Today my daughter who is seven
years old, started to school as usual.
She wore a dark blue dress with a
white collar. She had on black
shoes and wore blue gloves. Her
cocker-spainel whose name is
"Coot," sat on the front porch and
whined his canine belief in the folly
of education as she waved good
bye" and started off to the halls of
learning.
Tonight we talked about school.
She told me about the girl who sits
in front of her-the girl with yell
low curls-and the boy across the
aisle who makes funny faces. She
told me about her teacher, who has
eyes in the back Of her head-and
about the tree in the school yard
and about the big girl who doesn't
believe in Santa Claus. We talked
about a lot of things tremendo lousy
vital, unimportant things; and then
we studied spelling reading, arith-
metic and then to bed.
She's back there now-back II

S. ". 0.c. SCORE
BY DECISION
Oliver Mining Co. Withdraws
Recognition of Employees
Association.

The Steel Workers Union No. 1864,
Ely local of the c. 1. o., will ask for a
contract from the Oliver Iron Mining
company as sole bargaining agent for
Oliver employees, according to John
Debeltz, president.
This move is being made following
the action of the company withdrawing
recognition from the Oliver Employees
association of Ely as collective bargain
ing representative for any employees Of
the company.
The Steel Workers Union had filed
charges with Robert j. Wiener, Duluth,
regional director of the National Labor
Relations boad, claiming that the Oliver
Iron Mining company had dominated
and interferred with the formation and
administration of the Oliver Employees
association.
In an announcement of the company's
action presented to officials of the
Oliver Employees association of Ely, the
company stated that cit has been the
intention of the management of this
company that this National Labor Re-
lation's) act be complied with by all
authorized representatives of the COM
pany, that the company remain alb
Solutely neutral with regard to whatever
attitude each employe may decide to
take as to utilization or non utilization
with any labor organization, and to
neither encourage or discourage mem
bership in any labor organization.
after investigation and discussion
with the officers of the association, and
without making any admission to the
truth of the charges, it is the con-
clusion of the company that the COM
pany should withdraw recognition from
the Oliver Employees Association of Ely
as collective bargaining representative
for any employees of this company :. ="
The way has been left open, however,
for the association to contest before
the labor relations board whether it is
a labor organization, as defined in the
act, entitled to represent employees in
collective bargaining, but no announce
ment has been made as to whether such
action will be taken.

TlUO Miles of NeU
Moose Lake Road Cleared,

Approximately two miles of the new
road into Moose lake being constructed
by PWA crew from Section Thirty
for the U. S. forest service, had been
cleared of brush, trees and stones by
last weekend. Starting from the edge
of Seeley's resort, the road will come
out on the Fernberg road at a point
just west of the present trail into the
Hubbard and Seeley properties.
The road will be graded next spring.

Sick Girls Narrowing
Experience Rekindles
BassUood Road Feud
Miss Chosa Wins Fight for
Life After Painful Trip
From Lake Home.
SETTLERS ISOLATED
Road From Fernberg to
Eastwood Destroyed by
Forest Service.

The narrowing experience of a IT.
year-old girl, stricken with an acute
attack of appendicitis, whose courage
enabled her to win fight for life in a
trek from Eastwood lake after the last
means of transportation had been cut
off, kindled anew the protracted road
dispute between the settlers of Bass
wood lake and the primitive area adj
vocateS.
The Frank Chosa home is on the
upper end of Eastwood, on this side of
the border line, across from the Can
adam Ranger station. Owing to the
unsafe condition of the ice for travel
and the inability of the airplane to
land, no physician could be taken to
the bedside of Miss Chosa, who was
suffering with an aggravated case of
appendicitis which neceSSitated the
prompt attention of doctor. Neither
could word be sent as there is no tele-
phone connection.
Mastering her courage, the young
lady started for this city on foot by a
circuitouS route and reached the home
Eastwood end of the portage where she
was forced to remain for a day until
somewhat rested before eSSaying the
trip to Ely over the portage and the old
tote road connecting with Fernberg
Trail.
All went as per schedule until the tote
road was reached. Here it was found
that the U. S. Forest service, acting
under orders from headquarters in Mil
waukee, had barricaded the road the
week previous by means of caterpillar
bulldozer which had piled rocks, stumps
and other debris on both ends and the
middle of the road in efforts to dis
courage its use under the primitive
area" proposition in which no roads or
commercialized interests were to be al
lowed, Notwithstanding the fact that
several resort propositions and several
dozen settlers are located on the lake.
BY clearing away some of the OBJ
stacles and driving around others, the
car with the sick girl arrived in this
city and the patient rushed to the Ship
man hospital where an emergency oper-
alton was performed on Friday.
The settlers on Eastwood, who have
and the forest service for the improve
on several occasions asked the township
ment of the old tote road in order to
meet extingencies which might arise
when travel on the lakes and landing
by airplanes is impossible, have been
considerably wrought up since the hap
pening and will petition Secretary Wal
lace of the U. S. Agricultural depart
ment for assistance in getting in sup
plies and school facilities for their
families and a method of getting in and

ELYITES HOME
Mrs. Nj. Matetich Suffers Fire
Loss in Thanksgiving Day
Conflagration.

Fire, presumably originating from a
defective chimney, on Thanksgiving
morning, destroyed the upper floor and
roof of the two-story home of Mrs. M
Matetich in the Chandler Location
northwest of the Chandler mine.
The family were at breakfast when a
neighbor rushed in and informed that
the building was afire, the whole roof
and upper story being ablaze at the
time. The fire department was noti-
fled by telephone and after a few
minutes had water playing on the
burning structure.
Mr.. and Mrs. Earl Bliven and Mrs.
Matetich succeeded in salvaging a few
articles on the lower floor but all their
clothing, bedding and the contents of
the upper floor are a total loss, besides
the furniture and contents of the lower
floor sustained almost irreparable
damages from water and smoke.
The fire department is being warm
ly congratulated on the effective work
done and the dispatch in which they
reached the scene of the fire, nearly a
half mile from the department base.
A little difficulty was experienced in
locating the hydrant, near there The
hydrant is a little short and snow COW
cred the plug. It was placed only a
short time ago and it's location had
never been thoroughly memorized. The
delay occupied less than a minute be-
fore water was playing on the flames.
Damages to the residence are esti-
mated at $1,000, with very light insur-
ance. Mrs. Matetich is one of Elys
Gold Star Mothers, her son John Pluth,
having succumbed to the flu while in
camp in one of the southern states
during the epidemic of 1917-1918, pre-
valent at that time.
