MATERIAL increases in wages were
granted in the year 1927 by various
boards of arbitration under an Act of
Congress providing for arbitration as the
method of settling wage disputes.
In 1926 the “North Western” system
lines employed 56,237 individuals whose
aggregate wages were $93,026,264. This
amount was distributed over a large ter
ritory, briefly stated as follows:
Illinois ....
Wisconsin . . . 26,005,004
Michigan . . . 3,393,241
Minnesota . . . 9,326,249
Iowa. 17,642,462
North Dakota . . 39,827
South Dakota . . 4,387,558
Nebraska . . . 7,180,887
Wyoming . . . _1,178,872
Total $93,026,264
In addition the “North Western” system
in 1926 paid for materials and supplies,
including fuel and equipment,$39,425,591.
A very large proportion of this money
was paid out by various companies to their
employees in the form of wages.
The “North Western” system also paid
taxes in 1926 to the nine states in which
it operates in the amount of $8,212,02 7,
| and to the Federal Government in the
amount of $2,340,364.
on his crest, no beauty in bis caw.
His flying tactics have no grace while
flopping through the sky; it is a most
outlandish pace—the crow’ is far from
spry. But still his numbers, far from
few, grow gerater every year; each
day a larger black-winged crew Is
raised to caw and jeer. We wonder
why and this we found—it’s mighty
queer but true—he has a policy that’s
sound and always pulls him through.
He is alert to every need confronting
thieving crows; to every danger he
gives heed—no hunter gets too close.
If we would heed as does the crow the
pitfalls in our way, we’d have a virtue
few folks know to help us every day.

FRANCIS WELSH RECEIVES
COMPENSATION INSURANCE
Docket 11, Number 370.
O’Neill, Nebraska.
Francis Welsh, by Wm. Welsh, next
friend vs. R. L. Arbuthnot.
Insurance Carrier: General Cas.
& Sur. Co.
On July 7, 1927, while in the em
ploy of defendant as a laborer, plain
tiff bumped his right knee on the ce
ment floor of the garage while chang
ing a wheel on a Chevrolet car. The
next day he went to the doctor.
On July lfith the doctor sent him
to the hospital at Norfolk for an
operation on the knee. A petition
was filed December 12, 1927, and a
hearing was had in O’Neill February
7, 1928.
Compensation was allowed for tem
porary disability from and including
July 15, 1927, to and including Aug
ust 14, 1927, at $8.34 each week; to
gether with the following medical,
hospital and traveling expense and
medicinesl
Medicines, $4.45; Campbell Clinic,
Norfolk $35.00; Lutheran Hospital,
Norfolk, $37.25; Dr. J. P. Gilligan,
O’Neill, $51.00; traveling expenses to
PRACTICAL ACHIEVEMENT.
In placing before the people the
reasons why the government should
continue under the control of the Re
publican party, that party wishes to
place its claim on the basis of prac
tical achievement.
If a policy works and produces pros
perity, the party believes it is a good
one, even if theoretically arguments
may seem against it. And if a sus
teni does not work, it needs modifica
tion.
The party points hack to the history
of the past fifty years, and asks the
people to note that when business de
pressions have occurred, they have
usually been under the administration
of the Democratic party. They flirted
with greenbackism, and they went in
for free silver, and they tried out free
trade. All these policies when put to
the test or threatened, failed to show
themselves adapted to practical life.
The people turned back to the Re
publicans, as the party hat was bound
to follow good business policies that
would promote general welfare.
To-day it is hard to say what the
Democratic party does stand for, ex
cept to oppose many of the things
that the Republican party wants to
do, and which according to the tests
of practical judgment, would remove
difficulties in the way of business and
industry.
The Republican party stands for
low taxes and government economy,
for putting the government functions
under good business management, for
giving business freedom to expand so
it can keep labor busy and pay good
wages. It feels that the wheels of
industry turn faster and more regu
larly when there is not too much
political interference with them. It
favors all possible help to'agriculture.
It levies a protective tariff so that
the home industries will have the best
chance to sell their product to the
American people. Under those poli
cies the country has prospered and it
will continue to do so.
