IndC DUlIQlnS Ll6 bosses aSSOclauOn
has violated its agreement with the
county and has imperiled the lives
, Of Chicago's poor.
President Mccormick seemed to
think the point well taken and PROM
ised that the matter would be laid
before the County Board this after
noon and immediate action taken.
Trouble also has cropped up in the
architectural iron line, doing its crop
ping in the camp of the bosses.
F. E. Thoman, business agent of
Architectural Iron Workers Union,
Local No. 60, has written F. P. Smith,
business agent of the bosses archi-
tectural iron league, pointing out
that by locking out the members of
the union, the bosses league had VIC
lated the agreement entered into be-
tween the union and the league,
March 16, 1912.
This agreement expressly pro-
vides that the union shall not go on
a sympathy strike nor the bosses in
dulge in a sympathy lockout during
the life of the contract.
Seems to me-" said Edward Ryan,
president of the Architectural Iron
Workers, today, that some people
just can't help going out of their way
to horn into trouble.
"Now you take some of these big
architectural iron firms. They have
work in other cities than Chicago, of
course, and when they locked us out
here we just had to call out our men
in Pittsburgh, Minneapolis and Mil
Waukee.
isn't 1t funny the way some peo-
pie aren't funny unless they're hunt
ing right behind the tail of trouble?"
Anything new today?" a reporter
asked Craig, the bosses walking
delegate.
Eyes" he said duly, haven't you
heard about it? twenty-five thou
sand men have been locked out by
The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1913-06-23

Now we have locked out twenty-five
thousand men and that means that
twenty thousand more viii be forced
to quit work indirectly"
It became evident here that Mr.
Craig had been reading the Tribune
not wisely but too believingly and
that the accuracy of his statements
must therefore be doubted. So the
reporter tried neck tack.
Aren't you ashamed to have fore
ed all these thousands and thousands
of men to starvation?" he asked.
TITS horrible" said Craig, signing
gently.
"Wen, don't you think you ought
to call the lockout OFF,"
what difference would that
maker" demanded Craig, indig-
nantly.
''Well," said the reporter, "all these
thousands and thousands of men
would go back to work and earn
money and be able to eat again, you
know"
sure" said Craig, "sure. l forgot
about that. 1 was thinking of some
thing else"
well, why don't you cali the lock-
out OFF,"
'"Ye-eh," said Craig, very myster-
iously, why don't WEI"
There was silence for a few min
utes.
SAY, young man" said Craig,
Frightening, did you hear what the
Building Trades Council did when it
called a strike on the Childrens
Memorial Hospital"
Yes" said the reporter, gently. 81
heard that one"
That's all them said the bosses
walking delegate, sadly shaking his
head.

REFEREE FINDS IN FAVOR

."-L .-I
Brooking, s. D., Jan. 1.-THE report
filed by TT. Law, OF Brookings, as ref.
r 9 gives the county seat OF Hamlin
county to Castlewood. This Is the cul-
mination OF a long fight for county
scat honors between Hayti and Cas-
tlewood. Castlewood is the present
county seat. In 1910 the supporters OF
Hayti succeeded In having the Ques-
ton submitted to the voters. At the
election in November, Hayti received
1889 votes. The total vote cast was
1885. The law requires that in a coun-
ty seat removal election, In order to
win, the contesting town must receive
t~wo-thirds OF the vote cast. Two
thirds OF 1856 is i, 257 1-3. and the can
vassing board held that Hayti had won
by the narrow margin of one and two
thirds votes. Castlewood disputed the
findings OF the board, holding that
many votes intended to be cast for
Castlewood were enormously counted
for Hayti, and the a matter was
taken to the courts. Referee Law has
lust rendered his decision, finding In
favor of the Castlewood contention.
The trial of the case in the court was
long drawn out, over $40 witnesses be-
ing examined, and the trial lasted near
ly a month. The referee had over LOO
pages OF typewriter testimony Il con-
slider before arriving at his decision.
The decision e the county seat
will remain at Castlewood, at least UNI
til Hayti gets another try at it.

MONEY OF RICH COUNTY
DOESN'T ATTRACT BANKS

Trip, s. D., Jan. 1L.-While It Is
known that the people OF southeastern
South Dakota are prosperous and not
heavy borrowers, 1t is not often that
SAC, 900 goes begging for want OF ap-
plication for its use, as is the case Of
the funds Of Hutchinson county. In
this county notice was given by the
county auditor that applications to act
Al repositories of county FUNDS would
be received up to a certain date OF the
January meeting Of the board of coun-
time there were but two or three bids
or applications in for funds, then
amounting to $4,000, and at times run
ming to yer 800, 900. The commission
ers thereupon adjourned for dinner
without having opened the bids, believ-
ing hat other bankers OF the county
who were present would take advant-
age OF the interval Ind ask to be desig-
mated as repositories or the balance Of
the funds, but when they met again to
open the bids, they found to their
amazement that the banks bidding had
withdrawn their applications. The
commissioners immediately ordered the
auditor to readvertise, believing that
there were banks In the state that could
use n would be glad to make appli-
cation for the funds.
Hutchinson county is settled largely
by prosperous German and German
Russian farmers. while along the James
river are some half dozen Mennonite
colonies, rich and prosperous and liv-

taxes frequently amount to from $500
to $1,000 a colony. Individual taxpayers

COMMISSION TO HOLD
HEARING AT RAPID CITY

Rapid City, s. D., Jan. I4.--F.C.
Robinson, OF Groton, a member of the
board of railroad commissioners, at a
meeting of business men here, dis
cussed freight rates west Of the Mis-
souri, river, He says that members
of the Interstate Commerce commits
sion are contemplating a trip to South
Dakota and will have q meeting here
at which rates on the Pierre division
of the Northwestern will be inyesti-
gated. AS a member of the board of
commissioners he has learned that IL
costs as much to ship fruit from
Spearfish to Pierre as Ii does to ship
lit from Washington or Maine.
BY way of explanation, the commits
sioner states that since 1907 the terri
tory west of the river has had no re-
duction In freight rates and that re-
auctions of from 20 to 40 per cent
already made by the commission ara
pending decisions on Finjunctions
brought by the railroads.
At the hearing by the Interstate
Commerce commission the rates on
lumber, plaster and cement will be
thoroughly investigated. AT present
the production of these commodities
Is handicapped by freight rates which
are prohibitive. g

organs were reversed, the heart
being on the right side, the ap-
pendix on the left side and all
the other organs reversed in To-
cation in like manner. Mr..

BISHOP ANNOUNCES
PLAN 10 COLONIZE
IRRIGABLE SECTION
Would People With Germans
From Europe and Middle West
Land In Hills.

Rapid City, s. ID, Jan. lathe TT
Rev. Joseph l.. Busch, bishop OF Lead,
spent q recent evening In the city In
conference with business men, TO whom
ne unfolded q plan to colonize q large
tract OF land near Rapid city with
German farmers, brought to the hills
country from the central west and Eu-
rope. Bishop Busch's scheme follows
OF work in% successful operation
in many OF the southern states, partic-
ularly Alabama, in the interest OF
which the assistance OF the bishop has
been solicited. He, however, with an
v single 20 promoting the interests of
his own diocese, prefers to bring a
colony here and thus build up the
Black Hills community and strengthen
his own denomination.
While in the city, Bishop Busch had
a long interview with President Put
nam, OF the Business Mems club, who
was able, having Just returned from a.
weeks trip in the Cheyenne, Missouri
and white River counties, to give him
valuable data about feasible irrigation,
projects for land under q ditch or by
artesian well methods. He also con-
ferred with President James HALEY, OF
the First National bank; President
Randall, OF the Merchants Loan and
Trust company George +. Schneider,
cashier of the Pennington County bank,
and Harry Wentzy, president OF the
Security Savings bank, together with
John G. Harris, Isaac w. Chase and
Tom Sweeney. While plans for the
colonization scheme are still in en-
bryo, II is desired that the banks and
business men of the city purchase a
part OF the land, in area from 1000
to 5000, in accordance with either an
Irrigation proposition or dry farming
methods. 81
All who discussed the plan as sug-
gested by the bishop were pleased with
its ~practicability and appear willing to
provide the initial amount OF land and
take payment for II on easy terms x
tending over a period OF years.
1t Is learned that in and around Du-
buque. Ia, there are a great many
thrifty German farmers, who are seek
ing o location further west where land
Is cheap. Bishop Busch contemplates

with a view to an enlargement of the
