TAKE PROFITS OUT OF WAR
(By CONGRESSMAN Clyde H. Tavenner>

(By Congressman Clyde H. Tavenner)
The question has been raised as to
the patriotism OF those. who insist
upon the government, manufacture OF
all munitions Of war including bat
tleships. Z. can not see how it can be
contended. that it lis. any more pa.
triotfc to advocate two. battleships to
be built by private contractors, with
huge profits; to the builders than it
is to advocate two battleships to be
constructed by the government, which
policy means that for every dollar
expended for battleships we will get
dollars worth of battleship, and
that the. men who actually do the
work Of building the ships will re-
ceive higher wages and work under
tar better conditions than if the con.
tracts are given to the shipbuildine
trust. ,@..a Ss,l.s s.. -: -

ADVERTISING THE CRY

Strange ideas prevail in certaip quarters as to
advertising the city. These ideas not peculiar to
Duluth and Superior. e:% '"'.' :# > il"
Last Spring the New York Times published
port of unemployment investigation made by a
large insurance company in which Duluth enum-
Grated having at that time the elargest number of
unemployed proportionately among it's policy hold
efs. The daily paper of the Twin Ports had nothing
to say to these conditions, evidently preferring
have the surrounding country believe the two cities
at their zenith of prosperity If it were not for
the fact that such outside advertising
mon to the city seeking employment little objection
could be raised to these tactics
1t would appear to us that for the real benefit
of the city, and know that in justice the workers.
the method would be to recognize the truth
situation and prepare to meet it.
Now comes another gala day for advertising" the
city. The United States Steel Corporation open
its plant November first Let the city rejoice!
Let all celebrated! is the cry. Duluth and Superior
are making ready to hail the opening Of the plant
except few far sighted business and out of work
citizens who danger in the proposal. - -. ,...
We were especially grattfied to learn through the
columns of the evening paper by telephone call
that many of Duluth's prominent business men have
started movement in opposition to the celebration
plan. These those who have the clearest
sight as to the best interests of Duluth. These
are deeply concerned in the prosperity Of this city
AS one has expressed it, he would ,"sooner advertise
for help than be in position where refuse
work to a SOBER industrious with a family who
has lived In Duluth for years who to plead
ing for opportunity to honest dollar" This
Is the sentiment that does crediet
The feeling that Duluth labor first be employed
and not be forced to compete with outside labor
true home spirit philosophy. is the spirit which
should it prevail will make of Duluth truly worthy
city.
We appreciate the hopes held out by a certain
class of "business' in Duluth and Superior,
The Labor World hold no brief for them. We are
interested in the workers in and the organized
workers in particular.
Let it be understood that effort is being made
to dampen the ardor of those who would rejoice but
let join with the progressive business men of Du
luth in adding little caution to the procedure.
Duluth and Superior cannot afford to swell the
ranks of the unemployed by hundreds possibly
sands. Duluth is not interested in becoming the
charity house, of the Northwest and particularly
is not concerned with little element which hopes to
unload and reap selfish gain the opening of
the steel plant
It will be time enough to celebrate when every
working man living in Duluth and Superior has Job
When that Is accomplished then the workers join
hands with the business and sing praises to the
Most High.

Harm has been done to the labor movement of
this state by that vote! True, 1t will in any way
impair the immediate advancement the movement of
the state to great extent but it nevertheless will be
the of great deal of unnecessary and unjust
antagonism.

not believe it to be true.

that the proceedings this the most harmon-

element that opposes progressive measure pro-
vided it is supported by "despised faction in the
federation.
Such attitude should find no place in the or
ganized labor movement.
For the benefit Of those who voted, honestly and
otherwise, against the resolution at the Wnona con-
