SHOULD MAKE CONNECTIONS
The ST. Paul Officials Ought to Have
Trains Meet At Charming

The train from the south over tho
st Paul road is supposed 70 arrive
here at $3.50 a m. but in the. winter
II is almost invariably late and during
the past week it has been an hour fate
every day. The train from the north
IS supposed 20 meet the train from
the south at Republic about an half
hours ride from Charming The train
from the north is always on time as il
starts from Marquette and has very
little to delay it BY lengthenIng out
the time Of the train from the south
fifteen minutes or an half hour ana
putting the tram from the north ahead
tritie, the trains would meet at
Claiming instead Of Republic and con.
nections could then be made directly
from the Marquette range to the Iron
River and Crystal Falls districts. A.
IL is now a person leaving Marquette
on the early morning tarin must stay
all day and until 100 o'lock at night
at Charming in order 10 get con.
nections for this city.
The delaying Of the train from the
south would be no hardship on the
people here as the chances are that il
will De late all winter anyway and it
would be better TO have the train
scheduled TO arrive here at 10 :Oe
o'clock and nave il arrive than to have
at scheduled to arrive here at o 80
and have it come anywhere from
10 90 O'Clock to IL 90 O'CLOCK.
The service over the system is poor
enough at best Il is up to the officials
TO give as mGch service as they car

changes were made it would not cost
them any more and would be of i'm.

meeting yesterday afternoon.
After Mrs. Raymond Robins, pres
ident National Women's Trade Union
League, explained that Chief Gleason

union from handing out a printed
statement Of the facts in the Heinrich
strike and lockout, she challenged
Gleason with these questions:
What are the rights of the police
and why are policemen above the
law? Is the lawlessness of America
explained in the fact that supposed
representatives of the law are them
selves lawless?
"Mr. Collins, the manager of Hen
rici's, has money at his command"
she said. "He uses it to inform the
public of his side of the case. He
buys space in the newspapers. The
paid advertisements he has publish
ed since the strike was called have
cost several thousand dollars. A
clever advertising man prepared
these statements.
''The public does not understand
why the girls are picketing. Nor is
it well understood by the public that
the girls have a right to peacefully
picket. For these reasons, the Wo-
mems Trade Union League prepared
a statement of the facts in the case.
The mattresses cannot afford to buy
space in the newspapers for big adj
vertisements. Their plan was to hand
out these printed circulars on the
streets. The police forbid this"
Jane Adams backed up these
points in saying: ''In nearly ali labor
strikes the real issue is confused in
the newspapers. In this instance, it
is unfair that one side can. present
its case in the papers and the other
side is refused the right to distribute
a printed statement of its case on the
