CHIEF issue IN
CITY ELECTION
Street Railway Question Will
Command First Attention
Of Duluth Voters.

Municipal ownership will probably
be made the chief issue in the next
city election. The voters are very much
wrought up over the street railway
situation and the issue will be pretty
we'll crystalized before the primaries.
OF course everything will depend
upon how busy the legal department
gets between now and March. The
city attorney is said not to be an ar
dent supporter OF public ownership;
and Mayor Magney will in all proba-
bility find it necessary to hurry him
along.
1t is a safe bet that no candidate
can be elected unless he takes a firm
stand on the question. A movement
has already been set on foot to dis
credit the position Of Mayor Magney
by the enemies Of public ownership.
They subtly assert that the mayor is
playing into the hands of the traction
company by advocating city owner
ship at this time; that the company is
losing money and it's owners are only
willing to unload their Junk pile" on
the people.
The Stiffness Of this sort of argument
10 wv 0pPe14 C1L " give H. dLlcul1Of1.
However, it is surprising how many
people, some heretofore friends of
| public ownership, who are swallowing
| such bait. In the first place the COM
pany is not losing money. 1t is true
that dividends are not so large as in
| -wardays, but the receipts of the
company still exceed the expenses by a
good figure. In the next place, this
company above all others is not
foolishly going to lend the least en-
enlargement to municipal ownership
for if the proposition should prove tt
be a success here it would embaress
private ownership in st. Paul, Minnea.
apolis and other cities.
i The owners of this company surely
/ would not permit it's officers to lead
them into any such trap. They know
! better. So get ready for municipal
ownership campaign. It's the mex
big move for Duluth.

DID YOUR union
HELP WIN WAR?
George W. Lawson Of State
Federation Of Labor Wants
to Know.

The State Federation of Labor is
gathering war data from all labor or
CARNATIONS in the state. Secretary
treasurer George w. Lawson of St..
Paul has sent out an appeal request
ing each union for the following infor-
mation:-
The number of members of the
union in the service of our country.
The number who were killed in
action or died of wounds, if any.
The amount subscribed by the union
to- Liberty Loans, Red Cross, funds,
the War Chest fund and other help
full agencies in war activities.
The amount subscribed by indi-
vidual members to these agencies as
near as it~can be ascertained
The responses to this request have
not been as prompt and as complete
as the conditions require. The State
Federation of Labor is disirous OF
compiling all possible data showing
the part taken by the adherents OF
organized labor in the war recently
ended, and officials of unions are
hereby urged to give the matter i'm.
mediate attention and send in their
reports at the earliest practicable
date:

VICTIM OF BLACKLIST
SUES GREAT NORTHERN

=: The day of the corporation black
list is not over. A suit is now being
tried in Judge Cant's court in which
it is alleged that petty officers of the
Great Northern road gave a discharged
roadmaster letter written in such
manner as to forever prevent him
from receiving similar employment
from another railroad in the country.
The plaintiff in the case, Frank
Cleary, asks $4,000 damages from
the railroad company. He is putting
up quite a case and is attempting to
prove that his superior officer on the
road had a grudge against him, and
to. satisfy it, gave him a 'black" letter,
as it is known in railway parlance.
The case is exciting considerable in
terest in labor circles.

The labor movement of Brazil has
gone beyond the propaganda stage.
The textile industry, the basis of the
garment industry, centers in and
around Rio de Janeiro, some of the
largest textile mills in the world be-
ing located there.
The workers, who are banded to-
gether in the Union of Operatives, ,"
sent their demands to the manufact-
urers organized in the Centre Indus
trial de Brazil. The terms were ac-
copied after some parleying, and the
industry became organized. While
wages are not mentioned, the prin-
ciple of union recognition is definitely
established, and thus an entering
wedge secured. A weekly schedule
Of Sc hours is agreed to.

A specie of Bolshevism has spread

uniting the 600 unions there in "One-

If our schools are permitted to con-

is hoped that things may be put in

than we really are, but that we may
appear as we should.
Cards for recording and sending in
"Stamp Sales" will be sent out at
once and it is hoped and expected that
all schools will begin Immediately to

Above is picture Of Captain M. V.
Bates, who died in Seville on Tues
day of last week, and his wife. The
picture was taken a number of years
ago when Mr.. Bates was still in good
health and gives very good idea of
his extreme height. his wife being of
average stature.
Capt. Bates was 7 feet, inches in
height and, as stated in the Sentinel
last week, gained wide fame while
touring this country and Europe with
the Barnum circus many years ago.
A Southerner by birth, Mr.. Bates
enlisted as a private in the Confed-
crate army and rose to the rank of
captain, a title that clung to him as
long as he lived.
The year following the death Of his
first wife, also a very tall woman, in
deed taller than her husband, Capt.
Bates married Annette Lavonne Wealth
erby, daughter of the Baptist min
lister at Seville at that time, and who
survives him. He also leaves an
aged brother, Robert, who is 81, and
nephew, Samuel J. Wright, Of Jenk-
ms, Ky. The latter was present at
the funeral, held from the home last
Friday morning. The service was a
