PORTLAND CEMENT
FIRM FIGHTS LABOR
Duluth Trades Assembly Receives
Appeal for Financial Assist
ance from Indiana.

At the meeting of the Federated
Trades and Labor Assembly last Fri
day evening a letter was read from
the Cement Mill Workers union Of
Mitchell, Ind, notifying the Duluth
unions that 900 employees Of the I.e-
high Portland Cement company Of
that city were locked out because OF
an attempt on the part of the en-
ployes to organize a union.
The letter conveys the informa =
ton that the men are making a. VAL
liant struggle to maintain their men,
bership in the union and to establish
the right to organize to protect
their rights and better their condi-
tions.>
In referring to the attitude Of the
company the letter states:
THE company instituting the lock-
out is engaged in the manufacture Of
cement, having at this time seven
large plants in full or partial opera
ton in various parts of the country
The management of this company as.
serts that it proposes to operate as a
non-union concern, and employs the
usual method of demanding that the
locked out men destroy their union
cards if they desi ire unemployment:
The union cement makers have refus-
ed to surrender their rights and are
making fight that should appeal
to the conscience and sympathy Of all
trade unionists.'
The letter closes with an appeal for
financial assistance. The union is
young, and it was not permitted to
organize sufficiently to pile UP a de-
fense fund. Send all contributions ia
F.. w. Pierce, secretary, P. O.. Box,
25S, Mitchell, Ind. The appeal is en-
dorsed by Samuel Gompers, President
of the Aemrican Federation of Labor,

Eveleth Senator :. Talks on ireland
and Pays Tribute to Patriot
/. ism Of Irish People. -.

Senator James, P. Boyle, ever elo-,
quent and fascinating. as. "a public
speaker, held the attention Of ESQ
members of the Modern samaritars..
and their friends, at knights of
sPythias hall, lis West Superior
street, last Monday evening.
Mr.. Boyie's subject was ''Ireland,"
and his hearers We're convinced that
Boyle had d knowledge of his, sub
ject. as. well: as a deep pride, in his.
Irish ancestry. ,:.,..'|:~
Some people have the idea, said the,
speaker that the, Irish are a fighting
race; that to know and like an Irish :
man, one must first fight him. This
idea; however, Is confirmed after all
to comparatively few. The Irish peo-
pie, he continued, are a fighting race
but history: discloses that they have
done most of their fighting for "a
better land to live in, and a higher
freedom. g..
Nine Irishman, or descendants Of
their race he said, signed the Declar-
alton of Independence, and the Irish
society of the revolutionary period,
known as the Friendly Sons Of st.
Patrick We're among, the biggest
financial contributors to the cause
Of American Independence. Wash
ington was later made an honorary
member OF this organization.<
Senator Boyle paid an eloquent tti-
butte to the late Joseph Fels, who had
been co-worker with Henry George
and Tom L.. Johnson. F..
He also lauded President Wilson'S
policy towards the Mexicans, and
highly commended the president for
the foresight and statemanship he is
showing in handling that question.
