ACTION

ON MIL|TAR|SM
Trades Assembly Resents In
ference and Protests Against
Chamberlain Bill.

The Federated Trades Assembly, at
its meeting last Friday night at Owls
hall, firmly reiterated it's opposition
to universal military training in times
Of peace by unanimously adopting a
Commercial club when it voted to
recommend to congress the passage of
the Chamberlain compulsory military
training bill; and also the attempt by
a daily paper to create the impress
sion that the clubs action was repre-
sentative of this community.
It was pointed out that the intro
duction of UNIVERSAL military training
in this country would be inconsistent
with our reason for entering the pres
ent war, namely, to crush Prussian
militarism. -.
The assembly represents more than
the city, and the secretary was in
structed to send copy of the resolu-
tions to Senators Nelson and Kellogg
and Congressman Miller, with the re-
quest that they oppose the Chamber
lain bill or any other measure en-
bodying the principle of compulsory
military training. The resolutions
follow:
Whereas, the Duluth Commercial
club passed a resolution during the
last week in which that body Endorsed
the principle Of compulsory military
training as provided by the terms Of
the so-called Chamberlain BILL. coming
up before the next session of congress,

An effort was made to organize the
