ADV|CES TO AUTO
 OWNERS IN DISTRICT
Secretary of the Warren Dis trict Club Issues Some Good
 Advice to Auto Owners.

The Warren District Automobile Club wishes to call the attention of the auto owners in the District to the following facts as drawn up by the secretary:
 Automobile owners should see to locking their extra tires on their cars with small lock and chain. There have been quite few new tires stolen lately simply because they were not safely fastened on the car
 When you buy new car take the number of same and if stolen, the officers will have better chance to locate same.
 Keep your tool box locked as you may find your tools short when you are most in need of them.
 When your car is not running at night time. please turn out the lights as the approaching car owner can not tell whether your car is in motion or not if the lights are on brightly. If you will make sure of your dinner when passing another car, same will be muchly appreciated.
 The old road to Douglas via the Country Club will be found much bet ter 10 travel on than the Douglas road via Lowell. The old road takes you to Forrest Station then to Douglas over the new road The writer went this route last Sunday and found it in very good condition.

THAT STEEL TRUST RAISE.

Many people have addressed inquiries to The

Members of the legislature from the Duluth dis
employees.
They said, s'you are labor paper and here is
something that is good for labor yet you ignore it. -
A few months ago, the steel trust announced
that it's employees were to be given raise.
That raise was never given except to a few
clerks. We say few because they are few in
comparison to the number of workers employed by
the steel trust.
The men in the steel mills were never given that
raise.
The men in the mines given that
raise.
And then the steel trust said they were going
to give another raise That is the corporation heads
in New York said So
BUT DID YOU NOTICE THAT OFFICIALS OF
THE OLIVER MINING COMPANY IN DULUTH

RAISE?

tremes as to forbid the federal authority to proceed
to enforce the so-caed eight-hour law, the conse-
quences might be more disastrous to the judiciary
than to the railway employees. For, in any event.
they are free to strike.
There is apparent purpose on the part Of the
financial interests that control the railways to invite
a strike. The railways have broken down. They
are ceasing to perform their functions. Through
Wall street nagement-through the banking in
terests which have made railway presidents office
boys-the railways have been MIXED dry They
are without the equi pment necessary to carry on
the countrys business. Now, what could serve the
responsible capitalists better than to force srike
by placing judicial veto upon the eight-hour law?
In of a strike, with the great bulk of the
press absolutely controlled by the moneyed inter-
ests the responsibility for the failure of the rail-
ways to perform their functions could be placed
upon the strikers. The insiders could clean up
millions through stock market manipulations. It
is almost certain that in such event the demand for
government ownership would become irresistible.
But even that may have not been overlooked by the
men who move in higher sphere. It is quite pos
sible that they have concluded that now is the time
to unload upon the government by exchanging their
watered securities for federal bonds.
Whatever the purpose that the Wall street in
tcrests have in view, it has long been evident that
they will not be happy until they get it.

WEEPING FOR N0NUN1oN1STS,

The two special loves of the pleader for capital
ism are the ''widows and orphans'' who own stocks
and bonds and the poor nonuniOnist'' who is not
represented by the union leaders,
The New York Times pours out whole column
of editorial tears upon the head Of the 'nonunon-
list who is forgotten when organized labor starts to
raise wages.
Strange as 1t may seem, one has ever heard
the nonunionist complain about union tyranny He
always leaves this to those who are so eager to rep
resent him. Perhaps it has penetrated into his mind
that in spite of what his volunteer defenders have
to say, the union is really his only friend:
The nounionist is drag upon the labor move
ment By hanging on in his disorganized state he
cannot help but be dragged up little as he helps
drag down the union membership. It is for his
downward drag that he is loved by The Times It
is because of the upward drag that he retains a
weak and wabbly friendship for organized labor
The nonunionst knows that he gets higher wages
because the unions exist. He is secretly ashamed
of his lack of solidarity cowardice and selfish
ness which prevents him from uniting with his fell
low workers and fighting like man for better con-
ditions
In spite of itself the union must fight his battles
Those who praise him for his meekness and point
to his miserable condition only call attention to the
advantages of organization They may succeed in
rousing him where union organizers have failed.
So far from wishing to exclude the nonunionist
from the benefits Of organization the unins spend
hudreds of thousands of dollars in trying to extend
those benefits to wider circles. It is not because
they fear that he will be deprived Of these benefits
but because they fear he may get them that organs
like The Times bewail the fate Of tho nounionist
