THE CHAMPION ..0kAD 8EAT..'

The st. Cloud Press oflsst week charged
The editor Of the 2s~es with being OF .'ths
dead. beat persuasion" ~ This Vas most
unfortunate msvs on tho part Of the '.Au.
Geographical" for If there il dead.beaa
concern in the country it il this same Ress.
The editor; Of the 1ise. rstorts sharply this
week and with facts. Hs shows that,
while hs hiss paid his own emplo, ess, tho
P'ess Company has systematically de-
frsuded the men who have worked for it
and who arc dependent On their weekly
wages for their bread-supporting his
charges with tho sfidavits Of John Pen.
n'ngton and Otis Briggs, who arc among
the numerous sufsrers.. A strike Of the
oomposltors has been worry common 90.
currenoe, ~ 1t was tho only way the men
could get any part Of their wager. ). =
He also states that number efthe mer-
chants in this city have been and are CON-
p ellsd to advertise in tho Pyess to obtain
even IN appssrsnce Of payment for goods
obtained BY the Press Company. This is
not oil ; We have the. statements Of mer-
shasts that, since Mr.. Mcclure took the
entire charge Of the Office, credits for
goods obtained BY and money paid tho CON.
Germ have been denied them, and that sl.
tnoug b the Company was in debt to them,
they were glad to exchange receipts in full,
and got rid Of the thing.
Tho Times also states that whom Mr..
Berry, the Business Manager Of the Pres,
who was discharged while confined to his
bed by sickness contracted. from over.
work for that Company, asked for . load
II wood, It WAS refused until some Of the
boys in the Office agreed to become per-
'onslly responsible for the pay for it.
1t further states, and truly, that.T. C
Mcclure and n. P. Clarke, refused to pay
their personal property tax last year
something over $500-until after tho Sher-
if had attached lot-of their lumber snd
was about to sell it At public sale.
These statements, all Of which are ,us.
ceptible Of proof, might be multiplied 81
most indefinitely, but enough has been
said to show that the st. Cloud Pres Com
pany, Of which T. G. Mcclure is the figure
head, is tho champion dead:beat concern
in tho oountry.
