town Of Crooks is to have local
newspaper OF its own. Arrange
ments for starting it were completed

cided that the town needed some
method Of advertising its business

the trade territory posted, and the
organization of weekly newspaper
enterprise was the result

Taxes 1reb|ed
In So. Dakota
Past 5 Years

PIERRE. April 5.--General taxes
extended in South Dakota for state.
county. school district, township
and city and town purposes, have
nearly trebled in volume since 1915
according to tables recently COM
piled by the state tax commission
covering those years.
The total extended tax in 1915
amounted to $12,987,3O7.9s while
last year the total reached $35, 4O0,-
776.51 or an increase of $22,413,-
46S.53.
The greatest jun p during this
period is shown in the comparison
between the 1919 figures which to-
tailed more than twenty-seven and q
half million and the 1920 figures
which were nearly thirty-five and
one-half million. In 1915, school
districts received 35 per cent of the
total extended tax or $4,651,25S.6S
while in 1920, altho the percentage
had risen only two points to 81 per
cent. $13,136.S86.74 was turned
over for that purpose.

FATHER AND SONS HAVE MAR.
ROW ESCAPE WHEN THE
LIGHTNING CAUSES
HORSES TO BOLT

MEMO, April 6.-Raymond Best
and his two sons, living on a farm
near here, had an exciting five min
utes as the result of a bolt Of light
ming striking among their horses
while they were engaged in discing.
driving four horses each. Tho
horses ran away and one of them
was dragged to death by the others.
The three discs were demolished
and the harness torn almost to
shreds.
The two sons fortunately were
thrown clear of the discs when the
bolt struck near them, and thus es-
capped serious injury and perhaps
death.
The father also was huled from
the seat OF his disc by the force of
the lightning bolt, but managed to
hold his horses for a time, or until
his disc was crashed into by other
runaway horses from behind, when
his own animals started on wild
run across the field.
One of the IL horses had hind
leg cut by disc during the wild
flight. One Of the runaway teams Of
four horses followed a wire fence
for so rods, pulling up posts and
wire and badly cutting up the horse
next to the fence.
The father and sons regard 1t -
little less than miracle that they
were not badly hurt or killed in the
mixup.

By Mary Heaton worse.


Have you ever tried to raise money
in the unions in hard times? Was
everybody broke? Did you feel as
though you were trying to squeeze
a drink from an empty bottle?
Worse still, did you feel as if you
we're trying to take away money
from people who needed it desper-
ately, aud that when you asked for
moaey you we're asking people to
give up the little margin. of COM
fert which yet remained to them
yeu were asking them to deprive
themselves OF what they needed?
That's what raising money in the
uuions has meant this year.
Yet the Baltimore women OF the
Amaieamated just raised one thous-
aad dollars in a bazaar. Since last
NAV Baltimore has shared the hard
times. Part Of the time there was
a lockout-two Of the big shops
veat out of business and that threw
ff,ean hundred OF Baltimore's eight
fhonsand workers out OF work. A
strike affected another fifteen hum
drel. About seven hundred people
ar. still out. although the industry
ana other Jobs have absorbed the
remainder of the strikers.
THIS prolonged slack season would
n. . terrible time. one would sup
poee. in which to make money.
Moreover the Amalgamated in Bal
tiu>re is peculiarly isolated. There
has been a long and bitter fight be-
tween the remnant OF the United
Garment Workers on the one hand
and the L. w w. who had formerly
had a fair-sized block in the in
dustry and who disputed it with the
Anaieamated, on the other. So the
Amalgamated was attacked on both
sides in Baltimore by the conserva-
tives on the one hand and the radi-
calls on the other 1t seemed little
short of a miracle that they should
make this sum. That had been their
ambitious plan and had the good
luck to be in Baltimore to see how it
was done.
As went up the stairs to the hall
could hear the good time hap
pening overhead-music and laugh
ing and the hum of voices, children's
laughter mingled with the rest, the
noise of feet dancing. All this COM
posite sound rushed out at me. In
side the room was so crowded
colld hardly get through. Benches
divided the room into two parts. A
fine Jazz orchestra played for dane
ing. aad al the young people danced
and some of the old ones. The
children were dancing. little girls:
the Amalgamated kids we're disput-
ing the floor with their older sisters.
In the middle was booth with all
sorts Of hand-work - beautiful
crochet work. sofa pillows. fancy
aprons and useful ones. bedroom
slippers. everything the heart could
deotre. Almost all the things were
made by the girls themselves OF
some Of the other women Of the in
dustry. One of the organizers of the
bazaar told me:
The Sisseton weekly standard. (Sisseton, Roberts County, S.D.) 1892-1929, 1921-04-22

know most about the fight. Now
when the light breaks and people
are going back to work, recall u
conservation with President Hillman
which occurred when things looked
black. heard some sympathizers
asking:
well, Mr.. Hillman, how are
things going?"
ooh, the Fund rolls in splendid
ly," he replied.
s'Oh, l don't mean that" said tho
outsider, 81 mean what's the morale
of the people, how are they stick
ing?"
ooh, that" said Mr.. Hillman. 81
never give that thought. 1 take it
for granted that they are going to
stick. 1t has never entered our
heads that the membership would
falter."
1t never entered the membership ;
head. They had, as someone has
put it, "got unionism under their
skins, and there was ''No Surrend-
err" written in their hearts.

Amalgamated Women
In Baltimore

1.-The girls have been working
night and day. Some OF them would
bring their fancy work to the shop.
l know girls who have set up until
one O'Clock at night finishing then
embroideries. Toward the last I
had so many parcels given ME to car
ry that used to come up the hall
loaded down like camel"
There were fortune tellers at one
side OF the room, and around the
other s;Io wers candy booths and
grocery boot..s and others with the
usual cake and icc cream People
went through peddi:ng chances on
every imaginable thing. bought
chances on chocolate cakes, boxes OF
ice cream, aprons and embroidered
night gowns, statuary, silverware,
baskets OF fruit, bedroom slippers.
sofa pillows. l bought. chances on
enough things to have started 4
bride of Housekeeping. and / won
nothing. l never do win things at
lotteries since the day when, as a
child, l won live calf at church
fair. Since then the God of Chance
has not smiled on me-my mother
refused to let me bring it home.
He did smile upon other people
there; every little while ripple of
excitement would run through the
crowd and the victor would get his
pail of ice cream or his handsome
embroidered cushion, or one OF the
organizers would come beaming a.
long with a big box of fruit.
Every little while gloomy muir
muir would go through the people
on whom the responsibility of the
bazaar rested. ''Nobody's buying"
they would say. THE young people
only want to dance. We're COINS
to have half our things left on our
hands" The crepe hangers would
say, I'VE won't make half we PLAN
ned to-" Others would say consoi-
ingly, We'll, how could you expect
it? We've gone to our people again
and again and they have paid out
their ten percent. How could you
expect that they could spend money
at this time?"
But as looked around, it didn't
seem to me to make much difference
whether everything was sold or not.
The whole industry was here and ii
was here in the spirit of holiday,
young and old enjoying themselves,
from the babies to the older women.
There was that precious thing here
that you don't always find in the
real spirit of good time. The in
dustry was getting acquainted over
again. People from different shops
and girls and men from different
trades were getting to know each
other. And there were few people
from the outside-girls from the
International which is not very
strong in Baltimore. girls from the
stenographers. some rare A. T. Of
L. men, the forerunners of the time
when artificial barriers which are
now kept alive by the reactionary
leaders of the A. F.. Of L. will have
been all overcome.

ferent types. There were girls with
shining blue-black hair. beautiful
red-headed girls, pale blondes. 1t
looked more as though it were the
tryout for some great beauty show
rather than a bazaar of the Clothing

are any bachelors left in Baltimore.

last.
have been hearing about the
Baltimore Amalgamated women for
long time. Whenever I talked
about what fine lot OF girls the
4 Amalgamated had in Schuylkyll
County or some other place where |
had been, someone would rise up
and proclaim:
ooh, but you ought to know the
Baltimore girls
And now I understood what they
meant for these girls and women
have as much spirit as they hava
looks. They have proved it before
1t was the Baltimore girls who first
taxed themselves for the Milk Fund.
1t was the Baltimore girls who first
sat up to make layettes for the strike
babies. And how at the end of thi,
crushing winter their enthusiasm
and their hard work and their CO.
operation had brought of this sue
cessful bazaar. II am not mistaken,
this is the first time that all the
women of the industry have worked
together in an entertainment of such
size, all the Different trades CO.
operating as one. And there is
stirring talk among them that this
is only the beginning.
One of the girls told me about
the rise OF their ambitions. CAS- we
first talked of it," she said, 1--WE de-
cided to try and raise $500. At the
start that seemed big sum when
you considered how bad the winter
had been. Now we raised 1t to $500,
and finally someone said. Lets
make it thousand-let's aim
high" And the thousand mark was
passed and 1T will be nearer twelve
hundred when they get through.
This is the spirit that has leaped
over the million dollar resistance.
Light is breaking. Hope and spring
have come together. Nearly thirty
thousand people in New York are
back at work. New York pays in
fifty-five thousand to the Relief
Fund where few weeks ago New
York paid in but hundreds. have
never seen any other labor battle
like this. have never seen such
courage, such long patient resistance,
such self-sacrifice on the part of the
workers who were employed as we'll
as those who we're in the actual
| trenches of the fight.
1t has been single-handed fight
The Amalgamated went into it ex4
pecting to fight it alone, not look
ing for any help from the outside.
The help that has come from friends
was unexpected. The industry itself
carried on this historic victory.
When the history of American Labor
in the Twentieth Century is written,
the story will be told how the
Amalgamated by itself stemmed the
open-shop drive.
The victory isn't won yet, but no
one can imagine anything but victory!
