Wife Dies in Reval Prison
Schwartz's wife and companion on
his tour of Investigation in Russia
was Jessie H. Moll, a Socialist writer
and worker for the Socialist national
party. She died at Reval on December
20, after being imprisoned by the Boil
sheviki and subjected to i'll treat
ment which prompted her to begin a
hunger strike. Schwartz said yester-
day that his wife's last words were:
81 die with the hate of the Rus
sian Bolshevist government in my
heart. Tell that to Gene and the
Judge"
Schwartz left New York last night
for Atlanta, Ga, where he will en-
deavor to see Eugene Debs, Socialist
candidate for President, now in the
Federal penitentiary, to deliver his
wlfe's message. The "judge" mentioned
was Judge Fitzpatrick, Socialist orator
and friend of the couple, whom,
Schwartz told the Tribune, he would
see after laying the real story of
RUSSIAN communism before the Amer
lcan Congress at Washington.

Japanese Suggest u. S.
Lay NeaV Pacific Gable
Propose q Direct Line from
Guam to Shanghai to Take
Place of One Going 10 Yam

TOXIC, Feb. 81 (By The Associated d
Press).-Japan will insist upon its
mandatory to the island OF Yap, accord
| ing to authoritative Japanese opinion.
The protest of the United States gov
ernment to the council of the League
of Nations has aroused great interest
in Japan as new move on a matter
which has already been lengthily, but
thus far unsuccessfully, discussed di-
rectly by the governments of Japan and
the United States.
1t is explained here that Japan bases
her mandatory on the final decision of
the Supreme Council in May, 1918,
which handed over the German islands
north Of the equator to Japan without
mention of reservation. If President
wilson made oral reservations regard
ing 4ap at previous deliberations of
the council, it is declared that Japan
was not represented and has no Off
ciai cognizance of this.
Japan will take the stand that the
mandatory means control of the cables
on the same status as Germany prior
to the war. During the war Japan di-
verted the Yap end of the cable from
Shanghai to the Loo-Choo .(Liu-Kiu)
Islands, between Japan and Formosa.
for administrative purposes. There
fore, cable communication from Amer
lea to Shanghai by way of Guam and
Yap does not exist.
1t is understood that Japan has sue-
gested to the United States to lay q
cable direct to Shanghai from Guam.
as a substitute for the zap route.
Among the newspapers the Nichi
Nichi takes the view that the United
States is In no position to interfere
because it has not ratified the peace
treaty and has not entered the league.
But, it adds, considering Americas
share in winning ths war, it would be
immoral not ito consider the conten-
tions Of America. = I,
The Hochi Shimbun expresses the
opinion that Americas absence from
the league, does not imply that she re-
nounces the right to question league
decisions affecting important world
matters. -.

Spanish Deputy

Agents i'm Madrid
Bitter War Between EN-
ployers and Syndicalists
Rages in Spain, While
Government Is Helpless

MADRID, Feb. 27.--The Madrid pub
lie was startled to-day by news Of q
terrorist attack here upon Deputy
Guerra del Rio, noted for his pro-
nounced views on syndicalism. The
Deputy grappled with his assailants, a
number Of armed men, who fired upon
but did not injure him, and they fed.
The police are instituting inquiries into
the reasons for the outrage.
This attack has brought home to the
people of the capital the reality of the
struggle which is in progress between
the two groups of industrial interests,
which previously has been largely con-
fined to Catalonia. The reports from
Barcelona of outrages committed daily
have been generally received with but
scant interest in Madrid.
1t is openly charged that the en-
ploXers in Catalonia have undertaken
series of reprisals against the workers
societies as a response to the frequent
attacks upon members of the employ
ers' union. For this purpose they are
alleged to have encouraged the forma-
tion of the Free Syndicate, as opposed
to the United Syndicate. In this new
organization, in addition to workers
who refuse to affiliate themselves with
the non-political extremist trade union,
which believes in direct action, a large
number of professional criminals are
said to be members.
When an outrage rs perpetrated
against an employer or q Free Syndi-
cate worker immediate steps, it is de-
clared, are taken by an inner commit
tee of that syndicate to avenge the out
rage. Most of these extreme elements
belonging to both syndicates are known
to each other through system of
espionage, and whenever the opposites
meet in cafe, the street or some other
place serious encounter usually oc-
ours.

10-H0UR DAY ON
STATE HIGHWAYS

Labor, like the autom obile owners,
seem to have been handed a lemon
by the passage of the state highway
act authorized by the adoption Of the
Babcock amendment. The state Ii
cense on automobiles has been fixed
at an Unexpectedly high rate.
Union labor got behind the Babcock
amendment. Its sponsors agreed that
the state eight-hour law would apply
to all work done under it. Now comes
the legislature and it strikes out an
amendment to the highway bill pro-
viding for the eight-hour day.
The anti-unionists, as usual. were
busy on the job. They won and labor
lost. Labor senators made a deter
mined fight against the amendment to
strike out the eight-hour clause, but
it was passed in the senate by a vote
Of 46 to II.
Now many Of the Babcock amend
ment sponsors are busy explaining to
the labor men how the legislature
came to do it.

ARCHITECTS TO
Remain NEUTRAL
Turn Down Request Of Citizens
Alliance to Take Sides in
"0pen Shop" Contest.

The Duluth Architects association
has refused to submit to the dictator
ship of the Citizens Alliance. At
meeting held Saturday last its men,
bers unanimously voted to take no
part in the present controversy in the
building trades.
Francis H. Fitzpatrick secretary Of
the association, in a public statement.
declares clearly the position of the
architects. He says:
"Inasmuch as this association has
been asked to state it's position re-
garding the closed or open shop pol
icy: be it resolved
"'That an architects first duty is
to his client who has a right to his
urprejudiced and unbiased advice;
that in order to be free to give such
advice the architect should not in
volve himself in controversies as be-
tween union and non-union men or
contractors favoring closed shop and
those favoring an open shop; that he
should not ally himself with any men
or Sc. Of men doing work or furnish
ing material, under his dir seton, in
such a way as to make his interest
mutual with theirs.
ave therefore conclude that it is
improper for this association, as a
body, to advocate either union or
non-union workmen or closed or open
shop methods, holding ourselves free
to advise our client impartially in such
matters, and to carry out his wishes"
During the lockout of 1907 the ar
chitects played an important part in
repulsing the unions. In this con-
test, if they continue to maintain a
neutral position, the "open shoppers"
will have no advantage over union
contractors in bidding on work and
securing contracts.

DEATH SUMMONS
FRIEND. LABOR
J.W. Row|ey, Owner Of Hall Long
Used by Unions Succumbs
After Long Illness.

J. W. Rowley, owner OF RoWley
hall on West First street, died Mon
day morning at IL o'clock following a
long illness. A son, Edgar Rowley,
died last week in Minneapolis.
Mr.. Rowley was we'll known to
many union men. The halls, Of which
he was the owner, have been used al
most exclusively by labor unions for
more than 20 years. He believed In
organized labor. was in sympathy with
it's general purpose and took a. kindly
interest in all it's activities. He always
made it point to please and his pres
ence about the hall has been sorely
missed for more than year.
He was a courageous forward look
ing man whose sympathies were for
the under dog. Up to 1896 he was a
Republican in politics. When that
great progressive movement headed by
William Jennings Bryan and Charles
A. Towne swept over the country in
1896 sounding a new freedom for the
American people, Mr.. Rowley had an
awakening and he remained loyal to
the principles he espoused to the end.
Mr.. Rowley was born Sejt. 10, 1843
In Oswego, N. ]. He came to Duluth
in 1888 and built the Kalamazoo hall,
for many years thereafter the head
quarters of union labor and the meet
mig place of the Federated Trades as
semb!y. Later he built Rowley hall
on West First street, which he owned
up to the time of his death. He was a
member of Palestine lodge for 80
years and served as a. city alderman
for two years.
Funeral services were held Tuesday
afternoon from the Masonic temple.
The body was taken to Kalamazoo,
Mich, to be placed beside that of his
wife who died 10 years ago,

cal instruments With Label.

The union piano and organ makers
of Chicago are in the game right.
They have been bitterly fought by the
members having been put in Jail as
the result of controversies arising in
the musical instrument trade, among
them Charles Dold of Chicago, we'll
known nationally in the labor move
ment.
After failing to make peace in the
industry members Of the Piano, Organ
and Musical Instrument Workers In
ternational union dubbed their little
resources and organized and incorpor-
ated what is know as the De Luxe
Piano company. They are engaged in
manufacturing upright pianos,> player
pianos, grand pianos and talking ma
chimes. operating along cooperative
lines.
This institution is a. strictly union
concern using the union label on all it's
output. 1t is the only union piano and
photograph concern on the American
continent. Chas. Dold, secretary trea-
surer, says of the concern:
1--WE believe this to be the first at
tempt ever made by organized labor
of America to establish a real Coop
erative piano and talking machine
factory. The success or non-success
fthis enterprise should be of seri-
our concern to organized labor. It,,
therefore, behooves the members of
organized labor to give this new eff
fort their fullest and unqualified sup
port, thus assuring absolute success.
IF you want to buy new piano,
player piano. grand piano or talking
machine, apply to the De Luxe Piano
Co., S14 Rees street, Chicago, I'll. They
will cheerfully supply all the informa-
ton desired as to styles, prices, etc.
Another way to aid the De Luxe
Piano company would be to see that
your local dealer and to urge him to
handle the De Luxe product"

LABOR WINS OUT
IN MANY CITIES
In Spite Of Provoking Opposition
From Open Shoppers People
-. Side With Labor.

In spite of the provoking opposition
OF the antl-unionists and "open shop
pers' labor is winning some wonderful
political battles in many cities of the
country. Duluth labor scored a signal
victory in the election Of a mayor and
two commissioners.
The entire commission owes it's cleo
ton to laborsand all we ask Of anv Of
the me mbers is to live up to the ideals
for which they fought in the cam
paigns, and to elect to advise them
city attorney who stands for such
without quivering.
In South St. Paul there was bitter
opposition to union labor as such, par
tlcularly to the packing house EN-.
ployes' union. A ticket was named
sworn against labor. The unions took
up the cudgel and made a fight, ell
Getting every man on their ticket.
In Rockford, ILL.,. the home of many
foundries, machine shops and furnis
ture factories, where the "open Shop
pers" are strongly organized, labor
put over its candidate for mayor.
From Fresno, CAL. out on the Pa
cltlc coast, where professional anti
unionists have worked for years, labor
went into the election in the face Of
great odds. Five commissioners were
to be elected and labor won out with
three of them, every one a union man.
That's going some in the face of the
bitter struggle confronting the work.
ers everywhere throughout the land.
1t is to be hoped that in every instance
the men elected will do their best to
merit the confidence reposed in them
by the workers.

"SUCH A LITTLE QUEEN,

When Charming Pollock first
wrote such a Little Queen" in
1908, the world at large and theatri-
cal managers in particular could
scarcely be persuaded that Euro
pean monarch of no matter how pet
ty kingdom, would ever be so ruth
lessly treated by the proletariat as
to be forced to flee and toll for daily
bread
THE season was devoted to in
dustrious but futile craftsmanship, "
relates Mr.. Pollock in the preface to
the published play brought out in
book form last year by Samuel
French. Such a Littl Queen
was offered to % different managers
and rejected. Finally l succeeded in
interesting that good friend and wise
manager, Henry B. Harris. Mr.. Har-
ris intended the piece for Gertrude
Elliot, but Miss Elsie Ferguson had
given such conspicuous promise
in several plays that ultimately
we decided that she could play Anne
Victoria. A few weeks after her ap-
pearance in the part Miss Ferguson S
name went into the electric sign, and
she has been a star ever since"
Now this famous role, which
made Elsie Ferguson, has been
given, in a clever screen version, in
to the hands of another young act
ress, little Constance Binney, the
Realart star, and one we'll suited to
the impersonation of the dauntless,
whimsical. adorable little queen of
the smallest kingdom in Europe.
How well Miss Binney has should

nous role will be seen Sunday and

LOVE, HONOR AND BEHAVE,

Mack Sennett's latest big picture,
Love, Honor and Behave" is said
to have qualities that will appeal to
every type of picture patron. A
quality not usually associated with
Sennett comedies is that of senti-
ment which abounds in this new
plot. 1t is not held up for smiles
or hearty laughs, but is injected
with sincerity and emotional effect
iyeness. 1t will be seen at the Lib
erty theatre next Thursday and Fri
day.
Marie Provost appears as a young
bride. The bridegroom is George
O'Hara, and the tangle that is woven
in their domestic affairs provides
this picture with it's plot. The
bridegroom is held in the mesh of
circumstantial evidence and the bride
is too willing to believe the worst.
They take their case to the judge,
whose nature partakes of the wis
dom of Solomon and the wit of Por-
tia. He settles their differences. In
order to do. this Judge Murray
tells the pair story purporting to
be the narrative of his own expert
ences when he too was bridegroom
and his bride was likewise over
jealous.
The value of circumstantial evil
dence is given a resounding wallop
in the plot; the credibility of unsup-
ported testimony and the veracity of
coincidence are challenged by the
jurist until Marie is persuaded that,
like the Judge, her husband has been
the victim of cruel circumstances.
Judge" Murray's story provides
the episodes of the picture. Beauti
full Phyllis Haver, as leading
woman in the judges story, is re-
vealed as a bride whose experiences
parallel those of the piquant Marie.
