Walter Johnson, candidate for sheriff, spent the pasKweelc campaign ing on the ranges. He states that he is well satisfied with the situation and is optimistic about the election. "I will be one of the nominees at the primaries," he asserts, "and I confidently expect to be elected in November. My friends throughout the county are working enthusiastical ly in my behalf.» I find myself stronger in every locality than I was two years ago." Mr. Johnson's fellow workmen in ^yluth have organized a militant com mittee, and they are working like Trojans in his behalf. This commit tee is headed by W. E. Hammond of the Theatrical Stage Employes' union, of which organization Mr. Johnsoir is a member. A complete and system atic canvass of the county is being made. Workingmen are taking a keen in terest in the election of a sheriff. They want a man in that office who WALTER JOHNSON. will give them a square deal, one who will enforce the law without fear or favor, who will not serve any pai-ticu lar interest or interests at their ex pense, particularly during strikes. Labor does not ask for the -best of it. The laws protect workingmen in their rights, and all they ask is that these laws be honestly and indiscriminately enforced. Mr. Johnson understands fully the position of workingmen with refer ence to the duties of sheriff. He is a workingman and depends upon his daily wage for a livelihood. He be gan life as a newsboy on the streets of Duluth. He next learned the wood working business and was for many years prominently identified with the Woodworkers' union, serving as a de legate from that union in the Trades and Labor Assembly and the State Federation of Labor where he dis tinguished himself for his courageous, manly and straight-forward qualities. During the administration of Henry Truelsen as mayor of Duluth, Mr. Johnson was appointed on the staff of the city engineer. He became very proficient in that office and served the city with distinction and honor I for a number of years. The late Gov. Hammond appointed him deputy oil inspector for St. Louis county, holding the position until the expiration of his term. Mr. Johnson has always taken an active interest in local labor and po litical matters, and his sympathies have always been on the side of the under dog. Wherever men of action were he was always found where he was most needed. His friends are many, and all are working earnestly for his election.

AT ST. PAUL ON NEXT MONDAY Demands of Cabinet Makers and Millmen Before State Ar bitration Board. The Cabinet Makers and Millmen's Union No. 1284 held a very impor tant meeting last Monday night, at which the executive board reported that the state arbitration board had fixed May 27 as the date for hearing the dispute between the union and the mill employers. No. 1284 presented wage demands about a month ago, requesting a con ference with the mill managers. At that time the latter assumed an ar bitrary attitude and refused to meet representatives of the union. In addi tion to this Thor Thorsen, president of the local, was discharged by Z. D. Scott, presumably because of his union activities. Although the members of the union were on the verge of striking, they re sorted to every means to reach a set tlement, finally appealing to the state arbitration board. Last w.eek R. F. Schroeder, a mem ber of the board,1 made an investiga tion of the controversy and finally set the date for a. hearing. It" is said that Mr. Thorsen and J. A. Johnson, sec retary of the union, will be sub penaed to appear before the board in St. Paul, while Z. D. Scott will rep resent the employers. Secretary G. W. Lawson and Vice President Henry Pereault of the State Federation of Labor attended the meeting of the union Monday night. A fraternal committee from Carpen ters' Union No. 361 was also present. Organizer Melvin of the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Join ers is in the city to assist the local union. Seven new members were initiated, and six applications received.
