The labor world. [volume] (Duluth, Minn.) 1896-current, 1918-12-28

luthians who are working out this
program.
We have the very best wishes for
our highly esteemed mayor and the
four commissioners. each doing his
part and working hard to make a.
good record and to make this better
city in which to live. It is easy to
criticise men in public office and they
have gotten their share of criticism
They are entitled to a boost every
time they merit one.
Then there are our merchants
men like 3. P. Neff of the Glass
Block store, George A. Gray, I. Erie
muth, William Billstein. of the COL
umbia Clothing store, Edward Sill
! bernstein, Williamson & Mendenhall,
Archie Kenny Of Kenny & Anker, A.
3. seiwert and score of others, all
! playing their part to build Duluth
We hope for them Happy and
Prosperous New Year. The sacri-
: fices the Duluth merchants made
during the war are splendid testi-
nlonials to their loyalty and patrio-
tism.
Our earnest hopes are entertained
for the Federal Trades assembly and
it's affiliated unions. They have a
great work before them next year.
Their Americanism will be relied
upon during reconstruction as it was
during war. They will not be found
wanting.
We have splendid set of county
officials, all good friends of Thu
Labor World, and we want them to
have the best that is next year. We
have warm spot in our heart for
officials like Judge Gilpin who set
noble examples in public service.
And the lawyers too; Glance thru
The Labor World and observe how
well they are treating us. We are
blest with our friends in the legal
profession, and they have stood right
loyalty by us during prosperity and
adversely. We ask for everything
that is good for the upright and hon.
orable Duluth members of the bar.
They have it coming to them, and
more.
: There is also a number Of exceed
ingly friendly and sympathetic en-
ployers, good friends of labor. whose
moral support we enjoy and whose
financial help through advertising
from time to time keeps our old ma
chinery in good working order May
1919 be banner year -or every one
of them. We wish them the best that
fortune can bring to them.
We have even a good wish for the
men on Commission Row. They are
necessary factors in distribution and
they have a great responsibility on
their shoulders. May they recognize
this and begin at once to get on the
good side of the people. They have
it within their power to materially
reduce the cost Of living in Duluth
If they are wise they will get busy
at once, before it is too late.
And we shouldn't forget the local
war workers, particularly those of
lAC 4SCu NkOoS WIN TcuueTcQ SuCN
valiant service last week. Their
work was truly Christian and patri-
otto. They gave 'up much of their
holiday pleasure to serve. and that is
the kind of service that counts the
most. May this be very happy
year for every one of them.

The churches and preachers too,
God bless them ALL Without them
this would be a very diff mt world.
In and out of season they are working
to make men better. There is moth
ing too good for them. They have
still great work to do. and we wish
them all the success in the world
for 1919. 3. 81 III Ss...s
