Ottawa, Sept. 2O.-The conference
 called by the Dominion government to
 deal with the question Of unemployment or rather "tO devise a certain regulari-
 zation Of industrial employment, having
 regard particularly to building and other out of door work during winter sea son." as the official invitation read-was held at Ottawa on Wednesday and Thursday of last week. It was attend ed by representatives of practically all of the provinces, most of the larger the two great transpOr- tation companies, the Canadian Manu- facturers' Association, the Association of Canadian Building and Construction Industry, the Trades and Labor Con- gress of Canada and the chief Canadian executive officer of the seven most inn Dortant international unions.
 Although several clashes occurred, between the representatives of the Dominion government and the Canadian Manufacturers Association, when the latter interjected the question 1f tariff, a resolution was finally adopt d containing certain recommendations 1 which should assist in relieving some l ,f the distress during the coming win !

ADDING INSULT TO INJURY
By F. FLAHERTY The Union of the National of

President Coolidge's veto of the postal pay bill was a grevious wrong against a practically helpless group Of workers whose emp1oyers-the Amer ican peop1e-had signally and with scarcely a dissenting voice approved the legislation.
 He added insult to this injury by making a grotesque political play to placate the postal workers and curry their favor by announcing his willing ness to sign a new pay bill-one sci entihcal1y drawn to meet his wishes.
 The President insults the intelh- gence of the postal workers by his implication that only with his consent can they secure their just dues--an adequate pay standard. He seemingly forgets that congress, acting as the dl- rect representatives of the owners of the service, almost unanimously agreed upon the necessity for higher postal pay rate. The house, on June 6, and the senate, on May 28, voted with but

ter.
 These recommendations embody prac- tically the whole program submitted by Tom Moore, president of the Trades and Labor Congress of Canada, on be- half of the labor group, and are as fol- lows:
 That all federal provincial and nu- nicipal government work now under construction should be continued with full complement of employees during the winter months.
 That all federal and provincial gov ernnent work that has been provided for during the past sessions Of the dif- fcrent parliaments should be immed1- ately undertaken and continued during ment of employees.
 That inasmuch as the federal gov ernment has during the past few years had in contemplation the construction of certain public buildings, for which plans and specifications are already i'll hand, we recommend that they be asked to call for tenders at once on such Of this work that can he proceeded with.
 That the greater the number of hours worked per day on all work un dertaken the smaller will be the num- Der engaged, and inversely the shorter the hours the greater the number who will he provided with some earnings to tide them over the period of scarcity of employment. We therefore recom- mend that this policy be followed.
 That a national committee be ap- pointed consisting of representatives of federal and provincial governments for the purpose of determining where nec- essary work can be initiated to best re- ieve unemployment, and to find ways

TELEGRAPHERS TO STRIKE

Toronto, Sept. 2O.-Telegraph oper- ators employed by the Canadian Press will cease work at 1 o'clock this aft ernoon if the news organization has not withdrawn it's recent proposal to decrease telegraphers wages, according to an ultinatum served by the operat ors' general committee.
 The press association on Aug. 8 sub mitted proposals for wage decreases of O3 week for workers in cities of more than 5O,000 population and of 07 week for employees in smaller cities.

six and three nay votes, respectively, for senate bill 1898.
 The President, exercising his right, vetoed the bill The veto message Is now before congress awaiting action in December We can not believe the congress will recede from it's position because of the Presidents opposition. We confidently look to see the veto overridden by substantially the same vote the bill received upon it's original passage.
 If the President has any genuine re- gard for the postal workers he should maintain a hand's-of policy until there is a vote on his veto. Having defeated our wage aims, he should not be too relentless in his desire to impose his will on the more or less helpless postal workers.
 We are at least entitled to a clear chance for the last big effort-a veto message vote. Mr. Coolidge is making 1t more difficult for us by his vague gesture and belated show of interest.

 The associatedc ontractors are at tempting to have all agreements ex- pire during the fall or early months, but the electrical contractors smashed this program by signing an agreement that can be re-opened next July.

 Makers of N A.

 Dear Sir and Brother:
 You will recall at the meeting of inc t.Nt cutlve Council Of the A. F. Of l.. hell in Montreal, Canada, May, 1924, the representatives of your organization and of the United Hatters of North America, we hear i'll regard to the d1s- putes existing between the two organi- cations At that meeting the Executive Council gave the dispute careful consi- iteration and rendered the'following de- cision:
 "The decision of the Executive Coun- Gil is that jurisdiction over all millinery workers be given to the United Cloth Hat and Cap Makers in view of the fact that the Executive Officers of the United Hatters of North America nave stated before this Council that the Hat ters have freely relinquished jurisdic- tinn over these workers This will in- clude the two locals that the Caitef Hatters of North America have DlcI- ged themselves to keep within their or ganization."
 At the meeting of the Executive Council held in Atlantic City, August l. Il, 1924, President Green of the United tlatters called my attention to 1he fact that his organization had not been ad- vised of the decision of the Executive Council. Upon investigation it was found that the decision had not been communicated to either organization.
 The decision was furnished to Presi- dent Green while he, was in Atlantic City and you will please regard the foregoing as official notification to your of the action taken.
 Yours fraternally,

Progressive Farmers Club
Annual Picnic Wednesday
Large Number Enjoy Outing A,
Fairy Lake-Business Men De-
feated at Kitten Ball

The Progressive Farmers Club OF
Fairy Lake enjoyed their annual
picnic Wednesday of this week on
the shores of beautiful Fairy Lake
west of the city, large number OF
families participating. j
Remembering how easy the bust
Tess men were at the Fair last year
the Farmers Club challenged them
for kitten ball game to be played on
the grounds near Fairy Lake in the
afternoon. After considerable elm
ination and much work, v. G. Wedge
ned up the following huskies for
the combat: Vennewitz, c; Wedge, p;
Bonner, Id; Rose and Kells, 2b; Perk-
ms, IS; Millner, SIS; Harrison, If Nye,
CT; Dock, Conklin, and Nathe, IF.
The Farmers team were made up
of the following: Dwyer, c; Wolfe, p;
Iwinsh, 1b. Huston, 2b; Putnam, 3b
Harry Knapp, SIS; Claude, SIS; Huis-
man, Dryer, Veeder, fielders.
Wedge fooled the farmers with
his slants the first inning and when
Sank Centre pushed two over in their
half, the business men began to get
pretty cocky. In the second the
lads from the country began to
land on Wedge to such an extent that
when he threw ball to the batter
he crossed his fingers and hoped
-Four runs were pounded out in the
second; two in the third; four in the
fourth; three in the fifth; four in the
sixth; and two in the seventh, max
ing grand total of 10.
The town team were shut out in
the second and third innings but
showed one over in the fourth and in
the fifth, 9 were put across by a
combination of hits and errors, and
one more was added in each of the
sixth and seventh, leaving the city
fellows on the short end of the
1914 score.
The men from the town are smart
ing over the defeat handed them by
the Farmers and have issued a defy
to play them a return game. Certain
of their superiority the farmers &C
copied and arrangements have been
made for a five inning kittenball
game at the Fair Grounds July 18th,
starting promptly at 200 o'clock, as
a preliminary to the Bertha-Alexan-
dria game. For this event the
Best-Schultz Company will hang up
a loving cup to be contested for each
year in three-game series. The
Farmers having won yesterdays
game they can cop the cup for a year
if they trim the businessmen on July
18th. In the event that the business.
men win the second game the third
and final game of the year will be
played during the Stearns County
Fair.
+. This picnic was up to the usual
standard of enjoyment given by this
progressive organization.

when they met and defeated the
Brainerd Elks at the Long Prairie
Fair Grounds by Is to 8 score,
seven innings.
The weather man was against the
ball game but at that a fair sized
audience turned out and enjoyed it
until the last half Of the seventh
when the game called on account of
of rain.
The game was interesting up to
the fourth inning when Little Sank
started their usual merry-go-round
scoring eight runs in the inning, and
taking the heart out of the Brainerd
boys. Little Sank made couple of
fielding errors but better team work
will be developed after needed prac-
tice. In the games played SO far the
team has showed plenty of hitting
strength.
Next Sunday Little Sank will meet
Park Rapids on the latter's ground.

100000 Road Bill Goes
Uncollected Every Year
Minnesota One of a Dozen States
Now Charging Tourists Nothing
for Use of Highways

Heavy losses Of legitimate tourist
road tolls are shown and proposed
gas tax results forecast on recent of
fetal figures on 1923 gasoline con-
sumption in Minnesota in a state
highway bulletin this week. High
lights on the tourist side are these:
Minnesota last year lost probably
100000 of state revenue on tourist
traffic because it was without gas
tax such as SO out of the 48 states
collect.
| The loss this year will be consider
ably larger, it is predicted, because
of the prospect for a record-breaking
year of tourist travel.
| Next year the loss may give way to
profit, however, depending upon
whether the next legislature taxes
gasoline used in motor vehicles.
Assuming that motor vehicles took
lie, 100000 of the 1875, 785, 900 gal.
Ions of gasoline consumed in the
state last year, according to official
figures, a 2-cent gas tax would have
produced $3,5O0,00O, including
100000 or more from tourists. The
last item is based on an official daily
average count of nearly 10000 cars
from other states covering in Mime
sofa 100 miles at IA miles a gallon
for 18O days last year, averages
held reasonable as a-whole.
Although collected from whole.
salers on tank car shipments into the,
state, gas taxes are paid by consum-i
ers in nickles and dimes at the filing
stations, and the gasoline consump-.
ton report discloses where the larg-
est sums would be taken. Over 40
per cent of any state gas tax here
| it shows, would be paid in the three,
lwealthiest counties, where are locat-
ed the cities of Minneapolis, st. Paul.
and Duluth. Gasoline sales in Hem
nepin county are more than 18 per
county over IA per cent and in st.
Louis county nearly 8 per cent of
the whole. Other payments would
aggregate 100000 in one county,
from $4,000 to 100000 each in 16
counties; $4,000 to $4,000 each in
"a counties; $4,000 to $4,000
each in % counties and less than
$4,000 each yearly in z counties,
all according to official consumption
figures and including collections from.
tourists.
Gas taxes are said to be least ex-
pensive of all taxes to collect. In
Indiana where the largest gas tax
collections are made the cost is less
than one-half of one per cent and no
state reports a cost over one per
cent.
Because of the extra tourist reve-
nue. it will yield, Minnesota automo-
bile club officials agree that this state
next year probably will follow the
example of others and place tax on
gasoline, the legislature already hav-,
ing authority to make such a. levy.
Accordingly, car and truck owners
are being urged to vote next Novem-
Der for the gas tax amendment which

Expert Engineer lnspects
Dam for Light Commission
Negotiations Pending With VIM. M.
Parker for Purchase of Water
Power and Flowage Rights

For several weeks the Water,
Light and Power Commission, Sank
Centre, have been considering the
ACCESSIBILITY of purchasing the dam
and water rights of the Central Min
nesota Power and Milling Company,
and utilizing the property to generate
additional electricity instead of pur-
chasing new Diesel engine for the
municipal plant.
Mr.. McCulloch, expert engineer
from the Pillsbury organization, Min
neapolis, spent the first of this week
going over the entire situation with
President Frank Perry of the Light
and Power Commission, and Supt.
of the Light plant, John McGibbon.
The investigation included the in
spection of the water shed and vari-
Gus supplies from which Sank Lake
and Sank River receives its water.
The water level in all of the riv-
ers and lakes has been very low for
the past few years and the condi-
lions at this time, according to the
judgment of Mr.. McCulloch, are not
particularly favorable for an ade-
quate supply to maintain the head
required to operate the local water
plant with profit, without the expen-
diture of a considerable sum of
money.
The control of the Sank Centre
dam by the city would be a fine thing
if it can be purchased at reasonable
figure and the water level raised to
a sufficient depth to operate profit
ably.

Great Northern Objects to
Railroad Commission Order
Claim That 1t Will Be Impractical
to Stop No. and 20 Here
Hearing Monday

Herald readers will recall that a
few week ago the Sank Centre
Council and Community Club passed
separate resolutions petitioning the
Railroad and Warehouse commission
to order the Great Northern Railroad
to stop passenger trains Nos. and
20. Under date of May 29th the
Commission ordered the Great North
ern to give Sank Centre the relief
asked for within a period of twenty
days or show cause why they should
no do so. On June 10th, the Great
Northern Railway Company through
their attorney Alec L.. James, served
an answer to this complaint and
order in which they set up the propo-
sition that to stop the trains as re-
quested would not only be impracti-
cal but would greatly handicap their
service from St. Paul to the coast.
The matter will be definitely set
tied at hearing to be held in the
Community Club rooms, Sank Gen.

Sank Centre Boy Scouts Are
In Camp at Big Birch Lake
Lads in Charge of Scoutmaster B. W..
Morgan Are Having Time of
. Their Lives

The boys of Sank Centre have at
last realized their dreams of spending
a part of their vacation at camp. On
Monday Scoutmaster Morgan took the
first division of his Boy Scout troop
out to Big Birch Lake. They are now
located on Tanners Beach, at New
Inns farm three miles southwest of
Grey Eagle. Three cottages, COOK
ing cottage, three large tents, and
seven small tents make up the camp.
"A large spring is located near the
kitchen, and thick wood surrounds
the entire shore line. The beach is
a perfect sand bottom one, it being
possible to wade out 200 feet from
shore. 1t is the most ideal location
for camp for the Scouts.
They are having the time of their
young lives. A regular program is
followed. Every man must "roll out"
at certain time, meals are at regu-
lar hours, swimming is at stated per-
iods, and the various kinds of Scout
work is taken up at definite times. 1t
is "early to bed and early to rise" out
at camp.
The "eats" take up the major por-
ton of the pleasing aspects of the
outing. Scoutmaster Morgan re-
marked he had never seen a group
of men that could eat as much as
these boys do. Harold Dickson is
the cook and according to reports he
is "dishing out things fit for king
Many local people are visiting
camp. The way is easy to find. At
ter you reach Grey Eagle go straight
south to Big Birch, turn to the right
past the cemetery and proceed west
until you reach Nevlin's farm. There
are signs along the road from the
cemetery to the camp visitors are
very welcome.
Besides Scoutmaster Morgan and
Cook Dickinson the following Scouts
make up the personnel of the camp;
