Union Makes Full Preparations for Labor Day. The Carpenters' union, of Duluth, held a very enthusiastic meeting last Tuesday evening and about 100 mem bers were present. Matters relating to labor day was the principle topic for discussion. Such arrangements were made as will insure the greatest displ&v by this union Labor Day that It has ever made at any parade heretofore. Something new in the line of uniforms which will be very attractive, was agreed upon, and over 150 members will be in the parade Monday. Several new members were taken into the union. Sympathy is easily kindled In the work ingman's heart, and when some mem ber at the meeting brought up the ac cident resulting in the death of little Alexander McLeod and suggested that the union extend a helping hand to the bereaved mother, a unanimous appro val was immediately manifest, and in less time than it takes to write it, $9.60 was collected for that noble purpose. Miss Ida Gonyea, daughter of Mrs. Charles Sager, died Tuesday morning of meningitis after an illness lasting six weeks. She was 19 years of age and had lived here for twelve years, where she had many friends. She was well known in Duluth a couple, of years ago as the champion cake walker, when that amusement was at its height. The funeral was held Thursday from St. James' church.

Our Reporter Hides Behind the Iron Sa4te and Learns Many Thins* of Interest to Lsbor-Baslness Agent Moramn Unfolds His Latest Scheme to the Union, Which la Greeted With Commendation. At the last meeting of the Combina tion Leaders' Union a motion was im mediately carried, after President Rockefeller's gavel dropped, to go into executive session, and the reporter of this paper was once more compelled to dodge behind the big, iron safe when nobody was looking. Chairman Rockefeller recognized Business Agent Morgan. Bro. Morgan said that his hands were so full with strike matters during the past week that he had been unable to attend to the organization of new unions of cap italists, and had only 'been able to grab a few railroads, banks and mines while eating lunch and while other brothers were reading about the latest horse race or ball game. Bro. Morgan explained that he had many plans In view to win the present strike. "My plans," he said, "may be summarized as follows: "First. To make a big bluff through the newspapers to dishearten the iron and steel workers. Our friends who are in control of the Associated Press are stockholders in the U. S. Corporation or allied unions of capital. "Second. To make some of our man agers, superintendents and foremen to go to work, and to transfer them from place to place to make It appear that we are doing business, and after the trouble Is over some of them can be fired as incompetents. "Third. We will threaten to disman tle mills In the small towns, and thus force the 'burshwa' middle class, In order to save their little capital invest ed in a corner grocery, to withhold credit from the strikers and in turn force some of those back to work. 'Fourth. We shall silence public opinion, which is an unknown quantity by having our friends on the Industrial Commission, various anti-trust leagues and our hired politicians generally to talk as long and loud as possible about passing anti-trust laws and to enforca arbitration, etc. This will put the lunk heads and those who have their stom ach full of grub to sleep again. "Fifthu The aristocracy among the working class Is not yet dead. We can prejudice the ten and twelve dollar a day men against the two dollar man, and the former, not desiring to lose too much wages, will come back. "Sixth. We can quietly import men from Europe, and allow them to walk around New York for a while, and then bring them "into the mills and certain influences can prevent the immigration officers from tafklng. "Seveiith. If tti£. worst comes to the worst we can dejfendon the courts to swing lnjunctions'Wd our state or na tional officers to' send the militia. "Supplementary 'to these plans," con cluded Bro. Morgan, "I might add that I am developing a splendid profit-shar ing scheme, which aims at a union of capital and labor and the solution of the so-called labor problem. I am aware that there are still thousands of workingmen in this country who are hungering to get rich, and the question of exploiting their feMowmen doesn't bother them. So I am developing a plan to issue common stock, which is well watered, to our loyal employes, and which, if need' be, can be called in and watered still more. Our faith ful workers will receive beautiful cer tificates, perfect dreams of the prin ters' art, which they can frame and hang on the wall and can sit and ad mire after they return from work and imagine themselves capitalists. I have found* brothers, that imaginations goes a long distance^ specially among those who want something and can't get it." Bro. Morgan's remarks were punctu ated with applause throughout. When he had concluded Bro. Rockefeller took the floor and declared that much of his profits, which were given to him by loyal oil, mining, railway and other workers, would he cheerfully contri buted to conduct the present battle with the strikers. Bro. Depew told a funny story about an Irishman shooting a wad in the air and hitting nothing, declaring that that was exactly what he shot at, and said that he had assurances from a certain railway brotherhood chief that he would use his influence to strangle the strike right where it was. (Great applause.) Bro. Schwab said that the contest was progressing nicely, and that most of the so-called labor leaders are con servative men and the strike would not reach into other trades, which view was also held by Bro. Hanna, business agent of the Politicians' Union. Bro. Vanderbilt started to. call atten tion to the fact that in certain quarters the strike was aiding to increase the agitation in favor of socialism, but he was called to order, the chair holding that it "was not a: political question." After some further discussion, the meeting adjourned. PEACE PROPOSED. K. of L. Suggests Method of Making Peace in Great Strike. General Master Workman Simon Burns, of the K. of L., and president of the Window Glass Workers* asso ciation L. A. 300 has sent an open let ter to Charles M. Schwab, president of the United States. Steel corporation, and to President Theodore- Shaffer, of the Amalgamated association. President Shaffer says rie is satisfied to submit to the arrangement proposed by Mr. Burns, so it only remains for Mr. Schwab to concur. If he does it may result in the immediate termination of the great strike. Mr. Burns, in his letter, submits a quite lengthy propos ition, as the basis of arbitration, which, in all particulars seems to be fair to both sides of the controversy. It is to be hoped that this will be the closing chapter In the great struggle. THE GREAT EASTERN. One of Dulnth's Most Progressive Business Houses. The name M. S.. Burrows and The Great Eastern are inseparably associ ated and. both are leading representa tives of Duluth, the one as a business man and the' other as a business in stitution. M. S. Burrows, proprietor of The Great Eastern Clothing House, was among the early business settlers of Duluth. He is well krtown not only in this city, but in tlie northwest, as a progressive and successful man. Du luth had a population of perhaps 7,000 when Mr. Burrows opened a small store, small compared to The Great Eastern of today, but quite adequate for the time. In 1882 he started in business in a store immediately east of the First Na tional Bank building. During the most of the time for the past 17 years Mr. Burrows "has been in partnership with Adolph Nathan, of Chicago, one of the largest clothing manufacturers in the world but l|e has since bought out the interest of his partner and now owns The Great East ern store individually. Mr. Burrows exercises constant and vigilant supervision over the great en terprise, his energy has created and his keen judgment and good business man agement is exemplified in this modern emporium which he is the head. Mr. Burrows has been prominent in all that stands for Duluth's best interests. He is in short a type of the success ful public spirited business man now so valuable to a community of alert and progressive city builders. The Great Eastern has ever been a staunch friend of organized labor. Mr. Burrows was the first in Duluth to ad vocate and bring about Sunday clos ing. The Great Eastern was the first bus iness in the city to bring about the early evening closing, and again during the months of July and August of this year, was the only clothing store in Duluth to close up Monday nights that the employees could enjoy the pleasure of these evenings, and he has notified the president of the Trades assembly that The Great Eastern will be closed all day Monday, Labor Dav. The new fall goods are now arriving daily in every department and Mr. Burrows looks forward to the coming season as the most prosperous in the history of The Great Eastern. SAME OLD STORY. Wife Repents for Having Her Hus band Arrested. Peter Antiel was arrested Saturday night on a charge of housebreaking with intent to commit assault. Mrs. Minnie Thayer, of Fifty-first avenue west, swore out the warrant upon which Antiel was arrested. She ex perienced a change of heart after the man was taken into custody and wished to have the charge withdrawn. Failing in that, it is said tha£ she endeavored to secure the release of the man, and in this also she was doomed to dis appointment. Antiel was taken before a justice who held him in $500 bonds to appear before the grand jury. The ac cused man was unable to secure bail and was remanded to jail. How Mrs. Thayer, as the principal witness, will act when the case comes to trial, is what puzzles the authorities now. STAGE EMPLOYEES. Ask for an Increase of Wages and Recognition. The stage employes' union presented to the managers of the theatres of Du luth and Superior their scale for the ensuing year, last week. It Is under stood that the terms of settlement have been agreed upon and that there will be no trouble about a settlement. This is good news to the labor organizations of the city, as they are not very anx ious about getting into any trouble un less, however, forced into a corner. MRS. BARTER DEAD. Wife of Secretary Barter Passes Away at Detroit. "Vice President O'Neill, of the Long shoremen's association, received word last Sunday of the death of Mrs. Barter, wife of Henry C. Barter, secretary of the International Longshoremen's as sociation, at Detroit last Saturday eve ning as a result of an operation.' Mrs. Barter was well known in Duluth, where she made many friends during the convention of longshoremen here last year. LOCAL BRIEFS.

Monday being labor day the shoppers Wil havt* to do their shopping Saturday or let It go until Monday, as practically all the stores in the city will be closed during the holiday.

The funeral of the baby was held Tues day from St. James'* church. K. A.

Wesenberg has again refused to feed at the public crib and has resigned his position as helper in the state grain department, to which he was appointed last week.
