(By United Press) Cleveland, Ohio, Aug. 31.—Mem- bers of five big railroad brotherhoods, whose headquarters are here, are vot- ing directly = on the question of a strike. Copies of ballots have been sent to the half million membership of the five unions. (By United Press) : Baltimore, Md., ~Aug. 31.—The threatened .railroad strikes will not materialize.” This was expressed to the United Press today by Daniel Willard. ' Wiltard bBased his assump- tion on the sanity of the great bulk of the railroad workers. He denied in detail charges that railroad managers are trying to fo: ment strikes for the purpose of forc- ing the government to guarantee| their securities. “I don’t know why a strike vote is being taken, or on what grounds the strike can be based,” Willard said. “Everything that has been done so far in regard to wages. and working conditions was in accord with the de- cision of the railroad labor board.” SAMPLE OF KELLASTONE .STUCCO WORK COMPLETED . The first sample of Kellastone stuc- co work done in Bemidji has been completed at the plant of the Matson- Ritchie Lumber company. The office of this firm has been finished with this product and presents a beauti- ful appearance. The stucco coating is composed of ground granite of dif- . ferent colors embedded in a magane- site coating. The work was done by Louis Laur- itzen and is without ' question the most beautiful in appearance of any stucco coating yet used in Bemidji. | The cost is slightly higher than the common stucco cement finish. The coloring is such that different shades may be obtained by the use of larger or smaller quantities of dark or light colored granite. | Many resident homes in the larger | cities are being covered with this fin- ish andit has been found to be eco- nomical and practical, according to reports of home. owners ~who have used it.
