uled week nights.

Neither the county nor city po-
litical situation has taken definite
shape, it being somewhat early for
candidates to declare themselves.
Neither has the local Republican
Organization formulated any def
mite plan for the Offices to be filed.

Common Pleas Judge William
H. Smathers issued warning
yesterday that continued demand
for increased wages would result
in killing "the goose that lays the
golden egg when he handed down
a decision as arbitrator in a dis
pute between union tilesetters and
their employers today
Judge smathers. while granting
the union an increase Of -one deIfas
per day, bring the scale up to SIS
per day, declared that he had
made his decision as the result of
experience gained while presiding
in the Domestic Relations Court.
my experience for the past five
year." he said. "conyinces me that
it is a hard problem for the labor
ing man TO maintain his wife, sew
eral children and himself even on
the present high scale of wage.
There is considerable merit in the
contention of the labor union that
the cost of living in Atlantic City,
especially rentals, is higher than
in any other city.
"On the other hand. there is real
merit in the contention of the
master builder or contractor that
the present high wage scale is the
result of an unprecedented build
ing boom and that the wage scale
cannot be further increased.
THE increase that the labor
union seeks, of course, will not be
born by the builder. Such in
creases are always added to the
contractors estimate: passed on
TO the cottage. hotel or store
owner, and in turn passed by them
to the visitor. This means that if
the wage scale should continue to
increase it will soon reach the
point where our visitors will re-
fuse to come to Atlantic City,
thereby compelling the community
to suffer"
The union and the employers
brought their difficulties to Judge

IMPRESSED BY
CITY'S GROWTH
Retired u. S. Army Medical
Officer, Once at Fort Lin
cCln, Visiting Here

Hard times in this section of the

healthy growth, in the opinion Of

Of week or 10 days. Colonel Naus
is 4 retired United States army off
Ger, having been with the army medi-
cal corps for more than 40 years.
Only few Of those whom Colonel
Mans knew when he was stationed a
old Fort Lincoln remain, most 81
them having already gone to the
Great Beyond. The colonel came to
Bismarck in 1877, when the railroad
ended here and there was very little
habitation west of the river. he
served 4 four-year term at the STAND,
ing Rock reservation and anothef
four year term At Fort Lincoln. IRON
here he went to New York and h.
since served all over the world. he
was in Cuba during the Spanish Amer
lean war and later was op dut. IN
the Philippines, where he served "a
first comm ssioney OF pubic aeaitf.
under the then Governor William h.
L. y
tai in establishing the leproay colony
on the island of Cullion.
Retired in 1915
After returning from the Philip
pines the colonel was stationed at
various places in the United Siaies
until 1918, when he was retired from
active duty after ii years of service
He was recalled TO duty during the
world war, however. and served TWO
years, mostly on the wes' coast.
Bismarck. as Colonel Maus knew Il.
was a small village of about 20 IN
habitants LAID out almost entirely
along Main street, and he expressed
great surprise todaS II the remark
able growth which thi. municipality
has enjoyed He was most impressed
with the splendid business insiitu-
tlons which now line the streets Of
the mercantile district. and the many
beautiful residences which grace the
residential sections. Coming west
from Fargo, he also noted particular
ly the bountiful crops which cover
the prairies as far as the eye can see,
and compared the scene to that OF
the bleak prairies which he saw when
he first came here 80 years ago.
Colonel Maus owns considerable
property in Bismarck and some IN
Mandan, and while here will look
after business interests as well as
reminisce with the "old timers His
last visit to the city was in 1916.
