CUTS NIGHT
PRESS wine RATES
Rivalry. Between Two Large Tele-
phone Companies Cause Big:
Rate Reduction.

NEW YORK, Sept. 3O.-Six months
ago the rate for special press wires
was $40 per mile per year for night
service. The Western Union cuts
this. rate on August z to SIS. This
was met by the Postal with further
cut to- $3.50 per mile year for
leased press wires. Some idea of the
expense to which large daily paper
is subjected as result of the higher
rate is shown from the fact that one
Chicago paper paid approximately
$4,000 per year for, it's service; the
last cut reduces that amount to
$4,000. -
President Mackay Of the Postal
company is quoted as saying: "Our
wires are idle at night and so we can
afford to transmit news freely and
cheaply. We have decided to do so.
No announcement. has been made
of a reduction in the rate for day
wires, which remains at $40, eight
times the rate now paid by the Postal
for night service: Some Indication
of the reduction in night rates is
shown by the fact that at the be-
ginning of the; year the Associated
Press leased $4,000 miles of wire at
a cost of $336,000 for night service.
If the Western Union follows the
example of the Postal, the cost of
$4,000 miles Of wire will be $4,000,
or a saving of $252,OOO from the
rate paid previous to August L., ,

R0CKEFELLER'S ARMY
ATTACKED BY COURT
New Jersey Judge Holds It i
Anarchy for Corporations to.
Have Private Police.

JERSEY CITY, Sept 30.-The
Hudson County grand jury, which is
expected to investigate the cases of
the guards who are being held in
connection with the killing of three
citizens during the recent strikes at
the Bayonne plants of the Standard
Oil and Tidewater Oil companies,
have been. sworn in by Supreme
Court Justice Swayze.
The justice reviewed the State riot
laws, explaining that twelve armed
persons, or thirty unarmed persons
engaging in disorder, constituted a
riot; but private persons had no right
to suppress riots and, consequently,
no right to maintain armed forces
for that purpose.
He added that if private parties
had such rights anarchy would re-
suit; that no person had the right
to take life solely for. the protection
of property, and if life was taken in
defense of property only it consti-
tuted murder. If persons illegally
armed themselves in defense of pro-
perty,. the justice said, and death re-
suited, all were equally guilty of
murder, for all who participated in
an illegal act were equally guilty.

H|BB|NC OFFICIALS
UNFAIRLY TREATED
Nothing Unusual In Visit of State
Public Examiner to Fight
ing Village.
Tho state -nuh1ic 1

The state public examiner, An
drew Fritz, with two deputies,
Wednesday visited Hibbing and be-
gan an audit of the books and &C
counts of the officials of that village.
The Duluth daily papers reported
the visit of the public examiner and
assistants in an exceedingly sensa-
tional manner, as if the state of Min
nesota was taking a very unusual
course in examining the books of
Fritz and his deputies made such a
visit to the st. Louis county court
house only recently, and his deputies
are now making an audit of the
books and accounts of the county Of
ficials in the. same manner and with
the same purpose as they are doing
at Hibbing.
1t is not fair to the officials of Eibs
bling to publish newspaper articles in
such manner as to lead the public to
believe in advance that there is some
thing rotten in the accounts of the
officials of that village. We do not
understand that Mr.. Fritz is doing
anything out of the ordinary by go
ing to Hibbing at this time. Under
the law he is supposed to check the
accounts of every public officials in
Minnesota His work will be hamp-
cred, and the integrity of the officials
of Hibbing will be unduly questioned
by the publication OF such news ar
ticles as appeared in the Duluth pa
pers Wednesday
Every newspaper should recognize
it's obligation to the public. It's power
III moulding public opinion should
never be abused, and when any news
paper Attempts to prejudice the pub
lie against public officials, as is be-
ing done in the Hibbing case before
the examiners shall have rendered
their report, it is treading upon dan
Serous soil.
When the public examiners ap-
peared at the county court house fo1
the purpose of auditing the accounts
Of the st. Louis county officials there
was scarcely a line inserted in the

NIGHT SCHOOLS To
= OPEN MONDAY NEXT
Working Men Should Attend
Courses Provided Especial
ly for Foreigners.

Duluth has the most progressive
school board in the United States. The
city leads most American cities in in
dustrial training in her schools. The
new schools for defective children and
the open air schools for children in
poor health indicate that the school
authorities are alive to the needs OF
the community.
The night schools too are filling a
great need, and particularly in a city
with such a percentage of foreign
population such as we have here. The
night schools will open next Monday.
Indications point to a heavy enroll
ment A course in English for for
eigners will be given in the Central
High School,t Monro- School, Irving
School, and the new Harriet Beecher
Stowe School.
One of the most important divisions
of the night school will be that at
tended by pupils of the seventh and
eighth grades who have been granted
employment certificates. Under the
terms of the permit those who hold
them must attend night sessions at
one of the schools.
The Labor Word hopes that Duluth
workingmen who were denied educa-
tional opportunities during their
childhood, will avail themselves of
the chance now given to attend night
school.

WOULD | L They ARREST n /:
y, NJ c. A. MEMBERS J! S
Bartenders' Union Holds Smoker.
Everything Orderly, But Po-
lice Arrest Officers. ~

The Duluth Bartenders' Union
gave it's annual smoker last Sunday
afternoon at the club room of the
union, rs East Michigan street. AZ
ter the business of the meeting was
transacted the members were enter
tanned by songs and music. ...
A part of the program was a. three
round sparring exhibition by two To-
cal men,. They used - ounce "pil-
lows similar to those used at the Y.
Nj. c.. A. and other gymnasiums.
While the exhibition was on, the po-
lice entered the hall and arrested the
officers of the union. They were Bert
Collins, president, and Fred Bernard,
secretary. Hayes and Juntile, the
two young boxers were also arrested,
each of them was released on $25
bail ''s
After the arrest, when the weight
of the gloves used was ascertained,
the arrested men were not booked for
violating the prize fight law, but were
held on a charge of disorderly con-
duct. They were arraigned Monday
morning and their trial was set for
Thursday afternoon. ..
No admission fee was charged as
the entertainment was conducted un-
der the auspices of the union and
only members and a few invited
guests were present. The young
boxers were paid no money for TAX
ing part in the entertainment and
the matter was purely social af-
fair.
Similar stunts are pulled off in the
Y. M. c. A. repeatedly and the police
would never think of breaking into
that sort of an institution. Indeed
last fall two young men hammered
each other 20 fercely at one of the
Y. M. c. A. bouts that one was OBJ
liged to give up.
It should be remembered that
while some people may object to
Sabbath amusements Of this kind,
Sunday is the only day when bar
tenders do not work, and it is the
only day when they can all come to.
gether. They have organized in
connection with their club rooms q
library and the institution is regarded
as a home for the unmarried mem.
bers of the union. Their business
makes them social outcasts, and the
harmless bit of amusement they were
enjoying Sunday, under the circum.
stances, should not have been inter.
fered with by the police, unless they
were morally certain that the law
was being violated.

can Federation Of Labor, and labor
advocate for the metal polishers, buff
fers, platers, brass and silver work.
ers unions of North America, is a
visitor in Duluth.
Mr.. Merchant was instrumental in
inducing the w. A. Ives Manufacture
ing Co. of Wallingford to- unionize
their factory and place the union la
bel on their product. The firm is the
manufacturer of the well known
"Mephisto" bit, used extensively by
carpenters, Wood-workers and elec-
tritians. Since this firm adopted the
union label the members of the Ma
tional Association of Manufacturers
have discouraged jobbers from hand
ling the ''Mephisto" bit. Mr." eMer-
chant is touring the country and urg-
ing union carpenters and electricians
to use lin their work the "Mephisto'..
bit, which Bears the union label. It
is being handled by one local hard
ware store. AS the Duluth whole
salers do not handle this union label

Duluth So carpenters and 4, cleo
tricians, inal their : meetings. have
pledged: themselves & to buy ::*5 their
working tools from; :. stores which
handle such: goods as bear the union
label. = 81 -. -. -,
On account Of the fact, that mer-
| chants and manufacturers associa-
| tons are discouraging the: handling
of union label goods of all sorts, a
! mail order house has recently been
! organized in New York and cata-
| logues are being. sent to the homes of
union men throughout the nation.
| This mail order house will handle
| nothing but union made goods and
! will carry an extensive stock such as

that are we'll known to the people OF
the country.
| AS a. result Of this move it. is be-
lieved that local. merchants will pay
more attention to the handling OF
union made goods in the future II
they do not, their trade is likely to
go to the union label mail. order
houses. Slowly but surely the
union men of the country are begin
ming to realize their great power as
purchasers.

ers and machinists have been con-
Quoting a vigorous campaign among

date. If a conference is not granted
