Woolen Mills Strike Sparks Open Letter from Local Press
The eight week Textile Workers strike at Shuler and Benninghofen Woolen Mills continues with little chance of settlement. A lengthy local statement accuses mill owners of provoking the labor dispute, cites wage increases, hour reductions, and a supposed bonus system, and urges public support for the workers while criticizing management. The piece defends labor unions and endorses Ohio labor laws as protective measures and laments the impact on the city’s name.

Conserving War Produce with Old Time Storage Tips
The State War Board urges thrift while teaching a simple method to store cabbage and other vegetables for winter. Dig a 4 foot trench, lay cabbage with heads down, add side trenches for drainage, cover with straw and 12 inches dirt, then allow gradual thawing to preserve freshness. Pack in cool, furnace-free spaces to keep produce crisp.
