NOTED CARTOONLST TO
LECTURE HERE TONIGHT
First Number of Lyceum Course
Staged BY Study Club
Promises Much

Alton Packard, accredited with be-
ing master cartoonist, humorist and
lecturer, appears at the Methodist
church this evening at 8 o'clock under
the auspices of the Woman's Study
club, as the first of series of Red
path Vawter Lyceum numbers to be
staged by this club for the benefit OF
the State Teachers College fund.
Mr.. Packard is described as being
more xhan a mere funny man. 1t has
seen said of him, that, while he makes
people laugh, he also makes them
weep. His work has shown him to be
master Of his art, who knows how
to make his art the medium for his
message.
Although there is comedy galore
throughout his lecture, he takes occa-
sion to impress his audience with the
idea that he is missionary for the
cause Of right living and the propa-
ganda of the downfall of bolshevism,
and it's creed of making the dollar a
god to be worshipped.
When he gets tired of drawing car
toons, he sits down at the piano and,
playing his own accompaniment,
sings a number of songs of his own
composition. Those who contem-
plate hearing and seeing Mr.. Packard
this evening are assured a worth
while entertainment and are urged to

RAILROAD SHOP WORKERS
WIN SWEEPING VICTORY.
Board Disapproves Petition
That All Shop Workers Be
Paid on Piece-W ork Basis
(By United PresS)

Chicago, Oct. 14.-Railroad shop
workers today won sweeping VIC
tory before the United States Rail
road Labor Board. The board handed
down a decision refusing to approve
the petition OF the railroad executives
that all shop workers be placed on
piece-work basis instead Of an hourly
rate.
The Northwestern railroad acting
with other lines had asked for the
adjustment of the principle of pay
ing according to a stated time for
work in the shop. 1t had been one OF
the most bitterly contested questions
before the labor board.
The board held the men should be
I>paid on an hourly basis and should be
given cight-hour working days.
However, if carriers and employees
agree that work should be paid for on
piece-work basis it will not be a
violation of the board. The board up
held the railroads plan that shop
workers be forced to undergo physical
examination to determine whether or
not they are fit to do the work. This
has also been bitterly contested
point between the railroads and the
unions.

"Of the amount of $1,706 it has

GOING GET THING ROUGH
FOR BIG GRID TEAMS
Big Football Elevens Begin to
Hit the First Of the Hard
Going Tomorrow
By Henry l.. Farrell

New York, Oct. 14.--Getting away
from the paved pixies Of the early
season, the big football elevens be
gin to hit the first of the hard going
tomorrow.
Four interesting interScctional
games feature the card in the Fast
while the West will watch with cquoI
attention the first real conflicts of the
"Big Ten"
From an intersectonal standpoint
the battle between Harvard and
Georgia, one of the ranking clcVrns
of the Southern Conference, is the
feature game of the day.
The South will also step into the
eastern stage when Tennessee meets
Dartmouth at Hanover.
Colors of the Middle West will be
carried against the East also at Pitts,
burgh, where Glen Warmers famed
Partners will play the University OF
Cincinnati and at West Point, where
the Cadets will oppose Wabash.
The biggest and perhaps the hard
est fought battle of. the day will be
between Princeton at the Naval
Academy and Annapolis. All the bit
terness worked up in last years bat
tie when "dirty football was charged
and ccuntercharged by both elevens,
has been carried over. The midship-
men would take the same delight
in trimming the Tigers that they DO
in beating the Army.
Yale has comparatively easy
game with Williams, and Penn IS ex-
pect,ng no great trouble with Swarth
more. Penn State has a man-slzcd
job with Lehigh, and the Syracuse,
Brown game should be anything but
a pink-tea engagement.
Ohio State and Minnesota have
the banner attraction in the Western
Conference. Northwestern and Wis,
consin, and Iowa and Illinois will fur,
|nish the other banner conference
games. Notre Dame will mlngle
ing Purdue.

No important games are carded IN
the South. Centre has soft opponent
in St. Xavier's of Cincinnati, and
Georgia Tech has the same in Fur

blowers today by deciding to strike
october 80 unless negotiations on

Railroad executives who met here
TODAY defed tho most power la
bor union in the nation by proceeding
with their plans to slash wages i'll the
face of a strike. The decision TO strike
was reached by the railroad brother"
hood early today.
According to plans mapped out ny
the union heads, men on all lines VIII

roads comprising one group Will ne
called out first. Then il the manage

on wages and working conditions,

of the federated shop craft, who are
AFFILIATED with the railroad depart
ment of the American Fedefatlon OF
Ihbor, the shop men of which b. M.
Jewel is president, were the first to
vote overwhelmingly in favor OF the
strike.
All union men will work together
in the crisis, it has been decided by
their leaders. The strike vote was
taken in protest against the II per
cent cut in wages, which took effect
July /. Since then, however, several
men in high council of unionism.
stated they would not use their "pow-
erful club" unless another attempt
was made to cut wages.
Things moved rapidly to head fol
lowing the news that was given out
by the unemployment conference at
Washington that leaders in the admin
istration favor a reduction in wages
so that freight rates may be slashed
to stimulate business conditions.

Celebrate Arnistice

Plans for celebrating Armistice
Dav in Bemidji formed the most I'M
portant subject to be discussed at the
regular meeting Of the Ralph Oracle
most of the American Legion Ihurs-
day night at the rooms OF the Give
and Commerce association, although
the plans have not advanced materl-
ally since the meeting of the commit
tee chairmen held last Monday night.
The concensus of opinion was that
the program and it's various features
should be left to the discretion OF
the various committees in charge and
this policy will prevail, in order that
plans may be entirely completed as
quickly as possible.
Each committee chairman has al
ready mapped out his plans and with
in a few days the program will take
on definite shape. The parade prom
ises to be big feature, and a general
invitation is, extended to all local or
CARNATIONS to participate in it, either
Individually, or as body. D. j. Moore
is in charge of this feature and those
wishing to take any special part IN
it are asked to communicate with him
at once. The Naval Militia and the
National Guard units will be out in
uniform and as many ex-service men
as possible are asked to be in -uaifor,ss,ae,
Tor titis particular occasion. p =
Following the parade, the public is
invited to the new armory where ap-
propriate ceremonials will be held in
honor of the service dead. N. E. Civ
en-, who is in charge Of the ceremon-
ials for the day, announces that Bish-
op Bennett Of the Episcopal diocese
Of Duluth will undoubtedly be the
speaker of the day. These services
will continue until about o'clock,
and at that time another special fea-
ture is planned. This will be an
nounced later.
R. B. Lycan. who is in charge of
the boxing show to raise funds to
replenish the posts fund for disabled
and needy ex-service men, reports
chat he will within the next few days
be able to announce a boxing card
which will be equally as good as the
one staged here by the post last
spring. He contemplates securing
Gunner Joe Quinn of Minneapolis and
possibly Johnny Nichols as the head
line attraction for this feature. Tom
my Tibbetts will also add local inter-
est to the card, it is expected.
The carnival and dance which will
be staged at the new armory in the
evening is sure to be another big fea-
ture attraction. J. ]. Pearce and T.
C. Bailey have been busy for several
days arranging for this part of the
program. \
Ex-service men, especially, and the
public in general are invited from all
parts of this section of the state, and
plans are being made by the recep-
ton committee, of which Joe Record
is chairman, for an exceptionally
large attendance from out of town.
