RALLIES

HIGH POINT, N. c., July 20
IIN.SO One of the most un
usual economic and social out
bursts in industry was simmering
today-and nobody would def
nitely predict what its tempera.
ture would be by nightfall.
More than $4,000 workers in
five North Carolina mill cities and
towns had stopped work in $50
manufacturing plants, mostly tex
tile and furniture, following a
spontaneous and psychological
mass exit of employees in a few
hosiery factories here and a larger
number of unaffected workers in
textile and furniture plants.
The situation, attributed to fur
ther wage reductions by certain
High Point textile mills, was com
plicated by the activities of from
1000 to 5000 unemployed in the
area, who joined the more or less
orderly demonstrations.
Force Plants to Close
Marching bands Of the original
strikers, bulwarked by unem-
ployed, delcended upon neighbor'
ing towns and caused the closing
down of plants.
With not wheel turning in this
city, the SO policemen in the local
department we're reinforced by
officers from nearby cities.

High Point, frankly admitted that
he did not know what the stu.

Farmers Union Will
Convene at Granite
Instead of Redwood

The Farmers Union which re-
Gently asked to hold its state con-
vention in Redwood Falls informed
Walter Lamberton, secretary of the
Commercial club Tuesday that delay
in answering its request made it
necessary to schedule the convention
at Granite Falls.
The state president and secretary
of the organization were in Redwood
Falls recently and after looking over
the city, stated that if they could
use the armory for two days, the
state convention would be held here.
About $500 farmers were expected.
After civic committees secured a re-
port on recent conventions of the or
ganization held at Montevideo, it was
decided to urge the organization to
come here. Walter Lamberton, secre
tary of the Commercial club telephon-
ed Carl Lundbergh of Ivanhoe, secre-
tary, and told him of the action.
Lundbergh called back later and said
the group had changed its mind and
would go to Granite Falls instead.

NORMAL RECEIPTS
AS STRIKE STARTS
E. T. Ebbesen Calls Organiza-
ton Meeting at MilrOy
Monday Night
EXPECT STATE PRESIDENT
Wednesday Was First Day of
General Strike Called
in IL States

Although a general selling strike
on non-perishable farm produce was
scheduled to start in II states We'd
nesday, Redwood county Farmers
Holiday members marked time this
week awaiting another mass meeting
at Milroy Monday at 8 p. m.
Elevators in Redwood Falls and
North Redwood reported no lapse in
the marketing of grain Wednesday.
One manager reported unusually
heavy receipts Tuesday and continu-
ing Wednesday which he attributed
to desire to get money before the
strike starts. Others reported re-
ceipts Wednesday comparable with
any other day since the end of the
threshing season.
Most farmers are keeping grain
from the market as much as possible
anyway, selling only when necessary
to meet obligations Or pay operat-
ing expenses, they stated.
Meanwhile E. T. Ebbesen, Revere
business man, called another mass
meeting for the purpose of further
organizing" his notice stated. John
H. Bosch of Atwater, president of
the state organization, will attend
the meeting with other officers, he
stated.
Mr.. Ebbesen reported a rush of
both business men and farmers to
join the demand for "cost of produc-
ton" and declared he hopes to see
5000 persons at the Milroy conclave.
At other points about the state it
was too early Wednesday to predict
the response to the order to strike.
South St. Paul reported usual live
stock receipts although most of this
stock was loaded Tuesday in a rush
to get it to market before the ban.
At Worthington picketing has been
in progress all week and farmers
have effectively kept stock and grain
from reaching the market there. Sur
rounding markets benefited accord
ingly while state officers of the Holt
day movement ruled against picket
ing except as last resort and ask
ed Worthington picketers to disband.

a Visit to Canada for Consolation

on small farms here can manage
with much smaller investment.
"There are more men out of work
there in proportion than here and
yet retail prices are almost twice as
high" he stated. Gasoline costs as
high as 80 cents per gallon while oil,
tires and other materials are equally
high"
1t is estimated that approximately
one-half of the population in the
southern part of Saskatchewan re-
ceived aid from relief workers last
winter and one-third of the entire
province is expected to be on the
poor lists this winter.
In Mr.. Clague's years as congress-
man from the second district, he
has made several trips with commit
tees through parts of Canada but
has never seen the country in such
hard circumstances.

COUNTY PAID $3.50
TO FIND $40 WAS
CARELESSLY SPENT
Bill Includes Transportation
Item of $27.95; Four Men
Employed Five Days

Redwood county commissioners
who were irked last week by COM
plants of the state examiner con-
corning spats, neckties and cigarets
bought for the county poor, are not
overjoyed with a statement received
from the state for the service.
Commissioners g IN raj y admit
that about $40 of county money was
"carelessly" spent. They now find it
cost the county $283.9O to secure the
audit which revealed this informa-
ton.
Two state auditors j. T. Langlais
and j. L. Meader, charged five and
one-haf days time to the county
while r. o. Anderson and A. E. Rich
drew pay for five days. Mr.. Lang
lais drew $40 per day, Mr.. Anderson
SO, Mr.. Meader, $3.50 and Mr.. Rich,
$3.50.
They came to Redwood Falls, a
distance of 125 miles from st. Paul,
by car for which the county paid
$27.95 as transportation. Mr.. Lang
lais drew $17.95 for meals and lodg-
ing, Mr.. Anderson, $14.70; Mr.. Mead
er, $18.15 and Mr.. Rich, $16.4O. In
addition the county was charged 500
for having the report typewriter.
Under a new state law, counties
must stand the expense of audits
formerly borne by the state. This is
the first audit here since the law
went into effect.
The money "carelessly" spent by
the poor was earned on the county
woodlot. Most merchants here report
strict supervision of the spending of
orders issued in payment for work
done by the county. A new plan will
allow only a small amount per week
to woodchoppers, depending upon the
size of the family. Previously the
choppers were paid by the cord.

BUS COMPANY MAY
IMPROVE SERVICE
THROUGH REDWOOD
Representative COnfers With
Hotel Promoters; May
Speed Application
NEW CONNECTION WANTED
Hotel Plans Progress, Mueller
States; Cites History
of LeSSeeS

Steps preparatory to applying to
the state railroad and warehouse
commission for permission to i'm
prove bus service through Redwood
Falls, were made here this week by
a representative of the Northland
Greyhound line.
According to the representative,
Mr.. Ball of Minneapolis, his company
contemplates changes in the schedule
of buses from the Twin Cities and
Marshall and the supplying of con-
nection between Winthrop and a
coast to coast line through New Ulm
and Mankato.
While in the city, Mr.. Ball confer
red with business men relative to the
change and with H. M. Mueller,
architect and promoter of the new
hotel, construction of which may
start late this month.
Mr.. Ball stated that improved
services has been urged both here and
at other points along the line. Re-
ports are indefinite as to whether
spur line is contemplated or north
and south bus may be re-routed to
supply the connection.
The hotel project, Mr.. Mueller
stated Wednesday, hurried the nego-
tiations for better bus service and
may also lead to better telegraph
facilities for the city.
Mr.. Mueller, who last week an
nounced that Field-Martin Company
of Minneapolis will lease the new
hotel upon it's completion, this week
reported satisfactory progress with
the final arrangements.
Leasing the new hotel to the Field
Martin firm would indentify one OF
the Oldest firms in the northwest
with business in Redwood Falls.
John H. Field, who is still active IN
the company, started business IN
Minneapolis over SO years ago.
He was among the eight subscrlb-
ers with which the first telephone
company started business in Mime
apolis. Associated with Mr.. Field
are his two sons E. T. and c. 0. and
A. M. Martin. The company has
specialized in large buildings and
pioneered many improvements, not
ably winter construction in this Gil
mate, according to Mr.. Mueller.
The company has built some OF the
best known hotels in the state and
through a subsidiary, the Field In
vestment Company, has assisted IN
their financing, the Lakeland at Will
mar is one of these. They built the
Field Hotel in Minneapolis and pur-
chased the Normandy. At the pres
ent time they are operating about
two hundred fifty rooms.
Several years ago they decided to
expand their operations into well
selected country points. E. T. Field
SAYS eve have unlimited confidence
in the future of well located county
seat towns. We have examined
number of points in Minnesota this
year where we have been offered
hotel leases. Out of this group we
have selected Redwood Falls as the
most logical point and have offered
to lease the hotel here"
