There is now the greatest possibll-
ity that the strike which has tied
up theKenfield- -Lamoreaux company
plants in this city during the past six
weeks will be brought to a close as
the result Of meeting held at the
Commercial Club rooms on Monday
evening at which the strike ques-
tion was generally discussed and an
other committee was appointed on
the problem of bringing the men and
the company together.
H. N. Stronck, assistant general
manager of the company. was in the
city and the committee met with him
and also conducted a meeting with the
company employees and as a result
of these meetings basis d
getting together was arranged which
is thought will prove satisfactory to
both sides.
Mr.. Stronck left for Chicago yester-
day morning and will put the COM
mittee report up to his company and
there is the greatest hope that the
report will be accepted, in which event
a telegram will be forwarded to the
committee Of the Commercial Club
who will notify the committee of the
and work at the box fact
ory can be started again either Sat
urday or Monday morning.
There is not person in the entire
city who does not feel glad that this
strike is about to be settled and that
men will return to work again at a
wage scale which will be equal, if not
larger than of any other box manu-
featuring plant in the Northwest.
The strike has been an expensive
one to the men, to the company and to
the people of the city as we'll, and
everyone should feel glad that it is
nearing settlement.
1t is said to pc the intention of the
XII company to start the Sprague
mill just as soon as the strike has
been settled and this will give the
crew of nearly three hum
dred men on their payroll and ought
TO make business hum in the city.

By a Vote of 278 to 1O9 They Vote to Retain
Present System
Which Also Means That New High School Cannot
be Built This Year. Want More
Settled Condition.

By vote of over two to one the
voters of the city decided at spcial
election held On Tuesday to retain the
present system of school government
which, had it passed, was one Of the
first steps toward the building of a
new high school. There was only
one ward in the city in which the vote
was anywhere near close and that
was in the first ward where sixty
five votes were cast for the PROPOSE
tion and the same number against.
In all of the other wards of the city
there was good majority against
the proposition.
The men were not the only ones who
did not want to make the change in
the school system as the vote of the
women electors would indicate
There was total of 131 votes cast
by the women of which forty-eight
were for making the change while
eighty-three were against the change,
One hundred and ninety-five men
voted against the change and sixty
one for it.

A largly attended meeting of the
lot owners of the Washburn Cemetary
was held at the Commercial Club
roomslast Friday evening at which
there was a general discussion as to
the new Cemetary association which
was being organized in the city and
the sentiment at the meeting appear
ed to be against the association and
when a vote was taken as to con-
tinuing or discontinuing the asocia-
ton such large majority was a.
gainst the proposition that those who
favored the association decided not
to vote in the matter.
During the winter months inter-
ested persons endeavored to organize
cemetary association, the object
being the beautifying of the ceme
tary grounds, and an association was
organized and the city council or
dered the grounds decided to the as
sociation in order that the law could
be complied with, and it would then
be up to the association to take over
the management of the cemetary.
After this was done the opposition
began. to develp and wild rumors
were started which caused some peo-
pie to doubt the value of the associa-
ton and a large petition was pre-
sented to the Council asking that the
land be not decided. Those who were
back of the organization of the as
sociation did not wish to go ahead if
it was against the wishes of the ma
jority of the lot owners and for this
reason another meeting was called
at which the question was thoroughly
discussed, and the final meeting was
called for last Friday night, the not
ice reading that as many lot owners
as could should be present at the
meeting to decide whether to con-
tinue or kill the association. The
melting decided against continuing the
association, and these wishes will be
carried out.
In almost every city where these
associations have been formed there
has been much opposition at the be-
ginning, but after the people have
seen the wonderful changes brought
about in the beautifying of the city
burial grounds those who were at first
thusiastic boosters.
Washburn people will undoubted-
ly come to this opinion before many
years when an association can be
formed.

GrandrnOthers Vote

One of the things that was noti-
chile at the special election held on
Tuesday at which the women of the
city were able to exercise their right
of franchise was the large number of
the older ladies present at the polls,
indicating that the older generations
are taking just as much interest in
the elections as are the younger wo-
men.
And take it from us that they knew
just which way they wanted to vote
One elderly lady appeared at the
polls and was handed a ballot by the
election clerk, which she took into
the booth. She did not happen to
have her glass along and the first
thing which met her gaze was the
square in which to vote in favor Of
changing the school system. With
out reading further she stepped from
the booth with the ballot in her hand
and exclaimed: 'Don't you ever
think you can get me to mark that
ballot Yes when i am against build
ing high school," The bollat clerk
then showed her that it was possible
to vote either way on the question and
she returned to the booth and again
examined the ballot and found the
space for voting No and she made
her cross in that square and left the
polling place with satisfied look on
her face, indicating that she had ex-
ercised the right of the ballot accord
ing to her own belief.

Wisconsin. Thursday. June 18th. 1920
THREE BLACK BRUTES ARE
LYNCHED AT DULUTH.
Mob of Angry Citizens Wreck Jail
and Mete uOt Punishment Ac-
cOrding to their Belief.

The city of Duluth was the scene OF
a triple lynching on Tuesday night
when a mob of citizens, driven mad
over a dastardly deed ecmmitetd by
the black men, took the law into their
own hands and melted out the kind OF
punishment which they thought the
niggers deserved.
The crime which had been perpe-
trated by the blacks and for which
they were later removed from the Jail
and hanged, was for assault upon
yonug Duluth girl. The girl had
gone to the circus, with her young
beau and the two were watching the
loading of the animals, when black
brute pointed a revolver at the head
of the young man while the other
blacks carried off the young girl and
assaulted her..
The black devils were later ar
rested and taken to the Duluth City
Jail where they were licked up.
During the early evening a report
was circulated to the effect that the
girl victim had died and this so en-
ragged Duluth citizens that a mob
was soon formed and proceeded to the
Jail to get revenge. The police dept,
the sheriff's force and the fire de-
partment were called out to try and
disperse the mob which by this time
numbered some five thousand peo-
pie, but they were driven back by the
mob who turned the fire hose upon
the defenders of the Jail, and after
wrecking the Jail, and removing the
niggers, proceeded to hang the blacks
to one of the lamp standards on a
prominent corner in Duluth.

Men Voters

Had the election held on Tuesday
carried another election would have
had to be held at which to elect three
members of the new school board for
the new school district, and then a.
mother special election would be nee
cesary to vote on the bonding pro-
position, and if this was finally put
across the city would then begin the
construction of the new high school,
but the voters took the short cut and
killed the three propositions at one.
stroke.
Had times and prices been normal
and the business of the city on
footing which they knew they could
depended upon then the voters might
have felt differently about making
change at this time which would per-
nit of an increase in taxation for
school purposes and raising the
bonding power sufficient to provide
funds for new high school building
but many of the voters felt that the
dismantling work at the plant would
soon be ended and the burden of pay
ing the heavy tax would then fall
upon the people remaining and owning
property in the city.
When things at Barksdale get
down to normal basis and there are
other industries located in the city
which will give steady employment to
men so that the people will have
something on which to depend and
city property has a market value that
does not fluctuate then it will not be
a difficult matter to get people to fav
or new high school.
There is no person in the city who
knows conditions at the high school
who does not realize the need of new
building and the Times will be one of
the very first to support the move
ment, but to saddle debt of nearly
100000 unto the people at this time
when taxes are high enough does not
look like good business.
There was not the least POSSIBLE
ity of putting over the bonding issue
had the election Tuesday carried, and
it would have simply meant change
from the present board to board of
three members elected by the people,
with the power to raise as much as
212 per cent more taxes for school
purposes in addition to the present
rate of 31s per cent.

FARMS REPLACE
CHE LUMBER MILLS

MASON, Wis,-As a striking in
dication of the fact that saw mills do
not necessarily make town or the
removal of the mills kill all activity,
is found here in a report of business
conditions here.
A report issued by the Mason Mer-
camille company for the first five
months of 1920 shows sales amount
ing to over sixty-three thusand dol
lars as compared with forty-nine
thousand for the same period in 1919.
This does not include sales of hay
and potatoes and other farm produce.
Deposits in the Mason State Bank
of which C. H. Werden is President
and o. M. Axness is cashier, show
that at the close of May the deposits
amounted to $217,152.03. On the
same day in 1919 the total deposits
were $133,937.95. There is an in
crease of $77,937.O8.
Mason was originally a numbering
town. The White River Lumber COM
pany operated large mill here for
years, later selling out to the Edward
Hines Lumber company. When the
timber was all finally cut few years
ago, the people turned to farming
and the dairying. Present reports
show these industries are florishing.
