The interests that are " moving
heaven and earth as it were to secure
the election of Judge Bum to the
supreme court are also busily engaged
in attempting to defeat Judge Charles
W. Stanton for chief justice Of the
supreme court. When Justice Start
withdrew from the race petitions were
circulated about the state for a new
man: to take his place. =
{. The editor of The Labor World was
asked to sign one of the petitions in
Duluth. AS we examined the petition
we found that it was printed upon the
letter head Of the Duluth Street Rail-
way Company and when we called
attention to the gentleman asking us
to sign: a petition to this fact, we were
informed that the petition was drawn
up in the office of one of, the attor-

Parties Will Support
r." Judge Hallam:


Judge Oscar Hallam Of St. Paul,
candidate for justice Of the supreme
court, is developing considerable
strength in Duluth and St. Louis
county. Last week Mr.. C.. G.. Kinney,
a clean-cut and able young attorney
from st. Paul, visited among a num-
Der of lawyers and other people in
Duluth and organized a good move
ment here in Judge Hallam's behalf.
Judge Hallam is opposing the can
didacy of Judge Bum, the present in
cumbent, who was appointed by Gov.
Eberhart to succeed the late Justice
Jaggard. The labor Organizations of
Minnesota, and particularly the Trade
and Labor Assembly of St.: Paul, are
taking exceptional interest in the can
d1dacy of Judge Hallam and are just
as strongly opposing Judge Bunn.
1t Is declared that Judge Bum was
appointed to his position by Gov.
Eberhart at the solicitation Of the
railroad interests of this state. It is
further said that his training and en-
Vironment make him a "safe" man on
the supreme bench for the railroads
and other special interests.
On Side of The People.
On the other hand Judge Hallam's
record from boyhood up shows that
he has always been on the side of the
people. In commenting upon his can
didacy the Minnesota Union Advocate
OF st. Paul, one of the strongest Ia
Dor papers in the country, has this to
say of Judge Hallam:
During his long course on the
bench Judge Oscar Hallam has been
at all times close to the people OF
Ramsey county, and his pulse has al.
ways beat in full sympathy with thei,
rights, their aspirations for advance
ment and their general welfare in

Organized Labor 1t Is

1nsomuch as the members of the Du-
luth Real Estate Exchange have insti-
tuted boycott against the trade un-
ions of Duluth organized labor ought
to fight back with as much viEor as
1t possesses and its members in the
future should refuse to buy any in
surance, negotiate any loans or pur-
chase any real estate from any mem
ber of such a closed shop institution
as the Duluth Real Estate Exchange.
A fight such as this would not only
be supported by the men Of labor, but
by the larger group Of Independent
citizens of Duluth who are tired Of
the methods and tactics of this or
ganization. The curse Of Duluth is

IRON MOLDERS KILL
"BOGY" RESOLUTION

WASHINGTON, Oct. 24.-At the
convention Of the International Iron
Molders' Union, held at Milwaukee,
resolutions were introduced denounc-

forbidding members Of that organiza-
tion the right to hold membership in
the union and the National Civic Fed

It IS stated that these resolutions
precipitated very warm debate, but

At a meeting held last Monday a
resolution was adopted in. opposition
to the passage of: the Motormen's Ii
cense Ordinance: and committee was
appointed to meet the members of the
council and lobby against the meas
ure.
They have not the courage to come
out in the open and fight like men so
that their mysterious position may be
challenged: They work in, the dark
and under cover and resort to argu-
ment that is far fetched and mislead-
ing. They are resorting to practically
the same despicable tactics they used
during the lockout in 1907.
Duluth a Closed Town.
They then made the fight for the
"open shop in the building industry
and in doing so, they made this a
closed shop city for the real estate
business. Every little while some of
the members of the Exchange are
opening up new additions far remov-
ed from the center of the city and are
attempting to play off upon the work
ingmen, whose enemies they are,
small tracts Of land at practically ex-
tortionate prices.
The persistent opposition Of the
real estate exchange to the members
Of organized labor in Duluth has re-
solved itself into q challenge, and an
excellent opportunity is now afforded
the workingmen Of this city to accept
It.

We don't like to fight. We will go

SAY BND is NEAR
IN BRITISH STRIKE
General Impression Is that Miners
Will Start to Work Saturday.
Government Bill Inadequate.
By WILLIAM II. STEAD.

London, March 1e.-The first attempt
made by the British government to settle
the Industrial dispute by agreement met
with a very feeble support in the House
Of Commons
The wage bill is limited 10 three years.
II provides for, without defining a fixed
minimum. a reasonable wage for min
ers underground. Aged and infirm min
ers are exempted. The minimum is to be
settled by joint district boards with an
independent chairman. No penalties are
imposed for disobedience.
The only safeguard against malinger-
ing is a clause depriving miner who
does not comply, with the conditions OF
the contract Of the right to the minimum
wage.
Mr.. Thomas, leader Of the extremist
coal owners. said the bill was much what
he expected.
THE safeguards are illusory," Ramsey
Mcdonald, the leader OF the labor party.
told me. The insistence on the insertion
of five shillings would cover the bill" He
spoke warmly In its favor.
The chief feature OF the debate was
the bitter manifestation Of class feeling
on the part Of tn, opposition. The speech
Of II. Donar Law. the Unionist leader,
suggesting. without proposing. a confis-
cation OF trade unions and making strikes
a criminal offense. was rapturously
cheered by his supporters whose hostility
TO labor Is most marked.
Premier Asquith's speech was dignified
and remarkable for its confident tone. and
made an excellent impression on the
house.
The ministers withheld judgment until
the meeting of the executive committee,
which began its session at o'clock. A
copy of the bill was circulated. The gen.
eral impression Is that the ground Is Civ
ing way under the feet of the strikers,
and, knowing this. they will welcome the
bill as a way Of escape with honor from
a situation becoming desperate.
As piece OF coerciNe legislation, the
bill disappoints. II compels no owner to
open his pit and leaves the workmen free
10 refuse TO work. The only stipulation
is that II the pit is opened, the miner who
descends must be paid not less than the
minimum wage fixed by the district
board. in which the independent chair
man must have the deciding vote.
The miners fear the arbitrary authority
OF the chairman, and may ask compulsory
The executive committee OF the miners
out having come to any decision.
The general impression tonight Is that
the strike will be over Saturday. woman's
suffrage day, which was reluctantly sac
rificed by Asquith under pressure from
Bonar Law. The women consequently are
irritated and indignant.

The track team will greatly miss the

matriculation at Georgetown was while
a member OF one Of the big Northern
colleges, where he became a star at
