nonpartisan candidate for the legisla-
ture in the Fifty-eighth district.
Mr.. Jensen is we'll known in labor

wide circle Of friends through the

questions of concern to the people
generally, to this portion of the state,
and to the working classes in part
ocular.
Mr.. Jensen is a cream young man

union FIRMS MUST
NOT Be BOYCOTTED
Meddlers Would Interfere With
Contract Relations Existing
in Duluth.

Members Of organized labor in Du-
! the stories being circulated among
employing painters to the effect that
certain real estate agents In Duluth
are threatening to withdraw their
:: patronage from firms that are en-
: p1oy1ng members Of the Painters un-
ion exclusively.
It has been hoped that an era Of
peace and good will had dawned
among Duluth employers and work.
! ingmen. They are getting together in
fine shape, and any interests that
would discourage such friendly re-
lationship are not doing the city any
good.
ID: Duluth workingmen are not enc
mics of their employers. While they
are primarily concerned in obtaining
fair wages, good working conditions
and an eight-hour day, they want to
know that their employers are earn
ing a, fair profit on. their investments.
They believe in. the efficiency Of trade
unions to bring about better condi
tons for employers and employees, and
they know that no trade union can
serve it's fun purpose, save through
the medium of union shop agree
ments.
If meddlers who do not employ
labor undertake to interfere with the
friendly relations existing between Or
ganized labor and employers, and if
it is so that certain Of these meddlers
are going so far as to boycott firms
having union shop agreements, Du-
luth workingrnen will be obliged, and
regretfully SO, to retaliate, by with
drawing their patronage from such
persons and firms that are busying
themselves in interfering with the
cordial relations now existing between
certain unions and employers.
1t is not necessary for workingmen
to rent houses from or carry insur-
ance with firms that are using their
patronage to harden the conditions of
toll for members of organized labor.
This is not intended as a threat, but
where the peace, happiness and con-
tentment of workingmen are involved,
we can not be blamed for fighting
back. If laborers once become con-
scious of their power in this respect
they can use it most effectively.

History of Labor.
Edwin T. Harris, secretary Of the
Superior Trades and Labor Assembly
discussed the history Of organized
labor on woman suffrage. He spoke
in. part as follows:
las to the history Of our position
let me say that at no time has organ
lied: labor in the United States failed
to endorse In It's preambles and pro-
grams "equa1 rights regardless Of
SEX
Between the years 1925 and 1880
during what Prof Ely terms the IRE,
movement, there were approximately
600 labor papers published in the
United States. At the mast head Of
each Of these papers was a list of
political and economic demands,
among which we find: Equal rights
for women with men in all respects,
abolition Of chattle slavery and wages
slavery.
: Advance In Fight.
surely these were not made at
time when public sentiment was in
favor of these measures to the slight
est degree, SO we cannot be accused
of seeking public favor" as dema-
gogues
I'm 1868 we find in the manifesto
of the International Working Peoples
Association the fifth demand, Equal
rights for all without distinction OF
sex or race" and again in 1886, de-
mand No. 20 of the knights of labor,
To secure for both sexes equal pay
for equal work"
But where does organized labor
stand today? Just where we have al
ways stood. At Rochester in 1912
with ass delegates representing 212
trades unions this resolution was
adopted:
A. F. Of L. Pledges Support.
whereas. the trades union women
have the same struggle az the men,
against. cheap labor, which results
not only in the disp1acing Of men by
women, but also in the displacing of
trades union women by cheap female
labor, and =. ::.~ :.~.''
~ Whereas. to- enforce tho principle
that a. given work demands. a. just
compensation whether done by a man
or woman. and to protect women's
unions; especially in time of strike,

REINSTATE FORMER
IOWA MINISTER

Marshalltown, Aug. 25.-Methodist
throughout Iowa, and especially the up
per Iowa conference, will be interested
in an action taken by the Marshall
town district conference at Geneva.
when the conference, on the recon-
mendation of the church at Mason
City, granted Rev. J. G. Van Ness OF
Mason City local preachers license.
Van Ness has been out of church work,
as far as the stamp authority of his
church has been concerned, ever since
the Mount Vernon conference, when
charges relatives to his conduct were
preferred before Bishop Lewis. Van
Ness withdrew from the conference at
that time.
Because the Rev. J. E. Wagner,
pastor of the Mason City church, and
others in the church believe Van Ness
has been without recognition long
enough in their recent quarterly meet.
ing the members of the Mason City
church voted to ask the district con-
ference to grant Van Ness local
preachers license. The conference
sitting in called session at Geneva
granted the license. 1t is said, how
ever. that the action Of the district con
ference does not in any way, restore
Van Ness relations with the upper
! Iowa conference.

sular and diplomatic service as well
as the department rolls, are today
generously spotted with the names OF
the former residents of the Lone Star

Colonel House. of which he may be
Justly proud, was his success in Sc
curing cabinet positions for Texans.
While it cannot be said that he die
tated," or even urged their appoint
ment it Is undeniable that he in
fluenced the naming of three mem
bers of President Wilson's official
family.

general, halls from Colonel Houses
home town., Austin, and David Frank
lin Houston, secretary Of agriculture,
from the time Of his marriage to an
Austin girl in 1895, until 1908, served
as instructor and president of various
colleges and universities in Austin,
and the state at large. Thomas Watt
Gregory, who has now been nomt-
mated for the attorney generalship. is
also an Austin product, so that three
of the cabinet ministers have been
furnished by the same Texas city.
Other plums which have been d.
rected into channels deemed proper
by Colonel House are being enjoyed
by Otto C. Praeger, postmaster OF
