BIG STEEL SHIP JOB

Rumors that the Manitowoc Ship
Building Corporation had secured
contract for the building of large
steel freighters were confirmed this
week. The ship is to be built for
new corporation headed by Peter Reiss
of Sheboygan and will be added to the
Reiss feet. This was good news for
Manitowoc as it will employ a large
number of men for many months and
came just at a time when the unem-
ployment situation, which has not been
as acute here as in most cities, threat
ems to get worse. The city has many
men skilled in the various phases of the
steel ship building industry who have
been out of employment or working for
lesser wages at work for which they
were not trained.
The new ship will be of $50 feet
length, 56 feet beam and 30 feet depth,
all steel construction, of the self un-
loader type and of a capacity of about
5000 tons. Manitowoc's good fortune
may be CLEANED from the fact that not
shipyard on the Great Lakes Is at
work on anything but small craft Or
repair work. This is the biggest ship
ever built at Manitowoc as all the big
jobs since the advent of steel work,
aside from war work, were passenger
ships. This contract assures a summer
Of activity at the local yards and Is q
boon to the city in these times.

LOCAL LABOR TROUBLES

The situation in the strike of local
sheet metal workers remains unchang-
ed. The men are still out. There were
several conferences this week between
employers and employees at which a
union representative from Milwaukee
was present. The men remain firm in
their concession of but cents per
hour, offering to work for 70 cents,
whereas the employers stand pat on 60
cents.
One of the larger shops said that his
shop was running and that he could get
all the help he needed and that he
would hereafter run an open shop re-
gardless of the strike. The employers
evidently do not desire to engage labor
from out of town until all efforts to eff
feet a settlement fail.
There are rumors that there viii be
trouble this spring also between the
contractors and the carpenters. Tie
present agreement will expire in the
spring and the employers are said to be
ready to stand firmly for a reduced
wage while the union is reported as
getting ready to stick for the 1921
schedule. The contractors are also said
to be preparing to run an open shop
and take the men on individually with
out any agreement with the union. IN
less the signs fail there is likely to be
trnnhle

AFFIRM LOCAL JUDGMENTS

The Supreme court Tuesday, among
other decision, handed down decisions
in two appeals from the Manitowoc
county circuit court, affirming the
judgment in each case.
In Bast VS.. Sproll the trouble grew
out of sale of real estate at st. Ma
zianz. The circuit court upheld Sproll's
contention that the written instrument
was a land contract and void for omit
ting the necessary element of specify
ing when the unpaid balance should be
paid. DR.. BaSt claimed it was a promis-
sorry note by its terms and that the abb
sence of a specified time made it de-
mand note. The supreme court affirms
Judge Kirwan's conclusions.
In the other case, Woolworth Co. VS..
Fred Nogelsang, the defendant was en-
joined from maintaining two posts
along the edge of right of way which
the Woolworth company has to Frank
lin street back of Vogelsang's store.
The defendant set up that his easterly
boundary has sufficient physical width
for such encumbrances and that he was
giving the plaintiff his full specified
width of eight feet. The judgment of
the circuit court was affirmed, but as
the text of these decisions has not
reached the city it is unknown just how
far the decision goes and what its exact
import is.

JURY OUT SEVENTEEN HOURS

Last November Harry Axel of Val
ders called at the farm of Dan Duggan
in the town of Cato to get a COW that
he had bought from Duggan some time
before. In a criminal case of assault
and battery in municipal court last
Friday there were two distinct versions
of what happened to Axel when he an
nounced the purpose of his call Axel
said that he was most thoroughly beat
en- up. Duggan said that he merely
slapped Axel's face to compel obedi-
ence to a demand that he leave the
premises, Physicians test ed that
Axel was quite badly damaged about
the face and breast
There was a large crowd of Duggan's
neighbors from Cato to hear the case
and some of them appearing as "char-
acter witnesses" The jury made up
of John Kellner, Max Aumann, George
MacFarlane, John Nelson, Joseph Slad-
ky and Walter Wernecke retired for
deliberation at 8 o'clock Friday after
noon, and at 10 o'clock Saturday morn
ing they had not reached an agreement
and we're the disrl l.arge4 The Jay is
said to have stood 5to for conviction
after the first hour or so.
The large audience seemed 10 feel
amply repaid for attending as Mr.. Axel
made quite show of the trial, his
volubility being funny, sometimes con-
sciously so and at other times other
wise so.
The case will probably be tried
again but no date has been set.
The tedium of the all night session
was evidently relieved by music as the
voices of Joe Sladky and John Kellner
blended in stave of a song in the
Czech tongue occasionally rang through
the empty court house corridors and
kept the officers on guard awake at his
lonely vigil.

new HIGH SCHOOL SITUATION

The City Board of Education met
with the city councils committee on
finance last week and it was given out
that the adoption of the new high
school plans will be recommended to
the council at its next meeting, which
in all probability means the adoption
of the plans and the beginning of work.
There will be a joint meeting tonight
of the school body and the city council
in committee of the whole and after
that the finance committee will meet
to make up its report A number of
minor changes were discussed includ-
ing a relocation of the power house to
leave space for a possible future street
extension through the east end of the
school grounds.
The Board of Education passed a
resolution which briefly and politely
turned thumbs down on the petitions
filed with the city council for a re-
opening of the site question. The coun-
eli had referred the petitions TO the
Board of Education.
Miss Violet Miller, Fifth grade
teacher, has accepted position in Ari-
zona and Miss Ida Pickering was ap-
pointed 70 the vacancy.

of every description, laden to their full

store houses and wharves are filed to

Mr.. Louis Simon, while driving a
team loaded with sixty boxes of gar
den and flower seeds, drove into a sluice
way beyond Mr.. BODIES pier, on the
Sheboygan road with such force as to
throw him off his seat in between the
horses. How he escaped with only
lame foot is more than he can tell. The
team ran on and was captured by some
farmers on the road The only damage
done to the team or cargo, was the loss
of one box of seeds.

Building a Church in Day.

Rome was not built in a day, but
then Rome was very much behind the
times! On the outskirts of Chicago
a feat that would have astonished the
Romans has been performed, and it
sounds little startling even to our
ears. A contract was signed on Fri
day for the building of church. The
document stipulated that the church
should be ready for dedication on the
Sunday following. Just one day was
left for the putting up of building
which was to hold about three thou
sand people AT dawn on the Satur-
day morning the workmen started, and
at seven o'clock that evening the men
were putting in windows, doors, and
electric light. No floor was laid, but
by midnight all else was done and the
dedication services were held the fol-
lowing day. This feat had a parallel
in Pontiac county, Que, about forty
years ago.

Horse Rode on cowcatcher.

A tall story was brought into New
Westminster, B. c., by the crew of an
electric railway train, Fraser Valley
branch. They said tnat as they wait
ed at the "Y" for westbound c. N. r.
freight to get on to the bridge they saw
a horse jump off the cowcatcher of the
c. n. r. locomotive. IL ran down the
B. c. electric railway track toward
their train, halted until the G. N. X.
train went past, then turned and gal
loped back to the south shore; STUN
bled once on the ties, then regained its
footing and vanished. The story goes
on to say that the freight had run
