We sincerely hope that the en-
ployeS in the NekOOsa Paper Co.'S
mill will not allow themselves to be
misled by false hopes or unreasonable
demands and strike in connection
with the general strike ordered in the
Fox River Valley Boys, if you have
any differences, or complaints, go and
present them personally to the man
agement, and we will guarantee that
II they are just and reasonable they
will be granted quicker by this method
than by a general strike. Just con-
slider for a few minutes what strike
will mean, not only to you and your
families, but to the mill owners and
the business people of NekoOSa. A
dead loss to all concerned and your
present conditions not improved.
Arbitration. or a personal cOnSidera-
tiOn Oh your differences will lead to
far better results TO all concerned,
than by a general strike. We beSeech
you to think this over we'll and try all
available means in preference to max
ing a strike.
State Inspector Thompson was in
this village Thursday and inspected"
our public schools. He spoke very
highly Of its equipment and recon-
mended a few minor changes and
cOmplimented the school clerk and
members of the board in the interest
they manifested in the school. He
also said 1.-THE teaching work was very
satisfactory and with the number of
teachers in your school you have been
fortunate in your selection. The
discipline was particularly good and
the methods of teaching, with a few
exceptions, were very good. The
crowded conditions of the several
departments will warrant an extra
teacher next year."
