boys have no complaint to make as
they have butter every day and eggs
and pie at nearly every meal

Big DRIVE ON
IN CANVASS FOR
LIBERTY BONDS
Plans Laid This Afternoon To Enlist
Workers In the Field For Sale
Of Second Liberty
Bonds.

A meeting of the recently appointed
ward captains who will have charge
of the second liberty loan in Water
ternoon. 1t was proposed that each of
them secure list of workers in his
ward and report at a meeting to be
held in the same place Friday even
ing at o'clock.
1t was also the sense of the meet
ing that bank Representatives be
drafted into the work here to help in
each ward, as they are more conyers-
ant with the requirements of the loan.
The Rev. H. A Link presided this
afternoon and the ward chairmen will
select list of workers who will be
notified before the meeting Friday.
The first meeting of citizens inter-
issuing the second Liberty loan was
held in the city hall Friday evening.
Shortly after the meeting had been
called to order by F. E. Woodland, he
was elected permanent chairman and
Max Eohr secretary.
each city for the disposal of it's quota
was read by the secretary. 1t Is an
elaborate plan and great deal more
comprehensive than the one used In
the first campaign. 1t will tend to-
ward less duplication of effort, and
work in placing the new loan. 1t Is to
be for s3,OOO,0O0,0O0 and the govern
hCo inti
up to $4,000, 100000.
The method of procedure was dis
cussed and several suggestions offer
ed 1t was finally decided to canvass
the city by wards as was done under
the first loan. One captain in each
ward was selected, he to select his
workers. The work will all be done
under his direction in the ward he
has been assigned to unless he is able
to take care of the work. The follow
ing were assigned to the different
wards:
First ward-Rev. H. A. Link.
Second ward-Simon Molzahn.
Third ward-G. H. Lehrkind
Fourth ward-John Buckley.
Fifth ward-E. J. Seifert.
Sixth ward-F C. Hartwig.
Seventh ward-F M. Jennings.
Eighth ward-Frank M Atkins
Ninth ward-Oscar c. Wertheimer.
Tenth ward-George A. Richards.
Eleventh ward-F. F. Wittenwyler.
Twelfth ward-G. C. Lewis.
Thirteenth ward-T. J. Koerner.
Fourteenth ward-Gordon Bacon.
Details as regards the second loan
are clear in that the amount will be
from $4,000, 100000 to $4,000, 900 900,
and will pay per cent. Those who
have purchased the first loan bonds
carrying 31a per cent interest can ex-
to their banker.
Jefferson county must raise ST.
554 900 as it's share.
Those subscribing for a $1,000 bond
will probably have to content them
selves with a smaller bond, for the
government intends issuing a bond to
each subscriber. A two per cent pay
ment on all the second loan bonds
purchased must be made when the ap-
plication is signed. The new bonds
will terminate in Is and 80 years re-
spectively.
A meeting of the ward captains is
in progress this afternoon in the city
hall for the purpose of arranging
plans whereby work can be started
Immediately in the city canvass A
thorough country canvass is to be
made for the Jefferson county quota

the county.

Complaints Against Railroad
and Ship Company Made at
Painters Meeting 6.

Many important matters were con-
sidered at the meeting of Painters
Union No. 106 last Tuesday evening at
Browns hall.
Business Agent Munkeby reported
that the D., NJ. & N. railroad was en-
ploying about 20 painters at Proctor,
who were being paid $3.65 for 10
hour day, while the union scale is
$3.50 for eight hours. He also stated
that the McDougall-Duluth company
at Spirit lake was employing five
painters at: less than the: union scale
for a nine-hour day. He expressed
the belief that the patriotism Of these
two companies might be appealed to
in order to obtain union conditions and
wages.
A communication was received from
the Bowman Construction company
stating that union painters would be
employed on the building being erected
at First avenue East and First street
by that firm. A committee from the
Trades Assembly had visited Mr..
Bowman. and is given credit for: hay
ing induced that action.
Butternut on Unfair List.
A communication was received from
the trades Assembly in behalf of the
Bakers and Confectioners' union.
stating that the Zinzmaster-Smith
bakery was still unfair to the latter,
and that the boycott against Butter
nut bread was still in effect All
union men are urged to refrain from
purchasing that brand of bread
A donation of IS was made to the
Molders' Mooney defense fund, to be
used in the attempt to secure
MONEYS freedom.
Many Endorsements are still coming
in for the candidacy of J. E. Jensen
for the fourth vice presidency of the
international brotherhood. and indi-
cations are that he will make a strong
bid for that office at the election to
be held Dec. 9.
A communication was received from
the State Federation of Labor, urging
that all contributions made to tobacco
funds for the soldiers be sent to the
fund conducted by the A. F. of L.,
which will be expended for union
made tobacco only.
The relief committee reported that

Ross Makes Talk.
Herman Ross, international organ
izer for the Bakers union, made a
lengthy talk in which he related the
growth Of his union in the last few
years, saying that one of the largest
eastern firms, employing 500 men,
bers in IA plants, had been unionized,
and that generally the bakers were
prosperous, despite the fact that
many of them were being called to
the military service, creatingya short
age of men, and a consequent de-
mand for women bakers. Mr.. Ross
was inythe Twin Cities during the re-
cent street car strike and told an in
teresting account of the events lead
ing up to the settlement. He Cmpha-
sized the necessity Of union men help
ing one another by purchasing union
made goods, thanked the delegates
for the support given the local Bak-
of such support:
According to Mr.. Ross, the Zins-
master-Smith bakery. is still unfair
and the boycott of Butternut bread is
still in effect.
Delegate Sabel of the BARRIERS
union reported that two proprietors
J. H. Sullivan and A. Tesdahl, among
those recently placed on the unfair
list. had signed agreements with his
local. He urged patronage Of only
those shops which displayed the union
shopcard.
