Take First Train.
Two Of these men took the next
train back to Chicago, vowing they
would not ''scab' even though they
did not belong to the organization.
The status of the other five is not so
clear, although it is reported they will
quit the city as soon as they accumu-
late transportation.
In the meantime, big contractors for
Job work are becoming impatient with
the failure of shop owners to consul
mate some sort of settlement with
their employees Several contracts OF
considerable size, ordinarily grist for
Duluth jobbers, have gone out of the
city.
Not shop in the city is working to
capacity except those. which have COM
piled with the 44-hour provision. One
of the latter has installed another ma
chine to turn out work ordinarily as
signed to the now idle machines of
struck shops.
Lounsberry on Record.
1t became known this week that
F. H. Lounsberry, head of a. Duluth
printing company of the; same name,
was one Of the 44-hour plans most ar.
dent supporters less than two years
ago. Today Mr.. Lounsberry is bend
ing every effort to operate Struck
shop with imported ''scab' labor.
Mr.. Lounsberry probably will deny
that he ever said a. good word forstho
44-hour week. But, Mr.. Lounsberry:
is ! officially recorded by the Closed
Shop section Of the United Typothetae
| of America as having attended,. as a.
member, a. convention at the Commo-
dore hotel. New York city. Sept. Is.
1919. -
Mr.. Lounsberry, now the open shop
advocate, also is recorded as having
added his AYE" to vote favorins
shops Of the Typothetae of America.
Minneapolis Lines Up.
, Does Mr.. Lounsberry remember
| this? Has his brother one of the
most gorgeously carved pawns in tho
Citizens Alliance move. been work
ing'' on Mr.. Lounsberry. perhaps?
From Minneapolis comes report
that one of the largest shops in the
city has gone over to the 44-hour
plan, and that others are about to top
pie into line. st. Paul is waiting to
see what the Big Sister will do. A
| shop at Gilbert is reported to be the
first of the range 'irreconcila bles'' to
be reconciled. Certain owners at Hib-
bing, Virginia and other Mesaba
towns are about to gasp 'sufficient-"
They needn't think that by adopt
ing 44-hour schedule they will be
establishing a precedent. There are
others: as witness the following tele-
last few days:
