Commissioner to Succeed
Late ". F. Houk.

John P. Gardiner, of st. Paul, as

pointed labor commissioner by Gov

up the duties of the office.

Paul Machinists' union No. 112. He

ing the administration of Governor

have read of the glaring perjury that
has made the trial Of the victim of a
San Francisco corporation, stand out

tice ever exhibited in an American
court of law. -.
Judge Admitted Fact.
The very judge who sentenced that
victim to death knew that he I'M
willingly was made a partner in a
great crime. In passing sentence he
virtually confessed as much. The re-
port of special commission appointed
by the President of the United States
to review the Mooney case bore tes-
timony to the innocence of the labor
leader. The action of President Wilson
in appealing to the governor Of Cali
fornia for executive clemency, after
reading that report, carried with it
additional presumptive evidence of
Thomas J. MONEYS innocence. All
these proofs of it were unavai1ing
as against the determination of the
enemies of organized labor to make
an example of one who had chal-
lenged their assumed right to pre-
vent Wageworkers from banding to-
gether for mutual protection. Because
he had questioned this assumed right,
Thomas J. Mooney today faces an
ignominious death.

In common with labor organizations
throughout the country Duluth labor
will on Sunday next voice a vigorous
protest against the execution sof Tom
Mooney, who faces death as the re-
suit of his conviction on perjured
testimony of responsibility for the
bomb explosion which killed several
people and injured others during the
San Francisco preparedness parade.
The Federated Trades Assembly has
appointed a special committee to ar
range for a mass meeting which will
be held at Owls hall at o'clock
Sunday evening.
Appeal to President.
The meeting will likely draft reso-
lutions asking the President to exer-
else his power as commander in chief
of the army to prevent the execution
of Mooney and have granted him all
that either Mooney or labor is asking,
a fair and impartial trial.
The day has been set apart by the
labor unions for American wage
workers Ito give expression to their
condem nation of the contemplated
crime of sacrificing the life Of one
Of their fellow-workers to the hatred
of corporate wealth. That is the crime
which will be perpetrated if Thomas
J. Mooney ever stands on a scaffold
with a hangman's moose around his
neck.
OF his innocence of the terrible
charge brought against him, there is
and can be no doubt. Every member

TAX WILL DOOM
LABOR AGENCIES
All Duluth Offices Forced to
Close # Federal Bureau
Prevails.

All private fee-cbarging agencies in
Duluth will be forced to close if plans
of the department of labor to impose
a heavy tax on these shops are car
ried out.
A movement to eliminate these en-
ployment agencies is looked for any
day in a measure to be introduced in
congress to impose a tax on them, &C.
cording to Washington advices. Such
a measure has already been advocated
before the ways and means commit
tee on taxation. 1t was stated at this
hearing that in England, private fee
employment bureaus have been en-
tirely abolished since the war, and
that if a person wants to obtain a new
job now he has to obtain it through
one of the national labor exchanges.
The labor exchanges, it is understood
have proved a success in England and
have been approved by labor unions
Throughout the United States there
are approximately 10000 of these en-
ployment agencies, according to labor
experts. Many of the proprietors It

A severe blow to private agencies
was dealt by the government some
time ago when it was ordered that all
labor recruits for firms engaged in
war and essential contracts must be
obtained only through the United
States employment service.

VIRGINIA CONVENTION
NOT AGAINST WHEATON

A story is going the rounds of the
press that a resolution was adopted
at the Virginia convention of the Min
nesota State Federation of Labor de-
claring that Fred f. Wheaton, can
didate for governor of Minnesota, is
inimical to the interests of labor.
There is absolutely no truth to this
story. The matter of Mr.. Wheaton's
candidacy was not considered by the
convention. If anything, a majority
of the delegates at the convention
looked with favor upon Mr.. Whea-
toms candidacy. He is a veteran
member of the International Typo
graphical union, and was for many
years secretary of the St. Paul union.
He is an ardent believer in the philos-
ophy of trade unionism and can be
depended upon to make his political
career consistent with his convictions
as man of labor.
Will Support Wheaton.
The members of organized labor
generally are opposed to the re-elec-
ton of BurnGuist. They recognize
that a third candidate will make
Burnquist's election sure. In so much
as Mr.. Wheaton is one of their own
kind they will support him generously.
Chairman Gustavus "Lutefisk.''
If Governor Burnquist stood any
show for reelection he lost it when
he caused the Craftsmanship of the
Republican state committee to be
handed on a silver platter to his pri-
vate secretary, Gust Lindquist. Labor
men will remember Lindquist, minis
ter plenipotentiary, who represented
the governor in the investigation of
the I. w. w. strike on the Mesaba
range in 1916. He strutted about the
mining towns bearing the credentials
of the governor of Minnesota with his
chest out and his head up like a Prus-
sian autocrat. He was dubbed by the
labor men on the ranges as the king
Of Sweden and he made such botch
of the situation that Governor Rurn'
quist has never since been able to get
back into the good graces of the
labor men of Minnesota.
Entrcnched Against Labor.
Then again, the Republican state
central committee will have as it's Sec
rotary Fred l.. Gray of Minneapolis
leader of the employers liability in
surance agents, who is primarily in
terested' in preventing the state OF
Minnesota from administering a fund
to compensate injured workingmen
He has worked his way into the in
side of the Republican organization tc
better WELD his Influence against a
| decent compensation act for the work
| ingmen of his state.
When the full conspiracy against
| labor shall have been exposed tn
fair-ninded people of this state will
lose no time in voting to retire Gov
ernor Burnquist to private life fol
having lent himself and his organiza'
| ton to crafty anti-union interests, am
| bilious to crush the influence of or
ganized labor in Minnesota.

for you if you are considering making
your own dress hat this year. The
first is a simple cuffed turban, with
nothing<more than a veil to garnish 1t.
Just fold sufficient brocade over the
right shape of buckram foundation,
tack 1t here and there-not too many
tacks, remember, for that means I'M
beautiful stiffness-and drape the
whole with a fine meshed veil edged
with a dainty bit Of s%outaching.
If you are small of stature and you
would create the illusion of increased
height, by all means select a turban
like this lone after the Russian. The
brocade idea is tremendously effective
on just such a hat. And a large, grace
fully draped veil with dainty shadow
lace border and huge chenille dots does
a deal in the way Of setting things off.
