Mr.. Alex Gackowski, Plant Mgr,
Kenfield- -Lamoreaux Co.,
Washburn, Wis.
My dear Alex:
On my return from Cleveland
this morning | find your letter
Of April 29th, enclosing petition
from large number of our en-
pIoyees, suggesting that we
grant to them an eight hour d ay
with ten hours pay. | lhave read
this over very carefully and
noted the names which were
signed to this and assure you
that ! am very much pleased
that our employees feel that
they can approach the Office with
a proposition of this kind, and |
only wish it were possible for
US to meet their wishes in part,
if not in full.
We are compelled, however, to
view the situation from the
standpoint Of competition from
other box factories, and would
find it entirely impossible to
operate the Washburn Plant and
make dollar profit, if our COM
petitors in the same line Of busi-
ness were running ten hours on
the present ten hour wage scale.
One thing the management de-
sires more than anything else, is
to be on cordial friendly rela-
tions with its employees, and
will be among the first to adopt
any measure which will enable
them to share more literally
with its employees by increase
in wages, or shortening of hours
or division of profits, but the
company is not strong enough to
stand out alone while most of
the other box factories are not
called upon to make this change.
/ would be glad to have you
communicate to the boys in the
factory our attitude in this mat
ter, and assure them that it is
cur desire to pay the highest
wages going in the box factory
line as we'll as enable them to
earn a bonus in addition to the
same.
| return herewith the petition
and sincerely hope that every
thing will work out satisfactorily.
Yours very truly,
M. S. Lamoreaux.
President.

Maurice Hansen Of Washburn
Creamery Leads State in Test
Has an Average Score of 95.25 in Re-
cent Scoring Test Conducted
at Madison.

The Chequamegon Creamery
Association and their butter
maker Maurice Hansen have
reasons to feel proud over re-
cent scoring test conducted at
Madison in which the Washburn
butter scored highest in the
competitive test, receiving a
mark of 1928 for the three tubs
sent for testing. This is re-
markable test and one over
which the stockholders of the
creamery, as well as the people
of this district have reason to
feel proud. Below we publish
the letter regarding the test:
University OF Wisconsin,
College of Agriculture
Madison, Wis.
May 8, 1890.
Mr.. Maurice Hansen,
Washburn, Wisconsin.
Dear Sir:
: The quality of the tub butter you
sent to our scoring exhibition was
exceptionally good, in fact, among
the best we received this time. In
closed am sending you the score
cards of the judges who examined
the butter.
suppose II you could keep out
some of the seven day old cream,
the quality would be even better.
] :sS.ice that you are pasteurizing
the cream snd this was probably
helpful in making the good quality.
You evidently were little modest
in scoring the butter yourself, as you
placed it one point below the average
of the judges.
The salt and moisture content is
about right and ! hope you will be
able to make as good butter as this
tub during the entire season. How
ever you should not let up on your
efforts to induce the farmers to de-
liver their cream more often than
every seven days, which ! notice on
your report blank is the age of some
of the cream you receive.
A check for your butter will be
you in due time, as it
will be sold here. You will of course
notice that we deduct the express
charge for delivery of the butter,
Csc, and the small fee of twenty
cents to pay printing, postage,
clerical work, etc., connected with
the receipt and shipping Of your
butter.
Very truly yours,
E. H. Harrington,
Dairy Department.

WASHINGTON, March 25:-Of
paramount importance in legislative,
administrative and diplomatic circles
Is the curse to be followed by the
United States alternative to the re-
lection of the treaty of Versailles.
Commanding business interests OF
the country at large reflect concern
over the situation.
During the long and wearisome
debate in the senate over the treaty
OF peace with Germany, the public
may nave obtained the idea that the
only question was whether the Unit
ed States should join the League of
Nations. This may have been the
subject most prominently brought to
the fore; 1t may have been deemed
the most important but 1t was Tar
from being the sole issue involved in
h treaty consideration.
In point of fact, the treaty of Ver-
saiIles' principal object was to estab-
lish a status of peace between Eng
land. France, Italy, h United States
together with the "allied and asso-
ciated nations" with Germany. 1t
contained far reaching provisions
bearing upon the business. social and
economic conditions of the peace
settlement which were to affect the
nations concerned for years to come.
1t contained provisions of reparation
for public and private losses entailed
by European governments. and for
private losses suffered by Americans
very important from a financial and
economic standpoint.
That the treaty has been ratified
by the great powers other than the
United States, and in respect to all
he business and economic questions
s now q going concern; that Is to
ay, 1t has started going, for there

at present with his future course in
hat direction, but are deeply inter-
ested in the modus vivendi which VIII
bring order out Of existing chaos re-
speeding the relations of the. United
States to Germany and to h rest OF
Europe in the settlement of affairs
arising out of the war.
The confirmation by the senate OF
the nomination of Bainbridge Colby
to be Secretary of state and tho i'm
mediate assumption of the duties OF
the office by the new incumbent Will
be followed. It is said. very shortly
by announcement of the next steps to
be taken in clearing up the debris
of the war, in which so many vital
American interests are e~ntangled.
The new secretary of state is count
ed upon to be in complete sympathy
with the Presidents views and to be
rfn possession of knowledge concern
ing his plans and wishes. Team work
between the White House and the state
department is therefore confidently ex-
pected.
Still another phase of the situation
arising out of rejection Of the treaty
Of peace is the question OF how peace
shall be legally and technically restor-
ed between the United States and
Germany. While in point of fact,
there is profound peac between the
two nations, and a certain amount
of commercial exchange has even
started, on the record the two coun-
tries are still at war.
The proposal of the Republican ma
jority in the senate to declare peace
through a resolution of congress Is
not acceptable to the President at this
time. The disposition of the majority
leaders is to let the situation rest for a
few weeks until the President can see
his way clear to adopting their sug-
gestion or proposing some method
which would be calculated to receive
the assent of congress-.
