Sioux City Journal, 28: Who has
the key to the hall used by the Lib
eral Labor league of South Sioux
City? Members of the league were
unable to answer the question last
night after they had gathered out
side the building in the cold for the
recrular meetinor. .1. .T. MrAlliotnr
of Dakota City, representative-elect
of the county in the state legislature,
was to make an address. When Mr.
McAllister and the members nf tlm
league arrived at the hall it was
iockcu, and dark. A hurry call was
sent for Fred Martin, one of the
leaders. He arrived, but did nnf
have the key. Then began an un
successful hunt. Every person tried
to remember who had the key.
Everyone shivered. Finally it was
suggested that the meeting be held
in the pool hall near the league hall.
So late was it when the mnntino- wnu
called that the time was devoted to
discussinir an eiirht-liniir hill, whinh
the league wishes to present to the
legislature. It is unrinratnnrl thnf
Mr. McAllister will put the bill be
fore the house. It is probable that
the bill which is to be placed before
the legislature for consideration will
call for an eight-hour day for all
employes with the exception of farm
hands. Several technicalities will
have to be investigated before the
bill can be drafted. Mr. McAllister
will depart this morning for Lincoln.
He will investigate some of the
points which are delaying.the league
in drawing the bill,. He will assume
his seat in the legislature on Janu

Extra Money Allowance
for Telephone Employes
Local Bell Telephone einployes
will shortly participate in nn extra
money allowance authorized by the
company to nssist them in meeting
the increased cost of living, accord
ing to an announcement received by
Manager Randall and signed bv W.
T. Belt, Vice-President and general
manager of the northwestern group
of the Bell svstom. which innlmfoa
all the Bell companies in the states
of Nebraska, Iowa, Minnesota,
North and South Dakota. Mr. Belt
in making the announcement, says:
"By co-operative action on the
part of the companies constituting
this group of the Bell system, cer
tain classes of employes will be aid
ed in meeting the unusual conditions
now existing by an extra cash pay
ment, equivalent to two or three
weeks' salary, according to length
of service.
"Employes who have been in the
service for over one year, and who
are receiving $3,000 or less per year,
will receive the equivalent of three
weeks' pay, while those of the same
class who have been in the service
over three months, but less than
one year, will receive the equivalent
of two weeks' pay. Employes re
ceiving over $3,000, and less than
$5,000 per year, will also participate
in the payment, but not in the Bame
proportion as those receiving the
lesser rate of pay.
"This is not a distribution of prof
its. It is intended to help those em
ployes whose margin between income
and necessities is narrow.
"It is estimated that the total
amount to be distributed in this
group will approximate $300,000,
and in the five states 9,000 employes
will be benefited. Thn bonus will hn
paid to employes about January 1,
