AN INVESTIGATION MIGHT HELP

an case there may have been some
misunderstanding regarding last
weeks editorial entitled, "To He'll
With the Peaple-We Need the
Money" the Independent wishes it
understood that it has no "bone to
pick" with the Pioneer Press or it's
publisher, Jos F. Dolin. No petty
jealousy exists, as far as this paper
is concerned, nor is there any reason
why the Pioneer Press should be
made to suffer for gross negligence
on the part of the Honorable Board,
even if it be the favored one.
Ii the county commissioners are
not capable of deciding on contracts
involving large sums of money they
are not proper representatives for
the people of this county; and if they
are capable and have abused the Of
ilces to which they were elected a
thorough investigation should be
made. But as a private citizen and
business man, Joe Dolin can not be
blamed for accepting the contract at
a price which will net him consider
able profit.-Antelope Independent.

/ am making this statement as

On the 21st day of May, 1918,
while Mr.. Onstad, the County At

formed by F. A. Weinrich, Chairman
of the Board of County Commission
ers, that the Board would like to see
one of us relative to what could, and
what could not, be incorporated in a
notice for bids for county printing.
I went down to the Commission
ers' Office, and they then informed me
that they were about to publish a
notice of bids for the letting of the
county printing, and asked me if it |
would be proper and legal to include
in said notice for bids, provision
that each bidder must enclose with I
his bid certified check for a sub
sum to guarantee his enter
ing into such contract pursuant to
such bid, if the contract were award
ed to the bidder. I informed them
that / believed such a provision
would be both proper and legal.

UooiinS VII, ~. IA great Tor
ward step in helping the men fin
the job was taken when the Presi
dent issued an order centralizing tn
recruiting and supply of workers o
all kinds for war production in tn,
United United States Employment
service.
After August 1 no employer will
war business who has a force OF
more than 100 workers will be ner.
mitted to recruit common labor, blu,
all such employers will be required
to use government agencies, while
the restriction against private re-
cruiting for the present applies only
to unskilled labor; as soon as posi-
BILE it will be extended to include
Skilled labor, and eventually no en-
ployer may be permitted to employ
men unless the latter have permit
cards from the government service.
This will put an end to the stealing
and poaching of employees which has
demoralized by war work, which is
already we'll in hand by means of
regulating orders.
Because of the haphazard, indi-
vidualistic method now in use it is
estimated that from rs to 40 per
cent of the common labor has been
rendered potentially idle because it !
has been rushed from place to place
by private employment agencies.
WILL STANDARDIZE
ALL WAGES NEXT
Wage standardization is to be the
next step to be taken by the War
Labor policies board which has had
this matter under consideration for
some time. The question of hours
and labor conditions will also be reg
ulated, In short, as soon as the sys-
tenn is in full operation~the United
States government will be complete
master of all of the workers in war ,
Industries, regulating the hours and
wages and making them uniform for
all workers in the same class of
work, regardless of where they are
located.
The national organization of the :
Employers service has main Office !
in Washington, but it carries out it's I
program with the state as unit. t
The states in turn are grouped into t
thirteen districts. By this method la f
Dor can be shifted about with little t
waste Of time and the necessities of
the entire country can be taken into T
consideration. n
Farmers will be one of the classes N
benefited by the new regulations. |,
In many sections, notably in the east e,
md south, farms have been swept ii
ware OF labor by private labor agen- n
eles' This practice will be ended by b
We government agencies who will 81
see that there is sufficient help left ii
Vn the farm for the harvest. h,
only one who has studied the sit ii
ua'lon Will appreciate the choas that So
naS existed in the labor market. h,

A FAIR COMPARISON.

Some of the enterprising citizens
OF this community recently had a
chance to test the Judgment of the
Honorable Board of County Commits
sioners where county contracts are
concerned, and they are now of the
same opinion as most every other
citizen of the county.
Alarge quantity of rock is situa-
ted on one of the roads southeast of
Antelope-in the center of the road
In fact. Everyone who travels that
road is perfectly familiar with their
position; and everyone, the Honora-
BILE Board included, knows that the
obstruction should be removed. The
Honorable Board agreed to let the
contract and the contractors were on
hand to tender their bids. The lob
was considered to be worth $125 or
Sl50, but the county commissioners
thought it ought to be done for $50.
And it is more than likely that the
rock will continue to peacefully re-
pose in the center of the highway.
Now, if the contract had been let
On the same basis as the recent print
ng contract the commissioners would |
nave told some friend to do the job
md charge his own price. But there
wasn't enough money involved in the
ieal, so the contract couldn't be let
hat way.-Antelope Independent.

very near to getting the entire price

the enemy communication trenches,
bombing out dugouts. disarming prls-
oners-very scary-looking in their

were coming back slowly. Then we

Fritz on one side would step out and
yell "Kancrad," while. like as not, on
the other side. his pal would pot you
with a revolver when you started to

Then we stood aside at the entrance

In which the chaplain was wounded.

chaplain got 1t, and was running pretty
near me until We got to the Boche
wire. had to stop to get through,
though must Of IL was cut up by artil-
lery fire. but he must have jumped It,
Tor when I looked up he was twenty
or thirty PAGES ahead Of me. We got
to the Germans about that time and
I was pretty busy for q while. But
soon saw him again. He was pulling
his bayonet out Of a Boche when an
other made a jab at him and stuck him
IN the arm. Then the Boche made q
swing ut him with his rife, but the
Swiss dropped on one knee and lodged
it. he kept defending himself With
his rifle. but there was another Ger
man on him by this time and he could
not get up. The corporal Of our squad
came up Just about that time, but he
was too late. because one Of the
Boches got to the Swiss with his bay
onet. He did not have time to with
draw It before our corporal stuck him.
The other German made q pass at the
corporal, but he was too late. The
corporal beat him to it and felled him
with terrific blow from his rifle butt.
The Huns were pretty thick around
there just as another fellow and my
self came up. A Boche swung his rifle
at the corporal and when he lodged It
the Boche almost got me. The swing
took him of his feet and then the cor
poral did as pretty bit Of work as
I ever saw. He jumped for the Boche,
who had fallen, landed on his facs
with both feet and gave It to the next
one with his bayonet all at the same
time. He was the quickest man svss
saw.
There were a couple Of well-known
savate men in the next company and
I saw one Of them get under Fritz's
guard with his foot and, believe me,
there was some force lin that kick.
He must have driven the Germans
chin clear through the back Of his
neck.
We thought It was pretty tough luck
to lose both the chaplain and the vii
lage wit in the same charge, along
with half Of our officers, and then have
to give up the trench. Every man in
the bunch was sore as q boil when we
got back.
