Here I am, 1900 miles from New
York, at Storm Lake, Iowa.
Entering the Citizens Bank, inter
viewed the president, Mr.. Schiller. In
the course of our conversation
asked him if there is any place where
one may be entertained. He in
formed me that across the lake there
is a very fine amusement place,
known as Casino Amusement Park.
Not only do the residents of the town
go there for amusement, but the
farmers of South Dakota, Nebraska,
and from the entire corn belt, spend
their vacations there. I inquired if
he knew who the owner of this
amusement park is. With a wry
smile upon his lips he told me that
it is a Morris Sigman, the president
of the International Ladies' Garment
Workers Union.
Thinks of ClOakmakers.
Immediately l thought that this
Mr.. Schiller was picturing a host of
thousands of cloak and dressmakers
who were constantly battling for an
opportunity to live like human be-
ings, and here was their president,
the proud owner of the Casino
Amusement Park-or perhaps he
thought, what kind of union is il
which permits its president to engage
in such an enterprise as the Casino
Amusement Park? Mr.. Schiller in
formed me that in the course of seven
or eigh- years Mr.. Sigman had de-
velOped the park from practically
nothing. Originally, Mr.. Sigman had
purchased about six acres, for which
he paid $4,000, but every year he
has putNup additions to the park, new
buildings, various improvements, and
has also bought additional land.
'It is my opinion" continued Mr.
Schiller, chat Mr.. Sigman must have
put in, during the past seven or eight
years, about $4,000"
After I saw Casino Amusement
Park, I was sure that Mr.. Schiller
was very conservative in his estimate,
for the park is worth a good deal
more.
Small Mortgage.
Undoubtedly, this must be a good
venture" l remarked.
NO." answered Mr.. Schiller, "for
the past few years farming in this
section has not been very profitable,
and it must cost an enormous amount
to keep the place going. But in spite
of all this, Mr.. Sigman is continually
adding to it all the time. His entire
mortgage. on the Casino Amusement
Park is only $4,000"
This last statement was very sur
prising to me. We have known for
some time that Mr.. Sigman had a
farm, and it was always rumored
that the farm was heavily mortgaged.
Now it appears that the farm is an
amusement park worth many thou
sands, and the entire mortgage is one
Of only $4,000.

amass such fortune in such a short
time. Other ideas crept into my
head, but l pushed them aside. In a
daze, walked down to the lake.
While standing there, l was greeted
in a very friendly manner by one of
the residents. In answer to my ques-
ton about the amusement park, he
told me that an enormous business
must be done there, for new additions
were constantly being built. cat one
time it was regular place." he
said, slyly winking an eye, "but. the
residents Of the city began to talk
about it, and now the place is a good
deal quieter" AS we were talking
two fishermen approached US, and,
overhearing our conversation, re-
marked that the casino must belong
to some crazy New York millionaire.
A Gold Mine.
I stepped into the motorboat and
was taken across. The owner of the
boat remarked that the Amusement
Park must be "a regular gold mine"
81 remember the place when there
was nothing there" he said, "but
since Mr.. Sigman owns it, il IS GROW
ing by leaps and bounds" These few
words were lAC o..
to get out Of hi.
AS I alighted from the motorboat,
| noticed Mrs. Slgman apbIv4--.-...,.
It is not easy to describe Mrs. Sig
man-she is a woman of average
build, brunette with chestnut-col-
o1od hair, and her face and eyes re-
fleet an open hostility tempered with
craftiness. | was reminded of the
DRY prOpounded by German profess
sor: that when husband and wife re-
side together for any length of time,
the wife's physiognomy gradually
changes, so that she acquires her
husbands looks.
Afraid of Reception.
l did not spend much time inter-
viewing Mrs. Sigman, for l was ac-
tually afraid that l would be given
the same reception offered to my fell
low-members in our union, and that,

come to naught.
The Casino Amusement Park is sit
uated in the very center of a farm
ing community. Its hugeness amazed
me.
The first building one notices is the
large casino. This building has many
wings. In one of them, which has
just been newly added, is housed the
skating rink, large enough to acco-
modate 500 people; following that is
the dance hall, which is much larger
and can easily take care of 500 cou-
pies; further on is the billiard room
with it's five tables, and a complete
bowling alley, Across the entire front
of the building is a large sign, an
nouncing; Dances, Games, Food,
Drinks, and Cottages for Rent"
Nearby is the restaurant building, so
built that it can comfortably accom-
modate couple of hundred diners.
Large Bath House.
Somewhat further away and near
er to the edge of the lake is large
bath house, where those who go in
swimming may change their clothes.

Actual Proof.
Here were the actual proofs of
what the banker and the other citi-
zens had told me. They were abso-
lutely right that in the beginning Mr..
Sigman had purchased 500 acres,
and that he was continually adding
to his holding. 1t is quite evident that
the cost Of the grounds must have
been a good deal more, as the above
figures are the assessed values only.
Here it is on black and white that
the assessed value is $24 ,492, and that
applied to the land only. That did
not take into consideration the i'm
provements, the numerous cottages,
the large dance hall, the skating rink
for 500 people, the shooting gallery,
the billiard room, the bowling alley,
the carousel, the loop-the-loop, the
restaurant, the bath houses and the
many other contraptions, too numer-
Gus to mention. Taken all in all, the
value of the entire Casino Amusement
Park is somewhere between 100000
and $150,000. And on this there is
only the one mortgage of $4,000, ac-
cording to Mr.. Schiller, the president
of the Citizens Bank.
A Fortune.
Again / have to come back to the
same question: where did it come
from? How is it possible for the
President of the International Ladies
Garment Workers Union to amass
such an enormous sum? Can it be
that all this could have been built up
on a "shoestring"
1t is a well known fact that if an
official of any union suddenly pur-
chases a home for himself, or enters
some large business, or engages in a
business venture on his own account,
it arouses suspicion in the minds of
his co-unionists, and he is in duty
bound to show from what sources he
was able to get his start, and allay
the suspicion of the members. Surely,
Mr.. Sigman, the president of the In
ternational Ladies' Garment Workers
Union, also owes that duty to the
members of his union, and to the la
boring mass at large.
