CAR CONDUCTORS
Local Traction Company Claims
Inability TO Secure Sutti- =
cient Male Hell ,.

Women will be employed by the
Duluth Street Railway company as
conductors, according to an announce
ment made last Saturday by General
Manager Herbert Warren of the COM
pany. That such an innovation would
be made was 1ntimated in a company
statement several months ago.
The claim is made that as high
wages as possible under the scent
fare are being paid at present, and
that it is impossible to secure the nec-
essary men.
After commenting upon the fact
that those employed by the company
are able to make from SIS to $120
per month, the statement says:
''The demand for men in shipyards
and other industrial plants engaged in
the manufacture of war materials is
very heavy and the wages offered at
this time are unusually high, and it is
only natural that number of this
company's employees should be at
tracted to this employment. The de-
mand for men in war activities has
the employment of women as conduc-
tors necessary in order to maintain
the company's service. All women en-
ployed and the uniform worn, will be
approved by the employment bureau
Of the Young Women's Christian asso-
citation, and this association will also
cooperate with the company in see-
ing that suitable quarters are provided
in the carhouse and that all proper
facilities are provided in the way of
lunch room facilities rest rooms, etc.
"A matron recommended by they.
w. c. A. will be empfuyed and have
direct charge of the women employees
and their quarters in the carhouse.
All women conductors employed will
work under exactly thsstAame condi-
tions and at the sauesfate of pay as
the men, and no men will be displaced
or discharged, except for good couse,
and no women will be employed to fill
vacancies for which there are men
women will not operate to the disad-
vantage OF any men employees insofar
as wages, standing, or seniority in the
service IS concerned.
''The management Of the company
feels that the employment of women
conductors is made necessary by the
demand upon the country's manpower
by the war, and that by giving en-
ployment to women as conductors 1t
will not only be able to maintain its
public service but thereby permit a
corresponding number Of men to rem
der a patriotic service to the country
by taking employment in industrial
plants engaged in the manufacture of
war essentials"

COMPENSATION
Civil ==Empleyyess En- Government
Receive wo-Thirds Of Pay
When Injured.

WASHINGTON, May 16.-The
United States Employees Compensa-
tion commission authorizes the fol-
lowing.
An act passed by congress and ap-
proved Sept. Z, 1916. provides for the
compensation of civil employees of the
United States when they sustain in
juries while in the performance of
duty. If the injuries need medical or
surgical attention the employees are
entitled to treatment at United States
hospitals and by United States
medical officers; or, if these are not
available, treatment may be obtained
of physicians or hospitals designated
for the purpose.
If more than three days are lost
from work because Of the injury, the
employe is entitled to compensation
for the time lost in excess of three
days. The amount Of the compensa-
ton is two-thirds of his salary, but
in no case more than $66.67 a month.
Special provisions are made for COM
pensation in case of death.
TO carry out the provisions of the
act commission was provided for
by the law and appointed by the
president. This commission is known

NEW YORK, May 16.-John D.
Ryan's Anaconda Copper Mining
company, whose average peace time
earnings (1911-1913) We're $11,741,-
1856, reports wartime earnings for 1917
of $34,333,751.
This gives the company excess war
profits (that is, profits over and above
usual peace profits) of $22,592,566,
or practically twice as much in excess
war gains for 1917 as it ordinarily
made in peace years.
Everything considered" says the
Wall Street Journal, the 1917 report
was remarkable. In addition to be-
ing the worlds biggest individual cop
per mining and smelling combination,
Anaconda is producing gold, silver,
zinc, lead, coal, lumber, copper rods
and wire; manufacturing ferro-man-
ganese: and developing big copper
properties in South America that will

Many Accidents !!
In State During
Month tof April
Report Of Depardnent Of Labor
Shows 2,s22 Industrial Mis-.
haps; 77s Serious.

ST. PAUL, Mimi, May 16.-The
industrial accident record in the
state was somewhat worse for the
month of April than for the prcvi-
GUS month, according to the study
made by the State Department of
Labor. The actual situation was
not as bad as the figures indicate,
however. r.
There were 1922 accidents as
compared with 2,4O3 in March. A
couple hundred of these were due
to delayed reports in the mining
industry which should have been
spread over several of the previ-
Ous months. The number of seri-
Gus accidents was 779 as compared
with 521 in March. There were
fewer accidents to women than in
March, Sc as against. 81. There was
a decrease also In fatal accidents,
IS as contEasted with 20 in March.
They occurred in the following in
dustrics: Mining, 8; stores, 2;
yards, 2; and one each for public
utilities, municipal service and
wrecking and moving.
The department has been maxi
ing renewed endeavors to secure
prompt reports OF all accidents,
especially to have the requirement
observed that fatal and serious ac-
cidents must be reported within
forty-eight hours. Inquiry was
made into number of cases of
delay during the month. The April
accidents as distributed among the
various industrial groups were as
follows: :

THREATEN STRIKE
OF LAKE SEAmEN; ;
BLACKLIST CAUSE
Twin Ports Union Men Assert
Government Intervention
Prevent Wa|kout,

That there is a strong proba bility
of lake seamen striking because of a
virtual blacklist against certain men,
was the statement of Head of the
Lakes members of the Lake Seamen's
union here this week. It is asserted
whether or not walkout will be or
dered depends entirely on what word
is received from Victor Olander, now
in Washington.
The trust organization, the Lake
Carriers association went into the
conference between government rep
resentatiyes, lake transportation COM
panies and union delegates last fall
and agreed to abide by the decision of
the government that it should give up
it's blacklisting welfare books. The
present season has begun, it is said,
with a. new form of book, regarded as
a mere evasion.
IF the Lake Carriers organization
is able to maintain it's present tactics,
there will be a strike against all its
boats" said member Of the. union
Saturday, but added it was felt the
matter would be adjusted through the
shipping board.
Recently, after various conferences,
one of which was held in Cleveland by
the different lake unions and the
business agents at the several ports,
petitions were sent to Washington by
the marine unions calling attention to
the fact that the Lake Carriers asso-
citation had failed to live up to the
agreement, and urging the shipping
board to use it's power under the law
to take charge of the iron ore boats
and to operate them for the period of
the war;. in order to avert a strike on
the Great Lakes against the trust
boats. Olander is awaiting a decision
on this request.
At the same time Andrew Furuseth,
veteran International president, ad-
dressed a statement to the govern
ment, making complaint that various
provisions of the La Toilette seamen's
act had not been put in forces. One
of these was the language provision,
which requires the crew Of boat can
not be men who only speak different
languages and in time of accident
would be unable to understand" each
others commands.
Among Duluth and Superior sailors,
it is claimed the pay on the lakes has
not been increased in proportion to
the increases among the land employ
ments and the trust boats are said to
pay less than those recognizing the
union.

States does not want universal milit-
ary training. The public knows that
universal military training made the
outbreak of war in 1914 possible
Germany has had it for decades. 1t
has been her curse, just as it will
curse any nation which adopts it.
There never was a consistent argu-
ment for universal military training
except as it is advanced as means
for everlasting war. Prussianism is
nothing but universal military train
ing, and that is the thing that the
United States is giving it's best blood
to destroy, and any man, who is so
far forgetful OF what the boys are
doing in Europe as to advocate
continuance of the thing they are
sacrificing to destroy, should receive
the rebuke of every really loyal citi-
zen. This is no time to gallop about
jauntily on pet hobby, either be-
cause it is profiteering scheme or

ously for the press about the unpre-
paredness of America.
Permanent Peace Is Aim.
An editorial in the Pullman, Wash
ington, Herald hits the nail on the
head. 1.-THE only excuse for univer-
sal military training is a German VIC
tory in this war. The peoples of the
Allied powers are making supreme
sacrifices because they believe that
the fruit of victory will be permanent
peace and relief from the burden of
maintaining great military and naval
establishments. What a staggering
blow it would be to their hopes to
learn that this nation is not prepar-
ing for future peace but for future
war. That instead of planning to re-
duce it's military power the United
States is planning to permanently in
crease it,"
am not against military training
! because it does not develop the body.
It may or may not do it, and I speak
from personal experience. I am
! against military training after this
war as a univepsal practice because

! velopment. Any good system Of gym

less we can completely overthrow
Prussianism and destroy the spirit
which has created Germany's fight
ing power, then we shall need the
greatest army. and the greatest navy
which we can produce and we shall
read them both for many years to
come.
Now, please think of that argument
for a moment. It is the best pro- Ger
man expression in a periodical in
America for many moons. On it's face
it looks loyal, but there is only one
inference to draw and that is that
America cannot take victorious
army into Berlin. If she can, then
she will not need a large army and
navy for years to come. But the edi-
tor says we will need them. He, there
fore, is weakening the morale of our
present army. BY suggesting that we
need universal military training he
announces his belief in the invincibil-
lty of Germany. Yet the editor of the
Manufacturers Record is being quoted
in all the papers as an authority on
Americanism 1t is time to think
through things instead of accepting
such expressions, as the editorial re-
ferred to above. It is just such con-
slant harping about our inability to
bring the war to successful conclu-
sion and the need of preparing for a
ten-year struggls which makes a ten
year struggle a possibility. For one I
wish to protest against the studied at
tempt on the part Of newspapers and
journals-to prolong thisswar We want
to win the war imm ediately and we
