The town officers. .elect held an
interesting session last Monday,
Mayor Haberstroh presiding, and
for nearly three hours there was
something doing every minute.
The new board seems determined
on a business administration, and
woe be unto those who follow
slipshod methods in caring for
the towns property! All the old
employees were retained at the
same salaries.
After allowing the usual grist
of bills and clamping down the
lid on others, the solons discussed
at some length the depredations
on town property by small boys,
and it was decided to offer a re-
ward of $40 for the apprehension
of the guilty ones.
The appointment of a day mar
shall met with some opposition,
and after discussing it pro and
con it was decided to lay the mat
ter over until the next regular
meeting, appointing Elisha House
in the interim.
Routine matters being disposed
of, Mayor Haberstroh announced
the following

Grand Rapids Jeweler Sues Unions After
Admitting Thier Support.

Ernest A Prange, an installment Jew
eler in Grand Rapids, Mich, has sued
the Trades and Labor Council and the
Building Trades Council, together with
their officials and the Observer, official
paper. for $4,000 damages Prange en-
ployed non-union building craftsmen and
the unionists asked all members and
sympathizers not to patronize him.
In his bill of complaint Prange says
he has business of $4,000 year, and
that $4,000 t60 per cent? of this amount
comes from trade unionists-
He wants his cake and he wants to eat
it at the same time, for he asks the
court to restrain the unions from an
nounciug that he employed non union Ia
bor. because "the action of said defend
ants has caused him to suffer great
losses and that in all probability will
cause him to suffer great losses in the
future, if said defendants are successful
in carrying out their design, and will
cause him to lost profits of $4,000 and
upward"

In the case OF Thomas Pier VS.. the

With the coming of September, the
industrial commission renews its weekly
bulletin in which various items about
the work of the commission will be fur
nished the newspapers of the state No
matter whatever else may appear about
the work of the commission from any
other source, the news given in this
bulletin can always be relied upon as
the official and authentic information
about the work of the commission.
The industrial commission granted a
rehearing in the case of the widow of
Matt Glinsek, killed in the Golden Cycle
mill at Colorado Springs. Testimony
partment and the commission will an
nounce its decision shortly. The case
involves one of the most fundamental
questions under the compensation law
It was case wherein very few facts
were known about the actual cause of
death. The question before the commits
sion is largely one of what differences
may be drawn from the few facts es-
tablished
The state compensation insurance fund,
administered by the industrial commits
sion announces that its premiums for
the first half of the new wear have
reached a total of S49. 600 The total
paid in for the first half of the year
viii be about $4,000 and the fund Is
now doing business of over 100000 a
year.
The industrial commission has had
made inquiries thruout the farcming
sections of the state as to whether
threshing machine outfits are obliged to
take out compensation insurance. in view
of the statute exempting ranch and
farm labor" The ruling of the commits
sion was made in a case over n year ago,
and is based on a number of decisions
in other states, siz-: That where thresh-
ing is done as a regular and incidental
part of the labor of the farm, it is not
under the act; but where it is CONNER
cialized and an outfit takes out a
threshing machine for doing that work
generally. that such work is under the
act. and if four or more persons are en-
ployed. compensation insurance must be
secured.
In the case of F. T. Howard vs. Frank
Taylor and the Globe Indemnity COM
pany, the man was bracing up a roof
which fell on him, causing a fractured
rib and puncturing the lung. and causing
a displacement of a silver plate which
had been put over a hole in his skull
due to previous injury. The commits
sion found that the accident caused this
displacement of the silver plate to such
an extent that it. had to be removed,
and the man has been totally disabled

Strike Prevention Bills In Congress;
 Outlook Brighter

(COntinued from Page 1.) test in the United States supreme court
 The plan today, as the result of conferences last night among presi- dents of number ot the leading roads was that no claim of unconstitutional ity will be interposed, but, should the measure be enacted, it will be studied by the railroad lawyers and if they deem it advisable they will make a test case in the courts.
 "If the men accept the measure 1t will probably mean the postponement of the strike" was the statement of E. P. Ripley, president of the Atchi- son, Topeka & Sante Fe. Such ac- tion, however, will mean but tenn porary settlement of present difficult ties"
 Preparations of the railroads for op- eration of trains in the event of a strike went on today notwithstanding the proposed legislation at Washing ton.
 The embargo on freight announced yesterday by every trunk line in the country was not materially changed today with the exception of the Atch- ison, Topeka & Santa Fe, which mod flied the embargo on perishable freight.
 Food prices in this city with few exceptions. have not been materially affected. Potatoes sold on the mar ket today at $2.25, the highest price in many years, and poultry was up two cents a pound. Presidents and vice presidents of 2 3 railroads, with terminals in Chicago have held daily meetings here for several days and it is announced that these conferences will be continued indefinitely.
