confident that sufficient economic
pressure could be brought to bear on
the firm to compel it to yield from it's
arbitrary position.

interlocking directorate which domi-
mated Duluth industries and banks and
advised unions and workingment to
withdraw their money from the big

AND FIXTURES.
FOR new BANK ADDITION
WERE MADE IN DULUTH

Expressions of surprise and admir-
alton are heard from the many visi-
tors to the new saving department Of
the First National Bank this week.
The completeness Of this new addi-
tlon to the original banking house in
an Innovation in banking circles of the
Northwest, there seems to have been
nothing overlooked for the service.
convenience and comfort of the pa
irons, and as we'll, for the employees,
!. The lobby is large and adequate in
every way for the large and steadily
growing savings business and also to
meet the requirements of the new
trust department.. The safety deposit
vaults are reached by a marble stair
way descending from the lobby, and
also by elevator.
Opening from the main room is a
rest room for women, tasteful in fur
nlshings and which meets all REQUIRE
ments in it's completeness of detail.
The First National Bank is a Du-.
luth institution and in construction,
finishing and equipment the building
is an expression of Duluth industry
and labor, the skill of Duluth's arts
ans is perhaps, nowhere better shown
than in the furnishings of the direc-
| tors room. The building will again
be open for inspection Saturday eve.

U. S. EMPLOYMENT SERVICE
TO CONTINUE IN DULUTH

Hugo V. Koch, director Of the
United States Employment service
for the state of Minnesota, came to
Duluth Tuesday for the purpose Of
raising money to finance the employ
.ment service here. Congress failed to
make the necessary appropriation and
the service is depending largely on
private contributions to carry it on
until relief is given either by the state
or federal government.
Mr.. Hugo succeeded in getting suf-
ficient money from the city and the
Duluth Commercial club to carry the
Duluth offices over the month of
April. It is believed the legislature
will furnish further relief.

STRIKING MOL6ERS MAKE
PLANS FOR LONG BATTLE

The members of the Molders' union
on strike against the Clyde and Ma
tional Iron Works are resting on their
oars. They recognize that it will be
a long drawn-out battle and steps are
being taken to finance the strikers
until the end.
The two Duluth firms are members
of the National Founders association,
which organization it is said will fl
nance them through strike for 60
days, after which they must paddle
their own canoe.
, The Trades Assembly committee is
busy attempting to get other agencies
to interfere and bring about a settle-
ment. 1t is believed better feeling will
prevail between employers and en-
ployes in Duluth from now on and
some sort of plan may be worked out
to bring about a settlement of the
strike.

BY TRADES and LABOR ASSEMBLY
Delegates Hear Report Of Committee and Unanimously Vote to
Get Behind MoIders- Clyde Management Determined
= - toConthue as Open Shop.

open shop and he saw no reason for
changing now.
Five Women Employed.
There were five women employed in
the core rooms receiving pay at the
rate. Of rs cents an hour. Men form
erly received 40 cent?, an hour for do
ing this work. It was held that the
employment of women at less wages
than were paid to men for doing the
same work was but an attempt to re-
duce wages under camouflage.
When Mr.. McGiffert was asked
whether or not he would sign a wage
scale of 80 cents an hour. his reply
was, mo"
When asked if he would discharge
women or pay them the same wages
as were paid to men, his reply was,
"No.''
When asked whether or not he
would grant the eight-hour day, he
said he would leave it to a vote Of the
employees, but not of the union.
Recommends Agreement.
The committee recommended that
a tentative agreement be entered into
with the National Iron Works. and
that fight be put up against the
Clyde. It would take many months to

ployes and architects in the building

NATURALIZATION
REQUIREMENTS

The Record wishes to call attention
to some Of the present requirements
under existing naturalization laws
It is not now as easy to comply with
the requirements for citizenship as
formerly. For instance, ability to
speak the English language has been
included. unless applicant is physical
ly unable or has already a home
stead entry.
In order to assist applicants in
gaining citizenship, the cooperation
of the public school system is being
brought into play. Co. Supt. Hanson
is making special efforts to secure
the cooperation of school teachers in
this county. A Students Textbook
is furnished by the Bureau of Natur-
alization, and teachers win help those
who have had no chance to learn the
English language.
Any male or female over eighteen
years Of age may declare intention to
become citizen. Petition must be
filed within seven years thereafter.
and not until two years have elapsed.
Five years. residence is required, one
year being in the state having juris-
diction at the time Of filing petition.
Two witnesses must be able to per-
sonally vouch for the good character
of the applicant, and he must swear
that he does not believe in anarchy
nor in polygamy.
The government makes it clear that
citizenship is a gift and not right
Of an alien.
Special concessions are made to
soldiers and sailors Of the United
States, or those who served honorably
as such.
Information can be obtained as to
all the necessary steps in securing ma
turalization by applying to any clerk
Of court.
