GUARD NOT STRIKE BREAKERS
(Mille Laos County Times)

(Mllle Laos county IlmeS)
Gov. Floyd B. Olson does not intend
that the national guard shall be used
by employers as strike breakers. He
proposes that they will be used to
maintain order, but not to force work
ing men and women back into eco
nomic slavery. This is a case where
human rights take precedence over
property rights.
The old theory that private owner
ship permits anybody to use such own
ership for the purpose of grinding
down the opportunities of others to
make a living is definitely out. The
first consideration must be the welfare
of the people of the nation. The right
to decent wage and decent working
and living conditions is beginning to
be recognized as fundamental Pri-
vate ownership that will not permit
this has no right to exist.
The general objection made to the
organizing of the national guard in
this country has been that it is fire.
quently used for the purpose of break
ing strikes, and on the side of en-
ployers. This is not being done in
Minnesota under Governor Olson. The
guard is used to maintain law and or
der. and to keep violence from flaring
up as it did recently where men were
shot in the back by police with sawed
off shotguns. 1t will also see that the
people of Minnesota will not suffer
for the necessities of life, all trucking
being done under a system Of permits.
The governors action in declaring
martial law in Minneapolis was made
necessary by the action of the employ
ers in refusing to agree to the terms
for settling the strike submitted by
the mediators of the national labor
board sent from Washington. The la
Dor unions promptly accepted the
terms but the employers began to
bubble and ended in refusing to agree
to the settlement of the strike. The
responsibility for the present situa-
ton rests on the employers.

OPPOSITION IS HEALTHY

Criticism is a good thing if not car
ried too far, but of course it must be
constructive criticism. The tearing
down type does no good. Most of us
would rather be complimented than
to be corrected for it is more pleas
ant. but criticism will likely do us
more good.
Speaking about the need for oppo-
sition to the political party in power
and the need for keeping up the
strength of the minority party, L. G..
Hodgson Oarry Ho) of st. Paul, said:
'The entire virtue of this nation
is not in the custody of any political
party. To castigate the opposing
party as being made up of morons
and crooks is to sever our connec-
tions with sanity"
Along the same line of thought The
Capitol Times of Madison, Wis, wrote
editorially.
However ridiculous the rantings Of
Chairman Fletcher of the Republican
national committee, Jim Watson, and
other spokesman for the Old Guard
Republican crowd, they represent the
awakening of an opposition which will
not be without it's benefits in the
American political scene.
students of public affairs will
readily agree that opposition and
rivalry in government makes for good
government In Wisconsin govern
ment has been kept clean because
through the years Progressives and
Conservatives waged a constant war
against each other and every mistake
and slip up was sure to get an airing.
eff one political party sweeps all
before it in either national or state
politics, NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. and gov
ernmental abuses often follow. How
different the history of the 30 years
previous to 1892 when the Republican
party was supreme in Wisconsin but
sharply divided between the Progress
sive and Conservative factions from
the record in other Republican states
like Pennsylvania, Illinois, and In
diana where single Republican ma
chine held control.

THE "KLACk I.lST'

To be 'black-listed" is anything but
desirable, but comes about by the
abuse of the drink habit-the fault OF
the person himself who is the of
fender. Old timers will remember
that term used back in the days of the
SalCCn befI re national prohibition

seems that down in Hudson, Wis,
where some folks have imbibed too
freely. they are taking it up, probab-
ly the first municipality in the North
west to adopt it.
The weekly newspaper at Hudson,
the Star-Observer, explains the black

GOVERNMENT STIMULATION

Some folks seem to be afraid that
the national government is spending
too much money for recovery and re-
lief. but it is a small part of the
loss in national income due to the de-
preston.
If by spending some money (and it
is not foreign money either) the gov
eminent can advance the day of
prosperity when folks will have jobs
again and there will be more content
ment and happiness, it will be money
well spent.
During the past II months or since
President Roosevelt took office on
March 4, 1888, it is estimated on the
basis of treasury figures that the fed
eral government has spent total Of
$3.50. 100000. and taken in a total
of $4,000. 100000 in taxes, customs,
war debts and other income. On this
basis the government has spent S4,-
750.000,000 more than it earned since
President Roosevelt took office. More
than half of the $3.50, 100000 ex-
penditures were believed to have gone
for recovery and relief purposes.
The approximately five billion dol
lars spent for recovery and relief pur-
poses in the II months of the Roose-
welt administration is no small
amount, but inaSmuch as the old sys-
tenn of rugged individualism was not
functioning for the masses it became
necessary to make those expenditures.
There are still millions without work
and the wheels of industry must be
put in motion somehow. A do-not hing
policy will not bring relief. The tax
to pay for the relief is a smaller item
when we have prosperity. and it can
be brought about by better distri-
button of wealth.
Folks generally are eagerly await
ing the day when they can secure
enough for the products they have
to sell to insure a comfortable living
and to be able to meet their Obliga-
tions, and the working classes want
work rather than help from the gov
eminent, but as things still stand it
is necessary that the government take
the initiative in bringing about that
much sought change.
AS of July %, the federal govern
ment had S6,3S6, S64,344 available for
relief and promotion of business ac-
tivity and this money is expected
to flow rapidly into the hands of the
public to stimulate activity this fall.

Childish Hopes.

Doris had just lost her baby teeth,
and was thrilled at the prospect of
getting new ones.
One day her mother saw her look
ing in a mirror, seriously studying
the gap that was soon to be filled by
her second teeth. Presently Doris
turned and said:
Mother, 1 hope my new teeth will
be gold ones, don't you?"

SANDSTONE

Considerable work is taking place
in the Quarry City and most every
body is employed in various ways or
are out making hay, which is reported
to be a very good crop, especially on
some of the wild meadows east of
town. The quarry has been getting
out some material the past week and
will no doubt get several good jobs
for this fall and winter. Nearly all
the main streets are now oiled, which
is big improvement for a village
the size of Sandstone.

JOS. sCIMEY INJURED

Jos. Schley, farmer living north
Of Melrose had narrow escape last
Thursday afternoon when his four
year-old bull which he was loading
on a trailer at the farm of his faith
er-in-law, Fred Rehkamp, became
suddenly enraged and attacked him.
Mr.. Schley hung on with all his
strength to the rope attached to the
ring in the bulls nose and the fact
that he was able tot do saved him
from serious injury and possibly
death.
The bull had been in the Reh-
kamp pasture since Mr.. Schley's
cattle were taken up north. He had
gone to the pasture and had little
trouble, catching the animal and
attaching the rope to the nose ring,
but it was when he tried to load the
bull onto the trailer that the trou-
BILE started.
Mr.. Schley was dragged along the
ground, tossed in the air several
times, and for a time the bull had
him pinned on the ground and
crushing his chest. The dogs on the
farm place came to his rescue at
that moment and soon after Mr..
Schley was able to wind the rope

AUTO ACCIDENT

An automobile accident occurred
Monday night at about nine o'clock
at the Walker corner, on Highway
So, four miles south of this city,
when ]. e. Russell, salesman from
Milwaukee, Wis, collided with the
Dodge Sedan, driven by Fred
Botz, and occupied by Mrs. Botz
and two sons. Mr.. Botz had
stopped on old No. 4 for the stop
sign and was waiting for the on
coming car to pass before driving
onto the pavement. Mr.. Russell
evidently became confused, did not
see the bend in the highway and
continued straight ahead. He hit
the Botz sedan on the left side and
both cars were badly damaged. Mrs.
Botz has been confined to her bed
since the accident, and at present
it is not known how badly she was
injured. The other occupants re
ceived only slight bruises and cuts.

Hog Market is 36%
Above January Low Spot
Prices Shoot Upward Ia Consecu-
tive Days Since Chicago Yards
Strike Ended

Hog values at South st. Paul
have advanced 1850 over the years
low spot, and during the fourteen
days that the Chicago market has
operated, following a ten-day close
down due to labor controversy
there, prices have advanced stead
lily $500 per cwt on hogs. Thus
states the weekly market bulletin
issued by the Central Cooperative
Association at South st. Paul.
Highest price levels since August
1881 were paid for hogs at that
market last week, the top late be-
ing $40 compared with $5.15 a year
ago and $3.O5 at the low time in
January this year. The market
now stands within short distance of
the average at this date for the
last five years. Vt
Wholesale pork prices also are
registering sharp gains. At one of
the major meat distributing centers,
wholesale prices on best pork loins
set a new high since 1892 at 21c
per pound. A month ago the same
SIdoS VI lOluS SOlu dI Ia " Z per
pound and at the low spot last win
ter they went at SC. S
One of the favorable factors of
Importance in the hog Advance is
the rapid disappearance of pork
stocks. Apparently supplies of
hogs have not been sufficient to
satisfy the immediate needs of the
trade, for packers have taken pork
out of storage rather freely in re-
cent weeks.
On August 1 there were GA mill
lion pounds of pork in storage.
This amount was 1870 less than in
storage year ago and 11% less
than in storage at this date during
the five-year average. Pork stocks
in storage at present are smallest
in many years, and in view of the
fact that hog slaughter thus far this
year is near normal, it indicates
pork has been consumed rapidly.
