FRIDAY, APRIL %, 1920
INCREASED WAGES
DECREASED PRODUCTION.

| '.
If business man makes inn
provements to his plant through
increased expenditures for i'm
proved equipment, he. must of
necessity do an increased bust
ness to cover this added cost.
BY the same reasoning as his
payroll expense per man rises
due to increased wages, he
should secure more efficient
service to offset this added cost
of operation.
The reverse has been clearly
demonstrated to be the case,
however, as hours have been
shortened and pay increased not
only has production fallen off on
the days output but hour for
hour it is below the average
which prevailed before present
high wages and short hours
were in effect.
Increased pay and shortened
hours instead of acting as an in
centive for better work, have
brought the opposite result.
In high wage mining camps
miners are getting so scarce that
mining companies are going to
have to start schools to teach
green hands the rudiments of
mining.
In lumber camps the labor
turnover is so heavy that the
labor cost per thousand feet has
more than doubled.
In both instances man power
production has fallen in proper
ton as hours and wages have in
creased.
The labor condition lubber and
mining industries is typical OF
many other lines.
Just so long as labor continues
to shirk responsibility and work
on the theory of getting all the
traffic will bear for as little re-
turns as possible, just so long
will living costs increase and be-
come constantly more burden
some.

BASKETEERS
 MIN ONE
 AND LOSE ONE
BISON TEAM AGAIN PLAYS TWO
 GAMES IN ONE DAY

Roll out the band wagon, let us sing of victory. Bring out your trophies, let us lavish them on Coach Walker and six noble athletes. The Rison High School basket ball team Hast Friday again played two games in one day. The first game played at Hampton in the forenoon was a 9 to victory. The second game at Camden that night was defeat, 23 to IS, but the local team played un- der such a handicap that it was the sweetest defeat ever handed to us, so sweet that it had the savor of vic tory. Hence our victory song.
 The Hampton game, alias fist fight, was a breezy affair. We laid away our Reach guide, dusted off our Marquis of Queensbury rules and proceeded to arrange the bout in tip top fashion. After several parleys it was decided to have two rounds of twenty minutes duration each instead of three minute rounds as provided for in the dules. This change was made as there were to be ten men in the ring instead of two as originally provided for.
 Every bout has to have beginning, so that Hampton friend, who was to referee, began the fray by letting the two center men have the first scrap. The ball was pitched up and the bout was on. The men rushed from first one side of the ring to the other and see sawed back and forth. z an on one side would grunt and

The drill was broken off in a rock and they moved the drilling machinery over twenty feet and again begun drilling n a very short while. The Elliott we'll No. 1 in Section 34 is at standstilI, but the drilling will probably be re- sumed at an early date. It is being broughe to the public. notice thas many eminent geologists have found and reported this to be one of the most favorable locations for a pres pective oil field, and several of the strongest companies in the country are now interested in getting leases and making preparations for a thor ough test;of this and adjoining coun- ties.

in retaliation an opponent would soon groan. Amidst grunts and groans the round ended with neither side do- ing much damage. The men were breathing hard, they had been warm >ing up for the last round. First round went to Hampton on points, to 8.
 Coach Walker was referee of the last round as our Hampton friend could not stand the strenuous task and collapsed just as the round end ed and had to be carried from the field of battle. The round began with a rush. Like the Gladiators of old who fought till they died the home boys fought till they won. They put their opponents on the defensive, rushed them off their feet and gave them such a terrific pounding that they brought honor and glory down on their noble domes and made the famous battle of Iron River look childish. The round closed with the local lads bruised and bleeding but victors. The round was theirs on points, 6 to 2, and they carried off the bout 9 to 6 which was said to have been Hampton's first defeat at home in years
 The team enjoyed their stay in Hampton but had to chasten away as they were scheduled to play a game of basket ball at Camden and had to rattle on. Morgan did best play ling for the local team although all of the players did fine work.

Cleveland County herald., 1920-12-02

The game at Camden was a Iocal defeat, 23 to IS, but tastes almost like choice victory when we stop to consider that it was the first time any of the local players had eyer been on an indoor court, they had been on the trip since midnight. had played and won one game, had made the trip to Camden, was away from home and their followers, was their first night game and Camden with her salaried coach and Rison with the vol unteer services of Coach Walker. We do not complain nor do we wish to dlscredit Camden's splendid team and their victory. The home team was handicapped and played against odds. We harly expected to win yet hoped against hope for victory. In our mind we pictured the local Hi team in their small athletic state doing what Center vs. Harvard offered to the great football world only few weeks ago. We are proud of our boys and must admit that they have much stronger team than we had ever given them credit of having.
 The game was fast and interest ing. The local team was somewhat awkard on the floor during the first half but were able to hold their own and the half ended tie. Camden forged ahead in the last half, won the game 23 to IS, and gave the To- calls their first defeat of the season.
 Sage, Camden forward, was the star of the game by his fast playing and clever work around the goals All of the local players showed uT strong.
 Coach Walker and his men were highly pleased with the referee, MT. Smead, that the Camden team pro- vided. They praised him warmly for his fair treatment and square deal.

All who are entitled to vote Tuesday will not do So, but there should be q large proportion of them. It will be an unprecedented number and it is of the utmost importance in the city that the voters should get to the polls as early as possible in order to aveid eeAgsstson and to eliminate the possibility of some being deprived of the chance to east their ballot. It would be most anferfu- nate if the closing hour for the polls should come and there should be leag line of voters unable to cast their bal lots within the specified time just be- cause they had delayed until the last minute what might have been done ear, Her in the day
 Getting out the vote win be the work of the town committee but republeans should not wait to be urged or to be called for if it is possible for them te gel to the polls.

It is not uncommon to hear the state- ment made that Norwich ought te have better representation at the state lesis- lature. Those who feel that way, and it is most commendable attitude to take. certainly have the opportunity this year to secure high grade representation through the candidates wiae have been nominated by the republican caucuses.
 In the matter of the 18th senatorial district of which Norwich is a part ex- Mayor Allyn L. Brown as candidate cannot fail to inspire confidence among the voters of the three towns. TheYe will be no danger of a rubber stamp representative if he is selected He will make one of the ablest senators from this district in long time.
 Similarly Dr. George Thompson and C. V. Pendleton are men ef abfiity and action, thoroughly in touch with ecndi, tions and needs and possessing the abii. ity to see that the interests of the town and state are carefully looked after.
 All three should be elected by large pluralities.

 As we view Senator Brandegee in this campaign, he is essential to the articula- tion of the state of Connecticut in the senate of the United States in behalf of American policies of government and American sovereignty. Of his ability there is no question; of his ability no doubt. To these qualities democrats as well as republican members of the senate testify. To him more than to any other sneator is due the original discovery of the great risks to American independence which lie embedded in the covenant of the league of nations. To his insistence upon their actuality is due the scrupulous consideration given the instrument by the great constitutional lawyers. Sem ator Brandegee's ear was not glued to the ground He was not listening; he
 was making thorough study of the covenant.
 It is with no thought of depreciating
 the agreeable personal qualities of Con- gressman Lonergan, Mir. Brandegee's op-
 ponent, that we boldly venture the asser- ton that in point of ability and inde-
 pendence there is no comparison. Nc
 one knows this better than MT. Loner- gan himself MT. Lonergan's attitude to- wards the league of nations is party made; MT Brandegee's attitude is hi' own product assumed and insisted upor without fear of the political e1nse quences.
 I If we had the slightest doubt of thu reelection of MT. Brandegee We should despair of the nation continuing to re cruit from among it's people men who's love of country. and devotion to intellect lual integrity outpoint their personal am bitions and political servitude. We hay
 no idea of pleading in behalf of Senate
 Brandegee He is quite able to take care of himself. We do wish to plea' to the voters in their own behalf t } study well the qualities of mind an' heart which are best calculated to con } trbiute to the peace and prosperity o : the republic In this particular in . stance the election of MT.

Trinity Faculty Members Refuse Anti
 Brandegee Petition.
 The oldest and most influential mem bers of the Trinity College faculty indig- nantly refused to sign petition circula- ted by Professor Hartoune M. Dadouriau of the physics department stating that the undersigned members of the faculty opposed the reelection of United States Senator Frank B. Brandegee. Three who did sign the petition have taken positions at Trinity only this year and have not been residents of the state long enough to have the right to vote here. These men are Professor Vernon Kreible ot the chemistry department who came to Trinity this fall from MacGiIl University at Montreal Canada.N Professor Henry M. Costello, of lthe philosophy depart ment, who came frqsn. Columbia, and Professor Ernest Carey of the Greek de- partment who came from Princeton
 Among those who refused to sign such a statement were President Ogilby Rev Dr. John | McCook Dr. Horace C. Swan. Professor Stanley L. Galpin. Professor Edward F. Humphrey, and Professor Henry A. Perkins, acting president for |1919-1920 Edgar F. Waterman, treas urer of the college and secretary of the board of trustees, when shown the state- ment charaeterized the whole thing as foolishness. When asked if he had been invited to sign the momentous document he said, 'They know me better than that"
 ! Dr. McCook had nothing to say in ex- planation of his refusal to sign the state ment other than because am going tc vote for Brandegee." He felt that the names that were not on the statement i had great significance.

 A powder plant is not shipyard, but in view of the fact that it is understood that the. government is willing to take from three to ten cents on dollar for other war plants where as large and larger investments have been made it can hardly be expected that much better offers than those received are going to be made for Hog Island
 It is not to be expected in view of the way government money vas spent that the value of such plants can be judged l by the costs. but the basis for disnesal in one can be reasonably expected ts hold in others
