LABOR ENTERTAINMENT.

A free show and lecture was given
Friday evening in the opera house,
under the auspices of the Central
Labor Union of Wausau, with which
all local unions are affiliated. 1t was
attended by one of the largest crowds
ever gathered in that building, many
people being forced to stand outside
in the lobby. The lecture and enter
tainment was given for the purpose
of creating a sentiment in favor of
the union label, with the end in view
of popularizing union made goods,
and increasing their sale. The speak
er gave a talk on trades unionism,
telling what it stands for and what it
has had to contend with, in raising
the standard of the wOrkingman,
making a special plea for the striking
garment workers of Chicago. He
made the statement that owing to
the increased cost of living, without
an increased raise of wages, there is
spirit of unrest i'm this country
which portends something, and that
it would not take much TO stir up
another scene equal to that witnessed
in the days of the French commune
Anysuch radicalism, he said, would
be fought by labor unions.
Pictures of union labels were then
thrown on the screen, as well as some
of the best motion pictures ever
brought to the city. There were also
four illustrated songs.
The travelling expenses of this out
fit were, until recently, borne by one
man. Now they are paid by the
American Federation of Labor.

DON'T NEED PROTECTION.

A bill has been prepared which viii
be introduced in the legislature soon
repeating the game laws which pro,
tect deer and rabbits in Northern
Wisconsin. 1t will have the backing
of many of the legislators represent
this northern section. The claim is
that these two animals overrun set,
tiers farms and destroy orchards.
crops, etc.
Assemblyman Knight of Bayfield,
says:
'"The deer simply overrun the set
tiers. They come in on the farms
and eat up everything, and they can't
be driven away. Orchards are often
times ruined through the work of a
herd of deer which get in and destroy
the trees.
"We can see no reason why we
should suffer simply to give some
sportsmen from the southern part of
the state and other states the oppor-
tunity to kill each other during the
deer season.
"Many of the merchants will not
make business trips which are neces-
sary until after the season for deer is
over lest they are killed by some
hunter while driving the road.
"Then there is another side to it.
We wish to get our state settled. If
it is to be used and advertised as a
hunting reserve, people will think of
it as wild forest. What chance do
we ha Ie of attracting settlers under
that and1cap? They will think there
is nc land worth having UP there. If
every deer in the state was killed It
would be better"

BRISTOL PIONEER DEAD.
Moses Johnson Widely Known in the
County Called by Death.

Moses johnson, one of the best
known Of the pioneer farmers of the
county and a resident of the town of
Bristol, died at his home this morning
at eight O'Clock. Death came as a re-
suit of natural breaking down due
to advanced age. Mr.. johnson had
been very feeble for several days and
his death was not unexpected among
his friends and relatives.
The deceased was born in New York,
February 7, 1881. He was a son if
the late Nehemiah Johnson, one of the
pioneer residents of the town of Bris-
toll and he came with his parents to
this county when small boy. Ever
since he had resided in Bristol he had
been active in the development of the
village and was known as one of the
wealthiest men connected with the
farming industry in the county. He
is survived by his widow and several
grandchildren.
Funeral services will be held from
the late residence at two O'Clock
Thursday afternoon and interment will
be at the Plank Read cemetery.

The little New Yorker, who is now
just below the 115 pound malk, work

McGovern admitted that he was up
against a. stiff proposition and said
that he will make every possible eff
fort to at least outpoint his Logan
Square adversary when they climb in
to the squared circle. He will con-
tinue his work today and will leave
for the scene of battle tomorrow af-
ternoon.
Coulon also put in busy day at his
Logan Square gymnasium. He went
through several fast rounds with his
sparring partners, and at the end had
plenty to spare to carry him further.
The champion now touches the scales
about the 113 pound mark, so will

commission of Wisconsin and in effect
April |, 1919, applicable to such trans
portatlon and delivery by any express
carrier or carriers of express matter
between such points within this state
on said date
The penalty involves fine of from
500 to $1,000 for each offense.
Mr.. Hurlbut in an interview TO-DAY
noted that in twelve other states re-
auctions have been made either by di-
rect legislation or by order of the util-
1ty commissions. He also called at
tentlon to the recent distribution of
enormous profits by express companies,
the Wells-Fargo having year ago, de-
clared stock dividend of $24 1000 900,
IN addition to paying annual dividends
of from % to 80 per cent each year.
Further justification for his bill is seen
Dy MT. Hurlbut in the fact that when
the WellssFargo company succeeded to
the business of the United States com.
pany on the st. Paul lines in Wiscon-
sin it raised its interstate rates ap-
proximately 25 per cent.
The profits of the companies are al
legged TO be excessively high, earnings
above all expenses ranging from 25 to
800 per cent These profits in most
cases, it is declared, have come out of
the people who patronized the compan-
les, for the express company developed
not from highly capitalized original
investment but from a carpetbag car

FIND MANY BIRDS IN STORAGE
Every State in the Union is to be
Asked to>Aid Big Movement Started
in New York and Being Carried to
All States at This Time

4 country wide campaign for state
enactment against the sale of game
birds has been started by the Wild
Life Protective association of New
York, the National Association of Au-
dobon Societies, and the League of
American Sportsmen.
Immediate extinction Of many game
birds will result, it is said, if protec-
tive measures do not at once obtain
general adoption. Literature has been
sent out calling attention to the fact
that six native American birds al
ready are extinct and that like fate
at an early date awaits fourteen 9TH
ers
1t is urged that the stopping of the
market sale Of game birds will restore
them in large numbers within half a
dozen years. Most Of the middle west
states prohibit the sale of game. Near
ly all the western states have laws
protecting all or part of the game
birds. Game birds are slaughtered at
will in the eastern states, while New
York and Illinois have no laws pro-
hibiting the sale Of game birds on the
market.
An investigation Of conditions sur
rounding the sale Of wild game in New
York City is said to have discovered
one dealer with the following supply
in cold storage: Snow buntings, 5000;
sandpipers, 1000; plover, 5000; snipe,
1000; grouse, 1900; quail, 1890; ducks
1900; bobolinls, (rice birds), 800.
Arguments advanced in support of
the movement for state legislation
against the sale of wild game include
the following:
Ninety per cent Of the feathered
game has already been destroyed.
Every species of mammal, bird, or
reptile, that is pursued for money MAX
ing purposes eventually is wiped out
of existence.
Fifty per cent of the decrease in
feathered game is due to market gun
ning-witness the prairie chicken Of
the Mississippi valley and the ruffled
grouse of New England.
Laws permitting the commercial
slaughter of birds for the benefit of
the few are directly against the inter
ests Of the entire population of the
state to whom the game belongs.
Game called "for saleD is not eto
satisfy hunger" Purchased game US
ually is used for overlooking in restau-
rants frequented by the rich.
The annual sale of 100000 ducks
killed on Charrituck sound, North Car
DINA, robs the people of sixteen states
of their rightful share of these ducks.
Special bulletins have been issued
to sportsmen, asking the cooperation
of the latter in securing the legislation
against the sale of game birds. Such
laws will not affect the hunting of
game birds by individuals for indiyid-
ual use.

CLAIMED PROFITS ARE TOO BIG
New Law Provides That all Rates be
Cut Twenty-f five Per Cent From the
Rates Now Filed With the Railroad
Commission

The lowering Of express rates within
Wisconsin 25 per cent with an expected
saving thereby $1,000 day to
Wisconsin patrons, is provided in a
bill of Assemblyman W. E. Hurlbut of
Winnebago county, offered in the house
this morning. Nearly all monopolies
have in some form or other been dealt
with by the legislature or railroad COM
mission in the past, but the express
companies so far have escaped such
action, although REMEDIAL litigation is
pending with the railroad commissions.
The bill seeks immediate relief from
alleged excessive charges, calling for
the enforcement of the reduced rates
on Aug. l next. I'D
Based on the earnings of the com
panies in intrastate Wisconsin bust
ness in the past year, Assemblyman
Hurlbut figures a saving to the people
by his bill of over $1,000 day, or a
quarter million dollars a year. Every
patron will be affected by the passage
of this bill. 1t provides in part
"From and after Aug. 1, 1911, maxi
mum lawful rates and charges for the
transportation and delivery of express
matter between points in this state,
such transportation being wholly with
in this state, shall not exceed rs per
centrum of the lawful published rates

Indiana Transportation company held
conference with number of promi-

trips to Kenosha just 10 see how the
plan will work out. The city has taken
no steps to meet the demands made by
officials of the company last fall, but
it is expected that the boats will come
even if the city does not meet the
conditions imposed.
