contracts.
Within the past two weeks, Mr.
Briggs, president Of the Minneapolis
alliance, informed the writer that this
season they had made a. special effort
to induce their members to refuse,
under any circumstances. to have any
new construction work done, unless it
was done on the open-shop plan, and
he said they had been remarkably
successful in their efforts along this
line.
The Minneapolis alliance does not
confine its efforts to the building
trades, but it constantly and in almost
every letter it issues to it's members
urges them to support and give their
trade, in all lines to those who are
members of the alliance and who are
aiding in bringing about open-shop
conditions in the community.
Such a policy as this will encourage
others to come in and join the alli-
ance, and in this way strong, COM
pact organization for open-shop prin-
ciples will be built up.
IAN Eye for an Eye.'
The labor unions. as I have stated
above, have started out on a campaign
to fight the open shop and all of its
friends. The friends of the open shop
must, therefore, cooperate with each
other and aid and support eac other,
and. if they do not, the open-shop or
ganization will go down to defeat.
Minneapolis business men have
learned the value Of such spirit Of
cooperation, and, as result, have
built up wonderfully strong upen-
shop organization. Duluth business
l. en- must pursue the same source if
they expect to OBTAIN the same results.
In this connection, I give below the
names of certain concerns in lines of
retail trade who are members of the
alliance and who are giving their
moral and financial support, in the
endeavor to make Duluth an open
shop town. Other things being equal,
they are entitled to your support, as
against those who are not putting
forth any effort to bring about open
shop conditions, for open-shop condi-
tons, as is testified to by the business
means more for the upbuilding of
city, in both wealth and population,
than all other factors combined.
If there are any errors, or omis-
sions, in making up this list. they will
be corrected, upon receiving notice.

Bread Lines Are Remedy.
Corporation psychology is disclosed
by propaganda that is being circulated
by the Pennsylvania and other rail-
roads. Hundreds of thousands of
pamphlets have been placed in the
hands Of employees and others direct
ing attention to the increase of unem-
ployment and warning workers that
they soon will be in position where
they will be compelled to bow to the
dictation Of the bosses.
If this movement to restrict operat-
ing forces becomes general, the state
ment says, our economic ills will be
cured. Then "the worlds woes will
take wing" All that is required to re.
store peace and prosperity is to crowd
the bread lines with hungry workers.

Sees Hopeless Situation
in Ireland if British
Do Not Negotiate Now
By the Associated Press.

HOUGH GREEN, Lancashire England
December 9.-Arthuf Henderson, who
has Just returned from Ireland, where
he went on a trip of inspection with
the labor commission, said in an address
here tonight that II British statesman
ship was not equal to the opportunity
which he now was convinced was open
a hopeless situation, SO far as Ireland
was concerned was bound to arise. It
was impossible for him. he said, to
exaggerate the deplorable conditions
prevailing there.
Coercion is applied with such indis-
criminate violence" Mr.. Henderson de-
stricken. The unhappy inhabitants are
reminded day and night that their
country is under the heel of a ruthless
military occupation.
at is actually true to say that life
was safer in Brussels during the Ger
man occupation, than it is now in Cork
Dublin and Londonderry. No man is
safe even women and children run ter
rible risks Of being shot while in the
streets. The economic life of the coun-
try is coming to standstii.
The labor leader asserted that he
had information from ten persons of
their having been robbed by servants
of the crown who had stopped them
Looting and arson were common
place. All this, said Mr.. Henderson.
could not be dissociated from the gov
ernment's policy. which was reaction
ary in it's conception. brutal in its
application and destructive in its con-
SEQUENCES. He. was not saying that all
the outrages were on one side. but
the reprisals had struck blow, per-
haps mortal, at law and order. He
could only hope and pray that moth
ing would happen among the unem-
ployed this winter to give the mem
bers Of the cabinet an excuse for ap-
plying the same methods at home.
"But. there is a CLEAN Of light in
the darkness" he added. my visit to
Ireland has convinced me that there
is a possibility of making peace with
the Irish people.
Repression more drastic than that
Cromwell practiced by fire and
sword" he declared, would be nee
essary to keep Ireland enslaved. and
every resource the Irish people pos
sess would be used in such circum-
stances to awaken the civilized world
to the enormity of England's crime"

THRICE
IN STORM CRASHES
Breckenridge Reaches Nor

Adventures.
By the Associated Press.

PORTSMOUTH. Va. December TO-
Her stem badly bent and opened
deeply, with ten of her port-side
frames damaged. and plates and riv-
cts torn loose, the result of three
collisions Wednesday night with three
vessels within the space of an hour
and quarter, the destroyer Brecken-
ridge Lieut.. B. F. Perry commanding,
arrived at the Norfolk navy yard here
late yesterday with a story of storm
adventure in Hampton roads which
probably is without parallel.
Forced to slip her starboard anchor
when it fouled, the Breckenridge.
after being twice in collision, steamed
to a new position and dropped her
port anchor. only to find that she was
being borne down upon by, another
drifting ship, which struck and dam
aged her. BY "veering'' her cable to
IS fathoms, the force Of this impact
was diminished and disaster averted.
There were moments when those on
board thought the ship doomed. The
Breckenridge lay in Hampton roads
at anchor at $3.50 o'clock. Wednesday
evening when she was rammed by the
three-masted schooner Harriet B. OF

The destroyer did not have enough
steam to make headway against the
eighty mile gale, and continued to
draw her anchor until at $40 o'clock
she struck the. steamer Monomie
broadside to, acress the Monomie's
stem. The blow damaged her port
side from frame 125 to frame 135. the
frames, plates and riyets being
loosened. The force of the wind and
her anchor. which had fouled, held
her across the steamers bow almost
at right angles. 1t was then that she
slipped, her starboar& anchor, and
with it went 105 fathoms of chain.
steam having been gotten up on No. z
boiler the breckenridge swung around
and backed clear of the steamer. 1t
was then 6 O'Clock.
At GAO the Breckenridge again
anchored. Five minutes later the
steamer New Orleans drifted down
from ahead and struck the damaged
stem of the destroyer lightly.
