Pullman Co.'S
Latest Move

Chicago, Ill.,-The Pullman Car
Company, in spite of the recent
controversy in dealing with the
car cleaners, which is very much
. in evidence at the present time,
can at least be said to he doing
or, ditable work along the lines of
the true American spirit, which
has revealed itself in adjusting the
differences of their own demand
and contention for competent aud
reliable employees for the car clean
ers service. This service which:
does not require Union labor any
more than thousand other kinds
of domestic occupations, is showing
the true unbiased American spirit
to the biased (white) labor Unions
by employing any color race or
creed that they are doing right and
showing justice to American citi
zens, and this new movement is of
great Importance to white Ameri-
can Unions and invites the ques-
ton, as a problem, as to whether
the Negro and foreigner who works
peacefully side by side, without
color prejudice, cannot further ex
tend their industrial energy by a
modern Union alliance that has
but one odject- that of honest la
bor rights in free country-with-
out the hostility of ULions that OBJ
ject to race, creed or coler. Mr..
Leach, the district superintendent
of the company, recently gave out
an interview to one of his foreman
stating that all reliable laborers
are sure of their jobs. A raise OF
wages is promised, and there will
be no discrimination. The latest
development in the future employ
ment of laborers is that non union
Polocks have recently been placed
in opon vacancies in turn and there
has been no discrimination tn us
far IN the placing of laborers in the
cleaning department. In dealing
with ques ion which mestic Ser
vitude, instead of manual, arises
in an occupation classed as do
trade or federated labor, it can be
positively asserted that a very
large element of white American
laborers ale decidedly in favor of a
general unbiased union. but their
views are swamped by the other
tanned faction of autiquated igncr-
ance, and it is that very fact that
is being proved in the most unaf-
fected ci'y in this country. To
be frank about the matter, there
are unions in Chicago who do not
object to Colored laborers and
tradesmen, apd especially those
from the South. who are very com
petent and civil, and with whom
they would rather work than with
foreigners. And all of this is a
great example to the new turn in
conditions of modern labor treaties

Excellent scores we're made on the
second day, the weather being IDEAL
All of the contestants shot up 10 theaI
reputation, and that il saying great
deal, as some worlds champions were
present.
For the professionals, George
Trent of Brainerd, Minn., ran high.
with the fine score of 14S out OF
possible $50. In addition to making
high score. he made straight runs OF

Ford shot 65 straight. J. H. Stairs
high score Of 103 was the feature of
the shoot. while George Trent's two
runs. 72 and 81, were remarkable.
The sentiment of all of the shooters
was that the Grand Forks club had
pulled off one Of the best shoots they
had attended in the northwest, and
that the splendid program that they
had prepared merited q much larger
attendance. 1t was thought that the
small attendance was chiefly due to
the fact that so many tournaments
have been held all through North Da-
kota and Minnesota during the past
few weeks that the shooters are losing
their interest.
