Jim Mulhcrn Files.
James :Mulhern of the Stage En-
ployes' union has filed for the senate
in the Fifty eight district against
+. r, Ribenack, the present incum-
bent. Mrs. Helen White, a colored
woman, has also, filed. She is not
identified with the organizations of
the colored people of Duluth: and is
little known in the district. Some
persons are evidently putting up a
job on the good woman. or they are
attempting to make a burlesque out
OF the senatorial situation in that
district
Mr.. Mulhern is master electrician
at the Orpheum and two years ago
was organizer here for the Camels,
a fraternal organization committed
to the return Of beer and light
wines. 80 -.
Senator Ribenack has a very good
record as legislator. He is at
present being held responsible for
the employment of non-union paint
ers at. his hotel, thus giving his en-
emies an opportunity to attack him.
There is a big union vote in the
Fifty-eighth district.
NORM and Coolc.
Henry l.. NORM and r. J. Coole
are the only candidates for the sem
ate in the Fifty-ninth" district. There
will be no primary contest. The
Rip Saw states that an effort was
being made to induce Mr.: Coole to
withdraw in favor of w. E. McEwen
editor of The Labor World. There
is nothing to such .rumor. Mr..
McEwen has not been, is not and
will. not be a candidate for any
political office.
There are but two candidates for
the house in the Fifty-seventh dis
trict. M. B. Cullum, the present in

power in Haiti, following which, "a
lawyers representing every" section
of the country referred Secretary
Hughes to the report circulated by
the National Popular Government
league which was taken from testi-
mony before a senate: committee.
The report says that the United
States is occupying Haiti under
cover of a treaty. and it declares
that Haiti is tied hand and foot to
the United States under the treaty
forced, upon her by military occu-
patton. by coercion and duress, by
fear of the consequences of martial
law, and by the forcible seizure, the
placing under an embargo and the
withholding of all her. national
funds and pecuniary resources"
The report states that the action
in Haiti is an ''usurpation of power
and that the United States govern
ment violates: Well recognized
American principles, international
law, our. official professions toward
Iatin-American republics and weak
er governments, our own constitu-
ton and every canon o.: fair and

DEFENDS BIG SALARIES

H. Parker Willis, an employee of:
the federal reserve board, defends
the princely salaries paid officials
Of the federal reserve bank. ;
Writing in the journal of the
American Bankers association, Mr..
Willis SCOTS at the theory that
these salaries should be based on
the fact that cabinet officials are
paid $4,000 a year. ::
This basis of comparison. says.
Mr.. Willis, is "prely artificial. and
must evidently be rejected' because
it is the result of custom and tradi-'
ton. .:
The defense of high salaries is in
teresting to trade unionists, who are
called upon to present their living
costs and bare necessities to men
who insist that there are no classes
in this country"
