COAL DOCK: OPERATORS
make FIGHT. UNION

Members Of Duluth Electrical
Workers Union No. 524 are still out
on strike, and there is no prospect for
an immediate settlement.
It is the consensus of opinion
among men familiar with the situa-
ton that the operators are stu b.
bornly holding out against the. de-
nlands of the workmen, not because
they object to granting the wage in
crease. but because they dislike to
recognize the union.
The coal operators are doing what
other employers have been doing to
the workmen in an effort to gain the
confidence of the public; that is hid
ing behind their alleged liability to
pay higher wages in an effort to
escape from recognizing the union.
Strike Of the ore dock workers
ended during the week, in accordance
with instructions received from Presi-
dent O'Connor|o Of the Longshoremen's
Union. He has promised to take up
the demands of the men wi h the au-
thorities in the east. -

The Proctor Federated: Trades. and
Labor assembly is now working on
plan, suggested by a Pine City retired
farmer, to eliminate. the middleman
by bringing farm products direct from
southern Minnesota to Proctor.
An effort. will be made by the
assembly to organize bus.line to-. op-
crate between Pine City, and Proctor
and Two Harbors, the laboring men
in the Latter place having become
interested in the Proctor plan.

There is much enthusiasm in favor
of the plan in the railroad village, and
labor. leaders believe that it will be
possible to start the proposed bus line.
J. The Proctor. plan is a good one.
IF it works. it will do more good than
all the investigations which could be
carried on from now until doomsday.

man being made the goat. He suf-

suits either.
"Something is wrong somewhere"
is the comment usually made by the
average citizen about the high cost OF
living. Something is wrong, but unless
all the people cooperate to discover
the reason, the wrong probably never
will be righted.

MOTHER JONES JAILED

Jones addressing the crowd after be-
ing freed. advising them to organize,
develop their collective power and
thus be able to redress their wrongs
by the orderly means. It is hard to
say what might have happened. The
police who were quick to follow the
bidding of the steel trust and drag an
old woman off to Jail for daring to
raise her voice in behalf Of the op-
pressed workers, were equally quick
to make use of her assistance to quiet
crowd Of outraged workers over
whom they had lost every particle of
control.
The ''triar' was set for the follow
ing night. but when the prisoners
presented themselves several thousand
steel workers assembled on the out
side. An extra force of police was
on hand. but none of the workers
were permitted to enter the court
room." Obvi usly. the situation was
serious. The cases were hurredly

Mother Jones, realizing the very
grave danger that confronts the
