 This combat as compared to the activities of the French and British, on d front extending from Verdun to the sea, was of minor importance.

SO for eight hours work, which would
mean that they would receive about
IL cents Of the rs cents profit the en-
ployer was getting. The strike was in
augurated as much for the purpose of
bringing the true facts to light as for
the money involved, the strikers feel
ing that public sentiment would be
with them in their fight for better
conditions. 49,.
when the people understand the
conditions under which we work they
will not feel that we are being. over
paid at 81 an hour, said C. E4.Baker,
who conducts a strictly union shop in
Fargo.
IT have worked at the plumbing
trade in Fargo for the past 10 years
and in all that time up to the last two
years I never got a full years work.
And I never got a bonus or a Christ
mas present. As a rule a plumber
works about eight or nine months in
the year and the rest Of the time when
work is slack he is idle, so his. aggre-
gate wage for the year~is net at all
high. He has to arm good pay while
he is working in order to live.
Closed Shop Involved
~The principle of the closed shop
is also involved in the present strike,
and is being fought by the Fargo En-
ployers' association, the members of
which, it is said, have bonded them
selves in the sum Of $500 to 1 1000
to the association not to run a closed
shop nor to give work or award con-
tracts for jobs to firms or employers
who adhere to the closed shop prin-
ciple.
"Union labor is skilled labor and
the closed shop not only protects the
working men but it protectsothe pub:
lie against inferior workmanship
Fargo plumbing contractors who are
opposed to union labor and whose men
are now on strike are employing what
scab workmen they a get but are
protected from loss it is stated, by the
employers association. They recog.
nize the right Of the employers to or.
ganize, but not their workmen."

BUNTY PULLS THE STRINGS!

When a certain newspaper office
boy sits down before his typewriter
in the Fargo Foolem (Forum) office
and begins pounding it he reminds
one of a fawning, negative, docile un-
derstudy in the hands of BUNTY, the
master liar, who always pulls the
strings for him.
In order to gain a clear, ~comprehen-
sive idea of how the editorials, that
appear on the fourth page of the Fool

animate these long-winded, witless
ripmaroles as we'll as the exact plan
Bunty has adopted to keep tab on his
office-boy-pupil, first of all, visualize
in your minds eye a picture of an edi-
torial serf, sitting before a typewriter
Around each of his fingers and
thumbs is tied a string four feet in
length, let us say. Behind the under
study's chair stands a tall, slick, we'll
rounded out, portly gentleman Of the
J. Rufus Wallingford "get-rich-quick
type, Mr.. Bunty (who in this instance
personifies the Grain Gamblers in the

the mood strikes him-Bunty slackens

O'CONNOR HERE LAST EVENING

J. F. T. O'Connor, fushion candidate
for governor was in Bottineau last
evening and spoke to a packed house
at the Grand Theatre. Mr.. O'Connor
said in his opening remarks that he
would talk on the issues of the day in
North Dakota and at this he fell
short, instead the orator from Grand
Forks took his audience to the place
Of his birth and told how they used
to buck straw when he was a boy and
then told some Of his career during
the time he attended the state univer-
sity. From here Mr.. O'Connor took
his audience to Harvard or Yale, we
do not remember which, and how he
won fame as a member of the debat-
ing team at the college he attended.
In further discussing the issues of the
day in North Dakota MI. O'Connor
told of being at a meeting somewhere
in Connecticut with men from several
other states and how he defended his
state at this time.
To get down to the real thing Mr..
O'Connor said that according to fig
ures compiled by Tax Commissioner
Wallace North Dakota's taxes had
raised 1913 per cent over the two year
period previous, however he failed to
mention that state hail instance and
soldiers bonus were included in the
above, his idea being to leave the i'm
preston that the 1853 per cent raise in
k~~~@o no h4 e%n&o1 ~ .xrs$h M ollS
ton Of any sort over the period pre-
vious.
Mr.. O'Connor's speech throughout
was one continuation Of part truths,
the most contemplate kind of lying
that the cheap politician of the I. v.
A. type s
Mr.. OConnor told about just
learning that the Bank of North Da-
kota had $4,000 deposited in New
York banks and ridiculed the idea of
giving Wall Street any of money
Mr.. O'Connor, was not sport enough
to tell his audience that the reason
this money is kept in New York banks
is to take care of the daily clearance
on New York through the Bank OF
North Dakota.
Mr.. O'Connor is an orator of ability
and no one who has ever heard him
will deny this Give him a platform
and an Audience and he is right al
home, but in spite of this ability his
political speech as a candidate fol
governor was anything but enlighten.

I. v. A. TYRANTS AND SLAVES

Conversely, we find that those who
have not a strong n Of what is
just to themselves, are likewise def
cient in a sense of what is just to their
fellow-men. This has long been a COM
mon remark. AS one Of u living
writer's puts 1.-THE tyrant is nothing
but a slave turned inside out. In earl
Ter days, when feudal lords yer vas
sails to their king, they were also des-
pots to their retainers. In u own
time, the Russian noble is alike a serf
to his a~utocrat and an autocrat to his
serf. It is remarked even by school
boys that the bully is most ready of
all to knock under to a bigger bully.
We constantly observe that those who
fawn upon the great al overbearing

slaves" exceed all other Owners OF
slaves) in cruelty and oppression, is
a truth established by numerous au-
thorities-quotation from Herbert
Spencer, Page 220 Of the book, LIB
erty and the Great Libertarians."
We have often been curious to know
whether. or not Herbert Spencer might
have had some I. v. A. political boss
es in mind when he penned this mas.
terly analysis of men. At the time
Spencer was in the mortal coil such
an organization as the Independent
Voters Association of North Dakota
did not exist, but nevertheless there
is just one chance in a hundred million
that he glimpsed into the future and
foresaw the day when public nui'
sances like the L. v. A. would come
into being. Be those things as they
may, however, the great philosopher
and analyst of human character gave
us a standard from which to meas
ure the I. ". A. enemies Of the farm
er labor movement. In much the same
fashion as the erst-while Russian
mobiles, I. v. A. bosses like Treadwel

One of the chief reasons why we
should not send Poison Ivy politicians
to Bismarck as the guardians OF ou1
common welfare is because they are
deeply imbued with the slaves psy'
chology. Working as lackeys, yokels
and time-servers for the Minneapoli:
Chamber of Commerce today, if sen1
to Bismarck, they would swing arount
to the opposite extreme and become
uncomfortable. tyrants.
After all, as Herbert Spencer ha'
so .terse1y put it, "the tyrant is moth:

ROSS PLUMBERS REJECT
DEMANDS OF JOURNEYMEN

Farpo-Harrison Rubel president OF
the Fargo Plumbers Union, issued a
statement here, declaring that the
plumbing contractors have fatty re,
fused to pay the scale Of wages asked
nv union labor. Furthermore, they
have absolutely rejected the principle
Of the closed shop.
Practically all journeymn plumbers
in Fargo are out on strike, n MI
Rubel was a member of a commlttee
that waited upon the employers with
a proposal to arbitrate differences.
Trouble however, apparently is what
the majority of plumbing contractors
are seeking, because they geeted the
peace proposal Of the strikers with
cold indifference.
Some Employers Fair
"Some of the employers have a
tendency to be fair and probably would
be were it not for the pressure that IS
being brought to bear upon them by
the Employers association" Mr. Ru.
bel said, "The fight of the Employers
association is but part Of the program
of the United States Chamber OF
Commerce to crush union labor"
The strike Of the union plumbers
now on in Fargo has brought to light
q number of conditions of vital inter
est to the general public, the ultimate
consumer who pays the bills; condi-
tions of which was as a whole unin-
formed and involving principles d.
rectly affecting the cost and charac-
ter Of plumbing work.

tractors chafged SITE cents an hour

working who received 50 q day Tor
