AGED WEST END MAN
PAINFULLY INJURED
Moses j. Seymour, Union Car
penters Meets With Accident
on Fon du Lac Train.

Moses J. Seymour, member of the
Carpenters union, employed at the
Steel Plant, fell from the Fond Du
Lac train last Saturday evening at
the Twentieth avenue station, and
was picked UP unconscious by men,
bers of the train crew.
Mr.. Seymour is now at his home
suffering with bruises about the head
and body, a dislocated arm and two
fractured ribs. He was carried to the
office OF DR.. T. L. Pare where his in
jur1eS were dessed.
No one saw the accident take place
and Seymour is unable to give an &C
count of how 1t happened. The men,
bers of the train crew believe he
stumbled from the platform as the
train was approaching the depot. He
was picked up after two cars had
passed him, and he was found
dangerously close to- the moving
train.
Mr.. Seymour is an elderly man:
he resides at 23o8h West First
street, and has been working at
Gary for several months. He has
been a member Of the Carpenters
union for many years. A committee
was appointed at the last meeting Of
the union to wait upon the injured
man and tender to him the SYM
pathy and support Of his fellow car
penters.

Duluth needs more french. The
civil service list of 'eligibles for ap-
pointment as members of the fire de-
partment is dwindling pretty low.
Commissioner Hicken is advertising
for: men to take the, examination.
Jobs are open for. young men from
Fl to IS years of age of sound bdy.
The wages offered are SIS month
for the first year; $50 for the second
and at least $S5 thereafter. There
are always good chances for promo
ton. ::
When a man shall have served as a
fireman for 20. years and shall have
reached the age Of SO years he will be
eligible to retire on pension Of $40
a month. Two weeks vacation are
given every year with full pay. In
the course of time Duluth, no doubt,
will be placed on the two platoon
system. That is firemen shall be
Obliged to stand watch for but -
hours out Of "a. The balance of the
time will be their own.
Young men desiring information
about the civil service or the char
acter of work required of firemen
should inquire Of Chief Joseph Ran

Are you booster for Red Cross
Christmas Seals If you are not you
should be. The proceeds from the
sale of the Red Cross seals are used
by the local board of health and the
Minnesota Society for the Relief and
Prevention Of tuberculosis to fight
the great White Plague.
One-half of all the money received
in Duluth will be used by the local
authorities to assist victims Of tuber-
culosis in Duluth who are unable to
provide for themselves. The other
half will be used by the state organ
ization for work throughout the state.
Workingmen, and their families in
particular. should generously support
the Red Cross sale. 1t is in their
homes where the great white plauge
makes its worst inroads. But the
rich can we'll afford to purchase
every necessity to enable their sick
to fight the frightful disease. It is
not so with the poor; many of them
must lean upon society, and it is for
these the Red Cross seals are being
sold.
Don't think of giving a Christmas

seal: The seal itself costs but one
cent; the price lis so low everyone
can afford to use them. They may
be had at any of the stores, at the
post office or at the office of the
health department.
Word has just been received in Du-
luth that the post office department
will permit the use of the Red Cross
seals on letters. Postmaster General
Burleson has revoked the order that
was in effect last season at this time.
There was considerable opposition
to the order a year ago and this
year the anti-tuberculosis and other
national organizations have brought
pressure to bear to rescind the order.
AS a result the postmaster general
has authorized the use of seals on
letters until January 1.

department and others interested in

$4,000 for going value, the properties
of the street railway company in Su-
perior were worth 100000. On a
basis Of six tickets for a. quarter the
earnings would be ~ per cent on
this investment. At the present rate
of five cents a fare the earnings were
from az to 10 per cent.
The case is being watched by pub
lie utilities company over the COUNTRY.
Mr.. Hanitch, representing the city of
Superior, contends that the case is
one Of wide public importance, involv-
ing as 1t does the amount which pub
lie utilities companies are entitled to
earn on their Investments.
In case the court held that ~ per
cent was sufficient. the utilities would
doubtless be permitted to remain in
the hands Of private individuals. If
a higher rate on investments was al
lowed the municipalities would pro-
coed to take over the properties, as
they now have q right to do under
the. state law.
Mr.. Hanitch further contended that
in view of the fact that cities were
able to: obtain money at ~ per cent,
return of TX per cent on the trac-
ton company property was a high
rather than low return.

WORKlNGMEN, BUY XMAS RED CROSS
SEALS; THEY WILL HELP THE NEEDY

the sale of Christmas seals received
the news with considerable satisfac-
ton. 1t means that in Duluth. and
Minnesota generally the sale Of. the
stamps will be largely increased.
Minnesota is one Of the leading
states in the country in the sale Of
Christmas seals. A part of the rev.
enue derived is turned over to the
state society which organization
turns over a part of their proceeds
to the national body. The money is
used in the: national campaign
against the spread and for the pre-
vention of consumption. Much good
work is done by exhibits, lectures and
other means employed to teach the
people methods of checking the great
white plague.

COPPER ! J. J R | KINGS G. TRY
EVERYTHING |: R
Seek to Control Courts, District
Attorney, Peace Officers to
Use Them to Break Strike. ].

, The mine owners and citizens in
the Copper Country are getting des-
perate. They evidently are making
their last big stand against the united
front of the striking miners. At their
big Wednesday mass-meeting in Gail
umet the copper kings overplayed
their hand. J..
They accused the public offoials of
not performing their duty, and using
this as a subterfuge they enacted res
olutions calling upon the Governor Of
Michigan to supplant the county at
torney at Calumet, a Roosevelt Pro-
gressive, with a lawyer of their own
choosing. 1t is not believed that Gov
ernor Ferris will respect the mine
owners wishes.
Judge O'Brien is not satisfactory to
the mine owners. The court evident
ly recognizes that this is a peoples
government, at least it ought to be,
and 1t is not a mine owners govern
ment, so he will not do their bidding.
They have run things so long down in
the Copper Country they feel they
have vested right in the courts as
they claim in their mines.
the outcome of three murders COM
nitted in the strike region last Satur-
day evening. The dead men were
strike breakers, and it is decidedly
easy to claim they were killed by
strikers. However, strike leaders de-
clare, the men were in a house that
was carefully guarded on the outside
by company guards. No striker could
come within gun shot of the house.
They have a theory that professional
gunner brought to the strike region
by the mine owners and the strike
breakers got in a row which resulted
in the death Of the three men.
The so-called citizens Of Calumet and
the other mining towns threatened to
give President Meyer Of the Western
Federation of Miners and his COL
leagues "a hours to leave town. They
are still in the strike region. The next
few days, it is expected, will show up
the real anarchists in the Copper
Country. We are morally. certain they
will not be the miners.
