Secretary McEwen, of the State Fed eration of Labor, received the applica tion of four unions this week for affil iation with the Federation. Martin Smith, of the Sailors' Home saloon, subscribed $25.00 to the Long shoremen's entertainment committee, and he says he is good for that much more if they require it.

Three members of organized labor were on the municipal court jury this week: A. A. Fider, of the Bookbind ers, G. H. Thompson, of the Stonecut ters, and W. E.

He is a veteran of the civil war, and is noted in labor cir cles as a man of considerable tact. It is expected that he will be able to do more than anyone man to bring about an amicable adjustment of any con troversy that may exist between the employer and employed. Geo- Davis, one of the Carpenters delegates to the State Federation of Labor, is vice president of the Trades assembly.

So far. everything is still in the air and the 60 cents an hour sqale.of the lurnber^hovers still holds sood. '. 'VS A meeting between the two- si les was held Wednesday, but what was done could, not be learned. It was given out, however, that nothing deft-n^d was ar rived at and that another meeting will be held today. This would indicate that the lumber-shovers have not as yet yielded to the request of the ton nage men that the scale of wages be lowered to 50 cents an hour, last sea son's rate. It would also indicate that the tonnage men have not yet given up hope of obtaining what they are seek ing-. In the meantime, the" lumber inter ests are on the anxious seat and are hoping that some agreement of an amicable nature may be reached be tween the tonnage men and the shov ers. The tonnage men say that if a reduction in the scale of wages is not secured they will have to raise the lumber rates to $2.50, and even at that will carry $1 ore in preference. It was remarked last night, howrv^r, that there is not much demand for ore at present, for the stagnation in the irqn market is almost as, bad a$ the dearth of demand in the lumber market^ and that ore is not going forward very fast in conse^uoucr of the small de mand for it. But the iron market is likelv to wake up before the lumber market'does, \some believe, and in that case th6 lumber tonnage men can car ry their threat into effect. But it is firmly believed that the tonnage m^n and the shovers will reach some agree ment so that the rates on lumber will not have to be raised above $2.25, or that at $2.50 lumber will be attractive enough to overcome the desire to carry ore. CENSUS THEX HAVE TROUBLE. People Pnt Oil Answering tlie Questions. The census enumerators of this city are already having their troubles. It looks as if they would be exceedingly hard worked to get their task com pleted by June 15, the time fixed. Among the troubles is the way the people put the enumerators off. With a list of about 20 questions to answer the man likes to put the job off as long as possible. Consequently there is frequently heard the statement, "come down to my office." The enumerators are all meeting with this statement and the plan they seem Intent on fol lowing is tp mark down the name with "refused to answer" after it. One enumerator said: "We have not time to see each person three or four times. ,The people ought to be civil ized enough by this time to understand that. If they are not Interested enough in their city and county to answer, why, all right." One of the .first questions is: "Is your house mortgaged?" But little dif ficulty is experienced, it is claimed, in this matter, as the enumerators are pledged to secrecy. And they are not allowed to make a second copy of their schedules and answers. They are fur ther forbidden to divulge the number of names, or any statistics whatever after their work Is completed.

From present indications Duluth will be captured unconditionally the latter part of next week, and the stranger will reign supreme, or at least he should. Next Thursday the United Commercial Travelers will meet in an nual convention here, for a three-days' session. The district comprises North and South Dakota and Minnesota, and as the travelers always turn out In force, a conservative estimate places the number of the order and their friends that will be in Duluth at 1,200 and perhaps 1,500. The local traveling men have been at work for some time arranging for the entertainment of their guests, and they will doubtloss succeed in making the occasion enjoy able in every way. They ^vill tax the city hotels almost to the limit. But here is where the predicament begins, and it will require the united efforts of the business men of Duluth and the people generally to .solve the problem that now confronts the city. Through a misunderstanding of some kind the Northern Pacific railroad ar ranged to run one of their usual sum mer excursions on Friday, June 15, from Morris, Minn. An exceptionally low rate is made and hundreds of the residents of that section will doubtless take advantage of it. The train will arrive in Duluth Friday afternoon and the excursionists will stay here until Sunday night. Then th$ Great North ern announced that it would run an excursion to Duluth on the same date, and so on Friday morning of next week an excursion train will leave Willmar, Minn. Both trains will pass through a thickly settled country and a large numeb of prosperous towns, and there is little doubt but that both will be crowded i^ith people coming to see the sights of Duluth and the lake. Now the question is: "Where will tliey sleep? All of them" will have money and will expect to pay a reasonable price for accommodations. The Duluth Improvement association is hai'd at work on the matter, and hopes for a solution, but the only one is for the people 1^o take sufficient in terest in the welfare of the city, and themselves, to throw open their *homes. If it is not done, the excursionists will necessarily have to go to Superior, and as each of the 2,000 or 3,000 expected will spend more or less money, the Wisconsin city will get the benefit, in stead of Duluth business men. It be hooves immediate action, and sugges tions are in order. A large number of cots will probably be placed in the Ar mory and other places for the conveni ence of the visitors, but all available room will be needed. Secretary. Hill of the Improvement association is work ing early and late on the problem, and hopes that Duluth will sustain her reputation as a. hospitable city. The following notice has been drawn up by the association: Owing to the inability of Duluth ho tels to entertain large parties of ex cursionists, the undersigned wish every person in the city, having a spare bed and willing to accommodate, to send word accordingly. Strangers will each pay 50 cents per night. Address Im provement Association, Chamber of Commerce Building. CHARLES H. GRAVES, /RAY T. LEWIS, J. L. GREATSINGER, -/i HENRY TRUELSEN, T. W.
