worthy of note.
Attorney Davenport, for the Anti
Boycott Association, questioned him
relative to the word "allegiance,"
which occurs in the obligation of the
typographical union, of which, as all
know, Mr.. Morrison is a member.
The inference of Attorney Daven-
port was clearly to the effect that
the work ''allegiance' in >the typo
graphical obligation was inimical to
American citizenship.
The Introductory paragraph to the
typographical obligation states speci-
fically that the obligation refers only
to the printing trades, and by no
stretch of imagination could the obi
cation be construed as vitiating the
loyalty, fealty, or devotion Of its
members to the government of the
United States.
What is purposed by this angle in
the interrogatories is not plain, but
evidently is done to not only cloud
the situation but to imply that which
in substance is not true.
President Gompers will again go
! on the stand after Mr.. Morrison has
concluded
