DULUTH PAINTERS FORCED TO STRIKE:
MASTERS REJECT ARBITRATION OFFER
Together
Wage Be Arbrated ~

The members of Duluth Painters
union, No. 106, will go on strike
this morning, Friday, for an in
crease in wages and the recognition
of several important trade, rules.
The wage demand is for a minimum
of 90 cents an hour, similar to that
now being paid by the Real Estate
exchange to union painters in Su-
perior.
The union first presented it's de-
mands to the master painters early in
January. A number of conferences
have been held and it was thought
for a time that both sides would get
together. Nearly all of the proposed
shop rules were conceded by the
bosses, and a small increase in wages
was offered, but this was not salts
factory to the men. It was proposed
to submit the points over which they
differed to arbitration. The union
agreed, but the bosses insisted that
everything should be arbitrated. not
only the points upon which they could
not agree, but the points they had
agreed upon. The union. held this to
be unfair and refused.
Hoped for Peace.
The strike was to have been called
on April 1, but the union waited in
the hope that settlement could be
affected before going on strike. We'd
nesday it became apparent that no
agreement could be reached and yes
terday the committee in charge, acting
upon instructions previously given by
the union, ordered the strike to be-
come effective Friday morning at 8
O'Clock. The members of the union
will report at Browns hail at 9 u. m.

History of the Case.
A statement Of the unions position
has been prepared by the executive
committee. It states "that in April,
1917, the union entered into an agree
ment with the master painters. the
terms of which provided for a mini
mum wage scale Of 55 cents per hour
until Sept. /. 1917. 571k cents to April
list, 1913. and so cents per hour to
March 81, 1919. These wage scales
were agreed to before the United
States went to war with Germany, al
though they did not become effective
until after war was declared.
Immediately after the declaration
of war;" says the. statement, "the cost
Of living increased SO per cent. while
our wages advanced but trifle over
8 per. cent. But we had made an
agreement and it was our duty to
stand by it. which we did to the letter.
During 1913 the cost of living jumped
an additional "a per cent, while our
wages increased but {. little more than
4 per cent. Still we stood by our
agreement, remained true and loyal
to our country, and proved to the
people that our contract was more

could be no possible result except
that prices should go up like a
balloon. They always do in such
conditions. Some American visitors
seemed to think that economic law
should reverse itself for the bene-
fit and arrange matters so that cur
rency initiation should mean lower
instead of higher prices. Perhaps
some Of us are Of such merit as to
deserve even this phenomenon, but
so far there is no instance of it in
human affairs. and the French can
hardly be blamed for not having
achieved it.
why prices in France were irresis-
tibly driven up without the will of
anybody. It lay in fact Of which
little was said and yet which should
have been apparent to anybody that
would look around.
Her coal fields are in her northern
provinces. At almost the outset of
the war these provinces fell into
German hands and about seven
eighths of her coal mines with them.
The Germans held these mines con-
tinuously until almost the end Of the
war.
When they were driven away they
flooded all the mines, wrecked or
removed all the mine machinery and
destroyed the. engines.
, None of those mines will be able
to produce a pound Of coal for two
years and some not for five.

February an increase of 10 cents an

less than II per cent, and they in

to their proposition and to other mat

The war smote her productivity a

Before the war she used to mine
her great factories.
Peace time industries in central
and southern France, struggling to
get upon their feet again, are being
