IN FEAR OF BREAD FAMINE
Chicago Regards Strike of Union
Bakers as Serious.

SllCdSO hSS"huo
Bakers as Serious.
Chicago, April 30.-The strike of
master bakers in Chicago which was
called in Is of the largest bakeries
Saturday afternoon had assumed
serious proportions yesterday, in
the opinion of city officials. The
walkout by the strikers, who are
demanding increased pay, shorter
hours and improved working condi-
tons, has lesscncd the, daily bread
supply by 100000 loaves, it is es-
timated, and it is feared additional
smaller bakeries will be forced to
close Immediately.
Owners of the plants and men,
bers of the bakers union held sepa-
rate meetings today and as each side
declared it's intention Of standing
firm there appeared to be little like
lihood of an immediate settlement
of the dispute.
Members of the State Board of
Arbitration arrived in the course of
the day to offer their services In the
interest Of settlement. At the
same time city officials prepared to
call meeting of representatives of
both sides tomorrow in the hope of
settling the controversy.
If the strike is not adjusted within
a reasonable time it is possible that
the Federal Government may take
action in relieving the situation
either by communicating a number
of the plants and operating them to
supply the needs Of the 1900 boys
at the Great Lakes Naval Training
Station at Bluff, H., the thousands
of army recruits now in Chicago and
the several hundred patients at the
Marine Hospital, or by Selling al!
the bakeries and operating them I'M
der governmental control as a war
measure.
Representative of the bakers I'M
ion declared they would welcome any
action that would result in the oper-
alton Of the closed plants under gov
ornamental control.

CATARRHAL DEAFNESS CANN0T
BE CURED

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure ca
tarrhal deafness, and that is by a
constitutional remedy. Catarrhal
Deafness is caused by an infamed
condition of the mucou lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is
inflamed you have a rumbling sound
OF imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed, Deafness is the re-
suit. Unless the Inflammation can be
reduced and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be de-
stroyed forever. Many cases of deaf
ness are caused by catarrh, which is
an infamed condition of the mucous
surfaces. Halls Catarrh Medicine
acts thru the blood on the mucous
surfaces of the system.

OF homely form and solemn mein,
With dagger beak and legs so slim,
One thinks of him as visions seen
In olden dreams, now vague and din
With lifted head and searching eye,
In uniform of blue and gray,

The sentinel of cove and bay.
And oft as twilight blurs the sea
l mark his flight along the shore,
A strange shape winging cautiously,
A fieeting shadow-nothing more.

SUGGESTS ROAD
AT new BRIDGE
BE CARED FOR

And while there is a movement on
foot to improve the Jefferson High
way between Bemidji and Solway, on
the part of Bemidji, E. J. Letford
is of the opinion a little work along
the same line in certain instances
would be OF much benefit to the city
itself and he calls attention to the
condition of the road at the bridge
now being built in the city, this ar
terry being heavily used.
Mr.. Letford gives his views in a
letter to the Pioneer which is as
follows:
Bemidji, Mimi, April 28, 1917.
Editor Pioneer: You have done
a great deal of boosting for good
roads which is very commendable.
Considerable of this effort has been
directed to the Jefferson Highway,
which is in a sense tourist route,
and is enjoyed by us when we get
the time to use it. Cannot you use
your influence in getting some work
done on the road at the bridge be-
tween here and the mills?
This road a great many of us
Crookston mill employees use every
day and it is a business proposition
with us. One ride over this road In
its present condition will convince
any sensible man that it is disgrace
to Bemidji to allow it to remain one
day as it is. IF we have to wait In
definitely for the new bridge and a
permanent approach. at least. can not
we have a few loads of cinders or
gravel on the present road to save
our cars and our tempers?
Very truly,
E. ]. LETFORD
