steel workers. Only the bosses in
the steel industry drew up the code.
Referring to the labor policy of
the steel slave code there are the
following statements.
For many years the members
of the Industry have and now are
prepared to deal directly with the
employees OF such members col
lectively on all matters relating
TO their employment. The princi-
pies of collective bargaining under
which certain members of the in
dustry have dealt with their en-
ployes are embodied in Employe
Representation Plans, which are
now in force at plants of members
of the Industry generally -.
"Since the beginning of the pre-
sent depression and the conse-
quent reduction in the total num-
Der of hours Of work available in
the industry, its members have
made every effort to distribute,
and with a remarkable degree of
success have distributed, the hours
of work available in their plants
so as to give employment to the
maximum number of employees"
What They Mean.
The significance of these two par
agraphs is that the steel companies
will continue their past policies un-
der the present slave code. They
say they have always given their
workers the right to organize and
bargain collectively and they will
receive the same rights in the fu-
ture.
A special schedule which is at
tached to the code, divides the
country into various steel divisions,
all of which are to come under a
maximum hour rate thigher than
the present one), and the following
minimum hourly wage rates are set:

Brainerd Bandits
Secure $4,000
Escape Swarm of State Police
On the State High
ways.

Brainerd Oct. 25-The five mac
kinawed bandits who raided the
First National Bank Of Brainerd,
fleeing with $4,000 in cash after
scattering the facade Of the bank
with machine gun bullets. appeared
to have made good their escape on
Monday night.
Although operatives Of the state
crime bureau roved the highways
leading into the Twin Cities, and
although local authorities all the
way along the line were on the
alert. no trace Of the men had been
seen. It was believed they were
heading for Minneapolis or st Paul.
The only clues came from a re-
port that the bandits had aban-
doned their big automobile near
Eden Valley, % miles from st.
Cloud, in favor Of another car. This
gave strength to the impression
that the bandits were making for
a hideout in or near the Twin Cit
les, but it failed to aid much In
their apprehension.

Drivers License Blanks
Are Available Shortly
Every Driver in State Will Be AZ
fected by Law Operative in
Year of 1884

Residents of Sank Centre and of
Stearns County will be able to OBJ
tan drivers license application
blanks from John Dominik, clerk of
district court, shortly after Nov. 1.
A supply of the blanks will be
mailed to Mr.. Dominik soon, &C
cording to an announcement by the
State Highway department. The
highway commissioner was desig-
mated by the 1888 legislature to ad-
minister the new drivers license

which go into effect in 1884. Each
clerk of district court in the state
was named by the legislature as
the agent for distributing license
applications in his county.
While automobile drivers will not
be required to show their licenses
until after next March 1, the high
way department is setting UP ma
chinery for issuing 100000 to l.
SOC, 900 licenses before that date.
Clerks of court will issue license
applications for IS cents each and
forward them to the highway de-
partment, which will send the Of
fetal license directly to the indi-
vidual. Ten cents of the 35-cent
fee goes to pay the clerks expense.
The licensing law was enacted to
give authorities the power to pro-
tect the public from dangerous and
irresponsible drivers on the high
ways. Revocation of the license is
provided in case Of certain serious
violations of laws.

He did not come to the house for

Mr.. Schuztenberge was shot on
the lower side of the upper right
arm, the charge of shot entering
the body just below the arm pit.

Sec. Wade Says
Loan is Helpful
Federal Home Loan Bank Favored
BY Building and Loan AssOcia-
lions of Minnesota

While some local building and
loan associations are frankly skep-
teal of the value of the Federal
Home Loan Bank System to such
organizations a checkup of these
groups about the state indicates a
generally favorable attitude
Mr.. Wade, secretary of the Fair
mont Association says he believes
the Federal Home Loan Bank will
be helpful, while the Winnebago as
ISOLATION does not feel that it will
be of much benefit. Associations in
such communities as Slayton ant
sufficient funds to care for local
financing needs as well as with
drawals as shares mature, and that
while larger associations will bene-
fit from the services of the bank
they have no need of utilization.
A majority of the associations,
however, have a very warm and
friendly attitude towards the bank,
and many of them have already
joined the system. The Lyon
County Building and Loan Associa-
ton says, 1.-The Federal Home Loan
Bank is very satisfactory as far as
our association is concerned" Mr..

S. G. to Play Foot
ball at Glenwood
Practice Game With Beaumont's
All Stars Shows Improved
Offense

The Sank Centre football team
with an even record in seven
games, journey to Glenwood Friday
evening to battle under the flood
lights for the first time in a district
game and the first time in that city
in Is years. In the last few years
Glenwood has boosted one of the
best teams in this section and this
years team is no exception. How
ever, last year Sank Centres green
squad had the distinction of giving
them the toughest battle in the dis
trict, and this year an even green
err team is planning on giving them
all they want in the way of a bat
tie. Belongs injured shoulder is
improving rapidly which will bolst-
er the defense and with the offense
clicking little better this week,
the fans are expecting to see good
ball game. Even though beaten
by Alex last week by 10 to 0, the
Main Streeters allowed no more
first downs to be scored against
them than Glenwood allowed to the
same team the previous week.
A large number of fans are plan
ming on making the trip to Glen
wood.
On last Tuesday, a team COM
posed of Alumni and graduate
school students engaged the High
School in an informal practice
game which proved beneficial to
both squads. It was an offensive
affair throughout, with both teams
advancing the ball twice within
scoring territories. The All Stars
managed to cash in on both their
chances while the High School
passed up both theirs on two cost
ly fumbles on the three-yard line.
The teams were evenly matched,
however, and presented an interest
ing game. The deception of the
High School proved hard for the
Old Heads, so called, to stop, and
the running of Butch Iwinski
proved DISASTROUS to the High
School. The High School was with
out the service of belong and Ar
Wig which might have stopped the
hard driving Iwinski. A couple of
Beaumont's trick plays were re-
ponsible for a few long gains which
placed the All Stars in a position
to score. Members of last years
team playing with the All Stars
were Huber, Schultz, Dubois,
Domke and Iwinski.

l.. Whitson
WillMove to
Mason City
Gamble-Robinson Co. Pro.
notes Him to Branch Man
agement of Business
LOSS TO SAUK CENTRE
Active Civically, Socially and
Religiously-High Type
Business Man

Sank Centre will lose one of its
most desirable citizens.
l.. w. Whitson, twice mayor OF
this city, a lad who grew to young
manhood and married in Sank Cen
ire; active in civic, social and
church life, has been promoted by
his company, the Gamble-Robinson
corporation, to the management OF
their large branch at Mason City,
Iowa.
The folks of this city have looked
upon Lynn as a permanent fixture.
They recognized his citizenship
qualifications; his family ties, and
his business activities.
They presumed, of course, tina:
conditions would remain normal.
It appears that Mr.. Whitson's
employers had different ideas.
They recognized his ability and
trustworthiness.
There was a vacancy in the man
agement of their branch at Mason
City.
Mr.. Whitson was selected for the
position.
This is fine promotion for Lynn
in a business way.
He accepted it, naturally.
Mr.. Whitson will leave Friday
for Mason City to take over his
new responsibilities. He will make
good, of course.
Mrs. Whitson will accompany him
to select a place to live. It is ex-
pected that the family~will move to
Mason City the early part of next
week.
Mr.. Whitson has been a resident
of this city for the past 35 years.
After graduating from the Sank
Centre High School he was, en-
ployed in a bank at Duluth for
seven years. He then returned to
this city to engage in the mercan-
tile business with his father, the
late John Whitson, and Frank
Myott, in the Golden Rule Store
now occupied by the National Tea
Co., and Barron's Golden Rule
Store.
After retiring from this business
Mr.. Whitson entered the employ OF
the E. P. Stacy & Sons, Mime
apolis, as travelling salesman. He
was instrumental in having the firm
erect a fruit house in this city, OF
which he became manager. Later
the business was sold to the Gam
BILE Robinson Co. For the past year
and one half Lynn has been trav-
cling salesman for the company.
Mr.. Whitson has been a fixture
in this city for so many years that
il is hard for the people to realize
their loss. He has been active as
a member of the Episcopal church
for many years; he was active in
the various Masonic bodies of the
city; under personal protest he was
elected Mayor of Sank Centre, and
served for four years. Mrs. Whit
son has been no less active in her
sphere, than has been her husband
The citizens generally are glad
of course, that the Gamble Robin
son Co., have recognized Lynn's
ability and have given him a de
served promotion.
Mr. and Mrs. Whitson have car
we'd their place in this community
Their departure will be keenly felt

Herb. Falk Gves Very Fine
Description of Eastern L. S.

way to New York which was found
ed in 1913. The island is full of his
toric spots. I attended Masonic
meeting last week, the officers all
wear evening clothes and the Wor-
shipful Master wears a silk hat. The
temple is a beautiful white colonial
type. Dutch colonial architecture
is quite common.
Next week I have to go to New
York for the southeastern meeting
of the State Teachers Association.
Mrs. Falk will go along and we will
stay over Sunday. It is certainly
convenient to be so near New York.
The weather here has been wonder
full, no frost as yet and the flower
gardens a perfect riot Of color. I
never saw so many nor such large
dahlias in my life. They are still
fishing out in the bay and out in
the ocean, but I am too busy to do
any myself. I have arranged to go
out deep sea fishing this coming
summer with the clerk Of the board,
who is interested in the fishing in
dustry. We will go out to sea in
one of the fishing boats and stay
over night. Hope don't get sea
sick.
The bay is full of ducks and the
season opens Nov. I, but doubt If
I'll get any time to do any hunt
ing this fall. Out here they call it
cunning. Here on the island they
also hunt quail, wood-cock and
rabbits. There are plenty Of deer
on the state preserves, but one is
only allowed to hunt them in up

A Very Little
Oppositionto
Bond Issue
Less Than 20 Per Cent of
Voters of City Use Suf-
frage Right
CONSIDER BIDS SOON
Construction Work Will Start
Before Dec. MANY I'm
employed Will Work

The question of the proper dispos-
al of the sewerage of this city has
confronted the City Council for sew
eral years.
The State Department of Health
had investigated the sanitary CON
ditions of the city on many occas
ions.
They have written many letters
to the Council suggesting that
changes be made to comply with
the regulations with the department
of health.
With a desire to save the tax
payers money the City Dads before
and up to the present Council
bluffed along and saved the city
money.
Within the past few months the
department of health have written
the Council that they were dissatis-
fed with the sanitary conditions in
Sank Centre, particularly as to the
| sewage disposal. The last letter re-
! ceived by the Council under date of
Sept. 6, insisted that prompt action
be taken.
The Council was confronted with
two propositions.
Winter was coming on.
There would be many families
who would be entitled to relief to
see them through the winter.
There were the unemployed;
there was the State Department of
, Health.
The City Council realized they
must comply with the health laws
of the state. They also realized
that there would be many families
the city would be called upon to
aid during the coming winter.
The practical conclusion the
Council arrived at was to build the
sewage disposal plant at once, CIV
ing needy heads of families employ
ment and meet the requirements of
the state.
| The Council visited many cities
having sewage disposal plants.
With the completion and compila-
ton Of their Investigations they de-
cided that the best interest of Sank
Centre would be conserved by call
ing mass meeting to discuss the
proposed bond issue of $4,000.
This meeting was held Thursday
evening of last week. In this city
with ], 400 voters less than 140 peo-
pie attended the mass meeting.
Speakers well qualified to discuss
the question went into every detail
of the hond issue
The election was held Monday.
In an ordinary city election when
two or three fellows are candidates
for election as members of the City
Council, more than 1000 voters will
cast their ballots.
At Mondays election there was an
expenditure of $4,000 as an issue.
What happened?
Less than 20 per cent of the vot-
ers used their right of suffrage. The
bonds carried by a majority of 200.
The only conclusion that can be
drawn from Mondays selection is
that the citizens generally have con-
fidence in the City Council.
The specifications for the sewage
disposal plant have been approved
by the State Department of Health.
Probably the Council will in the
Herald Of next week ask for bids
