BETTER THAN LUMBER CAMPS
Duluth Herald)

The attack on President Roosevelt 5
plan for providing work in the woods
for two hundred and fifty thousand
unemployed men by President Green
of the American Federation of Labor,
on the ground that dollar day and
board is forcing down wage scales for
that kind of labor, has misled many
not familiar with the facts.
The truth is that if the government
pays a dollar a day, plus food. shelter
and medical attention, as has been
promised it will be a welcome in
crease in the wages that have been
paid for similar work during the last
year or two.
In the few private lumber camps
in Minnesota, Wisconsin and Michigan
able to operate, men have been work
ing all winter for from fifteen tC
twenty dollars a month and keep, anC
there have been dozens of applica
lions fer every job at that. A letter
in the Open Court from E. L. Eide
of Spooner, shows clearly what the
situation is i'm Northern Minnesota
He says that in his section men il
the camps were paid fifty cents da!

The Letter.

Agriculture in Minnesota is in a
very deplOrable situation, taxes un-
paid, schools closed for lack of funds,
mortgage foreclosures and evictions
(this has been stopped by our militant
governor to May first). Farmers with
out feed for their cattle in some parts
of the state and some small farmers
actually need charity or some kind OF
help Immediately.
Therefore we, the farmers and
members of the Pine county unit oil
the National Farmers Holiday Associ-
alton with a membership of about
twelve hundred have held meetings
i'm all parts of the county and genera
mass meetings April l and April 8

power for a speedy enactment of the
Frazier Bill into law, and also help tt
support any other measure that i;
pending or may be pending for the
benefit of Agriculture.

retreat and you'll enjoy one or
all of the the above delightful
pleasures. It wouldn't matter if you
came as a stranger; the camp is
democratic to a fault and would
j let you join in the fun. In fact, the
boys probably would meet you at
the gate and slip you hot foot"
that laughable little piece of
business of sticking (unnoticed, of
course a lightedd match in the
sole of your shoe-a gesture of
welcome.
They greeted us with open arms
yesterday. BY us I mean two car
loads of boxing writers brought up
in the Gardens sleek limousines.
The Tribune man was the first fell
low to be asked to join in the fun.
He hadn't bee there five min
utes before he was called to the
phone, and you should have heard
him laughing when he came away
from the booth with the whole side
of his face smeared with grease.
We sat down to the BEAUTIFULLY APP
polluted table when one of the writ
ers suggested we turn on the big
overhead fans.
Well. somebody turned them on
and what do you think happened?
The blades of the fans had been
covered half an inch thick with
sneeezing powder. You never
heard so much sneezing and laugh
ing and running in your life.
We finally were eating again
when six of the fellows down at
one end of the table started jump
ing and yelling like they'd been
shot. Somebody looked under the
table and there, down on his hands
and knees, was fellow going along
giving the old hot-foot. Everybody
like to have died laughing, to think
of six people getting the hot foot
at once.
We had started to eat again
when one of the walters stuck his
head in the door and yelled Don't
eat those eggs or drink that beerl"
Most of us were on our second egg,
at least, and our sixth or seventh
glass of beer 1t turned out there
was nothing wrong with the beer
or eggs, but it sure had ur wor-
ried for awhile. One fellow got
sick thinking about what he might
have in him.
We're going up there again next
week and we've got the cutest lit

Dollar wheat became a reality to-

the opening deals at $1.02 a

Reports of drought wreaking

The increased prices means mil

Today's prices show an increase

Corn and oats also jumped in
