Tn officials Of the Duluth Street
Railway company, including it's
learned counsel, Tom Wood, criticize
and condemn the Outside" represen .
tatives of the employees of the COM
pany for interesting themselves in
the grievances of the men.
A corporation, in their eyes, has
the right to. engage attorneys to figh:
its legal battles. However, when
workingmen engage other working
men who: have had experience in
wage controversies to advise and to
fight in the court Of public opinion
in their behalf, it is an entirely diff
ferent question. The only differ
ence between Tom Wood as attorney
for the Duluth Street Railway COM
pany and S. S. Mcdonald, the repre-
sentative of the employees, is that Mr..
Wood receives a fee for his service
every time he makes a move for his
client, while Mr.. Mcdonald and
others of his kind are obliged to give
their own time without any Scompen-
sation whatsoever in behalf Of a

SUPERIOR STREET CAR :
MEN ARE IN SYMPATHY

-. Inc street railway employees of SUI
perior are also contemplating strike.
The situation in the city across the
bay Is as critical as in Duluth. The
Superior Telegram reports conditions
in that city as similar to those exist
ing in Duluth its says: - =. :, : -. :
THAT complications may occur in
Superior in the event the Duluth en-
ployes of the street railway company
carry out their announced intention
OF striking for higher wages and bet
ter working conditions lis generally
admitted by the Superior street car
men and company officials.
The Superior employees at present
appear to be without definite plan
of action. Some Of the men today
admitted that they were favorable to
striking with their fellows in Duluth.
However. there is no local organiza-
ton and influential employees on the
Superior lines apparently are not
actively agitating the matter.
Not AS Strike Breakers.
"The feature of the situation which
might precipitate strike on this
side of the bay would be an effort on
the part of the company to use the
local employees as strikebreakers. The.
local street car men, including those
not favorable to strike, are to a
man determined that they will not
"scab', on the Duluth men. If the
company has trouble in Duluth it
will have to work out q solution which
does not involve the use of the Su-
perfor employees on the Duluth lines.
Another possible cause Of difficulty
is the interstate cars. These cars are
operated in both Superior and Duluth.
Whether the Superior men employed
on the interstate cars will consent to
operate them in Duluth in event a
strike is declared is a, question.
Wages the Same.
Wages are the same in Superior
as in Duluth. They range from FL to
from OK to IL hours a day, depending
on their runs. Other conditions are
on the whole better in Superior than
in Duluth say the men. One of the
matters which the Duluth men ask
to have ren1edied is the condition Of
the waiting room, in which they spend
the time while waiting for their cars
to leave the barns. The waiting room
IN Duluth ts said to be unsanitary and
unsatisfactory in many respects. At
the local carbarns, the mems waiting
room is a we'll ventilated and we'll
kept room.
There is no street car mems union
In either Superior or Duluth as yet
There has been a movement on foot
| to organize one for some months past
| but it has not yet advanced beyond
an embryo stage. Two men who were
discharged on this side Of the bay
about a month ago claimed that the
| reason for their discharge was that
they were agitating the formation of
union. Several men are said to have
been discharged in Duluth for their
activity along similar lines. They
claim Spy: system is responsible
for their separation from their posi-
tons with the traction company"

Manager Warren Directs Answer
TO Council Which Does Not :.
Meet Until Monday. !.

The City council by . unanimous
vote demanded that Herbert sS.%:War-
rem manager of the Duluth Street
Railway: COMPANY appear before a
committee of aldermen: and assure
them. that he would receive repre-
.sentatiyes of. his employees and treat
with them without threatening to~dis-
miss them from: the service: for dis
cussing their grievances and in the
event of their failure to agree that
the matters in dispute be submitted
to arbitration. >,2! -
It is understood that Mr., Warren
has replied to the demand of the al
dermen and he will meet with a COM
mittee, but he very adroitly took ad-
vantage of an opening in the coun-
ellis resolution. and addressed his let
ter to the common council which can
not be acted upon until after the next
meeting of that body.
In the meantime many students are
employed on the street cars; he is
taking advantage of the few days
grace, and is placing himself in readi-
ness to meet a strike, in the event
that one occurs after. his conference
with the council committee.
II he was inclined to be on the
square he would lose no time in
meeting with the committe. He would
not wait until after Monday next;
he would meet with the committee
today. His every move indicates that
he is more concerned about maintain
ing his reputation as a\labor crusher
than in affecting proper industrial re-
lations with his employees.
The Labor World is interested in
heading off a strike. Mr.. Warren's
attitude is of the kind that provokes
strikes. He can save himself, his
company and the public considerable
trouble by merely agreeing to treat
with a committee of his employees,
but he must promise that he will not
resort to his habitual course of dis
charging employees who would mus
ter sufficient courage to meet him in
conference: 1t is up to- Mr.. Warren.

ON PLAY GROUNDS
Continued from Pare I,

tical increase in successful dealing
with delinquency amounting to about
fifty per cent over this playground
area. While there is no other city
which has studied the conditions with
equal care, there is consensus Of
opinion apparently that the number
of arrests of children increases about
fifty per cent as soon as the schools
close and the children are turned out
upon the street, and that this falls
off again to about the normal amount
as soon as the Fairgrounds are opened
in any quarter.
Boys in Reformatories.
"A short time ago I spent few
days in the reformatcry OF a small
Western State. There were in this
reformatory 240 boys on whom the
State was spending 100000 year.
girls, on which nearly an equal
amount was being spent This was
nearly enough TO have supported
Fairgrounds in all the cities from
which these children came, and the
Fairgrounds would undoubtedly have
prevented half or more Of all the de-
linquency which the reformatories
were caring for at such great ex-
pense to the State.
I'm the recent studies that have
been made on the white slave trade
in New York City it has been found
that one is the chief recruiting
grounds is the dance hall. More than
ninety per cent of the dance halls in
New York are over saloons. and the
halls are usually furnished to parties
without cost, as it is expected that
the drinks which are sold will pay
for the use of the hall. Where the
girls come from homes which con-
sist of two bedrooms and a kitchen,
we cannot expect them to see their
company there; consequently they
meet their friends or the street cor
ner, on the park bench, or at the
dance hall, because the home does
not furnish the necessary social op-
portunities

institution because the drinking, the
unregulated conduct and the nature
of the people who frequent it sub
ject the girl all the time to bad in
fluences. The playground that is
lighted at night so that the girls can
go there for their exercise and re-
creation, which is provided with field
houses so that gymnastics and sports
can be carried on indoors during the
winter, offers, the most successful RI
val to the dance hall that has any,
where been tried. Within one year
after West Park No. 2, small play
ground On the West Side, was opened
in Chicago, four dance halls within
half mile of that playground had
been closed. The playground fur
nishes a social opportunity, exercise
and recreation which the working
girl demands. Where the city makes
no provision. almost the only oppor-
tunities which she has to crafty these
natural desires are by going to the
dance hall and the moving picture

be bad influences.
Other Evils Evident.
Exactly the same influences. which
drive the girl to the dance hall, drive
the boy to the saloon. He always
finds there a bright, attractive: place
where there is something going on.
and where he can talk with his
friends. The well-conducted play
ground is the most effective rival OF
the saloon, because it furnishes an
other place to go, because its inter-
ests absorb the nina to the exclusion
of less healthful interests which tend
to enter in, and because the boy who
takes part in any form of organized

JOHN H. STONE

candidate for the Democratic nomina-
ton for county Treasurer is too well
known in Democratic politics in this
county to require extensive comment
at our hands. He comes of good old
Kentucky Democratic stock, and since
locating in this county in the early
seventies he has always been among
the more active in fighting the battles
of his party. He has never before
asked for county office although he
has been drafted by his party to fill a
vacancy upon township ticket. He
has served several times as commit
teeman from his township. Mr.. Stone
has engaged in farming the greater
part of his life until the past few years
when he became a contractor and
builder, at which he is now engaged.
He is an honorable, conscientious
gentleman iseminently qualified to
fill the office to which he aspires, and
if nominated he will be elected and
make an excellent official.

Lucien B. Baskerville, of Deep

Democratic nomination for represent
alive of Bates county, Missouri. Mr..
Baskerville was born and raised on a
farm in Bates county. He was edu-
Gated in the law at the University of
Missouri but for the past five years
has been engaged in farming in Deep
water township. He is secretary of
the anti-Single tax league of eastern
Bates county and has been actively
engaged during this summer in fight
ing this measure that so threatens the
people, and especially the farmers, of
this state. He is a young man Of
splendid promise, a tireless worker
and fearless advocate of progressive
measures. His nomination and elec-
ton would assure Bates county 4
faithful and efficient representative.
