1156 of the 2521 establishments in
which there had ben walkouts from
April 6 to October 6, 1917, acording
to the report of the National Indus
trial conference. The greater part
of the plants failed to comply with
requests for information, says the
report. Increased cost of living and
failure of employers to foresee its
effect, discontent ot labor over tha
supposed excessive profits made by
employers; Increased independence
of workers due to labor shortage, in
equality in wages paid in govern

LONELY FOUR-BIT PIECE
N
A measly four-bit piece was the
entire financial support received by "
the wife of Christian Hanson, during
their marled life of three years, acord-
ing to Grace B. Hanson's divorce suit
brought Tuesday In tbe circuit court
The Hansons were married In 1915,
and the wife claims she was at all
times compelled to earn her own living
and provide tor herself, although her
husband waa an able bodied man. '
The flrty-cent piece, the wife claims,
was soon afterwards demanded by her
husband, so that she really feels that
her. support has been nothing what
ever. 'Finally, the complaint states, the
husband told her he was about to em
bark to South America, and added the
parting thrust that he had "gotten
enough of the whole outfit."
With that he departed, and has since
remained away from his home, and
the wife feels that these various acts
constitute grounds for a divorce on
cruel and Inhuman grounds. She asks
that her name, Grace Cookerline, be
restored.
Lloyd A. Garrison was indifferent
and cold toward his spouse, Alta M.
Garrison, according to the wife's com
plaint filed today and in addition, to
these domestic shortcomings he had a
habit of gambling away his earnings,
the wife states. In June of 1917, he
went away, ostensibly to Seattle, and
has not been heard ot since. There Is
one child, Naomi, in the Garrison
home, and the mother desires custody .
of this minor.
