nett is strongly constructed grating
through which the occupants can view
the earth below. The sides of two of
the compartments are built to open and
afford q view of the surrounding
clouds, or, in case of combat, of the
enemy planes. When the leviathan
motors are started their roar is awe
inspiring, and the wind from the pro-
pellers sends backward blast in front

Guilty In remaining erect.
This is a picture which must be i'm
pressed upon the public mind If the
great mass Of the people Is to realize
what the United States is going to
do. The task set for the American
workers is not that of turning out light,
hurriedly built scouting machines to
the number Of tens Of thousands, but to
construct carefully with the last de-
gree of ingenuity the highly developed
war craft needed In modern battles.
That is what England expects of her
newest ally and what she has striven
valiantly to teach authorities across
the Atlantic. The vast technical detail
developed by continuous fighting In the
air has been turned over entire so that
the United States begins the work with
the most favorable chances of success.
The invention of some new fighting
machine after the manner of the tank
is what all Europe expects of America.

chimes, airplanes or walking seaplanes
or flying torpedo boats come to France

have. Pale, muddy poorly arranged
printed matter is worse than none.
The quality of your business is often
judged by the quality of your sta

impression of cheapness that is hard
to overcome while good printing
carries with it desirable suggestion
of quality.
We produce only Quality Printing.

you order it from us you win be sure
of getting good work. We have the

.POuCEMENCET
: s10syA[ARY BOOST
Increase Effective Sept. 1-Fire-
men Also After More Money,
But Refused.

A $10-a-month increase in the SAL
aries Of members Of the police force
will become effective on Sept. l, &C
cording to an announcement made
Wednesday night by Public Safety
Commissioner Silberstein. About sew
enty policemen will benefit by the
raise, which does not include Chief
McKercher and some of the DEPART
ment heads.
This action is the outcome of an
agitation which has been carried on
for some time by the local "cops" for
more salary. About seven members
OF the force have left recently to &C.
cept more remunerative positions, and
these will not be- replaced, the money
accru1ng from. their former salaries
being used to make up a part of the
salary increase.
The firemen have been requesting
salary boost also, and committee of
the firefighters called on Commits
sioner Silberstein Wednesday to urge
action along that line. The committee
was informed that any increase was
unlikely at this time, in view of the
fact that the doubleplatoon system
was put into operation the first of this
year, costing about $4,000.
A resolution granting the police
mems increase will be introduced at
the council meeting next Monday aft
ernoon.

DEMAND ADEQUATE
TAX ON WAR PROFITS
Members Of Four Railroad Bro
therhoods Send Letters to
Lawmakers at Washington.

Letters signed by 200 members in
st. Louis county of the four big rail-
road brotherhoods have been sent to
Senators Kellogg and Nelson and
Congressman Miller at Washington, in
which objection is made to the means
resorted to by the government in rails
ing revenue for the prosecution of the
war. An appeal is made that incomes
or salaries of workingmen who are
drawing less than $4,000 year should
be exempt from taxation, and the law
makers are urged to use their in
fluence in securing an equitable dis
tribution of the costs of the war by
the levying of an adequate tax on the
profits of corporations or persons
which are derived through war bust
ness. The contents Of the letters fol-
low:
Whereas, Our government has seen
fit to plunge this country into the
maelstrom OF war which has been rag
ing for nearly three years with it's at
tendant desolation and suffering, and
Whereas, In every war it has been
the common people who have defended
their country and have borne the bur-
den of financing the fighting forces.
Whereas, The working people are
compelled to pay enormous increases in
the prices of foodstuffs and necessities
gle which wage earners are making for
an existence, and
Whereas, American industrial cor
porations have been realizing inflated
the war. and have at the same time not
been forced to bear their Just share of
the taxation incident to the raising Of
war revenues, and
conscripted under the selective draft
law, which also conscripts their in
comes, and at the same time devolves
upon their descendants for the next
hundred years the obligation of meet
clpal of war bonds, and
whereas, If the common people are
compelled to give up not only their in
comes, but also their lives, capital
should at least be deprived Of it's ex-
cessive profits,
Therefore, we the undersigned, men,
bers of the brotherhood Of Locomotive
Engineers, brotherhood of Locomotive
Firemen and Enginemen, Order of Rail-
way Conductors or Brotherhood Of
Railroad Trainmen, designate our will

gress IN securing an adequate finance
plan, and submit our belief that the in
comes or salaries of working men who
are drawing less than $4,000 a year
should not be taxed; that, although not

COMFORT STATION
AND LABOR CENTER
Will Be Opened in Duluth On
Aug. 1-Council Takes
First Steps.

On Aug. 1, if present plans mater
ialize, comfort station and labor
center will be established in the city,
and the first step to provide substi-
tutes for the saloons which were
closed June 30 will be taken.
At the council meeting last Monday
afternoon Mayor Magney introduced
a resolution authorizing him to enter
into a. lease for the premises located
at 528 w. Superior st., to be used for a
comfort station. This is considered
an ideal location, in the heart of the
district formerly infested by saloons,
and known in the old days as the
Bowery. the building has entrances
from both Superior and Michigan
streets. and is easily accessible to the
transients who come to Duluth.
AT first we will establish a loung-
ing and reading room," said Mayor
Magney, land then other innovations
will be introduced, including a lunch
room. It is not definitely decided yet
whether the city will operate the
lunchroom or the privilege sold, but
at any rate it is planned to make this
a self-sustaining institution, or nearly
so, in a short time. The welfare de-
partment was fortunate in securing an
unusually reasonable offer Of rent,
and the details will be worked out as
soon as possible"
An ordinance appropriating $1,000
to provide for the initial expenses OF
the labor center was given its first
reading Monday afternoon.

TRADES ASSEMBLY
ELECTS OFFICERS.
Nearly All Former Officials Are
Re-elected-Two Firms De-
clared Unfair.

The regular meeting of the FEEDER
ated Trades Assembly was held last
Friday night at Owls hall, with Presi-
dent Murnian presiding and an unusu-
ally large attendance. "A large num-
Der of delegates were obligated.
The semi-annual election of Off
GERS took place, with the following re-
suits: President, William Murnian (re-
elected); vice president E. A. Sabel;
corresponding and recording secretary,
William J. butcher (re-elected); fl
nancial secretary, r. J. Coole (re-
elected); reading clerk, J. E. Jensen
(re-elected); sergeant-at-arms, Peter
Schaefer (re-elected); trustees, Juls
Anderson, Harry Clark and r. Fitz-
gibbons; delegates to Superior Trades
and Labor Assembly, Harry Clark and
Henry Pereault. All Of the officers
were installed.
A communication was received from
the Minnesota Public Safety commits
sion, reassuring the assembly that the
existing standards Of labor would not
be lowered or the present laws pro-
tecting workingmen in industry sus-
pended because of the war.
The semi-annual report of the
board Of trustees showed that the
assembly is in healthy financial con-
dition.
Organizer Abbey of the I. A. of M.
reported that The Safety Protector &
Film company and the Hugo Manu-
featuring company of West Duluth
were unfair in their dealings with
the members Of the local Machinists'
union, and those two firms were
placed on the unfair list by the as
sembly.
Organizer James of the Boot and
Shoe Workers union thanked the as
sembly for the support given the local
shoe workers, and recited the progress
made by his international, especially
in the shoe producing centers in the
Eastern states, where only a few
strikes have been held, and a number
of wage increases have been obtained.
He also reminded the delegates to
patronize only the union shoe repair
ers in the city.
The threatened trouble between the
two local branches Of the Longshore-
mems union did not materialize, de-
spite the fact that some labor Off
Gals who had been invited to attend
the meeting were present.

the branches thinned to just the num-
Der needed for fruit.
A little hen manure or nitrate of
soda scattered over onions, if they are
not growing as rapidly as they should,
will be of help.
Too many plants in the row have
the same effect on the crop as weeds.

Vegetables quickly grown are more
tender and Of better quality than those
slowly grown. Good soil and good Gull
tivation are needed.
Endive may be blanched by bring
ing the leaves up together and tying.
This must be done when the leaves
are dry. 1t is a good plan to unite the
leaves after every rain and let them
dry out, otherwise they may decay

The special committee of the Trades
Assembly which was appointed to in
vestigate the attitude of the Cox Bros.

member Of the special committee
which was appointed by the assembly
to appear before the city commission

WISCONSIN LABOR
MEET At ASHLAND
Chairman Weber Warns Dele
gates of Yellow Peril-Predicts
Attempt to Repeal Act.

ASHLAND, Wis, July 19.-The an
nual convention Of the Wisconsin
State Federation Of Labor opened here
Wednesday morning, to continue
Thursday, Friday and Saturday, with
about 200 delegates from all parts of
the state in attendance.
"Organized labor is today threat
ened by grave danger through conflict
of racial aims, ideals and working con-
ditions, a part of the scheme of pro-
fiteers' to destroy laboring class
which has become too Intelligent for
them and demands more for it's serv-
ices than they are willing to pay" de-
clared Frank j. Weber, organizer for
the federation, in his speech when &C
cepting the craftsmanship of the con-
vention for the twenty-fifth consecu-
tive time.
Most Critical Time.
Chairman Weber launched into a
history of the labor movement in Wis
consin, stating that it had been in
augurated in 1898 in Milwaukee,
when he organized the State Fedora
ton of Labor. He traced it on down
to the present time when he said the
most critical time in it's history is
seen. History shows, he declared, that
when the workers become intelligent
the men who put profits above all else
try to destroy them. Now they
threaten to destroy the entire Cau-
casion race as workers, so intelligent
have they become and so much do
they want for their labors.
The speaker told how negroes are
being brought north as part of a ma
tion-wide movement on the plea that
by white men "going to the trenches
to fight for democracy" Even here in
Wisconsin, he said, old white men are
being displaced by the new and
cheaper labor.
1.-THE subsidized press is now carry
ing on an underground agitation for
abrogation Of the Chinese exclusion
act on the pretext Of a labor shortage
due to the war;" he charged. He
pointed out that the east and west
coast and the central west would never
stand for the Introduction Of Chinese
laborers and that if they are brought
in they would have to be sent to the
south to take the place of the negroes
who would be brought north. He pre-
dicted that an attempt would be made
in congress within the next nine
months to repeal the Chinese exclu-
sion act, and that the matter should
be given the most serious considera-
ton by the convention.

Wet and Dry Clash.
A clash on the liquor question ap-
pears to be certain, when an attempt
is made by wet" delegates from Mil
waukee to have the convention adopt
resolutions condemning the prohibi-
ton movement.
The following delegates from Supe-
rior were in attendance: c. w. Swan
son, Al Brothers, r. F. Ryan, May
Lapp, j. H. Hatch, J. r. Todd, Otto
Wendt, H. A. MacIntyre, James Camp
bell, M. M. Krieps, A. J. Phillips.
The report of J. j. Handley, secre-
tary-treasurer of the state federation
showed that the trades union move
ment in Wisconsin is in better shape
than ever before.
During the last year thirty eight
new unions have affiliated with the
state federation and only three have
withdrawn.
