To ASK FOR
OTHER BIDS

At a meeting of the County State
road and bridge committee Thursday
it was decided to readvertise the two
northern sections of the Marshfield-
Pittsville road and the north part of
the Wisconsin Rapids Sherry-Mil
dore road. Bids will be opened at 10
a. IN. Friday, April Il.
Sections ga" and B" of the Marsh
| field-Pittsville road will be incorpor-
ated into one section and bids will be
received for the entire job, 11.3 miles
| in all. This includes the road from
the end of the concrete on the south
of the city of Marshfeld to the Rich
| field Wood town line, and 1.S miles on
the Marshfeld-Neil road west of
Klondike Corners. The original bids
received on this road, received March
80, were all thrown out because of
irregularities.
Bids on the north part of the Wis
iconsin Rapids Sherry -Milladore road,
which is also to be re-advertised, were
originally received March 80, also, and
the job was awarded to the lowest
bidder, the Kroenig Construction Co.,
of Milwaukee. Further investigation,
however, revealed the fact that cheap
er sources of material were available
than was first thought, and the bid
was refused on the grounds of the
price being unreasonable. This sec
ton of the road commences at the
on county trunk line "H" and extends
about two and a half miles.

THE MARRIAGE SETTLEMENT

A married wit who displays his

to say: with all my worldly goods

"For instance, when | married had

table. "But nobody, my dear, could
say that / endowed you with those"

Chairman Offers Figures on
Earnings of Unskilled.

Argument that striking coal miners
must consent to the same wage reduce
tons that have been made in other In
dustres was driven home yesterday in
the coal conference at the Union League
Club by Samuel d. Warmer, chairman
of the operators committee, who pre-
sented statistics IN the average earnings
of miners in the last year.
A survey of the payrolIs for $4,000
workmen showed that the average earn
ings of ordinary laborers in the anthra-
cite fields was l.S03,55. excluding boss
foremen, clerks or contract workers. The
average number of days which these
men worked was 1854, and their daily
earnings $3.50.
Mr.. Warmer pointed out that so per
cent. of the labor in mine fields was
unskilled and that the wages for this
grade OF work stood high in comparison
with other industries. The average earn
ings OF contract labor" which include
unskilled workers, was $217o.40. The
minimum earnings for the ordinary mine
laborer was $1,439.

HARMONY CHIEF OBJECT
Statesmen Seeking to Recon-
Gle Nationalism and In s.
ternationalism.

GENOA, April 27 ASSOCIATED Press).
Immense interest is concentrated in
the probable text of Mr.. Lloyd Georges
non-aggression pact, several drafts OF
which have been drawn. 1t is learned
that one of the drafts contains the
proposition that the members of the
Little Entente shall mutually agree to
organize a kind of flying army corps,
which will act as international police
man to protect the frontiers and pun
ish violations of the non-aggression
agreement
As the conference assumes broader
aspects certain indications come to the
surface that two distinct political
waves, which, being contradictory, are
difficult to reconcile. are surely spread
ing Throughout Europe. One is inter-
nationalism, which the thinkers of al
most all countries are preaching: the
other is nationalism.
1t is admitted that any project en-
bodying the principles of International
ism could hardly be realized without
the effective concurrence of France.
France would naturally want to be
In the forefront OF any great forward
movement for Europe said an eminent
Frenchman to-day "but we mustsbuild
slowly and first of all dispose of the
concrete problems confronting Europe.
Unhappily, the Treaty Of Versailles in
adopting the principle of self-determi-
nation for the races served to decen-
tralize Europe, instead CT centralizing
il. If France could keep unaffected
and unchanged those great things which
are dear to France as a great family
unity, then France would fight to be in
the vanguard for internationalism."
While few statesmen dare TO speak
openly Of the possibility of attaining
some form of federation of the European
States it is learned that many OF them
secretly possess ambitions to bring ABOUT
harmony between nationalism and In
ternationalism, and the basis of this
new European construction would be the
principles of equity, justice and the fell
lowship OF man.
Many conference circles remarked to-
day on the coincidence that two leaders
so widely apart as Lloyd George and the
Rev. Don Luigi Sturzo. leader of the
Italian Catholic party. should be ex-
horting Europe that II must move along
the lines of internationalism based on
equity and self-restraint. as well as JUS
tice and charity. 1t Is understood that
Mr.. Lloyd George has a profound ambi-
ton to make his non-aggression pact the
precursor OF a broad movement to bring
all the peoples of Europe, including
Russia and Germany, closer together.
perhaps as the first step toward some
form OF European federation.
