Superior Trades Assembly De clares in Favor of Munich The Superior Trades and Labor as sembly at its meeting last week went on record as opposing the renewal of the charter of the Superior Water, Light & Power company. This action was taken after a re port by a cqmuiittee which has been investigating the matter of renewing the charter for some months. The committee brought in a report show ing the success that municipal owner ship has met with in other cities. A resolution introduced by Frank Metqalf of the Trades Union Liberty league urging the assembly to mili tate against the passage of the pro posed food administration bill which is aimed, among other things, at the liquor traffic, was defeated after a considerable discussion. Organizer J. B. Campbell reported that the fire-lighters of the city have completed an -organization and' that a charter has been issued to them and will arrive in a few days. The de partment men hereafter will be rep resented in thje assembly. Ore dock workers are about organ ized, Mr. Campbell reported and a charter is fen the. way. Flags which were expected to'arrive to be hung in the hall did not come and the cere monies which were planned to ac company their dedication were post poned.
