is in the city in connection with the
action taken by the company at this
time.
In making its decision the Crook

close today, because Of it being the
last Of the month. This will permit
them to wind up their books aud
records at the close Of the month.
On another page of this issue ap-

the announcement or notice Of clos
ing in detail. The notice states that
pay checks will be ready Saturday,
May 1st, after five o'clock in the
afternoon.
Operation Of the plant will be re-
sumed in the different departments
just as rapidly as employees indicate
their willingness to cooperate with
the management in carrying out their
program as outlined in March, before
the sawmill started. ......
- The wage scale, Of which nothing
but expressions Of satisfactton haye
been heard, will be the same - 1t
has been the past month and Will not
be changed during the present season,
no matter what adverse conditions
may arise, should the mill resume

pany has had in the past twenty
seven years, according to officials,
and in reaching its decision to close.
the company does so without 'vindic-
tiveness or retaliation in any form,
but on the contrary seeks the hearty
of the good citizens OF

The mills at Fort Francis will con-
tinue to operate on the ten-hour open
shop basis, being run just a. it has
for the past ten years. @...
The company has great faith in
the ultimate good judgment and 10y
atty Of the men, the notice states,
and considers the class Of workers
employed to have no superiors in the
Northern Pine field.
It was also pointed out by officials
that many of the men were not in
favor Of the strike, but that their
action at this late date was controlled
from without its own ranks and that
there was little they could do but
obey the mandate of the larger bodies
at this time.
The most kindly feeling prevails
toward the former employees, but
states in it's notice that the seasonal
character of numbering manufacture
ing operation in Minnesota, where .
seven months season is the outside
limit, remains the same, owing to cir
matte conditions, for which none Of
those concerned are responsible.
