. ton Of Labor Addresses the
Trades Assembly.

There are strenuous days ahead
for union labor and we should put our
best and most honest thought into the
problems that confront u.s." declared
E. G. Hall of Minneapolis. president
Labor, in an address to the Federated
Trades assembly last Friday evening.
The meeting was called to order
promptly at o'clock. A number of
addresses and the routine business
kept the delegates in session for three
hours and it was after II o'clock be-
fore Mr.. Hall began his address,.
Every delegate waited until he had
finished. It was full of interest and
the assembly lost no time in adopt
ing several Suggestions made by Mr..
Hall.
THE anti-unionists are organizing
as they never have before. They are
bringing pressure to bear on employ
I have heard of several union firms
that have served notice on the unions
with which they have done business
for years that they will take advan-

ing in the schools and everywhere to
line up the public against union labor
with the open shop as pretense. In
the legislature they will harass union
labor with unfriendly legislation such
as anti-strike, incorporation of the
unions, motor truck and state police
and other such bills" Mr.. Hall urged
that a strong legislative cvommittee
be appointed and prompt action was
taken.
E. D. McDougall of Minneapolis
addressed the meeting on schools and
teachers. He declared that it was i'm
portant to bring the labor viewpoint to
the teachers. He urged the assembly
to establish lecture course here,
bringing such teachers as Prof. w. M.
West and A. w. Rankin to Duluth.
The matter was referred to the lec-
ture committee.
A communication was received from
San Francisco Boilermaker's union,
notifying the Duluth unions that the
firm of Stone & Webster. non-union
firm, had let contract for a pipe line
to a Duluth firm. The matter was re-
ferred to the local union Of boiler
makers.
A letter from Lewis Harthill, former
chief Of police of Minneapolis, Offer
ing to give an illustrated lecture here
on police methods, was referred to the
lecture committee. A letter from the
American Labor Alliance for Trade
Relations with Russia, asking the as
sembly to go on record in favor of
the United States opening trade with
Soviet Russia was endorsed.
The meeting was one of the most
interesting held by the assembly in

1850 PEOPLE attend
UNION BALL At ARM0RY

Fully $500 people attended the an
nual ball of the Stage Employees and
Musicians unions at the Armory last
Friday evening. 1t was without a
doubt the biggest dance ever held in
this city. II have never seen anything
like it," was the expression heard
from every tongue.
The gallery was filled with onlook-
ers as thousands Of people gracefully
danced to music furnished by an Or
chestra OF 60 pieces. The lighting ef-
feet was marvellous and the moonlight
dances were the hit of the evening.

AMERICA ENJOYS RECORD
FOR TELEPHONE SERVICE

1.-The telephone was invented in
America nearly SO years ago, and
ever since. the United States has led
the world in telephone achievement
and has continuously given to the
public the highest known standard OF
the telephone SERVICE" said ]. F.
.McKanna, local commercial manager
Of the N. w. Telephone company. in
discussing the general use Of tele-
phones yesterday.
I'm no other county has the tele-
phone been so universally used and
for this reason in no other country
have there been such tremendous
problems of engineering construc-
ton and operation to be solved.
1.-THE Bell System, that is, the
American Telephone and Telegraph
company and Associated companies
has earned an unparalleled record for
scientific development, sound financ-
ing and efficient public service"

BETTER SERVICE
IS MOST NEEDED
Street Railway Company Losing
Many Passengers Because
Of Long Waits for Cars.

The city stands helpless while the
street railway company compels peo-
pie to wait for long periods of time
on street corners for street cars. The
poor service now being given is losing
the company more money than it
would receive from an increase of
one cent in it's carrying charge.
How do we make that out? We
have been conducting little inves-
tlgatlon OF our own for the past week
and we have found that passing auto
mobiles pick up enough people watt
ing for cars on street corners to more
than make up six-cent fare.
One morning this week IA people
were picked up by automobiles be-
tween Nineteenth and Twelfth ave-
nues East. That was a loss to the
street railway company of 70 cents.
More may have been picked up by
other autos, but this number is all
we observed. The next west bound
car following the pick-ups to which
we have referred carried 81 passen-
gers.
If all those 81 passengers paid five
cents each for a ride it would bring
the company s2.85. If they paid six
cents it would bring $3.42. If cars
had been run at shorter intervals the
company would have carried the IA
persons picked up by autos and thus
at a five-cent fare added 70 cents to
the $2.85 on one car alone, bringing
$685.. or Is cents more than a six
cent fare would bring from the 81
passengers it carried.
Poor service and not the five-cent
fare is wrecking the Duluth Street
Railway company. In it's demand for
the six-cent fare it is not thinking at
all about today. It is thinking of a
new franchise it will hope to get be-
fore the present one expires.

J. D. JOHNSON
OF ROSEMARY DEAD
No One Knows Where He Came From
toRosemary, Nor Anything About His
People He Leaves $500 in Cash
and House at Rosemary.

Mr.. j. D. Johnson, aged about
seventy years, died Wednesday
at his boarding house at Rose
mary, after an illness of several
weeks, probably Of asthma.
Mr.. Johnson came to Rosemary
about sixteen years ago, from
where no one knows. No one
had ever known whether he had
any relatives living or not until
a few days before he died. He
told of a sister living in Pennsyl-
vania the last time he heard
from her just how long this has
been no one knows.
Undertaken Williams wired the
mayor of the town mentioned by
Mr.. Johnson to try to locate his
sister, but as yet has heard moth
ing.
Friends did what they could
to relieve the sufferings of the
sick man but as he did not be-
lieve in medicine or doctors there
was very little could be done.
The deceased leaves an estate
Of about $8,000.00 in real and
personal property. This will be
handled as required by the law
unless some of his people can be
located. Burial services will be
conducted today at the local
cemetery.

MISS LIZZIE DALTON RUN
OVER BY AUTO

Miss Lizzie Dalton, a member
of the school faculty, was very
painfully injured last Saturday
at noon in an auto accident at
the intersection of Roanoke Ave-
nue. and Second street.
Miss Dalton, while attempting
to cross the street, was knocked
down and run over by the car
Of Mr.. Jack Williams, supt. of
the Roanoke Fibre Board Co.
The accident seems hard to ex-
plain. Eye witnesses state that
Mr.. Williams was not running
fast when the accident occurred.
The small bone of one of Miss
Dalton's ankles was broken and
bruised. She was taken immedi-
ately to the Roanoke Rapids
Hospital where her injuries re-
ceived the proper attention. We
understand that Miss Dalton is
getting along as nicely as could
be expected.

Thirtieth Division Leads in
Medals of Honor

In an official table of figures
corrected to February 6, 1920
prepared by the statistical branch
of the General Staff, War De-
partment the 30th Division
leads all other divisions of the A.
E. F. in the number of Medals
of Honor awarded. This number
is twelve, while the S9th Divis-
ion comes next with nine. The
Second Division leads in the total
number of awards, 693. This in
cludes Distinguished Service
Crosses and Oak Leaf Clusters
as we'll as the Congressional Med
al Honor, but does not include
foreign decorations. The First
Division takes second place with
420 decorations from the hands
of the American Government and
the thirtieth Division takes
fourth place with 919. The 9th
Division which was the fighting
mate of the 90th gets 139. Of
the large number of awards of
the second Division 1856 went to
Marines and Naval personnel
serving with the Division.
Of all the awards made by
the Army 80 per cent were made
to officers and 81 per cent to
enlisted men. In great many
cases the recommendation was
made for an enlisted man and
before the award was made he
had risen from the ranks and
joined the commissioned person
mel.
