Union Movement Gains Under
 New Deal
By RODNEY BUTCHER Waterbury Democrat Washington

 washingtcn.-The American ela- bor movement, crippled by the de- precision, has suddenly become Q potentially powerful force.
 It has gained great new strength through the National Recovery Act and through official actioA and policies compelled both by the act and the logic of events. tt
 Whether labor's leaders are competent to take advantage of their guaranteed opportunities for collective bargaining and union organization remains to be seen.
 But numerous tangible im- provements in labor's status since 1t was formally admitted as e partner" with government and industry--offer an amazing con- trast with It's position last spring, after years of wage cuts and mounting unem 2loyment.
 Establishment of Q National Labor Board so settle indus trial disputes means that Uncle Sam will see to 1t that labor re- ceives the collective bargaining rights guaranteed by the act.
 When employers refuse to bar gain with employees, the latter can bargain before the board. Hard boiled corporations can't inter- fere with union organization or force employees into controlled company unions.
 Already, in ending several strikes, the board has established collective bargaining under It's own supervision, Secret elections are held under authority of MIRA, whose representatives can watch to see that there is no intimida- ton.
 Summary of Gains
 Here is Q summary showing some of labor's other gains:
 The act was based on one of labor's cherished theories - that the first requisite to prosperity Is purchasing power, which must be maintained by adequate wages and full employment. Labor for years had urged the shorter working week, which became 0 vital part of the new national plan.
 1Ho NItA setuV plaCou Out~ standing labor leaders on a Labor Advisory Board-on 0 par with an industrial board - and gave them voice In the final integra- ton of all industry's codes of fair competition.
 Labor has partly put its own house in order since 1t was com. pelled to present a united front here. NRA machinery enabled 1t to settle the 20.year jurisdic- tionaI fight between the Amalga. mated Clothing Workers and the United Garment Workers - an event of great significance. The American Federation of Labor was crowded into reversing its policy against the dual union.
 Several NRA codes have the names of unions written into them and some provide that whatever collective bargaining agreement Is arrived at shall be considered part of the code. Some code authorities governing boards on code matters-inciude union men who cnn look at the books of the employers and check up on their reports.

Workers Win Right Of Collective
 Bargaining

labor dispute where the industry wasn't under q code, mediated | the Pennsylvania coal strike. Coal companies were made to ac- cept the miners demand for their own check weighmen and to. agree to submit disputes to a federal board.
 s'Shop Committees" Formed An amendment to the cotton textile code, the principle of which is applicable to other codes, sets up machinery for collective bargaining in each factory, with provisions for appeal to state and national boards.
 Labor leaders think this vir- tually opens the door for union organization in each plant. The "shop committee" system of deal- ing with management may now be established in any unorsanized
 Although the A. F. of L. has been criticized for failure to make an energetic organization drive, there have been some real gains in union membership.
 President John l.. Lewis of the United Mine Workers, who began an early, vigorous campaign, claims around 300,000 new mem- bers. The Amalgamated Cloth ing Workers have organized more than 30,000 new members since the act went into effect.
 The A. F. of L. has issued 200 new charters and has been will-' ing to organize industrial unions as well as trade or craft unions.
 Labor consciousness has also been awakened, as demonstrated by @ series of strikes which us- ually have involved the issue of union recognition.
 Problems Lie Ahead
 The movement Is still weak nu- merically in organized strength and has none too many able lead CTS.
 The steel, bituminous coal. automobile and other morgan ized or semi-organized industries will fight the unions as much as they dare. Code-making is in the hands of the industries and sym pathetic deputy administrators. Many disputes seem certain in cases where the wages above the minimum schedules are not raised.
 Rising prices may offset increas- es in low wages and leave many more highly paid workers worse off than they were before. Some labor experts fear that the unions may be brought under a degree of federal control which will re- strict their freedom of action.

Their report was that drouth condi-
lions were in no wise exaggerated and
that relief should be given without
delay.
State Treasurer Schmahl, who has
given much time and labor to this
particular relief, has his home ad-
dress at Redwood Falls where the
Schmahl family settled in 1870. Speak
ing reminiscently, Mr.. Schmahl re-
calls with interest the early settlers
men, women and children passing
through the then little village of Red
wood Falls, with not more than 100
inhabitants, in covered wagons on
their way up the Minnesota River to
their new homes, sod houses and
shanites, and by their efforts building
up one of the richest sections of the
state.
"They passed Redwood Falls with
little money in their pockets" said Mr..
Schmahl. "They made money by hard
work, have never asked for relief and
never would have had it not been for
the present depression and the i'm
mense feed losses caused by the late
drouth."
Under the terms of the law govern
ing the activities of the state execut-
i've council, extraordinary expendit-
ures are limited to $750,000 for any
one calamity or project. In granting
relief to the counties affected, indiv'
iduals feed aid was fixed at 500 pei
farmer, with applications running il
excess of the amount appropriated.

Dentists Plan Survey
of Children's Teeth

Redwood county dentists laid plans
at a meeting at Wabasso November
1, to cooperate with the public
health service department at Wash
ington and the American Dental asso-
citation in a nationwide check-up on
the condition of school children's
teeth.
Each dentist has been assigned GER
tain rural schools and town schools
which he is now visiting to examine
the teeth of each student. Blanks
furnished by the government will be
filled out and returned to Washington
where statistics on dental conditions
are being compiled.
The state has been divided into dis
tricts and the district organization ex-
tends to counties where the task is
actually taken up. DR.. c. L. Lynn OF
Redwood Falls is county chairman.
Dentists who will take part in the
survey are: Drs. Lynn, j. w. 1nglis,
]. C. Budik and E. H. Johnson OF
Redwood Falls; T. w. Prail, Walnut
Grove; C. H. Boelke, Sanborn; w. w.

Boy Scout Campaign
Starts November 20

The Boys Scouts of American have
adopted a ten year program of
growth which briefly stated, is pro-
gram for reaching at least one of
four 12-year-old boys and to so i'm
prove the quality of scouting as to
hold their interest for at least four
year period Of active scout training
to the end that it may ultimately be
insured that one of every four new
male citizens shall be az four-year
trained scout. rs 50
"This," states our Scoutmasters, j.
L. Parsons and E. A johnson, "will
insure more participating citizens,
less violation of law, and more unset
fish service for others. To us, it is
inspiring to realize that 81 each and
every citizen in our community has
an opportunity to help US make de-
finite contribution for the improve
ment of society. Scouting means a
better community, better state, and
better nation" 70
Our community is part of the
Minnesota Valley council and the
Fort Ridgley district. We are taking
part in the annual finance campaign
of the council which is to be conduct
ed November 27 for the, year 1884.
You will be solicited as a contribut-
ing member of the Boy Scouts OF

was reported that other towns also
were asked to join the movement.
Albert Nelson of Belview, head of the
Redwood county holiday group, was
with the party at Vesta.s
Many rumors were current in the
city Wednesday, including one that
the Kolbet creamery was closed. This
report was untrue, however, and Of
fcials of the firm said they had not
been asked to close.
Elevators also were expecting a
visit. They reported grain receipts
have fallen off. Apparently the strike
was quite effective in stopping ship
ments of all except perishable pro-
ducts.
Farther north and west the strike
was reported to be in full force with
organizers working in this direction.
Farmers interviewed on the subject
here Wednesday expressed various
opinions of the strike, some favoring
it and some opposed. Redwood Falls
firms buying produce probably will
comply if large share of local
farmers join the strike.

STATE DRYS FORM
new ORGANIZATION
Allied Group ReOrganizes for
Liquor Fight in Every
Precinct

Conceding the country has turned
against prohibition as a method OF
liquor control, state drys concluded a
two-day session at Wesley Temple,
Minneapolis, Tuesday with completion
of an organization that is to reach
down into every precinct and fight the
vets politically as well as in an edu-
cational way.
The organization, while not new,
is newly organized. 1t will be called
the Minnesota Allied Drys. It will
have state headquarters in Minnea-
polls with a paid director and staff
and its objective will be a militant
dry organization in each of the states
81 counties. 1t is understood that
Herbert H. Parish, associated with
the Methodist church conference, will
head the new state movement as di-
rector.
The organization was not complet-
ed without threatened clash be-
tween the new organization and the
Antisaloon league, the controversy
having to do with the wisdom Of two
dry organizations in the state. Rev.
James A. Geer, pastor of the Meth
odist church at Excelsior, led an eff
fort to unite the dry forces of the
state into one organization but the
conference voted to go ahead to or
ganize the Allied Drys with the un-
derstanding that the Antisaloon lea
que is to continue its work with the
churches and Allied Drys to stick to
the field of local organization.
The conference adopted resolutions
asking Governor Floyd B. Olson not
to call special session of the legis-
lature for the purpose of repeating
the states prohibition law; pledging
support of local and county option in
the event of state repeal; demanding
prohibition of all liquor advertising;
opposing any liquor control plan that
puts the state into the liquor business
and urging compulsory teaching in
the public schools of the effects of
liquor consumption on the human
system.
T. H. Colwell, Minneapolis, was
elected president of the organization.
DR.. G. ]. Stark, pastor of Emanuel
Lutheran church, Minneapolis, was
elected vice president; Charles Deni-
son, Minneapolis, treasurer and Ros-
coe C. Coffin, st. Paul, secretary.

ST. PAUL HUNTERS
CHARGES "ABSURD"
WARDENS DECLARE

Game Wardens o. P. Lofquist and
D. P. Brady expressed confidence here
this week that they were in the right
in searching cars on highways
A and IA in Redwood Falls October 20
in search of game law violators and in
the same breath denied much of the
report of the suit brought against the
state as result of their activities as
it appeared in Twin Cities newspap-
ers.
They are certain that ono valuable
hunting dogs were lost in the search"
as claimed. They say the three men
who are bringing a suit for $1,000
damages each had no dogs in their
car. The contention of the wardens
is supported by the fact that there is
no mention of dogs in the complaints
which were served on the wardens
Thursday by Sheriff L. J. Kise. The
wardens deny that any valuable pap
ers were strewed about.
Furthermore, the wardens say, the
hunters who are bringing the suit
were not placed behind bars. Accord
ing to the wardens, they were only
taken to the Jail office where they de-
cided to submit to having their car
searched. The, number Of pheasants
they had in possession was within the
legal limit and they were released af-
ter the examination.
The plaintiffs in the action are Will
liam J. North, his son, Thomas H.
North and DR.. Edmund Miller, all of
St. Paul. Their complaint charges
false arrest, illegal Imprisonment and
search of their automobile and lug
gage without a search warrant.
Wardens Lofquist and Brady feel the
action is absurd. Hundreds of spec
tators can testify that the inspection
of cars was made courteously and
with as much dispatch as possible,
they said.

TAX LEVY REDUCED
S675 IN REDWOOD;
WESLEY APPOINTED
School to Receive One Half of
One Mill Band Tax for
Music Instructor

The Redwood Falls tax levy for
1888 will be $23,925, decrease OF
$675 over 1882, plus the one mill band
tax, it was decided at the regular
meeting of the city council Monday
night.
This years decrease does not seem
large in comparison with other cuts,
council members pointed out, but over
a period of several years the reduc-
til in has been more than 20 per cent.
In 1880 the levy was $4,000. The
bulk of the saving this year will be
in interest charges on bonds.
School district number one will re-
csive one-half of the one mill band
tax money, which totals about $500,
for the maintenance Of a school in
structor in music. The amount in
other years has been definitely fixed
by the council.
The council instructed DR.. C. Cher
ry, dairy inspector to require all per-
sons subject to the state hotel and
restaurant license to obtain a city
milk license. They must be filed with
F. B. Forbes, city recorder, by No
vember IA. The decision followed an
opinion by Leon H. Brown, city attor-
ney.
A recommendation was made to
Thomas F. Reed, municipal judge, to
hereafter hold all municipal court
cases in the city hall instead of in his
Offices.
Rev. w. Henry Westby, pastor of
the English Lutheran churcn, was ap-
pointed by Mayor H. D. Thorp and
approved by the council for the posi-
ton on the library board caused by
the resignation of DR.. j. w. Inglis.
The application of Mrs. Frank
Gerstmann to have the valuation of
the property adjoining the Lincoln
school reduced from $4,000 to $4,000
was sent to the board of county COM
missioners with the recommendation
that the application be denied.
Council members voted to purchase
several lots in Watson's fourth addi-
tion at the absolute tax sale for park
purposes. The lots are located up
stream from Little Falls along the
river bank. They have been tax de-
hnquent for nearly 80 years.

Hunters Have Skunk,
Testify Dog Got It

A touch of humor occurred in the
municipal court pheasant violation
proceedings Tuesday last week when
Edgar Daw, Morton Indian and his
Interpreter explained hunting trip
and the capture of a live skunk.
Daw and Bluestone were hunting
with only one license and had some
pheasants and skunk in cream can
when they were arrested by a game
warden.
Officials were attempting to find
out to whom the license belonged and
who captured the birds and the skunk.
"Who got the skunk" Judge Reed
asked SinClaire, the Interpreter. He
leaned over to Daw and they talked in
their native Dakota tongue.
"The dog" was the reply.

WARNING ISSUED
TO DEER HUNTERS
Short Season Prompts Hunters
Caution in Deer Search;
C. C.. C. Camps Warned

Added caution will be necessary on
the part of deer hutners who take to
the woods in nine northern Minnesota
counties during the five day open sea-
son this month. The increased peril
that will exist during the short sea-
son is due to two reasons. First, be-
cause of the curtailed season, hunt
ers will be concentrated which which
will bring added menace to the hunt
ers. Secondly, several Emergency
Work camps are located in the open
territory with hundreds of workers in
the woods.
Modern high-powered rifles carry
for miles, w. D. Stewart, Game and
Fish Director, points out. Hunters
should exercise special care in deter
mining that their bullets will not car
ny into country outside their range of
vision. Promiscuous shooting should
be banned altogether, more SO tf/j
season than in years past" he contin-
ued.
Grover Comet, director of the Di-
vision Of Forestry and Fire Proven
ton, has issued warning to Emer-
gency Conservation workers. Mr..
Comet offers several suggestions that
may be used to assist in eliminating
accidents. He states that "it is most
important that the greatest care be
taken that no accidents occur to any
of the men working in the camps and
all deer hunters should be doubly
careful in the matter of handling and
using firearms in localities where
camps are located or work is being
DONE"

HUNTERS TOOK BREASTS
LEFT REST OF PHEASANT

"Hundreds are caught each year
for illegally taking pheasants but the
most despicable piece of unsports-
manship that has come to our atten-
ton is the taking of the breasts and
few of the legs of more than 30
pheasants and leaving the rest of the
bird to rot" says the Lamberton
News. The carcasses were discovered
the first of the week near the culvert
lust east of the Catholic cemetery"

ciety, are guests today Of Col.
Claude E. Brigham, Chemical
Warfare Section, commanding
the Edgewood Arsenal.
Weather permitting, the for
eign and American guests at the
arsenal will be shown a demon
stration of chemical warfare
material on San Domingo Farm.
The special feature will be the
laying down of a new type smoke
screen, it is said, one that has
never been demonstrated in pub
lie before. 1t was perfected at
the maneuvers in Hawaii.
One of the interesting side
lights on the trip to Edgewood
Arsenal today, a fact that drew
comment from some of the scien-
fists, is that the foreign visitors
must be registered and vouched
for.
