Congress Prepares for
Recess Over Elections

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1S.-Congres-
sional leaders today prepared for adj
journment of congress from October
20 to November II for over the cleo
tions. Passage of the six billion dol
lar military deficiency bill by both
houses was expected before that time,
thus clearing the legislative calendar
for the brief vacation
Chairman Simmons, of the senate f.
nance committee, plans now to report
the revenue bill before the recess, but
as many senators are campaigning in
their districts, he regards il as unwiSe
to press consideration until after the
elections, when a full membership can
be had.

The Duluth rip-saw. [volume] (Duluth, Minn.) 1917-19??, 1918-01-05

Pittsburgh base rate, now in force
at the head of the lakes, would
drive such enterprises out of busi-
ness or to such eastern points as
Buffalo. He has a personal desire
to live and do business in Duluth
but has been frankly asked by the
steel manufacturers why he does
not 60 where the freight rates will
enable him to meet all competi-
tion. Mr.. Swanstrom maintains
that there is utterly no show for
this city to become fabricator
of iron and steel products so long
as the present Pittsburgh base
rate prevails.
With unanimity and enthusi-
asm, the meeting passed a resolu-
ton, introduced by H. w. Cheadle,
as to steel prices in Duluth.
Unqualified approval was given
to the allied civic organizations of
Duluth in the matter of their re-
quest of the U. S. Steel Corpora
ton that present method of fixing
steel prices be Immediately re-
formed.
A continuance of efforts to free
the city from discrimination was
urged and full support pledged
to efforts to that end.
The resolution called attention
to the foolhardiness of the present
system and the waste caused by it
and the U. S. Steel Corporation
was called on to remove existing
discrimination and to sell it's prod
ucts in Duluth at a price no higher
than charged in Pittsburgh.
Postmaster w. E. McEwen
showed how d S C r i m i n i n

and one that could not be worse
if inspired by personal hatred.
Mr.. Hartley's review Of facts in
the case was followed by the una
imous adoption of a resolution,
outlining deplorable conditions
and gross determinations in the
present railroad passenger and
freight service into Duluth.
The resolution pointed out that
five times as much freight is
handled in Duluth as in St. Paul,
yet rates to and from Duluth are
greater than to the Twin Cities.
Many things that the city of
Duluth has granted to these Of
Tending railroad companies were
poined out as well as the very
little, in proportion, received in
return.
The resolution scored the rail
roads for denying Duluth advan-
tages to which her geographical
location entities her.
In conclusion, the Northern Pa
cific and the Great Northern lail-
ways were condemned for their
hostile attitude towards the
growth and general advancement
of Duluth.
At the present time, buyers of
Duluth made steel are compelled
to pay the Pittsburgh price, plus
the freight rate between Duluth
and Pittsburgh. This is a condi-
tion that discriminates against the
fabrication of steel products in
this city, thereby giving the East
ern points a distinct advantage
and threatening the very life Of
baby industries in steel fabrica-
ton at the Head of the Lakes.
Charles P. Craig presented the
city s side of the matter in a paper
that was logical, exhaustive and
convincing. He reviewed the his
tory of efforts to wipe out the
harmful conditions. His listeners
learned that local officials of the
Minnesota Steel Company cannot
or will not lend hand in secur-
ing relief and that a cOmmunica-
ton sent to the president Of the
rU. S. Steel. Corporation last No
vember has not yet been acknowl-
edged, to say nothing of being
properly answered.
Dwight E. Woodbridge showed
that the transportation side of the
matter favored the utilization of
iron ores at the head of the lakes
rather than its transportation and
utilization at and beyond the
lower lakes.
Otto Swanstrom, president of
the Diamond Calk Horse Shoe
Company, spoke from the stand
point Of a practical manufacturer.
He declared that this existing

Duluth at last has come to the
conclusion that the Hill System
of railroads is deliberately trying
to choke the life out of the city.
Incidentally, Duluth further has
fully come to the conclusion that
the present policy Of the .. S.
Steel Corporation is choking the
life out of steel manufacturing in
this city.
Duluth has decided to combat
any such attempts on her pursuit
Of life, growth and prosperity
At a meeting at the Spalding
hotel last Wednesday evening, at
tended by nearly half a thousand
representatives from every COM
mercial and civic organization in
the city, conditions were reviewed
and ringing resolutions passed
against those that now threaten
the city's very life.
Duluth may have had bigger
banquets in her, day but there
never was a more enthusiastic
gathering of business men in the
entire history Of the city. All pro-
fessions and lines of business We're
represented. 1t came as near be-
ing truly representative as hu-
manly possible. The only thing
lacking was representation from
some of the women's organiza-
tions and organized labor.
This great Over-the-top supper
was held in the big ballroom OF
the hotel Spalding. About $50
plates were laid and the number
would have been much greater
had it been possible to have ac-
commodated everyone anxious to
attend.
A feed that tasted a good desl
like war times was the first event
Of the evening. That was follow ed
by some stereopticon views, en-
bracing historic scenes and ear
toons, illustrating what Dul;,th
has done for herself, what Duluth
has done for the Hill System Of
railroads and what those railroads
have neglected to do for Duluth
or have done to Duluth. Home" G.
Fulton, as the lecturer, made one
of the hits of the evening.
G. G. Hartley next reviewed the
beginning of the fight to keep
Duluth on the map. He told
about the campaign for an univer-
sal trolley fare of 5 cents, with

all Of us should have our say as
to whom the man should be.
