Herbert s. Warren, general mar
aEcr oe t''e Dulu'h Stree Railway
company and Tom Wood, the attor-
ney for the company seem to think,
or at least they are endeavoring to
convey the impression that the dis
content existing among the street
railway employees is due to "meddle-
some interference" by Socialists and
the men of labor who day in and day
out are fighting the cause Of the
working classes.
They cannot imagine that the men
in their employ who are obliged to
tolerate slave-like conditions would
have the courage to protest openly or
secretly against a situation that to
most workingmen would be intoler-
able. But the worm sometimes
turns.
In this case the street railway en-
ployes have quietly appointed a COM
m;ttee to represent them and voice
their protest against an industrial
situation that Is most revolving. Even
this committee does not dare to per-

ST. PAUL, May 23.-(Special Cor
respondent. .)-Governor Eberhart is
furnishing the political sensation Of
the past week. He has finally sue
ceeded in eclipsing even the excite
ment raised by the friends of Colonel
Roosevelt in Minnesota. Following
upon the heels Of the Republican
State Convention in which the old
State organization was practically eli
minated, the Governor announced
that he would call an extra session
of the legislature to convene June
4th for the purpose Of preparing and
passing a state wide primary bill.
There are various reasons given for
the Governors change of heart.
Has Changeof Heart.
In the past he has ignored every
appear made to him for an extra
session or the ground that public
sentiment did not favor such an act
on his part. Some say that the
Governor has experienced a change
of heart-others that he was forced
10 yield to public clamor favorable
to primary bill. Still others that
he issued a statement in the effect
that he would call a special session
in a moment of panic; that Ed Smith
lost his head and advised this move
without consulting with the interests
which are and have been, behind
Governor Eberhart 1t Is very prob
able that the last is the true reason
for the calling Of the special session.
We fear, however, that. when, the
situation has been canvassed Gov
ernor Eberhart and his Immediate ad-
visors will regret bitterly their hasty
action AS a matter of fact the Gov
ernor has nothing to gain and every
thing to lose in the calling of an ex-
ira session. The body is hostile to
him. It contains in the Senate Lieu
tenant Governor Gordon, a rival can
didate' for gubernatorial honors, who
will see to it that the Governor reap
no particular advantage from the
Legislature meeting, and in the house
l.. G.. SpoOner, another candidate, will
be on guard with like purpose.
Many Bills to Come Up.
1t is not reasonable to suppose that
when the Legislature convenes in ex-
ira session it's labor will be confined
to the passage of the primary bill
Its first act will probably be the in

looms the bill increasing the gross

GOLDEN RULE WOULD
SETTLE CAR TROUBLE
Union Worhngmen Of Duluth in
Mass Meeting Call Upon
Manager Warren.

That organized labor desires to be
fair in it's attitude towards the Off
cials of the Duluth Street Railway
company was evidenced by the tone
of the resolutions passed at the big
mass meeting held at Moose hall on
Tueday evening. '. -,..1. ~>~ ~ s~s SO H~-
The resolutions contained no
threat, but just modest appeal to
Mr.. Warren to condescend to meet
with a committee of his employees.
They simply asked that the Golden
Rule be made to fit the present sit
uation. The resolutions were as fol-
lows:
WHEREAS, We have been reliably
informed that the employees of the
Duluth Street Railway company are
polling tn system for the purpose of
calling a strike, if necessary, to OBJ
tain for them increased wages, an
adjustment Of working hours and a
sanitary waiting room, and
Men Cannot Complain.
WHEREAS, 1t is reported that
said employees Of the Duluth Street
Railway company, through fear of
discharge from the service, are re-
! strained from presenting their de-
mands 20 the general manager Of the
! company, whose long practiced pol

! ployer to receive committee OF
employees under penalty of loss OF
jobs on the part of committee men
savors of human slavery and it not in
| keeping with the spirit Of the Twen.

relations between the employer and
employe should be. and
! WHEREAS, We know something
| OF the seriousness of a strike; of the
sacrifices laborers and their families
nut make; Of the Inconvenience tc
the public, and Of the cost to the city
and the company, and
Want Strike Averted.
WHEREAS, We believe that .

the company giving public assurance
that IT will receive committee OF
the employees and not discriminate
against any, chosen to represent thei]
fellow workmen on said committee
and by giving further assurance ii
the event of failure to arrive at al
amicable adjustment by conciliation
that the matters in dispute be sub
m1tted to arbitration, now therefor,
be it Nm.
RESOLVED, That we, the workin,
men of Duluth, in mass meeting as
sembled, hereby call upon the man
agement of the Duluth Street Rail

mands. We offer the Golden Rule

OWNERSHIP BY CITY
NEXT STEP TO TAKE
Street Railway Owners Exact the
Pound of Flesh and Give
Little to Labor.

A large number Of people outside
of the ranks of labor are declaring
for the scalp of Herbert S. Warren,
manager of the Duluth Street Railway
company. Possibly a new manager
with better understanding of the
present day labor situation would help
some, but it would not get at the
meat of the cOcOanut.
Duluth is a mighty progressive
city. The people own their own gas
and water plant. They will in the
near future have control Of the cleo
trio lighting plant, and now why
should not the next move be for
the ownership Of the street railway
system. 1t will be the most profitable
investment of all.
When private company can show
such immense earnings with its top
heavy capitalization of more than
one half In water, as the Duluth
Street Railway company is able to
show, what would the city be able
to do. We could ride for three
cent fare, we could pay our employees
at least a living wage.
Now all together. The next move
is for the municipal ownership of
the street railway system. Present
conditions are intolerable. The COM
pany fails to adapt itself to the
growing needs Of the city. 1t employs
it's laborers for mere pittance, and
1t sends down to New York and Tor
onto every year more money in in
terest and dividends in wages. Why
not keep all of this money in Du-
luth? &
Municipal ownership Is the remedy
for the present situation. Let every
friend Of the cause speak up and be
heard. Forget the long time fran
chise; it will not be worth the paper
upon which it is written when the
people decide to take ouer the system

tions of the city where transportation
facilities are necessary. But they
have patiently Abided their time in
the hope that the company would
in the fullness of time, give them re-
lief. This company is under many
obligations to the people Of this city
an dit behooves it to not overdo the
situation.
The people who ride on street cars
naturally have sympathy for the con-
ductors and the motormen at this
time. They are more than interested
in their welfare because they have
knowledge of the injustices to which
they are subjected. Indeed, they can
not help but notice the large num-
ber of new men employed and to
ask what has become Of so many of
the old men.
We have all experienced ,of late
much rough riding while cars are
in motion and we have felt the sud-
den jars when they stop. We have
seen women thrown from the aisles
out into the vestibules Of the street
cars because Of the fact that un-
trained and unskilled motormen are
operating them, and they have not
yet learned how to properly bring the
cars to stop. The safety of the rid

the Public Interest As Have the

Long Career of Petty Tyranny
Restraints Dissatisfied Employees
From Presenting Their Griey-
ances in Person to Manager
Warren for Consideration.

Duluth is on the Threshold of
great street railway strike. Perhaps
the general public does not yet ap-
tion, but nevertheless a strike is emf
by Mr.. Warren.
The men of labor prominently men,
toned in the daily papers who are
speaking for the street railway en-
ployes, are not attempting to provoke
a strike. On the contrary they are
doing everything within their power
to head it off. However, there are
some things worse than strike and
one Of them is an enslaved laborer
who dares not say that his soul is his
own for fear that he will loe his
chance to earn livelihood for his
family
We Don't Want Strike
We do not want a street railway
strike in Duluth. We trade union
lists know in advance what it will
mean to everybody. The street rail-
way company will be the least ef-
fected by cessation of traffic. The
employees and their families will be
required to make many sacrifices.
The public will be disconnected.
Business will be affected. The city
will be put to expense it can i'll af-
ford to meet to furnish proper police
protection for life and property.
We do not ask the Duluth Street
Railway company1or Herbert s.: War
rem at this time to grant one concesI
sion to the motormen and conductors.
All We ask Is that Mr.. Warren will
agree to meet with a committee of
his employees and that he will pledge
himself in advance that he will not
remove from the service of the COM
pany any person now in his employ
for making protest against working
conditions that now obtain.
Can Mr.. Warren Refuse?
We further ask in the event this
committee and Mr.. Warren fail to
reach an amicable understanding that
the matters in dispute be submitted
to arbitration. Can Mr.. Warren re-
fuse such a modest request?
Can the Duluth Street Railway
company afford to place itself on
! record against treating and meeting
with a committee of it's employees
This is no trade union fight. There
| is no demand for the union shop, for
| the CLOSED" shop or for the "open''
shop. It is simply a fight for ordi-
nary human rights in which the in
| terests of no institution or organi-
! zation are involved.
We plead the cause Of the street
railway men Of Duluth for the rea-
son that there is no other agency to
speak for them. We know Herber,
S. Warren. We know why he was
sent from Minneapolis, after the
street railway strike there, to Du.
luth to crush union here amons
the street railway men, and we know
too, that there has been lapse OF
time of 13 years since he succeeded

union of, this citysssand since then
most employers Of labor in the United
States have; learned chat there-is 8
labor question, and the, only way to
head off strikes and to-, bring about
peace and good will in industry is to
deal fairly with their employees.
On every railway system in the
United States wherever a committee
can show to the management it rep
resents more than 50 per cent of the
employees in any class, that commit
tee Is given respectful hearing and
is recognized as the duly accredited
representative of all the employees in
that class.
This manner of treating with en-
ployes through committees is gener-
ally recognized on the street railway
systems of the United States and
about the only exceptions are the
companies which operate in the Twin
Cities and Duluth and Superior.
No Prejudice Against Company.
The people of Duluth who ride up
on street cars know full we'll that the
conductors and motormen are n 1T
sufficiently paid and they are re-
qu1red to work under conditions that
are far from fair. They do not SYM
pathize with the arbitrary and tyran-
nical attitude Of Mr.. Warren, They
know that his methods are obsolete
and but relics of the cruel master
and slave days that were.
Few people in Duluth are preju-
diced against the Duluth Street Rail-
way company on the mere fact that
it Is privately owned public serv-
ice corporation. The people here
have been more than kind to this
company. It has stubbornly refused
to extend it's lines into various por-
