Union labor will start at once to

That was decided on at the regular

The committee appointed to invest

An attorney has been secured and

organization. The corporation, which
will be cooperative in character, will

will also loan money on homes and

ORDERS PROCTOR. =. :.
MEN RE|NSTATED
Labor Board Renders Decision
Favorable to Union Men Dis
charged Without Cause.

Samuel Thomas, one of the leading
labor men at Proctor. who was dis
missed by the Duluth, Missabe &
Northern railway Oct. S, 1920, charged
with being absent from his work for
10 minutes to investigate the alleged
infraction Of union rule, was or
dered reinstated with full seniority
by a decision of the railway labor
board announced last week.
The board held that 10 minutes
absence from work was not suffi-
cient reason from Thomas dismissal
and he was allowed full time from
the date of his discharge until his
reinstatement, less any amount of
money he might have earned in the
meantime.
Mr.. Thomas is a coach cleaner and
local chairman of the Carmens' union.
On the morning Of Sept. Is he had
been notified that helper was per-
forming mechanics work in the tank
shop in violation of the national shop
rules. According to the evidence sub
mitted to the board permission to
leave was not obtained because of
the temporary absence of the fore
man and no investigation was had
prior to Thomas dismissal.
All machinists and helpers en-
ployed at the Proctor shops who
were discharged during the wipers'
strike in September were also ord cred
reinstated by the board.
The men were-@ischarged on Sept.
8, and II, after disagreement over
the failure of the road to observe
the provision of the national shop
agreements. The situation was aggra-
waited by a strike of employees of q
contracting firm doing some of the
work in the roundhouse and who
were not paid wages by the contractor
equal to those paid for similar la boz
by the railroad.
While the contractors employes
were on strike the railroad men Were
required to do the contract work, re.
sulting in protest that ended di.
rectly in their discharge. The case
was brought to the board, which de.
clded that the carrier was primaril,
at fault. The men were not granted
back pay for time lost.

emo Sproul has signed the, coal tax
bill which imposes tax Of IL per
cent of the value of anthracite coal
at the mouth. of the mine.
Coal mining companies did not
make much protest against this bill

The bill is expected to yield a. reve-

by the state supreme. court on the
ground that it lacked uniformity be-

STOLEN AUTOS ARE
 FOUND LAKE ERIE SHORE

BUFFALO, March Is (by Associat- ed Press). - The finding of the Wrecks of seventeen automobiles at the foot of a cliff on the south shore of Lake Erie, a few miles west of Buffalo, has convinced the police that companies insuring against theft have been systematically cheated Insur- ance companies, in self defense, are carefully examining candidates for in surance of this kind.
 In this lake shore graveyard of au. tomObiles are makes of many sorts, from the plain runabout up to the pretentious limousine Marks on the edge of the S5 foot cliff and the con- dition of the machines indicate that the automobiles were set afire before being sent over.
 The theory of the police is that the machines were stolen from their owners, insured against theft under fictitious names, reported stolen so that the insurance could be collected and then destroyed to prevent detec- tion for theft.
 Police records show that in three months, ASA cars wVe stolen, fl of which were found burned or de- stroyed and 108 are still listed as missing
