issue still remained deadlocked
and the company made several
offers to Patterson to reimburse.
Nichols Explains
Bro. Nichols explained that we
were not running compensation
bureau but rather a hiring hall
and that we expected the company
to live up to its agreement and
hire a full crew when we have
competent men available.
McKinstry stated that the ship
would not sail if Patterson was
signed on, and he then went ahead
and had the announcement made
to the passengers that the sailing
had been indefinitely postponed
because of the refusal of the Mar
inc Cooks and Stewards to sail
the ship.
This false report was corrected
Immediately by a verbal state
ment to all the passengers telling
them that the MC&S were ready
to sail the ship as soon as the
third cook was signed on and 1T
was the company who was holding
up the ship and not the MC&S.
Seeing that the ship was definitely
not going to sail that night, the
boys turned in about l a. m.
The next day, Tuesday, the pas
sengers were notified to be off the
ship by noon and a great many
passengers refused to do this and
started picket line with placards
and all.
Members of the Stewards dept.
went out and bought milk for
babies and children of passengers
still aboard the ship and the gen.
eral opinion of the passengers was
that the Stewards dept. was all
right and it was the company that
was putting them to all this in
convenience. The phony maneuver
to shift the blame to the Stewards
dept. completely boomeranged and
put very bad black eye on the
face of the Alaska Steamship Co.
Meanwhile the firemen and the
MC&S agreed to put the beef be-
fore an arbitrator and at D. m.
the arbitrator returned the de-
cision that the MC&S was in the
right and Patterson the third cook
should be signed on.This was done
and the ship got away at 8 p m.
Tuesday night after a five-day de-
lay.
The attitude of the company in
this case was just another of their
phony attempts to split the ranks
of the seamen and cause disunity
and this was particularly timely
because of the present negotia-
lions.
The MC&S realize that situa-
tions of this type are very det-
rimental to all of the organized
seamen and sincerely hope that
beefs of this type will be elm
mated because we know that we
are playing right into the hands
of the shipowners but the MC&S
also feels that when a sacrifice is
to be made for the betterment of
all trade unions that the sacrifice
should be made by the party or
parties responsible for the particu-
lar condition.
NOTE: After reviewing the en-
tire situation, as described above,
the arbitrator, Capt. Froberg, is
sued the following decision - 'It
is therefore the ruling of the ar
bitrator that the position of the
Firemen's union is not established
by the facts and that the SIS Bar

staff, and that of the Electric Bond
and Share system, which is the parent
company of the Minnesota Power &
Light Co., have given the situation a
great deal of study over period of
years."
Tremendous Supply of Energy.
1.-THE process of developing an ex-
tensive system of transmission lines,
hydro-electric and steam electric gen.
Grating plants over period of years
has provided northeastern Minnesota
with such a tremendous supply of
electrical energy that we are in a
position to carry on throughout 1941
without provision for further produc-
ton facilities, the power company
executive said.
Mr.. Hubbard pointed to the develop
ment of the electrical industry in
northern Minnesota and its part in
the national utility picture. During
the World war years, it was pointed
out, more than half dozen individu-
al companies operated in the Arrow
head area, and many individual plants
were dependent upon their own
power plants for electrical energy.
None of these companies were in a
position to adequately serve their
districts, and it was through the hold
ing company and the Minnesota
Power & Light Co., that these indi-
vidual companies were brought to-
gether, provided improved admini-
Stration, better engineering facilities
and sounder financing.
Holding Company Plan Used.
The Minnesota Power & Light Co.,
in turn, is associated with and is part
of the Electric Bond and Share Sys-
tenn. The holding company plan,
which proved so successful in the
growth of the automobile and steel
industry, was adapted to the needs of
the electrical utilities in the 1920's,
and the financial resources of the
Electric Bond and Share System, to-
gether with the experienced manage
ment and expert engineering advice,
has been one of the principal factors
in the development of the extensive
northern Minnesota power system of
1910, Mr.. Hubbard said.
THE large mining industry in the
Range area, as well as all industries
in Duluth and in all parts of the
Minnesota territory served by the
company, will be able to depend upon
electrical power for all emergencies
which may arise out of the defense
program" he declared.

Need Skilled Workers

Getting enough skilled workers for
national defense jobs continues to be
one of the major difficulties facing the
Civil Service Commission, according
to reports. There is plenty of COM
mon or unskilled labor available but
the arsenals, navy yards and the air
/: service call continuously for toolmak-
tcrs, machinists, instrument makers
and other skilled workers, and the
need is becoming more acute.
1t would appear that here would
be a fine chance for the government
to take care of many of the men re-
jected by the selective service boards
as unfit for military service. While
it is true that the rejects would still
be unskilled, special schools with the
proper equipment and facilities for
practice could, within few months,
give the men willing to learn, much
of the essential technical knowledge
so vitality necessary for the defense
program.

Health Ward
Information furnished by Pine County
Nursing Service

Miss Jean Stribling, S tude in
nursing from the University of Mime
sofa, is with Miss Virginia Karlson
for six weeks to observe and obtain
practical experience in the different
phases of county public health nurs-
ing before going into similar type
of work. She is originally from Iowa
where she took her high school train
ing and is completing her five-year
course of study at the university
There is demand for public health
nurses at this time as the military
service requires nurses of this type
and education to carry on the health
work in camps where they are To-
Gated.
Miss Virginia Karlson spoke to the
All Club in Sandstone Friday on
general health and good hygiene. The
members were attentive and will no
doubt carry out some of the sugges-
tions given by Miss Karlson.
The second and last dose for i'm
munization against diphtheria will be
given by DR.. Parson in Askov soon.
Since the fiscal year of the Pine
County Nursing Service was COM
pleted January l, Miss Karlson COM
piled the annual report that was dis
tributed at the meeting in Askov
Wednesday evening.
The last meeting of the Continu-
alton Study on Public Health Nurs-
ing will be held Saturday, January
II, at the Museum of Natural History
on the university campus. DR.. Ruth
Boyton will discuss the procedure of
medical examination. Miss Amy Wes-
sell from the Agricultural Extension
Division at the university will dis
cuss demonstrations at luncheon to
be held at the Coffman Memorial
Union. Board members and subcom-
mittee members are invited to attend.

dark object here and there on the
prairie and upon inspection found it
to be horse or cow or calf.
Many human lives were also lost.
Only short distance from our shanty
school teacher in her wanderings
came to hay stack and burrowed
into this and froze to death and was
not found until the hay was hauled
away later in the spring.
Saved by Wire Fence.
Another neighbor driving a pair
of mules on his way home from town
was lost in the storm. He located a
barb-wire fence but the snow was
then so badly drifted he unhitched
the mules and turned them loose
They were found later not far from
the sleigh where they persisted in
the snow.
The man followed the fence tearing
both of his mittens and his hand but
as luck would have it this fence led
up to the barn in farmers yard.
1t was the custom to string a wire
or line from the house to the barn
in case of a storm, and here was one
of these lines. He followed this line
to the house and was taken in Sc
verely frozen. He never entirely re-
covered from the exposure
Little Fuel Available.
Nowadays one hears complaints of
the cold and the fuel one has to burn.
What would they say if they had to

years dis we did, and few willow
twigs gathered from the river banks.

and information obtained. In this
way All Club work is carried on by
local leaders working with the coun-
ty extension office.
Another way that extension work
is carried on might be an example
of the REA project which was or
ganized during the past year. Edu-
cational meetings were called by the
county agent, and information on REA
projects was given at these meetings.
The people then organized their board
members, and members were signed
up by the board members and other
local leaders working on the project
Supplies Information.
In other words, the extension serv-
ice is an educational agency and sup
plies the information which people
want. The following figures were
presented showing the extent that the
county extension office is used during
the year: Office calls, 1926; letters
written, 1,614; news articles written,
1875; bulletins given out, 3,139; meet
ings attended, $40; total attendance
at meetings, 9,163.
This report was followed by talk
by Skull Rutford who is the extern
sion representative on the state Triple
A committee. Mr.. Rutford gave a
very interesting talk on land use
planning, telling some of the things
that have been carried on in other
counties. Three counties in the state
have now adopted zoning law after
the people in the county have met at
numerous m e t ings and discussed
what use should be made of the land
and the resources they have in their
respective counties.
Extension Work Necessary.
President Joe Wurm gave talk
on the necessity of having extension
work and the county Farm Bureau in
the county. Lorraine and Robert Pc
tiers of the Ambitious Pines All Club
sang two songs as part of the pro-
gram.
Following this was the election of
officers, and following are the off,
GERS for the coming year: President,
Joe Wurm; vice-president, Chris.
w. Frederiksen; secretary treasurer,
Adolph Wanous; and John B. Won
Rueden, Julius Waletzko, and Mike
Birkeland are board members.
The bylaws were changed by a
vote of the members at the meeting
to move the place of business of the
Pine County Farm Bureau from Pine
City to Sandstone.
At meeting of the new board,
Melvin Anderson of Brook Park was
chosen member at-large on the ex-
tension committee.

"A new year starts, and there is
plenty of evidence to show that the
plan OF the dictators comprises the
hope of forcing more and more small
states into their group. The fact
that Hitler few days back said that
he already now controls the entire
coast from Narvik in northern Nor
way to the Pyrenees and thus ex-
cludes the British Isles from contact
with the continent may mean a shar-
pening of his territorial appetite.

ACreat Man Dies

Boy Scouts throughout the world
lost one of their greatest friends and
helpers yesterday morning in the pass
ing of Lord Robert S. S. Baden-Pow-
ell, English lieutenant general, who
founded the Boy Scout movement
back in 1908.
Lord Baden-Powell, who had been
living in Kenya Colony, East Africa
since 1887, was veteran soldier of
the British empire but had spent the
past 80 years since his retirement
from the army working for peace.
In launching his peace program he
started in a good place-the boyhood
of his country-and he lived to see
his dream spread until today nearly
100000 boys in Al nations are proud
to be known as members of the great
est organization for boys in the world.
One may ask in thinking over the
wars and turmoil in the past three
decades, whether or not the move
ment has been a failure, as far as
peace is concerned, but Lord Baden
Powell was also man of kindness
and vision. He wished to promote
good citizenship by creating a spirit
of civic duty and of usefulness to
others, by stimulating the boys in
terest in wholesome mental, moral,
industrial and physical activities. How
well he succeeded is attested to by the
rapid growth of the Boy Scout troops
and the Scout ideals, backed by the
solid citizenry of the home communi-
ties.
War or no war, Scouting has been,
and Isis, one of the most influen-
tial factors in peace promotion, Gre
ating international good will and
friendship by emphasizing the points
which boys in various nations have
in common. Their program is based
upon activities that are fundamental
to boyhood the world around and they
put it into practice. Their World
Jamborees bring together thousands
of Scouts and their leaders, the larg-
est being held in England in 1929
when $4,000 attended. The 1941
gathering was to have been held in
France but the Boy Scouts will have
to wait until hostilities cease before
they can meet again as Scout BROTH
erS
Boy Scout training with its charac-
ter building and citizenship value is
highly important as supplement to
the home, the church and the school.
High ranking Scouts get special pre-
ference in many organizations and on
many jobs. They have learned self
reliance, observance and prepared
ness. Active participation in Scout
ing from his 18th birthday until he is
through high school, the molding
years of boyhood, often has pro-
found effect on a youths adulthood.
Lord Baden-Powel was a soldier,
-and a good one, but he earned his
fame as worker for peace and a
steadfast friend of boys. His deeds
and his works are not to be found in
the pages of history books as some
general who won great battle, but
are written on the hearts of universal
boyhood. He would not have wanted
an imposing monument erected to his
memory but the Boy Scout movement
will stand as living and lasting
tribute to great man.
