STRIKE DUE TO MULE.
Employees of Plymouth Gypsum Com
nanv Take Part, Of Lame Critter

Fort Dodge. Apfil 10.--Strike of
employees in the clay industry sched-
.uIed to begin next Monday, already
has begun.
Workmen at the Johnston Bros.
clay plant at Clayworks are reported
as having quit work yesterday.
The Plymouth Gypsum Company's
mine is idle today. due to an unusual
reason. 1t is not because there is a
union mule in the mine but because
the union miners are taking the
mules part, Miss Maud being en-
plOyed to haul the cars of rock in
the mine.
About a week ago the trouble
started. The mule was alleged to
have lame shoulder. The miners
quit work in protest. They called on
the lady who is the head of the So
ciety for prevention of cruelty to
animals in Fort Dodge. Mrs. Dermer,
and demanded that the mule be laid
off. The Plymouth Company man
agement sent DR.. kadarabek, the
veterinarian, to examine the mule.
He reported back that the animal
was all right to work. The men
came back to work then, but the
company refused to take back two
of the men because they felt the
trouble had been made by them
without cause. Yesterday the min
ers went out again in defense of the
two men who were discharged: The
matter now is up to the general Of
ficers of the Western Federation OF
Labor at Denver. 1t remains to be
seen how soon they will act. The
Plymouth Company claims its con-
tract with the miners runs up to July
l, and that they can not strike ex-
cept in direct violation of that agree
ment.
1t is figured that 800 men will be
on strike in the clay industry alone
here and in Lehigh and Kalo by
Monday.

CHEAPER MEATS A MYTH.
Women Can't Find Cheap Cuts-AII
r.| CamoufIaoe.

Washington, April 9.-Communi-
cations from live stock producers
daily reaching WASHING ton voice a
strong protest against the campaign
of the department of justice advo2
eating cheap cuts OF meat to the wo-
men of the country as an easy and
feasible way of decreasing the cost
OF living. ~
. The claim OF the live stock men is
that the propaganda" fer cheap
cuts conducted by the Depa rtmcnt of
J&Stice is having detrimental effect
On the price of live stock
Women who have attempted to Sc
cure such highly nutritive" and
cheap cuts as the department has
been advertising have not been sue
Cessful in finding the market whcp
such prizes are to be had In fact.
there lis considerable doubt if the
market exists AMI there is reason to
believe that the campaign is hut L
part and parcel OF the governmental
search after panaceas which the
could facts of economic production
simply render unattainable.
kilograms to senators and mem
bers of congress representing the
agricultural community have. brand
ed the activities OF the department of
Justice in connection with the meat
industry as crime" against the
live stock producers. 49,.
Some of these have been put into
the Congregressional Record, one by
Senator Arthur Capper. republi, an
ofS s..S;is:.s, l:177.;o ::..acssca the -:c:;:;
expressed and declared t.that the
whole attempt was nothing but cam
outage" and IAN attempt to fool the
public"
The fact Of the matter Is that the
department of Justices drive against
the alleged profileers in foodstuffs
has not been productive of very big
results. One reason of this may be
found in the fact that the figures OF
the Bureau of Labor Statistics as
revealed from week to week con-
clusively show that for the past IL
months the prices Of what may be
called raw materials delivered from
the farm as distinct from retailed
foodstufrs have increased much less
in price than any other group Of ar,
ticles.
Promises by the department Of
justice that the nation will soon see
a material decline in the cost Of liv-
ing are not borne out at all by the
figures of the bureau Of labor statis-
tics. Because Of previous predictions
there is little doubt in informed
quarters here that the figures f,the
bureau are more trustworthy than
those of the department.
