GIVES A REMEDY
FOR GRIEVANCE

Especial Nonns service.,


peclaring that there has existed
distinction between the working
-,an and the white-colIared class,
.--1~afIed for two long a time, Harry
stnsworth, president OF the VIII
s,aa,s & White company, speaking
- aIndustrialism" at the Univers-
~ c4ub of Moline last evening,
,ssnted out remedies for correct
~ the differences that have arisen
h - of this distinction
The employer, said Mr. Aims
rorth. can regain the loyalty Of
NE men by demonstrating his in
ssraxt in them. He made the state
-rsnt that he himself has always
sound employees reasonable and
sasv 10 deal with in business mat
..rs II the men are taken into his
yeonfdence in advance.
Mr. Ainsworth stated that the
r.dical group fostered class con-
sriousness while the conservative
element sought to efface. While
mn attempting to settle the dispute,
the speaker said that society was
divided into FIVE general groups, as
follows: The wealthy, the middle
I SASS including business and pro-
sazsionaI men, the laboring Nclass,
tha agricuIturists and the inyest-
ors He pointed out the compare
live ease with which one can pass
from one of these groups to an
other.
Taking up the discussion OF the
shirt of unrest, Mr.. Ainsworth dis
cpssed the following charges
AGAINST capital, the answers to
them and the cures for the sftua-
ton involved:
/. That the repetitive processes
Of modern industry are maddening.
2. That industry is autocratic.
z That there is no way Tor
workers to express themselves COL
cel57ely
4. That employers are reaction
airy and arbitrary.
Agitation, he said, has caused to
be magnified whatever parts of
these charges are true. But, he
said, most employers are willing
and eager to help their employees.
In addition to these points Mr..
Ainsworth spoke of protlt-sharing
and the open shop, expressing the
opinion on the latter subject that
unions would have to change their
attitude in order to get confidence
Of Employers THE probability is,''
said Mr.. Ainsworth in conclusion,
that unions will never entirely
cease to function, but there will be
q drastic change. Their present
point of view, disregarding public
opinion, will either be a passing
phase or justify the adage that
pride goeth before a fall"

change is soon made the crop will be
short in this section.

RAGLEY.

It is somewhat uncertain if Bagley
will have a high school this year or
not At a special election held last
month it was voted, 70 for to op-
posed, to make this a regular four
year high school. Letters were read
from the state superintendent advis-
ing this course, also Co. Supt. Young
was at the meeting to advocate it.
The papers in connection with the ell
ection were sent in to the state sup
erintendent, who came back with the
report that he feared he could not
grant permission for us to establish
high school here, giving as his rea-
son that he feared we would be fin
ancially unable to maintain a high
school such as his department would
require, and advising us to send our
children as they finish the course we
have here, to Prairie du Chen, where
he said they have building, equip
ment and faculty suitable for doing
the high school work. This may be
good advice from his viewpoint, but
there are many of the parents here
who do not like to send their child
rem away from home at the age they
graduate here. Besides, the expense
is more than many feel able to bear
$500 to $500 per school year. So If
the department persists in refusing
us permission to have high school
here, it will deprive many young peo-
pie both here and in the country OF
the benefit of a high school educa-
ton.

OBITUARY-L. D. CULVER.

With the passing of Liman Delos
! Culver, Grant county has lost one of
her most esteemed citizens; the COM
munity in which he resided, a good
Ineighbor; and the family, most de-
voted father and husband.
| He was a man of sterling character,
industrious, frugal and upright in his
/ business affairs.
Neighbor Culver was born at Hunt
ington, Ohio, April Z, 1910. He was
one of seven sons of Joshua Culver,
three of whom have preceded him.
At the age of two years with his
parents, he emigrated to Illinois
where they remained but a short
time, returning by steamboat to Ohio.
Again in 1916, they returned to Hi
nois, and thence by OK team to Platte
vile, Wisconsin, arriving June Is,
1916. The same fall the family re-
moved to what is known as the old
Culver homestead in Harrison, Wis
consin. At the outbreak of tht Civil
war, Mr.. Culver, at the first call of
President Lincoln for $4,000, entered
the service of his country and made
splendid record as soldier. He
served in Company F. 7th Wisconsin,
Iron Brigade"
He has always been a true patriot,
taking an active part in the public
affairs of the community, the state
and the nation.
Comrade Culver loved the COM
radeship of the boys of the G. A. r. of
which he was a member.
On July Is, 1864, Mr.. Culver was
married to Miss Honor A. Ivey, with
whom he spent happy and useful
life To them were born nine child
rem, three girls and six boys. In 1865
I they settled on the present home
stead in the town of Ellenboro. His
| best years were spent in improving
the then undeveloped land into what
| is now the fine farm and in which he
took great pride. Here he spent the
remainder of his life.
