WORK SLATED
TO COMPLETE
PAVING NO. 1863
E. w. Coons Company Receives
Contract for Completion of
Tower-Virginia Paving.

| Work will begin on September l on
the paving of five and SiX-tenthS miles
of Highway No. 1863, completing the
paving of this highway between Tower
and Virginia.
The E. W. Coons Company of Hib-
bling secured the contract for this piece
of work on their bid of $119,794.82 let
on August II, by N. w. Elsberg, state
highway commissioner. This is a
matched federal aid proposition.
The paving of 1859 is the only con-
tract let for WORK in this county at
the letting on August IL, just announced
by the department. The beginning of
the work on September l will oc-
casion a detour from this city to Vir-
ginia.
Highway No. 81 has been improved
by the county and can be utilized for
the longer trips to the south and con-
meet up with the paved part of 1859 at
the county buildings on the route or by
way of Tower on No. and then detour
either by way of Angora or by way of
IS south
Heretofore the paving on the route
was done during the tourist season and
the long detours occasioned were the
bane of the travelling public. All this
will be obviated at the completion of
the contract awarded the Coons Com
pany, or until paving is begun and
finished on No. between here and
Tower.
Efforts have been made to have the
department complete the Ely-Tower
paving all in one stretch. According to
the highway department thisswill be
hard matter as the funds are yearly
distributed in various parts of the state
on the trunk lines. The suggestion
made that the department create fund
for this work and place the yearly allot-
ments in the treasury for final clean
up of the work is good one and
would solve the detour troubles oc-
casioned by the short stretch paving
projects to encompass them all into
one period.
Bids for the shouldering on the paw
ing covered by the Coons contract will
be opened on September 9.

Oliver Mine Officials
Deny Local Violation
of Wagner Labor Act
Labor Mutual Benefit Club
File Charges Against
u. S. Steel Corp.
CLAIM UNFAIR HIRING
No Unfair Labor Practices
INDUCED by Company,
Say Officials.

The Oliver Iron Mining company on
Friday emphatically denied it had
violated the Wagner Act as charged by
the Labor Mutual Benefit Club of this

declared there had been no diScrim-
ination of any kind against men in
volved III the complaint"
They were not refused employment
on account of union affiliations or &C.
tivitieS," the Oliver officials said. 1.-The
company has engaged in no unfair
labor practices and has not in any way
violated the Wagner Act
The Club, through it's attorney, M. H.
Greenberg Of Eveleth, has filed charges
against the U. S. Steel Corporation and
its subsidiary, the Oliver company be-
fore the National Labor Relations
Board. The claim is made that the
company has engaged in unfair prac-
tees within the meaning of the Ma
tional Labor Relations Act.
The claim is made that after Deem
Der 1St, 1885, the mines were temper
arily shut down but that each employe
was a regular and permanent employee
of the company and was on the pay
roll at the time of the shutdown. That
thereafter the mines were reopened
and the campany have rehired and put
to work men who were not former
employees and who were not on the
payroll Of said mine in 1885.
That the forty-seven employees listed
in the charges filed were refused re-
employment and reinstatement by
reason of their membership in and ac-
Invites in behalf of the union That
the companies have Disseminated and
are discriminating in regard to hire and
employment of these persons and as a
result have discouraged and are dis
couraging membership in the union.
The Labor Mutual Benefit Club was
organized in this city in the spring of
1885 and was in existence until the
summer of 1887 when it was taken over
by the Steel Workers Organizing Com
mittee.

On This
Occasion
A Few Observations on Matters
Material and Immaterial by
the Editor.

John P. Devaney, former
chief justice of the Minnesota
supreme court is mentioned as
being under consideration for
appointment to the position on
the United States supreme court
vacated by the death of Justice
Cardoza. Minnesota would be
proud to have John P. Devaney
on this noted body of jurists
and President Roosevelt could
do a lot worse than name him
to the honored position.
