AUGUST Z RECALLS
D. cir. HISTORY

Forty-five years ago Monday, Aug.
the II, Duluth & Iron Range rail-
roads first time table was issued and
runs made according to the adopted
schedule.
A copy of the time table circulat-
ed Monday, Aug. IL, 1884, hangs on
the wall of the st. Louis County
Historical society, gift of Horace
johnson, president of the road.
When the first schedule was pub
lished the road had not been extend
ed to Duluth and operated only from
Two Harbors to Tower. The run in
1884 required 5 hours and 10 minutes
on passenger trains. Today the same
distance, 68 miles is covered in J
hours and IS minutes.
The train made II stops before
reaching Tower. These stations bear
ing Indian names do not exist today
The stations were: Wabegan, SibiwiS-
sa, Gakadina, Matawan, Cloquet Riv-
er, Wissakode, Basset Lake, White
Face River, st. Louis River, Binisibi
Okwanim, Mesaba Heights, and En-
barrasS River.
R. H. Lee was superintendent OF
the road when the first train sched-
ule was adopted. G. H. White was
assistant superintendent and train
dispatcher. The only rule of the road
As years ago was that all trainmen
must compare their time daily at the
dock Office before leaving on their
run.
The first time table included sched-
ules for freight and ore cars as well
as passenger trains. There was one
passenger, freight and ore train daily
leaving each end of the line. The
freight train left Two Harbors at 6:45
a. m. daily and completed the run
at 1858 p. m. The ore train started
at sos a. m. and reached Tower at
1880 a. m.

citizens to make possible for our
amateur school band to play at Vir-
ginia, Eveleth, and Minneapolis, and
the orchestra at Aurora. These happy
experiences were new to at least the
forty band boys and girls and twelve
orchestra people who started on the
joyous road to music land since took

GAN FRANCISCO, March 19.-Re-
" fusal of the owners of five the

trict to carry out their contract to
hire musicians even though movie
tone" and other sound devices may
be installed, has brought a strike of
all musicians, stage hands and NOV
ing picture operators in them.
The strike was called by the
musicians union, and the other en-
ployes walked out in solidarity with
them.
The strike is under control of the
locals here Of the American Fedora

dissatisfaction among the members
against their international officers,

SO far to adapt union policies to
combat the unemployment resulting
from the "vitaphone" and "movie-

that International President Weber

face situations. such as the present

BOYCOTT FAKE
TAILOR POLLS
Threats Fail to Force
Membership to Vote

Despite all attempts to force the
union membership to participate in
the fake elections, the right wing
was compelled to admit they were
a farce by publishing figures which
showed that only 159 members of
Ladies Tailors Local 38 of the In
ternaticnal Ladies Garment Work
ers Union came to the polls. The
progressives in the union illegally
ruled off the ballot had issued the
slogan, Boycott the fake elections" "
What further demonstrates the
bankruptcy of the tyrannical clique
controlling the organization is the
fact that 25 of those who did come
to vote had marked "no" on the bal
lot where the right wing names were
printed without contenders, while Is
ballots were altogether blank. The
vote for the machine leader, Draizen,
was therefore 109.
This despite the fact that Off
Gals of the union had visited the
shops and after threatening five dol
lar fines for non-participation even
went so far as to provide autos for
various shop crews to come down
and vote.

Mike Stanevich, a miner, Norman

badly beaten up by thugs and police
at Trotskyist- Cannon meeting last
night at Labor Temple, 14th st. and
ID Ave, that they were taken to st.
Marks Hospital and had stitches
taken in their scalps.
Appropriately enough the rene
gades issued yellow cards to those
who were allowed to buy tickets, and
had strong-arm Identification
squad stationed at the door to keep
militant workers from entering the
meeting hall.
The left wing and Communist
workers who were refused admission
or elected from the meeting, which
was. only half full, picketed the hall
en- 1nasse and organized a spontane-
Gus demonstration on the street
against Trotskyism and for the
Communist International, the Com

MONTGOMERY, Ala, March 10.
The flood Of the rising Alabama
River, which now covers four Negro
counties, continues to spread, altho
the first flood, that of Big Creek
and Pea River is now subsiding. The
Alabama River flood, in the west
ern part of the state, is already sew
eral times as large as the Pea River
flood, which was in the southern
counties of Alabama.
The first news of the latest dis
aster came from aviators, flying to
the stricken Pea River section. They
reported people clinging to trees, and
shouting for help. Communications
I are destroyed, but it is known that
some $4,000 are driven from their

plane OVERLOAD
IN FATAL. WRECK
16 in Sightseeing Ship
Licensed for IA

! WASHINGTON, March 19.-Bur-
eau of Aviation officials admitted
that the Ford three-motored plane
used by the Colonial Airways Co.,
for sightseeing over Newark and
New York was licensed for only four
teen, including the pilots. The plane
which was forced down and wrecked
on a sand car, with loss of IA lives
day before yesterday, carried Is
passengers and one pilot.
Lou Foote, the only pilot in the
wrecked airplane of the Colonial
Airways Co., gasped out his story
from his cot in st. James Hospital,
Newark. He said that he had plenty
of fuel, but that while in the air,
one motor died, and the load was so
heavy the other two could not keep
the plane afloat. He had to land,
and had not speed enough to drift
back to the landing field. He tried
to miss the freight train against
which the plane crashed, but could
not get power enough out of the two
motors. He has not been told that
there were any deaths.
The idea of a three=mQtored plane
is that it can run with two motors
If one goes wrong. But this is
promised on a reasonable load.

q. S. Figures Admit 2,1T
Miners Killed for Profit

WASHINGTON, D. c., March 49,
Deaths in the coal mines of the
United States totaled 2,171 during
last year alone, according to figures
just released by the U. S. Bureau of
Mines. Almost all of them were pre-
ventable accidents, due to the. speed
up tactics of the employers and their
neglect of safety precautions in or
der to reduce costs.
Of this number, 1,724 accidents
were in the bituminous coal fields
and 447 in the anthracite.
There We're more soft coal acci-
dents in 1928 than in 1927. Falls in
mine roof and coal are responsible
for at least half of the accidents.
Proper. timbering would have saved
these men. There is always a fight
by the miners to get the company to
timber those underground workings
leading to the working class, and
without a strong union the. company
prefers to kill its men rather than
put in timber.
The National Miners Union is try
ing to organize the miners and put
an end to this murder for profit.
