says is a wage fixing basis under the
state law.

were fixed in 1914" said Miss Evans,
''and since that year the cost of living
has risen at least IS per cent. I con-
tend that the wage schedules should

Three preceding winters the suffer-
ings had been borne with some stoi-.
cism as part Of the war. This winter,
according to popular estimation. the
war is over. They cannot see why
their hardships should increase and
not lessen and every day these hard
ships become Lore irksome.
In ordinary times Italy gets the bulk
OF it's coal supply from Eng1ccnd. It is
getting almost no coal from England
now. The war is over; why doesn't
England send coal? There is grain
enough in the wyrld. Why should
Italy have to live on biscuit day?
It is the imperialistic governments
Of these countries that is to blame
says the Bolshevist propaganda.
Look at what is going on in Paris.
While you are starving and freezing
your governments are wasting time
in debating about the trade advantages
capitalists are to get by annexing these
islands or that strip of territory. Get
rid of the capitalistic form of govern
ment and you get rid of such expert
ences as freezing when there is plenty
of coal and starving when there is
plenty of bread. XXI %@
Up to the present time this agita-
ton has not achieved any Visible re-
suits because Italy was still mindful
of its great and wond erfuI victory of
last October and many Italians have
been engrossed with the fatesof Dali.

Germ, since the Socialist party of italy
is powerful enough to elect more than
one hundred members of the lower
house of the national parliament to
hold the balance of power and to
threaten any administration with de-
struction.
A minority Of the Italian Socialist
party, small but comprising the most
intelligent and best known members,
has taken a strong position against
Bolshevism. The rest. being the great
majority, is all for Lenine.
With these go the bulk Of the Ital-
ian anarchists and anarchism is pro-
portionately stronger in Italy than in
any other country.
Allied with these also is a, certain
small element of labor not hitherto
counted as either Socialist or Anar-
chist. Also. a group of intellectual
sympathizers.
1t will be seen, therefore. that con-
ditions are ripe for trouble. And the
trouble is already on hand.
For three winters Italy has suf-
fered terrific privations and bitter dis
tress. Fuel has been growing always
scarcer, so the people in Northern
Italy and the mountainous regions
have sometimes frozen. Food has been
so scarce, particularly in the rural dis
'tricts that famine has been reducing:

Duluth Labor Helped.

Duluth workingmen will be inter-
ested in the fact that the strike Of
the Metal Polishers' union against the
Brunswick Collender company has
been settled. Committees from or
ganized labor have been waiting on
Duluth business men for the purpose
of notifying them that this form,
makers of monographs, was unfair.
w. w. Britton, president of the
union has sent out circular to the
labor press this week announcing the
settlement of the strike. Recogni-
ton Of the union is made. The union
scale of wages will be paid and the
shorter workday observed. All per-
sons who participated in the strike
will be re-instated without prejudice
in the future.
The agreement further provides
that every strikebreaker shall be i'm
mediately discharged and that work.
ing conditions in the factory shall be
improved. The settlement was a COM
plete victory for organized labor.
Charles r. Atherton, the general
secretary Of the Metal Polishers' In
ternational union, states that the un-
ion is under many obligations to Or
gantzed labor throughout the country
for the valuable and prompt assist
ance rendered during the strike. The
labor press is expressly thanked for
the publicity given and we are urged
to notify all dealers and the general
public that the strike is ended.

TO make TONNAGE
TAX LABOR ISSUE:
St. Paul Organizations Condemn
'''r .abor Members For Voting
Against Bill.

At the last meeting of the st. Paul
Trades and Labor assembly an at
attempt was made by the friends of
T. J. McGrath, P. H. Waters and
P. J. Ryan, labor members from st.
Paul in the state legislature, to have
the assembly rescind it's action In
con demning these men for voting
against the tonnage tax bill.
The debate was long and warm, but
the delegates stood by their former
action on rlol call vote of Ill ayes
and 61 nays. The tonnage tax bill
was fathered by the Nonpartisan
league, and a large number of the
union men in st. Paul have cast their
lot with the league in political mat
ters, led by President Mahoney of the
Trades and Labor assembly. Mr.. Ma
honey also led the fight against the
labor members who opposed the ton
mage tax bill.
Word comes from the Twin Cities
that the fight will be carried to the
convention Of the Minnesota State
Federation to be held at New Ulm
in July. The labor men who are
friendly to the Nonpartisan league
will attempt to put the convention
on record in favor Of the enactment
of a tonnage tax on iron ore mined
in the state. Delegates from the
northern part Of the state will, in
all probability, line up against such a
declaration.
Union labor in this section is not
particularly interested in the passage
Of a tonnage tax bill, the only pur-
pose Of which would relieve the peo-
pie Of other portions Of the state OF
paying their share of the costs OF
running the state government Work
ingmen here who have studied the
tonnage tax question believe that II
such a tax is levied, the money se-
cured therefrom should be placed in
an investment fund and only the in
terest derived from the investment
should be expended for state pur-
poses. The principa4~-fsassda-s}aou ,bs
kept intact forever, so that future
generations will get the benefit of the
tax.

1t is to be feared that in this coun-
try We have greatly. underestimated
the spread of European Bolshevism.
Switzerland is seething with it, Bull
garia is all Bolshevist except what is
Anarchist or has turned bandit. In
every neighboring country except
Greece the agitation is said to be
growing.
It is only to starving and hopeless
populations that Bolshevism can
greatly appeal. Even to such popu-
lations its appeal would be. small Of
they saw before them reasonable
hope of better things. It is the idea
that they, are abandoned fragments of

food and fuel now going on in the
United States does not mean that we
shall always be Indifferent to the dis
tress Of the rest of the world.

Very little was said about the crisis
that came so near to overturning Hol-
land, but all the men in Europe that
watch things very amazed and startled
by it.
Particularly because it revealed all
OF sudden the event to which the
Bolshevist organization had been car
ried secretly.
But, about the end Of January came
out from Bolshevist headquarters in
Russia the call for the first interna-
tional Bolshevist congress and dis
closed Bolshevist organizations in 28
different countries.
Many Of these of course were more
or less immature, but the fact that
they existed at all was the staggering
thing.
Before March, 1917, Bolshevism had
hardly a followed in the world. andSit
now suddenly appeared with millions
In a chain of organizations that
stretched around the globe. -
In some Of the countries the organ
ization was very far from the imma-
ture, as far as it had been shown to-

surprising.

WAGES 0F'LAB0R !

Building Trades WoTkmen Deny
That Labor Is Responsible
For Big Cost Of Building.

John J. Kelley Of New York, presi-
dent of the National Contractors as
sociation, was visitor in Duluth last
week and addressed a meeting of the
Duluth Builders exchange. Mr.. Kel-
ley could not seei any sign in the
Immediate future of the reduction of
building prices. Labor" he said,
would not stand zfor reductions in
wages. On the contrary they are ad-
vancing.
Mr.. Kelley declared that the prin-
cipa1 cause for the eeqtgh: cost of build
in was d VA largslx tQ high wages. He
held that material had advanced
from but 40 to SO per cent, while
labor and commodities had advanced
frotns71 stp@@1 :s,;.;. -s,:s
Duluth union W6r rkfaE1l are wonder
ing where Mr.. Kelley got his figures.
There have been no such increases
granted to Duluth building tradesmen.
A u}uth painter getting 50. cents an
hour before the war is now getting
78 cents, an increase of but 80 per
cent. A bricklayer receiving 80 cents
an hour was recently raised to 81,
CHI AAANA Sooo W ~ POA SCAI' oIA0A
building tradesmen have been raised
in about the same proportion.
On the other hand, we have be-
fore us a government report which
shows that lumber and other build
ing materials have advanced from 76
to 100 per cent since 1913. Investi-
cation will disclose the fact that in
creases granted to laboringmen are
but small items as compared with the
tremendous increases in the cost OF
the things labor produces.
