TUG F|REMEN H0[D
ANNUAL MEET HERE
Convention in Session at L.enox
rehabilitation Of Officers
Today.

The annual convention of the Tug
Firemen and Linemen's Protective as
sociation of the great lakes has been
in session in Duluth since the first of
the week at the Lenox hotel. It will
in all probability adjourn today when
the annual election of officers will be
held.
All sessions of the convention are
strictly executive and none of the
business transacted is given out. 1t
is said that much time is being spent
over the discussion of a change in the
working conditions and wage schedules
of all firemen and lnemen along the
chain of lakes. The grand president
Of the association is J. J. Sweeney.
It is understood that he will be elected
to succeed himself without opposition.
The first local union Of tug firemen
along the great lakes was organized
in Duluth by w. e. McEwen, editor
OF The Labor World. in 1899. Fol-
lowing the Duluth union an organiza-
ton was formed at Chicago, and
another at Detroit, after which a call
was made for a convention at which
was organized an association that is
now meeting in Duluth.

UNION BUILT HOTEL
OPENED TO PUBLIC
The Park Hotel, Built Through
out by Union Labor, Is For
mally> Opened

The Park hotel. located at Sixth
avenue West and Superior street, was
formally opened. last Saturday eve
ming. Eli Ratkovich, the proprietor,
held open house and welcomed a.
large number Of friends and acquaint-
ances. Lunch and refreshments were
served and a fine musical program
was rendered.
The new Park, hotel is one CT the
few buildings in Duluth of its size
that was built from cellar to garnet
by union men. The owner Of the
building had a clause inserted in the
contract and specifications that no
workman should be employed on the
building unless he carried a paid -up
union card.
This provision of the contract was
lived up to to the letter. All Of the
fixtures in the hotel buffet were made
In a union factory and the union
label Of the united brotherhood of
carpenters appears on each fixture.
This is the first strictly union shop
job that has been done in this town
since the lockout Of 1907.
Mr.. Ratkovich is entitled to much
credit for the enterprise he has shown
In constructing such a fine building
on Sixth avenue West. It is a. de-
cided improvement. to the locality.
Numerous friends extended to him
greetings and wished him success.

TEACHERS PREPARE
TO PRESS DEMANDS
Duluth's Newest Trade Union
Appoints Committee and Ap-
peal Will Be Made to Board,

Duluth's newest trade unions, the
teachers association, has appointed a
committee composed of local in
structors who will prepare themselves
to present their demand for an in
crease In salary before the March
meeting of the school board.
The members of the committee are
Prof. E. P. Gibson of the Duluth Gen.
trail High school, Miss Edith Scovelle
Of the Jackson school, Miss Florence
bradley of the Madison school, and
Miss Ida LIE Richeux Of the Jefferson
school. One member still remains to
be named.
Prof. W. H. schilling, the president
OF the teachers trade union, said yes
terday that the committee members
Will have time to study the local sti-
uation. making a complete survey Of
the field. so that they will be able to
get their demands in shape to pre-
sent to the board at its meeting next
month, when it will consider the cleo
ton Of teachers for the next year and
the salaries to be paid.
Considering the high efficiency Of
our public school system, the splendid
buildings and the immense amount of
money it requires to finance sys-
tenn, the teachers of Duluth are paid
scarcely more money than is given to
common laborers. Their appeals for
increased salaries should be heard,
and the board of education should
find some way to grant their reason
able demands.
1t is sincerely hoped that no men,
Der of the board will discriminate
against any teacher because of his
activity in the teachers association.

PROTEST AGAINST
BAD PROVISIONS
Foreign Workmen From Duluth
and Iron Ranges Don't Like
Compensation Bills.

An enthusiastic meeting of foreign
! workmen who are not connected with
trade unions was held at Kalamazoo
; hall Sunday afternoon for the DUR
pose of discussing workingmen's
compensation acts now being con-
sldered by the legislature.
After a careful consideration of
the bills Morris Kaplan and w. E.
McEwen were selected as delegates
to appear before the legislative COM
m1ttee on workingmen's compensa-
ton and protest against certain feat
ures Of the bills.
A committee consisting of w. E..
McEWen, Morris Kaplan, A. Castig-
l1ano, George Miller, Otto Arlund, NJ.
J. O'Rourke, Arthur Mandolin. l.,
Bogecevich and John Fades was an
pointed to draft the objections to the
bill. Addresses were made by w. E.
McEwen, Morris Kaplan and O. T.
Larson. The meeting protested
against the low compensation.
Higher Compensation Wanted.
The delegates to St. Paul were in
structed to make fight for an in
crease in the death liability from a
maximum of $4,000 to a. minimum, of
$1,000.
The committee met at The Labor
World office Monday evening and ex-
amined all the bills carefully. Many
objections were found and Kaplan
| and McEWen were instructed to pre-
sent them to the legislature Tuesday
evening.
At the meeting in St. Paul Mr..
kaplan very forcibly and emphati-
cally opposed the low compensation.
He stated that the miners of north
| ern Minnesota would never surrender
their present rights for such a. mea-
ger compensation as was provided
for in the bills under consideration.
He was asked many questions and
gave ready and positive answers to
each one.
State Insurance.
Mr.. McEwen discussed the uues-
ton of state insurance and urged
its adoption by the legislature. He
protested against the low compensa-
ton and insisted that every REFER
ence to negligence" willful or other
wise, be eliminated from the COM
pensation bills.
John Manila Of Eveleth entered
strong objection to the low compen-
sation. Frank Larrabee, a we'll
known personal injury attorney of
Minneapolis, defended the present
system. Representatives from retail
merchants associations asked to be
exempted from the proposed law.
The committee adjourned without
reaching any conclusion on any bill.
Senators Swanson, Haycraft, Moon
an. Gunderson and several others
stated openly that they We're in ia
vor of the principle Of the Washing
ton state Insurance law. Senator
Swanson has introduced such g. bill,
and 1t is expected the other senators
will join with him in having it proper
ly amended, and they will get behind
it in the hope that it may be passed.

the following interview yesterday:
About o'clock Roy Taylor. at the
request OF Monroe Grimes, telephoned
me from Henry Darneille's saying that
this desperate was at large in our vi
cinity and was shooting at everyone
along the way. being headed for our
place. He warned us to look out 1t
wasn't more than five minutes later
when we saw the fellow coming about
a quarter Of a mile away. I put my
wife and children in a back room of
the house. shut all the doors and
pulled the shades of the room in
which they were. L locked all the
doors of the house and screens and 1
watched the man from a bedroom
window next to the road. The desper-
ado first went to the barn, which is
across the road from the house. dis
mounted and went into the barn, leav-
Ing his rifle standing against the barn
door. He was in the barn two or
three minutes. AS he came out he
was in the act OF loading up his au-
tomato revolver and then placed the
gun in his right hand coat pocket and
started for the house. keeping his
hand on the revolver all the time.
"Pettijohn. as I understand he was
called, came up on the front porch
and busted the screen door, pulling
the hook out of the wood. He tried
to break in the big wooden door that
opens into the house. He kicked in
the bottom panel a little bit, but
couldn't open it on account of the
heavy night latch. He stayed there
for couple of minutes. thought he
was going away, after he found he
couldn't get in. but instead of that he
came around to the side door. AS he |

which was next to the screen. He
put his hand on the glass door which
has no latch and started to push open
the door with his left hand, holding
his gun in his right hand. Just then
he saw me and Immediately pulled
his gun up to fire at me, as he ad-
and as last resort I fired
with my rifle He fell backward
away from the door. After waiting a
'ew minutes | went out and found
him lying on his back with his re-
yolver gripped in his hand across his
breast. He was dead apparently
having been killed instantly.
Soon after the officers came and took

Mr.. Hartman. whose one shot from
