Mrs. Weber was kept busy visiting
with relatives and friends in that
community, and the party left on the
return trip through Huron, Brook
ings, and Mankato to Red Wing where
they rested and visited until Sunday
morning, when they returned to
Bruno. Upon her arrival home, Mrs.
Weber semed none the worse for her
strenuous trip which was further
evinced by the fact that in the after
noon of her arrival a party of rela-

two daughters accompanied by one of
the latters' husband dropped in for a
brief afternoon visit, and grandma
was the liveliest one of the party.

present trip, so that in later years
happenings during her life time may
be unfolded to relatives in her own
hand writing just as they happened
each succeeding day.

In the Sparrows Point plant of

weeks wage slashes, speed-up and
lay-offs were the order of the day.
About four weeks ago the tin mills
received 4 1-2 to 10 per cent wage
cut. Two weeks later these mills
were shut down completely, throw
ing over 5000 workers out of jobs,
Now another wage-cut has followed
in the sheet mill.
A new type of mill was intro
duced, which is more efficient" and
productive. The benefit" derived
by the workers from this "reor-
ganization" was % 1-2 per cent
cut in wages and a 200 per cent
increase in speed-up. Where a
worker produced under the old mill
10000 tons per day, today he has
to produce 100000 tons per day.
Workers Fight Back.
This wage-cut and speed-up was
met by the workers with resis .anee.
For several hours the power Of the
mill was shut off and the workers
refused to work under the new sys-
TEN. The police force of Sparrows
Point, which is on the payroll Of
Charlie Schwab, forced the workers
back to work.
