Duluth Union Takes On New
Life-Members Show Inter-
est In Organization.

Duluth Painters union, No. 106
held most profitable and pleasant
meeting last Tuesday evening at
Browns hall, and it already appears
that the. spirit Of revival in the labor
movement Is manifest. Several brac-
ing and refreshing speeches were
made by members of the union.
President F. G.. Hall of the State
Federation of Labor was present and
addressed the union on his plan for
a labor forward movement to be in
augurated here in the spring. The
local endorsed the idea and will elect
a representative on the labor for
ward committee.
Samuel Hultrud, member Of the
union, gave an enthusiastic speech
on the necessity for legislation. He
urged that all unions work together
for their common uplift. The mem
bers appreciated his timely talk and
he was given warm applause.
It was reported that two members,
Of the union, in the employ of A.
Ringsred, Ole Ecker and John Lana,
met with a severe accident while
working on the Dfckerman building.
Ole Ecker suffers from several
broken ribs, and John Lana received
several bad bruises. They were
working on a scaffold, which gave

CHARLES BEUM SENDS
CHEER FROM U. S. JAIL,

A large number of Duluth work.
ing men sent Christmas greetings to
Charles Beum, the Minneapolis iron
worker who is a prisoner at the Lea
venWorth prison, having been con-
victed in connection with the In
dianapolis dynamite cases.
Mr.. Beum in a letter to the Min
neapolis Labor Review acknowledges
the receipt of the greetings. On ac-
count of the rules of the prison he
can not answer every letter re-
ceived, but he has expressed a desire
to hear from his Duluth friends as
often as they will write to him.
Charlie Beum is a martyr to or
ganized labor. He is the most inno-
cent of the innocent. His imprison-
ment is more of a crime than the
act he was charged with committing.
which was more a sin of omission
than commission, if at all. But it
was neither.

WALSH WAGES LABOR
TO ENDORSE REPORT

furnished to the central bodies for
distribution on Industrial Relations
Day. These have been prepared by
Basil M. Manly and contain in con-
densed form the facts that every
union man should know. Manly was
author of the Walsh report to con-
gress and what he wrote in the gov
eminent report is the result of i'm
partial and scientific investigation.
These pamphlets would convince any
man or woman not hopelessly pref
udiced of the necessity Ct organizing
and acting together. It tells in a.
nut shell just what is wrong in
American industry, just why there is
industrial unrest and how it can be
removed.
In a letter which Walsh asks to be
read to the Federated Trades assem-
bly, tonight, the committee outlines
it's plans as follows:
"First,-An active educational
campaign, through bulletins, maya
zine and newspaper articles, to show
how and why collective bargaining
through strong organizations makes
for justice, industrial stability and in
dividual development.
'Second-The maintenance Of an
organization to urge upon congress
and the state legislatures a definite
legislative program designed primar-
lily to remove the obstacles which now
prevent effective organization of en-
ployes and hamper their negotia-
tons with employers.
"Third-The maintenance of a
small staff of experienced investi-
gators to secure the facts regarding
labor conditions and industrial dis
putes, and an effective publicity or
ganization to give the facts the Wild
est possible, circulation"
The committees hope is that labor
all over the country will cooperate
to c1inch the advantage won by the
work of the federal commission by
aiding the new committee to keep up
an aggressive agitation.

DR.. ALEXANDER
GRAHAM ON HOW
TO BE HEALTHY

''How To Be Healthy is my theme
for this article, with special emphasis
upon the "How." This message of
truth concerns healthy folks as we'll
as sick ones.
Strange but true, it is just as nat
ural to be sick as it is to be healthy.
Sickness is result and so is health.
Whenever people persist in abusing
themselves beyond the point of bodily
resistance, sickness and ill health will
result as a natural consequence of
their own acts. And on the other
hand. when people live up to and
practice those virtues that are in their
very nature calculated to contribute
to healthfulness of body and mind,
good health will be theirs as a natural
result Of such procedure.
For centuries the lay public have
been crying out to the medical pro-
fession for a knowledge as to how
to be healthy and how to avoid dis
ease, and the answer has been a vac
cination. hypodermic, latin pre-
scription, and informed that the sub
ject was too difficult for laymen to
understand, that such was only for
medical men to know.
The lay public will never come to
Its own until they weigh some of
their own problems upon the health
question. It seems to be human ma
ture to pursue the course OF least re-
sistance, and that course usually leads
the victim to his own obstruction.

CANADIAN NORTHERN

TORONTO, Ontario, Jan. 13.-The
necessity for organization among wage

Northern railways announcement that

The company at first refused to ac-

the interested workers showed an al

suspending work. Then the company
accepted the decision.

recent convention of the American
Federation OF Labor in San Francisco.
The levy is to be voluntary, each local
getting an appeal from headquarters.
The members are to donate the wage
of one hour in any shift on January

are 1876 of the original defendants
left, most of them dependents and
workmen untitled for further toll,
and their whole property, including
their savings, has been taken over to
satisfy the Loewe Judgment.
Mr.. Lawler expresses the hope that
every labor agency and sentiment
would be united to bring a. hearty
response to the appeal Oh behalf Of
the Danbury hatters, who fought a
battle in which the American Fedora
ton Of Labor was the real contender
with the Loewe Manufacturing COM
pany, backed by the National Manu-
facturers' Association and the Anti
Boycott League, also manufacture

labor under the provisions of the
Sherman Antitrust law because of
an alleged boycott of Loewe & Co.'s
products in Danbury. And that is the
national assessment that the Ameri-

Martin Lawler, secretary of the
United Hatters of North America,
says in letter to Duluth labor or

part Of the money demanded as dam

Nothing else could save the homes of

The serial bond differs somewhat
from the annuity bond, because, In

Of both principal and interest constant,
the amount of principal that is re-

This type of bond has become more
common for highway purposes in re-

the number of serial issues exceeded
the number OF issues for any other

system of meeting interest and provid-

(b) The limiting of expenditures for
