stock was to do duty as strike
breakers.
If the company is able to grant a
man $4OO profits on 5000 invested,
then the strikers feel it is able to
grant them 81 for a days work over
the White-hOt melted metal.
"On April 1 we granted all our
employees a bonus for continuous
service, amounting to 5 per cent of
their wages, says the company.
"The employees did not learn Of the
bonus until May 10, when the strike
became imminent" says the strike
committee.
"a premium system has been put
in effect with the full approval of the
mOulders, whereby some of the men
make as much at Sc per day." said
the cOmpany's Tribune ad.
Yet one of the things that brought
on the strike was this premium sys-
tenn, which does grant from SIS to Sc
a day to a few men in order to make
the scores of others work their heads
off at the minimum pay"

MOULDERS GIVE THEIR SIDE OF THE STRIKE
BOSSES REFUSE TO RECOGNIZE UNION

Striking Whiting, Ind. moulders
have refused the offer of the, COM
pany to meet their wage demand
without recognizing the union.
The union demanded 81 for an
eight-hour day, with time and half
half for overtime work. The COM
pany offered to pay $4.75 for a nine
hour day. Figure it out and you will
find that the men would get $4.75
for nine hours work either way.
The men refused to sign. They
figured that S475 for a days work
was as much when paid under one
agreement as another, but they
wanted an agreement that would
insure the existence of their union.
1t has been the experience Of mOUl-
ders and other workers that when
they struck and were granted the
wages they wanted, but given no
agreement, their wages soon started
sliding back to the old scale. Some
firms believe it cheaper to go through
strikes than to pay fair wages.
"The company has had in effect
profit-sharing stock ownership sys-
tenn, open to all employees, whereby
one of the men who went out paid
in 5000, which amount was returned
to him with practically S4O0 in addi-
ton" said the company in an ad
in the Harvey Tribune in an attempt
to discredit the strike in the public
eye.
''Was the man who was let in on
stock ownership and got his money
back with 200 per cent dividends be-
sides one of the workers who was Of
fered stock in the company 10 years
ago as a means of breaking a
striker" ask the mOulders.
1--WE would like to be let in on some
200 per cent dividend stock" says
the strike committee in a statement,

Last Monday in the country near
the Millen ranch, prairie fire was
started, and it required large num-
Der of men and some time to get it
under control. It is reported the
fire was started by some fellow try
ing to do some blacksmithing out
side, and going away and leaving
the fire distinguished. Prairie
fires at this time of year are very
dangerous, and If one or two parties
were arrested for setting fires it
would likely end a great deal of
trouble. Only week or SO ago.
Mr.. Partridge lost two colts, the re-
suit of careless set fire in the
south country, and it is reported the
man who started the fire could have
easily saved the colts by little eff
fort on his part. The law in Mon
tana is very strict against setting
prairie fires and very poorly en-
forced.

ty in human nature is the same the world over, it will come to the conclusion-by using 8 little common sense, that not knowing the causes of factions in Alaska, it should keep its hands off our affairs. Its fatherly advice is out of place. The Alaskans are tired of factions and want to remove the cause They crave for peace and harmony. They realize that not until they pull together will they be able to obtain the help from congress they need. For their representa- tive to be we'll informed about the needs of AL aska is not enough; he must command the re spect and attention of the lawmakers. Wick is such an egoist; so pedantic that he commands neither. What the Alaskans should have is a man who would harmonize the people rather than create factions among them by insinuations, ac- cusations just for the sake of antagonzing some body.
 The eminent editor says that while some of us were dreaming Wick was working for rail road-that Seattle might get feed. The writer forgot that the delegate paid just for such purposes. If he accomplished something for AL aska, he accomplished it while servant of the people who paid him for his services. If Wick had worked for the best interest of Alaska, he would have minded his business, which to improve our conditions instead of creating fac tions, principle which we should all cultivate.

HE WAS A MAN.

The town is mourning. The citizens are be- moaning the sad demise of one they loved of one who was broad, charitable and generous to a fault Mourning for the father of their city. It was Mike who built our little city. It was his disposition, his temperament, his kindness of heart who made the visitors of thirty years ago come back, settle and populate the city of today It was Mike with his hand eyer extended as welcome or farewell who drew to our shore those now to mourn his demise and to think that he never thought he owned the town. There was always room for more. He liked company and never failed to devide his comforts or ease. Those who needed help were his best friends. He goried in helping others as thousands could tes- tify today
 Mike E. Martin was only human in shape, but he had heart that grew out of proportion when he saw needy. No man ever went to him when in distress who was not helped. Had he been possessed of a selfish nature Mike would have been millionaire when he departed. Instead he left practically poor man. With him money was of no value unless it went to help someone. But as big hearted, and as generous as he was known to be, none will ever know the extent of his charitable acts because half of them were covered in a desire to shield others poverty. That was Mike, the man for whose demise we all mourn

Club Of that place They have asked
the local high school to come to Pei

charge. and if it is found advisable and
beneficial to all concerned they will
go to Pella and give the play there
some time in the near future. Nothing
definite in the matter has been decid

The financial part of the undertake

who worked so hard for it's success,
deserve wonderful amount of credit
