IMMIGRATION BILL
Delegates Turns Down PROPOSE
ton of Advertising Promoter
To Print Labor Directory.

The Federated Trades and Labor as
sembly got down to. business in old
fashioned style last Friday evening at
it's second regular February meeting.
President William Murnian occupied
the chair. Secretary w. J. butcher
read a number of communications one
of which was from Frank Morrison,
secretary Of the A. f. of L., urging
every union man to write to members
of congress in support of the passage
of the Burnett immigration bill.
An enterprising st. Paul. printer
called the attention of the Duluth un-
ion to the fact that he had on hand
an assorted supply of exceptionally
fine paper containing the .watermark
Of the International Paper Makers
union.
J. Beerhalter, brewers, Henry PEREZ
ault and John Zimmerman, cigar
makers were seated as delegates from
their respective unions.
It was reported that, the black
smiths union had been reorganized
and that President Hall of the State
Federation of Labor was to give this
struggling local union his earnest at
tentior.
A young man appeared at the meet
ing and asked for the endorsement of
the delegates to a private enterprise
to print q union directory of Duluth
and Superior unions. He offered to
pay the trade assembly twenty five
per cent Of the receipts to be derived
from advertising if the endorsement
was given him. He stated he had al
ready received contracts for advertis-
ing in the amount of $4,000. He fur
Their stated he expected to get out the
directory whether or not he received
any union endorsement.
TIL delegates refused to have any
thing to do with the proposition, pre-
ferring to permit The Labor World
and the State Federation of Labor to
have the right of the advertising field
81 far as union labor is concerned
Upon motion, the publishers of the al
legged union labor directory were no.
titled that il they attempted to pub
lish a book under the name of union

DANBURY HATTERS'
FUND AWAY SHORT
Local Unions Urged To Hasten
Their Contributions To Labor
Martyrs.

The false stories circulated through
the daily papers about the amount Of
money said to have been sent for the
relief of the D anbury Hatters has
done these men considerable harm.
AS matter of fact the matters at Dan
bury are very much disappointed over
the poor response to the appeal of the
A. F.. of l.. for donations to the fund
to be raised to save their homes
Up to the middle of February, Sec
rotary Morrison of the A. F. of L. re-
ported that he had received only
about $4,000. Something in. the
neighborhood of s350,0O0 is required
to protect the defendants. The returns
are by no means all in and there is
no doubt but that much larger sum
will be realized.
If any Duluth union has not for
Warded it's contribution it should do
so at once and without further delay.

LETTER FROM UNION PRINTER
PROMPTS COUNCIL TO APPEAL

davlt in which he shall state that he
Is a resident of the election district
in which he intends to vote, etc.
the judge of election shall re-
celve his vote although his names
does not appear upon the registration
rolls
1T occurs to me that the charter
distinctly provides that any citizen
although he is not registered may
sign petition and that the clerk can
rot count him off a petition if he has
not registered; that a petition can be
amended within 10 days after the
clerk makes his certificate.
Wherefore, I believe it is the duty
of the city council to have the Arm
DRY case appealed to the Supreme
court, and in all justice to the leaders
of the referendum fight the appeal
should be submitted to an attorney of
their choosing for suggestions or ap-
prevail before being filed. The ques-
ton arises as to the individual rights
of citizens in the matter Of petition
ing for the initiative and referendum
and should be determined now. If the
supreme court so rules that those
rights are hampered, abridged, or
eliminated in these vital issues of a
democratic government the sooner
we find it out the better, so that al
terations can be made that will grant
to the people the greatest amount of
latitude consistent to good democratic
government
whenever we look back in the
pages of history we note with pride
that one of the pillars upon which
;; American freedom is built is the
"Declaration of Independence" and
scrutinizing it closely we find:
THAT to secure these rights, gov
ernments are instituted among men,
deriving their just powers from the
consent of the governed; that When
ever any form of government be-
comes destructive of these ends, it is
the right of the people to alter or
abolish it?
These grand words should stick
cut as a warning to those who would
abridge in any manner the right of
citizens to participate in giving their
! consent to or voicing their disap-
proval of proposition that may be-
come an issue before them.
Let us have a Supreme court de-
cision to determine whether we have
abridged rights under the charter or
not.

PLAN JOINT DEBATE
Heads Of Dual Postal Clerks Or
CARNATIONS To Thresh Out
Differences. 3.

An open debate on the question of
"The Affiliation of Postoffice Clerks
with the American Federation of La
bor." is to be held in Indianapolis
under the auspices of the local union
of the National Federation of Postof-
flee Clerks. This was decided at the
regular meeting of the body recently
held in that city.
A challenge has been issued and ac-
cepted by the United National Asso-
citation of Postoffice Clerks which is
not affiliated with the A. F of L.
Frank T. Rogers, president of the
federation, probably will take the
negative side of the question while
the affirmative will be presented by
Thomas F. Flaherty, national secre-
tary of the National Federation:
The debate will be held some time
after the close of the present congress,
which probably will be in the middle
of the summer. More definite details
ARE to be worked out at a meeting of
the local organization.

CHILDREN vs.. PIGS

"You couldn't fix an age limit for
child labor any more than you could
tell when pig becomes hog"
The quotation is from one Of the ar
guments made by the opponents of the
Heating bill, which has been passed by
the Lower House of Congress and
which now awaits the action of the,
Senate.
This detestable child-pig-hog COM
parison seems likely to produce re-
suit opposite from the one intended.
Evidently the best thing for the
Heating bill is to let it's opponents keep
right on talking.
