No Wage Cut Now.

AS a greeting of Christmas good
cheer to the 100000 employees of
the United States corporation, 40, T.
600 of whom work il the Chicago
district, Chairman Of the Board
Ebert H Gary has announced that
a general reduction in wages which
had been under consideration by
the management would not be
made
Chairman Gary gave this practi-
cal expression to the optimism for
which he is famous. He declared
that already there was evidences of
a change for the better in the busi-
ness situation. 1t is considered
probable that the stand taken by
the billion dollar steel corporation
on the wage question will be fol-
lowed by most of the independent
mills.
The announcement follows aeon
ference of the presidents OF all the
steel corporation subsidiary com
panies held last week in New York
at which the wage policy was de-
term'ned.
That Gary's announcement is of
great significance to the business
interests Of the country as a whole
was the opinion of Vice President
l.. E. Block OF the Inland Steel
company of Chicago, one of the
largest of the western independent
steel producers.

FEW CHANGES IN COUNTY OFFICES
Most of the County Officers Hold Over
for Another Term. New Ones Go
In Monday.

Monday, January 4 is the date
on which the officers ele cted
at the November election will
take up their duties. There will
be few changes in Iron county $
roster of public officials, most of
the present incumbents having been
reelected IN the county clerk s
office w. D. Tyler will continue
to preside. That Mr. Tyler has
given the best of satisfaction in
this Office and that the people of
the county appreciate his services
is attested to by the fact that he is
now entering upon his eighth term
as Iron county's clerk, and upon
completion of the ensuing term will
have served the county in that ca
pacity sixteen years. Mrs. Luella
Trier, who was appointed to the
Office of county treasurer to fill the
vacancy caused by the death of her
husband, will look after the duties
of this office for the next two years.
A change takes place in the office
of sheriff, the present incumbent,
Frank NJ Duffy, retiring in favor
of NJ. J. Connors, who will have
as his assistant in the capacity of
deputy sheriff, Fred Peterson.
The duties of coroner will be look
ed after by Joe Charbonneau, sue
ceeding Chas. Gutekunst, who has
ofiCiated as coroner for many years
but who did not seek reelection.
F. Z. Atwood will continue as clerk
of court, w. T. Lennon as district
attorney and John c. Flanagan as
register of deeds. w. P. Bawden
will oficiate as county surveyor,
succeeding Adam Devine, who has
held the office for many years.
The repairs at the court house
are nearing completion and the
county officers will soon have new
quarters. The vault fixtures have
been delayed, but as soon as they
arrive and are placed in position
the new Offices will be ready for
occupancy.

New Quarters for Jacks"

Last week the people of Mellen
had the opportunity to watch a
train of brand new boarding cars
switched out into the woods over
the logging railroad of the Foster
Latimer Lumber Co. The cars
were built in the local car shops of
that concern and are the last word
IN the method of construction of
quarters for woodsmen. The out
fit comprises a kitchen car, "
equipped with most modern ap-
pliances such as can only be found
in the culinary departments in
hotels of large cities, two sleepers'
equipped with steel double deck
beds, springs and mattresses, there
being no hunks but. regular upper
and lower berths each for two per
sons provided with individual ven
tilating windows, in the roof there
are also eight patent ventiIator
stacks. The two diners are pro-
vided with individual tables for
setting four persons each.
The entire train is comfortably
heated by steam heat. The cars
are provided with hardwood floors.
neatly painted inside and out, we'll
lighted and also provided with the
latest model gasoline lighting sys-
tenn.
This new train of boarding cars
will replace the usual group of
stationary camp buildings which
as a rule are built out of logs and
are used only for one or two log
ging seasons, while a set of board
ing cars on wheels, if kept in pro-
per repair, can be used indefinite
ly, as they can be moved from
place to place, over the logging
railroads, and as fast as the log
ging operations advance into the
virgin timber. If this new expert
ence proves a-success then very
likelv the lumber company will
build additional sets of outfits. and
abandon the use of stationary log
ging camps.

DIETZ' TERM is CUT.
Governor McGovern Commutes Sem
tence from Life Imprisonment to
Twenty Years. N

John Dietz, the famous defender
of Cameron dam, has a chance to
gain freedom in a few years, for
Wednesday afternoon Gov. Nc
Govern committed his sentence
from life Imprisonment to twenty
years. Dietz has now served forty
three months and as he would be
compelled under the law to serve
half of his term, or ten years, it is
thought that with good time" he
will be freed in a few years.
The governor also committed
the sentences of fifteen others
serving long terms in the state pri-
son.
The history of the Dietz case is
pretty generally known. The trou-
bic started in 1904, when Dietz re-
fused to allow the lumber com
panies operating in Sawyer county
to run their logs through a dam on
a section of his land. He dehed
the authorities and ten attempts
were made before he was appre-
hended, the final effort being on
October 8, 1910, when he was
placed under arrest after a battle
in which Dietz himself was injur-
ed, and Deputy Oscar Harp was
killed. Mrs. Dietz, Leslie Dietz
and John Dietz were tried on a
charge of numbering Harp. John
Dtetz was convicted but Mrs. Dietz
and Leslie were acquitted. An
appeal was taken to the supreme
court for a new trial but the deci-
sion was against him. Ever since
his incarceration Dietz friends
have made every effort to have him
freed. His case attracted nation
wide attention and he gained much
sympathy
