FARGO unions FACE
OPEN SHOP CONTEST
Contractors Association Being
Urged to Wage War Against
Builders Unions.

Fargo unions, it is reported, are
facing a so-calleds "open shop" fight
such as was waged against the Du-
luth unions six years ago. But it will
be a. different kind of fight with
honors more even than were exper-
fenced here. There is no Steel Trust
in Fargo, and the. Reak Estate Elk
change there is not SO. bitter agains:
union labor. y,
The unions are doing all in their
power to ward Off the lockout. It
seems that certain group of con-
tractors in Fargo who have natural
prejudices against union labor have
conspired to plunge the contractors
association into a. labor war. They
calculate that this is the best time
in the year to wage a fight against
the union; that IL they waited until
next spring it would interrupt the sea-
sons work. .t.:--~ .a
The unions are on the defensive
and they do not want q battle. They
have offered to submit all matters in
dispute except the: principle of the
Union Shop. This they contend Is not
q question to be arbitrated. ~
The executive council Of the Mime
sofa State Federation OF Labor at its
meeting last Sunday In. st. Paul
pledged itself to render all moral and
financial assistance necessary to aid
the Fargo unions, In the meantime
every effort will be made to. settle the
difficulties amicably. .s@ 1.-y 1 !. Us

Your Gift Will Not Be Complete

Stamped Upon It. ~-.y

Has the Christmas spirit reached

Seals to stamp on your gifts and

The societies in city, state and ma

the real preventative work is being
conducted by independent associa-

Ing Red Cross Seals. They saved 200,~
600 lives last year.
Every time the clock ticks, it is
said, a life goes out from tuberculosis.
Every tenth person is victim of the
disease. It scarcely misses home,
and for a time it was believed the dis

it is hereditary has been dispelled.. 1t
is no longer regarded as such. It can

deadly progress can be arrested. In
all events great work is being done by
dutiful societies in relieving to large

It takes money to do this. and you
are expected to help. What will you

MIKE BOYLAN CALLS:
COME AGAIN, OLD PAL

The Labor World received a call
this week from Mike Boylan Of Vir-
ginia. Mike and The Labor World
editor at one time wiped joints to-
gether in the plumbing trade. He
has a very successful business at Vir-
ginia. So his call at The Labor
World office was out Of regard for old
times, and we talked shop like any
two veterans Of overalls delight to do.
Mr.. Boylan-and 1t is not easy to
become so stiff and stark with an old
shopmate, we are in the habit of call
ing him "Mike''-stopped off in Du-
luth on his way: to Virginia from his
old home in KALAMAZOO, where he
visited for two weeks with friends.
He says business is good at Virginia,
and he Is just completing one Of the
most successful years he ever had in
the plumbing business.
Mr.. Boylan. is an old-time Union
plumber, and when he went into bus
mess at Virginia he lost no time in
encouraging the journeymen plumb
eres to organize. He was the first to
recognize the new union, employing
exclusively members with paid-up
cards in their pockets and he has con-
tinued to do so ever since.
Mdke-there we are in our old
habit again, but we can't get away
from it-Mike plays politics on the
side in Virginia. He is member of
the city council, and we note by the
Virginia papers he is favorably men,
toned as candidate for mayor Of
that city. Now this is going some
for plumber.
Well, he is in the game, and his
political opponents say he was against
municipal ownership in a local tight
they had there for the possession II
the water plant. They tried to recall
him as an alderman and they gave
him a hard fight, but he won out.
Mike says it is only politics. If they
had played the game his way the city
would have purchased the plant
cheaper, so he declares. And for old
times sake, here is hoping that he
was right.

.R|E|B|.UKESjjI. GIRLS; |I| WHO
WORK FOR PIN Y MONEY \ j
Girls Who Earn Spending Cash
Only, Forces Down Wages
of Others.

If wealthy girls invade the indus
trial field merely to earn pin
money! they should be compelled to
live on what they earn, according to
a letter received this week by Miss
Eliza Evans, secretary Of the Minne-
sofa Minimum Wage commission.
Such punishment, she argues,
would drive the girls who do not
have to earn a living out of the
overcrowding fields and give those
who must work a better chance. The
writer makes SIS month as IL
brarian.
A girl employed behind the coun-
told of the< letter to Miss Evans,
said: Il am opposed: to the pin
money working girl. There is one
behind this counter with me. See
how nicely she dresses. Every cent
she earns goes on her back.
Her laundry is done at home, and
I have to- compete with her. I must
pay my board, laundry bills and in
cidentals that are necessary to one
who does not live at home. If I
don't dress as we'll as she does it
tells on my sales. Somehow GUS
toners take to the dressed girls.
How am to do it? I tell you it
is fight to, be good, and the pin
money'sirl competitor has a lot to
do with depressing the spirits OF
working girls who have to work.
Moralists will find this fertile field
to pursue their Investigations.
And who Is there to say that this
girl is not right? The Minimum Wage
Commission will meet next week to
fix wages Of department store girls.

As TO FAVOUR.
Found Her Favorite Again.

A bright young lady tells how shs
came to be acutely sensitive as to the
taste of coffee:
my health had been very poor for
several years." she says. Il loved
coffee and drank it for breakfast, but
only learned by accident. as 1t were,
that it was the cause of the constant,
dreadful headaches from which l SUI
fered every day. and of the nervous
ness that drove sleep from my pillow
and so deranged my stomach that
everything I ate gave me acute pain.
(Tea is just as injurious. because 1t
contains caffeine, the same drug found
in coffee.)
my condition finally got so serious
that l was advised by my doctor to go
to a hospital. There they gave me
what l supposed was coffee, and l
thought 1t was the best ever drank.
but have since learned 1t was

home in four weeks.
Somehow the coffee we used at
home didn't taste right when got
back. I tried various kinds. but none
tasted as good as that l drank in the
hospital, and all brought back the
dreadful headaches and the 'sick-all-
over feeling.

and the first taste of it I took. I
