Lumberman's Exchange building dis
ptte was settled late yesterday with
victory for the wOrkmen on every
point. It is notable that the unions
did not compromise a single issue.
Their victory was clear and decisive.
The victory was won at the ex-
pense Of the Brunswick, Bake, Col
lender Co., a concern that has pre-
vioUsly been considered almost I'M
beatable when a labor issue was in
volved.
The Brunswick, Bake, Collender
Co., holds a costly contract to install
the heavy wood fixtures of the
Greenebaum bank and the Hugo
Schmidt cigar store in the new Lum-
Germans Exchange building. Both
are big jobs. When the contract was
let it was understood that the wood
work would be finished in Chicago.
It developed that the work was be-
ing finished in the company's factory
at Dubuque, Ia, where finishers work
for u to 26 cents an hour. In Chi
cagO a inisher gets living wage of
70 cents an hour.
When hardwood finishers, Local
No. 43O, took the matter up with J.
c. Schank, general superintendent
and heavy stakeholder in the Col
lender company, he laughed at them.
The Collender company does an en-
ormOus amount of work in Chicago,
and for it to pay Chicago fnishers 70
cents an hour when its own men in
Dubuque would do the work for 26
cents an hour or less would be to cut
a big slice in the company's profits
and hand it over to the man with
the brush.
The fnishers did not argue, they
laid down their tools.

stick so well together when the rights
of some of them were being assailed.
The dispute tied up tight all the work
on the building. The pressure be-
came too much for Schank. He gave
in.
At a conference held late yesterday
afternoon between Schank, the ar
chitect, general contractors and
union men, Schank not only con-
ceded every point of this dispute, but
agreed in writing that the woodwork

Will Destroy Letters

Letters written in Morris and other
towns of the county are in danger of
going to Washington to be sold as
waste paper according to new ruling
by the postal department which be-
came effective the first of the month.
The order makes it necessary for an
envelope to have a printed corner card
in order to have it returned to the
sender in case the party addressed
cannot be located. There are hundreds
of letters mailed at the Morris office
each day which do not have the corner
card. The order is as follows:
"Letters which do not contain
valuable Enclosures shall be returned
to the writer's so far as circumstances
and conditions permit, subject to a
charge of one cent for advertising, as
provided in Section $50 and no record
shall be kept thereof, except the num-
Der so returned. Letters not returned
to writer's shall be delivered daily to
the superintendent of the department s
building, to be sold as waste paper. =

REV. GRUNENWALD
LEAVES DONNELLY
Popular Priest Tranferred to St
Cloud Given Rousing Ban
quet Monday Night

Rev. Charles Grunenwald, for over
six years a priest at Donnelly, has
been transferred to a parish at St.
Cloud. His farewell sermon was
preached week ago and was received
by profound lsurprise and regret by
the people of Donnelly regardless of
church affiliations. His transfer to
St. Cloud comes in the nature of a
reward of merit for work we'll per-
formed.
Rev. B. H. Wessling, for two years
in charge of parish at Louisville,
KY, succeeds Rev. Grunenwald. He
has already arrived at Donnelly anc
on Saturday Rev. Fearon, of this city,
was at Donnelly to consult with the
new priest.
Rev. Grunenwald was formerly E
priest in this city and is just as popu
lar in Morris as he is at Donnelly
Monday night banquet was rendered
at the Donnelly hall and several auto
mobiles were required to transport the
Morris people who attended. Music
and song was the order of the evening
and there were many kindly expires
sions for Rev. Grunenwald.

JURY ACQUITS men
ON MURDER CHARGE
Glenwood Jury Reaches Yer
dict in 20 Minutes Following
Evidence in Mitmoen Case

Glenwood, Mimi, Dec. 4.-George
Nelson and John Jacobson, charged
with the murder of the three Mitmoen
rothers last May on their farm, were
acquitted in the district court here
late today after a four weeks trial.
The jury was out only 20 minutes and
took only one ballot.
This leaves the Mitomen murder an
unsolved mystery. Several persons
have been arrested charged with the
crime but none came to trial until
Nelson and Jacobson were arrested.
Their alibi, showing that they were
pursuing their usual business at Lig-
mite, N. D., at the time that the
murder was supposed to be committed,
was conclusive and the states case
was weak.
Jacobson and Nelson are brothers-in-
law and Jacobson is nephew of the
murdured men. The state worked on
the supposition that the persons who
committed the crime knew of the
wealth of the Mitmoen brothers.

Young Man in Trouble

Lester Patterson, a young man
from Waverly, Ia, who has been
working in the Morris restaurants for
the past three months, was brought
before Judge Beise in the municipal
court Wednesday afternoon charged
with the theft of two calf hides from
the Stevens County Produce Co. He
entered plea of guilty and was
fined $25 or twenty days in Jail. He
took the Jail and will spend Christmas
on the hill.
John Porten traced the hides to the
Splitstoser meat market where they
were sold by Patterson who said he
had bought them from a farmer at
five cents per pound. Porten says he
has lost five hides within a week and
each time Patterson appeared on the
premises hides disappeared. Othe,
and more serious charges may be pre-.
ferred against Patterson later.

STEINBRINCS HAVE
ANNIVERSARY DAY
Neighbors Turn Tables on Man
Who Wanted to. Surprise
Wife-Preacher in Plot

After three weeks of planning to
give his wife surprise party on their
thirty fifth wedding anniversary, Lud-
wig Steinbring, a we'll known and
highly respected pioneer resident of
the county who is now resident of
this city, found the tables turned by
neighbors last Thursday afternoon.
Rev. Pilgrim, who has been a friend
of the Steinbrings for many years,
was the chief plotter. Thursday af-
ternoon last week was the thirty fifth
Steinbring wedding anniversary.
Rev. Pilgrim remembered it and early
in the day called Mr.. and Mrs. Stein
bring to his home to spend the day.
The invitation was accepted and then
the neighbors got busy. They went
to the Steinbring home and decorated
the rooms in green and red and had
two fat geese and couple of chickens
roasting in the oven. When all was
ready one of the Steinbring boys sent
bogus distress call to his parents
who hastened home. Of course, Rev.
and Mrs. Pilgrim appeared curious
and insisted upon accompanying them
home. The homecoming can better
be imagined than described. Among
the out of town people who were
there to greet them were Mr..
and Mrs. L. C. Steinbring and Mr..
and Mrs. Bert Buettner, of Nashua,
and Mr.. and Mrs. Henry Ghurt, of
Alberta.
The afternoon was spent in music.
song, and social chat in which many
events of the past were recalled.
Then the company sat down to a
sumptuous six o'clock dinner and the
scenes at the wedding thirty-five
years ago were duplicated as far as
possible. Following the dinner Mr..
and Mrs. Steinbring were presented
with several fine gifts as a token Of
the esteem and appreciation in which
they are held by their friends anG
neighbors.
Mr.. and Mrs. Steinbring were mar.
ried in Wisconsin. They came tc

Travels Far to Turn Screw

Electrician Wells of the Wagner
Electric Co., Minneapolis, travelled
300 miles last Friday, to Morris, just
to turn a screw. His trip was worth
more than it cost the Morris school
board who paid Wells for his time,
trouble and wisdom.
For some time the electric motor at
the high school has not been working
properly. The people who sold it
failed to locate the trouble, the men
who installed it failed in the same
purpose and the electricians who ex-
amined it thought it was "out of
kilter." Anyway, it wouldn't work
properly and Specialist Wells was
summoned. After looking over the
lighting and power system in company
with Prof. Davies, Wells located the
trouble in the devise known as the
motor regulator. He turned screw
and the trouble was ended. Every
thing has worked fine since.

gathering Of the village folks to wit

of hay.
Shortly after noon Tuesday Wesser

Herman Merchan: Bankrupt

Bankruptcy schedules were filed in
the United States court at Fergus
Falls last Saturday in the case of
Theodore Dahlman, shoe merchant
at Herman. Mr.. Dahlman's assets are
placed at 81, 962. .48, and his liabili-
ties at $6, 589. .68. Dahlman is said
to have gone to Europe.
The Dahlman shoe store has had a
hard career outside of the regular
business channels lately. Last spring
a fire started under counter but was
discovered by people returning from
neighborhood dance early in the
morning, and was put out without
serious loss. Afterward burglars en-
tered the place and relieved the pro-
prieetor of quantity of shoes anc
rubbers.
