The bulgarian port of varna is on
the Black sea. few miles south Of
the Roumanian border. 1t is rail-
road terminus. This city and Bugas,
nifty miles further south. are the
principal Bulgarian Black sea ports.
On several occasions since the be-

Serbia It has been reported that the
Russians would attempt an invasion
OF Bulgaria from the sea, and 1t has
been said forces were being concen-

( Ransom Metcalfe, editor of ) the
Steel Plant News at New Duluth and
Gay. declares that the Gay system of
instruction should: be given a fair
trial. He discusses the action of Du-
luth Socialists in protesting against
the system as follows in last weeks
issue of the News: -
Because the Minnesota Steel COM
pany has asked that the Gary system
OF instruction be adopted at the Nor
gan Park schools does not imply that
the company seeks to control the
schools, as is indicated by the resolu-
tons; recently adopted by the Social
lists Of Duluth. Because this system
appears to be a good one to the Off
Gals of the company as well as many
other citizens is good reason why it
should at least be given a fair trial
before it is condemned. If the trial
should demonstrate. that it is for the
benefit of the rising generation then
it should be adopted in all schools of
the. city: It would seem that the So
cialists oppose it simply because it
was suggested by the officers of the
steel corporation.
There have been many criticisms
OF American schools in the past be-
cause of the fact that they have de-
voted too much attention to the few
who manage to get into the high
schools and much too little to the
needs Of those who are compelled to
leave school at an earlier age. The
News believes these criticisms are

Minnesota employers undoubtedly

auspices of the Minnesota Employers
association, a. mutual liability COM
pany is now being organized in this
state. The company made applica-
ton for admission at st. Paul last
Thursday. E. L.. Johnson, since 1918
connected with the Wisconsin .Insur-
ance Department as chief examiner
has resigned his position to- become
manager of the new Employers Mu-
tual Liability, company Of minnesota.
The new company Isl organized to
cheaper the cost of insurance to en-
ployers under the Workingman's
Compensation act. 1t will operate in
competition to the old stock employ
ers' liability companies. While en-
ployers may be lead to believe that
their mutual scheme will, head off
state insurance, they will find before
they go very far. that it will only be
a stepping stone to the state handling
accident insurance business in its en-
tirety.

Mr.. Buhr is. making a. CAMPAIGN
against .Hedrick on account Of the
fact that the latter voted at the

vention against the shortening of the
working day by law Mr.. Hedrick
evidently does not believe that legis-
lation applying to hours of labor and
wages will be of any considerable
help to the workingmen. He believes
With Samuel Gompers and every
other thoughtful trade unionist that
shorter workday and living wage
can be maintained only by effective
organizations of labor. It has been
proven where minimum wage and the
eight-hour laws have been passed
that in most cases they are dead let
tiers uponethe statute books.
President Hedrick no doubt takes
the trade unionist. view Of the case,
while his opponent does not. It is to
be hoped that the Duluth painters
will give Hedrick the endorsement he
So richly deserves. 49, J."

USE HIGH SCHOOL Pupils
To FIGHT ORG MED I ABOR

I Everybody In Duluth knows or at
least should know, that the Rex and
Lyric theatefs2are unfair to organized
labor. Irrespective of any claim made
by the manager Of these theaters 1t
can be truthfu1ly; said, that he has 10
love for. union labor, nor did he ever
possess any. % g.. = $s: .~I .,
At the time Of the strike he paid
his individual operators less than the
union scale and less than his COM
petitors.a His quarrel with organized
labor grew out f, his insulting, domi-
neering and Incorporating attitude
towards the union whose representa-
tives tried to do business with him.
That the Rex and Lyric theaters
are unfair to organized labor is due
entirely due to the manner in which
their manager treated the members
Of organized labor. Thomas Furniss
Is, no fool. Hesknows how to play the
game and howt,to trot the unions "a
merry race. He has artfully appealed
to every santi-labor sentiment in the
city, and almost every family that
has, no use Tor. labornis seeing to it
that the Rex theater. at least gets q,
good share Of its patronage.
The next step of Mr.. Furniss was
to- interest the high school pupils in
entertainments at the Rex theater.
The pupils circulate busily through
the school and, sell tickets by the
hundreds so that the unfair Rex
theater may, he we'll filled. They in
turn are given fifty per cent of the
receipts. These tickets are sold in
the high school building, contrary TO
the rules and. regulations, of the
board Of education. a.. 49,. -
Now comes the boys department Of
the Y. NC: A. It's management has
fallen for Mt urniss' artful game.

NEW HAVEN, Conn, Dec. ,9.-For
the first time in the history Of the
Winchester Repeating Arms Conn.,
pany, there is a, strike on. at that
plant. Most Of those who are out are
machinists and toolmakers, who de-
mand the eight-hour day. Those who
went out say that the eight-hour
schedule, which was voluntarily ap-
piled by the company in August, is
not maintained. &. -.
The men formed in fours and,
marching through the streets near the
shops, urged. others to join them.
John J. Egan, NATIONAL organizer Of
the Machinfsts' Union, is here and
sent word to J. J. Kepp1er, the inter-
national vice president, who is in New
York. Keppler conducted the strike:
of the Remington and Union Metallic
Cartridge Company's plant at Bridge
port last summer. !, - e..
: 1--WE believe we will, have the same
good luck at the Winchester plant"
said Egan. '"The company announced
several months ago that it would put
into effect an eight-hour day, but. 1t
has never done so. The hours at the
plant now are ten hours a day for six
days in the week, and a man has to
work u hours "a week before he is
able to draw any overtime pay. The
company has: not done what it said
it would do, and believe that we will
have several thousand men on our
side before long" ss q Z. z; ,. ..:sS 4.
