State that four of the men received

four $40 per week, and we're given
time and a half for all overtime.
It's mere matter of business with
the Mitchell Printing Co., as one of
the reasons for refusal, as to whether
it can afford to cut out a thousand
dollars a year by reducing the hours
OF work, and after careful figuring
the company decided it could not do
so and forego the right of managing

The men were privileged to remain

Before retiring from his position as

The committee decided to report to
the county superintendent at the
annual meeting in December prac-
tically a complete revision of the pre-
sent course, based on eight divisions
of nine sections each. The various
subjects were assigned to prominent
educators to he worked out in detail
and report to the committee about

In reply to your communication Of

Union No. Cos was greatly surprised
at the action you have seen tit to
take and feels in duty bound to re-
Ject a proposal which so effectually
eyadeS the issue.
Your first contention, that a
twelve per cent loss would result from
an eight hour day. is not substanti-
ated by figures, and leaves the im-
preston that the Milwaukee Typo
tletae figures had been used for the
occasion without due investigation.
This twelve per cent loss was founded
on a scale of nineteen dollars and fifty
cents. Our grant Of ten dollar scale
with the same conditions prevailing,
would mean an advantage to you OF
over thirty per cent over your COM
petttor. We also beg to inform you
that the cities of Aberdeen. Huron,

Passport to the North Pole.

A passport to the north pole was is
sued some years ago by the governor
of the province of Tobolsk, which
stretches along the Russian shores Of
the Arctic ocean. The official was ap-
preached by two men who had been
engaged to proceed to the north with
an English expedition, then fitting out
Their petition was for a passport to
the pole itself, but the governor point
ed out that the pole was as likely to
be in their home province as in any
other, that it was extremely unlikely
they would reach it and that, if they
did, there were no police there to ex-
anime their credentials. At last, how
ever, to satisfy them he ordered the
issue of a document allowing them to
pass without let or hindrance to the
north pole.
