To The INDEPENDENT: In reply to an ar
ticle in Sundays INDEPENDENT, headed IA
card from a unionist," I wish to saw that I
am sorry this unionist has taken wrong
view of the intents and purposes of at least
largo majority of the founders Of the
Builders' and Manufacturer exchange.
He dweiis at length upon the ''taify'' used
in the preamble. etc. Now, this ''tadyr
means just what it sets forth, and think
if the unionist will read the preamble, con-
stitution and bylaws over carefully and
give them more considerate study, he will
find that the proposed committee md conn
missioners ON labor. from the exchange to
act with like committee from labor unions,
goes to show and prove that the exchange
is in harmony and willing to recognise,
consider and act upon any questions that
may arise between them.
wish further to state that the exchange
does not know Of the labor unions having
anv article or clause in their constitution
or bylaws, forcing them to recognize only
such persons, merchants, manufacturers or
dealers as may belong to the Builder and
Manufacturers exchange. Why then try to
make the members OF the exchange subject
to the rules and lava of the labor unions
without some concession upon their part
toward the exchange? This is Just what

THEIR SIDE OF 1T.

Two Communications in Reply t.
"Union's" Card of Sunday.
The card in The INDEPENDENT of yester-
day signed Union" concerning the Build.

ated no little discussion. The following
replies were handed in yesterday for pub
cation:
Asks Him to Join.
To THE INDEPENDENT: II "Union'' would
take the pains to inform himself in regard
to the constitution and bylaws of the
Builders and Manufacturers exchange he
would readily see the folly of entering into
such silly TRADE against some of the
members who, he alleges, are inimical to the
union carpenters and hint on their anihila-
ton. If "Union'' would make one-half OF
the effort to SO grade the stock and not try
to prove it all gilt-edge4 he would be in
better business than trying to make people
believe what he cannot prove. have seen
several articles in the Helena press devoted
to the interests of the unions and not Que
has answered them. l think it about time
that the other side Was heard from. They
say among other things that certain con-
the union men on work. That may be in
isolated cases. It is but natural that some
should be lower than others; for instance,
the Denver block, which was let for one half
its actual value to union men. aH am
rightly informed. this is only one OF many
like contracts which have been taken and
looked after with special view of keeping
1t out of the hands of non-union men.

right or pretense one man or set of men by
whatever name they may be knownl have to
dictate to another in regard to his own bus

practiced by Kid on the open seas and bv
many notorious men who are q by-word to
the whole world. If such things are al.
lowed in this free country we shall indeed
have reign of terror. When
men so belittle themselves az to
sneak into mans house or on
his work to pry into his private affairs, he
is no better than mongrel and deserves to
be kicked out.

there is some Improvement to be made in

TO GET THE FLOUR HAUL
Is Alleged as the Reason for the
Northern Pacific's Reported

Is Alleged as the Reason for the
Northern Pacific's Reported
Move.
n. G. Thrall, assistant to President
Cakes, of the Northern Pacific, will
neither confirm nor deny the report
that the Northern Pacific road has pur-
chased controlling interest in the st.
Paul & Duluth. General Manager
Plough. of the Duluth road, was away
yesterday and no authoritative state
ment could be secured from any other
official. There is a general opinion that
the report will turn out to be correct.
1t has long been the aim of the North
ern Pacific road to secure direct line
from the Twin Cities to Duluth.
The Northern Pacific at present
carries millions of bushels of
wheat to the Twin Cities. but
owing to no direct communication with
the lake, the exported flour from this
state must go over the Great Northern,
st. Paul d Duluth or Milwaukee-at
least these are the roads to get the bulk
of the trade. The advantage to the
Northern Pacific to obtain control of the
Duluth road is therefore apparent. The
publication of the report at this time is
significant from the fact that the annual
meeting of the Duluth road will be
held three weeks hence, Oct. Z. If the
Northern Pacific people have secured a
controlling interest in the road, they
will then certainly show their hand. 1t
was admitted yesterday that the North
ern Pacific held a good part of the Du-
luth stock; the debatable question is
whether the Willard road has secured
sufficient stock to give it control of the
road.

Opening Events.
The gymnasium of the Y. NC. A. on
WabaSha and Ninth was crowded last
evening by the members of the associa-
lion and their friends, the occasion be-
ing the first exhibition drill of the ath-
letic class for the season. r. L. Yves
ton, the director of physical training,
assisted by Messrs. j. Murphy, Ed Max
well, Carl Lind, Charles Watering and
Lester MabOn. went through number
of difficult evolutions on the suspended
trick rings and parallel bars, evoking
loud applause for the neat manner in
which the various feats were accom-
plished. AID exhibition of lifting dumb
bells and tumbling, by Ed Maxwell and
Carl Lind, was very effective, and
proved that the physical training they
had received under the direction of
Prof. Weston was of the highest order.
A Quartette composed of MessrS. Mus
sey. Eddy, Mungie and Thayre con-
tributed number of part songs which
were very successful. Before the close
of the exhibition Prof. Weston put the
entire audience through number of
evolutions known as ''the business
mems dumb-bell exercise" This

every day from II to IL a. M, and is
intended for business men who are con-
fined to the desk and contract the dan

at the close of the proceedings an
nounced that Saturday afternoon, Oct
4, a grand amateur athletic contest
would take place on the Kittson track,
in which many well-known amateurs
from all parts of the state would con-
test, including Hugh Campbell, of ST.

THE EIGHT-HoUR FIGHT.
Council Still at Loggerheads,
Though Back Paw Goes,

AT the special meeting of the council,
held last evening for the purpose of adj
justing the pay of the city employees,
there were present Aid. Banholzer,
Bielenberg, Bott, Conley. Copeland.
Costello, Dobner, Dorniden, Gehan,
McNamee, Melady. Minea, Sanborn.
Sullivan, Van Slyke and Mr.. President,
the only absentee beng Judge Flan-
drau. A caucus was held by the
disciples of the eight-hour regime in
one Of the committee rooms. Upon the
meeting being called to order, a resolu-
ton was introduced by Aid. Gehan fix
ing the pay for labor at sl.5O per day
after Sept. Is. An amendment by Aid.
Sanborn adding that ''for all laborers.
clerks, mechanics and employees, the
hours should be ten,n was accepted,
and the resolution passed unanimously.
1t was also embodied i'll the resolution
that the laborers should receive S1.50
per day for eight hours work from
Aug. 10 to Sept. Is.
Aid. Gehan then moved to fix the
pay at $3.50 per day of eight hours after
Sept. Is. Aid Sanborn raised the par
liamentary point that the resolution was
out of order under Council Rule 80.
Aid. Gehan moved the suspension of
Rule 80 of the standing rules. A vote
being taken the motion passed, and the
rule stood suspended. Aid. Gehan then
moved to reconsider the original resolu-
ton. Aid. Sanborn held that Rule 80
alton was possible, the rule al
lowing such reconsideration having
been suspended, in which opinion
he was sustained by the chair,
who overruled the motion. Aid. Dob
ner appealed from the decision of the
chair. Aid. Gehan moved to reconsider
the motion to suspend the rule, and
Aid. Sanborn remarked that the chair
could entertain no such motion after an
other had been made. The wrangle on
parliamentary order was ended by the
chairs granting Aid. Dobner's right to
an appeal. The vote on the appeal
stood eleven for and four against. Aid.
Gehan then moved the reconsideration
overruled by the chair. Another ap-
peal by Aid. Dobner, and the
ruling of the chair was again de-
before. The fun was kept up pom on this is
line until the final situation was that a
settlement had been effected in as far
as the payment of the laborers 81. so per
day from Aug. Is to Sept. Is is con-
eerned. The matter of the number of
hours to constitute days work in the
future remains unsettled. Aid. Cope

THE wILBURs HAVE GONE.
Farewell rendered In a Benefi,
to Dean and KOhuIe.

Farewell rendered In a Benefit
to Dean and Kohn1e.
The event of the Kohnle-Dean benefit,
which occurred at the Harris theater
last night, was the farewell Of the Will
bur season in this city. There is no
controverted opinion prevalent in this
city about the Wilbur Opera company.
The verdict of st. Paul is unani-
nous in a favorable decision
to the aggregation which has
been reared by the Wilburs. A more
substantial attestation of the appreciaL
ton in which the company and it's lead:
ing members are held by the public
could not have been manifested than
the applause voiced last night byla
house so crowded as to leave the foyer
we'll filled with eager friends and wit
nesses OF the company's farewell. The
benefit to Manager Dean and Come
dian Kohnle was a significant
success in every sense. The
finances certainly aggregated good
sum. and the programme was cheap at
that. The opera 'sErminie" was pre-
scented in a spirited manner, and spe-
cialties without end were introduced to
enliven the entertainment. Benefits are
usually wearying in all save the princi-
pal features. but with the programme
before the house last night the delight
was full. Mr.. Kohnle was the principal
exponent of the comedy parts. in which
he was assisted by that jolly fell
low, Mr.. IRE Denick. who again re-
peated his many characteristic methods.
FTaulyn w. Lee recited an original COM
position which repeatedly threw the
audience into hearty laughter. In pre-
senting his part Mr.. Lee represented
the members of the press in a manner
which was deservedly and loudly APP
plauded. But the special bits of enter
tainment were numerous and the hour
was creeping upon midnight when the
entire company appeared upon the stage
and i'll aptly chosen quotations bid
adieu to the st. Paul public
Flowers were showered in ex-
travagant profusiOn upon Miss Kir-
win, Miss Baker, Mrs. Kohnle, Belle
Hamilton, Miss Howard and other mem
berS, and the theater was scented from
pit to dome with a fragrance that only
heightened the air and effect of one of
the most select audiences which ever
sat in patronage within the portals of
the Harris. AS the curtain closed upon
the final scene while the company were
singing ''Auld Lang Syne," the house
rang with all acclaim which echoed the
meaning to the praise of the Wilburs.
On Monday the company opens an en-
gagement in Milwaukee.
