FOR OPEN SHOP

In a plea for the open shop. made
before an audience OF Industrial men
at the chamber Of commerce Friday
night, Jim Osborne, who is now repre-
senting ct Better American federation
with headquarters at Los Angeles,
told Of his experiences in the ship
yards at Seattle during the war and
in the period that followed the sign
ing OF the armistice when reds"
threatened to blow up the city.
Jim Osborne is the man who warned
the loyal citizens OF Seattle 70 guard
their power plant until troops arrived.
after he had learned OF an edict that
mad been passed out from red" head
quarters to wait until the lights go
out" He said the radicals planned to
dynamite parts OF the city. The peo-
pie Of Seattle needed the anonymous
telephone warning and the lights did
nat 90 out
Is Texas Man.
Osborne is a Texan and rode the
ranges Of the state as n cattleman for
many years before taking up the
trade OF boilermaker. When the war
came on he started tn work in the
shipyards at Tacoma, Wash. He later
was elected chief steward OF the boil
ermakers in the yard. HIS duties
were TO pass on the qualifications Of
while the war was on and We were
working as fast and as long as posi-
bic TO get ships into the water to
back up our boys in France who were
giving million times more than we
workers were. protests were made
by some when one energetic man
would drive more rivets in a day than
another That did not seem quite
right to me-"
Suspended From Union
Following the threats Of radical
leaders in unions at Seattle in Febru-
airy following the signing OF the ar
mistice. Osborne broke his affili-
atoms with the union He was later
suspended from the boilernakers'
union. after being found guilty OF
conduct unbecoming a union man, and
OF seeking to disrupt the union
The organization he now represents
Is engaged in a war against radical
ism IN union labor. Osborne takes the
stand that union labor organizations
are now dominated in many instances
by radicals. with whom the average
union man has no sympathy. For this
reason he advocates the open shop as
a means OF justice both for employe
and employer.

SPECIAL TO CONTESTANTS

Because of the phenomenal
and surprising success of the
Idaho Republicans big cam
paign, the publisher wishes to
announce that some of the
awards awaiting the hustlers
may be considerably increased.
1t was the original intention
to award every contestant who
does not win a prize twenty per
cent in cash of the subscriptions
he or she turned in during the
race. ~
HOWEVER, IN THE EVENT
THAT THIS GUARANTEED
CASH COMMISSION, SHOULD
BE GREATER THAN THE
VALUE OF THE PRIZE
WHICH ANY INDIVIDUAL
MAY WIN, THE CONTESTANT
WILL NOT BE ASKED TO AC-
CEPT THE ANNOUNCED
PRIZE, BUT WILL BE PRE-
SENTED WITH. THE CASH
COMMISSION INSTEAD.
While this arrangement is
most unusual one and will like
ly mean considerable outlay
in addition to the thousands of
dollars appropriated for prizes
at the opening Of the campaign,
the management is deeply APP
preciative of the splendid work
being done by the contestants
and is determined that each one
will be amply rewarded in pro-
portion to his or her efforts.

GARAGE IS BUILT
ALONG new LINES
Bills Garage Of Modern
Type Reinforced
Concrete

Work is progressing ON the new
Bills garage, and the public have q
chance to see some concrete con.
struction that is somewhat new and
different. Big buildings are made
now of reinforced concrete, with an
amount of steel in them that is a
surprise to most people.
The floor of the Bills garage is
built on what is called the shell
plan. The horizontal beams of con-
crete take the place of wood or
steel Orders as in the old style of
construction. The posts are all of
concrete, and are poured with verti-
cal steel rods in. False work is put
in to support the floor until it hard
ems, and all the floor is laid with
steel arches about two feet wide
running the length of the building.
These arches are all sheet steel and
are taken out after the cement hard
ems. The cement itself has steel
rods reaching across every suspen-
sion, and thruout the whole length
of the building. The whole floor is
poured and kept wet while it hard
ems, and then the steel shells and
all false work are taken out, leaving
the solid rock floor fully arched
and reinforced with steel. 1t ID
imper1shable and unbreakable with
ordinary strain, and is the latest and
simplest construction available.
The forms are now in position for
the posts above the ground floor,
and the concrete will be hoisted to
the level of the first floor and poured
in. making the supports for the
whole superstructure. 1t is fire.
proof excepting for such finishings
and furnishings and stock as may
be put in after the body of the build
ing is completed. 1t is concrete
work from basement to the roof,
and an electric elevator will receive
and lift them to the up
per story or lower them into the
basement.
The building is an example of ad-
vanced ideas in plans and construc-
ton and will be pointed to as a
monument of progress on that &C
count. This will make the fifth in
stitution in Blackfoot to be rated
high in efficiency and advancement
so that it attracts visitors to the
town and to them individually when
people visit the town casually. The |
other four are Pendlebury's potato
the Boyle hardware, the
Dore meat market and our lately
acquired modesty prevents our nam
ing the other one.
Mr.. Bills has shown unusual cour-
age in erecting his building at time
when the price of materials and labor
we're considered at the peak, and the
,act that he needed the building for
business was the reason
or his adding that monument to the
own under such conditions.

One of the most popular and one
of the best hustlers in the entire
race for one of the large touring
cars in the Idaho Republicans big
campaign is MISS Edith Christen-
sen of Firth.
Miss Christensen, altho having
been quite busy with her regular
duties at the First National bank of
Firth, has found time to be one of
the real contenders for big honors.
Miss Christensen has had the honor
of leading her district and the en-
tire race time and again.
It is problematical If she can con-
tinue her lead through this fast last
period, but from the support that
her innumerable friends are giving
her she is going to be mighty hard
to beat.
