AFTER GREEN AGAIN
Grievance Committee Of Iowa Central
Car shoy Employees Goes to Minneap-
oils to Carry Case Against Foreman
John Green to General Manager

Failing in it's efforts to secure the
removal of John Green, foreman of
the Iowa Central car shops, by prev
ious conferences with Master Mechan-
ic Thomas NJ Feeey and General Su-
perintendent d. c. Noonan, the griev-
ance committee of the car shops en-
ployes went to Minneapolis Tuesday
night to lay it's case before General
Manager L. +. Day. Mr.. Green has
been charged with abusing and mis-
treating the men under him, but when
the case was referred to Mr.. Feeley
he declined to remove him, altho he
promised to correct any of the alleged
abuses. The case was appealed to Mr..
Noonan, who told the committee it had
no grievance, since Mr.. Feeley had
promised to see that the cause for fric-
ton, IL any existed, be removed. 1t was
thought the case would then be
dropped, but the men are apparently
determined if possible to cause Mr..
Green's removal. 1t is also said that
a more strict enforcement of rules
since j. II. Chamberlain became gen.
eral foreman, and his appointment of
Mr. Green to be foreman under him.
has caused to be stirred up much Ill
feeling. 1t has been threatened that
a walk out might result in, case Mr..
Green was not removed. but this is not
believed to be we'll founded, as it is
thought a less radical element would
control the situation in case Of a
threatened crisis.

FCONOMY is of the most valuable traits
II. vet the freaks of this quality are more COM
among the rich than among the DOOR
1t is safe TO say that there is hardly a wealthy man
who has not some petty way of eCOnOmizing in
spite of his manifold extravagances He NAV spend
several hundred dollars for afternoons pleasure
yet he will almost invariably complain if there is
increase of fifty cents in his gas bill for the month
There prominent New York millionaire who
would think nothing of spending thousand dollars
IN day for his own amusement and that of his
friends; yet spite of this free handedness this
same man had pet scheme for ecOnOmizing that
was unique When he shaved himself he lathered
only one side of his face which he shaved with great
care Then, instead of athering the other side of
his cOuntenance with fresh soap he used over again
the lather -whSkerS and all-that he had shaved
with first.
a shaving stick costs about twenty cents and
lasts the average man about two months Let us
say that man ShaVeS himself sixty times in two
months. At that rate each shave would cost one
third OF a cent. But the from New York used
emily halt much soap for shave as the average
man, each of his shaves would cost ONLY one
sixth of a cent
Another peculiar mode OF economizing was that
practlSed by one of the wealthieSt men in Wisconsin
lie thought nothing of losing from ten to twenty
thousand dollars IN week S speculation was prom
1nent as donor to all manner of institutions and
was noted as liberal man. But nevertheless he

canteens from the dead and passing them around
