CITY EMPLOYES
Insist on Wage Increase Or
There Will Be Vacan
cies, They Say
There is to be no more hum-hawing
around about increases in wages so
far as the engineers, firemen and
Other service employes of the city are
concerned. It is either more money
or look for other men, they say.
Council has been dilly-dallying around
and putting the men off until patience
ceases to be a virtue. Last week,
John Bucheit, representing the fire
rjtien, oilers and helpers, appeared be
fore council and gave them to under
stand that the members of his union
insisted on immediate acion of some
kind. He also said a few other
things that made council realize that
something had to be done quick. The
increase asked for was granted.
Tuesday night Joseph Strategier,
representing the stationary engineers,
appeared before council and stated
that immediate action must be taken
on the demands of the engineers and

other employes of the service depart
ment if the city cared to hold some of
its old employes. Mr. Strategier stat
ed plainly that he didn't come to make
threats, that the men had no inten
tion of walking out and closing down
the water and electric plants, but that
these men were underpaid, that they
can't meet the living costs of today
with the amounts they are receiving
and that if council failed to meet their
demands they would seek work else
where where the wages paid are high
er than the city is paying. It is pure
ly a business proposition, higher
living costs make higher wages imper
ative, he said.
City Solicitor Harry Koehler ad
vised council that it delay action on
the firemen's, oilers' and helpers' de
mands and arrange to increase all the
service employes' \vages with the un
derstanding that there be no more in
creases for at least another year. This
was agreed to and council recessed
until Friday night, when it will meet
in executive session.
It is also intimated that when the
increases are made the citizens can
look for an increased rate for water,
gas and electric light. This is us
ually the case. Coal, pipe, wire and
other material costs may increase
ten-fold, and there is nothing said
about increased rates, but let the em
ployes ask for an increase in wages
that will add $4.00 to the city's pay
roll and there is an immediate cry
that it is necessary to increase water
and light rates. Everything is hung
onto labor.
Council no doubt is becoming peev
ed with the continuous agitation for
wage increases on the part of the
city employes. That may be, but the
employers are also becoming "peev
ed" with the race they are having
with old H. C. L. and with the jug
gling around of their requests by
council. We believe council means al
right but just seems to lack that go
ahead-do-something spirit necessary
when the occasion requires it.
It would be a matter of regret if
the rates for water, gas and electric
currcnt had to be increased, but if ne
cessary to do so in order to give the
employes living wages ho one will
complain. They have to live.

Favorite Sites for "Paper
Towns" Along Great Lakes
Were at Mouths of Rivers
Sites of lake cities "located" in the
days of wild speculation, before the
panic of 1S37, were scattered here and
there along the shore of Lake Michi
gan and Lake Huron. Promoters, en
couraged by the sale of lots, would
spend a little money in making a small
clearing, often many miles from the
nearest actual settler, would mark out
some streets and put up, in the midst
of burned stumps, a hotel and a bank.
Favorite sites for "paper towns," ac
cording to John Bach McMaster's "His
tory of the People of the United
States," were at the mouths of small
streams. The buildiugs of one such
town. Port Sheldon, were of large
frame construction and well finished
without, but the bank was empty and
the hotel tenautless.
Port of Havre was another such "pa
per town" on L.ake Erie, near the
mouth of Maumee Bay. But tne site
chosen was low and marshy, and a
score of abandoned cabins were all
that marked its streets. Auother was
"White Rock City," believed to be on
the shore of Lake Huron, at the mouth
of a fine river. The maps represented
a flourishing city on a wide river, with
piers rumilng out Into a harbor, but
one, coasting on a trip along Lake Hu
ron who stopped to see this city, found
none.
OF INTEREST TO
POULTRY GROWERS
The greatest food and medicine on
earth for baby chicks is sour milk, ac-:
cording to poultry grower. More
chicks die during Infancy of white I
diarrhea than" perhaps all other die-'
orders combined. The acid in sour
milk is a poison to the germs of this
dreaded bowel trouble, while the sour
milk Itself Is relished by the young
birds, nnd it Is one of the most nour
Ishlug of all feeds. i
Under apparently the most sanitary
conditions chicks from the incubator
or from hatchings by hens will con
tract serious bowel troubles. Clean
Great Semi-Annual
which we must sell before the end of this season. Our ad man
conditions and careful disinfecting will
often check this trouble and lessen
danger, but they will not always act
as a cure preventive.
Many careful scientific and practical
tests have proved beyond doubt that
sour inilk fed to baby chicks is one
of the very best preventives, and
even cures, for bowel troubles. It is
Important to begin feeding ihe sour
milk to the chicks as soon as they
will drink anything. It Is even recom
mended to pour a few drops of the
sour milk down the throat of each
chick as soon as it is placed in the
brooder and before It Is old enough to
drink or eat. The sour milk acts im
mediately as a bowel disinfectant,
thoroughly cleansing the digestive
tract and starting the young bird out
In life tree from bowel disense and
vigorous In every way. Chicks In the
brooder or with the hen may have sour
milk before them all the time to their
benefit, the milk serving both as a
medicine and a food.
Not only should baby chicks be giv
en all the sour milk they will drink
daily, but it is well to use It in mix
ing their mash feeds. It is as valuable
as sweet milk as a food, and much
safer to use with chicks. And there
is no better food and medicine for
growing chicks and laying hen3.

Great Aid to Progress Of
Those Having So Much
In Common
Washington.—"Organized labor ex
tends its fraternal hand to the farmers
of our country in the effort to protect
all the wealth producers and to make
common cause for justice to both,"
writes President Gompers in American
Federntionist, current issue.
"Those who till the soil of our coun
try ar.d those who perform the work
in the industries of our country have
so much in common that their pro
gram and their course of action must,
of necessity, have much in common.
The paramount needs of the farmer
and the city wage earner are identical.
The great concern of every producer
of wealth is to receive in return for
his labor an adequate reward. The
true measure of the reward received
is in the purchasing power of that re
ward. If, through unfair exploita
tion, such as we are witnessing on
every hand today, the farmers and the
workers are deprived of a just reward
for their endeavor, a grievance is cre
ated. The workers of America on the
farm and in the city have such a

"Those who seek to exploit both the
wage earner of the city and the farm
er naturally seek*to make it appear
that there are differences of principle
in order to create suspicion and an
tagonism between the farmers and
the city workers. In every case where
this is done the point over which it is
sought to make an issue is either a
point of minor importance or a ques
tion of interpretation.
"What the enemies of labor hope
for aH what the enemies of the farm
er hope for is that labor and the farm
ers will disagree among themselves
and because of disagreement weaken
their struggle and make it ineffective."
President Gompers points out that
the right of labor to cease giving ser
vice—to strike—because of unsatis
factory conditions, is no more import
ant to labor than it is to the farmers.
Attention is called to strikes of farm
ers where conditions have been unsat
isfactory.
"In this practice," says President
Gompers, "the farmers in the case of
the cr.p for the present year were ad
vised by the United States department
of agriculture to decrease their acre
age of wheat in order that the reward
for effort, expended might not fall be
low what was deemed a proper re
turn."
