Underpaid Metal Workers.
tor, DAILY WORKER:

IQlLOfg DAll4l WOhhEhs
If we analyze the situation in the
metal drawing and stamping industry,
we cannot help but notice that this
line is one Of the worst paid and the
most backward.
Workers employed on skilled or
dangerous jobs usually get about 1856
or $40 a week. Although metal
drawing is not highly skilled, it is
extremely dangerous. Those who
have worked power press realize
that a worker in the industry risks
the loss Of his hands Is or 20 times
a minute. In many shops in which
| have worked, the guards were taken
off the machine as soon as the in
spector left.
Most workers in New York work
from 40 to Al hours a week. Needle
trades workers, have won for them
selves the 40 hour week. In the
metal industries the shortest working
week is forty-eight hours, and in
most Of the shops, il is a fifty-hour
week.
Most Of the metal shops are situa-
ted in cellars, where there is little
fresh air or sunlight, where the iron

~ DRAMA IN
Summer Revival
The Tribulations of Male Dressmaker-
Leo Carrilla in Old Role

As an example of the absurdities Of
the female parasites of capitalist So
ciety lombard, Ltd" the play being
revived at the George M. Cohan Thea
tire, with Leo Carrilla in the star part
which he created some ten years ago,
is superb. There pass before one the
gorgeously gowned legal and illegal
kept women of the exploiters OF the
workers in a display of finery the
value of which would keep The DAILY
WORKER going for some years.
All of them air their troubles in the
fancy dressmaking shop of an excita-
BILE Italian, lombard, who is a genius
for designing costumes for the elegant
ladies, but who is annoyed by his
bookkeeper who constantly posters
him with little slips of paper" from
his creditors.
Mr. Garlic in the role of lombard
again proves his mastery as come
dian and in one scene in which a
mercenary female breaks the hypnotic
spell she has woven over him by run
ming away with an old roue he dis
plays his power as an emotional actor.
He is supported by a competent,
well balanced cast; all of them hand
ling their parts well, particularly
those whose job it is to depict the
idlers as particularly loathsome in
dividuals. The denizens of Park Row
and Riverside Drive may not care for
lombard, Ltd" because it pictures
them as they are.

Todd Co. Resident
Drowns In Greek
Anton Hengemuhle, Aged 81
Years, Falls in Greek Sunday
and is Drowned

A sad accident Sunday evening
caused the death of Anton Henge-
muhle, aged Todd county pioneer.
Mr.. Hengemuhle, who was past
eighty years of age, had gone down
to the little brook which is near
the house on his farm, and seated
himself on the, bank as was his
custom. He was troubled some
with lame feet and liked to wash
them in the cool waters of the
creek. 1t is thought that while
STOPPING over in the act of washing
his feet he fell into the creek. Be
ing aged and infrm, he was un-
able to help himself and was
drowned. His son, George, went
to call him to supper and found
his body. The creek is shallow
but the old gentleman had been
unable to get out of the water.
Mr.. Hengemuhle was a true
type of pioneer, thrifty, hard
working and willing to endure
hardships. He was a good citizen
and respected by all his neighbors
and acqhaintances.-Long Prairie
Leader.

Burglars Steal
5OO-Pound Safe
Red Owl Store at Little Falls
Robbed Early Sunday; Another
Entered at Rice

Little Falls, June 20-Burglars
entered the Red Owl store early
Sunday, stole a quarter-ton steel
safe and removed it to a side road
three miles south of the city, where
they smashed the combination lock
with a heavy instrument, took out
$3.50 in cash and ed, leaving prac-
tically no clue.
During the night a 400-pound
safe was stolen from the Pure Oil
filling station at Rice.
The Red Owl safe was discov-
cred by two sons of Henry Dufort
Sunday morning. Mr.. Dufort no
titled the police, who had just been
notified of the robbery. Papers be-
longing to the store were untouch-
ed. The Rice safe, however is still
missing.
The robbery here is believed to
have been committed between 2
and a. m. Residents above the
store remembered hearing sounds
at that time. 1t is believed that
the safe had been moved up to the
front door of the grocery, ready
to be loaded into truck as the
signal was given that the way was
clear. Heavy tracks along the
road east of Gregory station, indi-
Gated that the safe had been taken
out by truck. tL5S.
Authorities link the robberies
with the looting of the safe in the
Northern Pacific station at Crom-
well Saturday night.

Sioux Seek Fancy Name
to Give President

Rapid City, s. D., June 20
The Sioux Indians, doughty
warriors of the plains, who
once gave Uncle Sam much
trouble, are now debating the
name they will give President
Coolidge on the occasion of
adopting him into their tribe.
"The Great White Father" is
all right for a president when
he sits in his ,tepee in Wash
ington. But when the Pres
ident comes west and be-
comes a member of the tribe
itself, then some distinctive
Indian name must be select
ed.
Standing Bear of the Pine
Ridge has been in Rapid City
during the past few days
consulting with Senator Nor
beck and others, carefully
feeling out the white chiefs
as to the name which should
be given.
SUCH common names as
"Young Man Afraid of His
Horse" "Bit in the Sum-"
Grain in the Face" will hard
ly do. The great white father
must have some real fancy
name.

PRESIDENT DRESSES
LIKE THE COWBOYS
Ten Gallon Hat Supple
mented by Boots and
Riding Breeches
PLENTY OF SPARE TIME
Wife Takes to Rod and Reel
and Crowds Him for
Fishing Honors

Rapid City, S. D., June 22-
The spirit of the west seems to
have completely overtaken Presi-
dent Coolidge and before he re-
turns to Washington he will have
shared in large measure of life in
South Dakota, which in many ways,
is typical of "the great bread bas-
ket of America"
Not only has he entered eagerly
into the activities of the new life
surrounding him; he has taken a
taste for its clothes as we'll and to
the two gallon hats which he wears
frequently around the summer
white house, there have been add
ed a pair of walking or riding
breeches and some boots. In these
he likes to go fishing or sit in the
early evening before dinner on the
porch of the state game lodge.
The president has before him on
his way back to Washington, an
other trip to the heart of South
Dakota, southern Minnesota and a
corner of Wisconsin.
On the way out he remarked up
on the fine appearing crops and
by the time he returns, the fields
of rye, wheat, corn and flax should
be we'll on their way to a golden
harvest.
But while these will give him a
glimpse of the great farming re-
gions of the country, his trip to
Deadwood and Bellefourche, will
provide scenes of the dyed-in-the-
wool west. Z r.
At Deadwood, the gold mining
days of 1876 will be re-staged and
at Bellefourche, the president and
Mrs. Coolidge will witness one of
the most extensive rodeos the west
knows. The Deadwood trip will be
made in early August and the
journey to the rodeo city comes ON
July 4, Mr.. Coolidge's fifty-fifth.
birthday.
Meanwhile in their mountain re-
treat Mr.. and Mrs. Coolidge are.
finding complete rest and diver
sion. The days are of even tenn
perature and the nights are cool
enough so that plenty of blankets
are laid out on their sleeping
porch. During the daytime there
is fishing for both of them and
now that Mrs. Coolidge has been
initiated to the rod and reel, there
is prospect of pleasant hours to-
gether at the side of a singing
creek-about the only place where
photographers, newspaper writer's
and visitors dare not seek them
out. ii

Grading Starts on
Highway No. 4
Nolan Bros, Contractors, Have a
Large Crew of Men and Teams
on the Ground

Friday of last week Nolan
Brothers, of Minneapolis, contract.
ors for the grading of the nearly
18 miles of Highway No. 4, be-
tween Sauk Centre and Long
Prairie, arrived with the largest
road making crew ever seen in
this section.
The outfit went into camp on the
Buckley farm, near Spring Park,
and the work of moving dirt is
progressing rapidly. They are
working from Sauk Lake, where
the highway will cross the narrows,
to the north. 1t is understood that
when the complete crew arrives on
the scene with good weather they
expect to complete the grading in
about 10 weeks.
The contract for the bridge
across the Narrows has not been
let, but probably will be within a
comparatively short time. 1t is
not planned to have the bridge
built until the grading on either
side of the channel is completed.
While the fill on either side OF
the bridge will be heavy the fill
across Cedar Lake, near the vii
lage of Little Sauk will be even
heavier than the one across the
Narrows.
A few weeks ago some of the
wise ones professed to have Sin
side" information that the High
way across the Narrows would not
be built, and they succeeded in
making some of the timid ones be-
lieve it.
Those who had been active in
securing the Highway across the
Narrows refused to become ex.
cited as Commissioner Babcock had
given his word and the contract
for the work was let late last
fall. The backward spring de-
layed the starting of the work fol-
several weeks.

BUTTERMAKERS TO
MEET HERE JUNE 80
Butter to Be Exhibited at
Stearns County Fair Will
Be Scored
CHICKEN PIE SUPPER
Business Men Invited to
Function at Community
Club Rooms

Thursday of next week, June
80, the Minnesota Creamery Op-
orators and Managers Association
of Unit No. will meet at the
Sauk Centre Community Club
rooms at which time the butter to
be exhibited at the Stearns Coun-
ty fair will be judged and the priz-
es awarded.
This organization while its pri-
mary purpose is to improve and
protect the condition of the cream
cry operator, has done much to
advance the dairy industry of this
section. H. B. Otte of Melrose is
president and Charles Bohlig OF
New Munich is secretary. The di-
rectors are John Neihaus, Alois
Obermiller and John Hortsch.
This organization is strong
wing of the Agricultural Society
of Stearns County as they take en-
tire charge of the dairy display at
the Stearns county fair. There is
a friendly rivalry between the but
termakers of the creameries OF
this section, and they all send jars
to the county fair for exhibition
The butter is scored by experts be-
fore the fair opens and then is ar
ranged in the refrigerator show
case in the agricultural building.
The officers of the Association
have arranged for a chicken din
ner to be served at the Commun-
ity Club rooms at $50 p. m. next
Thursday evening. The dinner
will be served by Mrs. Brown OF
the Main Street Cafe.
The officers and members OF
Unit No. 8 desire to get better ac-
quainted with the lSauk Centre bus
iness and professional men. That
this may be brought about a
cordial and earnest invitation is
extended to the business men to
attend this dinner. The butter
makers rightly feel that the bet
ter they are acquainted with the
business men Of their district the
easier it will be for them to work
out their problems and advance the
dairy industry.
The dinner will be "Dutch"
treat. The Herald hasn't been ad-
vised what the cover charge will be
whatever it is it will be worth the
price.
