" For Working Girls.
Representative-elect and Mrs.
William E. Andrews of Hastings,
Neb., are planning festive Christ
mas tree for the large family of
war working girls which Mrs. An
drews has mothered and housed and
fed since the first influx of war
workers. Although a woman so
busy with her own philanthropic
works at that time. that she could
hardly give up minute to any
other work, she saw and met the
necessity Of giving protection and
even shelter to the girls here alone,
who were, many of them, being
victimized by prohteers. The
profteers were not old Washing
tonians, but strangers, more or less,
who are here for the profit they
can make. D..
Mrs. Andrews established the
wonderful work of the day nur-
sery in a district where it is most
needed, to help worthy working
women of families, to get out COM
tortably, do their daily work, and
know that their little ones are be-
ing properly cared for. Mrs. An
drews has kept up that work right
along. She has suffered like every
one else, from lack of help recently,
and only a few nights ago the nur-
sery superintendent telephoned her
at late hour of the evening that
two children of that day had never
been called for, and it was past
time to close for the night. The

herself in the world of art. Follow

poster, which decorates one side of

Eastman for the benefit of the re-

her place in the business world, for
she has been a designer for local
firm since the completion of her
work in Chicago.

W. G.. CALDERWOOD, CANDIDATE FOR u. S.
SENATE,* ENDORSED BY ORGANIZED LABOR

w. G. Calderwood of Minneapolis
candidate of the progressive voters of
the state for United States senator in
opposition to Knute Nelson, the reac-
tionary old guard incumbent, has been
officially endorsed by organized labor
and throughout the state the fight is
being carried for Mr.. Calderwood to a
most successful issue. The Democratic
national committee and President Will
sons closest supporters have also en-
dorsed Mr.. Calderwood, while the big
Independent vote of the state is glad
of the opportunity Of rally around the
standard of a clean man with a clean
record.
This support as a group consisting
of the progressive vote in direct align
ment against the reactionaries is de-
termined that at this election the
strongest of the old guards in the
northwest shall disappear from the
U. S. senate roster. Knute Nelson has
occupied the seat in the senate so long
that he had been overlooked in the
universal changing order of progress
siye ideas until Mr.. Calderwood began
to expose his reactionary record. Dur
ing the past week Mr.. Calderwood has
electrified the state by his phenomenal
campaign qualities and at the present

wants to know to what extent candi-
date is with labor, how far he will go,
if he will stand without hitching, and
if his word is worth a hoot in the
hereafter.
To. get down to brass tacks: The
list of candidates given at the head Of
this article have given sufficient guar
antee that they are favorable to legis-
lation that labor demands and unfa-
vorable to legislation that labor does
not want. That is why The Labor
World is advocating their election
next Tuesday.
Henry w. Cheadle, who is candi-
date for the state senate from the
Fifty-seventh district. has always been
favorable to labor. AS city clerk. in
years gone by. he showed himself to
be such a friend; and when he served
in the state senate before the present
incumbent succeeded, Mr.. Cheadle
proved himself still friend of labor.
In private business he has shown that
he has not changed his views, and in
this campaign he has given every re-

ter for laboring men; and for laws
that will better their living conditions.
In the same district. John J. Lane is

resentatives. Mr.. Lane has not only
pledged himself as favorable, to labor
and to: the betterment of Duluth in re-
gard to the steel base price, but his

time is viewed by political experts as
the next senator from Minnesota.
During the course of the campaign
Senator Nelson's record has been ex-
anlined closely and itlhas been deter
foes organized labor has had on its
list. The senator has been wrong on
any number of measures which have
had directly to do with the public well
fare and he has continued this policy
consistently through his long period OF
service. Senator Nelson has claimed
that he has been with the President,
but an examination of the records
proves that he has opposed President
Wilson in nearly every important
measure the President has cham
pioned.
In an open Telegram dispatched
yesterday to Senator Nelson, Mr. Cal
derWood exposes this record very
thoroughly.

UNION LABOR RAPIDLY COMING TO SEE
THAT SALOON HAS HAD BAD INFLUENCE

One of the features Of the present
intensive campaign to make Minnesota
dry and put that insidious and foxy
enemy of the workingman, the saloon,
permanently under ground, is the in
union labor in all parts Of the state.
In every city and town of any size
progressive and far-seeing members Of
organized labor have gotten together
in Trade Union Dry leagues and are
putting in their spare time working
and talking for the adoption of the
amendment to the state constitution
to be voted on Nov. 5.
IF every union man only understood
how the liquor interests have hamper
ed the labor movement in this state
and made it difficult to secure re-
forms, there wouldn't be one vote in
ten for the saloons,' said John Good
win, prominent member of the
Bricklayers' union and an officer Of
the Duluth Trade Union Dry league
yesterday. 1.-THE very terms under
which this amendment to the con-
stitution has to be carried is one of the
best examples I know of how smooth
ly the liquor crowd used to run
things" he continued.
tFor instance, the amendment has
to have majority of all the votes cast
at an election. not only this dry
amendment, but all amendments; a
fine chance labor has to get an in
itiative and referendum plan or any
other needed reform in the interests
of the people into the Constitution on
that difficult basis, and it was 'pur-
posely made difficult by the brewers
and wholesalers who were long-head-
ed enough to see that sometime in the
future prohibition amendment would
be presented. and in order to protect
themselves they made it hard for every
other kind of amendment.
Every voter interested in legisla-
ton for the common people owes that
bunch grudge for this one thing

alone, although everybody knows that
there's hatful Of reasons why the
saloon should be voted out.
fortunately, however. union labor
is rapidly coming to see that the
saloon is a bad influence, not only for
men personally but for it's influence
against progressive measures. Ten or
fifteen years ago the saloons used to
be hang-outs for the union boys, in
fact so much SO that you could almost
call them union headquarters in some
cases, but not any longer.
Nov that Duluth has been dry for
year or more, even with the abnor-
NAL conditions that have existed on
account of the war. a lot of the men
have realized how much money they
used to waste in saloons; many of
them have money now that never did
have and their families are getting
better care.
you can look at this question up
and down and inside and out and there
is no argument that I ever heard OF
that will convince workingman who
does his own thinking that the saloon
is anything but a nuisance and place
to drag man down. Every union
man has a great opportunity next

corded at the national capital, and
views that condition with conside- able
satisfaction. But the fairness Of
Washington does not cover everything.
The question, closer at home, is What
sort of a deal will we get at St. Paul
next winter?" And that question is of
such supreme importance that labor
ing men should take nothing for
granted.
The Labor World has not, and in in
dorsing the men for the state senate
and house which it names herewith, it
has done so only after knowing and
not guessing at their attitude. That
is the only thing to do.
Labor, in the past, has taken great
deal for granted, a slap on the back
being interpreted as a favorable atti-
tude, and honeyed words listing can
didate as ''good fellow" and a sure
enough friend Of the laboring men
and his interests. OF late years labor
has been getting wise to the situation,
with the result that the glad hand and
the ''Sure. Tn with you'' attitude is
not taken at its. face value, Labor

. The general election of next Tuesday
will be an important one to all classes,
but to none more than to labor; and
it is we'll that men who work with
their hands make it point to do their
full duty at the polls. That this state
ment may sound trite because of it's
repetition as each election day nears,
it is more than ordinarily true this
year, and leaders in every line of la
Dor are doing their utmost to have the
men whom: they represent appreciate
the Importance of the questions at is
sue and to have them vote for candi-
dates who are known and tried friends
as against those who are known and
tried enemies, or in doubt. Choosing
between the latter, it may be, they
feel, that the known and tried enemies
would be preferable to those in doubt,
as it is some comfort to know where
a man stands. e
One might think that in these days,
bristling with vital issues to working
men of every class, that the country
might be free for the nonce of that
we'll known pest. the pussy-foot can
didate; but, unfortunately. such is not
the case. He is present everywhere,
even though it is difficult to see where
he belongs in these red-blooded days.
There are candidates who are lodging
the questions that laboring men want
to know about, trying to ooze into Of
flee on their personality or some fluke
"platform.''

from free of this class, and it is only
