Deer Season Ended

The open season for deer hunting
closed Tuesday, and but few deer have
come in since. The season has not
been favorable, although many local
hunters were successful in getting
their deer. Thirty-eight deer were
shipped out of here on the 500 and
about half that number on the Chicago
Division; about the same number were
received by local hunters who went
hunting away from home.
Reports compiled at Milwaukee show
the death toll for this year hunting
season in Wisconsin alone to be 25,
with 80 seriously injured.

Foot Crushed Under Car Wheels

Gus Mitchell, a full blooded Indian
residing at Flambeau, about 20 miles
south of this city, while attempting to
board the west bound way freight Fri
day night, slipped and the wheels of
the caboose passed over his left foot,
crushing the foot.
He thought to ride the freight from
the w. c. transfer to the Paper Com
pany's spur about three miles west OF
this city and then jump off and walk to
Port Arthur, but in this event he would
have been injured, as the trains acquire
considerable speed at this point.
He was Immediately taken to DR..
O'Connor's office, where he was tempo
rarily taken care of, and then removed
to Stephenson's hospital where he is
doing we'll, the doctors entertaining
hopes of saving the foot.

A RAILROAD
STRIKE is BEGUN
Switchmen Demanding Higher Was-
es, Tie Up Traffic at Terminals.
Many Thousand Men Idle

What threatens to become one of the
most far-reaching railroad strikes of
the century was begun Tuesday night,
when the switchmen on all roads be-
| tween the head of the lakes and the
Pacific coast quit their posts. Freight
traffic is completely tied up and passen-
ger trains are running way behind
schedule time.
1t is expected that if the railroads
employ non-union men to take the
switchmen's places the firemen's union
will declare strike, and if brakemen
are ordered to tend switches they will
| strike
The switchmen are demanding an in
crease from 80 to 38 cents an hour for
day work and from "a to 40 cents an
hour nights, with double pay for holi-
days, Sundays and overtime in excess
of ten hours. At present they are get
ting straight pay for overtime.
At this time of the year the outlook
for prolonged strike is very serious.
The failure of the railroads to move
grain from the west will cause great
losses to dealers if continued only
few days. The inland towns of the
northwest have neither provisions nor
fuel to last any length of time. The
mills of Minneapolis have shut down
both because of a lack of grain and a
lack of storage capacity for their pro-
duct. The ore and coal docks at Sup
erior and Duluth are tied up. The rail-
roads are refusing to accept freight
and are exerting every effort to get
through that which is in transit. Train
crews are being laid off per force.
About 5000 men are idle at Superior
as a result of the strike and many
more at Minneapolis and st. Paul.

ALDEN'S PATENT
Is APPRECIATED
Endorsed by Factory inspectors OF
Minnesota and Illinois, Causes
Wide Demand for Shalt Oller

R. Alden returned today from trip
to Chicago, where he went to make
arrangements for the manufacture of
his patent shaft oiler on a larger scale
than he has been getting them. This
device has been recently recognized by
the state factoy inspectors of Mime
sofa and Illinois as life saving inven-
tion and through them brought to the
attention of manufacturers.
The Daily Sun of Waukegan, H.,
where the Alden's moved their factory
from to this city, speaks as follows of
the success of the invention:
| Goood fortune has smiled upon r.
| Alden q Sons, who are patentees of
the Alden shaft oiler, device for pro.
tecting the lives of employees who are
compelled to oil the shafts of machin-
cry in large manufacturing plants. An
| influential hacker has been found who
commands millions of capital and new
corporation is now being formed, which
will market the device which the state
labor commissioner of Minnesota has
pronounced the best device of the kind
ever invented.
One of the oilers is now in use in the
| Waukegan plant of the American Steel
and Wire company. The purchasing
agent for the steel trust in this district
has asked for prices and will probably
install the oilers in all of the wire mills
in this district. The great advantage
of the Alden shaft oiler is that the
shafts can be oiled by an employee
while standing on the floor and without
the use of step ladder Shafting
at any height can be oiled by the oper-
ator and the heads of great factories
see in the device one which will insure
immunity from accidents.
The new oiling device will be very
generally used, it is claimed, because of
the new employers liability act which
will go into effect January /, 1910.
This law compels every factory in the
United States to.use all of the known
safety appliances for the protection of
the lives of their employees. 1t is also
claimed that the use of the new oiler
will reduce accident insurance rates
very materially. The rates for en-
ployees who ere compelled to oil shaft
ing by the present methods in use are
said to be double other accident insur-
ance rates.

SEN. STEPHENSON
VIOLATES COMPACT
Butts Into U. S. District Attorney
ship in LaFoliette's District
Against Agreement
Special to the News-Budget.

| Special to the News-Budget.
| Washington, D. c., Dec l. Senator
Stephenson of Wisconsin has set pre-
cedent He has broken an agreement
with his colleague, Senator LaFollette,
in regard to the distribution of patron
age in Wisconsin. Senators Stephenson
and LaFollette agreed several months
ago that the former would recommend
men for Federal offices in the western
district of Wisconsin, while Senator
LaFollette should make recommends
tions for the eastern district. 1t was
only a gentleman agreement. 1t had
not the force and effect of statute.
But the President recognized it when
he allowed Senator Stephenson to re-
commend the United States Attorney
for the western district, and Senator
LaFollette recognized it when he re-
fused to interfere with the recommend
alton made by his colleague. Senator
LaFollette received a mass Of informa-
tion from Wisconsin, all tending to
show that the man recommended by
Senator Stephenson for reappointment
had not given a satisfactory administra-
ton. Specific charges were made and
some of Senator LaFollette's friends
appeared impatient because he did not
oppose the confirmation of Senator
Stephenson's nominee. But Mr.. La
Toilette recognized the moral obligation
of his agreement with his colleague.
He allowed Senator Stephenson's re-
commentator to prevail and permitted
the nominee to be confirmed.
Now comes Senator Stephenson with
a proposition to the Attorney General
that he, Stephenson, be allowed to re-
commend the U. S. Attorney for the
eastern district Senator LaFollette
submitted recommendation to fill this
Office several months ago. The term
of the incumbent expired in March.
Th e President would have probably
sent the nomination to the Senate but
for the interference Of somebody with
influence in Wisconsin. First, Senator
La Toilette was met with the sugges-
tion that the man recommended was not
qualified to fill the office. This objec-
ton was promptly met by abundant
testimonials from the best lawyers of
Milwaukee. Just who put in this objec-
tion has been something of mystery.
1t is believed to have eminated from
Senator Stephenson and State Chair
man Edmonds. But the nomination
has hung fire for several months and
now it has become known that Senator
Stephenson went to the Attorney Gen
eral with quiet suggestion that he be
allowed to suggest a man, lawyer in
Milwaukee, in total disregard of his
agreement with Senator LaFollette.
Senator Stephenson's action in this
matter is without precedent. When he
went to the Attorney General with this
suggestion the Senator was probably
aware that Attorney General Wicker
sham knew nothing of the agreement
for division of territory between La
Toilette and Stephenson. Nor did he
make any suggestion h such an
agreement existed, as it seems to have
been his duty to have done. The At
torney General was in ignorance of the
fact that such an agreement existed
until he was told so only few days
ago.
