WANTS CITY TO
own CAR LINES
Trades Assembly Opposes In
crease In Fare and Will URGE
City to Get System.

Union labor will oppose anv in.
crease street railway fares. It will
urge the city to acquire by condem-
nation the property of the Duluth
street Railway company to be oper-
ated democratically. This action was
taken by the Federated Trades assem-
bly, at a meeting held in Owls hall last
Friday evening. A strong resolution
on the subject was introduced and
passed.
In the resolution. the assembly re-
affirmed Its stand favoring municipal
ownership Of public utilities and de-
clared it's belief that the only real
solution Of real public service was
the participation Of the workers in. the
management Of such public utilities.
With this aim in mind the assembly
declares itself unalterably opposed to
granting the Duluth Street Railway
company any Of the requested conces-
sions.
A committee of seven was appointed
to study the situation and draft a plan
Tor the solution of the street railway
problem of the city and report their
findings at the next meeting of the
assembly. The committee appointed
was as follows:
Demands of Resolution.
Joel Lichten, w. E. McEwen, Will
liam ]. Farmer, H. L. NORM, w. J.
butcher, A. G. Catlin and Darcy
Cloutier. The resolution adopted was
as follows, in part.
Whereas, We deem it inopportune
for the city of Duluth to make
any of the enumerated grants or in
crease in the rate of fare to tn Duluth
Street Railway company for reason
that such subsidies will ultimately
serve to give larger dividends on
watered stock and add another burden
upon the street car patrons and the
taxpayers of the city, while under
the present franchise there Is no as
surance that the company will make
any substantial Improvement in street
car service. Now therefore, be it
Resolved, by the Federated Trades
assembly, That we reaffirm our stand
favoring municipal ownership Of pub
lie utilities, with the workers partici-
pat1ng in the management, as the only
solution of real public service. With
this aim in mind, we declare our
selves as unalterably opposed to
granting the Duluth Street Railway
company any of the requested conces-
sions."
A committee appointed to investi-
gate the reports Of labor troubles at
International Falls where the state
troops were called to quell a reported
near riot. made a preliminary report
last night in which it was said that
the rumors and published articles of
trouble there were absolutely without
foundation and unwarranted. Infor-
NATION, it was said, was gathered by
the committee from a large number
of sources and from unbiased persons
and in practically every instances.
It is said the opinion was the same
that there had been no intimation Of
any trouble and that the call for
troops was unwarranted. The COM

Helene's Married Life By May Christie Copyright Mcch4e
By May Christie

Travis Lloyd left us about six o'clock and went up to town. Jim and l stayed another night at Anstruthe1 Lodge to keep Alice company. Indeed she begged us not to leave her.
 Next day when we made move to go she burst into nervous tears.
 "And my husband made you promise ito be nice to me, Helene," she soD- bed. "And this is the sort of thing you do-running away when I'm in i trouble"
 There was no earthly good in argu- ing with her. Alice, in a childish, petulant mood, is quite impossible. Jim was annoyed. But finally made him consent that we both stay on a few days longer.
 "Think of her lonely, widow condi- tion," whispered to him.
 Jim looked rather grim. He shrug- ged his shoulders.
 Lonely and widowed won't ap- ply for long, you'll see. Alice won't break her heart!"
 I thought this rather hard of Jim. But began to realize the truth of it when I observed Alice's coquettish tendencies commence to reappear- said coquetries even being directed toward my Jim!
 Plaintve, helpless little ways had Alice Oh, how she could cling. If

anyone thwarted her in anything, al that time, she would collapse in tears
 But we managed to live through it
 To return, however, to the day fol lowing the reading of the will. It seems that Travis Lloyd had actually gone up to town, had seen both Tony and Jim's father, had reasoned with the latter, begging him to withdraw the charge, and had bailed Toney out of his captivity for the sum of twenty five hundred dollars.
 That night the phone rang in An struter Lodge. Alice dared to an- swer it.
 After few moments SC returned to Jim and me in the library with a pale, excited face.
 q can't think what it means" she said. "Mr. Lloyd has returned to Thorny Grange, and he's brought Tony with him! I was speaking to them both upon the telephone.
 Neither Jim nor I found Alice's news as thrilling as that lady did her self.
 Tony and his criminal tendencies were not the most fascinating topic in the world.
 Not that Alice spoke at any length of Tony. No! But her whole mien was one of suppressed excitement.

NEW YORK SUGAR

New York, June 17.-There were no further changes in the raw sugar mar ket today with Cubas quoted at IS 1-2 cents, cost and freight, equal to 1856 centrifugal. There were sales of A. 900 bags of full duty sugars afloat at IS IA cents C. i. f. and 10000 bags of Porto Ricos for June shipment at 19.56 for centrifugal.
 Prices for refined were unchanged at 22.OO to 23.00 for fine granulated.
 Futures were less active today and price changes were irregular. The opening was unchanged to 15 points lower but soon firmed up on covering and trade buying with prices at one time to 25 points above last nights closing level. Toward the close, how. ever, there was renewed selling and prices again eased off with closing quotations 15 points lower to IA points higher on active positions.

nary that MT. Lloyd should bring Tony down here," volunteered. "He's probably making him return the doc uments that he stole from the safe in Thorny Grange"
 | Alice looked abashed. In some curious way don't believe she con siders Tony's thefts are thefts at all, in the generally accepted meaning of the term. Feminine reasoning can be most peculiarl. AndTTzwhen Alice thinks of Tony-her logic seems to get a little twisted. What would be crimes in other people, are merely small Deccadilloes if Tony is involv- ed therein.
 She sat apart from us that night, staring into the fire, her small white fingers knitting industrously, and her blue eyes with far-aff look in them.
 Occasionally big tears would we'll up and trickle down the side of Alice's dainty little nose. She would brush those tears away with quick move- ment, and the dreamy look would be there again.
