Winnipeg, May 10.-City Of
ficials and employers are UNDER
stood to have reached an agree
ment to submit to the unionists
here in an effort to break the
general strike which has bound
up the city since Thursday. The
agreement is intended to pave
the way for further adjust
ments after work has been re-
sumed. The strike began when
the demands of the metal trades
unionists for higher wages and
better working conditions were
not met.
The general strike situation re-
mained unchanged today. The gen.
eral strike continues unabated. The
city is quiet and apparently the la
Dor headquarters has complete con-
troll of the situation.
Some of the employers said they
would quit business before meeting
the demands of the strikers.
Freight houses and yards are
clogged with shipments which can
not be moved Mail delivery has not
been attempted and little foodstuffs
have been delivered since Thursday.
The shortage has caused some diff

been allowed to publish.
The streets today are crowded
with parading strikers. Many pri-

The NC-3 is believed to have been
floating on the waters and lost in
the fog for nearly 4S hours. If the
craft is still on the sea the men
aboard must be drenched and their
drinking water and rations running
low. Even if found, it is believed
that As hours drifting in the high
seas would probably have so DAM
aged the plane that it will be inn
possible for it to continue it's flight.
The unexpected news of the dash
of Hawker in his Sopwith stirred up
intense interest all along the line of
American transatlantic communi-
cations. There was no sleep last
night for anyone on the ships.

Before starting Hawker declared
he wanted to "beat the Yankees
across the Atlantic as we'll as win
the $50,00O prize offered by the Lon
don Daily Mail for the first nonstop
airplane flight across the ocean.
Soon after Hawker and his nayi-
gator took the air. Aviator Frederick
P. Raynham, Hawker's rival for
transatlantic honors, attempted to
hop off, but his plane was wrecked
and he and his navigator, Charles w.
F. Morgan, were injured.
Hawker decided to start when he
received the news of the landing OF
the NC4 at the Azores He essayed
the trip in a Sopwith plane with one
motor and upon leaving the ground
dropped his running gear in order to
tighten his machine.
Barring accident Hawker expected
to make the transatlantic flight in
20 hours flying, which should have
brought him to the Irish coast at
about 10 O'Clock this morning, New
York time. Because of his lack of
pontoons, forced landing anywhere
short of the Irish coast was expected
to prove fatal to the daring aviator
and his mechanic. The last seen OF
Hawker, so far as is known, was as
his machine topped the hills east OF
his starting field. From the fact that
the straight-away course decided up
on by the aviators at the last minute
in their efforts to "beat the Yankees
across" it was not expected that the
plane would be sighted by any pass
ing steamers.
London, May 10. - A vigilant
watch was maintained along the
coast of Ireland for the SopWith BIZ
plane in which Harry Hawker and
Lieutenant Grieye started east yes
terday from St. Johns in an attempt
to cross the Atlantic. 1t was stated
that if the flight was successful. the
plane should be sighted this morning.
II it was not successful the Sopwith
would never be heard from again. AS
Hawker dropped the under carriage
from his plane to tighten it, it was
expected he would have difficulty in
making a landing even if he should
succeed in crossing the ocean.

Who Is To Blame?

Considerable damage has been done
to the lawn of the REDWOOD FALLS
PUBLIC LIBRARY by people crossing
the lawn instead Of remaining on the
walks. Since the frost has gone out
and the ground has become soft, paths
have been made in this way and the
damage to the grounds,is considerable.
Much of this damage has been done by
school children and done in spirit
of carelessness rather than mischiev-
ously. Both children and their elders
however, are urged to remain off the
grass, thus assisting in getting the
lawn back in the excellent condition in
which it was last season. The Library
and its grounds are public property
and it should be an appeal to the civic
pride of every man, woman and child
to keep them as beautiful as possible.
Even less excuseable than the cutting
of corners, however, is the tearing
down of the vines which Mr.. Lukens
and Miss Tolzman worked so hard to
get started about the building. This
destruction must have been done in a
spirit of utter righteousness and is all
the more regretable because of that.
Such destruction is punishable by law
and if the offenders are apprehended
their sentence will not be light one.
The residents are asked to cooperate
with the librarian and the library board
to see thtt all such dissertations of the
property are stopped.

The Victory Loan Sale which is the

opens next Monday April 21. There
will be an opportunity given each CT
tizen to go to the voting place of his
precinct and take his allotment with
out solicitation. This will very much
lessen the work of local soliciting COM
mittees and will greatly hasten the
work. The allotment plan will be fol-
lowed exactly as it has been followed
in previous sales and the allotment
will be made by local committees just
as before It is probable the amounts
will not vary much from the Fourth
loan as the entire amount to be raised
is about the same. Every day makes
it more evident that the bond sale must
be put through as expediously as posi-
bic and every earnest hearted Amer
ican will assist to the utmost. The
names Of local committees and other
relative to the campaign
will be made public throughout the

Many W. S. S.
Clubs Started
F. r. LOBDELL ASSISTS IN WORK
OF ORGANIZING RED
WOOD IN SAVINGS.

F. r. Lobdell of the savings division
of the Ninth District War Loan Or
ganization spent the larger part Of
last week in Redwood Falls assisting
II. A. Baldwin, chairman of the w. S.
S. Association, in completing the or
ganization and in starting several
Thrift Clubs in the city. Mr.. Lobdell
has been engaged in this work as a
representative of the United States
Treasury Department since his remov-
val to Minneapolis several months ago
and has gained wide experience
which makes his assistance to local
leaders very much worth while.
Mr.. Lobdell met with many organi-
cations and addressed several meet
ings while here. These included the
large meeting at the Methodist church
last Thursday evening, the meeting of
the Commercial Club Friday evening,
the Health meeting, the bankers con-
vention and the children of the grade
schools. Through his activity Thrift
Clubs were formed by the FIRST Ma
tional Bank, by the staff of the Lea
der, by Commercial Club, the high
school and sixteen clubs among the
CulluICu vi tuC SIduS SCuOOlS.
Mr.. Lobdell made it very evident
that the aim of the organization which
he represents is for a continuous cam
paign of education in thrift, in the IL
innate value of the small and constant
savings of weekly cor monthly sums
There is to be no competition in the
coming campaign to promote savings
no striving of one individual to get
ahead of the other nothing but an
earnest teaching, by the objective
method, that competence is attained in
average cases, only through constant
saving, even though the amounts say
ed are comparatively small.
