LABOR ACTIVE
IN BATTLE CREEK
Famous ''open Shop" Town Is
Being Organized In Every
Line.

BATTLE CREEK. Mich, Sept. -
Battle Creek workers for the first
time in the towns history as a food
producing center have challenged the
dlctum of the local Chamber of Com
merce, started by the late Grapenuts
Post, that this is an open shop town,
so in Battle Creek we have no labor
troubles"
The manufacturers did not heed
the ominous signs recently, and now
the town is being so thoroughly or
ganized that it seems only question
Of a few months before every worker

lean Federation of Labor.
Recently three strikes in small
food factories took place. but they
were speedily crushed. Encouraged
by the spirit of revolt manifested by
these unorganized workers, the labor
council made plans for a labor for
ward week, which has just closed.
No sooner had the plans been an
nounced than two large factories re-
duced the working hours from 10 to
nine. Several smaller firms made
concessions Of their own accord, in
a futile effort to stem the growing
solidarity developed among the toll
ers.
Several large meetings were held,
at which hundreds of factory en-
ployes joined the unions Of their re-
spective crafts.
While the labor forward week was
in progress the city laborers struck,
demanding $2.75 instead of $3.50 a
day. Their demands were refused
until the men Joined the union.
Through the efforts of the latter's
leaders the men received the increase

EMPLOYERS THREATS
UNABLE TO STOP UNION

LIMA, Ohio, Sept. 7.-When the
Cigarmakers' union began an organic
ing campaign at the factories of the
Deisel-Wemmer company, the super
intendent began to make speeches to
the 1900 employees. At his first effort
he stern1y declared:
I'VE know that a lot of you people
are joining the union, and I want to
tell you that we will let our tobacco
rot in the warehouse before we raise
the wages Of a single employe one
penny and we will close these shops
down forever rather than be dictated
to by the union"
Then the meeting adjourned and
about 700 of the 81 a week girls and
low wage men Joined the union.
At the next meeting the superin-
tendent gave forth the glad tidings
that the company had concluded to
raise wages

FARMERS SHOULD
GUARD AGAINST FIRE:

Farm buildings should be made
more fireproof, or at least less sus-
ceptible to destruction by fire.
During the past year 203 such
buildings were destroyed in Minne-
sofa at a loss of $299,12O.
A fire in a farm building usually
means a total loss OF the structure
and contents and comparatively little
insurance appears to be carried on it,
