Last Twelve Months.

Organized labor, particularly the por-

tory of the brotherhoods, so far as
wage increases are concerned. OH
cials Of the brotherhoods estimate
that the Increases granted by the rail
roads during the year amount to to-
tail of SloO0OO.O00. More than 1000,
coo men are affected.

road employees begun i'm the fall Of

the year just ended. Every dispute
was settled ami.ably though several
strikes were threatened.

Henry 7. Griffin, vice president of
the International Seamen's Union of
America, said in New York recently
that if the contemplated general strike
Of the selmcn, longshoremen and 9th
crs at all English ports throughout the
world took place it would in all proba-
bility extend to this country, when the
country would quit. At the last inter

was present from the International
Seamen's Union of America, and the
question of Il strike both here and in
Europe was discussed.

it was not to be done. Cresco won
by a score of % to 0. DEBORAH at
one time had the ball on Cresco's
five yard line but the ball was given
to Cresco on the second down by
McDermott, the referee McDermott
also permitted Cresco to run locked

spite of the honest efforts of Mad

penalized but once.
Wednesday, Thursday and Friday

teachers will enjoy the vacation as
much as the pupils because big
things will be going on in Des
Moines. A mammoth production of
the oratorio, The Messiah, by Han

No School This Week.

The youngsters who are attending
the city schools think that the state
teachers convention is mighty
good thing, and are heartily in favor
of it, for on this account there is
only two days of school this week
Monday and yesterday. On account
of the fact that many of the teach
ers will attend the state convention
at Des Moines, and the others will
either go to Cedar Rapids or st.
Paul to visit the schools of those
cities, a vacation is granted for the
rest of the week. We think it is a
mighty good thing to let the teach
ers take these trips, and also to give
the children a vacation before the
cold weather sets in.
