SAMMiES AT LEWIS
 CAMP, AMERICAN
 LAKE TREATED WELL
Food is Fine, Officers Are We'll Trained and Drills are Easy
 Says Newspaperman.
(AsSaciNted Pr9aSl

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 26.-Life at Camp Lewis, American Lake, Wash ington, near Tacoma, is described in a letter from Kendall K. Kay, of San Francisco and Eureka, California newspaper man, now member of B. company, 363rd infantry.
 "Gradually" says Kay "the boys are being eased into the idea that they are in for intensive training of the highest degree, and occasionally refer ences to the value of present drill or studies upon arrival in France leads to the inference that no moss will grow under our feet here.
 "The method in which the officers set about to teach us makes 1t as easy as possible. The outdoor drills and physical exercises, coupled with cold showers in snappy atmosphere tends to harden up one wonderfully.
 The officers are as fine set of men throughout as was ever assembled. They are well trained and gentlemen, all. They constantly impress upon the men that they are glad to answer questions at all times.
 "The food is fine. Today's dinner of steak, creamed onions, boiled potatoes fine bread and a dessert-properly cooked and sufficient in quantity made all smack their lips after six hours of almost constnat activity. There is not a grouch in the barracks.
 There is always something doing for everybody, from Rainier's wonder ful snow clad bulk glinting like mar ble under the first rays of the rising sun, down to the little details of bar ra cks life
 Tt is only ten minutes until lights are out and I crawl between my three army blankets for eight hours. l never think of that last wildly dash ing afternoon and evening in the old home town without the picture of our Jim Howe, arms and hat in air, way ing farewell as we passed down the Path of Gold, enroute to God Knows Where"

TENDER KUKUI OF LIGHTHOUSE SERVICE
 TO LEAVE ALASKA

The Lighthouse tender Kukui, Capt. N Gregory arrived from the Westward yesterday afternoon about , o'clock and it is believed that she will leave shortly for the south. The Kukui has been visiting stations all over the westward as far as Kodiak and Unal- aska, Cook Inlet and southeastern AL aska, on her annual Inspection and supply trip. Capt. w. C. Dibbrell, who boarded the tender at Seward to inspect the stations to the westward from Seward, returned about two weeks ago.
 Capt. w. c Dibrel, Inspector for AL aska stated today that the Kukui would be taken south within two weeks by Capt. Gregory, to undergo her an- nual overhauling, after which she would be assigned to other duties, and that her place would be taken by the new tender Cedar, which was built expressly for northern service
 The Cedar, commanded by Capt. Leadbetter, is the newest, largest and most complete tender built by the government for Lighthouse service and was built to replace the tender Armenia which foundered off Cape Hinchinbrook, in 1912. The Kukui was placed on the northern service to take her place temporarily until an- ether, larger one could be built for permanent use. The Kukui was form erly in use in Hawaii. and it is thought possible that she may be returned to that district.

Emme traced the history of the trade
union movement from it's earliest
found they could do nothing effect
lively unless some form of organiza-
ton was perfected. Even the ami
mails, said Mr.. Emme, recognized the
value Of organization.
Mr.. Emmes remarks were punctu-
ated with applause and intense In
terest prevailed as he showed in a
remarkably forceful style the neces-
sity of greater organization among
the machinists at the head Of the
lakes.

EARLY CLOSING / FOR
WEST END GROCERY
Fred w. Erickson Says Early
Closing Don't Hurt Business:
Employees Better Off.

Fred w. Erickson, popular West
End grocer, doing business at 2029-31
West Third street, announces that he
will close his place of business at 8
o'clock Saturday evenings, beginning
June /. Mr.. Erickson states that he
is taking this step in order to give an
opportunity for more recreation for
his staff Of employees.
On May 1 of this year Mr.. Erick-
son celebrated his twenty-fifth year
in the grocery business in this city,
When he came to Duluth it was Gus
tomary to keep grocery establish
ments open from 6 o'clock in the
morning until II and 10 o'clock at
night. But gradually the hours have
been shortened and year ago West
End grOcers entered into an agree
ment to close at $3.50 on week days
and 3 o'clock Saturdays. Mr.. Erick-
son was one of the leaders in the
movement for early closing and large
~ through his influence the agree
ment for an early closing was reached
a year ago.
II feel" said Mr.. Erickson to a
representative Of The Labor World,
that I owe it to my loyal employees
to cut the closing time to 8 o'clock
Saturdays. They are entitled to it
and that is the reason I have decid-
ed on the move.
1T was predicted year ago by
some Of the men in our trade that
business would be seriously injured if
the closing time was fixed at 8
o'clock. Personally T was never
afraid of it. People become accus-
toned to making their purchases
early and I am confident our GUS
toners are heartily in favor of earlier
closing and will cooperate with US
by arranging to buy their groceries
within the hour fixed for closing.
LAS to losing business on account
of early closing, I can say for myself
that my business has increased twen-
ty-fiVe per cent during the past year
in spite of o'clock closing agree
ment."
The attitude of Mr.. Erickson in al
lowing his employees an hour more
for recreation will meet with general
approval among trade unionists Of
this city.

B0|LERMAKERS Ar
FIRM; NO DESERT|0NS
Employers Can Afford to Pay
Living Wage" Says Joe
Viche.

Duluth boilermakers who are on
strike, claim that there are no de-
sertions from the ranks, while, on the
other hand, the employers against
whom the strike is directed are ex-
periencing the greatest difficulty in
obtaining men to fill the jobs.
Joe Viche, chairman of the strike
committee, states the boilermakers
are seeking employment elsewhere
rather than go back to the old places.
He asserts that employers are trail
ing these men in an attempt to pre-
vent them from getting employment,
and thus drive them back to the
boiler shops.
1.-THE cost of living is soaring" said
Mr.. Vic.e, land we feel that the en-
ployers can afford to pay us IS cents
an hour, just as we'll as they can af-
ford to pay strike-breakers from So
to $40 per day and keep them at the
best hotels in Duluth. We are out
to win, and win we Nill.'
