Minnesota Movie Shows
job Risk LulU Procedure.

Your Job Insurance" a short motion
picture describing how unemployed
workers may receive benefits under the
Minnesota Unemployment Compensa-
ton Law, now Is being shown at
theatres throughout the state.
This was announced today by Frank
T. Starkey, Industrial Commissioner in
charge of the unemployment compen-
sation division, which, together with the
Social Security Board, had the picture
made especially for Minnesota The
film features scenes of the state capitol,
showing Governor Elmer A. Benson and
Emery G. Nelson, director of the un-
employment compensation division, pre-
pairing the division for the payment of
benefits, which begins in January, 1888
The film also shows industrial scenes
in Minneapolis, st. Paul, Duluth, Hib-
bling and Austin.
Andre Baruch, nationally known COM
mentator is heard in the film, des-
cribing how, beginning January 8, 1888,
unemployed workers may register at
Minnesota State Employment Service
offices near their homes, file claims for
benefits in the same offices, and how
benefit checks will be sent directly to
the homes of eligible unemployed
workers. A typical unemployed Min
nesota worker is the principal char
acter in the film.
In announcing release of the film
Commissioner Starkey also thanked
the motion picture theater owners
throughout the state for their coopera-
ton in showing the picture. The COM
missioner urged all persons in the state
to see the picture. Clubs and other or
CARNATIONS which may desire showings
of the film before their groups were

sheep. They generally do their own
thinking and neither william Green or
John L. Lewis is going to do it for
them. A CLIO unionist belongs to that
organization because he wants to be-
long; he likes the sort of leadership it
has; he approves direct action, violence
and mob rule; he prefers blatant
tongue to rational mind. No one has
to join or remain a member of any
union, whether it be an affiliate of the
American Federation of Labor or a
chartered mob of the CLIO.
1t may suit the purpose of politicians
to bewail and lament the division in the
labor movement, but their sense of
grief is not real. What they are think
ing of is the lack of political unity in
the labor movement. The matter of
principle has nothing to do with it.
They want a united political front to
perpetuate themselves in places of
authority and they dare not commit
themselves as sympathetic to one group
lest the other group rend them apart.
But to those who understand the real
leadership of the CLIO and the tactics
it employs to disrupt and corrupt a
great movement, there is no question as
to what position to take.

Beginning of Purse Races

It has been customary to credit
the state of Virginia with original
ing horse racing for prizes in this
country, because it was established
that there were turf contests in that
state as early as April 10, 1874. But
horses were raced and trophies
awarded in New York beginning in
1865. It is merely presumed that
a race was run in March, 1865, on
the track which Col. Richard Mic
oils called the New Market course,
in Hampstead, Long Island. Colonel
Nicolls, who arrived in America in
1864, as the first English governor
of New York, called the meeting,
but it is established that there was
a race on March Is, 1868, because
there is in Yale university's collec-
ton of old American silver por
ringer given to the winner of the
contest in 1868.

MERMEN DROP
SECOND MEET
Herseth's Squad Makes Fine
Showing Against Strong
Virginia Team.

In a closely contested swimming meet
held at Virginia last Saturday, the Ely
mermen were forced to take another
defeat having previously lost to Hib-
bling.
A change in the lineup had been
planned by Coach Herseth to assure
greater number of points and per-
haps thereby winning the meet. 1t had
been planned to use Joe Grahek in the
so and 100 yard free style events and
let Joe zaic take care of the diving,
which he undoubtedly would have won.
However, his failure to clear the
scholastic barrier made him ineligible
for this meet and he did not make the
trip.
Joe Grahek is undoubtedly the fastest
swimmer in the state at the present
time in the SO and 100 yard free style,
in addition to being the outstanding
diver. Last Saturday, because of a
rather awkward turn, Grahek lost his
second fifty yard race in two years to
Virginia's speed ace Mckenzie, who
nosed out Grahek by about two inches.
The most exciting race of the day
was in the 1OO-yard back stroke in
which Joe Atkins, Ely sophomore, and
w. Evan of Virginia, were swimming
on even terms up to the last fifteen
feet when Atkins gave all he had and
barely edged out his opponent, negoti-
ating the distance in 1:11.3 which is
very fast considering this is Atkins first
year of real competition.
In the breast stroke the Virginia
swimmers had things much to their
own liking and did not have to ex-
tend themselves to take first and second
place. The breast stroke is the weakest
department on the Ely squad and the
weakness is so much more noticeable
after having such stellar performers as
Urho TuomikoSki and Ralph Majerle in
previous years to take care of this
unit.
Our free style relay team, although
not pressed at all, negotiated the dis
lance in the fast time of l AL to take
an easy first place.
Joe Grahek, Ely captain, was high
point man in the meet taking first in
diving, second in the SO yard free style
event and swimming anchor man on
the winning relay team The summary:
50-yard free style-R. Mckenzie, Vir-
ginia, first; j. Grahek, Ely, second; E.
Klun, Ely, Third. Time EST.
100-yard breast stroke-M. Brown,

st. Paul Union Advocate-If there Is
any doubt in the minds of the rank and
file of the Labor movement as to who
is directing the CIO agitation in the
Twin c. ties, casual reading of the
news stories centering around the Cor
coran case should be sufficient to con-
vince anyone that the Go is a COM
munistic outfit from top to bottom.
Every trick of the communists is being
employed to grab headlines, to propa-
gate distrust, to incite violence, to
besmirch the good name of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor and to exalt
their own claimed virtues.
At the coroner's inquest the Com
munists and CLIO agitators fairly wal
lowed in their own swill. They took
advantage of every opening to connect
Corcoran with the underworld in an
effort to prove he was rubbed out" by
racketeers. Crackpot leaders of dis
gruntled elements gloried in the spot
light and used it to give vent to their
venom. CLIO agitators used every trick
to poison the mind of the coroner's
jury-an to the end that suspicion
would rest on the dead labor leader.
Wednesday evening the Roman holi-
day was repeated at mass meeting Of
volunteer committee" of Communists,
CIO dupes and misguided trade union
lists. The committee in charge plumbed
the depths of depravity to besmirch the
American Federation of Labor and its
leadership. Nothing was too low or vile
and the louder the below the longer
the applause. That is always char
acteristic of Communist mass meetings.
If any number of people actually
think the split in the American labor
movement is personal quarrel between
William Green and John L. Lewis they
are either hopelessly ignorant or they
deliberately ignore facts.
At the Dvilver convention of the
American Federation of Labor last Oct
ober the demand for the ousting of
CIO unions came from state declarations
and from central labor bodies. 1t did
not come from Green It did not come
from international officials. 1t came
from local and state bedies which have
had to contend with the raiding ac-
tivities of the CIO.

Skilling's Mining Review-One of the
strange ideas that have developed over
quite recent years is that a worker
is supposed to be due for the scrap
heap at 40 years of age, and Il he is
out of job when nearing that age, it
is just too bad. A man is in his prime
at that age and should be good for
many years. 1t is recalled that Joe
Goss won the heavyweight champ;cr-
ship of the world from Tom Allen at
the age of 40, and held i; for for
years. 1t took all the youth and Drawn
of Paddy Ryan to take it away from
Joe at A.
But the widespread idea that cor
porations discharge employees at 40 or
more years OF age is refuted if one
goes to the trouble Of looking up the
facts For example, in October the
Inland Steel Company employed over
1000 men at the Indiana Harbor plant
who are more than 49, The Inlands
retirement age is IS, but there are 81
employees who exceed that age, and q
who are between 70 and n.
In the furniture plant at Grand
Rapids, Mich, out Of 164 workers 27%
are between 60 and 76 years, and $50
between so and SO. The average is
above so years for 1870 of the entire
force.

Grand Rapids Herald-Review- there
are to be some big changes. The pub
lie had better prepare for them.
Beginning right sudden there will be
a decline in governmental expenses.
Many wasteful things are to be elm
mated. Some useful things will go.
Uncle Sam, who has gone about the
land with an open hand, is to get hard
and close listed. Folks had better pre-
pare for it.
Such a condition is not coming about
through the choice Of the governing
officials of the nation and state. Frank
lin D. Roosevelt, congress, Governor
Benson and such people do not talk
about economy from choice. Changes
will come from necessity.
One of the factors which will cause
a change is that the credit of the ma
tional government is reaching break
ing point. The national debt has
reached the total of over 81 billion
dollars, about IL billion greater than
the highest point after the war. Poll
ticians have wondered what will happen
if the United States needs money fol-
national defense in case of war. They
see that the governmental credit has
been used up should another depres-
sion impend The financial world sees
in the collapse of governmental Sc
curities the collapse of the whole fl
ancial system Of the nation.

WHAT OTHERS SAY'

Two Harbors Chronicle-The Chron-
icle is indebted this week to the COM
missioner of liquor control for copy
of the regulations of the liquor traffic
in Minnesota, volume of 102 pages and
an index of four pages. 1t seems that
is a lot of regulation for anything that
is good. 1t would be hell on the
grocers if they had to study 102 pages
for regulation of prunes, another fo-
soap and still another for beans, but
we'll bet they would be tickled to have
the state protect them from chiseling
on prices such as is given the liquor
dealer in the liquor code.

This week the patrol was ordered to

such careless or deliberate actions. And
it is also against the law to leave a
