ARMY OF DICKS"
spy ON PEOPLE
Alleged Street Railway Company
Has Big Crew Of S|ueths
Working Here.

IF the Duluth Street Railway COM
pany would put the money in i'm
provements that is now being spent
on an army of "dicks" who are gath
ering information for the officials
we would soon have better service
here" said a we'll known citizen of
Duluth in The Labor World office
yesterday.
When asked what he meant by
such a statement our visitor who is
familiar with police matters generally
said: "You know I have been in the
police game a good many years. The
Thiel Detective agency has crew of
men here, most of whom T know. and
they are busy mixing with the people
to ascertain what public sentiment
is and what the people are saying
about the service and about the man
agement.
Then too, there has been some
talk of a strike among the employees
Several meetings have been held by
employees in Superior to talk over
the proposition of organizing a union.
The sentiment for organization is
strong among the men and even
among the women conductors. Two
Duluth employees, I have been in
formed, recently lost their jobs for
talking unionism. This information
is given to the management by the
Theil men.
1.-THE dicks also shadow the con-
ductorettes to find out what kind of
company they are keeping and
whether or not their morals are good.
OF course the private detectives have
got to live and if they don't find any
thing on the girls there will be little
use for their employment, so if they
haven't the goods it is up to them to
make them. The company officials
haven't got over their tactics of TWEEN
ty years ago. They are cropping in
the dark"

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 2.-Govern-
ment supervision of public utilities
rather than public ownership, which
he characterized as clumsy" was
advocated by DR.. Harry A. Garfield,

an address recently before the Ameri-
can academy of political and social
science. The fuel administrator said
that certain but not too pronounced
elaboration in the shifting from gov
eminent control to private ownership
is necessary.

UNIONS Demand
BETTER SERVICE
Trades Assembly Requests
Commissioners to Take SteD
Against Car Company.

1t was long after midnight when
the Federal Trades assembly
adjourned last Friday evening at
Owls hall. The delegates were kept
busy disposing of a batch of accumu-
lated business which gathered dur
ing the influenza epidemic.
The first thing off the real was the
adoption of a resolution protesting
to the city commissioners against the
kind of service being given patrons
by the Duluth Street Railway COM
pany. The city council committee
was directed to appear before the
commissioners and voice the protest
of organized labor against the pre-
sent service and to demand of them
that they e--ercise their power under
the franchise and compel the COM
pany to deliver the goods. The
assembly also went on record against
the skip-stop system.
A resolution was adopted against
the closing Of the breweries in the
country, holding that it was depriv-
ing 100000 worAmen of employment
at time when re-adjustm is fur
nishing the nation a serious problem.
A communication was received
from the president of the Interna-
ional Textile Workers union of Ameri-
ca announcing that a general eight
hour strike would be called in Febru-
airy and requesting the support of
organized labor generally. The re-
quest was complied with.
] A Farrell, commissioner of pub
lie works sent a communication to
the assembly reviewing at length the
steps he had taken during the past
four years to re-adjust and increase
wages in his division of the city gov
eminent. He asked the assembly to
appoint a committee to work with
him in shaping a general labor policy
for the public works department. The
assembly accepted the proposition and
President Murnian appointed w. j.
butcher, J. G. O'Neill, John E. Jen-
sen, Henry Moran and Peter Schaef-
fer as committee to work with Com
missioner Farrell.
A motion prevailed authorizing the
appointment of a committee of seven
to call a labor conference for the pur-
pose of nominating candidates for
city commissioner. Each union will
be asked to select delegates and the
same procedure will be taken as was
adopted when W. l.. Carss was nomi-
mated for congress.
The next meeting of the assembly
will be next Friday. anuary 10. O.
which officers for the term will be
elected.

If he decides to file he will become d
strong factor in the campaign.
Lane is Being Groomcd.
Then there is John J. Lane who
came within an ace Of defeating DR..
M. B. Cullum, Duluth's famous gum
sheer, for the legislature His
friends, .elated over the good showing
he made in the fall election, are urg-
ing him to get into the game for con-
missioner. Mr.. Lane is world
beater as a campaigner. He is novel
and original. and has a good word
for everyone. His life. philosophy is:
Everything happens for the best"
Lanes entry into the campaign would
keep the old timers guessing until the
votes are counted.
McKerchcr Is Mentioned.
Now since Bob McI<ercher has re-
signed from his position with the
State Humane society. his friends are
urging him to become a candidate for
commissioner. They want to see him
indicated and they believe if he gets
into the game he will stand a first
class chance. Whatever my be said.
about Bob, we know that he is some
campaigner. He gave us battle for
alderman 13 years ago that kept
us going at top notch speed during
the most exciting campaign we ever
went through.
Labor to Have Candidate.
Union labor will get into the fight
with at least one candidate. A dele
gate convention of labor unions will
soon be called under the auspices Of
the Federated Trades Assembly. Who
the unions will select is not known.
w. F. Murnian, president of the as
sembly has been mentioned. w. E.
Towne of the Typographical union is
being boosted by his friends, as is
also John p. Jensen of the Painters
union. Union labor has a lot of good
timber. We could not begin to men
ton all of the labor men we know
who would make good candidates.
Friends of J. A. Farrell will try to
have the labor convention indorse his
candidacy for reelection.
