Samuel Gompers;s PRESIDENT. OF the
American Federauon Of Labor, has
badly. done: more forttheocause Of
international, peace than any other
living man. He has devoted the major
portion Of his hfe to- bring ttli1erwork-
ers of the World-to g. better under
standing of each others relations. Per-
haps no other men has beensso. mis-
understood. He, has. not! opposed
workingmen Joining the state militia,
but he is > alphabetically against the
use of the state militia to assist en-
ployers to defeat the aims of labor In
its effort to- increase wages, shorten
hours of labor and improve working
conditions. - '''-, '',,":
Mr.. Gompers has long advocated a
citizen soldiery in the United. States.
In the present nationwide discussion
for a program Of national defense,
Mr.. Gompers says that the United
States cannot be without means of
self-protection and canot disarm under
present conditions. Major-Gene
Wood recently invited Mr.. Gompers
to take part in the business mems en-
campment at Plattsburg; N. Y. In
reply to General Wood declining the
invitation, the President of the Amer
lean Federation of Labor took occa.
sion to voice his views on militarism
and the establishment Of the citizen
soldtery. Among other things he
said in his letter:
'Militarism and navalism affect not
only national relations, but they leave
an indelible impression upon the life
Of the nation. They are totally out Of
harmony with democratic ideals and
institutions and are contrary to the
genius of the American people. How

r sz~tra 4 s

.W,AsH1NGToN, oct. 7.-secretary
of Comm cree Redfeld* has defined
the language test of the seanaen's act,
passed by the last congress. In an
opinion. made public last week the
secretary states that the law does
does not require the use Of -. any
particular language on the part Of
OFFICERS and crew Of. any vessel,''
but that any Language that Is UNDER
stood lin sufficient measure by Of
ficers and the proper proportion Of
the crew will, comply" -
The requirement that members Of
the Grew, shall be able to understand
any order given them, by their. Of
f1cers is construed as meaning only
such orders as may normally be giv-
en- to members Of the crew in each
department of the vessel in the course
OF the usual performance Of their
regular duties. Among those duties,
however, should be included lifeboat
work or, emergency work for . such
members of the. crew as may be, CALI
ed upon to perform these classes Of

In conclusion, Secretary Redfield
says the language test is understood
to require the safeguarding: Of a ves-
sci in such manner as shall be
helpful and not hurtfpl to our mari

sence intended to be used to create

Washington Trade Unionists Have
Begun Propaganda That Has
in it Much of Promise.

The trade unionists in the State of
Washington have begun a. plan Of
propaganda OF trade unionism that
has in it much Of promis, providing
it is guided by wisdom and an earn
est purpose. " - 49,. - -:
They propose to invade a field that
has been neglected because there has
been no concentrated thought on the
subject and no organized effort to
take the initiative. -
- But now the trade unionists Of that
state have been reused to the. Inn
portance of educating the young iii
the ,'principles OF unionism and t. an
understanding OF it's benefits in its
application to Industry; and this is
how they propose to conduct their
campaign Of education. !
The effort is to: be carried forward
through the organization Of "Blue5
Cross Leagues" in all sections OF the
state where there are: sufficient num-
Der Of trade unionists to warrant an
organization. These leagues are to
be composed of the children of UNI
ionists. On applying for membership
the applicant signs g. card with the
following declaration: 49, :
II believe in union. labor. Because
the union helps my father to, get
higher wages and to work shorter
hours, and these help him to provide
a more comfortable home for my
mother, my brothers and sisters, and
for me. Because, the union wants all,
children to be kept in school and at
play, and not be driven into sweat
shops and factories during school age.
Because the union helps to get. fair:
treatment, and I believe In fairness in.
play, work, wages and in everything.
Because, when I-grow UP, if am a
wage Garner, I intend to- become a
member Of a:union.' ss s up; ::,&% .s- :
Considering the woeful lack of in
ytelligence as to what are the, basic
objects and principles Of trade union.
ism, the. education of the young in
their understanding Of this important
subject is. laying good foundation
for the growth and strength Of trade
unionism. - = :; &%5.: .
The Socialists lave their. schools Of
instruction In directing the young
mind to- understanding. Of Socialistic
principles and that is adding to their
strength, and we believe that the
blue Cross Leagues will furnish
similar meals Of instruction that will
be most profitable in strengthening
the influence Of the trade. union
movement. That the ''Blue Cross
Leagues" should be extended through
out the country u.s. we believe, greatly
to- be desired by these fighting for

There ARE DANGEROUS
CORNERS In DULUTH !

Every driver of an automobile knows where these
dangerous corners are
Any man or woman who has driven an automo-
bile regularly in Duluth for more than a few days.
knows the ''lanes of traffic." There are certain
streets which avoided because of poor pavements
or steep grades. There other streets and ave-
nues which are almost invariably used because Of
good pavements and easy grades. These streets and
avenues become the main highways of automobile
traffic. There is a constant stream Of automobiles
passing back and forth along them, while other
streets used only when necessary.
When these main highways of traffic intersect
street where street cars run, it makes
DANGEROUS CORNER. If buildings obstruct the
view at this the danger is increased. If the
pavement is Of kind which becomes slippery when
wet, the danger is increased. If the grade is such
that an automobile driver likes to "get start'' to
take the hill without shifting gears the danger is in
creased If the corner is where ordinary street
traffic is heavy, the danger is increased
Remember these DANGEROUS CORNERS. Study
them and approach them with added If these danger
could be eliminated than half of the auto
mobile accidents within the city limits would be eliminated
But the dangerous crossings necessary evil We

which the automobile would be concealed from the motor

We therefore respectfully ask all drivers of automo
biles in Duluth and Superior to help WATCH THE
DANGEROUS CORNERS.
The good driver is the careful driver whether he is
driving street automobile, and the exercise of
added caution when approaching DANGEROUS COR
NER should become second nature to any good driver

Any such policy must be worked out
carefully upon a voluntary basis, pro-
viding for equal opportunities for all.
THE greatest protection against the
dangers OF mflitarism can be secured
through making military training vol
untary and as general as possible, and
through fostering in he@citizens the
best conception Of their duties as
American citizens. One method that
would promote this purpose is to make
the naval and military national schools
to any one who desires to $enter and
who has the necess ary qualifications,
just as entrance to all other institu-
tons Of highe~ learning is open to
those who desire to take courses in
these institutions. This policy would
enable those with ability and with am
