After three years Of experimenting
the United States Steel corporation has
come to the conclusion that its foreign
workmen at Gary. Ind. do not battle.
Instead it has been found that they

Finding that its attempts at educa-

workmen.

they cannot be used FIR storage bins.

and Amos Musselman, conserva-
tive business man who cut little fig
ure. He arraigned the present ad-
ministration scathingly for extrava-
gance, bad management and whole

Osborn is another one of those
men who started in life as news
boy. Now he owns most Of the
Saginaw Courier-Herald and has an
interest in other papers. He's made
lot of money in shrewd mining
investments. He took a tour around
the world not long ago, just to pre-
pare himself for practical political
service. He has held other political
offices, such as postmaster in his
home city, Sault Ste. Marie, state
game and fish warden, state rail
road commissioner and regent of
the University Of Michigan.
