There Can Be No Doubt About the
Results in Willmar

Editor Tribune:
The action Of the so called Flying
Squadron in boosting for Volstead
teaches what we may expect from ths
p!underbund during the campaign. l
am as dry as the driest Of them. Near
ly forty years ago Gin 1884 l voted
for st. John, the straight dry candi-
date, for President. So far as law is
concerned the wet and dry issue is
settled. AL Of the states, but two,
believe, endorsed the dry amendment
to the constitution. There is no con-.
certed movement to repeal or modify
the sO-called Volstead act It is GER
tainly not an issue here in the 7th
District For outsiders to come in here
with a. fake program and attempt to
raise this issue simply shows what
big business will try to do to accom-
plish its ends. But nobody needs to be
deceived. Here is one "dry" at least
who is not going to be fooled inc cast
ing his vote for man who helped to
put bill through Congress, the Cum
mins-Esch act, which unless speedily
repealed will utterly destroy the pros
perity of this great West A measure
which is so Ubiquitous that nobody
dares to defend it.
Not one single speaker will COM
mend this law guaranteeing fixed pro
fits to the railroads and allowing the
big railway magnates to name their
own salaries and take it out of your
pockets and mine.
The kept press does not even men
ton this Act But how can the man,

creased, experts say, to the tune of
$1.00 per day by this infamous mea-
sure, overlook this fact?

with their "Flying SQUADRON up to the
very day Of election, and even spend
as much money in their efforts as it

J. Volstead from the righteous wrath
of the people whose interests be SO
shame!essly betrayed when he voted
for bill to allow the railroads to alb.

order to encourage agriculture, had
passed an act to help the farmers sim

Authority Withheld by Smith

On April 8, 1918, Regional Director
Smith replied to Mr.. Rae as follows:
'sIn view of the fact that the Rail-
road Wage Commission has before it
request from the representatives OF
these employees for time and one-half
for overtime and the further fact that
the Wage Commission will in all prob
ability hand down its award in the
very near future, believe it would be
advisable for your company to with
hold action on this proposition until
the Wage commission renders its
award" -.
Under date of. April II, Mr.. Rae az
ain wrote Mr.. Smith,, pressing his pre-
vious request for: authority to pay
punitive overtime. He said: 49,.
MAY I ask you to kindly reply to
my letter Of March %, regarding re-
quest of committees representing shop
employees at the different points on
our system, for compensation on the
basis Of time and one-half time for all
overtime work? This is a very press
ing matter and we would like to be
advised as soon as POSSIBLE
Mr.. MoAdoo testifies that after re-
ceiving the second letter from Mr.. Rae
Director Smith telephoned Director
Gray tof the Division of Operations of
the Railroad Administrator and ask
ed for authority to adopt overtime
payment, "but did not receive it,
Overtime Established by Pennsy
despite this failure to get author
ity from Director of Operations Gray"
said Mr.. McAdoo, Regional Director
Smith, on April 16, 1918, acceded to
the request Of Mr.. Rea to put in a
schedule of time and a half time for
overtime work"
Mr.. Smiths letter of authorization
to Mr. Rae is dated April 16, and is as
| follows:
gin VIEW OF ALL LINES IN YOUR
TERRITORY, EXCEPTING P. e. r.,
PAYING TIME AND ONE-HALF FOR
OVERTIME WORK, it will be salts
factory for you to put this basis Of pay
into effect in the shops on your line
This testimony completely disproves
the charges of railroad officials thai
punitive overtime was forced upon the
railroads and thereby added to thei'
cost of operation.
The facts are, as testified to by Mr.
Rae, of the Pennsylvania, that with
the exception Of his road and the Phil
adeIphia and Reading, the practice o.
paying punitive overtime rates wa:
in effect on practically every road ir
the Eastern district.
1t is further proven that the Penn
sylvania Railroad was not forced tx
Fay overtime rates, but that it's man
ayers repeatedly sought permission tt
do so.
When this permission was not sc
cured from the Railroad Administra
ton, Regional Director Smith, one O
the country's leading railroad official
and severe critic of Federal control
on his own authority, and in respons'
to the earnest appeals of Mr.. Rae
granted authority to the Pennsylvania
Railroad to put the plan into effect.

FAMOUS MrNSTRELS HERE

For singing and dancing none can
excel the colored race, and it seems
the cream Of the colored talent has
been brought into the Famous Geor-
gia Minstrels; at least this company
has established itself as a top liner
attraction and is not thought of as
"nigger show"-it being in the same
class and character as any white min
stre!, unless it be that it is superior,
and the white people approaching the
efforts of these deserving people are
very liberal in their patronage.
So far this season, reports verify
the fact that five nights out of the
week, hundreds are turned away from
the Famous Georgia Minstrels.
They will be here at the Dreamland
Theatre, on Monday, May 18th.

FEATURE HERE
ON TUESDAY
Gubby McDermOtt and
His Stars Will Play
Company ID

Coach Burns of the Company y
basketball team has a remarkably
strong attraction coming here for
Tuesday night. He has secured
big "Gubby" McDermott and his
Hanover A. c. which will be. re-
mcmbcred here last year as one of
the cleanest and fastest contests
that has ever been played on the
local court.
The game last year resulted in
a 30 to 20 score in favor Of the
local team. There were only five
fouls called in the whole game and
the feature playing of McDermott
and Yuille will be remembered
by all who saw it.
McDermott is bringing the same
Yuille back with him this year and
in addition, Tracy, Arkey, and the
vcl satile "Wallie" Kopf who will
be remembered as the third base
man at Newport the past two years
ami later with the New York
Giants.
This game is sure to be hum
dinger. Coach Burns has played 4
game with the local club and has
an idea what they can do, so fans
may be sure of a faster combina-
tiCu even than last game.
