B. M. Jewell, president of the rail
way department of the American Fed
Grafton Of Labor, who refused to ap-
pear at a federal inquiry into the
strike call, reiterated that the only ba-
sis for a settlement was for the roads
to agree not to put pto effect wage
decreases recently ordered for the
shopmen by the labor board.
Ben W. Hooper, chairman Of the la
Dor board, declared in formal state
ment that the power of the govern
ment, coupled with public sentiment,
will give every protection to every rail-
way employe who remains on the job
and to all new men who take the
places Of the strikers in the present
walkout.
Mr.. Hooper asserted that the strike
was called against the decisions
of federal tribunal over rulings laid
down after careful consideration of the
evidence on both sides. The men who
take the places Of the striking shop
men will render a public service he
declared, and should, therefore, be i'm.
mune from the characterization of
"scab" or strike breaker"
The walkOut began throughout the
country at 10 am, and in many places
took on the aspect of holiday, the
men singing and cheering as they
threw down their tools. AS reports
came into union headquarters here
leaders asserted that the ranks of the
strikers would number more than
three-quarters of the hundred thousand
membership before night. Later Mr.
Jewell said that reports from 36 of POI
class one roads showed a practically
100 per cent walkout. He added that
he hoped to be able to give more ac.
curate figures later.
The only display of force reported
during the day was at Beardstown,
ILL.,, where several hundred shopmen,
after failing to persuade four compan,
ions to join them in the walkout pick.

out. we sent them home,' the lead.
er was quoted as saying, ito avoid
trouble"
In Chicago, the hub Of the walkout,
where it is estimated 100000 men are
affected, no disturbances of any kind
were reported and all of the roads
claimed that both passengers and
freight were being handled without in.
terruptions of any kind.
Among the presidents of railways
entering Chicago the determination
was expressed to have no dealings
with the representatives of the strik,
ing unions. They we're unanimous in
declaring that the issue was not be.
tween the unions and the railways, but
between the unions and the United
States labor board,

The state automobile departments,

1t is very strange that several re-

Such a law will be of the greatest
practical benefit, and in the course OF
time, should reduce the prohibition
problem to fraction Of what it is

Tired of Carrying City Mail

Postmaster Smith of Waukon re-
ceived a letter last week from a Chi
cago mail carrier, who is evidently
tired of life in the big town. He
wrote to inquire if any of the car
riers, either city or rural, would like
to trade routes with him. The pro-
position interested one of our car
riers, who is weary of mud roads
and pines for the pavement and
bright lights, and it is possible the
Chicago man may be accommodated.
If the transfer is made we imagine
that both will feel like fish out Of
water for some time.-Waukon Al

Death of Mrs. Johanna Nesset

Mrs. Johanna Nesset passed away
at the home of her daughter ir
Frankville township on Nov. "a, the
cause of her death being old age
The deceased was born in Lerdahl
Norway, July 81, 1881, and at the
time of her death had reached the
ripe old age of 81 years. For the
last few years she had made her
home with her daughter, Mrs. t. A,
Nesset in Frankville township. The
last three years she had been con-
6ned to her bed.
The deceased is survived by four
daughters, Mrs. t. A. Nesset, OF
Frankville Twp, Mrs. H. A. Blegen,
Leads, N. D., Mrs. E. A. Grimso,
Decorah and Mrs. o. B. Hovde, of
Leads, N. ID. The husband and father
passed away in 1914. Two brothers,

dren.

Obituarx Perry Rima

Perry Christopher Rima, whose
death was mentioned in these coll
umns last week, was born in Howard
county, Iowa, Nov. 25, 1860, son
of w. p. and Lois Rima, early
pioneers of the state. They moved
TO Decorah when Perry was a boy
of Ia years. Since that time De-
corah had been his home. For many
years the deceased was connected
with butcher shops in Decorah, and
was an expert at his trade. Owing
to i'll health he retired from the
business, and for a number of years
past had been a semi-invalid. He
was a man who lived an honorable
and upright life, and a more honest
and straightforward citizen would
be hard to find. If Perry Rima owed
a man a dollar it was as certain to
be paid as it is that the sun rises
in the east and sets in the west.
The deceased was married twice,
his first wife passing away only a
short time after their marriage. The
second wife passed away in 1913. He
is survived by three brothers ana
two sisters, all Of whom, with the
exception of one sister, Mrs. Addie
Newman, who resides in Wilbur,
Washington, being residents of this
city and present at the funeral. They
are Ira, Charles, William and Mrs.
Rose Bucknell. The deceased for
sometime past had made his home
with his brother Charles at 600 Oak
street. The funeral services were
held from the home Friday after
noon at two o'clock. The services
were conducted by Rev. Fred P.
Fisher, of the Methodist church, and
interment was in Phelps cemetery.

colored numbers on a black back
ground, Each county will have the
same county numbers as in 1922 ex-
cept Black Hawk, Adair, Adams,
Allamakee, Appanoose, Audubon and
Benton.
Benton.
This change comes about because
Black Hawk this year has registered
more than 1000 cars. The county
numbering scheme is alphabetically
except in counties where there are
more than 10000 cars registered.
These counties start off with Polk,
which has the most cars, as /, Wood
bury 2, Scott 8, Linn 4, and Potta-
wattamie 5. Black Hawk moves up
this year from twelfth place to sixth
place. This takes in all the counties
with more than 10000 cars.
After sixth place, therefore the
county number is fixed alphabetically
with Adair cou.sy Z, Adams 8, ALA
makee 9, Appanoose 10, Audubon IL,
Benton IL, and from there on the
numbers are same as last year. That
is, Black Hawk, which was in twelfth
place heretofore, has gone into the
over 10000 class and moves the
other counties down until Boone,
number 13, is reached.
There are a lot of figures to get on
one plate after 10000 is reached, so
the plan has been adopted to make
the county number, one figure in the
larger counties.
