BIG MILL STRIKE
Men Mt Wells and Thompson Plant at

What may hamper logging opera
tions in this locality very much is a
strike at the saw mills of the J. w.

Menominee. Should the strike spread
to other places and mills II win cause
a delay in the loading OF logs along
the railway lines and very much
hamper woods work OF those depend
ent upon the mills as purchasers of
their woods output.
Others not connected with the lower
country mills will be helped by the
strike as II will mean more cars for
loading logs and better dispatch OF
cars that have been loaded.
Word was sent over the wires to all
stations last week TO stop furnishing
cars for the two mills affected. This
has caused let-up i'm the car scar
city that has been apparent for some
time.
At the Wells mill over 400 men went
out on Thursday OF last week. They
demanded a raise in pay. The Spies
Thompson plant followed soon after
wards.
II is understood that the minimum
wage at the mills was 1915 per day.
The men asked that 1t be raised to
s4.25, not an exorbitant wage when
contrasted with that paid in the woods
and at the mines.
Committees have been at work dur

a compromise. The men out are

BOARD WITHOUT REQUEST BEING
MADE VOTED INCREASE
GIVE INCREASE AT YEARS END
Teachers Everywhere Are Demand
ing More Iron River Teachers
Present Petition

The board of education of the Crys-
tal Falls school district voted to give
each grade teacher in the schools OF
Crystal Falls township (this to include
teachers In rural schools) fiat in
crease OF $40 per month and to each
high school and special teacher, in
cluding the principal OF the Forest
Park school who has been doing spec
ial work, an increase OF 10 per cent
upon their salary. The increase is to
start with January 1920 The board
voted 70 pay the increase i'm lump

This arrangement was made so as to
reward the teacher who stays by the
board at the end OF her or his contract
obligation while the teacher who
Jumps" contract will lose the in
crease.
This increase was voted without any
demand having been made upon the
board by the local teachers. II came
independent OF any pressure OF any
kind. However. the board recognized
the conditions existing everywhere and
felt that an increase Is justified.

Much Added Next Year

The total shipments OF this concern
for the year just closed was 2,729, ,956.
This represents by no means what
could have been sent TO market by this
interest had the market warranted the
pushing OF work at the big pit at
Wakefield which alone shipped over a
million tons in 1918.
Next year the shipments OF this con-
cern from the Crystal Falls district
should be increased materially as they
have added to their list OF properties
in this section the Judson and Amasa-
Porter mines which should, II pushed
to their capacity. produce as much as
the Carpenter.

property in this section which has not
been developed. one OF the Ravenna
forties upon which a very good size

other Places Affected.


In many other places there has been
demand made by the teachers for In
crease. AT Escanaba Il was rumored
that the teachers had gone on a
strike" but such is not the case At
Iron River the teachers presented a
petition to the board asking for fiat
$500 increase and the board has taken
the proposal under consideration as
may be seen from the following article
which appeared in last weeks Report
er
"A living wage for teachers in the
Iron River schools was asked OF the
school board at their regular meeting
Tuesday evening by forty-nine teach
ers in the local schools. BY living

over present salaries, payable In what
manner the board may direct, but pre-
ferably through an increase OF $40 a
month during the remaining months
Of the school year.
Fred Godlove. chairman and Misses
Kirkland and Crause constituted
committee which presented the petit
tion Of the teachers before the board.
The text OF the document was as fol-
lows:

pared with that OF 1913. the average
yearly salary OF a teacher in the Iron
River schools $4,000 at $500 in com
parison with the aforesaid year;
And whereas Bradstreet's index OF
commodity prices for 1910 was 500;
for 1918 II was 1890 showing an in
crease OF 100 per cent.

ed that the peak OF RI G.. l.. has not
yet been reached.
Aud whereas the board paid by
teachers has increased from 81 to So

increase Of So to IS.
And whereas the salaries OF those
engaged in other occupations have
been increased substantially during
the past year while those In the reach
ing profession have remained practl-
call the same despite the fact that
the training OF a teacher involves a
high school education OF four years
and from two to flye years IN college

Those interested in it showed rare

their dreams planned not for a town
but for a city. Hampden and Crom-
