There are at present seven camps on the sBad

UNION ASKS RECOGNITION Y
~ a. - -
Electricians and Linemen at La Crosse
y Send Demand to Employers. =

LA CROSSE, VISA movement is on foot
among the union electricians and linemen In
the city to have the telephone and lighting
companies recognize the union scale of wages
The employees have sent demends to each of
the companies, but thus far no definite or con-
certed action has been taken by the employers
None of these companies employ strictly union
men, altho they pay practically the union scale,
and the men work the union day of nine hours:
Recognition Of the union means a: refusal by
employer to hire non-union labor, and this
point may possibly cause some controversy.
It has. just been announced that exhibits to
the value of $500, shown at the La Crosse
Interstate fair, were stolen in transit from
In Crosse to Beaver Dam. The exhibits, con-
sisting of fancy needle work. were the property
Of Miss Amanda Rissman, Beaver Dam, Wis.
At the close of the fair the goods were packed
in trunk and billed to Beaver Dam. Be.
tween Fox Lake and the point Of destination
the trunk was found In empty boxcar. The
contents are, missing. Detectives have been en-
ployed during the last, three weeks to find the
guilty parties, but 50 far have been unable to
find a clue. .

to himself. for he cool. and mildly but
earnestly insisted on Donovans acting promptly
