The government roundup of al
legged draft slackers will be launch
ed in Wisconsin this week, it was
reported by federal officials.
The complete lists for Wisconsin
suspects in now being printed at
the Camp Grant printing Office, in
Illinois.
The list will contain nearly j 900
names it is said. While this mum
Der is seemingly large, it is not
over proportionate as regards popu.
lation in the state, according to
officials.
The list is being printed in sec
tions. 1t is the purpose of the war
department to publish a section
each day. But few names will
be given at time, in order that

ported that II had received figures
from but one concern, the Iron
wood & Bessemer Ry. and Light
company, regarding the cost of the
white way. and, while the figures
are but rough estimate, s. 900
was reported as the cost of the
project.
By adopting Ordinances Nos. II
and IS the council took further
steps TO bond the city to raise funds
to carry on city Improvements
Ordinance No. 27 authorizes the
issuance of municipal bonds in
the sum of $40. 500 to defray the
cost of street improvements. Ord
nance No. 28 authorizes bonds in
the sum of $40, 900 to defray the
cost of constructing and connect

The council refused to grant a
license to Michelino Toia to CON
duct a soft drink parlor in the
White Front saloon building which
was operated by Chas. McRanielle
up to the time that he engaged in
the pistol duel with Frank Demas-
see, in which the latter was killed,
since which time McRanielle has
been fugitive from justice. The
unsavory reputation gained by the
White Front probably prompted
the council to refuse to grant a Ii
cense for the place.

REPORT OF COMMITTEE
FAVORABLE FOR WHITE WAY
Business Men and Property Owners
Want White Way on Main Street.
Bonding OrdinancesAdopted.

Hurley will have a white way
on its main street in the near
future if the plans of the city
council materialize. AT the regular
meeting of the city fathers Tues
day evening the committee, Alder
men Lancer, Pollock and Bonino,
reported that the sentiment among
the business men and property
owners on Silver street was favor
able to the proposition. The matter
was brought up at the last meeting
OF the council and the committee
named was appointed to interview
the business men and property
owners and get their views in the
matter. At Tuesdays meeting the
committee reported that with but
few exceptions the sentiment was
in favor of white way, and the
committee was instructed to proceed
in the matter.
Since the announcement in the
local press that the council was
considering white way for the
cltys main street the city clerk
has been deluged with PROPOSE

many cities offering to install the

STEEL CORPORATION AN
N0UNCES CUT IN WAGES
Wages of Day Labor Will be Cut
Twenty Percent. Salaries Will
Also Be Cut, Says Gary.

Alter continuing on war basis
of wages long after other steel man
ufacturers made substantial reduc-
tlons the Steel corporation finally
comes out with the announcement
that it, too. will cut wages and sal
aries. The announcement does not
cause any surprise, however, for it
has long been expected that the
Steel corporation would retrench,
since 1t would be impossible to con-
tinue paying wages and salaries on
war basis in view of the present
condition of the steel business. 1t
is presumed that employees of the
various subsidiaries of the corpora
tion, including the mining conpan-
les on the Gogebic range, will be
included in the retreuchment order.
Concerning theaction of the Steel
corporation New York press dis
patch under date of May says as
follows:
A reduction of about 20 per cent
in wages for day labor, effective
May 10, and an equitable adjust
ment of other rates, including sala-
ries, at the plants of the United
States Steel corporation, was an
nounCed today by Ebert II. Gary,
chairman of the corporation board
of directors. 1t is estimated that
between $4,000 and $4,000 en-
ployes of the corporation will be
affected by the cut.
IL HOUR DAY RETAINED.
Mr.. Gary also stated that the
corp oration had been unable to find
a practicable basis for the entire
abandonment of the twelve hour
day, or turn, in the immediate flu
ture. He added that the twelve
hour shift already had been elimin-
ated in certain departments and that
efforts would be continued with the
expectation of entirely eliminating
this feature within the next year.
Mr.. Gary expressed the opinion
that he did not believe the corpora
tion could satisfy the employees with
any shorter limit.
During 1920 the average daily
wage of employees was Sc. 90 as
against S6.I2 in 1919, according to
corporation figures. Total salaries
and wages disbursed by the steel
corporation in 1920, with 10000
employees aggregated $751;, $50, ,925.
MRANs SI.4o A DAY CUT.
On the basis of the reduction an.
nounced today, corporation officials
estimated the average cut in wages
at approximately 81 40 per day per
man. Roughly, this will affect
reduction in the pay roll, calculated
on the present number of employees,
of not less than $50, 900, 900 an
nually.
Today's announcement followed
a two days conference here with
executive heads of the various sub

Robbers Are Busy.

Robbers entered the office of the
Val Blatz Brewing company Sun
day night or Monday morning and
attempted to crack open the safe,
They bungled the job, however,
and although they knocked the
combination off they failed to get
what they were after. The handles
of the safe door were also knocked
off. 1t is believed the thieves
were frightened away before COM
pleting the job or else the safe was
such hard proposition that they
gave up in disgust. A broken
door gave evidence of the means
of entrance and it is thought that
a cold chisel was used in the at
tempt to open the safe. Had they
been successful they would have
secured but little cash, according
to F. F. Thalner, local agent.
A robber gained entrance to the
Bessemer saloon Sunday night
through rear window. The pro-
prietor, Hector McGillis, reported
to the police that four gold pieces
had been taken from a punch
board. The following day the
police arrested one John Evans,
who said his home was in Superior
and that he had been in Hurley
two months. He was arraigned
in municipal court and pleaded
guilty to the Bessemer saloon Job
and Thursday was taken before
Judge Risjord at Ashland to be
sentenced on charge of larceny.
Saturday ight Joe Raineri's
meat market was entered by thiev-
es, believed to be boys, and 81 so
taken from the cash register. Mr..
Ralneri reports that a quantity of
canned goods was found missing
the following day. The thieves
also entered Mr.. Raineri's ware
house in the rear of the store. Mi.
Raineri also suffered the loss of an
automobile tire at the hands of
thieves. The tire was taken from
his car while it was parked near
St. Mary's church.
Wednesday night A. Rogo S
shoe repairing establishment in the
rear of the Marble Hall was visited
by thieves, entrance being gained
by breaking open the rear door. A
few cents in change in drawer
was the extent of their haul.
The authorities are of the opinion
that the petty thievery is the work
of boys, who, although not crimin-
ally inclined, refuse to consider
the seriousness of their depreda-
tions. The mere act of breaking
into house or business place at
night, whether or not anything of
value is taken, is punishable by
term of years in states prison.

Dainty New
UNDERWEAR
Makes a Strong Appeal

few short months ago the majority of
women did not feel that they were getting any
thing fine unless it was silk This Spring the
sentiment has changed. Silk still has a thrill all
its own, but the real demand is for cotton. New
er before has this fabric been used to produce
such tempting garments.
We are no longer restricted to musns. Bar
red dimities and the finest lawns make up Won
dertully well, but the loveliest of all is the new
lace voile. Plisse crepe is extensively used for
gowns and boomers. White Venetian, fabric
very much resembling Baronette Satin, is also
used in the new underwear. This comes in flesh
also.
The newest in silk underwear is shown in
black crepe de chine This is used especially in
corset covers and boomers. You will notice a
pleasing change in prices.

there is not man here who does not
rejoice in American solidarity and ma

The plea for coordination of sec

need for personal cooperation was
stressed in a talk he delivered at a

Without alluding directly to the in

Pittsburgh Banks Defy
Comptroller; Withhold
Officers. Salaries Data

Washington, Feb. 25. - The
Pittsburgh clearing house asso-
ciation was accused by Comp
troller of the Currency Williams
Friday of having forbidden its
member banks to furnish data

eral in New York City; a state
ment showing the aggregate
amount of salaries paid to the
executive officers of banks and
the number of such officers, and
the amount of salaries paid all
other employees of the bank and
