Recognizes the Iniquity of the Present Law and Proposes to Make a Change. "I think that this school election law works an injustice upon all men and women who work," said Senator T. M. Pugh of the 50th Legislative District in the Labor World office to day. "At the last session of the Legislature I had two bills bearing on extension of the hours for holding school elections, but it would have been a diiffcult matter to get them even out of the committee.

Unfortunately for Duluth all three of the cities of the state over 50,000 in population are working under separate special l%ws. "You can readily see how difficult it would be to pass a general law that would be satisfactory to the mem bers of the Legislature from the three cities. "The situation in the three cities is about as follows: In Minneapolis the members of the Board of Education are elected at the general election. In St. Paul they are appointed by the Mayor, and in Duluth they are elected at a regular school election. "I believe that a bill could be In troduced and passed which would provide for school elections In cities of over 50,000 inhabitants, so that the hours of election would be between 6 a. m. and 7 p. m. This would not interfere with Minneapolis, because these are th6 regular election hours'in that city. It would not interfere with St Paul, because there Is no election there. It would only pertain to Du luth, and hence ought to receive un animous support of the Legislature." "If I am re-elected to the Senate I shall do my utmost to secure the passage of such a law."

Was Travelling for Modern Woodmen and Meets With Much Success. Robert Rankin of the Typographical union, and former chairman of\ the "lo cal strike committee, who has been in the western portion of the state for the past three months In the interest of the Modern Woodmen of America, returned to Duluth Wednesday even ing. He leaves this evening for Ottawa for a short visit with relatives. Mrs. Rankin has-' been visiting there for some time. Mr, Rankin met with remarkable succession his trip In the west. He secured many new members for the Modern Woodmen, and arranged an elaborate picnic at Crookston last week. Fully 3,000 people attended the picnic and speeches were made by Former Governor Van Sant, and Su preme Lecturer C. E. Whealan of the M. W. A. Congressman Steenerson was chairman of the occasion. In speaking of the affair the Crookston Journal paid the^following tribute to Mr. Rankin: "The huge district of which Crooks ton is the headquarters is one of the most active in the nation. It stretches as far socuth as Traverse county and north to the Canadian line including on the east Beltrami county and Ros eau. Of this district Robert Rankin, for merly of Duluth, is the deputy and to his efforts probably more than to the efforts of any one man is due the ex traordinary success that makes today a future memory among the thousands that throng the streets. The Crookston district is well cov ered with prosperous lodges. In Roseau as in Norman and Becker lodges grow up in every village nur tured by those strong feelings 6f fra ternity and desire for benefits that characterize the at once social and practical American race.

Very Pointedly Informs "Tea Potter" That He Doesn't Like Double Dealing. The employers jof a number of un fair printing offices in Duluth have resorted- to unfair means to deceive the' merchants of this', city to believe that the strike of the Duluth Typo graphical union is over. No one knows thia fact better than the em ployers themselves. They are sorry that they know it and every time they look at their books the cold fact stares tbem in the face. One of these proprietors last week represented to a business man that the strike had been settled. When informed by a committee of the union that it was not so he became very indignant at the misrepresentation made to him and the unfair office will receive no more of his work until its differences with the Duluth Typo graphical Union are settled, and then it is a question whether he will ever get any more of the work. Very few, people stop to consider the issue involved in the present eight-hour'contest of the International Typographical Union. It has been on since Jan. 1 last, and a number of unions whose contracts expired pre vious to that date have been engaged 4n the struggle feince last AifSust. It is a question that every well meaning citizen in our community should thor oughly understand and assist in set tling—and settling it right at that. The International Typographical Union has been watching closely for years the great advance that has been made in the printing industry. New labor saving machinery has been add ed, displacing many of its members. The question has confronted the offi cers of the International organization bow best to provide, for the unem11 ployed. -The only solution of the ques tion was the eight-hour day. In the printing business thousands .of men were scattered all over the country waiting for something to develop that would enable them to once more find a purchaser for their labor power. It came in the declaration for the eight hour day. ,At once became apparent the conflicting interests in the two factions affected by this decision. The employing classes felt that resistance must be offered and the labor sellers understood that idle men were a men ace to their interests. When on Jan. 1 last the action be came general the bosses were of the opinion that the strikers would soon bo forced through starvation to seek their former masters and beg to be taken back. They overlooked the fact that the army of the I. T. U. had made provision^ for a siege. Funds were on haadtokeefrupthe^ skirmish and new funds are continuially supple menting what is used up. Men don't work because of the love for work. They work in order to sup ply the means required to live. The working members of the typographical unions all Over the country are de termined that the shorter workday must come and they are a unit to pay any assessment cheerfully until it is accomplished- For the past nine months they have been paying 10 per cent of their w^ges to help malnt|in their fellow workers who are still out on.strike. -Many of the unions have assessed themselves 15 per cent, and some Jiave paid as high as 25 per cent. Such a magnificent spirit has never been exhibited by. any other labor organization, and the printers are to be commended. They have stood by their international Officers to a man, and today, after nearly nine months of a struggle, are still loyal and true. This is the reason they are winning, and they must continue to'win. It is. not only a problem that involves the 40,000 members of the typographical union, but every man and' woman who reads a newspaper, buys a union periodical, ^demands the union label upon printed matter, is contributing to the war, but indirect ly. How long, you ask, will the strug gle continue?' Until the shorter work day is established in every print shop in the country. The Duluth Typographical Union de clared for. the shorter workday Oct. 5 last and is still fighting for its de mand. A number of the printing es tablishments, ten in number, have ac ceded to the union's request, but there are still a number on thfe unfair list. The members of the union ask all their friends to demand the union label on all printing. See to it that it. is on all printed matter that you get from the merchant with whom you (leal, and if it is not there ask for it and demand it. It !s with pleasure the members of the. local union note the increase of work in the iabel offices in this city since the inauguration of the strike here. This is the thermometer that marks the rise of, public appreciation of the cause they are contending for— thp eight-hour day—and' every day adds tok the interest exhibited in their welfare' and the* consequent victory. The label offices are crowded with work and. have -never before had such a rush of work. Citizens of Duluth, it is yc«*» duty to stand by the striking printers and help them .to get .the shorter workday. They are contending for wl^at is just and right. Wages do not enter into the question-at all -for on that matter both side?.agree .. It is the ..eight-hour day that the printer^ demand and the printing' business,' can e£fi be ad justed, to the shorter workday.- Sensational For the most part representing special purchases and .some from our regular stocks.
