mutually PLAN
Oliver Iron Mining Company
Organizes New Department.

A new department has been or
ganized by the Oliver Iron Min
ing company to be known as the
"Mutuality Plan" and destined
to bring the employee and en-
ployer closer together and us. a
step long needed.
P. F. Chamberlain, with of.
fices in the First National Bank
Building at Virginia, is chairman
charged with the duty of admin
istering the plan. To the end
that the merits of any grievance
of an employee may be deter
mined by his fellow employees.
the plan will operate, in part,
through committees composed of
employees. One committee is
named for each underground and
one for each open pit mine, also
a joint committee for each head
quarters shop, office and labora-
tory. The committees are COM
posed of either three or five mem
bers, depending on the number Of
employees represented by the par
ticular committees. They are
known as the local mutually
committees and are composed Of
employees who are in'no position
of authority. No foreman or boss
is to serve on said committees.
Mr.. Chamberlain as chairman,
will look after the selection and
organization of committees, pre-
side as chairman at all general
and special meetings thereof and
perform such other duties as may
be necessary to give full scope to
the plan but he shall have no vote
in the deliberations Of any COM
mittee. The local committees will
pass ON all matters coming under
the following heads:
1. The treatment of employees
by those in authority.
2. Conditions surrounding en-
ployes in their places of work.
3. All tools with which en-
ployes perform their work.
4. Living conditions on loca
tions owned by the Company.
5. Medical attention.

Was the Entertainment and
Dance Wednesday Evening.

The ladies of the Eastern Star
who arranged the program for the
entertainment and ball given We'd
nesday evening for the benefit of
the Red Cross, deserve the highest
praise for the nature, quality and
quantity of attractions presented.
Notwithstanding the big time"
program given and the difficulties
encountered in its preparation,
everything passed off swimmingly
and the large audience was more
than pleased.
The evening opened with a mixed
quartette in which Misses Lorenz,
Finstad, Roberts, Nankervis, Mrs.
Strachan and Mrs. McCurdy and
Messrs. Englund, Blumer. Strach-
an, R. J. Trezona, Mokros and L.
]. White took part. Mrs. o. Sar-
kipato captured the audience with
her violin selection and she res
pended to an encore. Mrs. Victor
Koivumaki played the accompani-
ment in her usual efficient manner
Miss Ruth Lindell and Guy Cot
fey showed true vaudeville form in
their act. Their offering was a
popular song and dance number
which was enthusiastically encored
While Miss Lindell has frequently
appeared before Ely gatherings il
readings and dramatic productions,
her song and dance number in COM
pany with Mr.. Coffey, showed her
adaptation for the latter role.
A selection by the male quartette
composed of Messrs. Strachan,
Blumer, Englund and Mokros wa:
followed by reading in two acts
by Mrs. VI. L. King, between the
acts of which Guy Coffey gave
vocal solo. Mrs. King gave the
difficult story in acts and words il
her usual accomplished manner
and received the plaudits of the
gathering.

Hail in the solo dance showed
exceptional grace and training
Her support was excellent. Thi
was one of the best features of th'
evening of excellent features.
It is needless to say that the pro
gram was further improved by TIL
Accomplishments played by Mrs. II

a pianist is too we'll known to neec
further mention.
The browning feature of TIL
evening was the Style Show.

Warning to Campers

The recent order of the Mime
sofa Commission of Public Safety
providing heavy penalties for
starting fires in the timbered Sec
lions Of the state is bearing fruit.
During the first two weeks that
the order was in effect several
arrests were made by agents of
the state forestry department
working for fire prevention in
our forests.
In each case heavy fine was
imposed, showing that the civil
authorities in the various towns
are doing their share in eliminat-
ing this dangerous practice.
Although the prosecution of
offenders along this line is not
specifically a part of the duty of
the state. fire marshal, neverthe-
less this department is co-operat-
ing with the forestry department
in stamping out this menace.
With the near APPROACH of the
camping season it is expected
that some city persons spending
their first season in the great
North woods may get a saluta-
tory lesson in fire prevention if
they are not careful where and
how they start fires.
This lesson will be brought
back to the cities and as a result
warnings issued by the first mar
shall in relation to fire prevention
in general will be properly ap-
preciated.
