COMMUNICATED
To the Editor of the Miner:

To the Editor of the Miner:
Minnesota farmers are beginning to
feel that the Benson administration has
given them very dirty deal. When
Northern Minnesota farmers wanted to
market their timber last winter, strik-
ing lumberjacks blockaded the roads
and prevented us from selling our wood.
We tried to get help from those in
charge of law enforcement, but due to
apparent pressure from higher places,
even our County Sheriff turned deaf
ear to us. The result was that we had
to take our wood back home.
Then, when the strike was finally
over, the markets had been flooded with
cheap Canadian timber and we were
left holding the bag.
But we were not the only ones who
suffered. Thousands of timber workers
were forced to stop working and so they
lost large amount which they could
have earned had there been no strike.
When the strike was over, the operators
could not re-hire the men because they
were unable to sell their timber as the
markets were full of Canadian products.
Today, the farmers precious wood lies
rotting at the roadSides and in the
woodlots where it was cut, and a large
number of the jacks are unemployed
Most of the strike leaders were I'M
married men from other states, while
those who are still unemployed and who
had been willing to work when the
strike was declared, are men with
families to support and taxes to pay.
They did not sympathize with the strike
plan but did not care to take the risk
of becoming "scabS" and strike
breakers"
The strikers struck the Land O.
Lakes cooperative and gave us proof
that even our co-operatives are no
longer safe from strikes. Farmers are
not making such an awful lot by selling
their dairy products, SO the people en-
ployed by the co-operatives should not
expect such high wages either. The
Land O. Lakes strike, as all other
strikes, had the sympathy and en-
couragement of the Benson crowd But
Minnesota farmers, unemployed timber
workers and taxpayers will not stand
by silently forever. We will talk back
at the machine when We go to the polls
next month. We will demand proper
recognition from the politicians and
radicals running the North Star State
Due to typographical error, the sig
nature on my letter in the May 5th
issue of the Miner was incorrect 1t
appeared as Carl E. Anderson. My cor
rect name is given below.

Electric Water Heaters Will
Command Rate of 1c Per
Kilowatt in City.

As can be seen by reading the Council
proceedings in another place in this
paper, the City Council, at the last
meeting, made rate of one cent per
kilowatt for current for electric water
heaters.
This is an appreciable reduction and
will be an incentive to install one of
these modern heaters. Besides being
automatic, the heater will be so de-
signed as to furnish residential con-
sumers with an off peak load as stated
in the part Of the present contract by
this supplemental agreement made with
the Minnesota Power & Light Company.
This is a reduction of two cents per
kiloWat in the power rate at present
being charged and will prove boon to
the individual property owner con-
templating the installation of an cleo
trio heater, many of which have been
installed in neighboring cities.

TUO FarelUU Parties
for Miss Betty Raisky.

The North Star Guild of the Presby-
terrain church agreeably surprised Miss
Betty Raisky with dinner party at the
Forest hotel on Tuesday evening.
The dinner was served in the private
dining room which had been most ar
tistically decorated with spring bou-
quets, orchid and silver nut baskets, and
place cards.
During the evening, Miss Raisky was
presented with a Chantilly hollow
handle butter spreader as a momento
of the occasion along with the well
wishes of those present for her sue
cess in any future undertaking.
Miss Raisky also was the guest on
Monday afternoon at farewell party
in her honor at the old high school by
the teachers of the school among which
she has worked for several years.
Following a social hour and lunch,
Miss Raisky was presented with COM
pact to remind her of her friends at
the school. The party was most en-
joyable one, long to be remembered by
both the honor guest and those present.

This sounds rather sinister until
it is known that He'll is a pros
porous little city in Norway of
1900 inhabitants where there
is no Jail and no divorces.
Neither has He'll any fire de-
partment. The mayor stated
that while he always had been
led to believe that America had
the best looking women on
earth, a fact long established,
he stated that Hell's females
are all good looking and all

Representative Teigan, Far
mer-Labor of Minnesota, has
introduced a bill destined to
cure all the financial ills of the
nation by having the govern
ment own and operate the iron,
steel and allied industries. The
bill provides for government
purchase of iron and steel
plants, coal mines, ore beds,
coke processing plants, lime
stone quarries, mills, furnaces,
processing plants, rolling stock,
docks, wharfs and equipment.
Not such a bad idea at that.
AS long as the government is
dabbling into every other bust
ness, it might as well be in the
steel business. But, we do hope
when this crackpot idea be-
comes a reality, some one with
brains will be put at the head
of the works. Some of the best
and brightest men in the
country are having a helluva

ness going in this state despite

Looking at it from a common

are relatively more secure than
most wage earners, should not
share in helping out by paying

everything.
However, this Tiegen fellow
has no monopoly on goofy
ideas. Last week we received
a circular from one Northrop
in Owatonna, who thinks he is
a candidate for governor. In
his circular he states that "U.
S. Steel, private corporation,
crossed $1,508,O79,O91 in one
year, nearly four million dol
lars a day from one of our
natural resources that we ac-
tually nationally control"
This is probably news to the
Steel corporation which does
business in &c or more other
states and according to late
reports, has 8,703,252 shares
of stock outstanding against it
with 6,640,791 shares in the
hands of investors and the bal
ance in the hands of brokers.
Foreign investors in England,
Holland and Canada are hold
ing 849,816 shares. The larger
portion of these stocks are held
by employees and people who
bought for dividend invest
ments.

literature further went on to
state that the net earnings in
1929 of U. S. Steel was $685.

His second plan is to "pass a
law prohibiting all iron ore
from leaving the state except as
a finished product. The steel

in the United States would have
to move to Minnesota, he says.

of candidates for nomination
in all three political parties.
The ballot is so arranged that
Farmer-Labor candidates are
all in one column; Republican
candidates in the second col
umn, and Democratic candi-
dates in the third column. EX-
press your choice for one or

candidates in all the columns.
If you do, your ballot will be
thrown out and your vote will
count for no one.

feated at the election by the
candidate you try to help. OPP
