Commissioner Hicken was asked about
the )ordinance he declared that it
would not amount to anything. If this
is true than why was it passed, II
it is useless ordinance why burden
the city with TT. There are now too
many useless ordinances in effect.
But this ordinance does amount to
something. It puts another club in
to the hands CT the street Railway
company. Is the local company en-
titled to any such treatment from the
city in view Of it's attitude towards
our people generally? In other cities
children are. carried to and from
schools at half fare, and in many
cities six tickets are issued for a.
quarter to adults, but not so in Du-
luth. A trade Of this kind would be
worth considering.
The ordinance ought to go to the
people. Everybody should protest
against. Union labor ought to take
up and circulate a. petition to have it
submitted to referendum vote. We
would be pleased to help in the work.

promised.
1t Is announced that Mr.. Weeks
will submit a brief on the case to
Attorney General McReynolds. Why
do the officers Of the state Of Min

labor longer than eight hours, when
our own state eight-hour law requires
that all state work shall be done on
that basis? -.

.' ..::> by Legislature.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. TAT
the last session of the legislature a
compensation act: was passed, but it
was vigorously opposed by the Cali
fornia Employers Federation. The
latter organization is attempting to
accomplish the-defeat of the Compen-
sation Act, and, if that is unsuccess-
full. an, effort will be made to secure
sufficient signers to refer the law to
a referendum vote.
1T will be necessary to have petit
tons signed by 10000 voters in order
to make the. reference. Providing a.
sufficient number of signatures are
obtained it will be referred to the
next general election, which will have
the effect of Withholding the law
going into effect for over a year.
1t is problematical whether the en-
ployers will have sufficient influence
to secure the required number of
signatures, but the matter has been
referred to the employers throughout
the state for their opinion in the
matter.

J. ADAM BEDE SAYS
MULHALL Is BAD ONE

1t is just like J. Adam Bede to
write the following, which appeared
in Bede's Budget this month:
THE only discreditable thing thus
far shown in the expose made by Col.
Martin Mulhall, an ex-employee Of
the National Manufacturers associa-
ton, aside from his own betrayal of
his employers, is the double part
played by some professional friends
OF labor. But there are a few black
sheep In every flock, and this discov.
cry in no way affects the rights and
wrongs of the laboring man.
During six years in congress the
writer never met Col. Mulhall, never
had any correspondence with him,
and never learned that such a per-
son lived. Occasionally representa-
tives of the labor lobby would stop
one in the capital corridors to inquire
ones position on pending or prospec-
tive legislation. but no other lobby
was actively and openly in the field.
1T is probable that men connected
with the Manufacturers association
aided in collecting campaign funds to
further the election of men Of their
faith. But that is what is done for
all parties everywhere in every CAM
paign. And SO long as campaign ex-
penses are borne by the candidates or
their parties-and not by the public
1T must be So. It was in this same
way that funds were raised for all the
presidential candidates last fall.
1T is reported that Col. Mulhall de-
serted his wife and: family to share
the joys Of an affinity, and that the
Manufacturers association dropped
him. Such is the life of a. SCAMP"

''The Fortune Hunter"

Winchell Smiths successful comedy.
'rhe Fortune Hunter" was presented
at the Jefferson theater last night before
an audience of comfortable proportions
who ventured out in spite of stormy
weather. Evidently all felt repaid, for
the applause was frequent and the
wholesome humor of the play evoked
apparently as much laughter as it did
when "The Fortune Hunter was first
acted in Birmingham.
Life in a small town is satirized in a
gently humorous way, and there is
enough real sentiment in the piece 10
make its quieter moment effective. The
comedy is clean and sparkling.
Will Deming plays the part of Nathan
iel Duncan very well indeed. He has
a pleasing appearance and makes the
most of his opportunities. The large sup
porting company is for the most part
quite capable Albert TAvernier as Sam
Graham. Neil Burton as Mr.. Lockwood,
Lillian Connolly as Angie Tucker, and
Marjorie Foster as Betty Graham, de-
