WANTS. BRIDGE CLUBS

DR.. P. B. Carwile was in the city
yesterday. He is much interested in
the setback and bridge parties which
are given here from time to time.
He says that he thinks some of the
bridge players from town should 60
out into the country and organize
bridge clubs among the ladies of the
county. The people in the country
need some amusement as we'll as the
people in the town. They want to
talk about something he says besides
the cotton blues and the blue cotton.

er association held Tuesday after
noon at the Graded School was one
of the largest meetings in point OF
attendance held this year. Two
handsome pictures have been Offer
ed as prizes to the grades having
the largest number of mothers in at

the spirit of the contest and turned
out to encourage the children.
Rev. Mr.. Peele opened the meet
ing with prayer and the program
consisted of reading "The Right
Kind of Parent-Teacher Associa-
'tion," by Mrs. Henry Gillian. This

instructive. Mr.. A. B. Morse was

the school and Mrs. Allen Smith,
Mrs. W. B. Perrin, Mrs. White, Mrs.
Owen, Mrs. Poliakoff and others
Joined in and made remarks on

Miss Francis Gillian pleased the
audience with a recitation and this
was followed by the most attractive
feature of the program. This was a
CHERRY pie" served in honor of the
Father of his country" AS each
cherry was pulled out, it was found
to contain an original verse telling
of the charms and good qualities OF
the teachers and of some of the
ladies who have shown an interest
in the school. These verses were writ
ten by Mrs. A. B. Morse and read by
Miss Coan, and were bright and wit
ty, affording the large crowd pres
ent great pleasure.
A new clock was ordered bought
for the Graded School, after which
came the roll call of mothers by
grades, in the contest for the pic
lures which have been donated by

Miss Coan's grade was second with
33 1-3 per cent present.
In the high school building Mis-!
Riley's grade had the highest pei
cent of mothers present, 32.4, bu'
on account of a previous ruling tt

eighth grade which was second will

C0NGRESSWOMAN TALKS
ON BABES AND CHICKS

Miss Alice Robertson of Oklahoma,
the lone woman in congress, made a
speech against the Sheppard-Towner
maternity bill. She attacked the ad-
vocates of the bill and particularly
those whom she classified as "sob
sisters" declaring the statement that
6S0 babies die every day is absurd be-
cause no statistics are available upon
which to base such evidence. It de-
veloped during the debate that while
the national government and the sew
eral states have created ADEQUATE ma
chinery to record the number of pigs,
chickens and eggs which come into
the world each year, there is no ade-
quate method in vogue to tell the
number of babies born or the number
that die. :

Union Labor to Withhold Pat
ronage From Boxing Shows
at Which He Appears.

Mike" Gibbons. the st. Paul boxer,
has been placed on the I'VE Don't Pat
ronize List" of organized labor on ac-
count of his unfair attitude towards
the buildingi trades of st. Paul. A
flat building owned by Gibbons was
erected by non-union labor. He OPEN
ly defied union labor and said he stood
for the so-called "open shop"
In circular letter sent out by the
Twin. City Building Trades council and
mailed to labor organizations through
the country it is stated that Mike"
Gibbons is now appearing in boxing
exhibitions in various cities reaping
a harvest from which lage portion
is contributed by organized labor and
it's friends.
I'VE suggest" says the letter, that
if there is boxing club in your city;
that committee be sent to the Of
ficers and that you request that they
refuse to book Mike" Gibbons until
such time as he makes himself right
with the labor movement of St. Paul
and Minneapolis.
This will have it's double effect:
it will prevent Gibbons from demand
ing large guarantee for his fights as
he is now in the habit Of doing. and
it will be the means of showing him
the necessity of dealing fairly with the
people who have made it possible for
him to become wealthy. No wise box
ing promoter will take any chances on
a big guarantee to Gibbons when he
is informed that labor will withhold
its supports from the show"
The letter is signed by Nels Nelson,
president and Frank Fisher, Secre-
The Twin City Building Trades council.

Men Who Gave Up and Returned
to Work Suffer Wage Reduc-
tions and Dissemination.

For fourteen weeks the local Book
binders union, consisting of about
nine journeymen and II girls stood
| with the other trades unions of the
printing industry for the establish
ment Of the: 44-hour week and the
maintenance Of the union shop.
Funds Of the organization having
given out and the compositors being
able only to care for their own mem-
bers: on strike, the bookbinders unio9
called the strike off. ..
" What the men who are members
of this union experienced when they
tried to get their jobs back should
stand as an everlasting warming to
other union men who may be on strike
or who may be required or forced to
go on strike later.
The first member to get his old job
back was cut from the scale of $3.50
to $500 per week and promised
| more cuts if he ever "monkeyed" with
the union again. =
The second and last member of the
| union to secure a job in Duluth was
| cross ss-examined as to his sentiments in
regard to unionism after his strike ex-
perience and only saved his job by
equivocation.
The other seven did not get jobs.
One has left town for parts un-
known, he was refused job at the
Duluth Ruling and Binding Co., trade
bindery, because he was active on the
picket line; the reason being given by
his old boss that the printing offices
of the city would not patronize the
firm if this man was hired.
| Another one was simply told that
there was nothing doing-his job was
filled and he would have to look else
| where.
Another was told that he could have
release if he wanted it. knowing a
little about the "Typot" scheme to
blacklist all participants in the strike
through the 'release" and recommen-
| dation" scheme, he took the "re-
| lease" >."'
Another was plainly told that he
| was not wanted any more under any
circumstances as he was too much OF
| a ''bOlsheVik." He is an ex-service
man who performed military duty in
France. ",
Another one was told that he must
tear up his union card and forever re-
main aloof from any organization that
had for its object the unionization of
workingmen.
But, in one member the bosses met
spirit that they will never conquer
he could have a job under certain
conditions-but these conditions were
so abhorrent to his sense and spirit
Of unionism that they were refused
with scorn and; Contempt
So far the persecution has not ex-
tended to the girls who were mem-
bers Of the union.
The members of the union who are
being punished by the employers for
their activity in the strike are seeking
such employment as they can find ana
some are at work.
The treatment accorded them is am
pie evidence of the intent of the peo-
pie who are backing the printing
trade employers-not< the open shop,
but the non-union shop; the destruc-
tion of the labor unions and the es-
tablishment Of an industrial autocracy
that will dictate terms and conditions
and to which the workmen must &C.
cede or shut up.
