the Italians sent back

The Kansas Salt Works at Hutchin-
son has reduced the wages of it's en-
ployes from $1.5O to $1.3O per day. Some
months ago a raise Of 20 cents was given
because men were going to war and to
the harvest field and the raise was nee
essary to keep any employees at all. Now
that such dangers are past the wages
are again reduced below the schedule
paid during the Cleveland administra-
tion.
