BREWERY WORKERS
after Transfers
international Secretary is Here.
Gets Wage Scale and Now
Demands Team Drivers.

Joseph Proebstile of Cincinnati,
International secretary of the United
Brewery Workmen of America, is a.
visitor in Duluth. He came here to
negotiate scale of wages for local
brewery workers. He was most sue
cessful in hi undertaking. The
three local breweries signed a union
shop agreement with the union.
Under the terms of the agreement
wages have been materially increased
The nine hour day has been estab-
lished and the wage scale will $18
and 81 a week.. This is an increased
Of $3.50 over the previous scale. The
union was formed Is years ago.
Wages were then $13 and SIS a week.
The hours of labor were from sunrise
to sunset.
Mr.. Proebstle will: meet with the
local brewers association Saturday for
the purpose of consulting with the
agents of outside breweries over the
employment of teamsters. The
agency teamsters are members of the
International Brotherhood Teamsters.
The brewery workers want them. The
local teamsters protest against the
change. There will be a merry war
on Saturday, it is predicted.

don't TIE. Up CITY ].
With LONG LEASE
Water and Light Department
Needs New Quarters-Build
City Hall First.

According to one of the daily
papers Leonidas, Merritt, city COM
missioner of public utilities, will ask
the council to consider the question
of a new building for the water and
light department.. It is said that the
commissioner has under consideration
several propositions by private con-
Germs to erect a building for the
water and light department., provid-
ing the city will sign satisfactory
lease. Mr.. Merritt is in favor of
signing a 10-year lease.
There is no doubt but that the
water and light department should
have new and more convenient
quarters. This Is also true Of every
other department. The time ap-
proaches when We should have a new
city hall. When one is built every
city department should be sheltered
within it. Why not withhold making
a long lease for the water and light
department until the commissioners
ascertain whether or not they can
build a city hall?
A mistake will be made If the city
is tied up with a long time lease on
a. building for the water and light de-
partment. Would it not retard the
building of a city hall until the lease
shall have expired? The commits
sioners should consider this point.

ARM0R PLATE TRUST
PROVED BY DANIELS
All Big Concerns Send In Similar
Bids for Building
Battleships.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 11.-When
bids on a large quantity of armor for
the newest American battleship. now
designated No. SO, we're opened at
the navy department it was found
that the bids of the Bethlehem Steel
company, Midvale Steel company, and
Carnegie Steel company were idntical
on all classes, and also identical with
the bids submitted previously by the
same companies for armor for the
Pennsylvania, now building.
The similar bids of the three COM
panies for the armor, as disclosed at
the opening, were as follows: Class
Al, $3.50 tons, per ton, $454; Class
Az (turret). 900 tons, per ton $51S;
Class B. 2 81 tons, per ton, $51S; Glass
G (steeD, 81 tons, per ton, $54S;
Glass G. (Bronze), two tons, per ton,
$1,875; hollow forgings, 7OS tons, per
ton, $70S.' Besides the Bethlehem,
Midvale, and Carnegie companies,
which bid $54S a ton, on Glass steel
the Carbon Steel company, of Pitts
burgh, bid $4f8 on that class Of ar
NOR, but submitted no. other bids.
The Carbon Steel company, of Pitts
burgh, which was awarded a contract
for $500 tons of special treatment"
steel plate at $187.04 a ton, reduc-
ton of 5000 under the last excepted
bid for. such material, had bid for one
class of plate, Of which only 81 tons
is to be purchased.
Secretary Daniels held up all the
bids, and does not propose to let con-
tracts until another effort has been
made to obtain competition. With
this end in view, he has asked the
officials Of the Midvale, Bethlehem
and Carnegie companies to confer
with him. He is DESTROYS of learning
from each by what process of mental
telepathy they arrive at the identical
figures in their bids. It looks as if
the only hope for. relief from exorbit-
ant prices is for the government to
establish an ar1nor, plant.
These gentlemen profess that no
misunderstanding in prices exists
between them, and each attests in an
affidavit submitted with their respec-
tive bids that said company is not en-
gagged in any such combination agree
ment, conspiracy, or understanding as
is prohibited by the naval appropria-
ton act of Aug. 20, 1912. Without
delving at this time into the cause
of the surprising coincidence in the
uniformity of bids, the department
cannot but note with d1sfaovr the
absolute agreement that exists.
They speak more eloquently than
any explanations which may be Of
fered; they prove conclusively that
competition for this enormous amount
Of government business is a farce.

YEARLY SHUT DOWN
MENACE TO miners.
illinois Mines Have Eight Hour
Day, But Lose of Time
Is Fearful.

WASHINGTON, SPIT. 11.-That the
coal miners Of Illinois are probably
better organized than those of any
other bituminous coal mining state is
stated by Edward w. Parker, coal
statlstician of the United States
Geological Survey.
One result of this has been the
establishment throughout the coal
mining regions of the eigh-hour day.
But the 'habitual by yearly shut
down has naturally resulted In long
periods of. idleness and loss, of in
come, both to operators and to en-
ployes.
In 1905 practically all the import
ant mines were shut down, and 49,
1872 men out of a total of 61,988 were
idle for an average of fifty-eight days
each. This was equivalent to an aver
age fforty-eight days of idleness for
each of the 61.9S8 employees and was
equal to Is per cent Of the total time
made. '..'-" -.
In 1908 the suspension was not so
long nor were quite as many men af-
fected, AZ. 456 men out Of total of
68,035 being idle for an average Of
thirty seven days.. equivalent to an
average idleness sof twenty-six days
for each of the 68,0S5 employees, and
equal to IA, per cent of the total num-.
Der of days worked by each man dur
ing the year. - -
In 1910, out of total. of 72,645
men, 67,21S were idle for an average
of 1876 days, and the total time lost
was equivalent to ;s,1aS,s5s working
days. -
The total time made by the 72,645
men employed was 11,612,966 days,
or an average Of 160 days each. The
idle time in 1910 was nearly 80 per
cent of the working time made. The
total number of men employed in 1912
was 1908, who worked an average
Of 1914 days. Idleness due to strikes
or suspensions affected a total of co.
sos men, who lost an average Of
thirty three days.
The aggregate idle time due to
labor troubles was Is pc recent of the
total time made.

NEW \. A. MANAGER !.
IN BAD FROM START
Attempts to Reduce Wages of
Boys and They Forthwith
Show Militant Spirit.

In an attempt to make record
over his predecessor in office, H. E.
Grimes, temporary local manager of
the North American Telegraph COM
pany, started in during the early part
of this week to bring about his de-
sired result by reducing the pay of
the messenger boys employed by that
company in this city.
Grimes came here from Minne-
apolis to take the place of John L.
Fuller, who has been in i'll health for
long time. Aside from his action
in cutting the messenger boys wages,
he has reduced the salaries of clerks
and in addition requires them to put
in longer hours than heretofore.
However, the messenger boys pur-
sued a line of action that surprised
the new manager. The entire force,
II in number, walked out during the
busiest hour of the day. The new
manager caved in in quick order.
The strike lasted only about thirty
minutes and at the end of that time
Grimes promised to be good.
The boys are paid $40 per month
and have always received extra pay
, for overtime and Sundays. Grimes
attempted to compel the boys to work
Sundays and extra time without addi-
tional pay, and thereby wipe out a.
custom which has been in vogue for
number of years. =
We can hardly believe that such an
order came from General Superin-
tendent futile of Minneapolis. The
Labor World representative has
talked with a number of men who
are in a position to know and we are
Informed that Grimes action was
taken on his own initiative.
That such a move on the part of a
new manager is unpopular is appar-
ent from the attitude of a large
number of business men who do a
big volume of business with both
telegraph companies.
II have always been pleased" said
a prominent business man yesterday,
with the manner in which Mr.. Full
Ter treated his employees; however, If
any official seeks to satisfy his am
bition to make record and attempts
already underpaid messenger boys 7
for one, can take my business to
some other company"
1t is to be hoped that Mr.. Grimes
has learned a lesson from the strike
of the messenger boys. The news
paper publicity which he received is
certainly bad start for new man,
and the attitude of Duluth people
towards such tyrannical action on the
part of a petty official of a corpor-
alton which serves the public, is such
that life in the cummonity will be ex-
tremely unpleasant for Mr.. Grimes or
anyone else who pursues such a
course towards the employees work.

M'D0NAlD'S REPORT
BOOST FOR DULUTH
Duluth Member Of Federation Elk.
ecutive Council Declares
Unions Are Progressing.

S. S. Mcdonald of Duluth, presi-
dent of the Federated and Labor
Assembly and vice president of the
Minnesota State Federation submitted
a report to the executive council of
the federation at it's quarterly ses-
sion held in Minneapolis last Sunday
that is of unusual interest to the
workingmen Of Duluth.
Mr.. Mcdonald said that within the
last year the condition of organized
labor in Duluth had vastly improved:
that some Of the unions had been
granted a Saturday half-holiday dur
ing the three summer months; that
the newspaper printers had received
an increase Of 81 a week since June
l, and the job printers a similar in
crease since Sept /; that the only
labor trouble in the city during the
summer was strike of the ore dock
workers brought on by the Industrial
Workers of the World, and that this
had been dismal failure.
Mr.. Mcdonald commended specially
the excellent work done by President
Hall during the last few weeks in
Duluth. He stated that Mr.. Hall had
organized the stereotypers and cleo
trotypers into a union 100 per cent
strong, and had on the way a. union
Of the tile layers and marble settlers,
which would also have every man in
the community working at the trade
belonging to it before it's charter
closed. Mr.. Mcdonald said further
that President Hall had given Vice
President Anderson valuable assist
ance in organizing new Blacksmiths'
union and had the bakery and con-
fectionery workers moving strongly
toward vigorous organizations; that
in addition he had strengthened sew
eral Of the old unions by bringing
new members into them, especially the
Painters and Brewery Workers I'M
ions, and had induced several not
previously affiliated with the State
Federation to ojin it.
Mr.. Mcdonald reported that ar
rangements had been made to have
Clarence Darrow deliver lecture in
Superior, Wis, on Sunday, Sept. %,
and one in Duluth on Monday, Sept.
20, both under the auspices of the
Duluth Trades and Labor Assembly.

LONSHOREMEN ARE
FINALLY AFFILIATED

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 1.-Two
large Independent organizations of
Longshoremen have been in existence
for many months past in this city and
Port Richmond, and have secured a
large membership and quite fat treas
uries. Sometime since dissatisfaction
arose regarding the conducting of the
affairs of the two organizations, as
we'll as the expenditure of the funds
of the two unions. Many efforts were
made to harmonic these differences
and induce them to remain a part Of
the organization referred to. Recent
.ly w. F. Dempsey, general organizer
and "A. J. Chlopek, one of the vice
president of the International Long
shoremen's association, arrived in this
city and started to work among the

Richmond.
They were finally granted hearings
before both organizations; and. during
the progress of such meetings they
were continually interrupted and
every effort was made to nullify the

PHILADELPHIA CLOAK
STRIKE IS SETTLED

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 11.-The
strike Of workers in the cloak and

Harry Burstein & Co. has been SET
tied through the efforts Of Commits
sioner Jackson, of the Department of
Labor and Industry, and all the oper-
atives have returned to work.
1t was agreed that home work
should be eliminated; that fifty hours
should constitute weeks work, with
m1ximum Of six hours allowed for
overtime. A general shop committee
OF tive was established. which is to
be at liberty to confer with the en-
ployers at any time. y.
All shops are to be kept in sani-
tary condition, and regular work on
Saturday afternoon is to be abolished.

work they had started out to accom-
plish. In spite of the strenuous OPP
position from the representatives of
these unions, the Port Richmond
branch was induced to accept a char
being 1O7 to 80, the minority finally
agreeing to accept the decision and
become part of the new organiza-
ton chartered by the Longshoremen.
In this city the fight was continued
for some time longer, but at a large
ly attended meeting a similar deci-
sion was arrived at, and both organ
izations will. soon be working under
a charter by the International Long
shoremen's association.

VANCOUVER CLOAK
MAKERS ON STRIKE

VANCOUVER, B. c., Sept. H.
Discomfort with long hours Of labor
which has existed for some time past
among the workers of the Western
Ladies' and Misses Suit and Cloak
company, came to a head when the
whole of the tailors, pressers, and a
considerable proportion of the ex-
perienced tailoresses refused to re-
turn to work until their demand for
an eigh-hour day was granted.
A fully attended and enthusiastic
meeting of the strikers was at once
held at the Labor Temple, at which
plans were made for giving publicity
to the dispute.
