Canadian Pacific Ocean Services have
carried 1,041.0o0 troops and passen-
gers all over the world. embracing all
ports in China and Japan, Signapare,

all ports In the Mediterranean, Colon

the West Coast Of North and South
America, and the United States and

troops carried caused by enemy action
and irrespective of disease has been
eight in number. The Canadian Pa

On one continuous voyage one Of
the company's vessels steamed 2s,441
miles. Over 100000 tons Of cargo
and munitions of war have ben car

'AUToCRACY'S TWIN BROTHER

A real danger exists, says Charles
Edward Russell, that Bolshevism will
spread to the United States. It is not
a danger Of revolution or anarchy, Of
attempts actually to overthrow the
government, Of permanent upheaval -
Mr.. Russell, who is a searching student
Of social affairs in all countries as we'll
as in Russia and in America, can see
no such probability here in the threat
of events abroad. But it is peril OF
the adoption by some American work
ingmen Of Bolshevist philosophy, the
danger Of the infiltration of Bolshevist
ideas. And that, he adds emphaticallH,
would not only result in labor disturb.
ances; it would be calamity for the
workingmen themselves as well as for
the country as whole.
For Bolshevism offers no possibility
of advance for labor. It offers no pos
sibility cf advance for any one, Of prog
ress Of any kind. Mr.. Russell calls it
"autocracy's twin brocner,' and while
he points out the undeniable allurement
that it may have for minds already dis
contented, he explains at the same time
it's complete fallaciousness, it's denial Of.
democracy and its failure to ''work.''

STRIKING FIGURES on
HIGH COST OF LIVING

The price Of food has increased 50
per cent from 1913 to November. last
year, reports the national industrial
conference board in a pamphlet en-.
titled "War Time Changes in the Cost
of Living" published in Boston. The
noard represents score Of manufac-
turers' associations.
The board states that during the
war clothing has increased u per cent
and woolens 100 per cent. In cottons
percale showed the most striking av-
erage increase, 264.4 per cent. Over
alls at IS cents in 1914 averaged 81 II
in November, 1918. and mems shoes
that sold for $3.50 in 1914 cost s. and
IS in November, 1918.
The board has prepared clothing
budget for men and WOmen-Wage
earners, of course-as no attempt is
made to tabulate the needs of other
classes.
In 1914 the cost of the mans budget
would be $58.70. and in 1918 this in
| creased to $11.70, or 90.3 per cent.
In 1914 the cost of the woman's
budget would be S5S.15, and in 1918
, this cost increased to $100.40, or S8.1
per cent.
Anthracite coal advanced 43.9 per
cent between 1914 and 1918, and BIZ
luminous coal for household use in
creased So 5 per cent
The advances in the cost of various
items in the family budget were:
Food, SO per cent; shelter, 20 per c. IT.;
| clothing. SO per cent, sundries, 55 per
cent. The average increase for all
items is $50 per cent.
While workers will insist that these
estimates are too low, the figures in
dicate the reduced purchasing power

war.

COMMISSIONER MURNIAN.

Ladies and Gentlemen, we have the
exceeding pleasure this week Of intro-
ducing to you Mr.. William y. Murniau,
president Of the Federated Trades AS
sembly and vice president Of the Min
ncsota State Federation Of Labor, who
was on Tuesday last elected commits
sioner Of the city of Duluth on a strictly
labor platform, making campaign for
the office as a union labor man without
any apologies to any one.
The election Of Mr.. Murnan was Il
decided victory for organized labor. For
the first time labor showed solidarity
it never before possessed. Labor was
III earnest and it lined up behind its
candidate in manner that could spell
nothing but success. Mr.. Murnian 8
election should be a warning to those
interests in Duluth that are debating to
small employers as to the amount of
wages they should pay to union men,
and that are subtly working against
the union shop.
Labor is coming into it's own. We
have only started. Our candidate is Of
the kind that makes good. His admin
istration, we are morally certain, will
be SO successful that there will be little
trouble in clecting other worthy work
ingmen in the future. And we are not
only interested in showing how we can
govern, but we want an era Of industrial
peace i'll Duluth. We want the obsti-
nate opponents of union labor to come
in out Of the wet. We are ready to get
together with them and to agree upon
basis for working together. It. is up
t them. We have the disposition. Will
they help us to head off Bolshevism in
any form here?
Already the smart fellows are at work
in an attempt to sidetrack Mr.. Murnian.
They don't want him as commissioner
OF public safety. He was elected to-
fill that position. It was fight between
him and Hicken. Murnian won and he
is entitled to such assignment. Labor
ran bank on Farrell, Phillips and Mayor
Magneyy, and perhaps on Commissioner
Eoss. 1t must be Murnian for the pub
lie safety commissioner and no ether.
Mr.. Murnian ran for office as labo-
candidate. He will administer his office
as 4 servant of i'll the people. He can
be trusted.

VIGIlANT EMPl
Want FACTS IGNORED

The vigilance of employers in pro-
tecting their interests through the
control of education is shown by a
protest against pamphlets on social
questions issued by the United States
bureau OF education for use in tho
public schools
The protest is made by the national
industrial conference board, repre-
senting 20 associations of manufac-
turers.
The employers charge the govern
ment with conducting a. propaganda
in favor Of trade unionism and say
that thread of prejudice against the
employer runs through many of the
lessons.
One of the pamphlets state that
lin the United States somebody is in
jured while at work every IS seconds
and somebody is killed every IS min
utes. We cannot wonder at this when
we realize how many dangers there
are in modern industry"
The employers accept this statement
at it's face value and show that on the
basis of 54-hour week "this means q
total Of 1880 deaths in industry per
year,
While the employers express regret
at this condition, they insist that this
destruction of life is incidental to the
millions Of workers employed.
1t is clearly the purpose of the bu-
reau of education to impress upon
children the horror of killing workers
In Industry. This is in line with a
recent declaration by Investigators of
the department Of labor that these ac-
cidents are avoidable if the employer
is willing to spend the money.
The national industrial conference
board, however, wants this situation
smoothed over by showing the chill
dren that the percentage of killings is
really minor matter when the total
number of wage workers in this coun-
try are considered.
TO the employers, the annual loss
to this country Of II regiments of
workers, in the full strength of their
manhood, is Of small Importance to
Americas school children, who will
eventually find their way into indus
try or related activities, and assume
their duties as citizens.

VOTERS WE'RE MISLED,

The voters turned down municipa.
ownership at Tuesday, s election. There
was no one to make fight for the pur-
chase of the street railway system but
Mayor Magney and The Labor World.
We put up as good a fight as we knew
how with our limited means. The op.
position was too strong and it won, for
the time being at least.
But it will be all empty victory. The
private company cannot continue with
out an increase in fares, not unless
wages and prices come down. There is
no immediate sign of either happening.
So the only thing left for the company
is to be given the right to charge six
cents instead Of five cents for carving
passengers.
The Duluth Street Railway company
is so heavily capitalized and bonded
that it cannot pay interest and divi-
dends unless it's income is increased.
We expect it will now insist upon the
council giving it the right to charge
at least six cents for fare. If the i'll
crease is not granted it must either coz
tinue as an Improbable concern Of it
will be forced into bankruptcy.
Much was said during the campaign
about the "old cars' and the sworn.
out system,' and also about the charge
Of Is cents to Superior if the city took
over the property. This frightened the
timid voters, but there was absolutely
nothing to it. The system is not worn
out. It is up to date. The cars aro in
good condition, and there would not
be an additional charge to Superior, for
the city can make any arrangement
private corporation can make. IF it be.
came necessary we could insist that
Congress take the toll off of the Du-
luth- Superior bridge.
