MAKING FIGHT FOR
SEMI -M0NTHLYPAY
P. G. Phillips, Former Alderman,
Accuses Officials Of Resort
ing to Subterfuge.

P. G.. Phillips of West Duluth, the
we'll known Socialist and union labor
man, formerly city alderman from the
Eighth ward, challenges Mayor Prince
and Commissioner Voss to prove their
statements that city employees do not
want their pay twice a. month.
Mr.. Phillips declares that city Of
ficials are resorting to subterfuge to
combat the petitions now being. cir
culated in an effort to force the city
council to pass an ordinance provid-
ing for "a semi monthly payday for
city employees.
Mayor Prince and Commissioners
Voss and Silberstein are making their
statements to the press with the in
tention of misleading the people"
Phillips declared. ''They are resort
ing to a. trick In an effort to head off
the petitions being circulated. chal-
lenge their statements that city en-
ployees do not want their pay twice
a month. I challenge each depart
ment, using the secret ballot, II
they are so sure employees do not
want semi onthly pay days."
Mr.. Silberstein is rather incon-
sistent," declared Phillips. HE may
be able to explain why city employees
do not want their pay twice month,
but his employees are paid every
week. Is there any difference be-
tween those employed by him and
the city's enlployees?"
monthly pay for city en-
ployees is to be a subject for special
discussion at the meeting of the West
Duluth Commercial club this evening.
The movement was called to the at
tention of the club by Mr.. Phillips
last week, but action was deferred
until tonight.
Petitions, asking that the council
pass an ordinance granting semi
monthly pay days to city employees
are now being circulated and are be-
ing rapidly signed. according to Phil.
lips.

Grandstand Cloak of Harmony
With Men Torn Off by Labor
Leaders.

Much ado has been made about the
fact that the richest young man in
the country slept in the home of a.
Colorado miner a few nights ago. The
story was embellished by g. recital Of
the further fact that the richest young
man borrowed his hosts nightshirt
before retiring.
It was sought to show by his pleas
ant little picture of fireside fellowship
that all discord had passed from that
section of Colorado wherein John D.
Rockefeller owns most of the coal
mines, and where, upon a time, some
of Rockefeller's gunner militia.
burned the tent colony of Ludlow and
massacred some women and children.
From Adoph Germer, who knows
every angle Of the Colorado situation,
it is learned that there is just one
thing wrong with the beautiful story
Of the richest young man, his quiet
s1umber and the borrowed ,nightshirt.
It isn't true. It's a. fake.
The house Rockefeller slept so
safely and happily and comfortably
This home is at the Ravenwood mine,
about three miles from Walsenburg.
Charles Kaiser, says Adolph Germer,,
isn't an ordinary miner at all. Kaiser
is mine foreman-foreman, of, the
Ravenwood mine.
So the richest young man slept in
the home of one of his trusted SER
wants, and not in the home of some
miner selected at random with the
trusting simplicity of a child.

ELECTRICAL WORKERS
ORDINANCE EXCITES

Duluth electrical workers are very
much interested in an ordinance in
PRODUCED in the city council by Mayor
Prince providing for the proper in
spection and police regulation of
electrical work. The ordinance is ex-
citing the wrath of the building own
ers and agent along Superior street,
who usually have their engineers or
janitors do electrical work in their
buildings.
The Labor World has not had an
opportunity to examine the ordinance
but SO soon as we do, we will not hes
itate to give our view on it. Any such
ordinance should provide for the max
in1um of safety, but care should be
taken not to make it's provision I'M
necessarily drastic, particularly when
such will increase the expense of elec-
trical work to the public.

!; - The Commissioner Of Public Works,
Bert Farrell started something in the
council meeting Monday evening that
will have; tar i, reaching effect. He
opposed the. granting of an employ
Inent license to HI. B. Briggs, giving
as his reason that he did not believe
{p@ the principle OF the workingman
having to pay for q fob. He held it
to- be the duty Of the city and state
to. provide institutions that will give
information to idle men about work.
Commissioners Merritt and HVoss
voted, with Commissioner Farrell and
as result Mr.. Briggs was denied a
license. Mayor Prince and Commits
sioner .Silbersteino voted for the
license. The position taken by the
majority members of the commission
is in accord with The attitude Of labor
as to private employment agencies.
Commissioner Farrell is to- be con-
graduated for starting a campaign in
Duluth which we are sure will sound
the death-knell Of system (which
has long grated on labQrers.
In the last legislature Senator Jones
introduced a bill making it g. crime
for any person to charge a laborer
a fee for a. job, While the bill did
not pass, there was favorable senti-

If the city commissioners stand pat

Union labor has no complaint to

NO MYSTERY ABOUT.
EAST i: .D|sAs7ER|
Andrew Allen Tells Engineers
Club Boat Was Improperly
J Managed Without Ballast.

CHICAGO, Oct. 1.-THE Eastland
tipped over because of improper bal
last and improper management. There
is no mystery about the accident,
which simply shows up the typical
American careless and irresponsible
methods, also the typical American
disregard of technical analysis and re-
lance on the motto on the silver dol
lar, In God we trust I"
The above statements we're made
by Andrew Allen, a mining engineer,
in an address before the Engineers
club last week. The: speaker was also
a member Of the state grand jury. He
ridiculed the theory that piling in the
river caused the ship to turn over and
cause the death of 812 excursionists
last July. He declared that 1.-The pill
ing would have sunk into the mud or
dented the bottom" -.
The mining engineer said the boat
should not have been permitted to
carry more than LOO or 1900 per-
sons, If nine square feet for each pas
senger was allowed: This rule was
ignored and the boat was allowed to
carry $500. ~ -.
There were 2,412, tickets turned in
by the Transportation company" said
the speaker. "Out OF 500 tickets ex-
amined we found 1852 coupons held by
passengers who were not on the East.
land for which there were no tickets
turned in. This would suggest that
many tickets had been destroyed, and
that there must have been rs TO 80
per cent more passengers on the boat
than reported. to-
ION the morning. of the accident
the ballast tanks were pumped dry.
When the boat listed to starboEard they
started to fill the port tanks. When
it began to list to port, they began to
pump out the port tanks instead Of
filing the starboard tanks,s too; in
fact, this was attempted only at the
last moment. The ballast tanks were,
therefore, only partially filled an the
water could surge with every move
ment Of the boat. The instability was
doubtless increased dnstead of de-
creased thereby The single ballast
tank system is very defective and
when the boat began to get away
from the crew they had no means Of
Fighting it.. = " r " =: ?
There is no mystery. about the ac-

SCHOOL |. BOARD ! BACKS | { |
UP ON \ PLAY GROUNDS | D /
May Refuse to Spend Money for
Supervision Of. Grounds Not
Close to Schools. - =. 80:

The. daily papers carried news &C
counts this week Of the fact that the
school board proposed to back up on
making any further contributions for
Fairgrounds. It is stated that mem
bers, of the board are opposed to the
expenditure of any. money from the
school fund for other than school
work or for Fairgrounds adjacent to
school buildings. 1900 ~-''.:'" =,
The Labor World sincerely trusts
that there is no truth to this state
ment. Whether or not Fairgrounds
that the greater number OF patrons
Of the Fairgrounds already estab-
lished, are boys and girls Of school
age. The playground movement has
already gone too far to be abandoned
by either the city or the school board.
It makes little difference where the
money comes. from, SO long as play
grounds are maintained.
1t is unfortunate that the school
board. is separate and distinct from
the city commission. Under ideal
commission government, divorced
from party politics, general city ad-
ministration and school board admin
istration should be united In the
last analysis the people pay the bills.
The school board cannot afford to
take an isolated position on the ques-
ton Of Fairgrounds. It cannot sit on
it's high horse and shirk its RESPONSE
'bility. School officials may have
other views as to the proper way for
managing Fairgrounds, but their first
duty is to support the system which
now prevails and to quit splitting
hairs over the question as to whether
or not Fairgrounds are adjacent to
school buildings.
The people of Duluth have been
very tolerant with their school board.
They have permitted the board to
have its own way for many years,
but there will come a. time when the
members will be obliged to get off
their pedestal and approach the. peor
pie little closer. They must not
lose sight of the fact that everybody
pays taxes for the maintenance of
schools and that Fairgrounds re-
moved from schools are attended by
boys and girls who attend private
and parochial schools as we'll as those
maintained at the expense Of the
public. The school board should be
very careful lest it stirs eup a hornets
nest.
