mer on charge of conspiracy to en-
courage disloyalty during the war.

COMMUNISM WAS TRIED
BY PILGRIMS IN 1921

The New York papers have just
discovered that the first League of
Nations was formed between the In
dams and the Pilgrims, in Mass, in
1921. They have overlooked how
ever, the first American experime mt
In socialism which was tried at that
time also.
At first the Pilgrims had a "com-
mon house," where their goods were
stored and where some of them had
quarters.
A little row of log cabins was built
as soon as possible and for a long
while the tilling of the fields was
done in common, and the women did
the homework not merely for their
own relatives but on common plan.
The thing didn't work.

Only Charter Member Of Painters
Union Still Active at His Trade

OF the men who joined Duluth
Painters union No. 106 when it was
organized in 1898 but one remains an
active member. He is Martin Oiseth
Of 1904 East Seventh street. He is
63 years Of age and still works at his
trade. He declares he can hold his
own with any of the younger paint
ers working at his side.
The first painters union was organ
lied in Duluth about 1889. 1t dis
banded during the panic of 1898 and
no attempt at organization was again
made until 1898 when a charter was
issued by the Brotherhood Of Paint
ers and Decorators to Duluth union,
No. 106. This was at a time when the
national organization was divided into
two factions, and two sets Of internal
tional officers, each struggling for SUI
premacy. They later got together and
peace and harmony has since reigned
in the union.
A number Of the charter members
of Local No. LOG still reside in Duluth
and among them are several we'll
known master painters. Martin Oh
seth is the only one of that honored
list who is still working as Journey
man painter and who still holds ac-
tive membership in the union.
Mr.. Oiseth was born in Norway. He
went to sea at an early age and fol-
lowed the mast. He quickly rose from
ordinary seaman to mate, then to cap
tain and was given full command Of a
ship. He came to Duluth in 1892 and
%11 ~ H..
into the. contracting business. He. was
a victim of the panic of 1898 and was
obliged to give up his businesses and
accept work by the day.
Wages had fallen to such low ebb
that painters in 1898 were not earn
ing more than unskilled laborers. So
when a call was sent out for a mass
meeting of painters Mr.. Oiseth was
one Of the first to respond. He was
elected financial secretary and held
the position for seven years there
after.
Mr.. Disc tn has remained member
of the union ever since. While he
still works at his trade he is exempt
from paying dues, but is entitled to
all the benefits of a dues-paying
member. A provision in the union
constitution exempts all members
from dues who have been in good
standing in the organization for 20
years and shall have reached the age
of 60.
Every Duluth painter honors and
respects Martin Oiseth, not only for
the great service he had rendered his
fellows in the union, but for his true
worth and high character.

UNION LABEL IS STRICTLY
AMERICAN IN ITS ORIGIN

The. union label or union stamp is
strictly American in its origin. 1t was
born in the city of San Francisco,
CAL, in the year 1874, and to the CT
garmakers belong the credit for first
having used the label successfully.
During sand lot agitation for
Chinese exclusion in San Francisco, a
manufacturer Of cigars attempted to
employ Chinese labor. The trades
unionis;s waged determined and in
telligent resistance, and assured of
public patronage the question arose
as to how the consumer might dis
criminals between the union-made
cigar and the rat shop" filthy-made
coolie product.
At first white label was used,
placed upon all boxes of cigars made
by white men, signifying that those
boxes of cigars bearing the white
label were made by white men as
against the yellow of the Orient.
In the following year, during a
strike Of c;garmakers in st. Louis. a
label was printed in red ink, and at
their next convention, held in Chi
cago in the year 1880, the reds and
whites became embroiled in a con-
troversy as to whether they should
adopt the white label or the red la
bel as their universal label, when, as
the story goes, one Of their ready
witted delegates arose and shouted:
MIR. Chairman, what's the. use of
squabbling over the color Of the la
bel? Let's take the other color Of the
flag, and adopt a. blue label" And
that's the way the blue label Of the
cigarmakers was given birth.

By BRUCE BARTON.

One question always interests me
when I am reading about any par
ticular period in history:
"Was the average man or woman
Of that period happier or less happy
than the average man or woman of
today?"
1.-The world is getting fuller Of So
called comforts all the time, but is
1t getting fuller of happiness?"
do not know that there is any
sure way of answering that question.
Historians have differed also on it.
Froude, who wrote the great his
tory of Henry VIII, had an idea that
men were about as happy in Henrys
day as they had ever been before,
and better off than they have ever
been since.
Everybody was poor, to be sure.
as compared with now. But every
man had his own home, and his
grounds. Pleasures were simple, but
were open to all alike, and no one
Lived in fear or want.
Emerson raised the same question:
When ArkWright came out of his
cellar in England with the model Of
the spinning jenny in his hands,
there were 5000 skilled spinners in
England, he tells us. -.
And 100000 Englishmen owned
land.
Fifty years later there we're ma
chimes that could do the work Of
100000 spinners.
And the number of landowners had
shrunk from 100000 to $4,000!
The machine had increased pro-
duction, but it had decreased the
number of those who lived free, in
dependent, self-confident lives.

adopting a label of their craft, and
in the year 1885 the hatter's label ap-
peared, the following year the gar

Special Representative Tells
Why 1t Has Become Most
Talked of Medicine in the
World Today.
NO GREAT MYSTERY
ABOUT IT, HE SAYS
Merit Alone Has Confirmed
1t in the Minds of the PeO-
pie All Over the American
Continent.

Z. r. Hopkins, special representa-

lac, the medicine that has created
such a sensation 81 over the United
States and Canada, gives some highly
interesting facts about Tanlac and
the remarkable results achieved by it.
Contrary to popular opinion" he
stated, "there is no great mystery
about Tanlac. except in so far as the
chemistry of the human body itself
and what it does with substances
taken into it, is a mystery. Some of
the ingredients of Tanlac have been
known and used as medicine for CEN
turies. Others are of more recent
discovery, but every one of them is of
recognized therapeutic value and used
by the medical profession everywhere.
Tanlac is simply co-mingling OF
these medicinal elements in way
hitherto unknown and which brings
out their curative and reconstructive
powers to most remarkable degree.
Briefly it allays irritation of the STAN
ach. Strengthens the digestive and as
similative organs, builds up and re-
