Charles w. Swanson was reelected
president for the third term.
AS president of the Superior CEN

Frank Clapp was elected vice presi-

A. w. Anderson, financial secretary;
William Law, treasurer E. Crowley,

There is also communication

in full. This communication has
been handled by the press agencies
in such a manner as to amount to its
perversion or almost entire suppress

of the sentiments of people who work
close to labor.

perused by those interested in the

CHILD LABOR SUNDAY
OBSERVED IN PULP|TS
Churches in Duluth Devote Last
Sabbath to Study of Great
Social Problem.
Strong Sermons Are Preached.
Public Conscience Is Being
Tardily Aroused.

Last Sunday was Child Labor Sun
day and Duluth ministers at the re-
quest of the National committee for
the prevention Of child labor, took
up the matter for discussion at the
morning services.
Duluth ministers realize and ap-
preciate, evidently, the value of dis
continuing child labor. They believe
with all other thinking people that
to be a strong, healthy, rugged ma
ton, this country must face about
in it's attitude on social conditions.
When notified of the movement
and of the Sunday that had been set
aside for messages to the people, tell
ing them of the dangers of the pres
ent system and urging reform, large
proportion of Duluth pastors laid
aside the topic chosen for last Sun
day, believing that they could do more
good by strong sermon on child
labor.
This action on the part of the Du-
luth men is appreciated by many out
side the labor movement and as
deeply interested in the problem of
saving the children and educating
them. The founders of the move
ment, the labor organizations, too,
appreciate the taking up Of the matter
by the Minister'S
Being limited as to space the Labor
World is not permitted to go into the
subject as deeply as we would like,
but we herewith give some of the
thoughts of Rev. George Gebaur, pas
tor of the First Unitarian church.:
thousands, perhaps millions of chill
dren who are growing up into a life
of worthlessness, shame and dis
grace, fostered by conditions alto
gether beyond the power of the child.
And so the great problem Of the day
not merely is to protect the child
against abuse, but to train it to some
use; not only to remove from it's weak
shoulders the burden of labor and
drudgery, but to put in it's place the
gentle yoke of wholesome employ
ment and education.
Thanks to the untiring efforts OF
the national child labor committee
there is today an awakening of the
public conscience in regard to this
great problem. Many of the states
have passed rational laws regulating
child labor. Minnesota in this matter
does not lag behind, but still much
remains to be done. Unfortunately
the laws in this state intended to
serve childhood are rather loosely
constructed: they invite circumven-
ton. While there exists the recog-
milton that the child has certain
rights, the state does not fully recog-
nize it's duty. The state does not
realize that it must stad in loco par.
entis whenever the natural parent
fails in his duty to rear the child
to efficient manhood.

GREED OF MONOPOLY;
FEAR BUTTER famine
Cold Storage Trust Gives It Out
That Supply of Butter Is =
Nearing End.
Prices Will Shoot Further Sky.
ward-Rich Can Pay, But
What Will Poor Do?

After Feb. 10, only millionaires will
be eating butter.
From advices received from ali
over the United States, it is claimed
that by that date the availa BILE sup
ply of butter will be exhausted.
The price will then raise rapidly
until only those Of means can afford
to have it on their tables and then
only as luxury.
Butter in Duluth at the present
time is selling retail at As cents per
pound. Eggs are retailing at AZ cents
per dozen, nearly cents each.
1t is claimed in the 50 huge cor
poration butter warehouses in the
United States, there is stored only
enough butter to last the country
until Feb. 10.
Other years at this time there was
enough butter stored to last the coun-
try until June 1. BY that time the
new butter would be. coming in. and
the situation relieved.
Prominent commission men Of Chi
cago and New York have realized
for some time that the situation was
grave. They got together in meeting
some time ago. Some wanted to raise
the price then and make "cleaning,' -
but others, more humane, asked that
prices be not raised and that the
butter on hand go at present rates.
The men who claim to know say
that a few years ago all the butter
fat of the west and the middle west
went into butter, but that now the
large cities use so much cream that
I it is hardly possible to supply even
this demand. 1t is held that there
are not enough dairy farmers.
It is claimed at Elgin, ILL.,, one OF
the greatest butter centers in the
United States, and at Chicago, Kansas
City and New York, that never has
there been such butter stringency
| than at present. It is a real butter
famine, they assert.
The greed of commission men is
also said to have a part in the cause
Of the famine that now not only
threatens the country, but which,, il
| is claimed, will soon be upon us
1t is claimed that the present sup.
ply will last but a few days after the
| first of the. new month and that there
will be no more new butter until after
the grass is green next spring.
1t is also claimed that last spring
| when butter was 25 cents a. poun6
the commission men put away man,
| thousands of pounds which they solo
| this winter at from SO to As cents
Commission men state that they
will not be surprised to see the price
| of butter go to IS cents pound.
| 1t will be up to common people tt
give up butter until the grass be-
comes green in Texas and Kansa:
in May.

These rules were drawn up by the

The proposed rules, as thus far

The manufacturers discussed the

an evident desire to cooperate with

changes to make the particular rule

Edward w. Kearney presided at the
meeting and was assisted by C. w.

The rules will be later approved

will then be put into force by the in

manufacturers in the state.
