Over one hundred twenty-five delS
egates from the various counties and
townships attended the meeting at
Minneapolis last Saturday afternoon
for the purpose of discussing the
labor question and setting a price
on all kinds of labor for this year s
harvest
Many farmers were there and a
chairman from each county was
elected and the price agreed upon
was As cents per hour. The time to
commence when the machine starts
and stops when it stops. Some did
not agree upon this price while 9TH
ers were willing to pay as high as
fifty cents an hour. Each county was
allowed one vote and thus the wage
of As cents was decided upon. A
number Of farmers attended from
here.
Next Saturday there will be
state meeting held in the Chamber
Of Commerce rooms at Salina for
the purpose of further discussing the
labor situation. There will be dele
cation from each township and
county present and they will en-
deavor to have definite understand

2,soo VOLTS FOR ONE MINUTE
United Telephone Employe Received
Severe Shock.

Bernie Sullivan, lineman for the
Riverside Light, Power and Gas Co.,
was severely burned and shocked at
1920 Friday afternoon when he re-
ceived 1900 volts of electricity from
the Abilene lead east of the Union
Pacific depot. A physician was called
and the man was taken to the e. w.
Elwick home.
Sullivan was working on the lines
when he accidently caught hold of
the live wire with his right hand. He
lost consciousness and men who
witnessed the accident say he re-
ceived the shock for fully one min
ute. Sullivan fell forward and
would have fallen head foremost to
the pavement had it not been for
another workman who caught him.
A rope was tied around the man s
waist and he was lowered to the
ground, after dangling in the air for
five minutes. His right hand was
nearly cut in two.
S. H. Lenhert of Donegal witness
ed the accident and he called a doc
tor and notified the fire department.
The only thing that saved Sullivan
was the fact that the blood rushed
to his head when he fell forward.
