HARMONY MUST PREVAIL!

As is the cast in most elections,
organized labor of Duluth was I'M
fortunately split into two factions
during the wet and dry elections pf
the last year.
With this question definitely set
tied, all personal animosities and
harsh feelings must be forgotten,
and all the forces united to success
fully fight labor's battles.
The Federated Trades Assembly in
the past has demonstrated it's ability
to be potential factor in the growth
and progress of the city, and should
continue to be such. To let differ
ences OF the past interfere with aud
nullify it's effectiveness would be
folly, and, indeed, unbecoming of the
intelligence possessed by union men.
During the crucial times now con-
fronting the nation, it behooves labor
to stand united in support of the
government, and render such invalu-
able service that It shall receive the
recognition and consideration to
which it is entitled. 1t is also essen
tial that wartime vigilance be dis
played SO that advantages and bene-
fits gained after years of struggle
shall not be lost, and standards of
living lowered by prOfiteers and
those ever ready to exploit labor to
the last ounce.
To be most effective, there must
Jbe no dissension in the local FEEDER
lated Trades Assembly, and no tolera-
ton whatever for any who would
,9amper the labor movement of the
city.
/ Labor is gaining respect and pres
'f1ge daily-and must continue to do
eo-and undoubtedly shall, but there
must be harmony in it's ranks!

ST. LOUIS COUNTY VOTES DRY.

Last Monday, by a majority OF
more than $500, the voters of this
county decided that the licensing of
saloons shall be discontinued, and
the last saloon will close not later
than March Is, 1918.
The most significant thing about
the result is the fact that every city
and village returned majority for
the drys, showing the general dis
satisfaction and disapproval which
exists in regard to the licensed Ii
quor traffic. 1t will now be impos-
sible to bring forth the old bugaboo
about the imposition of unwelcome
prohibition by one community upon
another by county option, and Mon
days verdict is emphatic evidence
that the people are eager to dissolve
partnership with the saloon.
In Duluth only about tWo-thirds
of last springs total vote was cast,
and it is conceded that had there
O9Su heavy EUlc, Iue IAdJOilty
would have been much larger than
704. Apathy and over-confidence
on the part of the drys were prob
ably responsible for the small vote.
Duluth has had three wet and dry
elections in the last IS months, each
one resulting favorabiy Tor the drys.
The county option law precludes
vote for three years, and regardless
Of the statewide election a year from
next Novem Der, it is most likely that
the Zenith City will never return to
the wet column.
The people of the county have ex-
pressed their will, and lit is now up
to the authorities to see that the law
is enforced and blindpigging elimin-
ated. There undoubtedly are some
leaks in Duluth, and the offenders
must be apprehended and convinced
that no leniency will be shown.
The recent victory was clean-cut
and decisive, and the dry voters are
to be congratulated for their aggress-
iveness in showing the way to q dry
Minnesota and dry nation.

WILFUL DECEPTION OR mad.
VERTENT MISCONCEPTION?

A local morning paper persists in
referring to the men deported from
Bisbee, Ariz., recently by mining
company thugs, as I. w. w., who
were disloyal and un-American.
1t has been shown that only few
of the more than 1000 men de-
ported were I. w. w., and that the
the large majority were members of
bona fide labor unions, many of
whom had purchased Liberty bonds
and subscribed to the Red Cross
fund.
The morning paper is surely
aware of the fact that the mining
companies in Arizona are waging
campaign to exterminate labor
unions by lawlessness and intimida-
ton, and that to stigmatize those
holding union cards, they have been
branded Il. w. W.
These despotic mining company
officials who refuse to recognize
the principle of collective bargain
ing, are the real I. ". w., who are
hampering the government in it's
war program, and should be dealt
with as are the industrial I. w. w.
If the inference is meant that to
hold a union card Is to be an I. w.
w., then our conception of that out
law organization is radically wrong.
There is as much difference be-
tween members of bona fide trade
unions and the /. w. w. as there is
between day and night.

KEEP THEM in SCHOOL.

Grand Rapids Herald Review: Now,
if ever, parents have the inclination to
keep their children out OF school and
let them work or help around the
home. The Encouragement of things
and the consequent disorganization in
war time leads many to conclude that
it is just as well to permit the chill
dren to slight their schooling until
after the war. SO many institutions
are upset and altered in character by
the war that it is easy to abandon the
normal order of things and depart
from established customs.
The need is greater now than ever
before for parents to keep their chill
dren in school. The upper classes in
high school and the colleges are sup
plying thousands of boys to the service
and that is as it should be. The chill
dren in the lower grades and Junior
high schools must be kept in school.
The reconstruction period following
the war will be one in which there
will be need of men and women who
have had some schooling. England
has suffered from the effects of taking
the boys and girls from school so they
might go to- work. Juvenile crime has
increased SO per cent since the war
began. The time has not come when
we must take our boys and girls from
school and we hope that it will not
come. Until it does we must keep
the children in school.

The Black Diamond, organ of the
coal operators, is urging the latter to
refuse to accept the coal prices fixed
by the president, and suggests that
the operators and all those connected
with the production and distribution
of coal form a political party con-
trolling two million votes, with
higher fuel prices the single issue
on which it will appeal to the voters.

What Other Papers Say.
POVERTY OF THE MASSES.

Railway Federationist: In an insur-
ance publication issued by one of the
largest insurance companies in this
country figures are presented to show
why everybody should carry insurance.
; "In single New York county," says
! this publication, $4,000 people died
within period Of five years.
mo estate whatever was left by
$4,000.
"Only 1900 left estates of $500
to $1,000.
"Consider what this condition meant
to their families.
"In Allegheny county, Pennsylvania,
six-year period, left no estate whatso-
ever
And here the writer propounds the
question:: us this not sufficient an
swer to the question, "'Do I need to
be insured p"
OF course, we will have to agree with
this booster for life insurance that
everybody ought to be insured so that
! they can leave an estate" even
though the "estate" be barely enough
! to provide decent" burial for the
| insured.
This company deals largely in small
policies, ranging from $50 up, the
premiums being paid in small weekly
payments.
1t is this class of insurance which
appeals to the poorer classes who avail
themselves of it because of their hope
less condition. Widows take out small
policies on their children SO that In
case Of death they can at least give
them a respectable burial.
The fact that 80 per cent of those
who died in a period~of six years in
one county in Pennsylvania left no
estate whatsoever is a splendid argu-
ment in favor of graveyard" insur-
ance, but it is also at the same time a
terrible il, lictment against thu system
that cond INNS 80 per cent of the peo-
pie to alb. ,ct poverty through low
wages and monopoly prices.
1t may be some consolation to a
mother to know that should death
overtake any of her offsprings that
they will be laid away in a neat pine
box, but it would be far better if that
mother was assured of an income AIDE
quate to provide her children during
life with comfortable home, healthy
food and decent clothing.
But a system of society which made
such things possible would greatly in
terfere with those who live off the mis-
cry of the 80 per cent of the people
who are condemned to die without
estate

MIR. BRYAN AND THE WAR.

Hemet (Cal.) News: It is signi-
ficant to note that the nations most
prominent pacifist and proletarian,
Mr.. Bryan, while not making the well
kin ring with patriotic orations has
placed himself definitely and empha-
tically on the side Of those who are
determined upon the overthrow of
Germany. Unlike David Starr 'Jor-
dan and others Of that cult, he has
leavened his pacifism with measure
of reason. Unlike the Socialist party
he has stopped somewhere short OF
permitting his love Of peace to be-
come a blind dogma.
This fact is instructive to those lib
erals and radicals of the nation who
have not a spot of hyphenisn or who
were not pro-Gernan before America
entered the war. The stanchest liber-
ais who arc free of the spot Of pro-
Germaf1isf1 are well represented in
such leaders as Charles Edward Rus
sell, John Spargo, Upton Sinclair and
Mr.. Bryan. Real liberalism can
have nothing in common with the
military system which has attempted

TENDER at S1.S3, were followed by sub
stantial further gains and then a
moderate reaction.
The fact that virtually no further
delivery wheat was offered for sale
led subsequently, to an extraordinary
advance, July soaring to 1920, Sep
TENDER to 1,99. an overnight respec
tive gain of 90 cents and II cents.
