GOVERNOR BLAINE TO
SPEAK HERE THURSDAY
Press Dispatches Give Hurley as One
of the Governor Stopping Places
90 Speaking Tour

! Gov. J J. Blaine, who started
this week on a speaking tour of
Wisconsin III his campaign far re-
election, will speak in Hurley next
week Thursday, according 10 his
itinerary as announced in press
dispatches from Madison.
Opening his campaign speeches
in Barron county on Thursday the
governor than went to Polk county
and today is scheduled TO speak in
St. Crox county. Next week Gov
Blaine, who is travelling by auto
mobile, will work north, speaking
IN the various counties on the way
Next Thursday, June 20, he will
speak at Hurley, Ashland and
Mellen, and on Friday at Washburn
and Bayfield,.
Gov. Blaine will make the Fourth
of July address at Superior, where
a celebration will be staged under
the auspices of the American
Legion. He will end his first
campaign speaking tour with an
address at Stoughton, Dane county.
AS far as could be learned yester
day no person or organization in
Hurley had been apprised of the
governor forthcoming visit here,
and neither could it be learned
whether any arrangements had
been made to receive the governor
or 10 provide place for holding the
meeting. Inquiries of a number
OF local prominent politicians fail
ed to throw any light on the matter,
they saying that the only thing
they knew about the governors
proposed visit was what was learn
ed through newspapers. Since the
governor is travelling by automobile
it is believed that he will merely
stop here on his way to Ashland
and that if be speaks it will be to
an open air gathering.

Farmers Slowly
Get Over Slump.
urchasing Power In
creasing Steadily
Thinks Secretary.

WASHINGTON-Secretary of the
Agriculture Wallace asserts that the
farmers purchasing power is increas-
ing slowly. He says that this comes
about through recent advances in
prices of principal farm products and
some decreases in prices of other
things. The secretary observes that
this is hopeful sign, not only to re-
tailers but to industry in general;
there may be occasional recessions in
prices of farm products, but the low
period seems to be past and the trend
| is upward The stiffening of the
prices for hogs is especially encourag-
mig. Almost half the corn grown in
the larger corn-producing states is
marketed in the form of hogs. With
hogs at present prices, the farmer is
getting from so to rs cents a bushel
for his corn, depending on his nearnes:

MANY DAYS LOST

Production Reduced Ma.
terially Through In
forced Idleness.

WASHINGTON = Supplementing
its statistics of many days lost on &C
count of strikes, the United States
geological survey presented data as
to the man-days lost through other
causes. In the 20-year period. 1900
1919 the operators reported a total
loss of l24,747,199 man-days through
strikes, but the loss attributable to
other causes was 1,053,576,OOO man
days, or eight and half times as great
as the strike loss. To put it another
way, in two decades American coal
miners lost one and sixth billion work.
ing days, of which los per cent was
ascribable to strikes and 89.5 per cent
to other causes, chief of which are
no market, car shortage, and mine
disability.
These statistics of strikes are based
upon annual reports furnished by the
operators which give Number of men
on strike" and Average number of
days on strike" The man-days lost
on account of other causes are cal
culated from the operators reports
Of number of days of mine operation,
the full working year being taken as
308 days.
The statistics of strikes include time
lost through suspensions" during the
period of the biennial wage negotia-
tons, between the termination of one
agreement and the signing of an
other. That the greater part of the
strike loss is associated with such
suspensions" is seen from the fact
that with few exceptions the years of
large strike losses are the even"
years when the wage negotiations &C.
cur; particularly 1902, 1906, 1910, 1912,
and 1914. In the odd" years strike
losses have been by comparison
small, except in 1919, in which year
a general strike of union bituminous
miners was called. Statistics of va
rious strikes in 1920 and 1921 are not
yet available, but enough information
is at hand to show that in comparison
with earlier years the figures for 1920
will not be large, while that for 1921
will be unusually small.

The record year in point of man
DAYS lost on account of strikes was
1910, yet the 19,250,524 days sacrificed
to strikes in that year were only 50
per cent of the total days lost, for the
causes other than strikes were re-
sponsible for loss of 44,693,242 man.
days. The total loss for all causes in
that year was slightly less than in
either the year before or the year
after. In fact, 1910 established new
record for production. These facts
illustrate what is we'll known that
American soft-coal mines are develop
ed so far above the annual demand
that full-time operation, year in anc
year out, is not attainable.
