Care of Workmen.

The sanitary condition provided for
the men who work in the mill were
fine. The sleeping department was
provided with iron beds, sheets and
plenty of blankets, looking glasses,
dressers, electric lights, water, etc.
The convenience of lockers for each
employee, sanitary drinking fountains
in each department are found with
pure spring, flowing water. The
management have certainly neglected
nothing that would add to the comfort
and care of the workmen. At the noon
hour we stepped into the kitchen and
dining room where the men and wom-
en- were having their dinner. This was
the menue which they had on that day
for dinner:
Weiners and Sauer llraut, boiled to-
gether, Goldfish and new potatoes with
gravy, white bread and creamery but
ter. picked beets, tea and coffee with
cream and brown sugar, boiled rice
with chocolate sauce. We ate dinner
with the men and take this opportunity
of extending our compliments for a

NEkOOSA-
EDWARDS
PAPER Mill,
RUNNING
A Visit There Friday Proves All Re-
ports False to the Contrary.

Many stories have beer circulated
and published of late in reference to
the conditions at the Nekoosa- Edwards
Paper Mills at the South Side, Port
Edwards and Nekoosa since the strike
took place eleven weeks ago. Wheth-
er these stories have been warranted
by the facts and truth, is what prompt
ed our visit to these mills on Friday,
August 20 We went direct to the Ne
lzoosa plant and reached there about
II o'clock a. m. While the mill yard
was enclosed and picketed on the out
side near the gate entrance by the
strikers we were not disturbed or in
suited by them in either going in or
out Of the enclosure.

Condition i'm Mill.

In the company OF Edward +. Glea-
son, chief engineer, and G. NJ Hafen-
brack, we were shown thru the plants.
We found the mill conditions just as
the strikers left them with these ex-
ceptions: One paper machine of the
four that is located in this mill was
running and being cared for just as we
have seen them at other times. The
same number of men, all efficient in
their respective positions. The neces-
pairing the stock for the Kraft paper
which was being manufactured on this
machine. The finished product was
being cut to proper size, wrapped and
being loaded in three freight cars on
the siding. In the machine shop we
met Arthur Mulroy, who was busy
oiling, cleaning and putting machines
and tools in order with other workmen
In the shipping department we found
Miss Ruth Kinney making record
of shipments etc. In the tool depart
ment we noticed two young ladies at
their desks working. In the boiler
room men were looking after two fur
naces which had fires burning under
them. In the power house we met
Louis Koehn, engineer of Hydraulic
and Electric department, and every
thing here was in excellent condition.
He was a genial man to meet with
from whom we obtained much valu-
able information about conditions thru

PLAN ANOTHER
CONFERENCE
Meeting Will Be Held Fri
day Night--Sone Boiler
makers Left Session Last
Night.

The allied trades employed at the
Pensacola ship yards will hold a secret
conference Friday night this week at
o'clock at a hall to be selected today
by a committee. according to a vote
taken last night at the meeting of car
penters who walked out, and their sym
pathizers.
The object of the secret meeting, it
was stated, would be to discuss the
refusal of the shipbuilding company
to receive a committee of the men
last Monday morning. Arrangements
were made for guards representing the
various unions to be at the door and
prevent the entrance of any person
not having paid up union card, and
a collection was taken to pay for hand
bills to announce the meeting to all
members of the unions involved.
Soon after the meeting was called
to order last night, a number of the
boilermakers employed at the plant of
the Pensacola shipbuilding company
became manifestly dissatisfied because
of failure on part of the carpenters
to accord them the recognition in the
meeting that was expected in view of
the fact that at the meeting Monday
night it was determined that the meet
ing last night should be a joint af-
fair, and with J. G. Flynn, quarter
man of ship filters en- huh go as
spokesman and leader, a number left
the hall after a brief explanation to
the audience as to why they We're
leaving.
From statements made by some of
the members of the boilermakers
union leaving, it was gathered that
at previous conferences some haG
taken the position that the grievances
of the carpenters were unfounded
1t is understood that some of the
members of the boilermakers union re-
rnained and that others returned to
the meeting and stayed through it.

CITY MOBILE
FIRE SWEPT
Fifteen Hundred People Are
Made Homeless AS Result
of Blaze That Started in
Trash Pile.

Mobile. May 21.-A fire, which is be-
Iieved to have started in trash pile,
swept through many blocks in the
oldest section of the city here late to-.
day, destroying about two hundred
houses and half dozen stores. The
property loss is estimated at a half
million About 1900 persons are home
less, chiefly employees inl industria
plants. 1t is believed none are seriously
hurt Relief committees have been
formed. A strong northwest wind
made the fire uncomfortable. and for
a time it threatened millions of dol
lars worth of property, including
docks, shipyards and railroad shops.
Later estimates placed the fire loss
at $750.OOO. Nine and half city
blocks, stores and residences were de-
stroyed, and one man was seriously
injured, being still unconscious late
tonight and yet unidentified.
