PARCEL POST HELPS
REDUCE LIVING COST
Express Company Carries Coun-
try Produce to City Consum
ers Down in Texas. >.

Down in Texas a. plan is on foot
to cut out the middleman and reduce
the cost of living. It looks as though
the express companies are planning
to beat the parcels post in the effort
to simplify the: distribution of light
produce. The plan contemplates thai
the express company, through it's
agents. will accept from housewives
and dealers in cities continuous
order of country produce, shipment
to be made daily or at periods speci-
fled by the buyer. These orders will
be turned over to the Texas farmer
to fill. Special packages will be con-
structed, with compartments for
eggs. butter, vegetables, fruit and
other things to accommodate the
trade.
The Wells-Fargo people will keep
che producer advised of market con-
ditions in the larger cities and by
free distribution of dependable in
formation hope to take out much of
the friction and misunderstanding
now existing between the shipper and
the dealer and to prevent Cutting
one market and starvin another.
It is charged that the middlemen
are without competition or. govern
ment supervision. They need regu-
lating as badly as the common car
rier, and the plan affords facilities
for a competitive system of market
ing which will act as check against
the greed Of the midd1eman, and will
have a tendency to avoid sluts on
the market. The new plan will take
out waste, uncertainty and ineffi-
cheney, and will add volume, stability
and conscience to the business.
Marketing, not production. is the
problem that confronts the American
farmer today.

Labor Launches New Union
100 Per Cent Strong.

The Labor World announced two

State Federation Of Labor had sue
ceeded in organizing four new unions
in Duluth, but their, names were with
held until their charters were re-
ceived. One of the unions is now
fully organized and is 100 per cent
strong. That Is not so bad for a new
union.
This organization is the Tile Lay
ers' and Helpers union. 1t consists
of every tile layer and helper in the
city. 1t begins work under the most
favorable auspices and promises to
take its place among the labor organ
izations of the city as a union that
will do things.
The final organization meeting was
held last Friday evening. President
Hall administered the obligation to
the members, after which the follow
ing officers were elected: President
David Carlson; vice president, Nor
man Mclean; recording secretary, c.
E. Wolf; financial secretary, Harry
Clarke; treasurer, Paul Differt; door
keeper. M. A. McPhail. The execu-
tive board will consist of Harry
Clarke. Norman Mclean, Rober.
Lindblad and David Olson.
President S. S. Mcdonald of the
Federated Trades and Labor Assemb-
~ and A. G. Catlin. chairman of the
Assembly's organization committee
were present and urged the new union
to affiliate with the central body
James Powers, secretary of the
Building Trades Council, invited the
union to join that organization. The
union voted favorably on each request
ana also decided to affiliate with the
State Federation of Labor.

TWO YOUNG LAWYERS
COME uP.FR0M RANKS
Richard Jones, Well Known
Labor Union Man, and Bert
Forbes Hang Out Single.

Richard Jones and Bert Forbes,
two young and promising Duluth at
torneys, have entered into partner
ship under the name Of Jones &
Forbes. They have opened offices
In the Torrey building. Mr.. Forbes
has been associated with John M.
Reyes for the past five years. Mr..
Jones was with the firm Of Afford &
Hunt for three years. Both young
men are we'll and popularity known
in the city.
Richard Jones is best known in the
local labor movement. 1t is only a
short time back when "Dick," as he
is lovingly called. handled a key in
local telegraph office. He was
secretary Of the Commercial Tele-
graphers' union, and took part in
the big strike of six years ago. While
Dick" lost his job as an operator
and was blacklisted by the big COM
panies, it proved to be his making.
He took up the study of law, and
now after several years of hard work
that sorely tested his mettle he has
branched out for himself.
MT. Jones was Tor several years
delegate to the Federated Trades
and Labor assembly. He took an &C
tive part in the work Of the local
movement, and even since he entered
his new profession his heart beats as
warmly for the cause as it has ever
done. During the late street rail-
way strike he acted as counsel for
the Street Railway Employees I'M
ion, taking a prominent part with
Judge Fesler in successfully opposing
the APPLICATION Of the Duluth Street
Railway company for an injunction
against the union and the strike
sympathizers.
Mr.. Forbes is also rising in his
profession through the school of
hard knocks. Only a. few years ago
he was an elevator operator in one
of our large buildings. He studied
! nights and devoted his spare time
| generally to reading law. This young
pair ought to be heard from in the
| legal profession. Here is hoping
they will make good, as we know
| they will.

Local Company Organized Under
New Law to Loan Money to
Workmen Cheaply. T.

From now on it will be unneces-
sary for any workingman who may
be temporarily hard up to seek re-
lief from loan sharks who have the
reputation of charging "a cent a
minute" for the use of their money.
Most people know why sentiment is
strongly against loan sharks. They
have been hated from the time men
first began to borrow. Society has
tolerated their existence all these
years, but the present trend of at
fairs in state law making indicates
they have but a short time to live.
Duluth starts out early under a
new law to make it difficult for
the sharks to do business. A num-
Der of public spirited men have or
ganized the Duluth Remedial Loan
association under a law passed by
the last legislature which was sup
ported by the State Federation Of
Labor and which defines the rate of
under 5000.
The association is headed by such
men as F. w. Paine, c. A. Duncan,
Julius Barnes. A. M. Marshall, G..
A. Congdon. Ward Ames jr, T. w.
Hopes, Carol F. Graft, John T.
Armstead, August Fitger and others.
The purpose Of the association is to
help out any workingman who may
be in tight place. and who other
wise would seek help from loan
sharks. The risk is entirely moral
risk. A man with a good name and
some personal property will expert
ence no trouble in making a loan.
The association is limited by law
SO that it can not earn more than
six per cent on it's investments. The
rate Of interest charged to borrow
ers is fixed by law, and the excess
sive commissions charged by the loan
sharks are prohibited. Duluth work
ingmen who may be in need are
urged to make their wants known to
the manager of the association. Mr..
Harry p. Berg, 401 First National
Bank building. Loans will be made
up to 5000.

vides that wool shall be placed on the
free list, an end for which the free
wool democrats of the houss have
fought for two years.
The concession to President Wilson
and free wool advocates takes the
place Of fifteen per cen duty which the
