The National, Iron Works and the
local Molders' union have como to
an agreement. After considerable
elaboration and several conferences
minor points were cleared. up and
the members Of the union returned
to the work they left several weeks

molders will receive minimum of
80 cents an hour with. the eight

overtime and double time for, Sum
days and legal holidays. All Of the
points contended for. by the union
when the molders.. went on strike
were conceded by the National. . e,
H. r. Armstrong. and Walter M.
Evered represented the NATIONAL in
the negotiations, and Patrick Brady,

by Messrs. Armstrong and Evered.:: ;:

Strike reakers are at work, men
sent here by the National Metal
Trades association, but 1t is said in
union circles that the Clyde will feel
the effect of the strike more from
now on than it has in the past. Eco
nomic pressure will be brought to
bear in the various lumber camps of
the south, west and in foreign coun-
tries where the Clyde goods are mar
keted.
The molders have conducted a
clean strike, free from radicalism
and disorder. No molder has been
arrested for violating the law. The
members of the union are being con-
graduated by organized labor on ac-
count of having secured the eight
hour day, the chief point at issue.

It took the Federated Trades as
sembly nearly four hours to trans

There was a lot of it and the dele

President William F. Murnian pre-
sided, and while til e debate at times
was. noisy and exciting, he managed
to keep decorum and good order. =.
Several new delegates were seated:
A committee consisting Of E. Munke-
hy, H. L. Moran and c. Goldsmith
was appointed to visit the. hardware
dealers of the city and urge them
to cease selling >non-union stoves

concerns IN: Detroit. The firms are
the Michigan Stove Company, the
Peninsuiar Stove company and the
Detroit Stove Works. These firms
are at cuts with the Stove Mount

fused to arbitrate the difference ex-

! which. all Of the organizations in
the A. F. of L. would be united into

| would revolutionize the American

The majority report of the COM

The minority report, signed by Dele

bly, go on record in favor of the
plan. After prolonged discussion the
matter vas referred back to the

members try to. get together on a.

FORMER DULUTH
Man APPOINTED
s. s. Mcdonald Is Selected by
Governor Frazer as Member
Of State Insurance Board.

S. S. Mcdonald, president of the
North Dakota State Federation of La
Dor, has been appointed by Governor
Frazier as a member to the working
mems compensation board Of that
state to administer the state insur-
ance fund.
Mr.. Mcdonald is now residing at
Grand Forks. He began his career in
the labor movement in Duluth, hay
ing made his residence here for a
number of years. He began work in
this city as machinist and was en-
ployed at the NATIONAL Iron Works.
He later became a linotype machinist
and was employed at various times on
both Duluth daily papers.
He took an active interest in local
labor circles. served as president of
the Federated Trades Assembly and
as vice president of the Minnesota
State Federation of Labor from the
Eighth Congressional district. He left
Duluth several years ago to accept a.
position on a Grand Forks paper.
The newspapers of North Dakota
speak highly of Mr.. McDonald's ap-
pointment. The Bismark Palladium
editorially comments on it as follows:
THE appointment of S. S. McDon-
aid, of Grand forks. as a member Of
the workmen's compensation board,
will meet with the approval Of organ
lied labor all over the state. Mr.. Nc
Donald is president of the North Da-
kota State Federation of Labor. which
office he has filled with credit to him.
self and labor for number of years.
and he has seen the federation grow
from a mere handful to a big organi-
cation.
mo one has ever questioned where
Mr.. Mcdonald stood on matters per-
tanning to unionsim. and he has sac
rificed more than any man in the
northwest in an effort to improve the
! working conditions of laboring men
and women. It was Mr.. Mcdonald
| who started the agitation for the pro-
gram of labor legislation which was
! recently enacted in this state, and he
is probably better posted on the COM
| pensation law than any other man in
! the state of North Dakota.
"Mr. Mcdonald is member of the
| Typogra phical union Of Grand Forks
| where he has been employed for sew.
| eral years. Labor unions in that city
have flourished under his leadership
anu he recently assisted in tho organ
! ization of 10 new union, which

not the best organized city in the
state.
