above letter may be taken as a gentle
hint to Alliance members. 1t implies
that as organized labor is against the
six-cent ordinance for union rea-
sons, it should warrant members Of
the alliance to oppose the three-mill
tax amendment. The ele ction has since
been held; the three-mill tax amend
ment was adopted an: the six-cent
fare ordinance was defeated. An an
alysis Of the vote in precinct or
two would indicate that certain men,
bers Of the Citizens Alliance followed
"orders." In the Seventh precinct, ly-
ing east Of Nineteenth avenue East
and north of Superior street, where a
number of anti-unionists are known to
live. there were but 80 votes cast
against the six-cent fare ordinance
while sc votes were cast against the
tax amendment.
How They Voted.
On Duluth Heights where q num-
ber Of union men live a good majority
was given to the six-cent ordinance.
At Fond du Lac where the editor of
The Labor World votes, and where
he Is not without his personal friends
and influence, the six-cent fare ordi-
nance carried by more than a two to
one shot. We took no part either way
in the contest. =.
It is to be admitted, however, that
many members of organized labor
voted against the six-cent ordinance,
and they did it for the one reason
that they had no use or sympathy
for street railway company that has
closed its jobs against union men.
They could not be expected to support
the company under the circumstances:
But to say that organized labor as
such played any part in defeating the
street railway ordinance, openly or
quietly, is a falsehood that grew out
Of highly developed imagination, Or
was peddled by an untruthful spy in
the labor movement. The Citizens
Alliance was given "bum steer" in
this instance. as it no doubt has got
II many others. Isn't it possible that
this. and similar false stories have
done much to inspire the present
"open shop" movement in Duluth?

1t Is Not True.

1t Is Not True.
It is not true that the Federated
Trades assembly ''at a meeting held q
short time ago unanimously voted to
oppose the six-cent ordnance" No
motion was passed taking any action
one way or the other on the street
railway ordinance The Federated
Trades assembly kept its hands off
the ordinance voted on last Monday.
So that is error number one corrected
for the benefit of the Citizens Alli-
ance.
It is not true that the treason the
unions are opposing the six-cent or
dinance Is that they believe that If
the ordinance is beaten the street rail-
way workers will get no raise in wages
and will then Join tie unions and at
tempt to get a raise through the ef-
forts Of the unions" That is a pure
pipe dream. Union labor as such did
not oppose the ordinance. It's officers
have sufficient intelligence to know
that the company could not be ex-
pected to further increase the pay of
its employees unless it received more
revenue. The Citizens Alliance has
the wrong idea entirely of the attitude
of union labor towards the street rail-
way company.
