D0|NGS Of THE CITY DADS
DELL BATTERS GIVEN CONTRACT
TO PAINT BRIDGES MAY
GET DRINKING FOUNTAINS

A regular adjourned meeting Of the
city council was held at the city hall
Monday evening, aldermen Hall,
Blake, Brown, Hoeglein, John and La
Fond being present.
Dell Batters was awarded the con-
tract to paint the Broadway bridge
and the north wagon bridge, for tho
sum Of $325. There was only one 9TH
er bid for the work, from q man from
st. Cloud, but no certified check &C.
companied his bid and it was also $25
higher than the Batters bid.
A permit was granted the A. w.
Lane company to use a part of the
street in front Of the new postof6ce
site during the construction of the
building.
City Clerk Schallern was instructed
to write the secretary of the League
of Municipalities, Of which this city
is member, stating that this city has
received numerous benefits as a result
of it's being a member Of that organi-
zation.
Alderman Hall brought up the mat
ter of installing public drinking foun-
tains in this city. He suggested plac-
ing one at the city square, one near
the L. D. Brown drug store, one near
the Buckman hotel, one at the inter-
section of Broadway and Kidder
street and possibly one or two on the
west side. Alderman Moeglein stated
that in his opinion the public drinking
fountain would be needless and
wasteful expense and he sought to
compare it's possible value with that
of the traffic guide signs, which were
used here some time ago. Other alder
men were of the opinion that the traf-
fee guide signs did great deal of
good and they also believed that the
drinking fountains would, be appreci-
ated by the public. Alderman Hall
stated that they could be purchased
at from 500 to $50 each. The chair
was finally instructed to appoint a
committee Of three to investigate the
advisability of installing the fountains
| and report at a later meeting. Alder
men LaFond, Brown and John were
appointed on this committee.
A representative of the Austin
Western Road Machine company of
Chicago brought up the matter of the
use of oil on the streets by this city
He stated that the cost of applying
the oil would be about $50 per block
including cost Of material, labor and
depreciation Of machinery. He said
that the oil would have to be
applied to the streets only twice a
year. A machine is manufactured by
this concern which is especially
adapted to sprinkle the oil on the
streets, putting it on with a pressure
The cost of one of these machines i:
about $500. It is likely that the city
will take steps in the near future tt
have the streets sprinkled with oil
The streets have been treated in thi.
manner before and the city owns 6
large oil tank. The street committee
was asked to look into the matter anG
to report as soon as possible.
Street Commissioner LaFond was
authorized to purchase two culverts tt
be placed on the road leading into the
city, from the south, passing the hos
pital.
The building committee was in
structed to have the lean-to at the wes1
side hose house repaired.
Bills allowed:

IRON MOLDERS SUED
TO DEPRESS STRIKERS

Bridgeport, Conn., Because OF iron
molders' strike against four plants in
this city, these concerns each demand
$4,000 damages, and attachments have
been placed on the homes of strikers
and their savings accounts in the vari-
Gus banks.
The Bridgeport manufacturers do not
charge boycotting, their claim is intimi-
dation. These cases do not involve a
question of interstate commerce, as in
the Danbury hatters' case, and will.
therefore, be contested in the State
court.
The manufacturers allege that they
ARE informed and believe" that large
number of employees are willing to work
but they are deferred because of threats
and fear of bodily harm. The manufac-
turers further state that they have lost
large sums of money through failure
to deliver contracts because of the
strike. The manufacturers imply that
handful of iron moders have brought
about state OF anarchy in this city
.'idt SdIi Iiot Dc ucdll WIFI Dy any ponce
power, governor or State militia and
that the only solution is to seize the
homes and bank savings of these out
laws, after which they may return to
work and the employers large contracts
will be fulfilled.
The cases will be heard by the Su-
perior Court next month and will be
contested by the iron molders organ
ization
The iron molders struck to enforce a
demand for 1915 for nine-hour work
day The present rates are lower than
surrounding cities and the Bridgeport
men recently formed a union 1t is
stated that most of them are, Hungar-
ians and that many were imported here
several years ago to smash the Iron
Molders' Union.
Former Judge Nicholson, attorney
Tor the manufacturers, acknowledges
this is a fight against unionism He
said: "We are fighting for the principle
OF the open shop. Injunctions against
the union are of no use The organ
izers simply do the same thing in an
other way"
The attorney admitted that the pecu-
liar laws of Connecticut make it possible
to bring this suit Connecticut is the
only State in the Union where personal
property may be attached prior to judg-
ment.

UNIONISM is UNSELFISH.

Kansas City, Mo.-State Federation
of Labor officials are asking affiliated
unions to contribute to fund that will
permit the employment of competent
lawyers to draft workmen's compen-
sation act.
The incident again illustrates the I'M
sel6shness of trade unionism In this
agitation the unorganized are voiceless.
Neither do they contribute money to
make possible law that will protect
both them and their dependents.
Eventually, Missouri will pass a com
pensation law that will apply to all
workers.
And, as usual, when this law becomes
effective society will overlook the fight
ing force that made the enactment pos.
sible, while courts will issue injunction.
against unions and employers will pleac
for the non-union shop to protect tn,
independence CD of their "free" work
men.

TEACHERS LOSE FIGHT.

Chicago, Ill.-The Board of Educa-
ton has refused to reinstate the sixty
seven teachers who were dismissed last
June. Included in the list are officers OF
the Teachers Federation and other
teachers, whose rating is high and who
were ousted without being permitted
to reply to charges or defend them
selves in any way These dsmssals
are part OF the boards anti-unon
campaign.
The teachers will continue the fight
in the courts. The boards action is re-
ferred to by organized labor as lock-
out Miss Margaret Haley, business
agent OF the Teachers Federation
said:
eve will pay lockout benefits in
definitely. We have $4,000 as a starter
and we can raise $150,000 in the next
fortnight"
The Chicago Tribune makes this
comment on the boards action:
Whatever the views any one may en-
tertain as to the Teachers Federation
itself, there can be little question that
the method employed by the board in
this affair was shocking to fundamental
instincts of fair play as well as contrary
to the merit principle in public service. y

HOW sEAMEN's LAW BENEFITS.

Duluth, Minn-This is how the new
seamen's law works at the head of the
Great Lakes, according to the Labor
World of this city.
"If it were not for the seamen's act
it is hard to say just how far lake
steamship men would go in making trips
with short crews and forcing men to
work overtime. With heavy fine at
tached to such offenses, there is bene-
fetal effect, in that masters will at
tempt to keep their crews up to the re-
quired standard"

ACID STOMACHS AND

By a Stomach SpeciaIist

As q specialist who has spent many
years in the study and treatment Of
stomach troubles. ] have been forced
to the conclusion that most people
who complain Of stomach trouble pos
sess stomachs that are absolutely
healthy and normal The real trouble,
that which causes all the pain and
difficulty, is excessive acid in the
stomach, aggravated by food fermen
tstion. Hyper-ac;Ax irritates the
delicate lining of the stomach and
food fermentation causes wind when
distends the stomach abnormaily,
causing that full bloated feeling. Thus
both acid and fermentation interfere
with and retard the process Of diges-
ton. The stomach is usually healthy
and normal, but irritated almost past
endurance by these foreign elements

and they comprise over so per cent
of all stomach difficult;es--the first

lie the acid and stop the fermenta-
ton by taking in a little warm or
cold water Immediately after eating,
from one to two teaspoonfuls of bisu-
rated magnesia. which is doubtless
the best and only really effective ant
acid and food corrective known. The
acid will be neutralized and the fer
mentation stopped almost instantly,
and your stomach will at once pro-
coed to digest the food in a healthy,
normal manner. Be sure to ask your
druggist for the bisurated magnesia,

GUATEMALA CROP
IS INCREASED
(Consul Samuel c. Reat, Guatemala
H;fu Nov %

(Consul Samuel c. Reat, Guatemala
City, Nov 20.)
Guatamala's production of sugar for
the year 1915 was 100000 quintals, a
uuintal weighing 100 pounds. This is
exclusive OF the production Of sugar
in the .orm of cake, known as
pamela which is wholly taken for
local consumption. in 1914 the out
put was 250.000 quintals; in 1913,
0,0G9 % 100000 quintals. The bulk
of this production each year was ex-
ported to the United States and to
British Columbia, small quantity be-
ing taken by other republics OF Cen
trail America.
The high price of sugar stimulated
the planters this year to put an unusu-
ally large acreage under cane. The
crop is now being cut. but the harvest
will not be completed until February,
1917. In the lowlands of the Gulf
and the Pacific coasts the yield has
been abundant, but in the higher
regions the output will be curtailed
somewhat owing to the exceptionally
cold weather that has prevailed this
season. While statistics as to this
years crop are not yet available, II
is estimated that in view of the in
crease acreage and the abundant
crops N the lowlands the total pro-
duction will at least equal and very
probably exceed that of 1915.
