WARNS LABOR OF DUTY
Davis Pleads for Fair Deal to
Both Workers and Capital.
Secretary Of Labor Also Asks Larger
Profits for Farmers Through Lower
Shipping Rates.

Chicago-A plea for fair deal for
capital, decent wage for labor, larger
profits for farmers through lower rail-
road shipping rates, and settlement of
all industrial disputes through confer
ences between employer and employe
with the golden rule as the basis Of
settlement, was made by James J..
Davis, Secretary Of Labor, in an ad-
dress before the Loyal Order Of Moose.
Secretary Davis warned labor that
If it is to take share in the organ
ization and policies Of the nation it
also must take a share in the nations
responsibilities, and declared that la
Dor must see that transportation con-
ditions are such that the farmer can
make fair profit.
Concerning building, he expressed a
wish that law would be passed Civ
ing him power to conduct a national
building inquiry, declaring that he
would spare neither the prof1teering
contractor nor the corrupt labor
leader.
1.-The, farmer markets his labor in
the form of food and raw materials
and at present at very low prices.
The farmer will not continue his food
production on that basis. The work
ers Of this nation must recognize this
situation and what it means to labor
if it is not corrected. They must see
to it that transportation charges are so
adjusted that the farmers product
may reach it's normal market without
mourning an expense so great as to
eliminate the possibility of an
adequate return to the producer.
"They must recognize the fundamen-
tai equality of the labor that enters
into food production and that enters
into manufacture, commerce, and in.
dustry, and that to be prosperous a
nation must be so organized that each
group receives its proportionate
share"

GRAIN MARKETING
AGENCY ADOPTED.
Farmers Vote Unanimously to
Accept Report of Commit
tee of Seventeen.
TO ORGANIZE At ONCE
Grain VIII Be Handled From the,
Time Il Is Raised Until Il
Reaches Consumer.

Observation-Disclosures of the
farmela of the country in convention
voted unanimously to accept the re-
port Of the Committee of Seventeen
which proUded for formation of CO.
operative agency to market the ma
tons grain.
The report was adopted after two
day fight in which various delegates
sought to have it amended so that
pooling OF grain by the farmers would
be compulsory instead of optional as
provided in the report. An amendment
to this effect was defeated by vote
of 81 to 80.
Another amendment, offered by Carl
Williams of Oklahoma, that the pool
ing be made compulsory in states
where wheat is the predominant grain
also was defeated and the convention
then unanimously adopted the COM
mittee of Seventeen report.
Incorporated in Delaware.
Directors of the company, to be
known as the United States Grain
Growers, Inc, were elected, legal steps
preliminary to incorporation under the
laws Of Delaware were completed and
organizations which had found fault
with certain features of the plan ap-
parently had been brought into line.
AS soon as Incorporation papers are
issued, national membership drive
will be started with the view Of bring
ing every grain grower into the or
ganization. It then will be ready to
carry out the plans which its sponsors
declare will curb grain speculation,
obtain larger profits for the farmers,
lower the cost of marketing grain and
tend to eliminate price fluctuations.
Harmony 10 Indicated.
Possibility that the members Of the
Northwest Wheat Growers Association
would not come into the organization
because their plan for compulsory
grain pooling was defeated in favor
Of optional pooling, was lessened when
George c. Jewett Of Spokane, Wash,
general manager of the Northwest
company, was elected a director of the
new organization. Other associations
which favored compulsory pooling
asked time in which to make their
plans, but indications were they
would join the new company.
The Committee of Seventeen has
been at work for six months on the
plan. During that time it has held
hearings in all the grain states, called
NJ -
and sifted dozens of proposals.
The farmers conference voted to
have the Committee of Seventeen d.
vide the grain growing sections of the
country into twenty-one districts, ap-
portioned according to the value Of
the grain marketed in the past ten
years. Market centers, rather than
Estate lines, would govern the limits
Of the districts, it was stated.

HARRY CUMMINGS DEAD
Resided in Eagle River for
the Past Thirty Years
Life q Sealed Book.

In the death of Harry Cum
,mings, for the past thirty years a
resident of this section, nothing
can be learned of his family
history, where he originally came
from, or even his age.
~ Up to the time of his death
Saturday noon, he would not, even
upon the solicitations of his close
friends, reveal where he came
from or anything that would give
clue as to his family connec-
tions. Even his old acquaintance
can but guess as to his age. All
that is known is that he came
here some thirty years ago and
that his age was we'll in the six
ties. Reports are that at one
time prior to his coming here he
was wrestler of note, but beyond
that his life is sealed book.
The funeral and burial occurred
Sunday morning.

Have New Uniforms.

The Eagle River band turned
out on Memorial Day in their new
uniforms which had been received
the week previous Heretofore
the band lacked that one essential
feature which never fails to give
the proper tone to any organiza-
ton of musicians, no matter how
good their musical talents were.
The concert in the evening Mon
day was especially good. Nothing
like first class band to warm up
the blood in the unsteady inclined
person who, at the first thud of
the big drum, realizes that he is
in for a treat without the expen-
diture of anything else but his
time. A band is the one best
asset to any community, and every
citizen should look to it as an
organization worthy of a dona-
ton not once in forty years, but
at regular periods. Music, uni
forms and instruments cost
money, and the players are deserv-
ing of real cash support. They
donate their time which is cost
ing them something, and it is not
unreasonable to expect the public
to support this organization.

OLD SOLDIERS VISIT
Wisconsin and Indiana Civil
War Veterans Spend
Memorial Day Together.

1t was a reunion of Civil War
veterans one from Indiana, the
other a resident of Wisconsin but
a former Indianan-that too k
place in Eagle River the past few
days after years of separation
And the closer knitting together
f<these old comrades was the op-
portunity of rendering homage to
those of their old Civil War com
rades who had passed away long
since.
James Oberholtzer and Samuel
Keefer were men who entered the
Civil War in Indiana, the former
in the 33rd Indiana Volunteer
Infantry, the latter in the Both
Indiana Volunteer Infantry. They
saw service and Mr.. Keefer carries
many wounds as result. Mr..
Keefer married Mr.. Oberholtzer's
sister in Indiana while the Ober-
holtzers were residents of that
state. That was during the early
days when Indiana was infested
with horse thieves. Both Ober-
holtzer and Keefer were members
of the vigilantes, an organization
made necessary to protect the pro-
perty of the stockman against the
depredations of the thieves. Many
were hung before the well or
ganized gang could be broken up.
These two men saw the end of
many of these outlaws.
Mr.. Keefer, together with his
son James H. Keefer and the
latter's family arrived in Eagle
River the latter part of last week
and are guests of the James and
Henry Oberholtzer f amilie S.
James Keefer and family are
spending the opening days of the
fishing season at the Oberholtzer
cottage on Little Buckatoban. Mr..
Keefer is member of the Keefer
Printing Company, located at
Fort Wayne, Indiana.
In the meantime James Ober
holtzer and Samuel Keefer are
spending their time in the village
living over the old battle days,
fraught with multitude of hard
ships that brought out the real
metal Of which men of those days
were made.
These hardy old veterans, to-
gether with E. A. Croker. were
the only remaining Civil War
veterans who attended the Memo
rial Day exercises and who placed
upon the graves of their old COM
rades tokens of remembrances
last Monday.
