WATER FED THE FLAMES.
Hopeless Fight Against a Peculiar
Conflagration at Sea.

When the freighter Hardy steamed
out Of lie Treport. France. she carried
besides the mineral water In her hold
a number OF small wooden cases mark
ed metallic sodium
The channel was rough. The vessel
rolled and pitched violently. The cap
tain saw that the ship was listing to
port and. suspecting that the cargo
was shifting. sent a boatswain below
to investigate. AS the boatswain en-
tered the hold he saw that several
cases of mineral water had broken and
that the water was swishing about in
the hold. Then suddenly he saw one
Of the wooden cases marked sodium"
burst into flame.
Immediately lie gave the alarm. and
the crew rushed TO their fire stations.
The captain directed the men to play
the hose into the hold. As the first
stream Of water struck the burning
case there were several explosions as
package after package within the case
caught fire. by this time two other
cases OF sodium had broken open. and
their contents as they came In contact
with the water from the hose burst
into flames.
The crew could not believe their
eyes. The more water they poured on
the fire the more intense grew the con-
flagration. Then suddenly two cases
few into the air. crashed against the
overhead beams and spread out in
sheets OF fire. the smaller pieces drop
ping back only TO bounce and dance
about. hot balls OF fame in the half
swamped hold.
Panic stricken. the crew dropped the
hose lines and fed above decks. But
the captain ordered the cargo flung
into the sea aud led his men back into
the hold. They succeeded In throwing
several of the cases overheard. But as
each case hit the waves II rebounded
into the air. flaming ball.
The superstitious crew was fast be-
coming unmanageable. and the captain
saw that in any case he must abandon
the ship. He ordered the crew to the
boats not one moment too soon. for as
the boats rowed away from the blaz-
ing hulk several loud explosions came
from the hold. Then there was one
mighty detonation. The freighter
broke In two aud plunged out of sight

THE RECORD OF >ULZER
II An AWNING STORY

DO the annals Of American poll
tics record a feat more eXtrsordi-
nary than that which William Sulzer
has performed in this campaign
Less than three weeks ago Mr.
Sulzer was justly found guilty BY a
two-thirds vote OF the High Court Of
Impeachment and removed as Gov
ernor Of New York. He returned to
the city that had been his home. TO
the district that for years had sent
him 20 Congress. TO the people who
knew him best. He accepted an
eleventh hour nomination for the
Assembly. and in spite OF every de-
vice that a vast. powerful and IN
scrupulous political machine could
employ against him. won an over
wheiming triumph at the polls.
II would be an amazing commen-
tary upon American political stand
ards if Suffers victory could be in
terpreted as a vote OF approval OF
his misdeeds. But II was not that.
II was a protest against the organ
lied infsmy of Suffers accusers, and
as such it must stand as a crude ex-
preston OF an incoherent political
idealism that deserved a better Lead
er than it found in the impeached
Governor New York World.

COLLECTIVE BARGAINING WINS.

May day passes this year of 1913 without single
strike in Duluth, that Is if the reports received by
The Labor World from the officers Of the local unions
true and correct.
The fact that strike has been called lock-
out has been forced upon the workngmen does not
imply labor is inactive that it is thoroughly
satisfied with prevailing conditions
Most people outside of the trade unions measure
labors activity by the number of strikes that are
called. Some people have other conception of the
mission of trade union than that it organized
for the purpose of causing strikes
The good that trade unions do in quiet and order
y way rarely recorded except in the labor papers
The general public learns little of union labor's
achievements save from the publicity given during
strikes.
Union labor in Duluth is active and as eager to
better the conditions of all labor it The
constructive policy of the trade unions has been the
means of securing for labor great results without
strikes it has achieved by them. In not few
instances this the wages of Duluth workingmen
have been raised through no other process than by
committees of employers and employees calmly and
peacefully bargaining among themselves.
The painters have just concluded making contract
with the master painters as result of which they
will sell their labor power at 80 cents per day more
than it sold for last year. This done without
peace and confidence to a branch Of the building
industry that for six years past has been troubled
with distrust and uncertainty.
number of the building trades unions have again
secured the union shop without a strike, with no
publicity and by merely getting together with their
employers The painters have not obtained the union
shop completely, but they their way.
In another year it is predicted the trade union
movement Of Duluth will be the vital uplifting force
that it before the American Bridge company in.
terrupted the and prosperity Of Duluth build
ing industry.
