The Duluth rip-saw. [volume] (Duluth, Minn.) 1917-19??, 1919-08-09

The reason for Supporters attitude
in its fight against the Pittsburgh
plus, in only asking for this section
Of tho country which it asks for all
other steel manufacturing centers. is
obvious.
Superior is on the level, you know,
But the attitude of the sister port
across the bay seems to be different.
maybe due to it's topography. Living
on hillside, it is hard to be ON the
level.
For this reason, the leading men
Of Duluth in opposition to the Pitts
burgh plus principle found it difficult
to follow the straight and narrow path,
and fell perhaps into the winding curve
Of the boulevard drive.
Perhaps it would be more polite to
say that the Duluth gentlemen con-
ceived tho idea Of pulling off q clever
stunt.
They succeeded-or thought they
did.
In reality, however, they only sue.
ceeded in putting themselves into q
disagreeable position, and they are now
trying to extricate themselves.
The whole affair leaked out when
the Duluthians tried to make fresh
start in the Pittsburgh plus matter
as il became necessary to explain to q
number of business men Of the Zenith
City the reason for trimming the sails
few months ago and now having ia
unfurl them again.
It may be inconsiderate to elaborate
on the cratic ways Of our sister port
but it is really too good story to
pass up. And as for Duluth, it may
do portion Of that community q 10!

of Bobby Burns in plain English, to

Illuminating Newspaper Tale. ~

raising a huge cry that was heard all
the way to Pittsburgh, where it was
needed by Judge E. L. Gary, chair
man of the board of directors Of United
States Steel corporation. No attention
at all had been paid to Superior, which
has no steel plant and is not located
in Minnesota.
Late in the year Of 1918, jollifi-
cation meeting was held by the Duluth
Commercial club, at which time the
members shook hands with themselves
and congratulated one another on the
fact that their Macedonian cry had
been needed, and that while the Pitts
burgh plus would not be settled i'm.
mediately, the Steel corporation was
going to erect four new steel plants
at Morgan Park, costing an aggregate
of 5000, 900 and furnish employment
for some 1900 men.
The Duluthians Toasted on the fat
ted calf and made merry.
And now comes the rude awakening.
No move has been made to fulfill the
promise. And letters reminding Judge
Gary of his pledge have remained un-
answered.
As a result Duluth wants to join the
Anti. Pittsburgh Plus club again.
An Imaginary Scene.
Suppose we just imagine a scene in
Judge Gary's private office an hour
before the pledge was given to Du-
luth's representative. The complacent
Judge is seated at his desk and sec.
rotary and adviser is standing at
tentively opposite the big steel mag
nate.

to register further protests against the

reports. -
"Those fellows are so loud that they
are getting on my nerves." Judge
Gary replies. 1T don It know what to

"Accidently I ran onto an idea q

teered. GAS your honor said, they
are getting too noisy for comfort, and
besides the Minnesota legislature is

 Together

There has been complete harmony agents for the suppression of illicit liquor traffic and the United States Marshars office in the work Of sup pressing bootlegging in Alaska, ac- cording to Gov. Thomas Riggs, Jr., and the secent seizure in Juneau were the result of that cooperation and the aid of the City Police De- partment.
 Special Agent Jack Mcdonald, Deputy Marshal c. H. Passels and Patrolman l.. J. Johnson worked in connection with the subchasers In making the seizures of the Rice cache and the Ferry Way cache.
 During the last year the fines col lected as result of the activity Of the special agents for the suppression of the liquor traffic has been greater than the total expenses, including salaries, for that branch of the ser. vice, said Gov. Riggs today.
 Not only have these Special Agents not had opposition from any other branch of government in Alaska, but hey have worked with and in coop eration of Deputy Marshals in all the Divisions of Alaska, including the First Division.
 The Court records will show that there have been many arrests by Deputy United States Marshals for illicit traffic in liquor in Alaska, will compare favorably with that in any section of the country, and the re suits have been more satisfactory here than in most places.
