Ml OF SITDITIM EISY TypSTMD Contrast Between the Work of Union Men and That of Non-Union. New York, Oct. 7.—There are two big steel bridges being built in New York city. One is known as the Blackwell's Island bridge, the other as the Manahattan bridge. These bridges are practically the same size, and practically the same number of men are employed on each one. The Black well's Island bridge is being built by a firm that refuses to employ union iron workers. The Manhattan bridge is being built by union labor.' Since beginning work on the Black well's Island bridge flfty-flve men have been killed. Not a single life has thus far been sacrificed in building the Manhattan bridge.

THE CENTURY MARK New Directory Shows It to Have a Total Population of 91,744. From October 1, 1907, to October 1, 1908, the City Gained Over 5,000. Duluth's population is 91,744, ac cording to the 1908 directory, which will be issued by the publishers this week. These flgures represent an in crease of 5,335 inhabitants since the beginning of the directory year, Oct. 1, 1907. The New Directory. In the new directory there are 2,371 more names than in the 1907 book. The list does not include many women and all children under a cer tain age, and it is by using a con servative multiple that the total pop ulation is arrived at. This number varies in different cities, and has varied in Iuluth in past years from 2% to 3. Last year the 2% multiple was used, and this has been adopted as the n^ost satisfactory. In New Yorlf and othei1 cities as high a mul tiple as five has been used. Population This Year. Last year the directory gave the population of Duluth as 86,409. The United States c'ensus taken in June, 1900, places the population at 52,995, which was a gain of 19,889 inhabitants since the census of 1890. This gives the year 1908 an increase of 28,427 since 1900, and in increase of 58,307 since 1890. Duluth's increase in poulation this year exceeds that of last year by a comfortable margin. The figures in 1907 showed an increase of 5,106 over 1906, while the estimate for this year exceeds that of 1907 by 5,335. This is considered remarkable in the face of the financial panic of last fall, which, it is said, will show a falling off in population in most growing cities of Duluth's proportions. Du luth's increase is exceptional for the northwest, and is larger in proportion to its size than in any other city. How Duluth is Growing.

The 'Mack-Leone players will offer .at the Lyceum Monday .Tuesday and Wednesday the great dramatic tri umph, at present the raging success of the Beast, "The Devil," which has created so much excitement in New York, and which has proved to be one of 'the most artistic and finished plays ever put before the American public. "The Devil" is the reigning dramatic sensation in the metropolis, not because of the controversy be tween two managers as to the author feed version, but one might say in spite of it "The Devil" is winning great and sensational success on its dramatic merits. Proof that this is. so may be found in the now familiar fact that the,.furore in tfevk York, even with all controversial elements added is not one whit greater than the sensation hit sacrec by the' play In -Budapest, Vienna, Berlin, Rome anJ a dozen other., of the continent's greater, cities. "The Devil*'.-, of the play, who for' the sake of symbolism calls .himself "1 7 "Dr. Miller,' 'expresses his whole be ing and the kenote of the play when he says: "I come from nowhere, and I go nowhere, I am here?' In so saying he touches the forehead of the man and the woman who are being drawn together in the net that is so skilfully woven and so expertly wrapped about them. It is a won derful character—expressing fully the evil, the cunning and the adroitness of this modern "Mephisto." The author has sought to emphasize the humor element off this play and to picture "The Devil"—to use the latter's own phrase in the text—as "a pleasant rascal."Pfti Briefly the author's purpose has «bene to provide an entertainment first!: then to teach a lesson in human ethics. Incidentally this devil is not "the traditional "Mephisto," but a rfersonffication, in the form of a very polished, sardon ically humorous man bf the world, of the evil that is within us and the moral of the play is simply that one must not play with fire, that, the one whp does not resist temptation's first advances is likely- to be- lost. In Europe, "where "The Devil" is now being played with unusual suc cess in practically every capitol. Mol nar is called the "Bernard Shaw of the Continent." In so far as regards the pungency and whimsical unexpectedness of his wit and humor, one pay accept this appellation. But critics who go deeper into thin^v^lieatrical declare that Moliiar far excels his Celtic con temporary and fallow craftsman in point of sustained ^ertims effort. That "The Devil", with £lt\il sparkle and all its merry bandinages evidences a deeper and fulletf coinprehenslon of, and sympathy wijh, ,t^e problems of life, and the struggle \Of men and wo— mien, -than do ari^ .'Of 'Shaw's- works. The Mack-Leojie:' company will present the piece iln the same elabor^ ate manner that is^now,'being mounted in the East. L:'' TIME TO THINK.

THIS IS JACOBSON'S STATE LABOR RECORD (Continued from pagei 1.) sent a committee to the Twin Cities to appear before the trades and labor assembly for.-the purpose of request ing them to take action to prevent- the use of convict clut stone on the new state capitol... A news item in the St. Paul Globe of March 14, 1895, shows how Mr. Jacobson stood on the matter. The item is as follows: "There was some debate on Sen. Cronkhite's bill to» provide for the use of: 'Minnesota stone in all state build ings.. Mr. O'Reilly wanted to provide that no su?h stone should be cut by convict labor. Messrs. Jacobson and Feig oppose^ and defeated this amendment." Anti-Boydott Bill. Voted for Anti-Bdycott Bill, H. F.

Mr. Jacobson voted against the bill The bll Iwas introduced by the State' Federation of Labor and Railroad'" Brotherhoods- and was for the purpose of attempting to prevent blacklisting, the, house having. refused to pass a direct anti-blacklist bill. Personal Liberty Bill. In th,e legislative session of 1895^ S. F. No. 343 .which was a bill com monly known as the Personal Liberty bill, making it a misdemeanor- for any company or employer to require as. a condition of employment, that, the employe should withdraw from or refrain from joining any labor organization, was amended by its enemi.es providing that no employe or member of any labor organization should by force, to persuade or in fluence ariy Otheremploye or candi date for employment to join any labor organization. Upon this amendment the only flght of the (bill was- made. Repre sentative Iahl was 'against /the amendment in behalf of organized labor and used thife language: "Here is where the Republican party muit. make labor votes. If we •promise much. and perfonh nothing, we cannot retain their ^confldence." This brought Representative Jacob son to his feet who held that 76 .per cent of labor was unorganized and that this 75 per cent was discrimin ated against by the other '25 per cent unless the amendment'^was adopted. "If the Republican pdHy'makes t^sh promises," shouted -Mr. Jacobson, "It has no right to. fulfill them, and fh^ only sensible way ^ls. ,to legislate la favor of the majority." Prison Labor Bill.

The. bill, was drawn at the re quest of the Shoe Workers* unions and the State Federation of Labor. The principal feature of this" bill was to limit the number of convicts to 15 per ^eemt of- the inmates at any one employment excepting in the binding twine plant. Mr. Jacobson fought this feature of the bill. He wanted the limit placed at 33 1-3 per cent. In speaking on the measure the St. Paul Globe of March 28, 189$ quotes him as follows: "That he was not afraid of the demagogues and the walking dele gations." On the same date the Pioneer Press quotes him as follow^: "Mr. Jacobson attacked the per cent division of labor under the Schurmeier bill, saying that it was the result of dictation from the labor organizations, and this was auto a •.When the bill finally passed the house, he followed, it to the senate and when it came b&ck it was so frightfully mutilated that its author did not know it.
