DULUTH LABOR INTERESTED
IN TW0-PLAT00N SYSTEM
BILL IN MINNESOTA STATE SEN
ATE GIVES IT TO CITIES.
Reference Made to Movement inaugural.
ed By Denver Labor Unions to
Amend City Charter.

Following is an extract from a Lead
ing editorial in last weeks issue of the
Duluth Labor World:
"'rhe two platoon or double shift sys-
TEN for city firemen is again brought
to our attention by bill introduced in
the senate by Senator Jones. The bill
is brought in as a measure to promote
the health of firemen in cities of the
first class"
THE two platoon is being successfully
operated in several of the larger cities
of the United States. Seattle and Kan-
sas City being foremost among those
cities where the plan has been tried.
1t is expected that Pittsburg and DEM
yer will soon decide by referendum
vote the advisability OF inaugurating the
twelve-hour basis for the firemen, while
in Chicago the Fireman's association in
conjunction with the Chicago Federated
Trades Assembly is circulating pctitions
for the purpose of having the system
adopted in that city.
Duluth should not wait for the Jones
bill to be passed by the legislature. The
health of the firemen, the welfare Of
their families and the pride of Duluth
demands the double platoon system now.
The question of new motor trucks at
this time is of minor Importance. Grant
the fire laddies a twelve-hour day and
give them the opportunity to develop
their efficiency SO that it may at least
equal the efficiency of modern equip
ment.
This is no longer an experiment: il
has been tried and found beneficial The
Spokane situation really has no bearing
on actual conditions as the election last
fall in Spokane was won by reactionary
forces through "a campaign of misrepre-
scntation.
"The Federated Trades and Labor AS
sembly and the affiliated unions Of D,i-
luth can take this matter up profitably
to themselves and the city at large. Pass
the bill in the Legislature by all means,
but why should Duluth wait for its pas

CONGRESS FAILS TO PROVIDE
FUNDS FOR MINE STATIONS
COLORADO DISTRICTS MUCH INTER.
EsrEp IN SECURING LOCATION.
Law Enacted Establishing Ten Expert
ment and Seven Safety Stations,
But Overlooks Appropriation.

In the rush incident to the close of
congress, some important matters were
overlooked. One of these was forgetting
to make appropriation to establish mine
experiment stations after passing law
providing for their creation. Two or
more Of these stations were expected to
be located in Colorado, but this will be
delayed until the next congress meets
and furnishes necessary funds.
A dispatch this week from Washing
ton says Secretary of the Interior Lane
il receiving applications from various
Colorado cities that desire mine expert
ment stations under the law passed by
congress- in the closing days Of the re-
cent session, including an especially
strong appeal from Silverton.
The law gives the secretary of the
interior authority to establish and main
tain "in the several important mining
regions Of the United States and the
territory of Alaska" ten mining expert
ment stations and seven mine safety
stations, movable or stationary. The
function to be performed by these sta
tions is defined in the legislation as fol-
lows:
.The province and duty of which shall
be to make investigations and dissemin-
ate information with view to improv-
ing conditions in the mining, quarrying,
metaIIurRical and other mineral indus
tries, safeguarding life among employees,
preventing unnecessary waste Of re-
sources. and otherwise contributing ia
the Advancement Of these industries"

Arbitrary Rsductisns 0rdsssd BY Wage

judge tsllsdfiy Sweeping Decision

Protests by trade unionists over the
manner in which their wages have been
juggled by government -established boards
reached climax in Sydney, New South
Wales, Australia, when the wages of ho-
tel and restaurant employees were re-
duced from 20 to 25 per cent Chief
cooks in the higher class hotels have
been reduced IS week, while Mattresses
have been cut 81 q week. The Austria
liam Worker, published in Sydney, de-
clares it to be "the most astounding
award that has yet been delivered by
any wage board in New South Wales.'
The paper also says: mot only did the
board reduce wages from about 20 to
25 per cent in hotels and restaurants,
but it went beyond the requests of the
Employers association and reduced the
wages of employees in tea rooms, for
which the Employers association made
no request whatever"
The unions will protest against the
new award by conducting campaign Of
publicity against the wages they are
now forced to accept 1t is announced
that y "fair list" will be issued, con-
tanning the names of those establish
ments which will not reduce wages to
the level of the boards award.
In an address to the Sydney Labor
Council, w. O'Neill, the new president,
said that unions are throwing the ,e-
sponsibility of securing better working
conditions on the chairmen of wages
boards. He was cheered when he stated
that if the organizations federated they
would then not need to trouble about ar
bitration courts, as they would possess
the power to protect themselves.
In his half-yearly report, Secretary
Kavauaugh, of the New South Wales
Labor Council, protests against the man
ner in which wage boards are debarred
by court order, from considering wage
increases. He says:
If the employer happens to be dealing
in the neeessaries of life he may 60 TO
the Necessary Commodities' Commission.
and if he can justify his claim to in
crease the price of his commodity, he
may do So The employees. on the other
hand, no matter what the reason may be.
must not get an increase in wages, be-
cause the country is at war. We are not
even allowed to submit our claims to
an increase to the arbitration court.
Prices may be increased and our pur-
chasing power thereby reduced, but
wages must remain stationery until the
war is over"
Since the above was written Judge
Heydon. OF the Industrial arbitration
court, has modified his decision that
wages boards cannot consider increases.
The court acknowledged this action was
taken. because of agitation by the trade
union movement, whose members have
been aroused by this unexpected show
OF power over them by the courts.

1t is almost a physical impossibility
for two human eyes to see everything
that goes on on a ball field For this
reason it is much better to have two
officials than one. However, one like
Van Sycle is better than a half a doz-
en- like some blockheads who pose as
umpireS.
If Topeka won't support ball team
like Jimmy Jackson is putting out,
then she wouldn't support the Boston
Braves if they would come here and
play for bean soup However, this
column believes Topeka will support
the Savages. 1t believes it so strong
that a ten cent cigar has been wagered
that there will be 1 500 people out to
tomorrow's game. If you don't want
to lend us a dime to pay the bet, you
had better go out tomorrow and help
swell the crowd.
Lefty Trainer, who joined the Saw
ages last week just before they went
to Lincoln, continued to give evidence
of being 1915 model of a Ty Cobb
batter. To date Trainers batting av-
erage shows that he is hitting .429.
Most of the critics don't believe he
can keep this up any length of time;
but if, by any chance he should, then
he will be the sensation of the baseball
world. And the best way for him to
do this is to convince himself that he
is not doing half as good as he ought
Passing criticism on a show after
having seen only one matinee is
rather delicate thing to do. But judg
ing from the performance of the
Wichita Wolves Thursday, it seems
that they need a few real pitchers and
a few players who can field like Man
ager Wares and Left Fielder Nichol-
son. The Wolves played a pretty clean
game, pulling three double plays in
all, but their swatting was weak and
the two pitchers that they showed
winners. However. here's hoping
Wares pulls his men together and gets
them in the running before it is too
late.
1t had to come. Wild Bill Donovan,
boss of the New York Yanks, is out
with the announcement that his club
will cop the pennant. I'VE have al
ready met some of the most likely
pennant contenderS for 1915 and our
record indicates we have more than
held our own said Wild Bill ST
feel confident we will be able to stick
in first division throughout the sea-
son and wind up pretty close to the
top. Look at the way Caldwell,
Fisher, Heating, McHale and War
hop are going and you will under
stand one of the principal things on
which my confidence is based" With
the Giants going bad, it looks like a
golden opportunity for the American
League in the country's metropolis.
