POST GETS ANOTHER
SMASH FROM COURTS
Circuit Court of Appeals Renders
Decision Against Purveyor
Of "Gripe Nuts

WASHINGTON, Dec. SC. W.
Post. the purveyor Of "gripe nuts"
commenced suit against the Ameri-
can Federation Of Labor some months
ago, alleging damages of $4,000.
When the case came to trial in the
federal circuit court the judge threw
the case out as not having sufficient
merit to proceed with the trial. Post
Immediately appealed the case to the
federal circuit court Of appeals, and
along about last May the attorneys
of the American Federation of La
Dor made an argument before the
circuit court of appeals, asking that
the decision rendered by the lower
court in throwing the case out be
sustained by the higher court.
The circuit court of appeals has
now rendered it's decision and sus-
tanned the action of the lower court.
which, in all human probability, ends
the controversy.
While it is possible that Post, in his
ardent desire to mulct the federation,
may appeal to the supreme court, it
is not probable, in the face of two
adverse decisions, that the supreme
court would act in the matter by con-
senting to review the case.

LABOR WILL HAVE
VOICE IN CABINET
Bill Creating Department of La
Dor Will Pass Through Con-
gress This Session.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 5.-An i'm
portant readjustment of the bureaus
under the department of commerce
and labor will no doubt be the order
of the day after March 4, next.
1t appears at this time that the
bill now before the senate, creating
a department Of labor, which has
already passed the house, may re-
ceive consideration upon the recon-
vening of congress during the early
part of December.
With the passage of this legisla-
ton the bureau of labor will be abol-
ishde entirely and it's functions of
investigating industrial conditions
will be transferred to the new depart
ment of labor, and a new cabinet Of
fcer added that will be at it's head.
A portion of the functions of the
bureau of statistics, as we'll as the
new children's bureau, which was
created at the last session Of con-
gress, will be merged into the new de-
partment
Senator Borah, of Idaho, chairman
of the education and labor committee
of the senate, has the bill as passed
by the house, in charge.

President Taft To Place En-
ployes In Govt. Navy Yard
On List Before Retiring.

WASHINGTON, Dec. SIT is
likely that before March President
Taft will sign an order placing the
clerks, mechanics. and employees of
all the government navy yards of the
country under civil service. -
This statement has been given pub
licity by Assistant Secretary of the
Navy Winthrop, who has direct charge
Of the navy yards. The labor organ
izations represented in the navy yards
petitioned through their national or.
CARNATIONS. as we'll as the American
Federation of Labor, to be placed un-
der the civil service, so that the ac-
ton taken by the government is in
consoDance with the wishes of the
employees and the organizations af-
fected in the navy yards. ~
There is difficulty, however, says
Secretary Winthrop, 'in the way Of
carrying out the plan at once, or in
the very near future. for the reason
that it will be difficult to fame rules
for the conduct of the yards under
civil service. There are so many diff
ferent classes of men to take into con-
sfderation, such as clerks, machinists,
patternmakers, boilermakers, plumb
ers, and others, that much thought
will be necessary in order to evolve
some sort of a regulation that will in
sure new men coming into the yards
being fairly treated.
"As it is now, they are put on the
list with a sort of first come, first
served method, although the Spanish
war veterans under the law are given
the first chance at vacancies. Under
that law it will be necessary to con-
tinue to give these veterans the first
chance at. vacancies, but some regula-
ton will have to be framed to place
the best Of the new men applying
for vacancies in a position where they
will be among those to have first
chance"
The commandants of all the navy
yards of the country, who gathered in
Washington recently for a general
conference on the subject of navy
yard administration, submitted the
recommendation decided upon that
the employees of the yards be placed
under civil service, and the recon-
mendation was the unanimous act Of
the cOmmandants. .* +. -. . ~

NAVY YARD DEFEATS
PRIVATE CONCERNS
Washington Government Plant
Gets Important Contract-Un-
derbids All Competitors.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 5.-The Wash
ington navy yard is the lowest bidder
for the construction of the first five
inch and four-inch guns for use in the
1913 naval construction program.
Bids were asked for five five-inch
and ten four-inch guns. The WASH
ington yard was $7,202 each for the
five-tnch and $3.50 for the four nch
guns.
That the work can be performed
much cheaper in the government navy
yards than by private firms is attested
by the fact that the Bethlehem Steel
company bid $11,350 for the five-inch
guns and $3.50 for the four-inch,
while the Midvale Iron works bid
S10,95O for the five-inch and $9,2SO
for the four-inch.

While on this point it may be Well
to sound a voice of warning to the
Commercial club, the jobbers and the
real estate interests. we round in
our canvass among the Workingmen
the objections they had were not so
much to the charter itself, as to the
fear that these interests would seek

their work of harassing organized la

wages and better living conditions for

Tuesdays election has furnished an
excellent opportunity for the dawn Of
an era Of industrial peace in Duluth.
The time has come when 1t Is neces-
sary for the people of all classes to
work together for the building of
Duluth. We cannot crush any group
of our citizens without working in
jury to the whole city.
Time for Peace.
The business interests of Duluth
must learn that organized labor is
mere " stay. lCS WORK becomes more
necessary with the advent of each
year. Labor expects to continue on
its upward march. 1t would like to
do so along the lines of the least re-
sistance, but if it must engage in
warfare to carry out it's enobling
work, and there is no other way out
of it, then fight it will. 1t will not
stop to consider whether or not the
immediate result is to be success or
defeat, for it will know full we'll that
in the end it must win, for no other
reason than it is in the right.
Organized labor presents it's COM
pliments. to the commercial club, and
to the real estate: exchange, and to
the builders exchange: and. to all
other organizations Of business men
in this city. 1t wants to do the right
thing; it wants to live and let live,
and it pleads for better relations be-
tween employers and employees. With
this issue of The Labor World it
sends to all its foes a message OF
peace. How will the business inter-
ests Of this city receive it? Let their

Voters Of Duluth Overwhelming
ly Ratify the New City Charter.
It Was a Victory Worth While.
Tremendous Vote Polled at
Tuesdays Special Election.
Every Ward in the City, But the
Fourth, Favors Change-Dis-
trict Between Canal and Supe-
rior Street Seemed Devoted to
Present Aldermanic System.

The voters of Duluth have pro-
ivlded. their servants, the public off,
Gals, with new tools with which to
administer the affairs Of this city.
At Tuesdays election the new char
ter providing for the commission form
of government was ratified by a tre-
mendous majority vote. More than
three-fifths Of the citizens voting at
the election declared emphatically for
the new form of governmnt. It was
a victory worth fighting for. It. was
the triumph Of the people over the
forces that have stood for privilege
and favoritism from the peoples gov-'
ernment.
Never before have the voters of any
city gone to the polls with such a
strong determination to build anew q
local government as did the friends
oe the commission form on Tuesday.
Upon the other side the forces against
the charter worked hard and bitter
to defeat it's object. 1t was a battle
Of right over wrong, and right was
triumphant.
Fourth Ward Lost, Good Bye.
A majority Of the voters in every
ward of the city save the Fourth
voted in favor Of the charter. In the
precincts below Superior street and
above the canal on Lake avenue there
was not a sufficient number of votes
cast in favor of the charter to war;
rant counting. The tremendous op-
position in these two precincts could
not be overcome by the other pre-
cincts of the ward.
It was for the First ward to save
the day, where the friends of the
charter outnumbered it's opponents by
a vote Of to 1. In the fifth pre-
cinct of the First ward 553 voted in
favor Of the charter, while but Al
votes were cast against it Without
this precinct the charter would prob
ably have been lost.
The only outward opposition came
from the Socialist leaders, but they
were not the real factors in the
fight. Indeed, when the time came
to vote, the Socialists of this city
were so divided it Is believed that
as many voted for the charter as
against it. In one precinct where 80
Socialist votes were cast last fall
only 81 votes were registered against

TRENTON, N. j., Dec. Sowing
to the fact that the law in this state,
restricting the hours of labor for

in the rooms of the Y. w. c. A. by
the lady clerks.
This meeting was called by action
of the industrial secretary of the Y.
w. G.. A. and number of leading ac-
tive trade unionists were invited to
attend. Advice was given to the lady
clerks that if it were expected to en-
force the law it would be necessary
to organize clerks union. This
meeting resulted in arrangements be-
ing made for another meeting, and
the second meeting has just been held
and a temporary organization formed
and officers elected. Committees were
appointed for the purpose of interest
ing all the lady clerks in the city.
The people of this city are heartily
in accord with the law and active sup
port will be forthcoming from all
quarters in the effort of these women
to compel all employers Of clerks to
obey the ten-hour law This is an
other instance that clearly shows the
absolute necessity of the maintenance
of trade union organization in Dr.

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 5.-A to-

5fining company by local magistrate,
although 1t was conclusively proven
by the Consumers league that seven
girls under 1s years Of age have been
employed at the refinery all night in
defiance of the state factory laws.
It seems that it has been the prac-
tice of this company to pay no heed
to the law against employing women
below certain age at night work.
The Consumers league is making
every effort to eradicate the system Of
working girls at night and asserts
that it stands ready to obtain new

the charter on Tuesday.
1t is thought that a majority of
the trade unionists of this city sup
ported the: charter. The hundreds Of
letters received from the officials of
central labor bodies in cities having
the commission form of government
had their influence upon the men
of labor in Duluth. With few ex-
ceptions the writers of these letters
declared the commission form to be
preferable to the aldermanic system.
This assertion removed much of tho
doubt existing in the minds of many
Duluth workingmen about the COM
mission form of government.
Since the election many citizens
have been mentioned as commission
ers. It is really too early in the
game to discuss candidates at this
time. We ought to let the charter
rest while and at the proper time
take up the discussion of candidates.
No person can file for office earlier
than 40 days prior to the election, so
there is yet|plenty Of time to con-
slider the availability of men.
The Labor World Endorsed.
The Labor WYrld feels that it has
been heartily s:rEso1sed by the voters
of Duluth and particularly by the
workingmen. We tried to make a
clean fight. We took up the cause of
the commission form at a tim& when
we stood along among the represen-
tt,tives of the working classes of this
city for this new idea. Where there
was not opposition there was skep-
tism. In the contest the union work
ingmen of Duluth held the balance
Of power and that they used it wisely

PERKINS IS ISSUE
WITH BULL @h|00sERS
|'Progressives' Would Depose
Him As Third Party Leader,
But He Furnished the Corn.

WASHINGTON, Dec.s Sit de-
velops that during the last two weeks
the proposal to depose George w.
party has been the subject Of an
exchange Of correspondence between
men prominent in the new party.
Persons who occupy rather COM
manding positions in the Bull Moose
organizations said today that. it
seemed to be settled that Perkins
would not be disturbed. Hiram w.
Johnson, governor Of California, was
one Of the first men consulted when
this question as to what should be
done with Perkins came up, and one
of the governors friends here said
today that he had written a long let
ter defending Perkins and insisting
that he is the man to have charge Of
the party organization during The
next two or possibly four years.
Perkins Furnished the Money.
This letter will, it is stated, be read
cago, Dec. 10-11, if the occasion for
reading 1t arises.
There is still good deal Of doubt
as 10 IHe SITeHSlA OF the 1aCClOn OF the
new party that would depose Perkins.
The information obtainable here
seems to indicate that a majority of
the representatives of the party who
will attend the Chicago conference
will be in favor Of standing by Per-
lzins 1t Is pointed out by the Perkins
adherents that Perkins has done more
financially for the party than any
other man, and that whatever has
been accomplished in the way Of Or
ganization is due largely to his skill.
Apparently the movement to get -i,l
of Perkins did not have its origin
in. the hlgherups in the party, who
realize that financial assistance of the
kind Perkins is able to give must De
forthcoming If the new organization
is to be held Intact, but originated
with men down the line who take
the view that Perkins has been from
the start. and is still, a handicap to
the "cause."
Senator Joseph M. Dixon, who has
just returned from a visit to Oyster
Bay. said today that THEODORE Roose-
welt would attend the Chicago con-
