The abandonment of C shaft at Pabst mine shifts ore hoisting to the new H shaft on the foot wall. Oliver company operations move fully to foot shafting, with Townsite shaft as the last hanging shaft. Prospects include rail and streetcar adjustments and long term mining permanence, plus a record month without lost time accidents in July.

Farmers' Troubles Reflected in Political Shift
A Boston Commercial excerpt argues Minnesota farmers blamed both major parties for wartime and postwar price distress. It cites government wartime controls on wheat and meat, surplus stocks, and ensuing price declines, plus wage rises for organized labor and rail coal sectors as amplifying factors. The piece calls for immigration limits, open shop, and curb on labor groups to restore farmer prosperity and general liberty.

Political divisions and peace pledges face Republican opposition
The article notes partisan tensions as Republicans oppose a form of international agreement while a pro peace stance from the author’s party seeks to uphold American independence. It also reports on local industry where the Zimmerman mine in Iron River suspends operations and a related furnace closes in Ironton Ohio, with workers finding positions elsewhere amid a regional labor shortage. Canning demonstrations led by Ruth Wheatley urge increased fruit and vegetable preservation, and bids for coal supply to Ironwood’s municipal building are sought until August 28.
