Base Ball Season Opened in This
City Sunday
Washburn Team Goes Down tolDefeat
ing to 0 Score in Opening
Game.

Manager Joanis' team of base
ball colts went into action in the
first game of the season played
on the grounds in this city Sun
day afternoon when they
stacked up against the Lodle
team Of Ashland.
The game was rather one-sided
but nevertheless interesting,
and although the Washburn boys
went down to defeat to the tune
of a 9 to 0 score, yet the game
was not without brilliant flashes
of play.
Ashland succeeded in putting
three men across the plate dur
ing their first half of the first,
while Washburn gooseegged.
During the fourth inning Ash
land made another score and in
the seventh put three men across
the plate, winding up the ninth
inning with another tally.
At several stages Of the game
it looked as if Washburn might
score, when two men were on
bases with but one man out. but
the 5:ssters IN each instance
whipped the air and the side
was retired.
| During two innings Washburn
made five clean hits in succession
but were unable to score, while
Burke of Washburn was pounded
considerable.
Burke for Washburn was not
given the support he should
have had, but this being the first
game, and the team had not
practlced togei her before, the
errors must be overlooked.
A large and enthusiastic
audience witnessed the game
and the team has the backing of
the people and with a few weeks
practice ought to round into
shape. As soon as the weak
spots in the team can be deter
mined they will be strengthened
and before the season is far ad-
vanced Washburn may expect to
have men in uniform who will be
real defenders of the pennant.

nized.
At a meeting Of the Unior
held on Tuesday evening they
fatty refused to accept the
offers as made, stating that il
was not a matter of wages they
were striking for but a recog-
milton of the Union which in
cluded the basic eight hour day.
We have felt right along that
differences betWee 1 the men
and the company were not so
great but that could be brought
together in some agreement
that would again start the
wheels of the factory turning
and we feel if the Commercial
Club committee will go about
things in the right manner and
treat fairly with both sides that
some settlement can be effected
if both sides are willing to con-
ceed some points, but stand.
pat policy on the part of either
party will not win friends, but
will turn public sentiment one
way or the other.
We'do not believe that either
side should refuse to listen to
reasonable offers or demands
and continue to tie up industries
and say "let the Public be
damned" for the Public as the
third party is as much interest
ed in the controversy as are the
men or the company. and have a
right to be considered.
The public as a rule believe in
the right of men to organize and
they believe.m are entitled to
a fair and just rate of wages,
but they, do not believe either
the men or the company should
tie up industries and denioralize
business and stand out and re-
fuse to listen to argument or
reason simply to satisfy their
own wishes. They believe men
should be entitled to work if
they so desire, without inter-
fere nee, whether they are Or
ganized or not organized.
We are all in hopes of seeing
the company and the men
brought together on terms and
conditions that will start the
factory and the saw mill. All
will welcome the day when
peace again rules in the indus
trial world, for the men, the
company and the public can ill
afford to have these industries
tied up.

Supreme Court Reverses Judgment
of the Lower Court in Road Case
c Ounty Awarded Judgment of $1272.S2
and Costs for Failure Of Contractor
to Complete Job.

A copy Of the opinion of the
Supreme Court, in which judg-
ment was reversed in the case
of Bayfield, county against 5.
Swanson Ogren of Port Wing
for failure to complete a contract
for the building of a road on the
State and County system OF
Highways in Bayfield, county,
has just been received in this
city, the case having been de-
cided by the Supreme court on
May 9Th.
AT the trial of the case in the
Circuit court Ogren was awarded
judgment against Bayfield,
county in the sum of about
$4,000 while the Supreme
{ court reversed the judgment
and awarded Bayfield, County
damages in the sum of $2756. 90
but allowed Ogren a counter
claim of $1484.00 for dirt and
materials moved after he was
ordered by the Bayfield, County
Road Committee to quit his con-
tract, leaving a judgment in
favor Of Bayfield, county of
$1272 81 and interest and costs.
This case was the outgrowth
Of the contract given to Ogren
by Bayfield, county for the NOV
ing of a large yardage of dirt in

], awarded to Balch & Company al
an additional sum, snd the Coun-

Employees Should Get Together and Adjust Their
sand Wheels Of Industry.

! The company, so we are Informed
does not deny the right Of the
men to organize and does no
propose to penalize the men who
belong to the Union, but they dc
reserve the right to conduct ar
open shop and to employ whom
they please to work in Their
factory. They state that their
competitors are working on the
ten hour basis and they must do
likewise, and that increased pro-
duction tends to lessen the over
head expense for office force and
selling organizations, which only
can be made up by the men
working ten hours.
So far as we are Informed
the Union wants a recognition
Of their Union and the right of
the men to organize, and some
have stated that the men do not
object to the open shop plan,
but there seems to be a differ
ence on this point even among
Union members and officials.
The Times has believed right
along, and the writer has so ex-
pressed himself to company
representatives, that the men
were entitled to more money
than they were receiving under
the old schedule in order To meet
the increased cost of living, and
this has been conceded by the
company, but the one point
which the company refuses to
recognize is the eight hour day
which they say they cannot
adopt because Of competition
from concerns engaged in the
same line of business, Abut they
state that as SOON as the basic
eight hour day becomes general
they will be more than willing
to grant it to their employees.
There are many men, men
with families and responsibilities
to meet, who are willing to re-
turn to work again on the new
scale of wages and the promise
of the eight hour day when a
majority of other concerns in
this field adopt the basic eight
hour day, and some of the local
union officials have expressed
themselves as believing this
offer to be a fair one, but it
seems that the men here are be-
ing dictated to from the outside
to stand firm in. their demands
and insist that all points which
they are striking for be recog-

| For nearly a month now, one
of Washburn's principal indus
tries, that of the milling in
terests, has been tied up by
strike and a pay roll that would
have amounted to close to fifty
thousand dollars has been cut off
and more than one hundred peo-
pie have been thrown out of
an ant.
| has been for an
T. out many of the
people 0een lead to believe
that the main object of the
strike was for a basic eight hour
day whereby the wages Of the
men could be materially in
creased if they would work ten
hours, and in the matter of the
wage increase the strikers had
many sympathizers who believe
that they should earn more
money.
The business men of the city
appear to be the goat" in this
controversy, for the cutting off
of a pay roll at this time Of the
year has begun to. greatly
hamper business and with a
view to determining if a settle
ment Of some kind could not be
effected, meeting was held at
the Commercial Club last even
ing at which the strike was dis
cussed and a committee of three
was appointed to try and adjust
the differences and see it the
factory could not be started
again.
There never was a strike won
without public sentiment being
back OF il and& this the local
strike has had but that senti-
fnent is just as sure to turn if
the men turn deaf ear to all
propositions made to them and
refuse to go back to work, and
if the company should refuse to
grant any reasonable demands.
1t is understood, and we are
informed that the local Union
has been officially informed,
that the company is willing to
grant a very substantial increase
in the wage question, offering to
pay as much, if not more than
any other concern engaged in
the same line of manufacture in
the northern competitive field
and in addition to pay the men
four hours additional wages for
| SO hours employment per week.

L. |. Larson and Son Leonard Have
Narrow Escape
We're Fishing in Canoe When it Tipped
Over. We're in Water for
More Than Half Hour. I'D
Number 8

L. I. Larson, proprietor of the
Washburn Bakery. and his son
Leonard, lad about thirteen
years of age, had a close call
from drowning last Sunday
morning at about eight o'clock,
! when a canoe in which they
we're fishing, was accidentally
tipped over.
Mr.. Larson and son and Perley
Peterson had started out Sunday
morning to do little fishing
near the mill docks in a new
canoe which Mr.. Larson had re-
Gently purchased. When the
trio pulled away from the dock
they noticed their dog on the
bank. The dog began to whine
and it was decided TO take the
animal into the boat, and this
act proved to be the cause of
their trouble. While engaged
in fishing the dog tried to get
from the back end of the canoe
to the bow and in doing so over
turned the fraiI craft.
Mr.. Larson was thrown out of
the canoe on one side while
Peterson fell out on the other.
Mr.. Larson was dressed in heavy
clothing and had on heavy
coat with fishing boots on his
feet, which interferred with his
swimming. His first thought
was of his boy and as he at
tempted to save the little fellow
from drowning the lad caught
him around the neck and
dragged him down into the
water.
Peterson, who had started to
swim to shore, noticed the
plight of his companions, and
returned in an endeavor to save
them from a watery grave. He
succeeded in turning the canoe
bottom side up and Mr.. Larson
succeeded in getting hold of the
canoe, but when they attempted
to climb on it, it went over again
and Mr.. Larson and boy went
down.
AS they came to the surface
again they caught hold of the
canoe and after holding on for
some length of time again went
to the bottom.
Thsir plight was noticed by
Hans Thompson and Barney
Kekhoefer, and these two got
| into an old boat and made for
the scene of the trouble. They
had difficulty in getting their
boat over boom sticks. and when
they finally got to Larson and
his boy they were almost ex-
hausted. They were lifted into
the boat and taken to shore
where they were resuscitated
after a time ard were removed
to their home.
Mr.. Larson was able to resume
work again Monday morning az
his bakery establishment. but
he says the experience ne went
through during the half hour
was enough to upset him COM
[pletely and he has not fully
gotten over his experience.

MR.. BRYAN SPEAKS

William Jennings Bryan has said
that, since President Wilson's avow-
ed greatest interests for peace and d
league OF nations to maintain peace
the president should resign and let
Presidcn-elect Harding have free
hand in negotiating peace and league
OF nations. 1t occurs to us as logical
and full OF high principle.
President Wilson can do nothing to
secure peace and normally. His
hands are tied. 1t will speed things
three months faster toward better
times If Mr.. Bryan's advice is follow
ed The sacrifice will place Mr., WI
son and the Democratic party in Z
better light before the people Of Amer
lea.
Some OF those who hate Mr.. Bryan
because of his advocacy of bone-dry
prohibition and others who are just
too small to appreciate his size are
bitter in denunciation of him and his
idea True, Mr.. Bryan puts his prin-
ciples before his party and would de
sert his party before his ideals; but we
can not damn him for that Rather
thank God we have a few eu>h men.
