be summoned before final action is
taken on the big pending problems.
While immediate action is expect
cd on the steel and railroad situa-
tions. they believe the rank and file
may be consulted BEFORE steps are
taken on the broader questions Of

The threat OF strike Of the union
employees Of the United states Steel

The letter from the Studebaker

part
Whether the proposed budget
FOR 1920 is extravaEant and excessive
cannot bee determined without an
analysis and thorough understand
ing of the items covered by It. A
cursory examination Of the budget
indicates that il makes provision for
three distinct classes OF expend-
itures
Firstly. the ordinary operating
expenses Of the city departments. the
amount or which expenses Is. OF
course within the control of the city
administration, and which must nee
essarily be higher this year than last
because OF the well known increase
in tho costs OF materials and sup
plies and increases in salaries. An
examination OF the payrolls of the
city will reveal the fact that the
earnings Of city employees are below
the average earnings prevailing in
the industries Of the city for like
work. There is no disrupting the
fact that city employees as "a whole
are underpaid when measured by
the wages paid in the commercial
field

PIerson made the trip in his ca
pacity a a director of the chamber
/ OF commerce Of the United States.
! Replying TO questions asked by the
/ United Press he said:
No Opposition TO Reds
! The outstanding feature of the
/ trip was on the one hand the evi-
dence we found OF an extraordi-
nary amount of revolutionary prop
aganda abroad in the country and
on the other hand the amazing
lack OF effort 0 combat the dan
gerous teachings
The Pacific coast in particular
is afame with radical activities. II
is noticeable all the way from Los
Angeles 10 Seattle This issue is not
merely over the proper relationship
between labor and capital
Soap box orators, speakers at
public meetings and a large guam
tity Of literature are openly advocat-
ing actual revolution. II is plainly a
bolshevik movement.

ty consists of 10000 acres. The sale
was made to Mr.. j. A. Elledge and a
sndicate composed of men, some of
St. Louis and others from the East.
1t is the intention of the new COM

work and open up the old mines on
much larger scale than ever before,
and we are assured that the claim of
1892 to 1896 that the mine was work

that the surface has hardly been
touched, when the great body of iron
to be there is considered. When we

we were taught that iron at Iron
