STRIKE
SETTLES down
TO LONG FIGHT
Unions Determined to
Organize Industry

The strike against the Edison Eleo-
trio Appliance company, on 18th and
SIND aVeneue is now entering the fifth
week with the men determined to car
ry on the fight until this notorious
open shop concern recognizes their
union and pays them living wage.
The company is doing everything
in its power to break the spirit of the
strikers but have failed miserably and
the morale Of the strikers is excellent.
The picket line is very effective and
those men whom the employment
agency have hired from the main Of
flee have turned away when they dis
covered that a strike was on at the
plant.
More Scab Herders.
The company has lately increased
its army of so-called deputy sheriffs
or professional scab herders, who are
trying their utmost to intimidate the
strikers threatening to beat them up
or arrest them if they dare to make
any remarks to the scabs. Only yes
terday one of the older men on strike
duty was threatened by one of these
young rats that If he did not keep
his trap shuth" he would "be thrown
into the can"
The strikers would like to know
whether Sheriff Hoffman has taken
the stars away from this bunch of
criminal candidates, or if the stories
about the so-called "shake-up" is
nothing but bluff.
The notorious strikebreaker. Eddie
Holstrom, is still busy at his profess
sion and Louis Olsen, the company
stool pigeon, who was one Of the first
to join the union, to spy on his fel:
low workers and report to the COM
pany, is performing double service to
his masters by being private driver
for the scabs at night time.

Bank Fails to Open.

TAMA, Ia, Jan. THE First National Bank
of this city failed to open its doors today.
An announcement by the directors said that
they had voted not to take on further respon4
sibIties in view of the bad condition Of its af-
fairs. The bank was capitalized for $4,000
and its last statement showed deposits Of
100000. A large sum of money had been
brought here from Cedar Rapids to meet an
expected run if the bank had opened for BUSH
ness today. A committee has been named to
reorganize the bank.

Biggest Farm Failure.

CEDAR RAPIDS, la, Jan. Probably the
~ biggest farm failure, outside OF wheat, in
middle west history was made public here to-
day when Charles UIrich of Iowa Falls filed a
bankruptcy petition in federal court, giving his
liabilities as 81 ,046, 101 .06 and assets of only
few thousand dollars. His wife filed similar
petition listing debts of $5,71s and no assets.
Ulrich listed among his debt unsecured notes
for all but $4,000 Of the total. Most of the
notes are held by seven creditors four of them
located in Des Moines.

work out of a worker than be-
fore at smaller cost.
The function of the bonus is to get
the worker to speed-up-to work
faster. When the worker works
faster and speeds-up, he produces
more. The company is able to make
more profits per day. The worker as
his reward" gets a few measly cents
while the company pockets fat dollars.
How the Plan Works.
A beautiful example as to how this
bonus or incentive plan works can be
easily illustrated by the following in
cident in the hog killing department.
