A Communication.
Editor Iron County News:

Editor Iron County News:
| bear a great many complaints
about our bank the Iron Exchange
and | think the complaints lust.
They are about the banking hours on
pay days. These days often happen
to be on Saturday and the Cary or
PiekandS- Mather do not commence
10 pay until II O'Clock a. m, and
unless YOU happen TO be one Of the
first TO get your pay and also be for
tunate enough to catch a street car
YOU are too late Cor the bank, and if
you are working days on pay day you
cannot get into the bank at all. 1t
does seem as if they should be a
little more accommodating. Lots of
people do not care 10 cask their check
other than at the bank and it often
costs money which would not be spent
If You con get in a bank. At Calu-
met, Mich, there are three banks
and on pay days they keep open until
9O'clock p. m, so that both the men
working days and nights can get their
checks cashed where they should be
and it does appear to myself and also
many others whom | have heard
speak of this that this little accomda-
ton would not be too much for our
Iron Exchange Bank to give the
public. l am small depositor at
this bank and born citizen and do
not consider this asking Il favor.
Yours truly.

Will Not Boost Farm Wages.

At the Road School held the past
week at Madison under the auspices
of the Wisconsin Highway Com
mission chief engineer Hirst of the
Commission made it clear in a
number of talks given at the school
and in private conversation as we'll
that in its construction and main
tenance work this year the High
way Commission would not inter
fere with farm labor or wages.
We propose to hire our men in the
various counties he said at the
going wages, and if we can't get
the men without paying them I'M
duly high wages, and taking them
from the farms and other industries
which greatly need them, we shall
simply postpone the work until
labor is cheaper. We have an
immense construction programme
on hand, but we shall not pay ex-
cessive prices to have it carried
out. "
The attendance at the Road
School this year was IS per cent
greater thane ever before, and private
citizens were called upon to furnish
rooms because the capacity of the
hotels were notequal to the demand.
