MEAT WORKERS
STRIKE FOR $35
and 9-H0UR DAY
More Than Half Of SO Shops
Sign Agreement; Business
Section Alone Tardy.

Meat shops in the downtown dis
tricts are holding out against the
butchers union, members of which
went on strike last Tuesday morning
for ninehour day and minimum
wage Of $50 a week. The minimum
wage is now SGT.
1t is believed the strike of the
butchers is virtually won. Despite
the failure of the downtown shops to
sign the agreement proprietors Of
more than half the shops in the city
have affixed their sigma lures to the
agreement, and these include three in
the business section.
There are SO shops in town. Twen-
ty-one are working under the new
schedule, II having signed up shortly
after presentation Of the demands,
while the other four came across be-
fore the strike was called. An organ
izer from the international union Is
here and is being lam basted by master
butchers for his activities, but the
men have been demanding for nearly
year that an organizer be sent to
Duluth in an effort to better working
conditions of meat shop workers.
Statement by Union.
In statement by John A. Gro
chowski, authorized spokesman for
the organization, it is pointed out that
the men have been working on the

that it was presented to the master
butchers three weeks ago.

agreement since early last spring and
that it was presented to the master
butchers three weeks ago.
Shortly after the demands first
took formal shape the men invited the
master butchers to attend their meet
ing. George M. Peterson, secretary of
the Retail Merchants association,
with which the master butchers are
affiliated, also was present.
"One of the master butchers ex-
pressed himself emphatically in favor
of the demands" said Grochowski
Most. however, voiced objection to
paying for time over nine hours a day.
Peterson suggested that he appoint
a committee from the master butchers
to meet with committee from the
union, and this was done. The two
committees met in the Commercial
club. After two hours Of conference
it was learned that the master butch
ers' committee was authorized to
speak for no one except themselves as
individuals.
Decline to Sign.
1T was then suggested that all
master butchers Of Duluth be asked
to attend meeting of the union.
When that meeting was held, 16 mas
ter butchers. were present, but one left
before the me citing was over. On be-
half of the butchers, Peterson said the
agreement would not be signed be-
cause they did not want to pay over
time, especially for Saturday night,
"They wanted US to demand the
closing Of all business houses In Du-
1uth at o'clock Saturday nights, but
we felt that this wasn't any of our
business and that efforts were being
made to drag US into something that
didn't concern u.s."
The men are not demanding a
closed shop, as a local newspaper has
stated. They simply demand accept
ance of the agreement terms If the
proprietor wants a shop card.

This advanced action was ordered

private profit taken by commercial in

'The American Federation of La

of private profit in the operation of
the workmen's compensation laws In
the state Of Ohio the law has worked
to the advantage Of the wage workers

available to the injured workers. We

for Low Prices.

With no preliminary advertising,
the market of the consumers league
was opened here Saturday, hundreds
of women being present to gather in
the food bargains offered.
All retail grocery stores of the CITY
ron that day were advertising special
sales at \ reduced prices. Regular
prices at the Consumers league mar
ket. according to H. H. Stone, league
secretary, were far below those Offer
ed at special sales' elsewhere.
Stone specifically mentioned plums
to show how the league market will
tend to bring down the cost of living
In Duluth. At the league market,
plums sold for 1926 per box, or four
seventies the prices demanded for the
same variety at Especial sales" in the

basket; apples, 1926 per bushel;
Crawford peaches, 1925 per case:

$1.85 per bushel.
The market has 10000 pounds of

while retail merchants are demanding
20 cents per pound.
Mayor Baxter Of Superior, who

the price is 40 cents a dozen.

Of Fighting Labor.

I'VE have been discharged by the
Duluth Street Railway company for
joining Union affiliated with the

Reading that on banner carried
in group Of 10 men in the Labor
Day parade here, Duluthians received
their first Information that the street
railway company is trying to prevent
its employees from organizing: outside

nified by such a name as the Duluth
Street Railway Employees Athletic as
ISOLATION"
1t was this latter organization that
staged one-day strike here. about
a month ago, despite "pleadings' of
Herbert Warren, its president, who,
incidentally, is general manager and
vice president of the company.
Labor men are saying that this was
a company strike" designed for the
purpose Of forcing the city to grant a.
fare increase Of from five to six cents
BE that as 1t may, the fact remains
that the strike was suddenly called off
when the city commissioners gave
assurance" that they would do every
thing in their power to put across the
increase so that the "men might get
a salary raise"
There were men in that "athletic
association" who were dissatisfied
with 1T as a means Of bringing bene-
fits to them. They asked that g. Fed
Grafton of Labor organizer get busy
among them. One was assigned. He
obtained q nucleus Of IS members and
these met last week to plan for their
organization.
Somehow, the company learned Of
the meeting and it's purpose. Next
day nine of the men who had been
present were fired. Last Saturday
two more followed. That's why the
men carried that banner in the Labor
Day celebration.

Mr.. Dawson writes:
