Mr.. Pihale has been keeping a wealth
er record of his own during the past
twelve years.
Action For $500.
This action was brought to recover
$500 on account of the death of
Mrs. Wicks 1t is alleged that Mrs.
Wicks died as the result of burns
caused by gas explosion; that the
village of Heron Lake was negligent
in laying gas mains past the Wicks
home; that through bad connections
the gas percolated into the basement
of the Wicks home; and that Mrs.
Wicks entered the basement and
struck a match, causing an explosion,
which resulted in her death.
There was testimony to show that
the escape of the gas was caused by
water freezing and forcing plug
too far into a gas main. The defense
called Mr.. Pihale to get his testimony
in regard to the weather on certain
days. when the ice was supposed to
have been forming.

DEFEATED BY FARMERS
conscription Voted Down in Aus
traIia; Woman Also Against 1t.
UNITED Press Dispatch,


Melbourne, Australia, November 1.
1t is now regarded as practically
certain that the proposed CONSUMPTION
law, which was referred to the vot,
ers, is defeated. 1t is not the votes
of the women that defeated the meas
ure, but the votes of the farmers.
The women did vote a little more
largely against the measure to send
their husbands and sweethearts to
war, than did the men, but that would
not have defeated the measure The
farmers voted against the measure,
because they feared that it would
cause shortage in the labor market,
and they might have difficulty in get
ting the necessary labor to handle
their crops. Thus far the majority
against the CONSUMPTION measure is
about $1,000.

The BayOnne Strike-A Study

large number of strikers and others 10
hospital, disturbances leading to neal
anarchy, characterized the wage con-
troversy at the Standard Oil works In
Bsyonne, NJ, which has happily end
ed, the men going back on the old
terms. Sensational newspapers took
up the howl again against John d.
Rockefeller and the interests which, In
the popular mind, he still controls.
The opportunity to do this was obvious.
The injustice of doing il was not con-
sidered.
The absolutely unskilled labor in
these works was paid $2.2 a day. Work
like that of the "pressmen,' removing
p~araffin from the presses, requiring a
low degree of skill, was paid for at
8 .20 a day. The pressmen started the
trouble. The demand was that they be
increased 20 per cent. a day, and the
common workers 30 per cent. 1t will
not appear to most persons that the
Standard Oil Company was paying less
than the current rate of wages. Could
it be expected to pay more?
temperatures, patience, poise, were
shown in the closing of the works,
while the strike was on, while the riot
ing was progressing. The company, by
a different course. might have prolong-
ed the anarchy.
Every such strike is a lasting injury
to the labor movement in America.
The strike should be a weapon reserved
for grave conditions admitting Of no
other remedy. This is, indeed, the
theory, though not always the practice.
