 ] Kilbane was 32 years old last lApril. Despite this supposed handi- cap, he is confident he will retain his little. Frush is P. or about year 1 younger than Kilbane was when he wrested the championship from Abe Attell on February 22, 1912, at Yer non, Cal.
 Although Kilbane's tiue has not been at stake for five years, he has fought any number of no-decision bouts = Frush is regarded here as his fore l most opponent He has defeated some of the best in the featherweight di- vision, and has far better knockout record than kilbane. In his list are several who went the limit with the champion, One of these is Artie Root of Cleveland. who came dangerously near winning the featherweight cham pionship in a bout here year ago when he landed a punch on Kilbane's chin. only the ropes saving Johnny. Frush has knocked out Root twice, while the latter stuck 10 rounds with the title holder.
 Kilbane has the advantage over Frush in reach, his being about three inches longer than the challenger's He has also about four inches the better of him in chest measurements. Frush is about an inch taller, and is quite a little stockier about the legs.

Wage Reduction
Schedule July 1st
SKILLED AND COMMON LABOR
INCLUDED IN THE READJUST-
MENT DOWNWARD. - EX-
TENT NOT DETERMINED.

The United States Railroad Labor
board Wednesday announced its inten-
ton. of revising downward the wages
of more than 100000 unskilled rail
workers effective July /. The amount
of the decrease will be made public
on June /.
At the same time the board an
nounced that it would hold hearings
on June 6, regarding proposals by the
roads to decrease the wages OF other
classes of employees and would also
make it's decision in these eases ef-
fective on the same date. A similar
decision in the case Of skilled workers
would mean cut in the pay of prac-
tically every railway worker in the
country July /, and would affect
approximately 100000 men.
Decision Was Unexpected.
The announcement which said that
prevailing conditions justify to some
extent, yet to be determined, read
justment downward of wages" was
entirely unexpected and came only a
few hours after the close of the hear
ings which have been in progress since
early in April. Neither the roads nor
the Representatives of the unions had
Expected any announcement for sew
eral weeks.
On July 20, 1920, the board rendered
decision, increasing the pay of all
classes of railway employees approxi-
mately 81 per cent, or about $780,
OO0,OOO year. Several months ago
several roads announced that they
could no longer operate under this
wage award and announced reduc-
tions, averaging about 20 per cent in
the pay Of unskilled employees.
Appealed to Board.
The workers appealed to the boaro
which decided that the roads coule
not make summary reductions, but
first must hold conferences with theil
men and then if no agreement coulc
be reached, could submit the case te
the board for decision
Practically every large road in the
Ecountry then held conferences with its
unskilled employees, regarding feduc.
tions and when the employees refused
to accept cuts, carried the case to the
board. About SO cases in all were
thus appealed and the board finally
decided to hear them as a unit insteae
of separately.

Restoration of Minnesota grain
grades is considered probable by state
officials as a result of the refusal OF
Fl. G. Wallace, secretary of agrlcul-
ture. to grant the request Of northwest
farmers for modification of federal
grades. Secretary Wallace, in spite
Of urgent appeals by the Minnesota
legislature and delegations from MIN
nesota and the Dakotas, refused to
change federal grades except by elm
mating the word ssbright" in wheat re-
s1uirements. Officials Of the Mime
sofa Farm Bureau federation charact-
erie the action of the department OF
agriculture as victory for theorists
over practical farmers who have suf-
fered under actual operation OF federal
grades" Under a joint resolution OF
fhe legislature, the state board OF
grain appeals probably will restore
substantially the old Minnesota grades
on wheat moving in intrastate trafhc,
IS the opinion Of O. p. B. Jacobson,
member Of the state railroad and
warehouse commission, who attended
the Washington hearings. Secretary
Wallace promised an intensive invest
igation Of the situation during the
next marketing season. Farmers are
hopeful that this inquiry will result
in the desired changes.

Burns to Ground
BUILDING, STOCK AND HOUSE
HOLD GOODS ENTIRELY DE-
sTROYED TUESDAY MORNING.

The store formerly operated by j.
M. Archer and Son at Delhi was total
ly destroyed by fire early Tuesday
morning, the fire having presumably
been started from defective wiring.
The Redwood Falls fire department
was called there shortly after four o.
clock but was unable to give any eff
fectual assistance.
The building was still owned by Mr..
Archer and his loss is partially cover
ed by insurance. The stock of gen.
eral merchandise now owned by Man.
gan and Grassinger was also insured
and will not be total loss. But the
household goods of Albert Borg, who
occupied the living apartment in the
second story were totally uninsured
and were a complete loss. Many of
Mr.. Borg's articles Of furniture were
new, including a new piano, and his
loss is considerable. The loss to the
three persons concerned has not yet
been estimated.

Class p IS
Well Given
SCRAP OF PAPER PRESENTED
TO LARGE AUDIENCE LAST
FRIDAY EVENING.

A large audience witnessed the
Senior Class Play, A Scrap Of Paper
which was given by cast of class
members at the armory last Friday
evening The cast had been coached
by Miss Halvorson of the high school
faculty and showed the excellence of
it's training both in work as individuals
and in the presentation of the comedy
as unit. That there were no weak
nesses in the cast and that the play
moved with a smoothness rare !. in
amateur presentations is due to the
careful and intelligent directing the
cast received.
The play itself is an amusing little
three-act comedy, full of amusing in
tricacies and perplexing situations all
Of which are worked out to the final
satisfaction of every one. The
"heavy" was exceptionally well done
,, by Erwin Seifert, whose interpreta-
tion was forceful, careful avoiding any
semblance of overacting and with 8
characteristic quietness well suited to
the role. The part of the lead was
well assisted by Gladys Keefe and
Meci Reid, who played opposite him
Both Of these young ladies played with
naturalness and ease which was very
pleasing.
Other heavy parts were taken by
Mervin Mason and his ward, Harold
Pryor, who worked splendidly togeth-
er, and Miss Floy Harris, who was
very charming as vivacious French
girl. The shorter and somewhat
lighter parts taken by Alvin Ander-
son, Anna Fobes, Thomas Macholda,
Mable Root and Irene Breckenridge
were exceedingly well done, each in
dividual showing an understanding
and finish which made their smaller
parts very important parts of the
whole presentation.
The staging was very interesting
as well as beautiful, the garden set
ting in the last act being especially
worthy of merit. The young men of
the cast designed and made the at
tractive trellises and other necessary
stage fittings and the local furniture
houses were liberal in their loan of
beautiful furniture The whole was a
distinct credit to the cleverness and
activity of Miss Halverson and her CO.
workers.

Peace Program
TO Continue
DIRECTORS OF RED CROSS VOTE
TO CONTINUE WORK START
ED LAST JULY.

AT the meeting Of the directors of
the Redwood County Chapter OF the
American Red Cross, it was voted to
continue the Peace Program which
was actively started in July, 1920 and
which has been so ably carried for
ward throughout the past year by the
Executive Secretary, Glenn Lukens.
This decision was made without hesl-
tiation by the Directors following the
reading Of Mr.. Lukens report of the
wears work and the expressed neces-
.sity of the work being carried on.
Wna, Duncan, Jr., chairman OF the
Executive Colamittee ofthe Board OF
Directors, presided at the meeting
which was attended by the following
directors: A. w. Olson of Walnut
Grove, H. A. Baldwin, director at
large, Rev. Aitcheson, chairman OF the
Public Nursing Board, G. L. Maurstad
eof Delhi, Commissioner, John Welter
Of Morgan and Mrs. B. M. Wilson OF
Redwood Falls. Mrs. C. G.. Little,
formerly the chairman OF the Red
wood County Chapter and Mrs. VIM;
Duncan, the chairman of the Redwood
County Child Welfare Board, also at
tended the meeting.
The report Of Mr.. Lukens was SO
full of information which will be OF
interest to all residents of the county
that the Board voted to have it pub
lished and it will be printed in the next
issue Of the Gazette. The work cover
ed included the civilian relief, the
work with the ex-service men, the
child welfare work, the public nursing
work. the boys and girls club work
which has been undertaken at the In
2stigation of the Farm Bureau and
many other phases of related work
While much of this work has been
pioneer work the results gained even
in the single year which has been de-
voted TO it, show that the field consists
of the entire county and the need for
a continuance of the work is IN
creasingly great.
r. was with the keenest regret tnat
the Board Of Directors learned the
Mr.. Lukens had made other plans fo1
4he fut,1re and would not accept the
secretaryship for another year. Mr VA
Jukens' work has been of a breadth

nature of the most severe cases OF

other related subjects, it has been I'M
possible to give publicity to these
cases and much of the work accom-
plished will only be known by IN
direct and future means. However
those who have been associated WIFI

Coal Prices Must =.
Come Down.
N. Y. Herald.

Coal producers who are berating the
public for not loading up now with
coal for next winter at war imitation
prices might as we'll save their breath.
At time when steel plants, textile
mills, railroads, express companies
and other industries are readjusting
war initiation costs and lowering war
initiation prices the coal trade cannot
expect to stay up in the war imitation
clouds and get away with it.
What the coal business needs to do
to sell it's coal is to offer its product
to the public at right price, like any
other manufacturer or dealer. If it
does not do that the coal trade is not
going to sell it's coal. It is Of no use
to tell the public that unless it buys
it's coal now at the excessive prices de-
manded for it the public next winter
will freeze to death at still higher
prices. The public is not going to buy
the coal at these excessive prices and
the public is not going to freeze to
death.
The time has come for plain speak
ing to the coal producers who think
they can sit tight on war imitation
wages, war initiation production costs
and war imitation prices to the public
when everything must be readjusted.
Either they must act to bring about
the economic readjustment which is
imperative in their business-eithe
they must thus provide the cheaper
coal, or federal, state and local gov
ernments, backed by all the power
that is in the. American people, will
get on that job for them.
