BIG EARNINGS NOT
SHARED BY WORKMEN

The annual report of the Western
Union Telegraph company, with De-
cember estimates included, shows
enormous gains in earnings. The
total revenue was s52,s56,2S6, against
$47,463,592 in 1914. The net income
of .$10,21S,371 represents an increase
OF $4,S46,9S6. The company:s balance
for 1915 of $11,553,9es shows a gain
Of $4,4s5,3s2. =
Compared with these gains. is the
report Of the commission on industrial
relations relative to the treatment of
workers. by telegraph companies. It
is stated that "the workers employed
by the two principal telegraph COM
panies (Western Union and PostaD

by the highest officials in their testi-

trary speed rates which frequently
result in overstrain, the arbitrary dis
charge of employees without notice

TRY CHIROPRACTIC
AND GET WELL AGAIN

BY DR.. Alexander Groham, 500 Col
umbia Bldg.
eff you have anything good tell the
people about it.''-Hubbard. Chiro-
practic is so indispensable for certain
human ailments that the public
should know it.
When sickness comes, the best and
most successful treatment-a treat
ment that has a reputation for ac-
complishing the desired results is the
one, and only one, that should be en-
ployed.
One Of the oldest medical doctors
in Duluth was cured of rheumatism
by chiropractic, and putting it in his
own language, he says that he had an
injury of the right shoulder and arm
complicated with rheumatism, that
he was not only greatly benefited, but
absolutely cured Of his trouble. His
testimonial over his own signature is
on file in my office.
I have never solicited testimonials,
but when grateful patients offer them
! file them away and use them only
to convince q skeptic Of the results
attained by my treatment. Any one
interested in the most successful
method of treating rheumatism,
backaches, poor circulation, kidney
trouble, nervousness, headaches and
stomach trouble should not delay
making a thorough investigation of
the treatment that has proven it's vir-
tue by it's accomplishments.
The superiority of Chiropractic
over other methods is abundantly
confirmed by thousands of successful
cures effected after the cases had
been pronounced incurable.
Death has not been abolished. but
if you have tried other methods,
modes, cults or system of healing, and
have not received relief, you have
tried the wrong thing. Try chiro-
practic and get we'll. 1t will cost you
nothing to investigate it.

Members Vote to Demand IS
Gents An Hour Effective
-. May Next.

/ Duluth carpenters will demand an
increase in wages May 1. They will
ask IS cents an hour. The union
scale is now 471k cents, but many
contractors are paying more than this
price. The demand of the carpen-
ters was ratified at the meeting of the
union HELD last Tuesday evening at
Moose, hall.
Memebers of the union believe the
contractors will agree to the demand
and that no strike will be called. A
conference committee has been Sc
lected to take the matter up with the
carpenter contractors. The carpenters
are the lowest paid. of the building
trades mechanics.
u John z. White, the noted disciple
Of Henry George, gave an interesting
speech on land and labor. He dis
cussed the relation Of the: single tax
to building operations and said that
il taxes on buildings were wiped out
there would be great boom in build
ing in Duluth.

ness of the meeting was transacted

problem. The more workers arriving
year-the more men standing outside

any old job at any old wages-the
better the big employers liked it. 1t
meant plenty of hands at low cost for
hard, laborious, unskilled work. This
in turn meant plenty of recruits,
anxious to learn the skilled work.
Thus the cost of common labor was

skilled workers by the spectacle of

Halls BRANDE|S As
LEADER OF NEW. ERA
E. q. Hall of S. F.. of L. Says
Nomination Means Recogni-
ton of Plain People.

THE appointment Of Louis Bran
deis associate justice Of the supreme
court should be hailed by. all fair
minded citizens as the beginning of
the irth OF a new nation" said E. G..
Hall, president of the Minnesota State
Federation of Labor, who is in Du-
luth organizing the Labor Forward
Movement. For the last century the
melting pot of democratic ideals has
been bubbling and lifting the lid with
a force that typifies new national
confidence. 1t will endow this re-
public with a sacred motive of pre-
paredness, based upon the recogni-
ton of the common rights of all the
people, guaranteed by the United
States constitution.
1.-The new Justice will be able to
reason by modern sociological cir
cumstances and environments. He
not only understands the physical
law, but he also is we'll acquainted
with the social conditions Of the phys
ical beings who come under the law.
When we consider the cosmopolitan
city of Boston as the field of Mr..
Brandeis' sociological surveys. to-
gether with his legal experience in
matters that concern social unrest, it
must be admitted that he is the one
man elevated to the supreme bench
who is the direct line of communi-
cation with the common people.
"Boston styled him the poor mans
lawyer He is today the disciple of
reason, the antidote of passion. It
may be true that he has at times for
gotten the dignity of what William H.
Taft terms judicial poise,' yet his ex-
pressions were but terms of righteous
indignation.
"Mr. Brandeis represents those
who want to make this nation a ma
ton of patriots. He is the champion
Of the rights Of the great forgotten
army Of those who have nothing but
their lives to sacrifice for their coun-
try's honor. He stands not alone for
property rights, but for the greatest
of all virtues-justice for all before
the law"

.P|NCHOT EN7HUSED
OVER APPOINTMENT
Former Progressive Party Lead
er Sees Bright Future for
People Now.

NEW YORK, Feb. 3.-The nomina-
ton of Louis Brandeis to the Su-
preme Court is 1.-The best thing that
has happened to the United States
since can remember" declared Amos
Pinchot, former Progressive party
leader, in a statement yesterday.
Incidentally, it is the best thing
for the Supreme Court" he added
" for it will go a long way toward re-
moving the popular prejudice against
it. It is a master stroke on the part
of President Wilson, from a patriotic
point of view.
THE talk about Bandeis being an
unfair man is the shrek that Wall
Street regularly emits when any man
is appointed who is not partisan ia
the money interests. Those OF us who
can remember the denunciation of
Supreme Court Justice White, on the
ground that he was waving the red
flag of anarchy. especially at the time
when he gave his opinion in the in
come tax case, are not bit worried
about the silly citicism of Brandeis
that appears in some of the morn
ings papers.
There is no man in the United
States today who has rendered a
greater service to democracy than
Brandeis. He is a ,ust-minded man,
who, like Lincoln, himself, is de-
nounced as a partisan by partisans
because he is not a partisan.
"Brandeis' appointment is the
greatest tribute that has ever been
paid to the Independent thought of
the nation"
