THE WRONG IDEA.

Somehow. their is feeling abroad among
the laboring class that the Progressively Miner
is opposed to labor unions Why this is circulat-
ed. we have no knowledge. Be it as it may. let
it it be understood that we favor union in all
things: but legitimate union and not union or
ganized to down one class for the benefit of an
other. Labor union is dersired for self-protec-
ton if nothing else but when it is for the purpose
of getting exclusive power over an industry: to
dictate prices profits: hours and all incidents: in
other words to run the business of other people
we are opposed to such unions just the same as
we are opposed to party machine debating the
policy of the government and no more. The
majority should rule: but when handful of NAL
contants-eomparatiye speaking, get together
to hinder progress. they have no right to expect
favors. for they compose not the majority.

Keep Children
Close to Home

Bemidji passed the first day of its
close. up on account OF the epidemic
5of Spanish influenza quietly and
Sunday being utterly devoid OF any
attractions fer it's Inhabitants.
Churches, motion picture theatres
and everything that would afford a
diversion from routine were shut
tight. The cid went ON Saturday
evening and there was nothing open
to afford the usual Saturday night
entertainment.
The closing of the schools carried
with it the implied order for par
ents to keep their children at home
and not allow them to roam the
streets, but the Central school yard
on Sunday resembled large picnic
as the playground was thronged
with children, allowed to play IN
public on Sabbath day.
Orders to Parents.
Mayor Vandersluis today made
request of Captain Stewart OF the
home guard to assist in notifying the
parents OF bemluJI W hceP ihSil

With four other companions, Miss
MCGEE fed to the lake and out onto
a short pier. There they fought for
