Strike Epidemic Ended
[By Ralph F. Couch, United Press
Staff Correspondent
WASHINGTON, Sept. 29.-Organ-
lied labor is beginning to moderate
its drive for repeated wage increases,
Edward F. Cunningham of the con-
ciliation bureau of the labor depart
ment said today, probably as direct
result of the countrywide price cut
ting wave"
"The strike epidemic seems COM
pletely ended" said Cunningham.
''Not more than $4,000 men now
are involved in labor disagreements.
Only two cases were referred to the
department this week for readjust-
ment. A short time ago we got from
seventeen to twenty new cases each
week. More men are working regu-
larly now than at any time since the
armiStice.
"The rank and file of organized
labor seems willing to wait the re-
suits of the price cutting wave. If
it should prove a permanent reduc-
ton in prices the result, Of course,
would be equivalent to higher wages.
The worker would be able to buy
more commodities and more varie-
ties" ..-.a

ANNUAL CHRISTMAS
SEAL SALE is ON
S250, 900 Fund is Goal For Mime
sofa This Year. County Or
ganization Begun.

Minnesota's annual Christmas Seal
Sale is on, organization of special COM
mittees to conduct the 1920 drive for
funds with which to continue the fight
against tuberculosis and other diseases
being under way in every county in the
state, according to an announcement
made by the Minnesota Public Health
Association at St. Paul, Friday. The
goal of the 1920 Christmas Seal Sale
in this state is a $25O,OOO fund, each
county concentrating its efforts upon
selling at least 10 cents worth of the
famous penny health seals or the
equivalent in health bonds for every
one of it's residents.
Last year Minnesota invested ap-
proximately s15O,0OO in health through
the purchase of Christmas Seals and
Health Bonds, leading all states in the
Mississippi Valley in per capita sales.
This fund, spent chiefly through the
county public health associations, is
being used to educate the men, women
and children of Minnesota in health
needs and for actual preventive work.
Disease never quits-Neither does
Minnesotap is the war-cry Of the
public health crusa ders who are de-
termlned to surpass last years record
by obtaining the largest per capita sale
OF Christmas Seals of any state in the
union. The intensive selling drive is
from December l to 10.
More than half of the counties al
ready have appointed seal sale directors
and are completing their campaign
organizations.

ALL Ex-SERvICE MEN
CAN APPLYFOR MEDAL
Entitled to Decoration Regardless
Of Whether They Serve in
France or Not.

In some localities the idea that
only men who served overseas during
the World war are entitled to the Vic
tory medal seems to prevail. This
idea is erroneous and for, the benefit
of those who have this opinion the
following extract from general orders
No. 33, War Department, 1919, as
amended by General Orders No. 12O,
War Department, 1919, is quoted: "a
war service medal will be awarded to
all officers, contract surgeons and en-
listed men who served on active duty
in the Army of the United States at
any time between April 6, 1917, and
November IL, 1918, and whose service
was honorable,
It does not matter whether Dough-
boy served in the United States,
France, England, Russia, Italy, Philip
pines, Hawaii, or in some other place,
or whether he was an officer, army
field clerk or enlisted man, he is en-
titled to the Victory medal. The same
also applies to women who served as
army nurses.
There are one officer and eight army
field clerks handling the distribution Of
Victory medals in The state of Mime
sofa. Field Cler!ss are stationed in
the following cities to help ex-service
men prepare their applications: Mime
apolis, St. Paul, Duluth, Mankato,
Owatonna and Crookston.
Arno H. Loose, president of New
Ulm Post, World War Veterans, has
been assisting the ex-service men Of
this city and vicinity in filling out their
applications for Victory medals. He
recently received an additional supply
of application blanks and will gladly
help local Doughboys in preparing
them for submission to the War De-
partment at Washington, D. C. He
charges nothing for his services.

DIRECTION OF SCHOOLS
Educator of High Repute To be

ceived from the campaign headquarters

FINGERS HURT IN SHREDDER.

While assisting with corn shredding
on the Ben. Rosenau farm in Milford,
Saturday morning, Frank Wandersee,
Jr., Of the same township had the mis-
fortune to have the sharp shredder
knife strike the three last fingers of his
left hand in such a manner as to cut
the flesh from the inside of the digits,
almost to the bone! The young man
came to New Ulm and had his injuries
dressed by local physician, who found
it necessary to take several stitches in
closing the wounds. The exceedingly
dry condition of the cornstalks caused
them to clog the machine and it was
while trying to remove this obstruction
that the accident occurred.

Kaleidoscope view that presents itself
to the voter who will go to the polls on

candidates carefully before attempting
to exercise his franchise. This will be

coming acquainted with the names of

NEWLY ENFRANCHISED VOTER
SHOULD NOT FAIL TO
REGISTER OCT. 26.

In some quarters an attempt is ap-
parently being made to discourage the
women in the ranks of the oommcn
people from going to the polls at the
coming general election, by spreading
reports that they will not be allowed to
cast their ballots. Such statements
are absolutely false and are probably
being circulated in the hope of keeping
the wives, mothers, daughters and
friends of the farmers and labor from
participating in the election Women
can vote on November for candidates
for all Offices, from President down to
county commissioner, and this fact
should be borne in mind by members
of the gentle sex who are anxious to
help bring about better living con-
ditions for the common people.
Women Should Register.
It has also been stated extensively
that women cannot vote unless they
are registered. This also is not true
in cities of the fourth class, which in
cludes New Ulm, and in villages and
townships. But it is best that all
women who are entitled, by virtue of
their age and citizenship, to participate
in the coming general election, register,
as this will save much time and trouble
on election day. This also applies to
those men who failed to vote at the
June primaries, or who have changed
their place of residence since that time,
as we'll as to young men who have at
tanned their majority since Junes21.
Registration Day, Oct. 26.
Tuesday, October 26, one week before
election day, is the time to register in
New Um. On this day the judges OF
election will be at the polling places
in the three wards and register all
applicants. To insure their names
being on the register on election day,
all women ought to go to the polling
1 places in their respective wards on
Tuesday, October 26, and give their
names to the judges. Remember
however, that ii, for any reason, you
have been unable to register, you may
still vote on election day, only on that
day you will be taking additional time

CITY TAXLEVY
TO Be $4,000
$4,000 IN EXCESS OF LAST
YEARS AMOUNT. $4,000
FOR CITY STREETS.
PROPOSAL TO CREATE STREET
OILING FUND FAILS TO
RECEIVE APPROVAL.

Considerable discussion was occa-
stoned at the regular monthly meeting
of the city council, last Tuesday even
ing, while the city fathers were con-
sidering the 1920 tax levy to be col
lected next year. The council was
almost equally divided as to the ad-
visibility of creating a street oiling
fund by adding $4,000 to the general
tax levy and this proposal was finally
dropped, it having failed to receive the
approval of majority of councillors.
Tax Levy VIII Be $4,000.
The finance committee, composed
of Councillors Aufderheide, Mueller
and Lieb, submitted it's report re-
commencing that the 1920 tax levy for
New Ulm be fixed at $4,000, with an
additional levy of $4,000 for the pro-
posed street oiling fund, making a
total Of $4,000. The latter figure
would be S20,0O0in excess of last years
levy and a number of councillors were
rather reluctant to increase the taxes
by such large amount in one year.
After discussing at length the matter
of creating street oiling fund, it was
decided to abandon this proposal at
this time, and the levy was finally
fixed at $75,000, to be divided among
the Individual funds as follows:
Street fund 3O,0GO
Interest and Sinking fund -. 1000
Fire Department fund. 5000
Park fund ..... 5000
City Cemetery fund ...... 5000
Municipal Building fund ..... 10000
Sewer fund 5000
Last years figures for the individual
funds were as follows: Street fund
