CLEANERS WAGE
f.. WAR ON PRICES
Scale Boosted by Twenty
Plant Owners.

A price war among the citys 300
cleaning shops, smouldering since
steps to organize independent shop
owners into a union were begun,
fiared up again today with some of
the shops raising prices.
The newest phase of the price
war arose when group of clean
ing plant owners, operating a num-
Der of retail shops, raised rAail
prices, at the same time increasing
their wholesale price to independent
shop owners who do not own clean
ing plants, independents said.
Most of the plant-owning retail
ers increased retail prices from the
former rate of so cents to rs cents
for suits, cash and carry, and from
so to IS cents, delivered it was I'M
derstood.
Not all plant owners, however, in
creased prices, including those who
had not decreased their prices be-
low 81 during the price-cutting war.
No change in prices was made by
The ITO members of the new Retail
Cleaners g. Dyers union, according
to union officials. Union member
ship is limited to operators not
owning their plants.
The wholesale price hike, accord
ing to T. A. Robinson, union secre-
tary, was made to force the small
cleaners to increase prices and to
s'weaken the union"
Fortunately" he said, there are
enough wholesalers here sympa-
thetic with the aims of the union
who did not increase their prices to
us, that we were able to avoid an
increase in retail prices.
I'VE are waiting until we reach
our goal of ITS members before we
attempt to raise prices to fair
level" said Ralph C. Warley, an
official of the union.

The tension between Japanese
and Chinese forces in Shanghai in
the presence of overwhelming Chi
nese forces outside the city sadly re-
suited in a creScendo of riots and
atrocities, and Japanese went about
in terror of their lives.
It must be clearly understood
that there are two cities in Shang-
hal, the international settlement,
internationally governed, and the
Chinese municipality.
The international authorities, to
restore order and security, took the
concerted measures alluded to
above, and on Jan. 20 proclaimed a
state of siege.
Says Pact Was Violated
The Chinese city presented a
more difficult situation, but on
Jan. %, the mayor gave definite
assurances for the future to the
japanese consul-general which were
regarded as satisfactory.
1t was in the early hours of Jan.
% that, despite these assurances,
Japanese marines were without any
provocation attacked in force.
Strict instructions had been
issued to the Japanese authorities,
civil and military, to limit to a
minimum the necessary measures
of elf-defense, and cooperate with
the consular and naval authorities
of the other powers in all possible
ways for protection of important
interests of foreign residents in
Shanghai.
So that, if all parties interested
refrain from panic, there is every
prospect of the conflicts being To-
called and brought to a prompt
termination.
I am glad to have this opportun-
ity of making known the essential
and undeniable facts. The whole
problem presents enormous difficult
ties which demand for their solu-
ton forbearance and fairness
through comprehension of the basic
details by all concerned.
Calls Boycott Unfair.
The boycott continues universal
throughout Shina, enforced by ter
roristS and exercised by the party
in control, with the countenance
and tacit encouragement of the
government.
1t can not be called a spontane-
Gus, popular movement and Japan
feels it is contrary to cher treaty
on commerce which stipulates for
freedom of trade; and contrary also
to peaceful friendly relations. 1t
is driving thousands Of Japanese
out of business and out of China.
I am sure a candid examination
of the facts will convince any one
that in the Shanghai case her forces
could not have acted otherwise than
they did with ,ue regard to their
international duty.

MILKING PETER TO PAY PAUL
THE State NeWS)

Frank T. Heffelfinger, millionaire
chairman of the Governors UnemplOy-
ment Relief Committee. will, we hope.
be able to convince those blessed with
an over-abundance of worldly goods
that it is their duty to share, if only
in a small way, their prosperity with
their unfortunate and unemployed
neighbOr. We are inclined to believe
that this same hope was also run
ming through the Governors mind
when he arrived at his decision to
name Mr.. Heffelfinger to head his
state relief committee. Instead of ask
ing the rich and very rich to help the
man without a job, Mr.. Heffelfinger
may be inclined to shift the response
bility of caring for the unemployed to
the average fellow who has big job
in taking care of himself and his fam
lily in these times of economic depres-
sion.
1t seems hardly fair to ask the man
who has his hands full looking after
his own to look after his less fortu-
nate brother when there are hundreds
of Frank Heffelfingers in Minnesota
who could dig down just little with
out hurting themselves or without de-
nying themselves the necessities to
keep soul and body together. 1t might
be to the interest Of the Heffelfingers,
too, to keep up the courage and the
hope of the average American who
shudders at the very thought of the
consequences that might ultim ately
result from the selfish attitude often
taken by many of the very rich men
of this country who are disposed not
to give, but to take until it hurts.

sylvania has become wonderful deer
hunting state. This year hunters
were allowed to shoot one buck and
one doe. They were killed by the
thousands. When I went to Mime
sofa the deer were almost extermin-
ated in Pennsylvania. Keep on with
your propaganda for the one buck law.
After a while you will win.'
The latest reports from Pennsyl-
vania indicate that 94,772 deer were
killed in the state this fall and it is
estimated that the final figure will
reach 100000. This year more deer
were killed than usual because the
herd was so great that 1t was neces-
sary to reduce it and thus there was
killing of both male and female. The
game commission of Pennsylvania es-
Inmates that the number killed of
100000 is but 10 per cent of the herd
and that the number of deer remain
ing is so great that there will be just
as many next year as this.
When it is remembered that in
Pennsylvania the deer herd was prac-
tically exterminated in 1907 when but
200 animals of both sexes were killed,
the present result proves the wisdom
of a measure which Minnesota has
long considered. Prejudice will soon
be completely removed.

Readers and fellow citizens OF our

nothing more than our servants, we
pay them a salary to work for us to
make laws as the majority OF people
want them, but do they do 1t?

did as they wanted to instead OF
doing as you wanted them to even
though you had hired them for
certain length of time. Not long I'll
bet.

simply hire our crew for a certain
length of time and they stay their
time out whether they give satisfac-
ton or not.

1T WILL COME SOON

(Grand Rapids, Mimi, Herald-Review)
Minnesota will probably adopt the
one buck law at the next session of
the legislature.
There are a great many people who
wished to hunt this year when there
was a closed season. When the buck
law goes into effect in Minnesota
there will be hunting every year and
so many deer that we will not know
what to do with all of them.
The publisher of the Herald-Review
is in receipt of a letter from ]. M.
Stackhouse, formerly of Cohasset and
Grand Rapids who now lives at King
ston, Pa. There is not much fishing
in Pennsylvania as that country has
few lakes and Itasca's fishing is bet

Stackhouse. However, Pennsylvania
is ahead of Minnesota on the deer
question and the following encourag-
ing comment is received.

DOESN'T WANT GAME WARDENS

Editor Askov American:
| have been reading some very good
pieces in your paper it seems that
some of our farmer friends are being
awakened up little in regard to our
state Laws. Well, l am glad some
have the grit to print their thoughts.
r. w. PembletOn wrote about hav-
ing wild animals for pets. l agree
with him that if we farmers could
raise deer on our farms as pets or
our own personal property l assure
we would need no game wardens to
protect them. l would like to hear
if there is one man who is a farmer
depending wholly on what he raises
on his farm that has ever received
any benefit out of our present game
and fish laws. l came to Pine county
% years ago, and at that time l didn't
know of any game wardens, and l
honestly believe there was more game
and fish then than at the present time.
There is great many more deer
killed in one ten-day open season now
than there was in one whole year
then, but not by the farmers of any or
all parts of Minnesota. The biggest
part of them are taken by people who
have their living coming from some
cash job or other that they can get
vacation in at least once a year
with pay. How many farmers can do
that? Not only deer but prairie chick
ems, pheasants and all game birds
and fish go the same way they are
here and got them killed before we
farmers can get our milking done, or
at least got them scared away so they
won't have to hunt on our farms the
rest of the day. Now supposing we
could pass a law like this giving any
farmer who is a resident of the town.
ship in which he lives the right to
take any game animal, bird, or fish,
any time he wishes for his home use
but not to sell. No person from a
neighboring township allowed in an
other township to hunt or fish. With
such a game and fish law l don't be-
lieve we would have any use for
game warden as believe we farmers
would protect the game and fish in
our own township so it would last in
definitely.
