a large number of Japs on the island,
but no land is now being sold to
them, but is being purchased by
Amcricans, even at three times the
real value in order to get them out
of the country, which eventually will
be done. We are all glad America
got our 'islands."

his county, which is one of the best

Business in Good Condition.
The Farmers Union Auditing De
partment of Omaha completed an au
dit of the Farmers I'nion Store and
Elevator at Union this week cover
ing the year 1920. The store
showed a net loss for the year of
some four hundred dollars, on a vol
ume of business of nearly 540,000.
However, preparations were made
for this a year ago in the mainten
ance of a surplus account which
more than tides them over, leaving
considerable undivided profits on
hand for the opening of the new
year. In addition to this they dis
counted their inventory ten per
cent, leaving their present stock
nearly $12,000, a conservative fig
ure. The elevator fared better showing
a net profit over and above expenses
of over $1200, in the face of heavy
losses on both corn and wheat at the
time of the slump. Their volume of
business amounted to over $110,000.
A year like this co-operative enter
prises that "break even" figure they
are ahead. Their salvation has been
the accumulation of a surplus fund,
left in the business for the common
good of all its membership alike.
FOE FEAR OF A RIOT.
"If you wish to save our drug 6tore

This message received from Gary,

proof how great is the number of
those who know that Triner's Bitter
Wine is the best remedy for poor

spoken of in the Encyclopaedia Brit

GUT MADE IN WOOL
WORKERS' WAGES
Reduction of 22y2 Per Cent in Wages
Made by the American
Woolen Company
Lawrence, M"ass., Jan. 10. The
public attitude is against maintain
ing the wages of textile workers at
the high war time rates. William M.4
Wood, president or the American
Woolen company, said tonight in ref
erence to the reduction of 22 Vi per
cent in the wages of the operatives
in tli ecompany's fifty mills an
nounced today. This cut brought
into the lower wage levels of 'the tex
tile trade in New England the last
important manufacturing interest in
volved. Addressing the overseers of the
American Woolen company's four
mills here Mr. Wood said that the,
decision to readjust wages was reach
ed "with a full regard for what is
just" to the workers. "If the pre
vailing rate of wages could have been
maintained I would have been only
too glad," he said, "but the attitude
of the public is against it. They
will not pay the prices which the
present wages involves."
"The present situation is. it seems
to me, one of the most difficult we
have ever met.
"We have had several years of ac
tive and prosperous business. Sud
denly we are called on to face the
most drastic readjustment business
has ever known. It invariably
means reduction of prices for our
goods, reduced profits and reduced
wages.
"The first important thing to do
is to keep our mills running so far
as possible. To do this we must get
orders and to sell our cloth we must
manufacture it at a price that the
public is willing to give.
"The first thing therefore, is to re
duce our costs. We have to cut down
unnecessary costs. We have to cut
out extravagance and cultivate econ
omy. I am convinced we cannot re
sume operations unless our labor
costs are reduced."
Wood said notwithstanding cur
tailment of . operations the company
had been accumulating cloth. "It
has been unable to resell its can
celled orders or to secure new orders
for what little cloth we have been
manufacturing." he said. "First,
we propose immediately to sell the
cloth on hand at great reduced pric
es. This will be done at a substan
tial loss, but we must meet it. It
will be the company's loss. It will
in no way affect your wages. Then
we propose immediately to make the
biggest effort we have ever made to
get business to run our mills. To do
this we must reduce not only our
profits but our costs as well and
among others our labor costs. If
we do not do this, we must close our
mills."
South Bend. Ind., Jan. 10. The
Oliver Chilled Plow works today an
nounced a cut in the price of all
horsedrawn implements of from eight
to twenty per cent.
LABOR ASKS PROTEC
TION FROM IMPORTS
Objects to Gates Being Thrown Open
to Foreign Product "It is High'
Crime,'' Morrison Declares
Washington. Jan. 10. Protection
for the American laborer from for
eign "imports" on an equality with
the protection accorded American
products by tariff laws was asked of
the senate immigration committee to
day by Frank Morrison, secretary of
the American federation of labor.
He added that the position of the
federation was that of straight-out
protection without reservation for a
period of two years from alien labor.
"We object," he said, "to throwing
the doors wide open, flooding the
American labor market with cheap
European labor."
He said that reports just received
from labor officials in 141 cities show
ed the number of unemployed to be
1.819,272. and said he would no;
"dare estimate what the total of all
cities would show."
Figures submitted by Mr. Morrison,
showed that the unemployed in San
Francisco numbered 15,000 and Se
attle 9,000.
"It is a high crime." he continued,
"for any man in the face of these
figures to advocate the bringing of
millions of men from Europe and add
them to the unemployed already here.
The flood is ready to come. Official
figures of the labor department show
that 101.000 came in October and
103.000 in November. Eliminating
those who returned to Europe, these
figures would mean a net immigra
tion of 784,000 a year."
Mr. Morrison declared the Amer
ican workman was entitled to "sus
taining employment." The witness
said labor from Mexico should be ex
cluded as a "menace to American
laborers in border states."
Secretary Morrison was preceded
by a delegation of business men rep
resenting construction industries and
manufacturers. John R. Wiggins of
Pennsylvania, leader of the delega
tion, opposed the Johnson bill and
declared arguments that "a flood of
Europeans was imminent," were "ab
solutely fallacious." He asked for
modification or elimination of liter
ary tests and contract restriction
laws.

HARDING OPPOSED
TO BIG CEREMONY
In Interest of National Thrift He Re
quests No Elaborate Program At
tend His Taking Oath cf Office
Marion, O.. Jan. 10. In the in
terest of national thrift. President
elect Harding tonight requesred olii
cials arranging lor his inanimation
to abondon all plans for an inaugur
al ceremony.
In a telegram to F. II. McLean,
chairman of the inaugural committee
at Washington. Mr. Harding de
clared he preferred simply to take
the oath of orlice. deliver a brief ad
dress and then take up his duties.
He said it would make his position
very unhappy if the outlay for an
elaborate inaugural created the im
pression of extravagance.
"I am familiar with the custom of
erecting a platform and providing
seats for guests who witness th'
ceremony." said Mr. Harding, "but
it will be most pleasing to me to
have this ceremony take place with
in the capitol or on the east porch,
without u single extra preparation.
This will require no expense, and
we shall be joint participants in an
example of economy as well as sim
plicity which may be helpful in seek
ing our normal ways once more."
He also telegraphed Senator Knox
of Pennsylvania, in charge of the
congressional end of the plans, sug
gesting that the proposal to erect
stands on the capitol grounds be
abondoned. This proposal has been
the subject of heated debate in con
gress. Plans Abandoned.
