County Board Inspected
Roads in Seven Counties
NEIGHRoRING COUNTIES GIVE
Villas ROAD BUILDERS NEW
IDEAS ON CONSTRUCTION

The Villas County Board of Super
visors made an extended trip of high
way inspection last week visiting
seven counties to see how different
boards are meeting their highway
problems, winding up at Forest coun-
ty where in company with the super
visors of that county they inspected
a proposed new highway to connect
the Villas county trunk line ending at
Smoky Lake, with the Forest county
road leading to Iron River. They de-
cided to jointly build the intermediate
distance of about three miles as soon
as possible in the spring. When it is
completed the direct Iron River
route will go via Phelps and will
materially lessen the distance to the
Michigan mining town. All members
of the board were highly enthusiastic
over the way that Forest county
handles the highway situation and
particularly it's system of marking
streams, lakes, and all interesting
spots with their proper names and by
putting up wherever especially desir-
able rustic seats, spring coverings,
and establishing convenient camping
facilities for tourists, and strongly
contemplate copying some Of the For
est county ideas on Villas county
highways another year.

derive much enjoyment through the
winter, at the home of Mrs. w. H.
Bent, Friday evening. Thirteen tables

had been visited by the players, re-
freshments were served which were
likewise highly enjoyed.

Dear Editor:
1t is just two years since first
came to Eagle River and l cannot
help thinking of the great improve
ments that have taken place in that
short time. If Eagle River keeps on
growing as fast in the next two years
as in the past, we surely can be proud
of little village. Just stop and look
around and see all the well construct
ed business places and you will not
find anything better in the larger
cities. There is the Krefl plant, the
new Sanborn building, the First Nat
ional bank, the Farmers & Merchants
new home the Eagle Theatre and CAT

by her. She spends the winters in
Miami, Florida where she has caught a
number of large tarpon.

1t surely seems good to see all of

Washington. D. c., Aug. 24.-Ad-
vices reaching A. F.. Of L. headquar-
ters from the southwest describe a
movement for the development of
cooperation between wage earners
and farmers that may have far
reaching consequences.
The farmers are feeding the rail-
road strikers! -
The movement began in Texas and
is spreading through the whole
southwest -
Farmers, through their organiza-
tions-the Farmers Union in Texas
are bringing in great truck loads
of provisions. These provisions are
placed in vacant warehouses and
stores and systematically distributed
to strikers. -"
In turn. strikers are being detailed
to visit farm sections to help with
caring for and harvesting crops.
A movement Of cooperation and
understanding has sprung up that
may make itself felt in politics.
Nothing like it has been known be-
fore, according to advices from the
southwest.
In TexasTit Is reported, in defiance
OF the famous "open port" law, az
many as ninety-eight per cent of
stores in some towns display ,pla-
cards expressing full sympathy for
the strike.

traders are seriously concerned. The
matter has been discussed in private
by the railwaymen on former vuca-
sions. but it was decided this year,
although with some reluctance, that
the time had come to admit pub
licly the gravity Of the evil and to
declare that members Of the union
guilty of the practice ought to be
shown no consideration by their fel-
low workers.
Future in Doubt.
What the action Of the companies
on the wage question will be, no one
yet knows. They are constantly be-
ing pressed to follow the example of
the coal owners and other employ
ers,( and cut wages drastically at all
costs. The mems leaders sincerely be-
lieve that the present wages are not
a penny too high for the response
BILE and arduous work the men have
to do. and there can be little doubt
that If demand for any serious re-
duction were made and enforced,
the present good relations prevailing
in the railway industry would quick
ly be submerged by new wave OF
angry discomfort.
Everything depends upon the re-
lative strength of the two influences
in the managerial ranks noted above
The present indication is that II
strife on wages can possibly be
avoided, the British railway service
will be model Of stability, willing
work, and good relations, due to the
application Of the fundamentals OF
conciliation and fair. dealing.

Striking railroad shopmen have
not been chloroformed by the inter-
mittent peace parleys conducted by
President Harding at Washington
during the past two weeks Neither
were they surprised when the presi-
dent somersaulted over night in his
position on the question of seniority
rights. He apparently cannot forget
big business which nominated himaat
the Chicago convention in 1920. He
is much less a free agent than any
railroad employe on strike.
Therefore while negotiations were
on, the strikers continued to
strengthen their positions all along
the line. Reports coming to the rail-
way employees department here in

Today only 5000 head Of cattle
reached the Chicago stockyards
against an average Of 10000 per day

local papers that the yards will soon

strike is settled.

HUNGRY PR0FIIEERS
BOOST COAL PRICES

Coal owners have smashed the

several days ago, and congress will
be called upon to check the profi-
teers.
When the agreement was made,
no coal was being marketed, but
when the coal strike neared. an end,
and the demand for coal increased
the hungry profiteers could not re-
strain themselves and agreements
went skyward.
This condition has been created
despite the fact that the Hoover
agreement called for substantial
price increases for the coal owner,
although he has not been called ,ip-
on to pay wage increases.

who pays all the freight, both ways.
Another result is the imminent
danger Of seniority rights being alb
rogated entirely If the rail executives
have their way. This has aroused
the train and engine service brother
hoods. to whom seniority rights are
even more important than to the
shopmen. They now realize that
when the railroad labor board
adopted the infamous "outlaw" reso-
luton of July 3 there was written
into the transportation act an
amendment which can be made to
reach every railroad employe. The
rail executives, who inspired the
resolution, know this, hence their
obstinacy in holding out against the
shopmen. Once it is established that
men lose their seniority by striking,
a way is found to abrogate the rule.
No railroad executive is now sup
porting seniority rights for strike
breakers because he wants to do
justice to these men.
. " Continue to Suspend.
Engine and train service employees
continue to suspend work at impor-
tant division points in various parts
Of the country. The 1000 men of
the Elgin, ,Ioliet and Eastern rail-
road, the outer belt line of Chicago,
who started this movement over a
week ago when state troops were
placed in the yards, are still out and
not wheel is turning on that line.
Several Western trunk. lines have
been badly tied up during the past
week by the stoppage of train and
engine men. Thus the strike prom
ises to be progressive until a settle-
ment is reached. either by direct me-
gotiation between employer and ep-
p1oye or by the government taking
over the roads.
The railroad labor board appears
to be completely out of the running.
In fact it is the opinion here that
the board is dead at the hands of
Governor Hooper. it's chairman, who
conferred "once too many" with
General Atterbury, czar of the Penn
sylVania system. =

Harding and railroad labor organization
heads for a compromise settlement of
the railroad strike left Washington last
night convinced that the present strike
