RIDES FREE-oETs 80 DAYS

Some of the large lumber compan-

habit OF sending to the larger cities
for men TO work in the woods and
when such a thing is done the COM
pany to whom the men are sent, have
10 pay the railroad company for the
railroad fare, says the Ontonagon Her
aid. 1t is not an uncommon thing for
men to ship in this way and when
upon reaching their destination 10
simply refuse to go TO work, but to
leave the place and go to other quar-
tiers. This practice has been going on
here until patience has ceased to be n
virtue, and on Tuesday of this week
w. j. Mcdonald, who recently shipped
up here from Milwaukee with about
twenty other men refused to go to
work and was arrested and taken be-
fore Justice Spellman and sentenced
to serve 80 days in The county JAIL or
repay the money, the amount of the
railroad fare
Several others in the same crowd
Of men went as far as the camps at
Green and had their evening meal
then skipped, and If they are found
they will be arrested and given the
same dose that Mcdonald got.
This practice has been carried on
considerably of late and the COM
piled laws of 1903 provides that this
practice is illegal and any one found
guilty of the offense may be sent to
Jail.
