NOSE BROKEN IN AUTO MIS-
HAP. 80.

Mrs. R. E. Alvin sustained slight
injuries and broken nose Tuesday
morning at 1890 o'clock when car
in which she was riding went over a
bump, giving the car a sudden jolt
and throwing her, face upward,
against one of the ribs in the top.
The car was being driven by L. A.
Gaut, and the party, consisting of
Mrs. Alvin and three daughters,
were bound for the old Rieger farm
where an all-day picnic was being
given by the Methodist church.
The accident happened near the
fair grounds, about four miles from
the Rieger farm. Mrs. Alwin's
daughters, Alma and Lillian occupied
the back seat with her. They, too,
were thrown from their seats, but
were only slightly injured. Those in
the front seat were not affected by
the jolt, the weight of the engine
not permitting the front wheels tc
rise from the ground. 60 -,

Some of the local skat fans are
quite enthusiastic over this event
and feel that there will be in the
neighborhood Of 800 to take part
in the contest. The roads are very
good and if they should remain so
there will be large number Of skat

pecially from the immediate neigh

to be here. It is worth any skat
onkel's time to take a try at the

was suffering from nervous fright only.
Driver Failed To Make Turn.
f5 The car left the road about q mile
west of Buffalo Lake where the road
turns abruptly to cross the railroad
track. Robert Lind, who was driving,
failed to make the turn, and the car
plowed into an adjoining field.
The car was a roadster and all the
occupants sat in the one seat with
Mrs. Lind and the baby in the middle
and the two brothers on either side.
This arrangement seems to have pro
tected Mrs. Lind and the baby when
the car turned turtle. The Linds
were on their way from their home in

NATIONWIDE STRIKE OF RAIL
ROAD SHOPMEN AFFECTS 1
17IN NEW ULM. .
NEW ULM BOYS WALKED OUT
AT 10 A. NJ. SATURDAY ON
.. UNION ORDERS. ,.:

Seventeen men in the Northwest
ern Railroad shops in New Ulm laid
down their tools at 10 o'clock last
Saturday morning on orders from the
union and quietly and without dem
onstration walked out, joining the
nationwide strike of railroad shop
men which became effective all over
the United States at that time. The
men who received orders to quit work
in New Ulm are 10 car repairers, 4
freight car inspectors, blacksmith,
l blacksmith's helper and l boiler
maker. ..---.'. .,.,...a =
"All out and standing firm" was
the only message the Remev reporter
could get from strike headquarters
in New Ulm this morning. The
men seemed reluctant in discussing
the strike and a little bit suspicious
even of friendly reporters. Meetings
are held daily by the New UlIn
strikers the same as is being done
all over the country. A feeling of
"stick and VIM was evident on the
faces of the New Ulm boys.
Fighting For Living Wage.
There are three demands made by
the shop crafts of the country to the
railway executives:
1. To continue the payment of
wages at present in force. >.... ....
2. To restore operation under rules
6, 10, ~, IA, Is, 46 and 1T as they
existed prior to- the amendments
thereof proposed in Decision 222.
8. To discontinue the contra citing
out of work and shops pending
negotiations between the Association
of Railway Executives and the Rail
way Employees Department. >
Railroads Often Disobey U. S.
Board.
The railroads have at various
times refused to abide by decisions
made by the United States Railroad
Labor Board. Now that board is
taking sides with the railroads and
asking men to work for wage re-
duced to an average of $563.04 q
year, which reasonable people will
admit is entirely inadequate.
Women Back The Men.
Wives and mothers of New Uln

way one of them put it. The same
attitude is reported from all over thu

county treasurer under the law.
Herman Polkow, chairman Of the
county board, entered a demurrer
against making him a party in the
suit. The demurrer was sustained
by Judge Olson. s i L. I. n.
Finds For Plaintiff.
The county auditors answer to
the complaint admitted all allega-
tions of fact in the complaint to be
true but based his refusal to pay
more than $50 a month as clerk
hire in the county treasurer's office
on chapters 154 and 387, Laws Of
1921. These were passed by the last
legislature as amendments to the
former laws on clerk hire. laa 81

Further proof that Arizona is rap- Idly awakening to the necessity of developing cheap power along the when directors of the Phoenix Cham Der oG Commerce endorsed the Dai- mond Creek dam project, backed by James B. Grand, Gen. John c. Green way and associates.
 The endorsement of the Diamond Creek project was in the form of a unanimous vote that recommends tions submitted by committee ap- pointed to study the Colorado river situation be adopted. The committee had been instructed to study partic- ularly the proposal for the construc tiOn of the Diamond Creek dam. It's report follows: :. Raa
 Whereas, the present industrial needs for power in Arizona will utilize the output from proposed Dia. mond creek dam, which can be in operation in two years and will in no way interfere with the sale of power to be developed at other pro posed dams which will require ap. proximately ten yaers to build.
 We respectfully urge that at the earliest possible date permission to construct the Diamond creek dam be granted to such individuals or cor porations as indicate ability to fin ance and build same within a short time.
 We further suggest that a survey
