The Suffers huddled close to
their fire and listened to the

Statement Of Miners.
The statement which the miners
will present TO the operators with
their dema nds reads. in part:
I'VE have unimpeachable evidence
that the bulk of anthracite coal used

Al least IS ton II we could secure
your support in measures for lower.
ing freight rates to just and rea.
sonahle level and preventing inde.
fensible monopoly profits and
charges in the distribution Of the
anthracite coal supply.
These profits. as we have repeat
edly pointed out to you. are in a
large part concealed from public
view: from the ownership of the
anthracite coal carrying railroads,
which. To obtain large and con.
cealed profits for the anthracite
monopoly and TO prevent compe.
tition from independent producers,
have imposed grossly excessive
freight rates on anthracite coal and
have separately organized coal
sales companies, through which an
added heavy tribute is placed upon
the distribution of coal.
1--WE have submitted evidence
showing that the reduction Of
highly inflated profits to fair and
reasonable level would permit. with.
out any decline in wages or labor
costs, reduction OF al least So q
ION in the cost of anthracite to the
consumers.
Figures On Labor Costs.
The miners statement contends
that the labor cost in producing Il
ION of anthracite is Only So. so, or
about - ner cent Of the retail prices.
Therefore. they contend, that re-
duCtion Of 21 per cent in wage rate
could not mean reduct on Of over

KERRICK WINS

Askov went down to defeat at
the hands of Kerrick on the local
diamond Sunday by 4 score Of
8 to IL. The locals had the visi-
tors beat up to the ninth inning
but in that stanza Askov went
all to pieces. making errors upon
errors resulting in 5 runs for
Kerrick. Askov came back with
only run in their half Of the
ninth and the score ended 9 to
IL.
Carl Jensen had an off day in
fielding on short and third MAX
ing most Of the errors on the lo-
cal side but did well in batting,
securing three safe hits. Har-
old Sorensen was prevented
from playing third base on &C.
count Of being struck by =
pitched ball on the elbow before
the game. Anker Simonsen on
short made q spectacular play
when he ran behind third and
got 4 roller which went through
Carl Jensen, and whipped il to
first putting out the runner and
saving the third baseman from
an error. Simonsen is ! very
good man on second, short or
third and nearly always plays 4
good game. He has often figur-
ed in double plays and has shown
skill and speed which gives
thrill to q base ball fan.

The dinner was enjoyed by all
and a spirit of cooperation. and
good fellowship prevailed. The
peace pipes were then lit by the
men folks while the ladies and
children were enjoying ice cream
and soft drinks. Some games
were played, and about 2 o'clock
the meeting was called to order
by the secretary of the Cream.
cry Association who introduced
James Sorensen, president of the
Buttermakers Association, from
St. Paul. Mr.. Sorensen gave q
short lecture, complimenting the
Denham farmers on their effici
ency, and for the splendid cream.
cry they had built as well as foI
the start they already had made
in the few days the creamery
had been in existence. He ad.
vised them to remember that all
of the people living in the com.
munity, whether from town or
from country, were aboard the
ship, and that it could not 60
down without hurting everybody
alike. If someone among them
thought that the creamery could
be wrecked without hurting him,
he was mistaken. To prove the
point he told the old story about
the Jew who was aboard a ship
out on the Atlantic ocean. and
who one night was told by a
friend that the ship had sprung
leak and was sinking. Instead
of hurrying up on deck to help
keep the ship above water. he
answered: Let her sink, she
doesn't belong to me, what do
care" Shortly afterwards he of.
fered his $1,000 gold watch to a
fellow passenger in order to save
the money.
Then L. C. Pedersen was called
upon, and he gave a short talk
on cooperation, telling about his
experiences in the cooperative
creamery business the past &c
years. He also touched on the
political issues of the day, he be.
ing a candidate for reelection to
the State House of Representa-
tives. Finally Mr.. Pedersen said
that this venture into co-opera-
ton by the Denham people
should, if entered into in the
right spirit. lead to cooperation
in other lines, material as well
as spiritual, and that he hoped
the results might be a further
ance Of the community spirit in
such a way that all would receive
larger share of good will and
happiness and brotherly love,
