WORLDS LABOR DAY
WILL Be OBSERVED
Duluth Socialists Make Elaborate
Preparations for Celebration
of May Day.

International Labor Day will be
celebrated in Duluth on Thursday
next, under the auspices of the So
cialist locals of this city. The cele-
bration will be held at the Armory.
Allen Strong Broms of Minneapolis
will be the principal speaker and John
A. Johnson will act as chairman. Fin
nish, Scandinavian and Polish ad-
dresses will also be made.
In Europe, where the Socialist
movement is in close affiliation with
the trade unions, both the political
and economic forces of the working
classes work in harmony with each
other. May-day is observed as a holi-
day by all union men in the other
country.
In such cities as st. Louis and Mil
waukee, where the Socialists are in
control of organized labor, the union
men march in the May-day parade
and are in complete control of this
years celebration in Milwaukee.
May-day celebrations are not of a
political nature, but are held all over
the world to manifest the internation-
al solidarity of the working classes.
On Thursday next a big parade will
precede the Armory meeting. The
Socialists declare that this years cele-
bration will be the best ever observed
in Duluth.

WASHINGTON, Sept. ls.-More
than ZoU New York fnanciers have pc
titioned the war department to in
crease the number of troops on Cover

the financial district from mob upris-

ment for increased military protection
is said TO have been started by Charles
E. Warren Of the Lincoln National
Bank Of New York. Scores Of printed
petitions have poured in on the New
York senators and have been sent to
the war department.
Governor island in New York har

The Democrats have declared for

Putting sugar on the free list bene-

is d strange fact that in the last six

consumer under our protective tariff
has declined seven tenthS of a cent per

products have advanced from 30 TO
100 per cent. Only in four countries

AS a matter of fact there will be no
