STRIKE LOSSES Will
TOTAL MILLIONS
AND THE END OF THE GRAND
RAPIDS TROUBLE is STILL
FAR FROM VIEW.
CONTROVERSY HAS BEEN ON
ABOUT THIRTEEN WEEKS.
Public Sympathy Continues With the
Men Who Walked Out-$12,000
Week Paid in Strike
Benefits.

That Grand Rapids has lost money
through the big strike of furniture
workers, which seems as far from
settlement as ever on the part of the
manufacturers, is an assured fact.
The loss, although impossible to esti-
mate in round numbers, certainly will
mount in the millions, and this in
spite of the fact that the controversy
mas been on only some 10 weeks.
Since the beginning of the strike
the members of the Brotherhood of
Carpenters and Joiners have been re-
ceiving union benefits-married men
getting s. week and single men get
ting "a a week. A conservative esti-
mate will place the number of mar
ried men at $500 and the single men
at 1000. Taking an average wage Of
S11 a week it will be seen that each
married man loses So week, while
each single man loses Sc. In addi-
ton, there are the carvers, who get
nothing. and the finishers, who re-
ceived union benefits for awhile, but
who get them no more. The common
laborers get nothing so that on the
whole conservative estimate of the
losses in wages to the men since the
beginning of the strike will reach at
least 100000.
The National Brotherhood Of Car
penters and Joiners has been paying
on an average of $4,000 a week in
strike benefits. For 13 weeks the
amount would total $156,000.
The manufacturers have lost mon
ey Though being forced to go outside
for help, in paying for special trains
to bring strike-breakers, in feeding
them and housing them and in paying
for guards. The outputs of the fac
tories have been curtailed seriously,
the income of the plants suffering ac-
cordingly While the loss to the
manufacturers is exceedingly heavy
it is impossible TO give an estimate.

Climatic conditions throughout the

entirely favorable to all growing

few fruit trees were winter killed. It
was the first spring in years that re-

than ever before, and a greater acre

The wheat acreage last fall was con-
siderably larger than in previous
years, and the crop was advanced to

July brought 1t to ripeness properly.
Michigan, in the past, has never
been considered in the light of
wheat-growing state, but this very ia

PATROL SYSTEM FOR
MICHIGAN FORESTS
LUMBERMEN TO ORGANIZE BODY
SIMILAR TO NORTHERN PRO-
TEcTiVE ASSOCIATION.
MUCH DAMAGE DONE BY FIRES
Each Timberman In Lower Michigan,
II 10 Said, Is Willing to Advance
From $1,000 to $4,000 a Year
for System.

Lansing-The recent forest fires
were extensive enough to bring tim
Der owners to a realization of serious
conditions.
II is admitted that Michigan so
skimps in forest protection that it
may be said II has the poorest forest
protective system Of any timber state
they share in the fault. The lumber
men insure their mills and lumber
100 per cent, yet they permit their
timber lands in many cases to go I'M
protected. 1t took another devastat-
ing fire to make them realize they
look to the state.
Lumbermen and laymen are up
to their necks" in devising means and
methods for preventing a repetition
of the fires.
Lumber is already on the ground
for rebuilding Au Sable, and the
framework of houses and stores has
been made. The pounding of ham,
mers and the tearing of saws now
make music where last week solitude
reigned. Yet, in the midst of activ-
ity, workmen are discussing the fires
that made their present position pos
sible. The question is how to get
rid of the "slashings."
Lower Michigan lumbermen will
organize body similar to the North
ern Forest Protective association
that is headed by Thornton Green of
Ontonagon and that comprises all
big timber owners in the northern
peninsula. The methods of this as
sociation are already being looked
into by lower Michigan timbermen.
They are strongly in favor of having
patrol system. There are 20 or so
important timber owners in this dis
trict and each it is said, is willing
to advance from $1,000 to $4,000 a
year for the protection of his prop
erty. This would make, roughly
speaking, sum between 100000 and
$3.50, 000-suficient to equip the dis
trict with a patrol system that would
rival in excellency the ones in Ger
many.
Lumbermen in the western part of
the state are willing to come into
such an organization. Since the fires
a number of timber owners in the
northwestern counties have come into
Alpena and the surrounding territory
to learn from personal inquiry the
exact amount of damage, and, if pos
sible, devise means of preventing
such a confiagration in their section.

Trading Stamp Law a Puzzle.


or all the acts passed at the last
session of the Michigan legislature,
none has received more attention
from the thrifty housewives of the
state than the bill restraining and
prohibiting gift enterprises. from is
suing, selling, or giving away trading
stamps. Hardly a day passes that
letter is not received at the Office of
Secretary of State Frederick c. Mar
tindale from some woman who would
ascertain whether it is necessary to
cash in the stamps before the new
law goes into effect August 2, in or
der to prevent the accumulation from
becoming dead loss.
This law, which was passed only
after long and bitter fight in the
last Legislature, is aimed only at the
trading stamp companies and does
not interfere with the right of
merchant to issue trading stamps as
however, that the coupons are re-
deemed by the company issuing them.
Every issuing of, giving away or
furnishing of trading stamps, coupons,
certificates of writing, and every ex-
change or redemption of goods or
merchandise therefor, by any person,
firm or corporation than that giving
them away, is made a misdemeanor
under the new law and is punishable
by six months Imprisonment in the
county Jail. or by fine of not to ex-
coed $1,000 or both, in the discretion
of the court.
1t was the purpose of the legisla-
ture that this act should be treated
as limitation upon the power of any
person, firm or corporation now do
ing business in this state and that it
should be valid to the fullest possible
extent. State officials are confident
that the validity of the act will be
tested and that the supreme court
will be called upon to render an
opinion in the matter within a few
weeks after 1t goes into effect.

Money on Hand at institution.

Inc interest on moneys kept on

official. did you ever reflect how
much these various state institutions
carry In their daily balances, for
which not one cent interest in de-

THE institution, as rule, will
make a requisition on the state treas
urer for funds, and the treasurer will
take the amount of money asked for
being paid on it, and the institution
will hoard this money in many cases
for months. AS a rule no interest
is obtained from such moneys al

At the Office Of the state account
ant it was found that the amount
now in the hands OF the various
state institutions is approximately
100000 to $325,000. The interest on
this amount at three per cent. year
would amount to $4,000. The records,

Fair Express Rates to Small Cities.

Chairman c. l.. Glasgow of the
state railroad commission says that
the new express rates which will go
into effect shortly in this state will
bring more satisfaction for the pub
lie. There may be minor inequalities
and objections to be cleared away
later
The new schedule. as compared
the old, shows the value of competi-
ton. In most instances the former
rate was down to a mileage basis
between towns which may be reached
by two express companies, while the
non-competitive points suffered under
a system of rates that had no basis
of reasonableness, and were without
any uniformity. Small cities with
only one railway have suffered most
Even more important than the re-
duction in rates is the requirement
by the state railroad commission Of
authority to supervise the rates and
service Of these companies.
The way is now open for a gradual
adjustment of differences between
shippers and the companies. In past
years there have been many irritat-
ing rules enforced by the companies
and the officials of those corporations
have often been accused of treating
the public with contempt. The state
railroad commission has acted as ar
bitrator in many of these matters,
but it is expected that under the new
law conditions will be greatly i'm
proved and the public will have less
