Walk-Out Is
Threatened bv
City Firemen
Continued FROM page 1

dred members who crowded into the
associations headquarters in the
World Building yesterday took this ac-
ton in accordance with the advice of
their leader, Albert 4. Guinness, and
following addresses by James 2. Hol-
land, head of the State Federation of
Labor, and Peter j. Brady, supervisor
OF THE City Record" and Leon H.
Rouse, president of Big Six" the
typographical union.
Holland counselled the men to sus-
pend publication, pointing out that the
continued issuance of the paper would
result IN the dismissal of the eight
officers of the organization. He ex-
plained that in such an event the
American Federation of Labor, with
which the men are affiliated, would be
compelled to call strike of the fire
men and leave the city without fire
protection. Brady advised the same ac-
tion.
Considerable feeling was evidenced
IN the discussion following. The men
were particularly aggrieved at the as
sertion of Commissioner brennan that
under court ruling they had no con-
stitutional rights so long as they were
iiremen The objection of the Mayor
and the commissioner that the men
were soliciting ads was met with the
assertion that paid solicitors had been
obtained for this work.
Strike Shout Raised
The protests rose to climax when
man in the audience shouted. Lets
go out on strike" Guinness, who pre-
sided, cautioned the members to keep
cool. He pointed out that they are
strictly forbidden by the rules to
strike, and that they could only re-
sign from the service after five days
notice. Whest the question Of a walk
out was finally put to the body it was
turned down
Groups of individuals. however,
gathered outside the room following
the meeting and movement for con-
certed who lesale designations from the
department was discussed. 1t was
learned that secret meetings will
shortly be held. and while formally no
walkcut vii be ordered, it is possible
the city viii face wholesale descrtions
from the service.
Fire Commissioner brennan was not
exercised over the action Of the fire
men.

Those Who Ride Satisfied
With Way the Strike Ended
But Majority of Them Say They See No Excuse for
Scent Fare; One Says Fnterborougl, Had Fat
Years and Now Should Accept the Lean as Well

The man who rides is we'll satisfied
with the strike settlement, but he is
ready to make vigorous protest if the
car mems increased pay must come out
of his pocket in.the form Of an eight
cent fare. a
None of the g1bway passengers IN
terviewe3 had any suggestion to offer
as to where the additional money re
Quired to pay the increased wages
should come from. Many agreed. how
ever, that five cents was a proper fare.
Here are some of the views ex-

won out They earn the money and
should have. it. It's going to help
boost the cost of living, however, and I
am sure some action should be taken
somewhere to equalize things for the
unorganized middle class.
George T. Lewis. tailor, 25dS Broad
way think the strcctcar men got no
more than they deserved. But the In
tcrborough should not be permitted to
increase fares. The public cannot af-
ford to meet any more increased prices

tion, for instance.

T. J. Kelly, architect, of 1872 Morris
Park Avenuc--We are all glad the
strike is over. The men were entitled
to raise. Motormen earning SA to So
must have a job trying to keep their

not believe fares should be increased.

Eugene Won Bach, Of 3136 Broad

believe the new scale is ample for a

cannot meet the increased cost Of oper-

fares must be increased.

mon are dissatisfied with what they
earn, and many claim they find it i'm
possible to live on present wages. OF
course living wage must be paid,
and living conditions must not be
lowered. If street car lines cannot
make ends meet on a nickel fare it is
obvious that the fare must be in
creased.
Harry FeIdman, of 1894 Bay Ninth

the strike settlement, but | do not see

not being called in for the settlement.
He did the best he could.

They deserved it. But there should
not be an cent fare. The company
makes enough with the nickel rate.

whole thing was smoothed over so

BABY DEATH RATE
HIGH IN! DULUTH?
Birth Control League Puts City
in List Of Sixty-Five
American Towns.

According to the National Birth
Control League it is three times az
safe to be a, soldier in the trenches as
it is to be an American baby in a
cradle. The casualties in the allied
armies were four in a hundred while
the baby deaths in this country are
over twelve in a hundred.
The league holds that the United
States is wasting babies at a greater
rate than European countries. Hol-
land loses only seven babies in hun
dred and New Zealand only five.
In the United States where over
twelve out of every hundred babies
die, there are only five cities with a
death rate as low as that Of New
Zealand, and there are IS cities where
the rate is from 100 to 100 per 1000.
Strange to say the fair city of Duluth
is one of the IS cities, and it is the
only such-city in Minnesota.
Detroit, Saginaw and Grand Rap
ids, Michigan; Superior, Green Bay
and Racine. Wisconsin are among the
IS cities which have high baby death
rates in neighboring states

NORTHERN PACIFIC CUTS :
COMMON lABORERS' WAGES

The first known attempt to cut
wages took place in the Northern Pa
cific yards this week. when men en-
ployed in unloading coal and sand
at the round house were reduced
from $3.50 to $500 a day. Many Of
the men quit rather than accept the
reduction.
It is said that when the official Of
the road in charge who notified the
men of the reduction in wages was
reminded that the cost of living was
as high as during the war. he replied:
Prices will never come down until
wages comes down." However, the
railroads are still enjoying the high
rates recently given them by the gov
eminent. The case Of these, men will

GOVERNOR BURkQU|ST
HAS CHANGE OF HEART

Governor Burnquist has experienced
a change of heart since two years
ago. Among the first bills passed by
the legislature was one from the
House appropriations committee to
cover a deficiency of $1,070,00O in pay
ment of state aid to schools. The
legislature did not. lose minute in
taking advantage Of the Governors
reputation of his economy flight Of
two years ago.
In this connection the wolf bounty
bill might be mentioned which the
governor likewise vetoed two years
ago. A measure appropriating $4,000
with which to pay wolf bounties be-
tween January 1 and August 1 of the
present fiscal year is said to have his

Joel Lichten, Duluth Delegate,
Will Report to Trades
Assembly Tonight

Joel Lichten. the Duluth delegate
to the Mooney convention held in
Chicago last week, returned to the
city early this week and will present
his report of the conference to the
meeting of the Federated Trades as
sembly tonight.
Mr.. Lichten is very much pleased
with the action Of the convention,
ind while there was very much rad
ica1ism evident in the meeting it IVES
oure talk, for when the delegates
lnally got down to business real
constructive program was agreed
Upon.
The convention recommended to
organized labor throughout the cOun-
try that a referendum vote be taken
among the membership for general
strike in July. The radicals wanted
the strike to be called in May, but it
was felt that the membership should
have a chance to vote on the propo-
sition, and this democratic program
was agreed upon. "
OF course the committee appointed
by the convention will use every hon.
orable method to obtain MONEYS re-
lease between now and July or new
trial for him. Should they fail Mr..
Lichten believes general strike will

would HAVE PEOPLE own
STREET RAILWAY SYSTEM

Every shopman employed at the Du
luth, Winnipeg & Pacific shops in
West Duluth this week signed a peti.
ton to the city commissioners en-
dorsing the recommendation of Mayor
Magney and requesting the city to
take steps at once to acquire the
property of the Duluth Street Rail-
way company. Other employees about
the yards and many engine employees
also signed the petition.
The appeal to the council sets forth
that workingmen have been put to
much inconvenience because of the
poor service rendered by the present
owners and it is contended that city
ownership and management could not
be any worse. In any event the sys-
tenn would be run for service rather
than for profit

Dishonest Rich Escape Income
Tax and Reap Rich Harvest
By Fraud.

NEW YORK, Jan. 23.-In a report
on causes that have led to the price
decline of liberty bonds, Assistant Dis
trict"Attorney Brogan shows how rich
men escape the income tax and at the
QSnoIql 'ls9A1pQ qo!I dg91 9ru!l cures
fictitious selling of liberty bonds.
The official states that in many in
stances heavy investors in liberty
bonds gave their brokers a selling
order for anywhere from 100000 to
81, 500, 900 worth of these bonds at the
same time putting in an order to buy
the same amount at the market price,
thus establishing fictitious loss to
report on their income tax returns
The same method has been followed
with other securities and probably
with their own business enterprises it
is stated. The government will lose
millions of dollars income tax.
