1t had showed great deal during the
last few days and getting enough to
eat had been no easy matter.
Near by they saw white house.
There was garden around II; nice
big garden and just the place for birds
In the summer time.
But these birds were here In the win

When snow covered the suet 1t was

1t was all very delightful. The last
few days, however, had seemed to be
very busy ones in the white house.
The birds could see that greens were
being hung everywhere. over the pic
lures. book cases and mirrors, and
wreaths were put In all the windows.
Preparations were evidently being
made for some unusual event.
There seemed to be no end to the
amount Of green's. Some were wound
to look like long ropes and great
branches were put behind large pic
lures. The house was gay indeed with
fires. which were burning In all the
f1replaces.
Much wood was carried In. and the
birds thought how warm the people in
side must be. and how cold 1t was
outside. They shivered and wished
they had gone South after all.
Then q little tree was carried In.
and one of the birds that was near the
dining room told the others that the
tree was put on the dining room table.
Another medium sized tree was in the
big room, where most of the excite

Of all sizes and description under 1t.

Through the institute he advocates
that Labor Civics' should be taught
in schools through auditorium exer-
cises and class instruction. In an ap-
peal to the superintendent of the New

Dor day: "This day is not only a.
holiday but also a turning point each
year toward greater democracy lin

After recalling that Labor Day is
today being celebrated as a legal holi-
day in every state, Mr.. Barnes gives
these reasons for using school time to
understanding this significance:
Twenty million pupils and students
are being affected by the day how
ever unconcsiously. Anything worth
stopping work for, worth spending
billion dollars for, is worth UNDER

Disappointed because the Fed

year the Boilermakers and Shipbuild-

last Thursday evening voted to turn
out anyway. The Riverside band
was secured and about 1000 ship
builders helped to give spice to the
day.

ing man to Identify himself with the
union movement. Mr.. Towne spoke
largely on industrial unionism. He
devoted considerable of his address
to profiteering and advised workers
to organize, cooperate and fight to
a finish.
At Paramount park, in the after
noon, union men and their families
made merry in true holiday fashion.
Schaeffer, chairman; A. G. Catlin,
John E. Jensen, Commissioner w. F.
Murnian and A. P. Young had pro-
vided the West Duluth band-orches-
ira for entertainment in concert from
to p. m. and Helmer's orchestra

noon and evening. The crowd at
the park surpassed all expectations
and Chairman Schaeffer expressed
an opinioan that fully 10000 persons
were there.
Jensen Speaks. II
The features of the program at
the park were speeches by John E.
Jensen, president of the Federated
Trades assembly, and Howard Van
Lear, son Of former Mayor Van Lear
of Minneapolis. During the AFTER
noon there was a concert by the
West Duluth band, under the leader
ship of c. A. Gregory, and dancing
at the pavilion.
In his speech Mr.. Jensen eulogized
! organized labor for the part it played
! during the war. He drew the at
tention Of his hearers to the fact
that it was because of labor's Or
ganization that it was able to re-
spond so efficiently to the demands
of war. and emphasized the necessity
for closer organization in the future.
Mr.. Van Lear spoke of the new
labor daily paper, the Minnesota
Daily Star, the first number Of which
he expects will leave the press about
Nov. 1. He said that labor has long
felt the need of it's own paper,
through the columns of which it's
sentiments could be truly reflected.

Superior Tai|ors Granted Week

Work System.

Superior tailors settled up with
their employers this week without a
strike and got new wage scale
that is satisfactory in every respect.
The union and the employing tailors
have been in conference for several
weeks on the new wage schedule

ment that a strike would be neces-
sary to force the demands.
The union demanded that the sys-
tenn of wages be changed from piece
work to a weekly basis with over
time payments in excess of eight
hours. The Duluth tailors were put
on the weekly basis last May.
The following are the wages agreed
to this week:
Coatmakers - First-class tailors
