1--WE stood behind Tresca, Scarlet
nd Schmidt because we believed they
were being prosecuted. We still hold
to that belief. That men should be
accused of murder when they were ad-
mittedly miles from the scene of the
fight, on the theory that they "acqui-
esced" in what had been done, is con-
trary to human understanding, and
We believed then as we do now, th>t
ton never had the slightest idea of
their ability to convict.
Meanwhile, of course, Tresca, Scar
lett and Schmidt were confined in Jail.
Charges have been made that Nick
Dillon murdered a candy-vendor in
the melee, when the Myron tragedy
occurred. Dillon, clothed with the
tvate mining corporation, sought to
serve a warrant for unlawful assem-
bly,. Dillon, it is charged, shot the
candy-vendor.
, Why hasn't Nick Dillon been ar
rested? Why weren't the officials Of
the mining companies in whose en-
ploy Dillon was, arrested and thrown
into Jail on the theory that they "ac-
quiesced' in the murder of the candy
vendor?
Attitude of Press.
The public press has spared no
.pains to bring out the undesirable
Features of the Industrial Workers Of
the World as an organization, in at
tempting to cover up the bold injus-
[tices done under the cloak of the law
with respect to Tresca, Scarlet and
Schmidt.
The county attorneys office has
been in possession of all the evidence
they thought they needed to go ahead
with the trials Of these men months
ago. We appreciate the fact that the
recent requests for continuance came
from the defense, but did not the
county attorney know months ago, as
Well as last week, that the evidence
against these men was insufficient to
convict?
Meanwhile, as We stated hereto
fore. Tresca, Scarlet and Schmidt re-
mained in the 'dingy, over-crowded,
foul county Jail.
The Commission on Industrial Re-
lations, in it's report to congress some
time ago, gave as one of the reasons

! BOSTON, Dec. 1S.-Billy Sunday
turned his batteries on capitalists and

said:

Men, true to their families, will be

UNIONS SHOULD

Some weeks ago the publisher of
The Labor World sent a. letter to the
secretaries of the various local unions
in Duluth and vicinity, stating that we
would send the Labor World for three
months to members of local unions if
he could obtain their names.
We are sure The Labor World will
be interesting to every member of or
ganized labor in Minnesota during the
next four or five months, especially in
view of the fact that the legislature
convenes Jan. 2, and as we have ar
ranged to secure detailed reports of
the doings Of the Legislature with re-
gard to labor bills.
In order to carry out our plans it
is positively necessary that local Sec
retaries cooperate with us. It will
not do to send in these names at the
last minute if you desire to receive
copy of every issue Of the paper
from the beginning of the year.
1t requires time and labor to pre-
pare our mailing lists and we there
fore earnestly request every local Sec
retary to send us the names of the
members as quickly as possible.
We are willing to do our share.

Auto License
Money Shows
Bio Increase

County Treasurer S. NJ. Bause has
received from the state Of Iowa
$12,654 of auto license money, the pay
ment being the semi-annual spring
distribution to the county Of its share
OF the collections made by the state.
The large increase this payment shows
over the money received from the state
1915 indicates that the total for the
year will be $1,000 or more over last
year. .&.E
The amount Just received Is more
than the total received by. the county
in 1915 and 1t Is nearly SO per cent
more than the total of 1914. Last year
the total auto license money the
county received was $12,456, and in
1914 the sum was ss.T7S.24. 1t will be
noted that the payment just received
is $19S more than the total of both
payments in 1915 and S3,S75.76 more
than the total received in 1914.
The very large increase in the spring
payment is due to more automobiles
being licensed and especially to more
licenses being bought be-
fore April 1 because OF the penalty
clause in the new law.
If late in the summer, when the
second distribution is received, 1t Is
IS 900, or even equal to the amount re-
ceived by the second distribution last
year, the total for the year will be
s17,654, nearly 5000 more than last
year and $S,S7S more than was re-
ceived in 1914.

Now For Sweet Corn.


Sweet corn at IS per ton is profit
able and satisfactory crop to grow.
We want to arrange for the production
Of 1000 acres Of this crop. A large
percentage is already booked.
The possibilities of this crop for pro-
ducing a money crop, and a crop Of
feed, on the same land in the same
season, are very large.
The past few seasons 1t has been
found practical to double disc the
sweet corn stuhble and sow winter
wheat. This crop may be put in as
late as Oct. 20 and yet yield a good re-
turn. The experience locally has re-
suited in yields of about thirty five
bushels Of wheat per acre. The money
from this croy will buy more oats than
can be raised on the same acreage.
Try a twenty-acre field this season.
Sow it to winter wheat this fall. Next
spring there will be twenty acres which
will not have to be seeded with oats.
