PARIS. Feb. 2s-The work OF drafting
the preliminary terms OF peace through
the armistice conditions Is making rapid
progress. When President Wilson re-
turns he will md the terms settled. In
deed. the somewhat optimistic view ia
put through In a fortnight.
There still are one or two points OF
Importance to be settled even in military
and naval terms. and It Is clear that the
fixing OF Germany's eastern frontiers ID
a matter which cannot easily be accom-
plished In the absence OF any definite in
formation or any definite policy with re-
gard to Germany. This point has become
clear In the discussions on the future OF
Poland. and In arranging for the des-
patch OF Gen. Haller's Poli>Sl divisions
from France to Poland.
Naval Terms Nearly Ready.
The naval terms have been agreed
upon with one important exception. The
French Ministry Of Marine reserves &C
ceptance of the principle that war ves-
sells surrendered by Germany are to be
destroyed. The argument Of the French
Is that during the war their fleet has
suffered losses which. owing 70, the army
requirements Of France. her workshops
and yards have been unable to make
good. 1t is certain that on this point
some agreement will be reached which
will recognize the special position Of
France and at the same time prevent the
allied naval triumph from increasing the
burden OF naval armaments by dis
tributing among them German ships, the
upkeep OF which in money and men
would be a heavy addition to the naval
estimates OF all countries, and perpetuate
instead OF diminish the naval armaments
OF The world.
same for All Enemies.
Bearing in mind this important French
reservation, II is possible to indicate the
general scope OF the naval terms of the
preliminary peace The terms are
practically the same for Germany. Aus
tria. Turkey and Bulgaria, and provide
for the complete disarmament OF the en-
envy.
All German submarines, submarine
salvage vessels. docks for submarines
and the Kiel tubular dock are to be
surrendered. destroyed or broken up
within a fortnight
Similar construction now building is
to be destroyed within three months
after the signature Of the preliminary
peace. Material derived from the break

purposes.
The internment of German war vessels

! A tsNow or Never Situation.
Because it is now or never, this
scheme or none, There is not time to
be swapping jack knives. The pa

If it slips there know places in Eu-

The whole situation therefore
rests with us: just as the ending of
the; war rested with us and the pre-
serving OF democracy rested with us.
Two chief things are demanded of. us:
that we shall show Enthusiastically
where we stand on the league Of ma
tions, and: that we shall deny ourselves
somewhat to feed starving Europe. y
Feed it on a, business where there
is ready money to do business or

ing duty to mankind; in those broken

neither money nor hope.

reinstated to their former positions
by Wednesday, May 6, the assembly
would request the Unions to take a
vote on a general strike to be held
June I.
1t developed during the discussion
that men discharged by the Duluth
Show Case company were being
blacklisted. One after the other
arose in the meeting and told his
story. They all found opportunities
for work at other plants, but when
they told foremen Of the plants at
which they were seeking employ
ment that they had recently been
employed at the Duluth Show Case
company, they were refused employ
ment.
The action of the Duluth Show
Case company is bringing about the
most serious industrial crisis this
city ever faced: Conservative union

about it that the producers have and
they don't have the same feeling about
the system that made it.
Therefore the well-to-do generally
feel that there is plenty of time for
the league of nations or any other
old thing. and the producers get more
impatient every minute as gray fam
inc treading on their heels gets
closer.
If they are going to starve they
want something to starve for or, be-
lieve me, they will not starve long,
The worst Of this thing is that at
the time when the safety of the
world may depend upon some such
action as the adoption of the league
of nations various high places are out
with stilettoes to do it to death.
There is far more opposition to the
league Of nations than appears on the
surface. To a proposal of such a ma
ture public man could not very
well stand in open opposition, any,
way. He would be obliged to give it
the appearance of support. The trou-
bic is that influences in Europe. that
pretend to support this plan are Sc
cretly hoping to see it get the cold

About all that can be said now is
that there are in Europe distinct and

not those that have talked in favor

REFUSE PENSION
TO AGED JUDGES
Wisconsin Senate Turns Down
Bill plea Made for Under
paid State Employees.

MADISON, Wis. May 2.-7By a four
to one vote. the state senate defeated
a bill to give a pension Of $500 a.
year to justices of the state supreme
court after 20 years service when
they are 65 years old. In opposing
the measure Senator Huber referred
to attendants at state institutions who
are paid $40 a month while supreme
court Justices receive $7,500na year.
1T am opposed to- this bill,' he
said, because it proposes to pension
the highest salaried officers of the
state. If a pension system is to be
adopted, want to commence at the
other end of the line; in other words
want to provide first for the men
and women in the service of the state
who are being very much underpaid.
II would like to have some of you

supporting this bill. to visit some of

The producers Of Europe are solidly

Atlantic City central labor union be-
cause it violated a pledge that it
would no longer be connected with a
plan that used the name of the A. F.

Spencer of the building trades depart
ment A. F. of l.. has recalled the
charter Of the Atlantic City building

Several weeks ago Atlantic City
trade unionists signed contract with
promoters and business men every
where were asked for funds. Even the
Island of Hawaii, in the Pacific ocean,
was not overlooked in a plea for funds
that involved the A. F. of l.. Pro-
tests were made by A. F. of L. officials
and as a result of visit by Secretary
Morrison to Atlantic City the central
body agreed to withdraw from the
contract and permit the A. F. of l..
official, to name a person who would
take charge of all funds received
and return same to the donors. The
mayor Of Atlantic City was desig-
mated and then the central labor
union rescinded its action and con-

Largest Meeting Of Central Labor Body Ever Held Declares for
General Strike in June Unless Show Case Company Rein
states Every Man Discharged for Being Union Member

Organized labor in Duluth means
business. At one of the largest meet
ings Of the Federated Trades assem-
bly, ever held, the delegates voted
Wednesday evening to stand squarelv
behind the Cabinet and Millmen's
union. And if need be a strike vote
will be taken of the unions for a
general strike in Duluth June /, un-
less the Duluth Show Case company
takes back every man discharged be-
cause of his membership in the
union.
1t was a special meeting called
Tor the purpose of taking prompt
action in the millmen's case. Every
union was fully represented. Presi-
dent Murnian presided. Every vote
taken was unanimous, although the
discussion at times was warm, but
not heated. The most conservative
delegates stood for the flrmest action.
John A. johnson, delegate from
the Cabinet akers and Millmen's
union, told the story in honest and
simple language. It was exactly as
is printed on another page of ta;s
paper. He stated that the union had
sent a proposition to the ten en-
ployers in the city asking for a con.
ference. They did not expect to
press their demands, but to attem pt

GENERAL STRIKE IS CALLED OF
SUPERIOR BUILDING TRADESMEN
Five Hundred Men Are Out and Others win Join Friday After the
Arrival Of International ffces In Every Instance Unions
Are Seeking An Increase in Wages.

Superior is in the midst Of a gen.
eral building trades strikes. Every
building trades union in the city re-
sponded to the strike call Thursday
morning. Negotiations have been on
for several weeks in the hopes Of
bringing about a settlement. In some
money, but the unions do not believe
they have conceded as much as they
should, considering the present high
cost of living.
The carpenters are asking for an in
crease from, 70 to IS cents an hour.
The plumbers want an increase from
S712 cents to 81 an hour. The electri-
cal workers demand a raise from 70
to S7k cents; the sheet metal work.
ers from Is to 30 cents: the brick
layers from 80 cents to 81: the plast-
erers FROM IS to 80 cents. The lathers
have been conceded a proportionate
increase on piece work. On day work
they will receive Is cents an hour.
The painters went out several weeks
ago for 30 cents an hour. The con-
tractors refused to meet their de-
mands, but real estate. agents and
others are employing all the painters
they can get at the new union scale.
Employers of bricklayers have con-
ceded 81 an hour on account Of like
wage being paid in Duluth. Some of
the contracting plasterers have con-
ceded to the union and are now pay
ing the new scale of 80 cents an hour.
The building industry is beginning
to flourish in Superior and nearly
every building tradesman was work.
