VOTE FIRST And
SECOND CHOICES
Electors Permitted to Vote for
Two Candidates tof Commits
sioner in Each Column.

The primary election will be held
Saturday. The polls will be open from
in the morning till 9 o'clock in the
evening. Both men and women who
are eligible electors may vote. Every
voter may cast a first and second
choice vote for candidates for the Of
flee of commissioner.
Every registered elector may vote
for two candidates in the first choice
column. and for two other candidates
in the second choice column. If a
candidate for commissioner does<hot
receive majority of the first choice
votes then the second choice votes are
added to the first choice and the can
didate> or candidates receiving the
highest number of the combined first
and second choice votes will be the
nominees.
Some voters have the mistaken idea
that if they use their second choice
privilege they will kill their first
choice vote. They will do nothing of
the kind. If their most favorite can
didates do not receive a majority of
the votes cast at the primary election
they are out of the game unless the
count of the second choice votes put
them in again.
The first choice vote is, expressed
for the candidate voter wants; the
second choice vote is for the candi-
date he is willing to take. If every
progressive voter would exercise his
right to vote for first and second
choice candidates four very desirable
candidates would ho Nominated al the
primary election Saturday. 1t would
be good politics for every union
worker to exercise his full right of
voting at the primary, aid he would
thus help to eliminate the candidates
he would not want under any circum-
stances.

Goes ON RECORD !.
AGAINST DULUTH
Commercial Club, True to Gus
tom i, Declares for Street Rail-
way, Against City's Interest.

The Commercial club did the ex-
pected thing. 1t has gone on record
in favor of the passage Of the
amended Coleman bill to place street
railway companies under the juris-
diction of the state railroad and ware
house commission.
Nearly every special interest in the
city was we'll represented at the meet
ing held at the club Tuesday evening.
They were all there and they voted
their corporate interests without CIV
ing due regard to the rights Of the
city.
There were a few outstanding men
present, the members of the Engi-
neers' club. who suggested a local
service franchise in lieu Of turning the
street railway control over to the
state. They stood pat to the last and
their eight votes were the only ones
cast against the endorsement of the
bill.
J. w. Stack, president of the Civic
Council and a. member of the Engi-
neers' club emphasized the necessity
of local control over traction COM
panies. He ctood for principle. he
said, and he stood his ground admir-
ably.
John Morrison of the Rip-Saw tore
into the sponsors for the bill with a
vengeance. He declared that one
third of the assem- lage was on the
pay roll of the street railway COM
pany and no one arose to dispute the
fact.
w. E. McEwen, editor of The Labor
World, pointed out the fact that the
bill was drawn in the sole interest Of
the traction company. It's passage
would make perpetual the existing
franchise with all it's ragged edges
and vague powers vested in the city.
1t is shouldering upon the people
something they have been hoping to
get rid of for years past.
The assemblage was deaf to all ap-
peals for the protection of the city's
interests in the bill. Its chief aim was
to relieve the street railway company
and it did it by a decisive vote.

NO OUT OF TOWN
LABOR HERE YET
Builders Exchange Threatens
to Employ Outside Warkmen,
Local Men Stand Pat.

Late last week the secretary of the
Builders Exchange published an ad-
vertisement in the daily, newspapers
notifying all building trades workmen
that their jobs would be held open for
them until Wednesday,, after which
time, if they did not agree to return to
work on the basis of the open shop
wage scale, their jobs would be filled
by out of town workmen.
Such an advertisement costs money.
A simple letter with a two-cent stamp
thereon mailed to the secretaries of
the unions would have served the
same purpose. Up to going to press
Thursday we have not learned of a
single union workman weakening.
They are all standing firm.
Another scare handed to the men
on strike came from st. Paul this
week. A supposed agent for the "open
shop" crowd saw to it that the Off
Gals of the labor movement there
were falsely told that ESQ building
mechanics were on their way to Du-
luth. The information was sent to
Duluth, and labor officials here were
at loss to know Where such a num-
Der Of men were to be employed.
There cannot be over SO men on
strike. Where were the other 200
men to be put? The scare didn't
work.
Every union affected by the strike
still stands for collective bargaining
and all are willing to confer with
their employers for the purpose Of
.endeavoring to arrive at a settlement

DULUTH AIL0RS
\ WIN union SHOP:
Accept Small Wage Cut, Save
Collective Bargaining, Retain
Good will Of Employers.

The strike Of the journeymen tai1ors
was settled by Organizer John Will
liams of st. Paul last Thursday after
noon. 1t was complete victory for
collective bargaining and the union
shop. The union accepted five per
cent reduction in wages.
1t is said. that 50 per cent Of the
journeymen tailors receive more than
the minimum scale and but few Of
them will be materially affected by
the reduction in wages. ;.
No official strike was ordered when
the merchant ta1lors attempted to put
the 5ourneymen and helpers merely
walking out.
When Organizer Williams arrived in
the city he. lost no time in attempting
to arrange a conference between the
merchant tailors and the journeymen.
The union submitted counter propo-
sitlon in lieu of the wage reduction.
1t offered to forego pay for holidays
when taitors were not employed.
The merchants came back with a
new proposition in which they stated
their Willingness, to enter into a
contract with the union based on the
"elimination of pay for holidays, and
a compromise of practically five per
cent reduction in the present scale,
making the minimum wage for jour-
neymen tailors, $33 per week. and
for helpers, $21 a week."
The merchant tailors further pro-
posed that the five per cent reduction
would apply proportionately. That is,
tailors receiving more than the MIMI
mum wage would only be cut five per
cent on the wages they were receiv-
ing at the time of the walk-out.
The union considered the merchant
tailors' proposition from every angle
and decided that in the best interests
of the trade. collective bargaining and
the union shop it was desirable to ac-
cept the compromise.
The new scale Is effective from
March 1 and runs to the, same date
in 1922 without change! If either
party desires change in the contract
on March 1, 1922, 80 days notice
must be given in writing. The agree
ment continues from year to year in
definitely. It is signed by F.. C. An
derson, secretary JourneymenlT ailors'
union No. 81 and George T. May
croft, secretary Marchant Tailors' as
ISOLATION.
Since the settlement If the strike
an attempt is being made to create
dissension among the members of
the Tailors' union, and it is said that a
man we'll known in labor circles is
urging the dissenters to withdraw
from the Journeym'eh Tailors' union
and form a. local unibn of the Anal
gamated Clothing Workers, an or
ganization not affiliated with the A.
F. of l.. ~
Readers are urged to follow the
story now running in The Labor
World on THE Labor Spy" Watch
out for him. This is no time for dis
sension or disunion. It is time for
unity and concerted action. The Jour-
neymen Tailors' union made a. good
bargain and it should be- supported by
the other unions Of the city. Collec-
tive bargaining has been recognized
and the union shop still obtains. That
is the real victory.

GUNNER DID not
.CET>EvEN BREAK
Opinion Of Many Fight Fans Who
Feel Newspaper. Decisions j.
Helped Betting Men,.

If a straw vote was taken at the
Shrine auditorium last Friday evening
among those present who were ia
miliar with the scient. of boxing
Hank Gunner of Buffalo would have
Nichols of st. Paul in the fastest ten
round bout' ever pulled off in this
city.
The daily newspapers gave Nichols
the decision. Gollop in the News
Tribune thought Gunner won out by
a scratch, while Sandy Mcdonald in
the Herald declared Nichols won five
rounds, Gunner two and three were
draws.
The bets were decided in the down
town cigar stores on the daily news
papers decision. Most Of the money
was on Nichols and of course Nichols
got the decision, but the great ma
jority of that magnificent gathering
of fight fans. not the professional kind
who put their money into the game
on chance, but the fans who love the
sport, uphold it's ethics and appre-
ciate it's virtues, believed the worst
that could have been given Gunner
was a. draw.
Indeed there were many fine men
among the spectators who declare
Gunner should have been given the
decision. He came out of the battle
without scratch. Every blow landed
by Nichols was guarded off SO neatly
one would thinl; runners arms
worked automatically with Nichols
drives. Several times it. was noted
Nichols struck low, and Gunner cour-
teously reminded Nichols of the fact
by patting him gently on the shoulder
with the end Of his nit.
The future success of legal prize
fighting in Duluth and the state will
depend on keeping the sport clean.
If the game is to be run only for the
advantage of the professional sports
who bet their money on the bouts it
would be better to outlaw it again.
The sporting editors of the daily
papers have it within their power to
protect the game. If they do not do
it they will have rome to blame but
themselves should an indignant and
decent public arise in protest against
it's mercenary continuance.

AMERICAN LABOR UNIONS
URGE PORTO RIGA PROBE

WASHINGTON, March 10. - The
recent conference of trade union rep
resentatives in this city pledged
their support to the workers of Porto
RIGA in their request that congress
appoint commission with authority
to investigate industrial and govern
mental affairs of that island. It was
urged that the probe shall especially
affect education, heath and SANTA
ton. economic and living conditions
Of Porto Rica workers, and that the
constitution and laws passed by con :
gress for the protection of American
workers shall also apply to the work
ers of Porto Rica.

and it Is now negotiating for the pur-
chase of others closer to Duluth and
Superior. A cooperative construction
company within the union is now
in process of organization
and before May 1 it will be able to
bid on every job in this section of
the country. There will be nothing
too big or too small for the union
to undertake. Only an early settle
ment of the strike will stop the pres
ent program of the union.
The plan that is being worked out
in Duluth was tried in St. Louis, where
the contractors attempted to launch
the "open shop" and they soon capt.
ulated when it was found that the
union could take jobs cheaper, pay
the union scale and show up a good
margin of profit which was converted
into working capital.
