RED CROSS WORK
OCCUPIED WOMEN
OF COMMUNITY
SHRINE WAS HERE TO
CELEBRATE RETURN
OF SOLDIER BOYS

OF SOLDlEK BUYS
Only very important events in
Redwood Falls bring the Shrin-
ers to town. They will be here
for the Diamond Jubilee-they
came August 81, 1919 on Home
coming day to honor soldiers
and sailors returned from the
World War.
Behind their visit and the
celebration here lay two years
of feverish activity, heartbreak,
privation, excitement.
Those were the war years.
Closely knit with war activ-
tiles were two organizations,
Company L which served at the
Mexican border, in training
camps and in France-and the
Red Cross which worked for and
with the soldiers.
The company was organized
March 6, 1908 through the eff
forts of Myron w. Hingeley,
cashier of the State Bank of
Redwood Falls. He had served
in the Philippines during the
SpaniSh-American conflict and
was the son of an army chap
lain.
He asked A. C.. Dolliff to help
him organize the young men of
the community and they receiv-
ed enthusiastic cooperation. The
first meeting was held March 6,
1908.
Drills were held in the base
ment of the library, which was
pretty crowded when the sold
iers got together for maneuvers.
Their drill uniforms were khaki,
but dark blue with brass buttons
on the jackets was used in the
dress uniform. Company L men
wore soft hats of the 10 gallon
type, like those favored by
Teddy Roosevelt, their ideal
soldier.
Records uncovered by Wilbur
H. Lamberton, present captain,
show that Rev. c. Nook, rector
of the Episcopal church, was
first lieutenant and Mr.. Dolliff
was second lieutenant those
days.
In 1909 Hingeley went to
Floodwood and Sergeant j. w.
Inglis became captain.
It was in his time that the
legislature passed the armOry
appropriation of $4,000, which
was later increased by $4,000.
The citizens of Redwood Falls
raised about $4,000 by subscrip-
ton and the armory was dedi-
Gated while Charles Gales was
captain, in 1914. The cost was
$25, 900.
The roster of 1910 shows Nook
and Dolliff as lieutenants; Dr.
w. A. Brand, first sergeant; c. F.
Gales, quarter-m master sergeant;
w. B. Clement and c. T. March,
duty sergeants; Joe Lauterbach
and Ted Olson, corporals; N.
Dripps, j. w. Neiman, F. L..
Martin, John Lauterbach, Rein
hart Voelts, Ed Vihstadt, George
Ellis and E. j. Babcock, privates.
c. H. Baldwin was musician and
Frank Theiring, cook.
In 1916 Gales was captain;
Clement, first lieutenant and
John Lauterbach, second lieu
tenant.
The company was sent to the
Mexican border that year, leav-
ing here July Is. Hingeley re-
turned and went. to Texas as
captain of his old company.
Mustered out in January
1917, the company returned to
Redwood Falls only to be mob
ilized for World war service and
sent to Camp Cody, New Mex
leo in September 1917.

NOMINATE DOUGLAS
FOR SUPREME COURT

Washington, D. C. (ILNS) Will
liam Orville Douglas, born in Mime
sofa, raised and educated in the state
of Washington, now technically res
ident of Connecticut, has been named
to the Supreme Court of the United
States to fill the vacancy left by the
retirement of Justice Louis D. Bran
deis.
Douglas has been associated with
the Securities and Exchange Commits
sion for nearly five years; and chair
man since September, 1887. He has
been the pet peeve of Wall Street, es-
pecially during his craftsmanship.
"I've been tagged wild-eyed radi-
cal," he said. GAS matter of fact,
| am pretty conservative fellow of
an old school-so old that it seems to
have been forgotten-because | be-
lieve that simple honesty should pre-
vail in the financial world"
Too many investment bankers and
brokers, he said, are "immunized from
sense of social responsibility,
trained in the art of plunder in gen.
tlemanly ways, and imbued with the
false ideal that the American way
means exploitation"
Douglas is 40 years old and will be
the youngest man on the court. He
is of Scotch Presbyterian stock. He
was a private soldier during the war,
and when he decided to come east to
study law, he landed in New York
with Sc in his pocket.

and the control secured in many local
unions and national organizations af-
filiated with the C. 10.
''It will not make the problem Of
unity between the A. F. of L. and the
Ct. O. easier to solve when it is un-
derstood that the first proposals for
unity advanced by the c. l. O. were
identical to those prepared by the
Communist party, with Moscow's ap-
proval, two years ago."
A resolution adopted by the Com
munist party in June, 1887, read, he
continued:
"'We must never cease to demand
the unifcation of the trade union
movement. In line with this policy
the party has raised the question OF
the convocation of trade union unity
congress of the unions of the c. l. O..
A. F. Of L., railroad brotherhoods ano
other unaffiliated unions. Let al
those who stand for unity and soil.
darity come to such a congress.

Sub Committee Will Recommend Passage Of Amended
Apprenticeship Bill When 1t Is Again Considered
Labor Representatives Speak For Bill

The proposed law is also a part of
the legislative program Of the Ohio
State Federation of Labor, and was
introduced in the House by Repre-
sentative w. HI. Whetro, Ironton. The
bill was recommended for passage by
a unanimous vote.
House Bill No. 400, introduced by
Representative E. E. Addison, Colum-
bus, contains amendments to the
workmen's compensation law which
were agreed upon by joint negotiat-
ing committee of employer and en-
ploye representatives.
A companion bill has been approved
by the Senate commerce and labor
committee, and early action on the
amendments is anticipated Repre-
sentative O'Brien cast the only dis
senting vote on motion to recon-
mend the bill for passage.
In completing its actions for the
week, the committee voted down bill
sponsored by Representative O'Brien
which would include loss of hearing
as a compensate industrial injury,
and referred the matter to the en-
ployer- -employe negotiating committee
for consideration.
The House committee on organiza-
tion of state government approved
House Bill No. Ia, increasing the state
civil service commission to a three
instead of two-member board and in
creasing the salary of the commission
secretary. Representatives of the
State, County and Municipal En-
ployes' Union were successful in hav-
ing amendments improving the ap-
peal procedure and seniority ratings
| Incorporated in the measure.
| In the Senate, the committee on
commerce and labor unanimously rec
commended for passage Senate Bill No.
11S, introduced by Senator Horace S.
Keifer, Springfield, which clarifies the
duties of the four regional claims
boards of the Industrial Commission.
The measure was opposed by attor-
neys practicing before the Industrial
Commission and representatives of
the Ohio Manufacturers Association.
Constitutionality of the claims
boards has been attacked, and suit
is now pending in the Supreme Court
Senate Bill No. 118 would eliminate
the objections raised on the question
of the constitutional rights of the
boards to hear and decide claims.

tBy Ohio Labor News service)

Columbus, Ohio.-Three bills spon-
sored by the Ohio State Federation Of
Labor were recommended for passage
last week by the House labor COM
mittee, with only one dissenting vote
being cast against one of the meas
ures.
The measures were House Bill No.
237, changing the name of the De-
partment of Industrial Relations to
the Department of Labor; House Bill
No. 400, containing amendments to
the workmen's compensation law, and
House Bill No. 128, providing a 40
hour work week on public projects.
A subcommittee composed Of Rep
resentatives Ora h a m Kirkpatrick,
Licking County; Michael P. O'Brien,
Cuyahoga County, and Henry F. Cor
des, Hamilton County, submitted
amendments to House Bill 219, estab-
fishing standards for apprentice train
ing, and will recommend passage of
the amended bill when it is again con-
sidered by the whole labor committee
this week.
House Bill No. 237 was introduced
by Representative Albert F. Stokes,
Lancaster, and is part of the legis-
lative program of the Ohio State Fed
GRAFTON of Labor and platform
pledge of the Republican party.
Opposition to the measure, ex-
pressed by Don Martin, secretary of
the Ohio Manufacturers Association,
was answered by Thomas J. Donnelly,
secretary treasurer of the Ohio State
Federation of Labor, who told the
committee that the proposed change
was a proper one, inasmuch as the
department administered and enforced
the labor laws of the state.
Others speaking for the bill were
President M. j. Lyden and Vice-Presi-
dent Arnold Bill of the Ohio State
Federation Of Labor; Charles ]. Case
secretary of the Ohio State Building
and Construction Trades Council, and
George A. Strain, director of the De-
partment of Industrial Relations.
Representative Kirkpatrick ex-
pressed the opinion that "it is about
time that we started showing voters
that our (Republican) platform
pledges mean something" and moved
that the bill be recommended for pas
sage to the House of Representatives
The motion carried by unanimous
vote.
No opposition was voiced against
House Bill No. 129, establishing a 40
hour work week on public projects
after Labor Representatives Donnelly
Lyden and Bill had explained to the
committee that the measure merely
placed in the statutes work week
prevailing on construction projects
where union labor is employed.

of reviving the substitute bill in the
House Judiciary committee.
Representative Of all organized la
Dor in the state have refused to ac-
cept the substitute bill as a proper
compromise for House Bill 16, which
contains provisions almost identical
with the federal Norris-La Guardia
act.
Republican leaders stated that the
substitute bill would be pushed re-
gardless of labor's attitude on the
measure, but employer represent
atives have declared themselves to be
more bitterly opposed, if possible, to
the substitute bill, and no further
comments or action has been forth
coming from the House on the matter.
The Ascherman bill has been re-
ferred to the judiciary committee of
the Senate for consideration, but no
hearing date was set last week. Re-
publican members of both branches of
the Assembly, interested in the enact
ment of labor injunction legislation,
have expressed the belief that favor
able consideration will be given the
new bill inasmuch as it has been in
troduced by member of the majority
party.
A favorable change in attitude
towards labor legislation was notice
able last week in the Assembly, as
several bills sponsored by labor were
recommended for passage by various
committees

Oklahoma Court Upholds
Wage Hour Regulation

Oklahoma City (ILNS).-The Okla
homa Supreme Court has ruled that
state regulation of wages and hours
for men, women and children was ga
valid exercise of legislative power"
The court upheld in general terms a
state law that was passed in 1887
shortly after the United States Su-
preme Court had upheld the Wash
ington state minimum wage law which
related only to women.
The court held, however, that the
act was defective as to title.
The legislature has before it pro-
posal to repeal the law and enact
new measure to remedy this.

Columbus, O. (OLNS).-With the
question of regulating the issuance OF
injunctions in labor disputes appar-
emily hopelessly deadlocked in the
House judiciary committee, similar
measure was introduced in the Sen
ate last week by Senator Leo M. Asch-
erman (RD, Cleveland, as Senate Bill
No. 264.
Although the deadline for introduc-
tion of bills in the Ninety-third Cen
eral Assembly was reached month
ago, number of measures have been
introduced in the Senate since that
time through suspension of the rules
The Ascherman bill, defining the
jurisdiction of courts in cases involv-
ing labor disputes, is almost identical
with the provisions contained in
House Bill 16, authored by Repre-
sentative Lody Huml Cd, also OF
Cleveland.
Principal difference is in the first
two sections of the Ascherman bill
which declares the provisions of the
measure to be a declaration of public
policy in injunction procedure in labor
disputes.
Strenuous objections of employer
representatives to the amended substi-
tute bill offered as a compromise by
administration and House leaders in
lieu of House Bill 16 has apparently
silenced, for time at least, any talk

Many of the packers still have
