strikes, but their duration was COM
paratively Short. A middle western
clothing strike, in Chicago, however
lasted for three months and involved
from 5000 to $4,000 workers. Other
strikes of importance during the year
included the building trades strike in
Chicago, which halted building in that
city for time; the oil and chemical
strikes at Elizabeth, n. j., and neigh
boring cities and the Chicago street
car strike The Eastern Ohio coal
strike was settled just a year ago.
The causes of strikes and lockouts
were numerous. In total OF ,2OO
strikes 300 were for wage increases;
1873 for a shorter working day; 80
because of wage cuts; so because OF
discharge of union men; 40 because OF
employment of non-union men and 20
for open or closed shops.
The most significant feature OF the
years labor legislation is given by
labor leaders as enactment of work
mems compensation laws. The growth
of the industrial commission plan Is
considered of great importance also.
This plan unites in one authority the
administration of Workmen's cOmpen-
sation, factory inspection and other
labor laws. 1t was adopted during
the year by Colorado, Indiana, Mon
Unemployment received the atten-
ton of number of legislatures. IL
linois established commission on un-
employment; California and Nevada
investigated unemployment conditions
and Idaho provided emergency en-
ployment through county boards.
Public employment officers were es-
tablished by California, Idaho, Iowa,
New Jersey and Pennsylvania. I'LL
nois, Michigan and Oklahoma extend
ed their public employment systems
| Seven states provided for licensing
and supervising private employment
offices.
Laws relating to the employment OF
women and children were passed by
number of states. Arkansas and
Kansas enacted minimum wage laws
and California, Massachusetts and
/ Washington amended minimum wage
laws already in force. Eleven states
now have minimum wage legislation
arkansas and Pennsylvania passed
child labor legislation during the year.
In the field of safety provision the
most detailed enactments were those
formulated by the industrial commits

Wires Suffer from Blizzard.

London. - The postoffice officials
who operate the telegraph and tele-
phone systems in this country have
just estimated that it will take them a
year to repair the damage to their
wires inflicted by March's blizzard.
The delay is due, of course, partly to
a serious shortage of engineers and a
probable shortage of wire, but prin-
cipally to the unprecedented ravages
of the storm. London telephone wires
suffered considerably, but the main
trouble is in the provinces where
whole areas have been swept clear.

BAND DESERVES SUPPORT

The newly organized Sank Centre
Band is an institution of which the
city may feel proud. It was recreat-
ed late in the summer and now in
cludes on it's rolls all the old exper-
fenced band men IN town. Last fell,
in competition with crack bands of
other cities, the local organization did
not suffer from comparison. The
"boys" feel keenly the need of uni
forms to make cleaner-cut showing in
their public appearances. According
ly, they are planning series of pub
lie entertainments to procure the re-
quired funds. These will include
dances, concerts and varied musicales.
The first of the series will be a dence
at the City Hall on Friday night of
this week, Oct. 27. The music will be
by selected Band Orchestra which is
insurance that it will be high class.
The Herald endorses the efforts of the
Band as an organization to obtain nat
ty uniforms for parade purposes and
for showing off Sank Centre musical
ly. You are certain of having a good
time if you attend the dance and will
help along a good couse if you only
buy ticket.

INSTALL ROAD SIGN SYSTEM
Itasca State Park Highway Now
Marked Through Todd
County.

Hats off to Todd county good road
boosters! They have caused the build
ing of roads that are boulevards
through their region and now they
have put up markers for the guidance
of travellers, stepping out again In
advance of many more thickly popu-
lated counties. The Todd County Al
gus of last week says:
County Auditor E. M. Berg, presl-
dent of the Todd County Good
Roads association, with County En-
gineer S. r. Green, Dale Klemmen-
hagen and Ray Waterbury, made a
trip through the county on the Long
Prairie-Sauk Centre-Itasca State
Park highway last Friday and put
up 12O signs. These markers mark
the distance to the various cities ana
villages along the route; warn the
motorist of bad curves, railroad
crossings and bad hills. They are OF
metal, each with it's own post, and will
give service for many years. The
cost of the signs and the expense OF
putting them up will be paid by the
association"

WHIPPING BILL INTO LINE.

The efficiency and economy commits
sion is busy whipping it's findings into
shape for presentation to the next
legislature. What changes are con-
templated the members of the COM
mission do not seem inclined to make
public at this time. One thing, I un-
derstand, has been agreed upon, and
that is the enlargement Of the field
of activities of the state board of con-
troll. The extensions in mind, it is
said, include the custodianship of the
state capitol, now in the hands of the
governor, and more purchasing pow
ers. The board may be asked to do
the buying for all state departments.
The story is current that the board
also has been asked to take over the
buying for the state university, but
declined because of the knowledge
that any attempt at such would sim
ply start a row.

Farmers residing south Of the old
Andrew Miller place in Getty town
and travellers in general are incors2d
at the delay in the repair of the
bridge at the Miller place which was
washed out by floods about eleven
weeks ago. The road carries the bulk
of travel out of Sank Centre to the
south, yet no ATTEMPT has been made
at repairs. Travel is necessarily di-
verted through the Miller farmyard
and across a rickety hoard bridge
spanning the creek. The temporary
road is dangerous and menace. Hen

says he will close the by-road through
his place for traffic next week, unless

cousin of the bride, gave the mar
rage prayer of blessing. Miss Sher-
man of Minneapolis, college class
mate, sang two songs previous to the
entrance Of the bridal party, "God
Make Thee Mine," and 81 Love You"
She was accompanied on the piano by
Celius, youngest brother of the bride,
who also played the wedding march.
The newly welded couple took the
nine o'clock train for Alexandria, and
from there went south to spend a
couple of weeks in the Cumberland
mountains. They expect to return to
Grinnell, Iowa, Nov. and occupy the
spacious parsonage Of their church.
Rev. Edward Cross has made rapid
strides in the ministry and is consid-
cred one of the strong pastors OF to-
day. His bride is highly educated
and cultured young woman, well fitted
to occupy the position she will be call
ed on to fill. The young couple were
classmates at Carleton, and have
known each other for several years.
