 to Grand Jury

Marion. March 17.-tSpecial. 1.-The spring term of Perry county circuit court eon- vened on Monday with Judge P. M. Miller presiding.

500, 900 GIVEN TO
INJURED LABoRERS

* MADISON, Wis, Jan. Chair
man Crownhart OF the state industrial
commissions. states that Investigations
show that prior to the state compen
sation law, passed two years ago, only
one man out Of seven ever received
any Indemnity.
Up to the first Of the year 6,Sg4
claims had been settled. Nearly all
of these have been adjusted by the
employer and worker without inter
vention on the part Of the industrial
commission. which has made only 156
awards since the law was passed.
Many Of these awards have been
made upon evidence presented by the
parties, which has made unnecessary
the holding OF hearings. Prior to the
law less than $500, 600 annually was
paid workers through court decisions.
This does not include the costs to
counties. Tt is believed the figure
this year. including medical costs. will
amount to about 100000.

STRANGE CONFESSION
OF A, PRoTECTIONIsT

1 /. e : 81
There is SO much evidence Of the
fact that protection is a fraud and a:
robbery that additional proof is hard
" necessary. Still it Isl unusual for:
"a proteetionist advocate to admit the.
fact and then urge 1t as reason: for.
its continuance. s55:5
This has been done by one Braxton

manufacturer. Mr.. Campbell admits
THAT he lacks efficiency to produce a
saddle in his factory with which he
can enter the market in competition
with one that can be- imported duty
free from England. Tor one, pound and
twelve siillings or about $7.88. So
Mr.. Campbell makes the modest de-
mands that all users Of saddles be
compelled to pay: a tax to substitute
him. In other words Mr.. Campbell:
admits that FOR many years he has
been carrying on a. parasites industry

is that Mr.. Campbell pays as much

THIS WEEKS THOUGHT.
WAGES OF CITY LARORERS..

Commissioner Murchison made serious mistake
when he reduced wages of city employees who work
by the day from $40 to $500. So far as has been
learned city the first employer of labor to cut
wages this winter This does stand out to- the credit
of the city.
Every government city, county, state and national
should set the pace in fixing living with its own
employees The State Department Of Labor has deter
that provide for family and himself
with the ordinary necessities Of life in Minnesota under
$3.50 day at continuous employment. The city is
paying SO cents day under the bread line wage. It
ought to be ashamed, and Commissioner Murchison
should lose time in at least restoring the scale
that paid during the summer.
There are more workngmen voters in Duluth than
there other kinds of people. They have any
thing they after from the city government if they
their great power in unison They may never be- able

Of Commissioner Murchison in reducing the wages of
city employees be the of forcing workingmen to-
steps go the head of the commissioner and
to the people?
How can it be done? It will be easy. The machn-
for amending the city charter readily accessible
Petitions containing the of but five per of
the voters presented to the charter commission will

that the minimum wage to be paid aborers for work
done by and for the city shall not be less than $3.50

council must submit matter properly Initiated the
people.
Such amendment to the city charter would have
wholesome effect upon the community It would really

KEEPING WORD WITH THE PEOPLE.

The Duluth News Tribune is perfectly right in re-
mindng Commissioner Hicken that certain assurance
given the people by the supporters of the Hicken
code during the referendum campaign the
the ordinance would not compel the removal of cigar
stores from in front of saloons, but would merely
quire after closing clear view of the

building where it located.
This assurance brought number of votes to the
support Of the ordinance Many people recognized that
strong ordinance necessary to- compel strict
forcement Of the law regulating the sale OF liquor and
they for time fearful lest the Hcken ordinance
trifle too drastic in that aimed to- the
property Of number of cigar dealers who
nected with the saloon business. When it was made
plain to them that clear view after closing
the street through the cigar the
all that the ordinance required the received
support it otherwise would not have been given:
