cular reads as follows:
According to reports from differ
ent sections, indications are that
there will be more logs coming down
the rivers this spring in Northern
Minnesota than heretofore, and the
bosses have already set the wages for
the drive at $2.75 for green men and

"That is not enough. The lumber
companies can easily afford IS a
day and then some, but are not going
to pay more than they have to. This
work is especially hazardous; the

BUILDING TRADES MEN
HOLD OPEN MEETING

The Building Trades council held
an open meeting last night at Browns
hall, 10 East Superior street. Speeches
were made by E. G.. Hall, president of
the State Federation of Labor and
W. E. McEwen, publisher of the
Labor World.
There was a large attendance of
delegates and representative union
men. The Duluth building trade will
begin work after May / under very
favorable terms. It is not believed

87HOUR DAY At LAST :.
..~
FOR PAPERMAKERS.
After Two Years Strike Owners
concede Shorter Workday TO
Employees.

The Labor World has often stated
that no strike was ever lost Two
years ago the papermakers in North
ern Minnesota went on. strike for an
eight-hour day. They had been work.
ing two shifts of - hours each and
the men demanded three, shifts of
eight hours each. All of the paper
mills in the state excepting three
granted the demands of the men. The
three mills which did not grant the
demand were located at Little Falls,
Sartell and Minneapolis, in which
Is. +. Nelson of Minneapolis is largely
interested.
The strike in the mills did not
grant the eight-hour day at the time
was prolonged for several months and
much bitterness was engendered into
it. Professional strikebreakers and
gunner were brought in from the
large cities and the usually trouble
was caused by them. Mr.. Nelson be-
came so bitter in his opposition to
organized labor and particularly to
the officers of the State Federation Of
Labor that he used his powerful in
f1uence in every direction to discredit
such men as President E. G. Hall.
Now comes word from Sartel1,
which is located short distance from
st. Cloud, that the employed at the
paper mill were granted an eight
hour day on April I, last. During
the last few weeks a score of the
largest paper mills in the country
adopted the eight-hour. day. In all
cases these mills ran two 12-hour
shifts. In all probability the Little
Falls mill is now working under the
eight-hour shift.
Papermakers are jubilant over the
concessions granted them by their
stubborn employers.

SICK PEOPLES NEED
FOR CHIROPRACTIC
By DIR. ALEXANDER GRAHAM.
500 Columbia BLDG, Duluth.

500 Columbia BLDG, Duluth.
1t is said that all great things come
from some great need. The only
apology that the Chiropractic system
of healing has for being here; is be-
cause it is a public necessity, the
public needs the service that the CHR
opractor is giving them, hence his
presence here.
Chiropractic has been on trial be-
fore the bar Of public opinion for the
last Is years, during which time it
has been aboundantly weighed in the
balance of human experience, and has
not been found wanting. Similar to
man other things of public neseccity,
Chiropractic is governed, by the law
Of supply and demand, and It's de-
mand is measured by it's success in
supplying to suffering mankind that
which it most desires-good health.
It is my conviction, based upon
many years Of experience as a prac-
titioner of Chiropratic, that there is
altogether too much to the human
body for one mind to conceive it all
and master it, and I am persuaded,
that much Of the failure in the prac-
tACo OF the meaning ART OF To-Day Is
due in a large measure at least to
the practitioners contention to "know
it ALL" and the individual practitioner
who will hold to such a contention
is exceedingly near the domain Of
fakerism-a good man to run away
from.
During the past 10 years I have
specialized in certain nervous diseases
have been successful in Is per cent,
that it, Is per cent Of the patients
whom have treated were restored to
health. and slight improvement in
rs per cent, and no deaths. This
record Is of one who chooses a great
name rather than great riches.
The honest and conscientious CHR
opracttc is fast winning the confidence
and good will Of the people, notwith-
standing the fact that there is a fac
ton that is necessarily at work, en-
deavoring to perjudice the public
mind against Chiropractic. But you
cannot keep a good thing down, may
as we'll try and check the falls of
Niagara with tooth pick.
