Oldest Trade Union Official In
Duluth Dies After A

Miss Belle Yount of Kalamazoo,

ers' union of that city, is visiting in
Duluth and Superior nbehalf of the
members of her organization.
Miss Yount is soliciting funds from
the unions to aid the girls on strike
against the Kalamazoo Corset Co. She
is also visiting among the merchants
and is requesting them not to handle
the non-union corsets made by this
concern.
The corsets manufactured by the
Kalamazoo Corset Co., are known to
the public as the american Beauty
the Iris Corset" the LA Mode" and
the Special" Miss Yount has had
a very exciting career as a member
of the Corset Workers union.
Several months ago about 400 young
women employed by the Kalamazoo
Corset Co., went on strike for higher
wages, better sanitary conditions and
for the discharge of foreman and SUI
perintendents whose moral conduct
toward the girl employees was said to
be improper. The strike was kept at
fever heat for many months. A
strong picket line was established and
the concern experienced considerable
difficulty in getting help to break the
strike.
Finally a judge was induced to is
sue two injunctions, one was against
the members of the union and the
other was a blanket injunction apply
ing to all other unions and to all per-
sons who attempted to go near the
factory to speak to the employees.
Miss Yount was accused of violating
the order of the court as was also
Miss Josephine Casey of New York, a.
well-known social welfare worker of
that city. Miss Yount was taken to
jail where she remained for IL days
awaiting trial. She was convicted by
the judge who issued the order and
without a trial by jury. In all she
spent 21 days in Jail. Miss Carey
spent 81 days In jail.
Miss Yount will visit the Duluth
Trades Assembly next Friday and will
make an appeal to the delegates to
help, her raise funds to support the
girls on strike. 1t is expected that
she will be literally supported by the
Duluth and Superior unions.

father was one of the pioneer settlers
at the head of the lakes.
Mr.. Perrott was elected secretary
treasurer Of the local Plasterers'
union II years ago, and held the Of
flee continuously and up to the time
of his death. He was in point of
service the Oldest trade union officer
in the city Of Duluth. He was an &C.
tive delegate to several conventions
of the Minnesota State Federation of
Labor, to the Building Trades coun-
ell, and to the Federated Trades as
sembly. :
He was also member of the In
dependent Order of F'oresters, the
Modern Samaritans. and the Macca-

ried a liberal amount Of fraternal in
surance. OF the three children who
survive him, Charles, the Oldest, is a
well-known young plasterer of this
city, and is also following in the foot
steps Of his father as a loyal and en-
thusiastic trade unionist.
Mr.. Perrott was we'll known to most
Of the men of labor of Duluth. He
was an honest and upright man whose
private life was clean, and he was 10y
al and self-sacrificing in his work for
his fellow workmen.
On Duluth Heights where he lived
for so many years, he was the most
popular man in the community. His
jovial disposition and his splendid
character won for him way into the
hearts of every man, woman and child
in his neighborhood. We have met
few such men as Edward .Perrott in
our life. Our heart goes out in SYM
pathy to the bereaved family. His
place in the labor movement of Du-
luth will not easily be filled.
