DULUTH BUSINESS Men x1END GREE TINGS

The war and the patriotic re.
Spouse OF workingnen to the call
Of their country have torn down old
pretudices and brought all classes
closer together than they have ever
been before.
Business and professional men ap-
preciate the spirit which aniraates
American workingmen In this war.
Long nursed principles have been
cast aside. Trade rules and Gus
toms have been forgotten, and but
one object prompts loyal working
men and women at this hour, and
that is to win.
Workingmen know full we'll that
military machine triumphs in the
conflict, all that labor, has strdven
for during the past hundred years
will be lost. The interests and Sc
curity of labor are on the side Of
the United States and her allies.
Most people recognize that labor
is playing an unusual part in the
war. They appreciate the sterling
worth and splendid service, Of Sam
uel Gompers. the chief spokesman
for American labor, and they are
1dH1ll1dT WITH the persistent oIIOrts
of organized labor to stamp out sedi-
ton and to discourage seditious Ut
terances.
+ At the request Of the Labor World
a number Of Duluth business and
I professional men have penned testi-
monials to labor as greetings on this
| greatest Of all Labor Days From
New York our distinguished fellow
townsman, Julius H. Barnes, Of
whom we all are proud, sends the
following:

DULUTH LABOR loyal
. TO C0uNTRY'S CAUSE

No citizens Of our common country
are doing more and few are appre-
ciated less than our bankers who are
called upon to assist in financing the
government through the war, whose
banks and force of clerks contribute
more than the average man apprect-
ates to the winning of the war. Du-
lutl1 is proud Of her banks and her
bankers, and the following tribute to
labor from John H. Digit, cashier Of
the First National Bank Of Duluth in
,dicates that bankers appreciate the
work Of others:
1T il an inspiration to all true
Americans to see around us the abund-
ant evidence Of the validity of the
Democracy, of our country and the
unity Of purpose Of ell our citizens.
= AT this time Of each year Is due a
greeting from every man and woman
who gives service in some part Of the
social organization to every other one
so employed.
1.-THE Just war which our govern
ment was compelled TO recognize as

latent loyalty Of all our citizens to
each other.
;"This is shown in the sacrifice Of ef-
fort, time. money, service work and
overtime, when necessary, so whole
heartedly given all along the line.
This is more plainly visible in tie
magnificent response Of the organiza-
tons engaged in producing to supply
the enormous needs of the govern
ment. The perfection of the output
Of material in Duluth to help establish
Democratic governments throughout
the earth, is a certification Of surety
Of where local labor stands and join
with other loyal citizens in greeting
all who are giving their sustained ef-
fort to the support Of our government
and the attainment Of the great OBJ
ject sought.

time nearly all Of the Iron Ranges in
the Lake Superior district, and have
yet to find any complaint as to the
loyalty of the men engaged in mining
iron ore. We find them contributing
literally out Of their income to all the
various war funds, and it is very SOL
dom indeed that you hear Of a case
where a man refuses to 90 contribute.
I'm our" individual company might
state there is not one single employe
who is not giving, and practically all
are buying Liberty Bonds and War

this Lake Superior region is certainly
doing his share.

PATRIOTISM BENDS
EVERY EFFORT TO WIN

Are the iron mines loyal? Francis
J. Webb. general manager Of the Re-
public Iron and Steel company, a
liberal, generous and sympathetic rep.
resentative of employers, bears testi-
1nony to their patriotism in the fol-
lowing tribute to labor:
1.-THE men who stays at home and is
working with his hands to produce
the raw materials that go toward the
manufacture of munitions Of war, is
doing his part in the prosecution Of
this great war in a different way but
as surely as the man at the front.
Some one must stay behind in order
to support our men overseas. The
laboring man who does this and bends
every effort toward speeding up those
necessary materials is every inch a.
patriotic citizen.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
after WAR IS over

Charles P. Craig, always working
for the public good, praises labor for
it's loyalty during the war, and urges
consideration for the emergency that
will confront US after the war in the
following:
IT know that labor is American and
all Americans will not only do theic
bit, but to the limit Of all that is
possible for them to do.
"Appreciating my feelings, I know
you will excuse me. AS a forward
looking people we should be concerned
now to meet the emergencies after
the war, and I take this occasion Of
bringing to your attention three fun
damental thoughts much in my mind:
"First: The settlement Of our pro-
ductive lands;
Second: The development OF the
iron and steel industry;
"Third: A broader use Of the Great
Lakes. -
"Referring to the first-Secretary
Lane Of the interior has caught the
idea, and If we will only cooperate
and lend our active support and effort
more can be done in this direction
within the next six years than has
been accomplished in the last 20.
1.-THE development Of the steel in
'dustry is familiar subject. The Great
Lakes, after the war, should never go
back into competition with the rail-
roads; they should be in class by
then1aeIves and frsnsnortation hasAd
upon the cost Of operating the boats.
Railroad lines should not lower their
rates below a profitable charge in
order to compete with the boat lines,
nor should boat lines be permitted to
raise theirs to point just enough
below the railroads to take the bust
ness These three, comprising as they
do our great natural resources, con-
tain the potentialities Of Duluth and
Minnesota

LAB0R'S RESPONSIBLE
PART IN GREAT WAR.

L. A. Barnes, former alderman and
prominent West Duluth banker, with
an, enviable record for public service
greets to Duluth labor as follows:
my message to labor is, keep work.
Ing. They have the most honorable
part Of those left behind, that Of sup
plying our fighting men.
whenever anyone is tempted to
quit because the work is hard or the
pay is small, let him think OF the SOL
diers in the trenches undergoing all
kinds Of hardships and dangers for
long hours and with small pay, and
then If he believes in the sacredness
OF our cause he will feel rising within
himself feeling Of self-abnegation, a
holy desire to forget self and to again
plunge into his<part of the tremendous
struggle which is raging.
IF he does this and does all he can
to build ships, manufacture munitions.
transport supplies or any other neces.
sary labor, he will have the satisfac.
ton Of knowing he has contributed all
he could to the victory which we so
much hopes for.
"And in future years, when the
world has been made safe for democ-
racy he will be an honored citizen
because, during this Crucial period, he
kept working.

As long as one buyer has arrived
others viii follow. Then there are
firms who have permanent buyers in
Paris, and there are also one or two
buyers who remained over from last
season owing to the difficulties OF trav-
Hing back and forth; so altogether
there will be enough buyers interested
IN autumn millinery to start the ball
rolling in good fashion this week.
|, Though Paris may seem deserted as
far as women are concerned. there are
still enough left to want to know what
the new styles in hats may be. And
the women elsewhere are probably
more eager to know what is going on
in Paris In regard to the fashions than
| Parisians themselves.
Although the modistes are not yet
ready to let their secrets out concern
ing just what style of hats we may en-
pect for the early autumn. they say
they will have a new choice OF models,
for they do not intend that American
buyers shall cross the ocean in these
critical times without being amply re-
paid for the trip.

the amount consumed must be con-

a larger use of fish and of the fresh

meat.
Milk and Its products should be used
In abundance during this time Of sea-

should be given plenty OF whole milk.
Butter may be used freely.
Above all, every woman in the coun-

path. Even II the coming crop proves
all that is expected, the country's
granaries are now almost swept clean
and reserves both here and across the
Atlantic must be laid by for possible
