CAUGHT ON THE Fly.
Mejor Edwards, OF The Fargo ARGUS,
Called on for $4,000.

Called on for $4,000.
Major A. W. Edwards, editor and publisher
of the Fargo daily Argus, has been in Waeh.
ington for some weeks past booming the terri
toral division. He reached St. Paul yesterday
morning on his return home. Now the major
has always liked st. Paul, and he never passes
by If he can possibly spare the
time to stop. He did not pass by
yesterday, but the reporter is of the opinion
he wishes he had.
Among the callers upon the major YESTERDAY
was Sheriff Richter, who, apoIogiznp for the
unpleasant intrusion, served the papers upon
IN a suit commenced against him by Charles
R. Graf, manufacturer of the widely known
Snow Flake baking powder. claiming dam
ages in $40, 600 for libel. Messis. Werner &
Stevens are Mr.. Crafts attorneys.
In his complaint plaintiff alleges that he
has been and is engaged In St. Paul In the
manufacture and sale OF baking powder
known and called the Snow Flake; that the
substitution OF alum or any poisonous sub
stance for cream tartar would be Injurious to
health, and be q criminal offense; that such
poisonous substances in such powders
cannot be detected in any mere
casual inspection, and therefore that
the value OF such manufacture must largely
depend on the reputation OF for purity built
for it and that such poisonous substances
have never been used in the Snow Flake bak.
ing powder manufactured by him.
Further, that the defendant Is the editor and
publisher of the Fargo Daily Argus; that de.
l,ndant with full knowledge of all the facts
recited above as the purity OF said Snow
Flake baking powder, did, on the
18th day Of March, 1889, compose and publish
in said paper the following works:
~. G. Hoagland, president of the Royal
Baking Powder Company, OF New York, has
written letter to the Pioneer Press going
for c. r. Croft, who pretends to manufacture
what Is called the Snow Flake powder at st.
Paul. President Hoagland quotes from DR..
Love, government chemist, who analysed
various powders in the market, and shows
that the Royal Baking Powder contains
twenty-five per cent. more strength, and Is
pure article in every respect, while Croft, and
host of other imitators, are substituting
alum phosphate and other poisonous ingrcdf.
ents for cream OF tartar, besides giving short
weights. According to Hoa gland, Croft is an
unmitigated adventures.
That all the statements In this publication
were and are false, and defendant had no rea-
son for suhposlng to the contrary, but that In
publishing the accusation he intended to and
did lrjure plaintiffs businets by creating
lack of confidence in the purity of his manu-.
facture, thus greatly diminishing the demand
for it, by all of which he has been diminished
to the amount of $4,000, and for which he
demands judgment against the said A. W.
Edwards as aforesaid. Il
Now let the major rise and explain.

THE NEWSPAPERS AND STRIKERS.

The truth seems to be at last dawning
on the minds of the leading journalists
OF the East that the frequent strikes
among the laboring classes of that Sec
ton are due more frequently to con-
spiracies among employers to bring about
such condition of affairs than to the un-
reasonable exactions of the employees
The Spinners' Union,4 at Fall River,
Mass, has recently issued circular in
regard to this constantly recurring source
of strike, which has produced marked
impression by its moderate tone and the
candor and good sense with which these
evils are reviewed. Referring to com
promise, whereby the operatives were to
go to work last Monday, which had
been violated by the mill owners, the
secretary says:
1--WE regret that the strike has not ended,
though no effort has been spared On our pari
to effect an amicabe and satisfactory settle
ment without humlliating the members par
ticipating in the contest, We are strongly of
the opinion that the trouble could be speedily
settled II good Judgment and wisdom were
allowed to prevail. For the employers OF
laborers to want it all their own wsy, and the
employs to submit To ali humiliation when
they know wrong Is existing, is both uuwise
and unjust. Capital and labor cannot afford
TO be so widely separated in a country like
This, which is destined TO be the greatest com
mercial nation 10 the world. 1t is oply foolish
obsiinacy aud false pride which keep them 80

RQYl no hn, Ill,
are at Issue will be settled by boards of con-
ciliation. little more of the milk of human
kindntss doled out from the employers to fht
employees in this city would prevent in the
future many petty troubles
1t would seem that nothing short of
assimilation and dishonesty would pre-
vent harmony between employers and
laborers responding to the sentiments
and conciliatlng spirit of this circular.
The New York Sun in commenting on
the action of the Spinner's Union, saws:
1t would seem that men aiding such view
ought to be IN mood fsvorble to fair co m
promise. provided such a compromise is
really wanted
The violation of the contract en-
tered into with the operatives by
the mill owners; the practice of re-
ducing wages at time when the neces
saries of life are highest, to say nothing
Of the frequent orders to run On half
time without notice to The operatives
have ali undoubtedly contributed to bring
about the present labor troubles IN the
States OF the East. Harmony between
capital and labor can never be secured in
this way, and considering the vast inter.
ests at stake, the newspapers of that
section have not commenced to expose
the true inwardness Of these truths anv
too soon,
