Chicago. March Representative of 10 national packing plant unions today pledged their support to the Amalgamat- ed Order of Meatcutters and Butcher Workmen of North America in the event members of that organization strike.
 Leaders of these unions conferred with officers of the meat cutters organization today and while no official announce nsent was made at the end of the morn ing session unofficially it became known that there had been littlo opposition to the proposal of the meat cutters that the organizations take a strike vote.
 Indications were. however, that no or ganization would strike until after the conference Monday at Washington when representatives of labor and of the em- ployers are to confer with Secretary Davis.

THE new Law
does NOT APPLY
COUNCIL MISINF OR MED
ON NEW PROHIBITION LAW
Only Applys to Places Handling
Beverages Containing Per-
centage of Alcohol.

The City Council seems to be mis-
informed over the new state prohibi-
tion law and at a recent Meeting
passed a motion authorizing the Ii
censing of all places handling nom
intoxicating beverages, which of
course would include drug stores,
confectionery store and all soft
drink parlors.
The Times has been informed that
this was not the intention of tie
new law, that only those places
handling beverages which contained
small percentage of alcohol should
be licensed.
Under the opinion of the council
all places where Misunderstanding
beverages were sold would have to
be licensed, which naturally would
include places which sold drinks Of
any kind.
There are many beverages which
do not contain alcohol in any form
and to license places which handle
these would be adding an additional
burden to the proprietors.
The law meant to apply to former
saloons which were. considered bars
and were engaged in the business of
Misunderstanding bever-
ages containing less than one-haf
of one per cent Of alcohol, snd not to
places of business such as drug
stores handling ice cream, lemonade
and other refreshing drinks con-
tanning no alcohol.

A POPULAR PLACE

About three hundred. and fifty
people spent last Sunday at Memoir
ial Park, which has been designated
as free camping place for summer
tourists. There were thirty-four
automobiles, among which were
seven foreign cars at the Park dur
ing the day, indicating that the
place is becoming real popular.
There is no finer location for a
park to be found anywhere 1t lies
between the lake an dthe Omaha
tracks and is easily accessible. It
is covered with growth of pine
trees which furnish plenty of: shade.
There is an excellent bathing beach
and bath house, as well as fire places
where campers can do their cooking.
1t is becoming advertised far and
wide by those who have made use of
it.

NO new SCHOOL
BOARD NAMED
COUNCIL ADJOURNS FOR
ANOTHER WEEK
Appointment of New Body to
Run School Government Will
Be named at That Time.

The City Council met on Tuesday
evening of this week for the pur-
rose Of receiving the appointments
from the Mayor of the new school
board members, but an adjournment
was taken for another week in order
to give the Mayor more opportunity
to make selections and an adjourn
ed meeting will be held on Tuesday
evening of next week for this pur-
pose.
Several men, it is rumored, have
been asked to take the appointments,
among them being John Love from
the first ward, George Posey from
the 9Th ward, E. Bergman from the
End ward, j. R Mitchell from the
End, Nels Larson from the 4th, John
Gibson from the 1st, and one or two
others.
The former school board rendered
their resignation to the Council be-
cause the Council failed to provide
sufficient funds with which to run
even the graded school, and the re-
signations of all members were ac-
cepted by the Council. The city is
now without an acting school board.

DRY .BILL NOT SO BAD

While the so-called Blaine dry en-
forcement bill when introduced re-
presented a decided step backward
from the Mulberger law, as passed
with the Anti-Saloon League amend
ments it represents some advance.
The League amendments restored the
Mulberger prohibition of all manu-
facture Of liquor for beverage pur-
poses, and added the Matheson pro-
'hibition of liquor prescriptions to
minors Both of these prohibitions
were objected to by the Governor in
his veto message of the Matheson
bill. The wet members supported
the Governors position throughout,
and opposed the bill after the Lea
que mendments were added. A
passed, the appropriation is raised
from $15, 900 to 100000, and there
are some improvements in the
methods of procedure and prosecu-
ton over the Mulberger law, though

it's shortcomings and failures must
be borne by the Governor alone.
The Anti4Saloon League amend
ments saved an epidemic of child
drunkenness and immortality, and
raised dam against a food of
moonshine. When introduced the
Blaine bill did not prohibit pre-
scriptions to children nor the manu-
facture of any kind of liquor, no

THE CONTRACT.
NOT AWARDED
SANTTORIUM COMMITTEE
HOLD OFF
Decides to Wait Until Next
Year for Construction of an
Addition to Pureair Sanit0r-
ium.

At the meeting of the Board of
Directors of the ri-County Tuber-
culosis Sanitorium held at Ashland
last week bids were. opened for the
new addition proposed to be bssi!t to
the Sanitorium located at Salmo.
The bids, according to the direc-
tors, were not out of tine way con-
sidering conditions, but called for
more money than had been appro-
priated and the Board decided to
wait until next year to begin the
construction of the addition. This
was partly due to the scarcity Of
money at this time.
The addition to be erected next
year is to be three stories high and
will connect with the main building.
1t will give much needle additional
room for the Pureair institution.

Great LAKES
FLEET COMING
WILL BE ON CHEQUAME.
CON BAY JULY 10th
Arrangements Being Made for
The Reception of the Fleet
When it Arrives in Chequame-
gOn Bay Waters.

Chequamegon Bay will be little
livelier than usual on Tuesday July
10Th, when the Great Lakes Fleet
will spend the day there. The fleet
which is officially known as the
Fourth District Squadron consists
of seven boats which are used for
training purposes on the the Great
Lakes.
Chequamegon bay was not on the
original schedule of the fleet but
the feet which was going directly to
Duluth for a naval review was ask
ed through the Navy Department at
Washington to come into Chequame-
gon Bay on its trip to Duluth.
This request has been complied
with and it is expected to make it
something of an occasion by having
as many of the local craft as pos
sible go out into the bay and meet it.
The fleet itself consist of seven
boats, two Of which are of the Sub
chaser type. The boats will remain
in the harbor from 8 A. M. Tuesday
until 8 A. M. Wednesday morning,
when they will proceed to Duluth.
The feet will be open for inspection
during its stay in the harbor.
1t is thought that if enough mo-
tor boats and tugs flying American
flags will cooperate freely in the re-
ception to the fleet that very pretty
picture of naval activity can be
made, for a short time on Che
qIamegon Bay. 1t is not often that
seven government boats come into
the bay at one time, and it is felt
that there still be sufficient novelty
in the appearance of the fleet in
this bay to make it an occasion of
interest.
