THE CALL OF THE WILD

With the approach of warm weather (will the chamber of commerce please pardon the radical characterization Of our summers and credit us with l. one only-knock on the town?) We have been deluged with demands to call a meeting of the down trodden in local households at which there shall be a reorganization of the local branch of the Amalgamated Associa- ton of Ice drain EmptierS-
 (Statement of PrincipIes)
 For the benefit of those who are not acquainted with this worthy institu- tion, we quote the following from the Camel's Back of August 21. 1919:
 We hereby announce the formation of a local branch of the Amalgamated Association of Ice-drain Emptiers. Tn order to qualify for membership the applicant must give positive evidence that he is the goat in his Cor her) household on whom is showed the task of emptying the can under the ice drain. If your pants is baggy and wore at the knees it will be accepted as prima facie evidence of servitude.
 As members of the union, we insist upon the following rules and regula- tions to govern the profession:
 1. Receptacles must be large enough as to require emptying only once a day.
 ?. We don't do no scrubbing around  gets too full it aint no fault of our n.
 3. Anybody caught leaving the ice box door open, with consequent in creasing of our labors. will be shot at sight by any member of the union
 4. We reserve the right to empty the water any where's we please and we aint goinga stand around holding a pan of ice water until friend wife hunts up dish to put it in, no mat ter if she never gets her hair washed or not.
 5. None of this here waking up in the middle of the night and saying, Dear, wake up. You forgot to empty the ice drain," If we forgot. it is our business and if friend wife don't know no better'n to wake up in the middle of the night with such foolishness, who's to blame?
 6. Wages: Full time always. time and a half for over time and double pay all the time. We welcome lock out.
 We reserve the right to add to these bylaws without notice.
 Write your own union card and send it into headquarters.

 There is general misunderstanding also as to the effect Michigan primaries where except in the of the four delegates at large each district expressed preference is therefore, not bound by the at The states preference was de- cisively Johnson, but that vote him certainly only the thirty votes which NIichi- will have in te convention It is stated that he carried only minority of the district primaries, General Wood the rest.
 That the state may have endorsed the stand of Senator Johnson with reference to the treaty, that large number workmen in the great manufacturing cities have preferred him for their champion does not overcome the personal preference the rural districts expressed for General Wood.
