STRIKE OVER
THE I. w. w. UPRISING COMES
TO END RATHER SUD-
DENLY.

After having laid down their tools
several weeks ago during which time
innumerable meetings and several
parades have been held, the I. w. w.
voted at the last meeting to go back
to work. At least, it is reported that
a majority was in favor of calling the
strike off.
Since that time the Zenith has
put on a small crew and the Chan
oilers have enlarged their working
forces. The Oliver company has not
as yet attempted to operate at either
the Pioneer or Sibley mines and
nothing is known as to when these
mines will again resume operations.
Members of the I. w. w. when
questioned by reporter stated that
they had joined the reds under false
pretences on the part Of those in
charge. It was understood that the
local strike was to embrace the two
ranges and that the Zone Big
Union" was to stand behind them
with dues for living expenses during
the time they were out of work.
None of the promises were kept and
the membership list has fallen off to
such an extent that even the pick
ings of the leaders has become an
arduous task The leadership in the
movement to make things safe in
this country for Russia and Germany
also ran up against snag in the
shape of the police who now have
several of these at the head in Jail
and before the grand jury. Several
of the men also claimed that they
were inundated into signing the
red roll by threats to blow up their
homes and families. Others were
made to join them in the parades.
Be that as it may. There is no
room in America for an organization
like the l. w. w. Those affiliated
with the outfit should be returned to
Russia or Germany. We have no
use for Soviets here neither have we
any use for sympathisers of the reds.
They are not recognized by any labor
body in the country and are outlaws.
One thing is certain. The man
with red card or the fellow who
did the parading should have hell
iva time getting a job around here.

A Real Remedy.

A soldier went to 'quack" ioctor
and complained Of a sharp pain after
sitting on damp grass for some hours,
during which he had frequently sucked
the point Of lead pencil. The "quack"
told him that he was suffering from
'plumbism' and gave him some pills.
The next day he returned to the
"quack" and said, you told me 1 had
plumbism,' which is lead poisoning,
and now find there is no lead in lead
pencils, only graphite or plumbago."
"Oh,' replied the "quack" airily, "did
say plumbism Is the cause of your
plumbism? meant to have said plum.
bago is the cause Of your lumbago."
"Oh" said the man. But, anyhow,
your pills are only bread" "Of course !"
replied the ''quack." Don't you know
that bread Is the finest thing to remove
pencil marks with? You didn't want
me to give you India-rubber pills, did
you"

The Coffey Orchestra which gave
a ball at Soudan Saturday evening
was somewhat roughly used by a
bunch of hoodlums of the neighbor-
ing city. The story goes that sew
eral of the Ely boys had on previous
occasions gained the displeasure of
Soudan young men and that it was
the intention to "clean up" the Ely
contingent at the dance. Those to
be cleaned up had left the hall few
minutes before by car for Ely and
only the orchestra remained when
the belligerent army arrived. In or
der to make the boast good, someone
from Ely had to be the goat and the
orchestra furnished the material.
Mr.. and Mrs. John Hanson, "Doc"
Simonson and Ray Coffey comprised
the orchestra.

RED CROSS NEWS

Does your baby play on the floor,
Mrs. Youngmother of Minnesota?
Are you careful to see that he
comes in contact with no unclean
substances?
Do you know that deadly disease
turks in dust and dried sputum car
ried into the house on peoples feet
Minnesota physicians who have
studied these matters carefully state
that vast number of persons who
contract tuberculosis are infected in
childhood and that eight of every ten
persons have the germs at some time
in their lives.
Last year $500 Minnesota infants
died. The average number of chill
dren up to five years old killed an
nually by tuberculosis in this state is
$50. The germs begin to take a
heavier toll in death between the
ages of 20 and 35 years, about 1000
Minnesotans of those ages being vic
TINS of the great white plague
each year.
But by keeping the tuberculosis
germ away from the child, the num-
Der of deaths of persons in later
years will be materially reduced, de-
clare the health experts.
Minnesota is mobilizing for the an
nual Red Cross Christmas Seal Sale
through which $250,0O0 fund is
to be raised to finance the warfare
against tuberculosis and other de-
structive diseases.

conflict with the sale of the stock Of

"Be it further resolved, That it is
the judgment of the board Of direc-
tors that provision should be made
for the marketing of domestic cotton,
for the financing of domestic cotton,
and also that provision should be
made for the storage and holding Of
at least one-third of normal cotton
crop. This would require S400,000,-

with the information before it, this
board finds, that it will be entirely
practicable with the agencies and in
the manners suggested in the report
of the special committee, to secure
such an amount of money for such
purposes. The producer has suffer-
ed untold loss, as result of the failure
to provide for the proper marketing,
financing and holding of his cotton
crop, and as we realize that as result
of the formation of the corporation
suggested herein would revolutionize
the handling of the cotton crop, we
urge that the special committee ap-
pointed for this matter give it I'M
