PRINTING TRADE
UNIONS HINT AT
RENEWED FIGHT

The printing trades unions are
issuing a statement today in the
form of advertisements, in which
they not only set forth their YER
sion of the strike issues, but init
mate that revelations will be made
by the unions before the strike goes
on many days.
They announce that the entire
case is TO be laid before the public,
and while union officials say that
they will not make any premature
they claim is the employers own
they claim is the employers own
publicity methods in forcing the
case before the public. The strike
has been on since May 1, and the
union leaders say that they have
made few rejoinders to claims OF the
employers on account of a belief
that only a few of the employers
were influencing the situation and
that others were not in sympathy
with the refusal to accept the A
hour week plan, which the unions
claim was agreed to by the national
organizations of both sides two
years ago and that the new working
time was to become effective May l,
1921. Now that the strike is in its
10th week the unions declare that
they are going to go the limit in
what they claim is to be the I'M
yelling to the public of unworthy
tactics of the employers.

Farmers Holding Out for High
Compensation Blocking
County System

Supervisors John H. Richards of
Silvis. D. B. Noah of Yuma, and
William II. Schillinger of Rock Is
land were appointed by the state aid
and road committee of the county
board yesterday afternoon members
of a special committee to acquire
titles to land, options, ETC., for the
right of way for the construction of
a paved road from Colona bridge to
Silvis. The members of the commit
tee are to work in conjunction with
Fred Young, representative of the
state highway commission.
Farmers who have property over
which, or alongside of which the
proposed road will pass, are in some
cases holding out for a price which
members of the committee state is
five, and in some instances 10 times
its actual value. They will be
given opportunity to grant the right
of way for a reasonable compensa-
ton, but if they persist in holding
out for what is regarded by the
committee as too exorbitant price,
condemnation proceedings will be
started.
AS a matter of fact. all prepara-
tions for legal process by condem-
nation have been made, and the
courts will be resorted to in case
other methods fail
A member of the committee said
today that he knew of no available
funds from which the expenses of
the committee could be met, and
limited that it might be necessary to
call special meeting of the board
of supervisors in order to make ar
engagements to meet a number of
other expenses recently incurred by
order of the beard.
He gave it as his opinion that in
all probability the board would have
to call special session before their
next regular meeting in order to
provide money to pay for all the
work which has been ordered.
