LABOR TROUBLES THREATEN.

There is a strike on in the city snd a
possibility of very much larger one
on April lst. The freight handlers at
the G. & N. w. Ry. Co. depot are out.
They have been receiving SlS0 per
day and demanded 1925 which they say
is the minimum living wage. When
their demands were refused they walk
ed out. Section hands in the city have
joined them. Laborers imported from
nearby stations to take their places
quit after few hours OF work
All the unions in the building trades
have served notice on contractors Of
largely increased wages for April lst.
The increases range from 10 to 80 per
cent. n these demands are not met
there will probably be tie.up of all
building operations. With an exten.
slve building campaign planned for the
city prolonged labor war would play
havoc this spring. Moulders and allied
trades are also said TO be contemplate
ing demands that employers may not
grant.

MONEY HOARDS IN THE HOME.

When Mrs. Fred Pingel died last
Sunday at her home on North 9th
street, her husband appeared to be
penniless. Because Of his advanced
age the wife has for long time been
the business manager. From remarks
she has made at times neighbors be-
lieved that she had some money about
the house. She had some. She mad 1t

hoard of coins and bills. a bank
clerk was called liz and helped ana the
accumulations from bureau drawers,
mattresses, holes and like places total
ed over $1,000. The old people are said
to have horror OF banks since the two
disastrous crashes In the city about 25
years ago. 1t wasn't drawing any in

PRELIMINARY EXAMINATION

fhGlIlMl n AN In AMI In AIlON
Tile date for the preliminary course
of study examination has been set for
March 1920. Questions will be mail
ed out so that they will reach the teach
ers not later than the Saturday before.
Brief instructions will be sent with the
questions. The main purpose of this
examination is to give the teachers
set Of questions made out by the county
superintendent that may aid teachers
to hit harder the essentials il they were
neglected, and to determine in part at
least whether such pupils are ready for
the diploma examination. Teachers
are advised not to send pupils to the
regular diploma examination unless
they are reasonably prepared to take it.
Some pupils of course may and should
take several subjects in the seventh
grade so that they may finish the next
year. The names and standings of
those who do reasonably well at this
examination and who the teacher re-
commends for the diploma examination
should be sent to the county superin-
tendent Immediately after the prelimin-
airy examination.

CoNTEsTs-CoMMUNITY SINGING

From present interest shown we will
have another year of successful con-
tests. Contests will be conducted in
the subjects as mentioned in the Janu-
ary bulletin.
One new feature will be injected into
the work and that is the matter of COM
munity singing. This will be conduct
ed in connection with all contests.
America, on Wisconsin, OH How Love-
ly is the Evening (Round) and, Row,
Row, Row your Boat (Round) will be
sung if time permits. All teachers
should drill up their pupils in these
songs so that we can at least start the
singing with them successfully in hopes
that all the older people will fall in
and sing. Each teacher should have
her pupils make several copies of these
songs for distribution. The superin-
tendent will also have several copies
typewriter for distribution.

CITY POLITICS.

Up to Wednesday morning there were
but two entries in the primary race
for Mayor. Papers have been cir
culated for Aldermen Schuetze and
Georgenson as mayoralty candidates.
Schuetze was alone until meeting cf
forces who have in the past supported
mayor Stolze decided upon Georgenson
and he assumed the burden OF leader
ship OF these forces and permitted his
papers to go out. Efforts of the "busi-
ness" element TO induce another can
didate to get into the field have not
resulted in anything tangible. Mr.
Thos. Higgins who recently disposed
of his local street railway properties
and who is on d vacation at Memphis,
Tenn, is said to be receptive candi-
date and Mr.. John Schroeder of the
Building Supply Co. has been urged
10 toss his hat into the ring. 1t is
likely that at least one more candidates
will be on the primary ballot. Charles
G.. Olson will be on the pri.
mary ballot for treasurer against
incumbent FRANKIE. Aldermanic can.
didates are springing up in every
ward. The seven whose terms expire
will all again be candidates aud pro-
babIy all will have opposition. The
time to file nomination papers expires
March 9th and the primary is on
March 20th.

OBITUARY.

Henry Bruins died Sunday evening
at his home at South 10th street. His
death was caused by pneumonia after
an illness OF less than two weeks. On
ly two weeks ago he published an article
attacking the proposed commission
government, virtually the only anti
commission publicity attempted, aside
from letters to the press.
He was born in Alto, Wisconsin, in
1853 and came to Manitowoc thirteen
years ago. He was almost at the max
ing of the present Socialist party and
was consistent propogandist up to
his death. He came into prominence
by being elected as Socialist to the
city council from the 9Th ward on the
rising tide of Stolzeism in the first
Stolze campaign. After his defeat for
reelection he was never elected to Of
flee although loyalty to his principles
made him lead any forlorn hope that
the comrades" pointed out. His con-
tinual work in his 'class conscious"
propaganda, his fearlessness and
frankness, his constant presence on
the firing line led to his name being
synonymous with extreme, uncompro-
missing, party socialism in The city. He
worked for many months at the bust.

absolutely devoid of hatred or malice.
He was probably the most thorough
student OF radical literature in the
city. He knew all the classical treat

ITEMS FROM THE PILOT FILES.
FORTY.FOUR YEARS AGO.

DIED.-On Thursday, at I o'clock, A.
M. Feb. 9th. 1873, at the Settlement
in the town of Eaton, the Rev Father
Ambrose Oswald, aged u years. The
deceased was universally beloved, not
only by his flock, but was widely known
and revered all over the County AS the
founder of the church, nunnery, and
other religious institutions at the set
tlement. The close relations of a
Catholic priest to his people gives
him a power for good which the late
Rev. Father ever used with the great
est discretion and affectionate interest,
both in affairs temporal and spiritual
of all under his care. His loss will be
deeply felt and sincerely mourned by
all those, who for almost quarter of
a century, have received consolation,
advice and warning at his hands, as
priest, guide, and friend. The funeral
services were held Monday, March 3rd
at the new church and concourse Of
over two thousand people attended tes-
tifying the respect and affection in
which he was held throughout the
County. Father Mutz officiated, aided
in the solemn and impressive ceremou-
les of the church by thirteen priests
from the different parishes in this part
of the State.
We can give nothing like an extend
ed or minute description OF his life or
the work in which his life was spent,
as the attendant grief and confusion
was such, that we could not gather the
necessary data for the details. BuG the
Aourishing condition of the settlement,
its religious institutions, and his repu.
tation IN curing the sick, who came
from far and near to be healed, will
speak eloquently for him and endear
his memory co thousands. In him the
church has lost a weli-beloved son, a
constant worker 10 her cause and his
fock and parish faithful guide, who
has speEt years of unselfish devotion to
their best interest.

TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO

James Peppard of Meeme sold his
farm by auction on Saturday last for
S5,025. The farm consists of 80 acres
and lies on the Green Bay road. Wen.
del Walterbach is the purchaser.
| What is known as the "Meeme school"
is on this farm. Mr.. Peppard's father
settled there in lS47, and his home was
stopping place for subsequent settlers
for years until they had built shanties
| for themselves. The old gentleman
| died short time after coming TO
Meeme, the first death OF white man
| in that town. There was no cemetery
| then and he was buried on the farm.
His remains were removed to the Gem.
etery some years after. The farm
came in possession of his youngest son
who now parts with it. Jim" Pep
pard was one of the "big boys" in the
school in the long ago when Peter
and Henry Mulholland and Jere Daley
were pupils. Con Donahue was of
and on a pupil also.
Jere Donohue now of the Lake Shore
Western was one of the little fellows"
though this was atter Peppard had quit
school.

little fellows" to learn OF these sales

Mayor Schuette rendered his resigna.
ton to the city board on Monday even.
ing OF this week. The cares OF business
md ha do 4 do Ia
or induced him TO take this step. The
people OF the city owe great deal to
Mr.. Schuette. During the time he
was chief executive officer OF the city
he has devoted more time to his official
duties than he has TO his business, and
in every instance the public good vas
his aim. The Improvements made
during the last few years are largely
due to him. Keenly sensitive to criti-
cism as he is, the work he was doing
wore upon him, as 10 1t he had an eye
single to the benefit OF the city, but
his unselfsh purpose was given unre
servedly to the public, but the works
he projected brought multiplicity OF
details which were worrying and en-.
acting.
No city ever had more conscienti.
Gus or Industrious mayor nor one more
intent upon doing what was thought
TO be for the best interest of the city.
The people showed their confidence In
him by electing him to the mayuralty
three times without opposition and he
has proved himself fully worthy OF
that confidence. He "has done the
state some ser, icep and is Justly en-.
titled TO q season OF rest.

1t will soon be time to begin to think
about the engagement of teachers for
next year. A number Of school board
members have already been to the
oifice and made inquiry. There are
some teachers that arej just marking time
and If re-hired should be definitely
told what is required of them. In gen
eral there are but few teachers that do
not merit to be re-hired.

A short visit to our shipyards, will
reveal, even to native" citizen, an
industry whose real importance was
before wholly unknown to him. There
one tug, one scow, and eight other
craft; eleven in all. The carrying Ca
pacity of this one fleet is over 225, ,0OO
bushels. a capacity to move nearly 3
quarter of a million bushels of grain at
once, is now building. The builders
are anxious to complete these that
they may lay the keels for Just such
another fleet early in the season. The
average COST OF these vessels is tribe
over a dollar per bushel capacity. The
product of this one industry TO our city
must reach three fourths Of million
dollars for this season. 1t would be
interesting to compute the interests
Immediately concerned in the produc-
tion of this single fleet; ,oen in forest
and mine; in shops ana on the road,
cordage from the Indians, wire rope
from Europe, and canoes and punts
from afar. But to merely name the
items in gross will be all we can now
do; it will set some to thinking, and
call attention to the Importance of u
work quietly going on under our very
noses.
