THE DANBURY HATTERs' CASE
The Illinois Federation of Labor is
sending out the following cOmmuni-
cation concerning the panbury hat
ters' case to it's affiliated organiza-
tons:
''In the Danbury hatters' case the
United States supreme court decided
that the boycott was Illegal. Judg-
ment for $252,13O was rendered
against 1876 Danbury workiRgmen.
Then the court decided in effect that
the anti-blacklist law Of Kansas was
all wrong.
"ThUs it appears that employers
may blacklist union man, but work.
ingmen, previous to the recent pas
sage of the Clayton act, could not
boycott an unfair employer.
''To the ordinary lay mind it APP
pears that If an anti-blacklist law win
not stand the test of the courts, an
anti-boycott law should also fail to
receive the sanction of the supreme
rulers on the bench.
"The employers desire the use Of
the blacklist, which can exist only in
dark secrecy and the court deci-
sions favor the employers. The same
interests deny the right Of working
people to use the boycott, an instru-
ment that depends upon the full light
of publicity for its success-and the
courts uphold the contentious Of the
employers"

FOREST FIRES
The StOney River Country Fire
MenaCed.. Much Territory Burned

Every day for the past week men
have been sent to the country south
of here to fight forest fires that have
burned over a large area and is
further menacing much timber in
the Stoney River country and south
of there almost to Lake Superior.
A serious fire at Farm Lake is
under control by the u. S. Forest
ers and their crews. Many acres
were burned over in the Isabelle
country where a settlement of
homesteaders was threatened. A
large amount of timber has been
DESTROYED in the Dumbell lake dis
trict where the fires are still raging.
However, large crew is fighting
the flames. The St. Croix Lum-
Der company has sent out many
men and also the Forest Service.
The St. Croix company lost one OF
their landing camps Monday. A
fire in the Eve lake district near
Section 80 and Winton is now
being fought by crew sent out by
the St. Croix people. The Forest
Service reports that only a few
acres have been burned in the
reserves.

Taxes Paid

County Treasurer George H.
Vivian reported Saturday night
that nearly $5OO.OOO was received
on that day in payment for realty
taxes during the first period of the
year. The largest of the sum paid
was $84,771.38 by the Mahoning

several hundred mailed their checks
but the letters were not opened
until Tuesday. The cash received
amounted to $127 ,441.26, and
checks made up the half million

Fishermen's Luck

George E. Wood in his capacity
of game warden for the range gun
clubs, visited several fishing parties
at the Birch Lake dam and White

The Ely and White Iron Eighth

held at the Washington Auditorium
Wednesday evening before an
audience of over thousand people.
The operetta entitled The Out

the class and the play as rendered
was pronounced successful and
pleasing by the large number pres
ent. The main parts in the playlet
were taken by Tyne Mackie, Ella
Erickson. Harold Chinn, Jack

Berger Lindbeck and Frank Skufca
assisted by large chorus of boys
and girls. The operetta was very
tunefully put on and all deserve
much credit.
Supt. H. E. White made short
address preceding the presentation
of diplomas to the graduates. His
talk was we'll given and we'll re-

& Foundry Co. In some cases,
companies building additions in
order to be better able to take care
of war contracts are urging such
prompt completion of work that
the business is not attractive to
shops. An interesting feature OF
the machinery market is the I'M
mense demand for machine tools
from Italy. One large dealer de-
clined an order for fully 800 lathes
for shipment to that country and
other dealers and manufacturers
are not disposed to take on addl-
tional orders. Hence the inquiries
from Italy have resulted in very
little business being placed. The
buying of machinery for making
munitions in this country continues
very active. The American Clay
Machinery Co., Willoughby, o., is
in the market for hydraulic presses
and it is understood that it will go
into the manufacture of projectiles.
Some additional details i'll regard
to contracts for bars for the making
of shells have become public, but
little is known definitely concerning
some very large tonnages which
are either pending or have been
placed. The Carnegie Steel Co.
will roll l 300 tons, and the Lack
awanna Steel Co. $500 tons for the
American Locomotive Co.'s shell
contract, and the Carnegie COM
pany will furnish from $1,000 to
$4,000 tons on the New York Air
Brake Co.'S shell contract.
The placing of the Pennsylvania
railroad rail order has been delayed,
owing to the very severe specihca-
tions resulting in mills asking an
additional extra of $500 per ton,
making the cost $32.15, mill, for
bessemer, and S34.7O for open
hearth. Owing to this high cost,
the Pennsylvania may return to its
old specifications. Additional rail
orders announced amounts to about
90, 900 tons. The Southern Pacific
has placed 10000 with the Ten,
nessee company, the New York
Central has ordered Is, 500 tons fol-
the Lake Shore, the Chicago &
Alton has ordered 5000 tons, the
Chesapeake & Ohio 1000, anc
other orders, amounting to about
5, 900 tons, have been taken.

WintOn Exercises

The Winton Eighth Grade Pro-

St. Croix Hall Tuesday evening
before a crowded house. An
elegant program was given. The

the diplomas to the class in neat
little address. The Winton class

IRON AND STEEL
Business Increasing Weekly MANY
Large Orders

Steady expansion characterizes
the operations of the United States
Steel Corporation, which last week
reached 80 per cent of ingot
capacity. The actual output was,
in fact, slightly in excess of that
percentage and the present week
will make an even better showing,
says the Cleveland Iron Trade
Review. Two great subsidiaries of
the Steel Corporation, the American
Steel & Wire Co. and the Carnegie
Steel Co., are operating at about
80 per cent of capacity. While
the export business of the Corpora
tion is large. the domestic demand
IS increasing at an encouraging
rate.
English ferro-manganeSe is now
quoted at $100, seaboard, and sales
of small quantities have been made
at that figure. 1t is clear that the
English makers are conserving
their supplies and there is increas-
ing anxiety as to the ability of
steelmakers in this country to meet
their requirements. Uncertainty
concerning the opening of the
Dardanelles, which would make
possible the shipment of Russian
manganese ore, adds to the serious
ness of the situation. Owing to
the scarcity and the high price of
rro-manganese, the unusual de-
mand for manganates has become a
factor of the Lake Superior iron
ore market.
The American Car & Foundry
Co. is understood to have placed
10000 tons of plates with a Pitts
burgh maker, to be used in the
manufacture of cars for the Penn
sylvania system. Some additional
orders for ships have been placed
with eastern yards and three small
coastwise vessels will be built by
the Great Lakes Engineering
Works, Detroit. Italy is inauiring
for $500 tons of plates for four
vessels. The contract for from
5000 to 10000 tons of shapes to
be used in building Pennsylvania
railroad cars at Berwick, Pa, has
been placed with an eastern Penn
