COMMUNITY LABOR BOARD
FOR IRON COUNTY.
Supervision of Recruiting and Distri-
button of Workers for War Pro-
ductiOn in Hands of
Labor Board.

A local community board for Iron
county has been organized with the
following as members: +. B. Good
man of Montreal, representing
employers; VIM. Dietrich of Hurley
representing labor; and Frank
Marta, representing the United
States Employment Service.
Community Labor Boards are
being organized i'll every state by
the State Organization Committee
of the United States Employment
Service, consisting of the Federal
director of employment, who is
chairman, and a representative
each of employers and employees.
The Federal director is chairman
of the State Advisory body also.
Every Community Labor Board is
composed of three members, one
representing the community's em-
ployers; the second its employees,
and the third who is chairman,
representing the United States En-
ployment Service. 1t is the duty
of the board to generally supervise
the recruiting and distribution of
workers for war production, the
actual reCuiting and distributing
being done by the local officers
and agents of the U. S. Employ
ment Service. The Community
Labor Board has direct supervision
over the recruiting and distributing
of labor in their communities, and
the transfer of men for war work
FROM industries which are not di-
rectly connected with the prosecut-
ion Of the war. The power to deter
mine priority among industries and
to close up nonessential industries
by shutting off supplies rests with
the war industries board. 1t is with
in the province of each community
labor board to list those nonwar in
dustries in its community which
will first be called upon to contri-
butte men to war work. This does
not mean that such industries will
be compelled to close up or dis
charge their male employees at
once, but that, with as much fair
ness as is possible and with as
much speed as may be necessary
to meet the national emergency,
they will release male workers.

Save The Pits.

A new method by which we may
show our patriotism and help to
win the war has developed. From
fruit stones of every description,
as we'll as from the shells of wal
nuts, hickory nuts and butter nuts,
carbon is made which is used in
making the lining of the gas masks
used by the soldiers in the trenches.
1t requires two hundred pits to
make the lining for one mask.
A nation wide campaign has been
launched for the collection of these
fruit pits, under the supervision OF
the Council of Defense. Locally,
the matter has been placed iE the
hands &c The school children. A te
preventative from each of the city
wards has been appointed to over
see the wo.k of collecting, and in
each ward, a barrel has been placed
to be used as a depository.
We are now in the midst of the
canning season and the people OF
Hurley are earnestly requested to
save their pits and to send them by
the children to the respective recep-
tacles which have been provides in
each ward Do not burn yortr frui;
pits nor throw them awa{. The
may be the means of saving the lite
of one of our own iron county boz.

UIDCE RISJORD'S DECISION
In FAVOR OF WHITE.
IIphoIds Action of Board of Canvass
ers in Throwing Out Montreal Vote.
Raineri Starts Contest.

At the close of the hearing in
the court house last Friday after
noon Judge Risjord sustained the
action of the board of county can
vassers in ruling that the ballots in
the town of Montreal were illegal
and declaring White the Republi-
can nominee for sheriff. Raineri
appealed to the Judge of the circuit
court from the action of the board
of canVasserS.
Judge Risjord held that IA votes
in the town of Montreal were illeg-
al on account Of not having the sig
natures Of the ballot clerks on the
back in the space provided for that
purpose. The IA votes were cast for
Raineri. He ruled, however, that
one in the town of Mercer, which
The board of CanVassers credited to
White, should not be counted for
White, therefore reducing Whites
majority over Raineri to 4.
A new angle to the contest for
sheriff developed this week when
Raineri, through his attorney,
started action to have the county
clerk enjoined from having the bal
lots printed for the general election
Iron County news. [volume] (Hurley, Wis.) 1913-1950, 1918-09-28

Ill November with White name
as the Republican nominee instead
OF that OF Raineri. His contention
is that rs votes for White in the
town of Anderson were illegal for
the reason that the rs persons who
cast their ballots were not entitled
to vote. In the application for the
injunction the names and poll list
numbers of the men are given. In
the case OF one Matt Johnson it is
contented that he was not of age.
In the cases of all the others, with
the exception of one Wm. Kerr, il
is Contended that they were not en-
titled to vote on account of not being
residents of the town of Anderson,
that they had not lived in the state
one year and that they were not
citizens.
The total vote for sheriff in the
town of Anderson at the recent pri-
mary election was 48, of which
White received 46 and Rainari 2
At the primary election in 1916 the
total vote for sheriff was 28.
A decision in this interesting
phase of the contest for sheriff may
be expected in short time.

THE GREAT WAR HAS MADE
CIGARETTES A NECESSITY.

sour boys must have their smokes.
Send them cigarettes!" This is a
familiar appeal now to all of US.
Among those most in demand is
the now famous toasted" cigarette
LUCKY STRIKE. Thousands of this
favorite brand have been shipped to
France. There is something home
like and friendly to the boys in the
sight of the familiar green packages
with the red circle.
This homelike, appetizing quality
Of the LUCKY STRIKE cigarette is
largely due to the fact that the Burley
tobacco used in making it has been
toasted. 'Its toasted was the "slo-
gan" that made a great success of
LUCKY STRIKE in less shan year.
Now the American Tobacco Co. is
making Is million LUCKY STRIKE
Cigarettes day.
A good part of this immense pro-
duction is making its way across the
water to cheer our boys. The Red
Cross has distributed thousands of
LUCKY STRIKE Cigarettes.

KAISER MEETS JUST
FATE In NEW FILM
s'The Kaiser" Shows Beast of
Berlin in True Light-T0
Be Shown Here Soon

| The American Defense Society,
engaged in fighting German propa-
ganda in the United States, recently
characterized the new film play, "The
Kaiser, the Beast of Berlin" as one
of the best bits Of anti-German prop
uganda produced since the war. So
great is the faith of this National So
ciety in the flint it has made an
arrangement with the company which
owns it to have it produced at the Prin-
cess Theatre May 6, under the aus
pieces of the Kennewick Branch Of the
American Defense Society, the total
net profits to go to a fund being rails
ed by the Society to prosecute more
vigorous action against the German
agents in this country.
Rupert Julian, who directs this film,
and plays the leading role, has been
studying the Kaiser for years. Now
he has reproduced him in character
SO loathsomc, and in q manner SO
scathing, that it constitutes one Of the
strongest alignments of the war.
, The. Kaiser at his first appearance
in the story, is in an exccrable mood.
He inspects his palace guard. In the
course of the tour he insults one of
the officers. The officer demands sat
isfaction for the insult and with ris-
ing blood forgets himself and strikes
the ruler blow on the jaw. The Of
ficer Immediately commits suicide.
$ The war lords physician privately
tells one of the staff that had the blow
landed little higher it would have
broken the poison cancer in the Kali
ser's ear.
But whatever effect the blow had,
the Kaiser shortly plunged into war:
He tears up the treaty guaranteeing
the neutrality of Belgium. The Lusi-
tania is sunk and the Kaiser deco
rates the U-boat commander.
Ambassador Gerard calls upon the |
Kaiser and presents the American note
which warns Germany of the conse-
quences which must follow if the sink
ing of our ships continue. To this,
the Kaiser tells Gerard in an insolent
fashion that he thinks President Will
son believes in peace and would not
declare war.
Then comes the Kaiser's awaken
ing. President Wilson declares war.
The Kaiser's mind pictures the great
of soldiers springing up, and
he is staggered at the realization of
what this means to him.
Berlin falls, and the regime of the
is over. Troops of the
allied nations fill the palace. Gems.
Pershing, Joffre, Haig, Diaz and King
Albert witness the surrender of the
man who has brought death and des-
truction to millions.
The Kaiser's imperial air deserts
him as he listens to the sentence
passed upon him. The council of ma
ions decides he is to be prisoner of
he Belgian people, and he is lodged
n a Louvain prison.
The picture is we'll acted and the
yarious scenes are handled in highly
Effective manner.

CHAPTER XXI.
~The He'd Hole Of eermany.r

1.-THE Hell Hole Of Germany"
On arriving at Brandonburg we were
marched the three or four miles north
west to tire camp. While we we're be-
lag marched through the streets a
woman walked alongside OF us for
quite way, talking to the boys in
English and asking them about the
war. She said she did not believe
anything the German papers printed.
Che said she wRs an Engllshwoman
from Liverpool and that at the out
break ef the war not being able to
get out Of Germany. she ana her chill
dren had been put in prison and that
every day for over a week they had
put her through the third degree; that
her children had been separated from
her and tisat she did not know where
they were.
she walked along with Us for several
blocks until sentry heard her say
sornething not very complimentary to
the Germans and chased her away.
When we SERVED at the camp We were
put Into the receiving barracks and
kept there six days. The condition Of
these barracks was not such that you
could describe It. The floors were ac-
tually nothing but filth. Very few OF
the hunks remained; the rest had been
torn down--for fuel, ] suppose.
The day we were transferred to the
regular prison barracks four hundred
Russians and Seigians were buried.
Most Of them had died from cholera.
typhoid and inoculations. We heard
from the prisoners there before as that
che Germans had come through the
camps with word that there was an
epidemic Of black typhus and cholera
and that the only thing for the men to
do was to take the serum treatment to
avoid catching these diseases. Most Of
the four hundred men had died from
the NEGOTIATIONS. They bad taken the
