laundrymen to Organize for Protec.
ton Against "siIks."
A meeting of the laundrymen of the
Red river valley, both on the N1inneso-
ia and Dakota sides. will be held at
Grand Forks for the purpose of organ
izing a protective association. Those
who are behind the movement for an
association deny that there is any in
tention to raise the prices charged for
laundry work. They say that hereto.
fore the laundrymen of that section
have been victimized of hundreds OF
dollars by the dishonesty of agents
representing them in the small towns,
who have decamped with the proceeds
tor work done.
The organization contemplated will
be formed along the same lines as sim
liar organizations among the hotel
men OF the state and the primary OBJ.
ject will be to protect members of the
association from frauds perpetrated
upon them by unfaithful servants.
Another feature of the organization
will be the establishment of a pro.
tective list" upon which will appear
the names of persons who are in the
habit of not paying their laundry bills.
These "bilks," if the organization is
perfected, hereafter will have a hard
time getting their laundry work done,
as the idea is to have any member OF
the association refuse to do work for
any one owing another member.

individuals and alleged amounts OF
their increased taxes, charging the re-
sponSbility wholly to the Republican

Now is it not fair that the News
should give the names OF some indi-
viduals who have paid less taxes un-
der Republican rule. For instance,
Mr. Austin /. Crothcrs under Demo

OF $76.4S, while this year he will under
