And. MEETING
Journeymen and Bosses B econle
Better Acquainted; Another
Meeting Soon. -:

The get-together meeting and
smoker held Monday night at Moose
hall. West First street, under the
auspices of the local BARRIERS union,
which was attended by the journeymen
and boss BARRIERS of the city, proved
a great success, according to the Of
ficers Of the union.
The purpose of the affair was to
better acquaint those in that business
and create friendlier feeling and a
spirit of cooperation, and it is ex-
pected that the results will be mani
tested in the near future.
D. H. Kennedy and Al Brothers,
secretary and president, respectively,
of the Superior BARRIERS union, made
short talks, in which they emphasized
the fact that the good conditions OBJ
tanning in barber circles across the
bay were the result Of organization
work and cooperation between the
journeymen and boss BARRIERS. Charles
Swanstrom, organizer for the Superior
Trades Assembly, also spoke.
DR.. Zimmerman Speaks.
DR.. n. L. Linneman of Duluth gave
an interesting account of skin and
scalp diseases, showing the BARRIERS
how to protect their patrons against
the contraction Of such diseases. His
talk ELECTED a great deal of favorable
comment.
J. B. Gibson urged the journeymen
and proprietors to show more Cooper
alton in settling minor grievances.
The meeting so impressed the boss
BARRIERS present that committee was
appointed by them to visit the pro-
prietors mot present and urge" them
to attend another such meeting which
will be held in the near future. The
date will be announced soon

:: : DIFFERENCES TO
WIN CONFLICT
Says Postmaster McEwen in
Patriotic Address at Meet
ing Of Carpenters.

10 submerge. our differences and
direct all our efforts to- winning this
war for democracy should be our only
considerations said Postmaster w. E.
McEwen in addressing the meeting of
the Carpenters union last Tuesday
evening at Rowley's hall. About 200
were present.
There must of necessity be a GER
tain amount Of injustice in this coun-
try, and naturally workingmen have
grievances which demand attention."
he continued. IF democracy is tri-
umphant in this war, we shall have
ample opportunity to work out the
problems confronting us, but, if autoc-
racy is victorious, all these opportuni-
ties will be lost. The freedom of the
workers is at stake in this conflict
Mr.. McEwen recounted his expert
ences while visiting Germany several
years ago, and said that while Dauper-
ISM was virtually unknown, and such
measures as old age pensions were in
force there, the German people had
absolutely no liberty. He also pointed
out the gradual trend toward democ-
racy throughout the world except in
the German empire, where kaiserism
was supreme. u
An appeal for food conservation
was also made, showing how this was
AN important factor in carrying on
the war.
Mr.. <McEwen urged the labor unions
to maintain their organizations in
tact, because it is possible that CAPT.
tai may attempt to dominate labor
after the war, and it will be essen
tlai that labor present a united front
against such aggressions.
The speaker held the closest atten-
ton of his auditors for an hour and
half, and the speech was declared
by many to be the most patriotic dis
course ever heard. .:

UPbRA|DS POLICE
FOR ARRESTINC.
SCOTT NEARING
0. j. Larson Asserts Loyalty
While Pleading Constitu-
tiona| Rights.

.. j. Larson, a prominent local at
torney, has made a. public denuncia-
ton of the attempts to. deprive citi-
zens of the rights: of free speech, free
press and free assembly as,guara nteed
by the constitution, by declaring that
the arrest of Scott Nearing last month
by the local police, was an unseemly
display Of autocratic power that nner-
its the condemnation Of every resi-.
dent of Duluth who. believes in the
protection Of constitutional rights"
Mr.. Larson spoke Sunday afternoon
before the mems class of the Pilgrim
Congregational church.
Mr.. Larson commended that on eth
ical and: legal grounds citizen has
the right to discuss publicly and freely
the causes that brought the United
States into the war, how it should be
prosecuted, and the terms upon which
peace should be made.
Il am neither pro-German nor a
pacifist," he said. II love my coun-
try. T am not disloyal. I am willing
to make any sacrifice for it's welfare
and safety. I believe in the righteous
ness of our cause: Before God and
man, now and hereafter, we can JUS
tify our entrance into the war. am
for fighting it to a finish--until such
time as Germany with contrite heart
shall seek peace without victory"
Danger to Republic.
Free discussion and education. not
repression, is the remedy for error,";
said the speaker. Repression of full
and free discussion is dangerous in
any government resting upon the rule
OF the people. An unlawful arrest
In violation of constitutional right,
though made by officials who act in
good faith; is dangerous. It sets a,
bad precedent. AS the United States
supreme court declared in the famous
Milligan case, Wicked men ambitious
of power, with hatred of liberty
and contempt Of law. may fill the
places once occupied by Washington.
and Lincoln, and if this right is: con-
coded and the calamities Of war again
befan us, the dangers to human lib
erty are frightful to contemplate
