members. Adopted.
On motion a recess until O'Clock was
ordered.

BOARD OF ARBITRATION.
Mr.. Thornton opened out business with
the suggestion that, in some way, a board of
arbitration should be appointed and en-
powered to adjust all differences in grading
wheat, etc.
Mr.. Hobart thought such board
could be appointed by che joint
| action of the chamber Of commerce
| of st. Paul and the board of trade of Min
| neapolis.
Mr.. Brooks felt that this association might
select such board.
To this Mr.. Andrews objected. He felt
the appointment of such board in such
way wouldn't be vested with authority, as it
would did the appointment come from the
chamber of commerce and board of trade.
/
such a board would be paid by
st. Paul and MINI eapolis, and would serve
their masters. Wheat sellers in the country
would feel as if the decision in any event
would 60 in favor of their employers, those
who paid them.
Mr.. Hobart exclaimed and explained that
the wheat paid them.
Mr.. McIlrath suggested and moved that
committee of the wheat buyers be appointed
to confer with the st. Paul chamber of coln-
MERGE and the Minneapolis board of trade
with the view of having such board of arbi-
ration appointed.
| At this juncture Secretary Adams came in,
and MI. Andrews asked if he knew why
none of the Southern Minnesota were pres
emf.
| Mr.. Adams said he had heard from Mr..
Van Duzen. He was in Chicago. None
others had explained tile cause of their alb
sence.

Mr.. Thornton said two points were as vet
not disposed of: that in regard to inspecting

and then in regard to bringing in large
membership.
Mr.. Hobart contended that the member
ship fee was too large, and moved that it be
reduced to So. Carried.

directed to put himself in communication
with all wheat buyers of the State, for the
purpose Of urging them to come into the
association.
| "wHAr Is GRAIN DEALER ?''

tuted grain dealer. Was man who bought
solely on orders accounted dealer
Mr.. Thornton thought so far as the assoc
citation could regulate his business he ought
to be brought in.
It was concluded to have in such a char
| acter.
COMMITTEE OF CONFERENCE.
MI. Hobart called up the motion provide
ing for board of arbitration to be appoint
ed by the cities of st. Paul and Minneapolis,
which was productive of a long discussion.
It was suggested that the two boards would
have to be appointed, as likely the Minneap-
oils board of trade couldn't appoint man
to act in st. Paul, and vice versa.
Mr.. Hobart thought the chamber of COM
| MERGE and board of trade could come to
decision on that point when the matter
was brought to their attention by the COM
| mittee-
Mr.. Lock wanted to know what power that
board of arbitration would have beyond fix
ing grade of wheat in dispute. He favored
in giving it.power over all differences arising
