THAT DULUTH _MM’S “UNION”. We read with keen lntore;t. and no little amusement, the United Press dispatch yesterday, which stated that the newspapermen of Duluth and Superior were organizing a “union” and on Sunday were to unite with the American Federation of Labor. The dispatch also stated that the news- papermen were demanding a minimum: of ‘$30 per week. We recalled that a fow years ago this same thing was attempted in an Ohio city of importance and what happened as a result held more of the comic opera than anything serious. The -newswriters became possessed that it was up to them to organize into a really, truly labor organization and they went to it. They made their demands and the M. E. and the B, M. did what any other in their positions would, hung out the “Nothing Doing"’ sign. Then the scribes and others interested weént on a “strike’” and others were employed to take their places. :: . Then the machine operators refused to set the “non-union” copy. Then it was up to the makeup mnot to handle the non union set slugs, and the gtereotypers balked on handling non-union made up forms and the press- men refused to run non-union cast plates ete, etc, etc, and for a short time the plant was “up in the air.” : i i Then it was that some boob remembered the typographical union boys had an agreement with the plant, eo did the ‘makeup and: the rest of the undon printers, and so did the stereotypers and the pressmen ete, etc, and the whole works blew up higher than any war plane ever soared. The result was several new faces in the news room. Not a bad idea at times, either. We remember a'time when this stunt was given serious consideration. It even became lodged in the heads of several of the boys in “Chi”, but that was as far as it progressed. ik i In the News-Tribune and the Herald, ‘Duluth has two as good news- papers as can be found anywhere, while Superior is also well represented by its press. ‘e 4 We are unacquainted with the exocuglves of either the News-Tribune or the Hérald, but we can imagine the managing editor taking one good slant at the spokesman for the new “union” when he assumes a confident air and approaches the august presence.of the veteran and presents the demands for recognition of the “union” and the minimum wage. We can turn the x-ray into his mind and see what is there. We can 'see him hark back and take one swift glance at the past when he was working like a pup and ‘“going through 'the mill'> to make good, and we can diagnose his opinions with reference to some of those *$30 per: week union reporters’” and he is going to'cogitate, ‘'boy; if you were getting what you are really worth to this newspaper, Hoover wouldn’t have to pay any attention to you’'. # We can also imagine how a seasoned political writer, a capable city hall man or central police’ station man, or a good sports editor who knows his business, and many others, would be delighteg to kick into the “‘union” with a lot of errand boys and ‘‘pic” chasers. 5 The man who is worth $30 will: get it. ~If he is worth $50 to the paper he will get it. If heis worth $100 he will get it. And if the employe is not getting it the chances are he is not worth it or the position is paying all that it is worth. It is-up. tor him to say what his position shall be and what his salary shall be by what he is capable of delivering and does. CREELS “NEWS MILL” IS UNMASKED. ; ¢ {(American Press). - A Journal for Newspaper Publishers. . Congress- gasped whei ‘it learned the early:.part of this week that the Creel news mill—technically known as the Committee on Public Informa- tion—had {nformed the public to the tune of $1,350,000 out of the public purse. up to $65,366. Books and phamplets have cost $81,418; the film division ‘has cost $7,678, the picture division $1,082; the distribution of publications $7,528, syndicate features $2,323, the average weekly payroll is $5,333.26 and four minute men have cost $14,199 while the committee has expended $1,285,500 for “international work in allied, neutral and enemy countries.” There have been printed 12,000,000 books and pamphlets. There are more figures to come, but country publishers may pause here to consider how much the information they have received from the Creel committee has been worth to them. Some senators and congressmen now in an inquisitive mood are preparing to find out if the press- has not re- ceived value where the country has received approximately half a million dollars’ worth of “public information”.from the Creel bureau. The most cheering part of-the report comes from Mr. Creel, who an- nounces he does not consider himself a censor. He says he was opposed fto the publication of the Official Bulletin, but that it was forced on him. Now, however, he believes ‘in its great unsefulness, It is posted daily 1_n every post office, he says; every member of Congress gets a copy,all the army and navy posts get it, and a number of individuals have the pleasure of reading it. . . £ Representative Gillett, Republican leader, discussing the- urgent -de- ficlency bill, attacked generally the policy of secret expenditures, and in doing eo singled out for special mention the Committee on Public Inform- ation and the secretary of the treasury. He declared that the house should know what salaries were paid to employes in the Public Information Com-| ‘mittee, and that Congress should be advised also how the secretary of the treasury had epen the many millions alloted to him in negotiating tho Liberty Loan bonds. L i ““The longer the publicity is delayed in these matters,” added Gillett, “the more pitiless it will be when it comes. Germany, we know, has a sub- 2 ‘eid‘l‘l‘ed press, and it may be necessary that in: meeting her we should have R subsidized press. But I think 1f we do we should know what sadaries are being paid and the details of the estimates. ' We ought to know how the money has been spent before we authorize more expenditures.” " In his reference to a subsidized press he meant the Official Bulletin. Gillett said it was'a ead commentary upon ourinstitutions that the ent should be running & niewspaper which did not furnish inform- ation .that the public, which -was paying the bills, was entitled to have. The controversy has culminated in the passing of a resolution by the sénate requesting the Committee on Public Information to inform the sen- [ate of the amount of salaries and allowances granted by the chairman, members.of his staff or others.and.as-to.the committee’s expenses gener- ally. The resolution was introduced by Senator Gallinger, the Républican leader. Y . ONE PHASE OF THE RED CROSS CAMPAIGN. _From the partial financial report handed to the Pioneer of the recent Red Cross membership campaign, the idea might be gleaned that the Bel- trami county chapter has at present over a thousand dollars in ite treasury for use of the chapter. . This is hardly the status of the collections, however, for a portion of them goes to the national organization, similar to what other chapters will forward. However, the drive was a great success and the local éhapter made a handsome showing. , A TR R The support of the Red Cross is an unceasing task during the war and ‘Beltrami county chapter is keeping up its end in a most creditable manner.
