The unfortunate climax which has been reached in the local strike situation is ‘cause for sincere regret. The situation of last evening culminating in the arrclt of men and women is a new experience for Benndji and a regrettable one.. It was ‘hoped, Communications, .for the ' tion' and ,from indlcatiom will ‘receive snch and, every scmblnnce "o ! disorder should pxomptly stamped: ‘out. ' Al Townley came to Bemidji:in an nrophne, 5 4nddrehed a gat)xermg of good cmum, and went on lus ‘way. Now ‘that he has- gone those who hgqr& him are woridering what his message really nmonnted to.: the! farmer. '/ He"is more ‘of ‘an actor than a debator or' orator. and tells: what he has to say by twisting: his- face and turning his body. Throughout his talk there '_was & feeling of disappointment .in'the audience and.evidence that they ‘accepted what' he‘nld more in the light of amusement than seriousness, Townley was' in Fergus ‘Falls recently and in commenting on his visit the. Fm'zlu Fllll,Joumal speaks thusly: Townley uses the man thlt is the most available. If he can'only get a half-Townley man; he takes him for; the time being ‘but just as soon as he is"in a position to get a man he ‘can own' body and soul, he throws over the one who supposes he. is in his ] .good. graces.’ There'is a mnotable example ‘of this in North Dakota where Townley favored United States ‘Senator Gronna until he found h} could , possibly get a more subservient 'senator in the person of Professor Ladd, and so Gronna is thrown on the ash Heap after being'a sort of half-Townley man and Professor Dadd is given the Nonpartisan ) " He uttered not a single phrase of ) iconstructive pohcy, ‘but.-on the contrary did his best to. create a- chum between the town folk and Turfied ou t m March 4 New Dally and Monthly Record Estabhshed March broke all productlon records ever made by the ‘Ford Motor Company, Detroit, both for the number of .« cars produced in one day and one month. March 27th, 4,256 cars left th ,assembly lmes at the home plant and: branches, while the record - for the month was 94,299 cars. These figures represent production in the United States only, and do not take mto conslderatxon the Canadlan, or foreign plants. ? o Hete ( <an illustration of the amount of railroad cars it would take to ship thls vast swarm of Fords. Loaded six in a freight car with fifty freight cars to each train, it ‘would take 314 trains to carry them, and there would be enough left over to start a paude. that after those had been given an opportunity to rehlm to, work, who wished to do so, the remainder Zwould maintain the same standard ‘of ‘orderliness .- they had during the first month of the strike and . mot 'interfere with those who wished to work. ¢ Increasing -~ préssure and tantalizing ' ntnke methods however have characterized the attitude of the, strikers since Tuesday and finally resulted in the arrest last’ night of three women and‘ seven men -upon :the charge of “using lxngulge tending Noththstandmg the fact that productlon in Apnl dropped to less than fifty per cent. of normal; hecause of the strike, Ford officials say that fo' the fiscal year, which ends July 3lst they will have attained' the million mark of production.. league. support. Neither has Townley ‘much time for the turncoats as he showed in his remarks here in Fergus. Falls in referring to someone who had kicked him out and. then invited him back. It is . iot known whether he called on Mr. Louis Keane ~~ while: here or not but it was Mr: Kcanes epntle directed against Mr.-Townley that was the opening gun which announced all over the state that Town- ley, was not a welcome man in’ loyll commumhes S DY o AL O Dunng the stnke, material was brought in by trucks, boats, electric freight and every ‘other possible way, but it served mainly to keep:Ford men at‘work, rather than .to maintain any semblance of the regular output. = Assembled cars were shipped by ‘water where possible, but most of them were driven from Detroit to their destination. to provoke an auault 2 < The number-of those arrested in no way indicates' the numher of guilty ones nor were, those srrested any worse than many others who were not arrested. Scores of othere, mlny of them women and children, used the same nzunge ‘as those arrested but did 80 at a distance where they could not be appre- ‘hended. The . presence. ot women ‘demonstrators is hnrd to account for, where women are not employed, _unless it be that, being women, they considered themselves immune from apprehension. This, how- ever, was, not. the case ‘last night and when women undertake to step into men’s places in such ‘cir- cumstances they cannot but expect to be required to conform to the same laws .as men. When women use the plea of having babies at home as a means to render themselves immune from arrest they apparently forget that the place for them in the first place is at home looking after their babies and not in a crowd of strikers.

Thomason, former editor: of the Iconaclsst, did himself “proud” when he introduced the ‘'speakers. “yell I see we got a few bulsheviks wid us dis afternoon,” he said. ““You men should not:-believe what' the Bemidji Pioneer,’ ‘the Minneapolis “Yurnal’ and the Pioneer Press tell you, but should md the Leader and the other Townley gospels.’ He did not say anything against the Red Flame or the Min- nesota Issues; and.we therefore infer his peelmmon has_ been. granted that all goad nonpamsans may ‘|, read them.
