number of ideas about proper enter

BRAN new stories he bagged in the
backwoods of Carlton county where

LABOR JOURNAL TELLS
HOW To BREAK UNIONS

The Leather Workers Journal
quotes leather manufacturer, who
declared. mo employer can break a
labor union. yet labor unions have
Teen broken"
This employer, says the Leather
Workers Journal. had in mind, of
course, a. labor union true to principle,
which could not be broken by the en-
p!oyer, and the ones which have been
broken were those which were only
union in name., and broken from
within through jealousy, neglect and
inefficiency."
This labor paper urges untonists to
prepare for days that will come as a
result Of reduced prices of commod-
tiles, followed by a demand for lower
wage scales. It is declared that this
is not a prophecy or forecast, but is
simply an inevitable law" and that
contraction of the national currency,
with a lowering of prices, will surely
follow. +
The Leather Workers Journal de-
clares that the only solution is a 100
per cent trade union, and to prepare
for the inevitable. the following sug-
gestions should be observed.
"Organize now to the fullest extent
possible; instruct all the members,
both new and old, as to the danger
ahead of them; attendance and inter-
est in the meetings Of the local union:
keep in close touch with the condi-
tons in the industry where you are
employed"

OPPOSED TO USE
OF |NJUNCT|0NS:
Union Labor Chiefs Take Firm
Stand Against Further En-
croachments By Courts.

WASHINGTON, Dec. rs. ~ The
abuse of the injunction writ is the
paramount issue that concerns the
people of this country, declared the
conference of executives Of national
and International trade unions and
railroad brotherhoods. held in this
city December 10.
Government by Injunction has
grown out of the perversion of the in
junction process" it was stated. by
the abuse Of that process workers have
been forbitten to do those things which
they have a natural and constitutional
right to do.
"The injunction as now used is q
revolutionary measure which substi-
tutes government. by judicial discre-
ton or bias for government by law. It
substitutes a trial by one, man, a
judge, in his discretion, for trial by
jury. This abuse of the Injunction
process undermines and destroys the
very foundations Of our free institu-
lions. It is subversive of the spirit of
free people working out their distiny
in an orderly and rational manner.
because we have reverence for
law, because we believe that every citi-
zen must be a guardian Of the heritage
given US by our fathers who fought for
and established freedom and democ
racy, by every lawful means we must
RESIST the establishment of a practice
that would destroy the very spirit o!
freedom and democracy.
''Our protest against the abuse thu
writ of injunction and its unwarrant
able application to labor in the exer
else Of labor's normal activities tt
realize laudable aspirations is a duty
we owe to ourselves and to posterity'

brotherhoods in the city affiliated with
the league. The action OF the conven-
ton then will be referred to the unions
and brotherhoods for approval by the
membership.
It is planned to have four candidates
for councilmen chosen from the ranks
of organized labor. j.. M. Clancy,
present councilman and former presi-
dent Of the st. Paul Trades and Labor
assembly, will be one of the four on
the labor ticket. A. e. Smith, a men,
Der Of the state executive committee
of the league, likely will be another.
II. c.. Vented, secretary of the st.
Paul Trades and Labor assembly, is
strongly favored for one of the places
election be brought a contest on the
labor ticket in 1913 for councilman,
being defeated by a close vote. After
election he brought contect on the
ground that there were frauds and
votes were improperly counted. The
frauds were proven and three men
now are serving prison sentences at
Saltwater for ballot-box stuffing,
while another is at liberty on bail
awaiting the supreme courts decision
trict court.
There is little doubt but that\ Mr..
Smith was elected and would now be
one of the councilmen in St. Paul If
there had been an honest campaign
and fair election. The fact that he
was cheated out Of election last year
has made the labor forces more deter
mined than ever to see that he gets a
square deal in the coming campaign.
The league already Is making ar
/ rangements to see that the ballot-box
stuffing of 1913 to prevent the election
of labor men to office will not be re-
| peated.
In addition to placing four union
men in the field as candidates for
! councilmen the league also proposes
| to indorse a strong progressive out
! side the labor ranks for mayor and
two candidates for the other places in
the council who are not affiliated with
organized labor.
Action along this line will not be
taken until after all candidates have
! been presented.
| The league will also be active in the
Minneapolis city campaign, which will
not come until the fall Of next year.
The strength Of the league in that city
was shown by the vote on the pro-
! posed street car franchise, which was
! opposed by the league and defeated by
majority Of 1000 votes.
Further, the league is to take part
in the state. congressional and legis-
lative campaigns.
! Organization work now is we'll un-
der way in all parts Of the state and
officials of the league are devoting a
considerable part Of their time to for
mulating campaign plans and other
wise getting ready for some Of the
liveliest political fights ever seen in
Minnesota.

IS The busiest week since it's oreaniza-e
tl6n Of meetings and general activity
has just been passed by the Minnesota
Working Peoples Nonpartisan Polit-
ical league.
Speakers addressed gatherings in
nearly every part of the state and
were enthusiastically received. A large
addition has been made in the men,
bership. The larger meetings were at
Albert Lea, Mankato, Moorhead, Fer
gus Falls. Alexandria and Glenwood.
Among the speakers were William
Mahoney, St. Paul. state president of
the league and also president of the
st. Paul Trades and Labor assembly;
Thomas Van Lear. former mayor Of
Minneapolis and secretary Of the state
league, and George w. Lawson, st.
Paul, secretary Of the Minnesota State
Federation Of Labor.
All these labor leaders have more
invitations to address meetings and
explain the work and purposes Of the
political league than it is possible for
them to fill.
Two other speakers spent all Of the
past week in northwestern Minnesota
addressing large meetings.
Branch state headquarters are now
open on the fourth floor Of the Dakota
building in st. Paul. Rooms formerly
occupied by the legislative bureau of
the railway shopmen have been turned
over to the league for the transaction
of it's growing business.
State headquarters in the Security
Bank building, Minneapolis, are one
Of the busiest centers in the state.
Hundreds Of inquiries daily are re-
ceived about the league and its work.
Many of these come from outside
states.
Encouraged by the overwhelming
victory won in the Minneapolis street
railway franchise fight, the league
officials now are concentrating their
main attention on the coming munic-
ipal campaign in st. Paul, when a
mayor, city comptroller and six coun-

Duluth Choral Society viii Give
messiah" Next Thursday;
Workers Should Attend,

The Duluth Choral society will pre-
sent the messiah" at the Armory on
Dec. 80. The Choral society has pre-
scented this oratorio for several sea-
sons but this time they hope to far
surpass anything that has previously
been attempted. -Four of the greatest
oratorio singers in the country will be
here to take the leading roles, Miss
Anna Murmeister soprano, Mrs. Rose
Lutiger Cannon, contralto, Arthur
Kraft, tenor and Gustav Holmquist,
basso. These celebrated artists have
sung in the messiah" in all of the
leading cities in the United States. In
addition, the Choral society is train
ing a chorus Of two hundred voices,
which will be the very largest chorus
which has ever been heard in Duluth.
Charles Helmer will be the conductor
and there is to bean orchestra of forty
pieces.
This is not a money-making prop
osition. It is civic undertaking on
the part Of the Choral society to give
the people the very best in music and
at a nominal price. The tickets are
81 each and it is earnestly hoped that
the production will be so we'll pat
ronized that the members of the So
ciety will feel encouraged to continue
this splendid work. The members Of
the chorus have been most faithful in
attending rehearsals and no effort has
been spared to make this presentation
of the messiah" compare very favor
ably with the productions Of it which
have been given in the big cities in
this country and in the musical centers
