to Duluth Herald. 1.-The strike ap-
bears to be losing here, despite all
contrary reports, and there is re-
turning feeling of optimism among
business men and all others who
have, been concerned over the con-
troversy that closed. down industries
for month. While there is some

seipht-hour day, it begins toalook as
though the strike has been lost so
far, as union contentious are con-
cerned. }Dismissing claims of both
sides, an, impartial observer will ad-
nit that plants are working, but Just
how full-handed cannot be definitely
learned. The picketing appears to
become feebler every day. Sheriff
McKinnon and deputies and local po--
lice continue to preserve order and
prevent pickets from interfering
with men going to work. John Maxi,

the week for hurting the expletlve,

making himself otherwise obnoxious,

next Saturday before Judge H. W.
Hassing at Carlton.
A local business man declared yes

merchants who lined up against the
strikers are groundless so far as ne
observed. There has been lot pub
lished about the strike that, upon in
vestigation, does not appear to be
warranted.
