NO LABOR TROUBLE IN
= PAN MOTOR COMPANY

- St. Cloud, June 2O.-Contrary to
reports sent out by interests antagon-
istic to it, the Pan Motor company of
Saint Cloud, is, experiencing no labor
troubles and anticipates none. The
company recently established an
t3-hour day basis for all workers and
granted voluntary increase in wages
ranging from SC to 1Oc per hour.
This is in line with the policy of. the
management to conform to the most
modern and liberal practice in deal
ing with employees and to pay as. high
wages as the industry will reasonably
stand. AS result the best of feeling e
exists and there is no reason to be-
'neve the situation will ever be other
WISE.
In. view of the face that there is
much dissatisfaction in labor circles
in other sections of the country, oc-
,casioned by treatment less consider
ate of the workers interests, condi-
tions at~tfe big automobile plant in
Saint Cloud are highly significant and
indicate genuine desire onsthe part
of the Pan Motor company to deal
fairly and justly with its employees.

REYNOLDS RETURNS
FROM WAR ACTIVITIES

Lieut.. H. E. Reynolds who returned
home yesterday from a seven months
service in the Y. M. c. A. war work,
is just as pleased to be home as his
host of friends are to see him. He is
here to remain, having finished his
duties.
Lieut.. Reynolds has had an inter-
esting career. Most of his time of
seven months service has been spent
in embarkation and debarkation ports
and he had to do with looking after
the troops leaving and 'debarking,
which took him to France. In fact
he was in every port on the Atlantic
coast with the exception of Boston.
Mr.. Reynolds is of the realty firm
of Reynolds & Winter and was secre-
tary Of the Commercial club when he
Joined the service of the Y. NJ GA.
He was also prominent in the home
guard and was a member OF the bat
talon staff.
The arrival of Mr.. Reynolds had
an amusing feature. He wired his
wife that he would arrive yesterday
and she supposed he would come by
the way of Duluth and, dutiful
spouse, she hied herself for Duluth,
but her soldier husband came from
Minneapolis and when he alighted
from the train there was no affec-
tionate greeting. A wire to Duluth
caused the return OF the missus.

HIGH COURT UPHoLDS I
JUDGE STANTON in.
IRON MINE DECISION
Decision Involved Ownership
Of Rroperty Valued at Over
7 Two Millions.

Litigation involving the ownership
ola one-half interest in the ''Feigh"
mine on the Guyana range, in Crow
Wing county. came to- an end today
when the state supreme court filed it's
decision affirming the order made by
Judge Stanton last October, denying
the motion of defendant for a new
trial. .E
Patrick Hammel and Thomas Feigh
were both aged bachelor residents OF
Duluth. Feigh held the legal title to
the land on. which one of the best
producing iron mines on the Guyana
range has been in operation for sew
eral years, yielding an average an
nual income Of about 100000.
Hammel claimed that the title to the
land was acquired. through a. joint
adventure of the parties and that
each of them owned one half of it.
Action was instituted by Hammel to
establish his. alleged ownership. The
trial was before Judge Stanton at
Brainerd and the. question as to
whether there was, in fact, a part
nership, was submitted to a jury.
Verdict for Hammel was returned
and the court filed findings and or
der for Judgement accordingly.
Two million, dollars is said to be
conservative estimate of the value
of the property. Since the trial,
Thomas Feigh,' the defendant, died.
His only heirs are Several nephews.
Both sides were represented by an
array of counsel, the plaintiff by
Fryberger, Fulton & Spear of Du-
4uth, and A. T. Rock of Superior;
the defendant. by Albert Fink of
Chicago, Baldwin, - Baldwin &
Holmes OF Duluth, George H. Sulli-
van Of Saltwater. and Alderman &
Clark of Brainerd.

Of the citizens of Bemidji is liberal
enough, Bemidji's big Fourth of July
celebration will have a big army
aeroplane, flown by an army aviator
who saw service in France.
This feature would be one of the
greatest magnets that could possibly
be, devised and the coming of the
aviator would carry with it a flight
for any one who would care to pay
SIS for an air journey of brief dura-
tion.
An effort is being made to secure
this attraction and it is hoped 1t will
be successful.
