What may be construed as a move
ment to restrain unions in their
methods is the proposal contained in
a bill fathered by Assemblyman Har-
rass, TO make it a misdemeaDor for
any person to obstruct the employ
ment Of men because of their con
nection with the Wisconsin National
Guard. 1t is also a misdeameanor for
any organization to refuse member
ship because OF such affiliauon with
the state militia. This movement is
the direct result OF agitation on the
part Of unions to keep members Of
the state militia outside OF the pale

the simple reason that they believe
no member Of a labor organization

Delivery Arrangement Will Cut Down
Expenses at Webster City.

Special to T1meS-RepuDncan.
Webster City. March st seems
likely that Webster City grocers, with
possibly one exception, will combine
so as to have one system of grocery
delivery serve all the stores which en-
ter into the agreement. At present each
grocer has his own wagon or wagons
and his employees for the delivery OF
goods ordered either personally or over
the telephone. This means a consider
able expense to each grocer. The de-
livery wagons of the different stores
double up" in great measure. that is,
they cover the same routes. Wagons
of several grocers are driven thru the
same streets, pass the same houses,
and in not a few cases the drivers stop
and deliver packages at the same
houses One grocer delivers at house
number $50, for instance, another takes
goods to house number 622, While still
another serves house number 624. II
can be readily seen that one wagon and
one team and one man could do this
work almost as easily as three
BY having the delivering of groceries
for all stores in the hands of one
party, considerable expense would be
saved and this saving could be equal
ly divided among grocers. But the
benet would not end there, for the
grocers would then he able to cut
prices here and there OH some articles
and the consumer would be helped
The grocers of the main business
district of the city have practically
agreed to adopt this scheme - with
the exception of one, and it is probable
that he will be induced to join them.
John C. Smith will probably be
the man who will do the delivering.
He will employee a number of teams,
wagons and drivers and will probably
contract with the grocers to deliver
all their goods for certain, stated
sum.

Last year and the year before thou
sands of road drags were built in this
part of the state. Many of them were
used for a time some were not. Some
that were used for while are in use
no more. A change in road supervisors
in somd districts resulted in the re-
lection of the unpretentious little road
making instrument, the introduction OF
which was accomplished by the efforts
OF enthusiastic advocates, carried from
point to point on special trains, and a
return to the scraper and grader. The
reason for the change to the former
method is not easy to understand. Oc-
casional examples of the persistent use
of the King drag almost invariably
show results that ought to convince
anyone of its merirs. NJ. III. Luck and
W. f. Hembd own adjoining farms
near this town, bounded by a mile and
a half of public road Together they
own a drag which they use on the
road in question. as needed, and there
is nothing in this part of the country
that will compare with that road at the
present time. One day they received
official informatio that reimbursement
for their volunteer road work would
not be Forthcoming. but that didn't
make any difference with them, and up
to date the drag is being used as, oc-
casion demands.
