Industrial Activity
For Region Keeps
UpSteady Increase

Industrial activity, retail sales of
general merchandise, and industrial
employment and pay rolls contin-
ued to increase in the Twelfth Fed
eral Reserve district during October.
Volume of industrial output was
larger than in any October since
1929, and the number of workers
engaged in manufacturing opera
tions. was close to the monthly av-
erage for that year. Industrial pay
rolls. however. continued somewhat
below pre-depression levels. largely
sS a result of net reduction in
the length OF the work week.
The volume of marketings of ag-
ricultural products in the twelfth
district declined during October and
farm prices averaged somewhat
lower than in September. In addi-
ton to seasonal influences, reduc
tion in marketings of some crops
is reported to have resulted partly
from anticipation of difficulties in
shipping commodities by water be-
cause of the maritime strike. Cash
income of district farmers from
crops, livestock, and livestock prod
uctS is estimated by the United
States department of agriculture to
have totaled $680000,000 during the
first nine months of 1886 compared
with S597. 100000 in the comparable
period last year and S412,000,000 in
1882
improvement in business activity
this year has been accomplished by
a moderate expansion in loans by
banks for commercial. industrial,
and agricultural purposes. The in
crease in loans for those purposes
was small between October 81 and
November 10, but the volume of
such loans outstanding at city banks
is currently about 10 per cent larger
assets OF reporting member banks
were practically unchanged in the
four week period but deposits con-
tinued the increase in evidence
since early 1888
A decline of $3,200,000 in member
bank reserve balances during the
four weeks ending November 18 re-
flected unusually large transfers of
United States treasury balances
from depositary banks to the treas
ury's account at the reserve bank

STRIKE EPIDEMIC HITS
SCHOOLS
By McMann

The scoffers may scott, and
parents refuse to be alarmed, but
there is nothing to scott at and
much to be alarmed about in the
the way the strike epidemic Il
sprea ding throughout our
schools. The school strike at
St. Louis Park is very recent, a
disgraceful example of undisci-
plined school children, and q
glazing example of the ease with
which u. S. school children are
influenced by the communist
means of expressing disapproval
of the scheme of things"
AT Isle, Minnesota, last week,
high school students staged a
strike to retain their school su-
perintendent.
AT Marshall high, here in Min
neapolis, there was a threat of a
strike by students over the re-
moval of their principal.
Children pattern themselves
after their elders, and during
their formative years believe
most of what they are taught.
They can hardly be blamed for
their conduct when the govern
ment not only condones, but
often aids and abets strikers. And
in Minnesota we have the FL
regime who insist that labor re-
tain the bludgeon OF the strike
method.

And Oh, Those Scandals!

If Christensen should be
nominated to bear the standard
of the republican party, it should
not be forgotten that the master
of vituperation, Floyd B. Olson
will be in his glory parading the
official scandals of the Chris
Hanson administration with most
destructive consequences to
Christianson's chances of cleo
ton and to the chances of the en-
tire Republican slate.
And Floyd is the boy who can
touch rock bottom, he is in po-
sition to expose the depths OF
Teddy's involvement in them.
Many of us remember those mys-
FERROUS trips, humiliating to
Christianson, which Governor
Teddy made to the private office
of county attorney Floyd b. u.
son when muskrat fur was flying
and state capitol officials were in
huddles fearing the returning OF
indictments. Following these
visits, Teddy lost little time II

The experiences Of Isaac Wal
ton league and the Minnesota
Game Protective League with
Teddy while he was governor
have weaned them away from
him. Former State Game Com
missioner Jay Gould was popular
with sports lovers in this state
and with the members of those
organizations. Gould, in fact,
might be said to have been the
idol of our sportsmen.
When there appeared to be .
movement under way to replace
Gould as a political strategy, Of
ficers of the Isaac Walton league
were promised by Teddy that no
action would be taken without
his comforting with members of
both the above organizations. In
stead of keeping his word, Jay
Gould was removed from Office
by Christensen the following
day and without the promised
conference.

nature have taught these sports

And again:
"The time is come to put for

"Why Not Teach Spanish in

There is considerable agi-

that the movement is tempo

Dating back from the period
