KIDDIES APPRECI-

Twenty Rural and Graded

test Will Not Close Until
A Later Date

The Schools in Western Stearns
and Todd county are approaching
the value of the Playground APP
planes the Herald will present to
seven of the Rural, Graded and
Parochial schools who turn in
the largest number of years of
subscriptions to the Herald.
There are about 70 Rural and
Graded Schools in the territory
and to date % have enlisted. All
but a very small proportion of
these schools are in Western
Stearns county. There is still
ample time for successful enroll
ment. Unlike the usual subscrip-
ton campaign this is community
affair. There is a sad need of
playground appliances for the
children in every Rural, Graded
and Parochial School. The
small school should not be dis
couraged because they have an
equal chance with the larger school
to win one Of the prizes. The
small school with an enrolment of
only 10 will have percentage of
1000 with the payment of 10 years
of subscription, either renewal or
new subscribers. The school with
40 would be required to turn in
40 years of subscription to receive
1 900 per cent-but of course their
opportunity for securing renewals
and new subscribers is greater.
The Herald has started every
school entered with a percentage
of 1000. The % enrolled to date

PAVEMENT FINALLY OPENED

The strip of paving between Al

to the public Wednesday. The
pouring of the cement was COM
pleted weeks ago but the should

Tuesday evening. This completes
the paving from Sank Centre

FOOD BLOCKADE
INSTITUTED BY
MINE COMPANY
Union Plans TO Combat Move,
Called Effort to Gust
Miners From Homes

Pittsburgh, June 22-(R-Leaders
Of the United Mine Workers today
prepared to combat flood block
AIDE" they alleged police Of the Pitts
burgh Terminal Corporation have es-
tablished at Mollenauer, a mining
town, in an effort to Dust union min
ers from houses owned by the COM
pany. Proceedings brought by the
company to evict the miners now are
pending in state superior court with
possibility that no decision will be
reached before next winter.
Philip Murray, international vice
president Of the United Mine Work
ers. declared yesterday that the COM
pany police have declared an embar-
go against all deliveries from Pitts
burgh merchants and that miners at
Molienauer are forced to buy at
Castle Shannon, more than mile
away. Electric lights, he said, have
been turned off, necessitating the
use of oil lamps and lanterns.
President Issues Statement
Asked for statement, Horace F.
Baker, president Of the company
said it had been found against our
interests to have every one going on
our property where there were both
union and non-union miners and
therefore we laid down rules to ex-
clude them."
The Terminal Coal Corporation,
which owns eight mines in the Pitts
burgh district, has been seeking to
regain possession Of it's houses for
months. With the suspension of
operations in union bituminous mines
April /, the company announced it
would reopen its mines n0n-union. Its
Coverdale mine was reopencd April
&c.
The legal fight over occupancy of
the houses began April 20 when the
company filed eviction proceedings
against 10 union miners at COverdale.
Spokesman for the corporation at
that time said the company would
file similar proceedings against some
5000 union miners and their families
who were occupying the corporation
1900 houses. Subsequently such pro-
ceedings were filed against about loo
miners.
Carried 70 High Court
With the filing of the first 10
suits, the union began its fight TO
prevent eviction of the miners. As
each new batch Of eviction suits was
filed, union council gained a respite
through some countcr-court action.
Eventually all Of the ejectmcnt
proceedings were carried to the su-
perior court by the union. The court
will not convene until fall and a de-
cision may not be handed down for
some time after the session begins.

GAMMONS' JOB
MAY, MAY NOT
END ON JULY |
Governors Veto Leaves Him
With Job, But No Pay
way Out Is Rumored

Approach of July has brought a
hush Of expectancy to the state cap
itol here, at least to those who inter-
est themselves in the various politi-
cal maneuvers which are made by
the various factions.
Chief among the questions which
arc expected to be solved on July l
or shortly thereafter. is that of the
sccretaryship of the state Industrial
commission.
Enough money remains in the sal
ary fund of the industrial commits
sion to give the present secretary a
pay check on July l for his services
during June. The fund then will be
completely exhausted and there will
be no more Forthcoming, for Governor
Sorlic vetoed the appropriation for
his salary.
Independents Stand Pat
Despite the question Of where his
salary will come from, Independent
members of the commission appar-
emily are determined that John Gam
mons, the incumbent, shall remain on
the job and rumors filtcring through
the capitol halls are that they have
found way to pay him, despite the
lacl that the appropriation was
vetoed.
When other state departments run
short of funds they appeal to the
emergency commission for aid. Such
"a course would be useless in this
case, however, since the governor
controls the emergency commission.
The law creating the sccretaryship
of the industrial commission pro-
vidcs no fixed term of office and no
statutory salary. In the event that
the salary was fixed by law it would
have been useless for the governor
to veto the salary appropriation.
Since the Independents control the
commission and are unwilling to lose
Gammons, the governor cannot OBJ
tain the appointment of someone else
in his place, even though he Nigh be
able to raise the money elsewhere.
Meanwhile, capitol circles are quiet
" waiting for the next step which
will come when the money runs out
on July /.
