ployed by the foster parents, even DR..
Rowe, the eminent expert, who said
that Mrs. Jensen was a most excellent
mother to the little one.
There the little form lay, thin in
body, face drawn, lips cracked and
blue. 1t was distressing sight to the
fond foster parents and they were dis
consolate. But the baby hands were
stilled for all time. The little face
never would smile again. Those little
lips never more would exclaim "Dadal
dada" when father Jensen came home
from his daily toll.
Little Dorothy was an unwelcome, un.
fortunate little war baby who never
had a fair start in the world but how
the Jensens loved her. Even the great
state of Minnesota or the omniscient
Miss Hayes could not have loved her
any better.
The Jensens then were asked if thev
wished to take charge of little Dor
othy's burial.
owe do not feel so Inclined" they
replied. eff she belonged to another
faith before she was taken from u,
then let that church bury her."
"That will not be done," was the
information given them.
"Then Let the state board of control
bury her," said the Jensens.
. The state provides no funds for
that purpose" was the next informs-
1lon. 4
When the undertaken informed the
Jensens that little Dorothy would be
buried in cheap box in the cold and
unfriendly potter's field, their hearts
cried out in protest.
"We will bury the poor little dear.n
they exclaimed, "and we will make IL
really, truly Christian burial"
So. it was done. A dainty little
casket was provided for the wasted
baby form. Everything was done that
was possible or permissible. Wednes-
day afternoon of last week little Dor.
othy, the unfortunate little war baby,
was consigned to the cold bosom of old
Mother Earth.
Then the management of the Chill.
dren's Home limited that no board
money had been paid on Dorothy's
account since last February. The Jen-
sens felt that the little one was taken
from them against their will and that
they had no hand in consigning it to
the Home, therefore they were under
neither legal nor moral obligations to
pay that bill.
What the omniscient Miss Hayes or
the great state of Minnesota will do,
narrator knoweth not. To the Jensens,
however, it seems as if Miss Hayes and
the state have done just about as
badly by baby Dorothy as they pos.
sibly can. They probably will rest
content to let her case alone hence
forth.

SPIRITED CONTEST
IN UNION CIRCLES
The Trades and Labor Assem-.
bly, Haggles Over Question
of Seating McEwen.


There was quite spirited contest
between the radicals and conservatives,
the Old Guard and the New Regime,
in the Trades and Labor Assembly, re-
Gently, over the. proposition Of seating
William E. McEwen as a delegate from
the plumbers union.
Mr.. McEwen once was a journeyman
plumber. He then acquired the Labor
World and combined the publication of
that paper with various activities in
the realm Of organized labor.
When Mr.. McEwen left the post
office some months ago and resumed
active, personal management and edi-
torship of the Labor World, he saw
advantages in being more intimately
in touch with the local unions, espe-
cially their clearing house, the Trades
and Labor Assmebly. He accordingly
put the matter up to the plumbers

was wished onto the schools in this
hustling, aggressive, progressive city
of the Northwest, place where
climate, people and social atmosphere
are utterly unlike that Of the hook
worm belt.
AS mere man, Hoke's worthiness
is not under question or discussion. As
an educator, with ability and suitabil-
ity for this particular city, he has
proved very unsatisfactory to great
majority. For three long, weary years,
little coterie Of social, financial and
industrial autocrats have been able to
override the welfare and Wishes of a
majority.
The last call has come to cut for
a new deal and it will be needed. The
elimination of Brewer, McGiffert and
Madam Davis from the school board is
going far towards getting the schools
back into the hands of the people, with
harmony, efficiency and satisfaction
uppermost.

LAURELs FOR MRS. JONES

The combined social, artistic and
business feature of the past week was
Mrs. Stephen Fl. Jones' sale of tickets
for the Sousa band concert and then
the concert, itself, to capacity house at
the Armory, last Wednesday evening.
Mrs. Jones was so busy at helping
the Canadian soldiers whip the Huns
that she passed up most of her eff
cient work as an impressario during
the cruel war. Alone and single
handed, she raised more money for
different war activities and relief pur-
poses than the Rip-saw force ever ex-
poets to possess. If anyone is entitled
to anything and everything in the line
OF ribbons and crosses, Mrs. Jones un-
doubtedfy is the one.
1t is reported that, later in the sea-
son, Mrs. Jones will bring Irving Cobb
to Duluth for the purpose of shelling
off some kernels of his wisdom and
humor. That lecture will be worth
saving money to hear.

union and that organization elected
him delegate to the central body and
gave him credentials accordingly.
At the meeting when the credentials
were first presented, the opposition
prevented their acceptance. The mat
ter was laid over until the next meet
ing for final and decisive disposition.
It is stated that the Assembly
argued and even fought over the mat
ter for almost two hours. Hot speeches
were made pro and con. Finally q
clause in the constitution of the Trades
and Labor Assembly, requiring a dele
gate to be an active, working member
of his trade, was suspended and Mr..
McEwen 8 credentials received.
Among those who favored Mr.. Nc
Ewen's interests in the matter were
John E. Jensen, Henry Perault and
Peter Schafer. Among those who
spoke for the opposition were Henry
NORM, Joe Sperl, Joel Lichten, w. E.
Towne and G. H. Franklin.
It is stated that Mr.. McEwen made
a most earnest plea for admission and
a good many matters were more or less
threshed out in the course of the eve
ming.
If the Rip-saw is correctly informed,
the suspension of that certain clause
in the constitution now will be re-
ferred to the unions for their formal
action.

FOOD HOGS M0NOP0LIZE OUR MILK
Modify Powders-Famers
Six Cents Milk That Costs the Consumer Fourteen Cents-The
Danymen Must Pay Fees

Now this common kind of milk
originally comes from farmers and
dairymen outside the city's gates.
Some live a few miles distant and
others live many miles. The milk
comes to Duluth by express and, after
running the gauntlet Of the clever
alchemists in the noble building Of the
milk magnates, it is dispensed through
the middlemen to the consumers.
A farmer near Munger, not much
over a dozen miles from Duluth, ships
milk to Duluth for $500 per 100
pounds, less Is cents per cwt. for
express.
After feeding and milking his cows,
the farmer totes his milk to the sta
tion and, eventually, nets $2.85 per
cwt. There are IL gallons in 100
pounds of milk, therefore the producer
back of the hills Of Duluth gets shade
less than "a cents gallon, or only six
(6) cents a quart.
After the wholesale boys have
monkeyed with the shipment, the Rip
saw man and his fellows pay IA cents
quart. The monopolists and middle.
men pinch out 8 cents quart for re-
ceiving, modifying and dispensing the
indispensable fluid. They also turn
their money over anywhere from every
three days to once month.
You also pay IA cents quart to
your local dealer whether you take it
over the counter or have it delivered
at the back door.
A bit of cooperation between the
milk producers in the nearby country
and the consumers in the city might
save many a hard-earned dollar. But
some consumers lack cash, others lack
initiative and still others "Let George
Do IT, which he does by doing them
brown. George" is the stage name
of the milk monopolist.
Down at Hinckley some weeks ago,
The Duluth rip-saw. [volume] (Duluth, Minn.) 1917-19??, 1919-06-28

the farmers were getting 26 cents a
gallon for milk. That's bit better
than close to Duluth. Perhaps demand
in the Twin Cities helps the price a
little. Perhaps prices to the producers
have fallen little recently. The Rip
saw knoweth not.
During the winter, the Northern
Minnesota Forest Fires commission
kept the cows Of forest fire victims
in community barns. Grass has grown
so rapidly that those barns have been
abolished, with an exception or two.
The community barn near Twig shipped
milk to Virginia at 30 cents gallon,
or 71a cents a quart, not counting in
express. But that was before grass
started, therefore the price might not
obtain today.
To care for the community barn at
Twig, two men cost $210 a month.
Twenty pounds of hay and 6 pounds of
ground feed per day were considered
a ration for Madam Moocow by the
Red Cross ladies who carried succor
and sunbeams into the dark, devastated
districts in the hinterland. But all
that is another story.
These chaps out around Munger de-
clare, too, that they are not permitted
to ship their milk into the city Of
Duluth unless they pay veterinarian
$100 a cow to test the animals for
tubercular and other troubles.
They further allege that the farmers
around Alborn are better organized
and stand better together, therefore
they have not been compelled to pay
for test this year. Excuse is made
that they suffered severely in the
October fires. The Munger grangers
also insist that they suffered heavily
from fires. While they rejoice in the
good luck Of the Adolph milk pro-
ducers, they mourn over their own
hard lot in having to stand discrim-
ination. But that's another story, also.

The Food Hogs seem to have their
noses quite firmly stuck into the milk
trough. Any baby crying for real milk
must pay very pretty price.
The Rip-saw babies can afford only
the Indifferent, common quality, ladled
out to the proletariat by the monopo-
listic milk magnates. Such milk, until
recently, cost Is cents quart to those
who buy it in bottles. Very recently,
owing to increased length Of the grass
and rainy June, the price Of the local
dealer was reduced to IA cents a quart.
This product of the milk monopolists
is as much like the rich, fragrant,
creamy, nourishing product of the
;paternal dairy on the old Iowa farm
as apple cider is like French cham
pagne. Of course it comes in q glass
bottle with paper stopper. If you
break, lose or fail to take back the
bottle, you get soaked an additional
five or more cents.
There's a modicum of cream on the
common kind Of milk, with ample evi.
dence that some of it has been skinned
off to make expensive butter bricks.
The Indifferent fluid tastes boiled,
stale and, after standing awhile, gives
off an offensive odor. When you
drain the bottle, a white sediment
often is found in the bottom. That
residue is supposed to be due to a
slight excess of the magic milk powder
that is used to give color and body to
the modified milk. A drop or two of
Lake Superior may be added in the
laboratory to make up for leakage,
but there is much magic, if not merit,
in those milk powders.
If you wish milk and cream that are
unmodified and really and truly the
real thing, not having suffered any
from tricks of the trade, you must 60
to small select dairyman and pay
from 16 to 90 cents a quart.
