An error made by the Gazette force
ten years ago is responsible for this
story. Here is how it came about:
ten years ago Alex Miller, editor of

talk here. The Gazette reported the
event but called Mr.. Miller the
editor of the Cedar Rapids "Repub-

No libel suits followed and appar-
emily there was no demand for a re-

the item and sent it to Mrs. Miller,
who is secretary Of state in Iowa and

applicants, all needy, worthy and
loyal, they say.
She also finds gossips and whisper

one foot in the grave" for instance,
although She is really fit and declares
"53 will do as an estimate of my

Part of her political strategy she

Mrs. Miller is reticent about an

High Teams to Meet
Tracy Friday Night;
Cards Beat New Ulm

Another non-conference game faces
the Cardinals Friday night when
Tracy comes here for a battle on the
Lincoln floor. So far this season the
Redwood High team has won four
straight conference tits but lost it's
only other outside game to Marshall.
The Junior High school team will
play preliminary game with the
Tracy Juniors. Last week the senior
team won handily at New Ulm, %
to Is, to remain in a tie for first
place IN District ten standings.
Only once during the game did the
New Ulm team stage a rally that
brought the score within winning dis
lance. The Cardinals started off the
game with five point lead before
the New Ulm quint started clicking
and tied the score.
The tie didn't remain long. Byram
made four successive field goals to
take the honors for that quarter
while the opponents were held score
less. More points were made by the
Redwood team in the second quarter
to bring the score to 18 to 6 at half
time.
Byram held scoring honors for the
Red and White team with II points
although Inglis was close on his heels
with seven. Byram scored five field
goals and one free throw while Inglis
gathered two field goals and three
free throws.
Kise scored two field goals, Smith
one field goal, Wally Whiting, one
and Lauterbach and Harold Farver,
one free threw.
The team was slightly shaken up in
the starting lineup. Byram started
at center, Lauterbach and Inglis at
forwards and Kise and Smith at
guards.
Ralph Tenney, the freshman flash
who has been doing most of the scor-
ing for the Junior High team was
taken along on the trip and saw some
service in the game from a forward
position.

I. O. Ford at Akron Meet
Metal Union Organizes
Machine Shop Workers
to Defeat Pay Cut

NEW YORK.-Defeating a wage
cut for the second time since Aug
ust, the workers of the johnson
Machine Works compelled the COM
pany to pay them full wages, after
hours of work had been cut from
45 to 40 week under the N. r. A.
Last August the company decided
to reduce hours and tried to cut 5
hours a week for 45 hours pay.
This time however when the an
nouncement of shorter hour week
was made, the workers organized
by the Steel and Metal Workers
Industrial Union refused to accept
any condition but 40 hour week
with as hours pay.
Practically all the Johnson work
ers are members Of the Steel and
Metal Workers Industrial Union.
This victory won by the workers
of the johnson shop will provide
the wedge for the Union to spread
its organization activity to the
machine shop section of the metal
industry, the Industrial Union de-
clared today.

MIRA. Helps Bosses
Dodge Meet, Aim to
Smash Silk Strike
Washington Bureaul

WASHINGTON, Nov. lon the
basis Of an average wage Of $25 for
weavers-with no guarantee on the
minimum pay or on loomage-the
National Labor Board is preparing to
settle" the big broadsilk strike in
New Jersey and New England on
Thursday.
Chairman Wagner announced this
Tuesday after union representatives
waited all day for a hearing which
never got down to business because
many manufacturers failed to appear.
This policy of Summoning already
strike-Worn workers to Washington
for proceedings from which manufac-
turers defiantly absent themselves,
and of finally presenting final deci-
sions" which the workers are ex-
pected to accept even though they do
not meet expressed worker demands
is an old story in the National Labor
Board.
Members Of the United National
Strike Committee we're highly dubi-
Gus as to whether the textile strikers
would accept the proposal Frank
Zimmerman, Of the committee, said;
eve have stated repeatedly that
we must have definite proposal on
Tonnage to prevent intolerable
stretch-out We want definite offer
on yardage prices-all worker repre-
sentatives have so informed the
Board again and again.
"The Board has held these hear
ingS in Washington so that if we
! come-although we are not expressly
invited-We must bear the heavy ex-
pense. And we get here and nothing
happens. Today they called roll of
81 manufacturers invited, and only
two answered present, although there
were a few other manufacturers pres
ent."
Wagner insisted that "the manu-
faHturers were represented"
"They are willing to pay the SIS
average if we can assure them that
southern competitors will pay s21 and
other northern and eastern manufac-
turers will pay $40 week."
Have you been able to give them
that aSsurance?"
mo" he said, but added they ex-
pect to do it, and will render final
decision on Thursday.
How about the tonnage agreement
the workers demand?"
No, there1l be no agreement.
We're having enough trouble now"
Someone asked how the assurance
could be given without re-opening the
silk code-another worker demand
yet unanSWered-and raising the
minimum scales. Wagner replied this
would have to be done "or else we'll
have to establish a set dlfferential,"
