LABOR ADJ IN P|U|LPI|l''Is|:i
Duluth Churches Will Observe
Child Labor. Day With Sermons
on Grave Subject.

Sunday next will be Child Labor
Sunday, and every church in Duluth
Is expected to properly observe it.
Several preachers have signified

Labor at either the morning or eve-
ming service. TIA 5'~
:, The preachers will have plenty to
talk about when they enter discus
sion of the child labor question.
Throughtout the country, there are
about two million children under Is
at work, and a 14-year limit in all
common gainful occupations is not
yet an established fact in any state.
Organizations of labor are appeal
Ing to the church fer :. wider later
est in the children who work, a more
urgent demand fer good child labr
laws and a better following up and
enforcement, of such laws as now ex-
list. 49, ., -.
Minnesota is said to have the hest
child labor laws of any state in the
Union, but they contain many defects,
and the observance of Child Labor
Sunday is for the purpose of calling
attention to necessary improvements
in the law.

= AT KALAMAZOO HALL

The local union Of Boot and Shoe
Repairers will, give smoker next
Tuesday evening, at Kalamazoo hall.
An invitation is extended to all shoe
workers in the city to attend. This
little union is making valiant strug-
gle for recognition, and it should re-
ceive the support OF all Duluth peo-

Boot and shoe makers have felt
the inroads of machinery more Sc
verely than most other tradesmen.
The skilled shoe makers of today are
in the repair shops: Factory shoe
workers., with few exceptions, are
mere machine hands. But these men
should be organized; it is their only
salvation. Every shoe worker in
Duluth should, sattend the union
smoker next Tuesday evening.
