ATTEMPT TO
INACCURATE A
TEN-HOUR DAY

That Everett mill-workers will
not readily relinquish the eight-hour
day has been proven by their re-
fusal to go to work at seven o'clock
Monday morning at the boX-factory
at Blackman's Point.
Last Saturday night the men were
told that the boX-factory would run
ten-hours for a time and they were
to report for work at seven o'clock
Monday morning. Seven o'clock
Monday morning arrived and only
seven men reported The crew were
at the mill at eight o'clock that
morning as usual and the mill be-
gan cutting. The engineer asked
the superintendent, it is reported,
what time he should blow the whis-
tie in the evening and the reply was,
Give o'clock as usual"
The men alleged to have reported
at seven o'clock were McGaffey and
son Ray, filers; Archie Cannon, saw
yer; Ruggy, lumber piler; John
Rudy, engineer; Sponek, millwright,
and two settlers.
Nearly all the lumber pliers quit
Monday morning. 1t is reported
that Saturday evening they told the
superintendent they would not work
ten hours. He is alleged to have
replied, 81 don't blame you.
wouldn't work ten hours either
Many mill workers believe that
the attempt to operate ten hours
at the box factory was the first
attempt to break the morale of
the workers and that had they been
able to get the "saves" to work
from seven to six that other mills
and camps in this county would i'm
mediately have begun the longer
work day. Several have reioiced in
the stamina shown by the slaves
at the Point.

out food or adequate clothing.
Miss Elizabeth Boswell, secretary
Of organized charities at Meriden,
says that in scores of homes small
children have lived since Christmas
on bread and coffee.
Little children crying for food,
their parents and older brothers and
sisters unemployed and hungry, is
the pathetic problem that charity
workers in New Haven, Danbury
and other industrial towns are en-
deavoring to meet to the best OF
their ability.

A FEW PLAIN
FACTS ABOUT
NORTH DAKOTA

Usher L. Burdick, state president
of the North Dakota Farm Bureau
Federation and member of the board
Of directors of the United States
Grain Growers, Inc, declared on his
return from Chicago that he found
it necessary in the Chicago confer
ence to speak plainly about the sit
uation in North Dakota.
"There were so many knocks at
North Dakota by members of our
own committee, who were ignorant
of condition there, and simply took
their views from unfriendly newspa-
pers," said Mr.. Burdick, that at
last | asked for permission to speak
for Is minutes, and have my re
marks Incorporated in the minutes.
Permission was granted and had
my say.
Il told them I was not a Non
partisan. l told them had been
fought by the Nonpartisans when
ran for governor. But | told them
that we have a constitution in this
state. l told them that under that
constitution the people of the state
have certain rights. One Of these
rights is to say exactly how the
state shall be governed.
Il told them that again and again
the people had declared in favor of
a state mill and elevator. l showed
that it will take only 5000 600 to
build this mill and elevator and
that when it is completed it will
hold 1900 600 bushels of wheat and
will be able to clean and forward
$50 cars of wheat per day. l showed
that this mill and elevator will fit
exactly into the plan of our ma
tional sales agency.
81 told them it was all rot about
North Dakota being bankrupt.
told them there is one national bank
in my town of 5000 population that
has a larger debt than the whole
state of North Dakota. told
them we have 2S0,0Q0 quarter sec
tions of land, with a debt against
each of only a few cents. l told
them we have 100000 invested
in our public institutions, ! said we
have only God knows how many bill
lion dollars worth of coal lands,
said that, instead of being bank
rupt, there isn't a state in the Union
so far from bankruptcy as North
Dakota"
That MIR. Burdick's defense of
North Dakota bore fruit is proved
by an item in the weekly news
service of the National Farm Blu
reau Federation, dated April 81, in
which it is stated that the Mill and
Elevator bonds will be sold as the
result of his endorsement and ac-
tivities.
Interviewed concerning the enter
prise, Mr.. Burdick said: "The state
of North Dakota has already ex-
pended $l,0O0,000 on the plant at
Grand Forks, which will have one

Minus $4,000 And
Bill Haywood

Chicago, May 15.-Members of
the |. w. W. asserted today that
$4,000 of their funds disappeared
when "Big Bill" Haywood, their
former leader, fled to Russia to
escape twenty-year prison term
They have no hopes now that he

America to begin his sentence. They
have been going through his books

secretary of the organization today:
"Weve got to get busy now and
raise $4,000 to make good the bonds

INJUNCTION
AND SUIT FOR
BIG DAMAGES

Seattle, May 17.-Federal Judge
E. E. Cushman today granted a
temporary restricting order against
six local maritime associations and
unions enjoining them from picket
ing and trespassing shipping board
vessels. Hearing set for next Fri
day.
Seattle, May 17.-Suit was filed
in United States district court to-
day asking for the restricting order
and for an award of $4,000 a day
from May l for damages alleged
to have been caused by the unions
which have tied up shipping through
"obstructing and hindering the I'm
tied States in the operation of its
vessels"
The organizations are:

The government petition alleges
that the United States gives pref

and the defendant Sailors Union
of the Pacific, Seattle branch, is
largely composed of aliens or ma
turalized citizens and through its
"list system" provided that aliens
shall precede American born in en-

great effort and now that it is
created the United States intends to

The government intends to keep

This strike was caused by a re-
duction of Is per cent in the wages

pay than is necessary to a decent
standard of living-not as much.

try must be getting poor.
The appropriations for the year
1920 amounted to the neat little
sum of $5,6S6,005, FOG. and SO per
cent of this was for past wars, the
maintenance of the Army and Navy
and for preparations for future wars
That is why the country is poor.
Of course the United States can.
not avoid payment of 1885 ,4S2 ,586
for past wars, but the government
can greatly reduce appropriations
for the maintenance of the Army

There's a "nigger in the wood

need not be surprised to learn that
