HOP TO Make DRY
LEAGUE PERMANENT
Will Assist Workers Who Will
Lose Jobs When Town
Goes Dry.

Richard Jones, manager OF the dry
committee, announced this week that
the Duluth Trade Union Dry League
will be a permanent organization. Its
members will continue to work in the
Interest of the dry movement and an
effort will be made to find employ
ment for all workingmen now en-
ployed who will lose their jobs as a
result Of the town going dry.
The dry league will become a sort
Of displacement organization. All bar
tenders, porters, broweryworkers or
cigarmakers who are to be thrown out
Of employment as a result of the dry
election will, upon request made to
work at other occupations.
The Trade Union Dry League recog-
nizes the force of the argument set up
by the workingmen employed in con-
nection with the liquor traffic and
every effort will be made to induce
local employers to try out at other
occupations workingmen who will
lose their jobs as a result Of the town
going dry.
According to Senator Jones the
Trade Union Dry League will begin
early to get a. list of employers who
have signified a willingness to assist
all men thrown out of employment as
a result of the closing of the saloon.
In this manner the dry league will at
tempt to be a friend to the working
man who regards the league as his
enemy.

WASHINGTON, June ga. F., of

the laws of the American Federation

which those who are members of
a union already in existence or eligi-

OF "Mrs. Matt" play practically
new this season, critics everywhere,
have said that it fits Miss Robson
most exquisitely, because, through
her genius, her spontaneity, and her,
knowledge of how to sway tears into
laughter, she has given the public not
only a play that will amuse, but set
that the whole world is akin.
Mary" played only at the special
matinee Monday, it is needless to say
that she will give to her auditors the
same spirited presentation that has
caused her name to become almost a
household word in all the regionsaof
the earth wherein the English speak

Robson is now on her ninth Trans

The. strike of: the iron; miners on
the Mesaba range is attracting state
wide attention. The I. w. W. is not

benefactor it has failed to demon
strate it's usefulness to- labor In most
instances. 49, .:E
It is learned that the strike: of tho
iron miners was not instigated by the
I. w. w., but was provoked by a
bully superintendent of the st. James
mine at Aurora, who worked the
miners into accepting a contract I'M
der ceratin representations and when
the men attempted to carry out their
contract they found they could not
make. a living at it. They were
bothered considerably with the large
amount of earth and rock in the ore,
for which they received no pay. The
men protested against this and asked
for a revision of the contract and
they were told point blank that no re-
vision would be made. A strike was
then called and it spread like Wild
fire throughout the range.
The l.: w. w. leaders, who were in
Duluth, heard Of the trouble and Of
fered their assistance, which was &C
cepted The only organization of
miners recognized by the A. F. of L.
is the Western Federation of Miners.
It is not believed that any kind Of
labor organization would be tolerated
on the ranges. that is if the mining
companies and their agents there can
have their way.
1t is pity that the miners are be-
ing mislead by the rantings and raw
ings of the irresponsible I. W. w.
leaders. There is no question but
that the iron miners have just
grievance which should be met and
settled by the mining companies. If
the spirit Of tolerance prevailed any
ordinary committee could settle the
strike in less time than it takes to

The law does not permit the i'm

/ v. ". STRIKE ON MESABA RANGE: :: :: /:
!" SPREADS; PRIVATE POLICE A MENACE

about the only law breaking that has
occurred on the ranges has been
provoked BY these men. 49,.
Organized labor is attempting to
secure the passage Of "a law in the
state legislature prohibiting corpora
tons. from maintaining private ar
miess'~ This law, il passed.: will go a
long wayys-toward~ heading off law
breaking; IN times OF strikes. The po-
lice authority; of the state should
never be delegated as SUCH. A police
officer employed by a private cor
poration is interested only In pro-
tecting such lives and such property
him may be interested. A police Of
ficer employed by the county is
sworn to protect all lives and all
property; the lives of the striking
miners as we'll as the lives Of the Of
ficers Of the mining companies.
George King, the special police Of
ficer for the Duluth, Missabe &
Northern railway, might have been
prompted by high impulse to pull
down the red banner of the I. w. W.,
but he used mighty poor judgment
unless he wished to provoke a riot
IT there was anything unlawful in
carrying the banner, it would have
been the duty Of the state peace Of
ficers to make arrests and not the
agent of a corporation.
The sooner we understand that this
is government of law and not Of
corporations, we shall not have law
lessness attending labor strikes. The
strong arm of the law should not be
used with abuse. Most of the
anarchy we know anything about is
started from the abuses practiced by
the agents of private corporations,
who have taken the law into their
own hands, such as many of them are
doing on the ranges.
We must never forget that the
miners have right to strike for any
reason or for no reason. They have
right to choose their own leaders.
They have a. right to peacefully as
semble in public places and in private
halls. The right to assemble in pub
lie places shall only be abridged
when such assembly will not inter-
fere with the rights of the public,
such as congesting traffic.
If the sheriff of st. Louis county
knows his duty he will not tolerate
meddlesome interference in enforcing
the law from the private army of the
Steel Trust.

FEDERAL BUREAU
:. ASKED A ! | BY WOMEN
Bills In Congress Provide Special
Department to Look After
$3.50 Interests of Women.
NV Fiederick II. Kerby.Y


WASHINGTON, June 24.-Women
mental bureau to look after their in
terestFc.c- Tx. .;s;3. 49, 5~;.oy .,sj;,.,
Organizations representing between
two and three million organized
women-many Of them voters-have
secured Introduction into the house
and senate of bills creating woman's
division OF the =. s. department" of
labor. :
Representative John J. Casey, of
Pennsylvania, in the house, and Sena-
tor Wesley L~Jones in the Senate. are
sponsors for: identical bills creating
such a division, which is to have a
chief, who must be woman, at a
salary of $4,000, and a force of special
agents, clerks and assistants.
Growing importance of women in
industry is given as the reason for
the demand for her recognition in the
federal government by a special divi-
sion.
The work of the division will be to
report to the Secretary Of labor on all
matters pertaining to the welfare Of
women, particularly Wage-earning
women: the effect of competition on
women in industry; the effect Of in
dustrial occupations on women's
health, home life, etc.
The legislation is demanded by the
National Consumers League, the
Women's Trade Union League, and
the General Federation of Women's
clubs.
The women contend they have men
in charge of the investigation of
women's problems in industry.
The first attempt to deal with in
dustrial problems Of women was made
in 1911, when. a. woman's division
within the Bureau of Labor Statistics
was established.
Miss Marie L. Obenauer was in
charge of this work, but the mere
men in charge of the bureau found so
many other uses for the funds of the
bureau, the women's division was al
most starved: out.
Last year this division received only
per cent Of the total appropriation
of $4,000 for the Bureau of Labor
Statistics.
notwithstanding this, the division
turned out 10 per cent Of the bulle-
tins issued by the bureau. Miss Oben-
auer resigned, and with her the entire
staff of special agents employed in
the women's division.
The women's organization backing
the Casey-Jones bill contend that as
women in industry constitute one-fifth
of all persons industrially employed,
women are entitled to more considera-
ton from the federal government.
The bill. carries an" appropriation of
$4,000, or-practically one-fifth of the
appropriation, that now goes: to the

BETTER WAGES FOR
STATIONARY FIREMEN

Stationary firemen employed at the
distillery in Omaha, Neb., have in
creased wages to $22 week, eight
hours a day and six days a week.
Former rates were $3.50 a week, II
hours a day and seven days a week.
This job was considered one of the
worst in the city and could not be
organized because of the company's
refusal to allow any unionist to enter
the premises, and if an employe
happened to join a labor union he
was discharged. BY a house to house
canvass the men wc~e organized. In
less than three months following this
announcement the company increased
wages $3.50 a week. with a decrease
of SO working hours each week.
