My Dear Mr. Ribenack:—Replying to yours of a few days ago in which you expressed a desire that I send you your legislative record as affecting labor measures introduced at the various sessions in behalf of labor. I regret that I have not had time to go over the several bills which were introduced in the ses sion two years, ago* but your friendliness in that session was just as much in evidence as in the former session, 1913, in which you are recorded as voting "yes" on the Initiative-Refer endum bill, the workmen's compensation bill, that of Home In dustry, also requiring physicians to report lead poisoning, etc., also the Headlight bill which was asked for by the locomotive engineers, also the firemen and enginemen, all pt .which were meritorious measures, and all of which the Federation was vitally interested in.

"Whereas, Military training at this impressionable age would give an un due emphasis to militarism and to ideas of blood and carnage, and thereby serve to develop the inherent lower instincts which are latent in every individual and "Whereas, Labor must bear the burden of any scheme of military training and such training is incom patible with the aims and aspirations of organized labor "Therefore, Be it resolved by the Duluth Federated Trades Assembly, that it emphatically condemns and protests against the introduction ot military training in any form in the public schools of Duluth and that the Board of Education be urged* to give this matter mature and deliber ate consideration in the best interests of the entire citizenship and be it further "Resolved, That a cgpy of these resolutions be mailed to the Clerk of the Board of Education, and also to the daily papers for publication," UNION SHOP CARD 0 mmsg£$ It Guarantees to \bu rifk&Z'V.l' 1 "t structed by his union to report that John T.

Lewis & Co., Minneapo lis brokers, with offices in this city, wired the following dispatch, which was published in The Duluth Herald last Tuesday: "The threatening attitude of rail road leaders and railroad men has had a bad effect on the market lately and it looks as though we w§re going to' have this unpleasant feature hang ing over us for some time. Of course, if the railroads are going to be tied UP with a strike, or if there is a pos sibility of one in the future, nobody wants to be carrying much grain or anything else and everybody is get ting cleaned up. Personally I do not see how the railroad men can strike afc this time, as it would be little short of treason, in my opinion, and I think everyone of them should be stood up against a wall and filled with lead, but if they have it in their head they want to strike, I guess the only thing to do is let them go ahead after it hard and get a good, sound licking. In the meantime it has driven everybody out of the market, and as I see it now, most speculators are sitting on the fence looking or waiting for the situ ation to clear up. It would not make any more wheat In this country, but it would prevent it from moving out and it creates a decided feeling of un rest ahd uncertainty." It gives our members a Shorter Work day WSunday Rest and OPENING BULLY Four Speakers Address Fair Au diepce Despite Opposition of the Elements. Undaunted by the ragink snow and •wind storm,-about 400 people braved the elements and attended the opening rally of the Dry Ordinance Committee and Trade Union Dry league Tuesday evening at the Auditorium. The. en thusiasm and indomitable spirit ex hibited by those present was typical of the dry proponents and presages victory for the latter on April 3. The meeting was opened by the singing of dry campaign songs. Judge W. A. cant presided, and in his in. troductory remarks urged the election of men to office who will enforce the dry ordinance. Rt. Rev. James McGolrick, bishop of the Catholic diocese of Duluth, was the next speaker, and treated the moral side of the liquor problem. He presented a maze of statistics and con clusive evidence to refute the argu ments advanced by the wets. Economic Side. "Do away with the saloon and you have solved the problem of crime and corruption in the big American cit ies," declared O. J. Larson. "There is only one greater cause to fight for than prohibition and that is the de fense of the country against a foreign power. No business, no matter how profitable, can last unless it passes the acid test of the moral code. "We are offered $150,000 license fee for 100 saloons. And those saloons take in $2,000,000 annually. How's that for the economic side? What would you think of a collection agency that took in $2,000,000 of your money and remitted $150,000? I know men who will pay $10,000 to operate gam bling houses here if their number can be limited by ordinance. But I pre dict the liquor interests will not press the economic feide in this campaign. "The reduced saloons will eliminate the cheaper places. But' drinkers ma triculate in the high class saloons and graduate in the lower ones. The ma hogany pieces and cut glass make no diffeTence as to the result, because the boy is gone in either case." Effect of Iiabor. Senator Richard Jones, represent ing the Trade Union Dry league—the first one organized in this country— said that Duluth was put "on the map" last June, and he appealed to the people to see that it remained there, stating that the league would do its share in the campaign. Senator Jones asserted that organized labor had been the "right arm" of the liquor interests until the last few years, when the workers are begin ning to view the liquor traffic in the right 4ight, and have been largely re sponsible for many of the recent vic tories of the dry forces in various sec tions of the country. The senator attacked the recent statement of Henry Pereault, presi dent of the Trade Union We't league, that about twenty different trades would be adversely affected by prohi bition. He presented evidence in the form of clippings from labor papers and letters from labor officials in dry territory. He showed how labor had been benefited in Shreveport, La. Seattle, Wash. Tacoma, Wash., and Denver, Colo., where various crafts have succeeded in increasing their membership and securing substantial advances in wage scales. He put par ticular emphasis on the beneficial ef fect on the cigarmaking trade in dry territory, quoting figures from corre spondents of local unions. "You -can't vote the city hall wet and the city dry," said the senator. He also exhorted the drys to watch the "registration for the coming elec tion, pointing out the effective work along this line last June.
