Seeding Greatly Delayed.

GILBY, N. d., May 20.-There, has
been no exaggeration of general seeding
conditions from the main line of the
Northern Pacific road to this point. The
land is under a food, actually covered
by water 40 that it is impossible to
either plow or seed the wheat. The
wheat area of the upper Red river val

BUSINESS is PARALYZED.
The Milwaukee Strike Has Still a Demor-

MILWAUKEE, May 20.-There is no
change to note tn the street railway
strike situation, except, perhaps, an in
dication that the boycott is breaking.
A number of dealers have notified the
railroad company that they would trade
with it, and that it need send no more
orders to Chicago. Merchants are said
to be preparing to institute a boycott
counter to that Of the strikers, by refus-
ing to sell to small dealers who will not
agree to dispose of their goods to all
comers, regardless of their affiliations.
Meanwhile business in all branches is
paralyzed, and the cars of the street
railway are only meagerly patronized.

FAVOR OF ARBITRATION
Railroad Commissioners De-

Labor Troubles.
Opposed to Use of the Arnv

Would Compel Antagonists to
Submit to Mediation of
Grievances.

WASHINGTON, May 20.-The first ses.
SION OF the eighth annual convention of
state railroad commissioners was held
during the day. There were about 25
members present, representing the states
OF Connecticut, Georgia, Illinois, Iowa,
Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi. Mis-.
souri,, North Carolina, North Dakota,
ONO, pennsylvania, South Dakota and
Virginia. Simeon r. Billings of Mich
lgan, chairman of the convention, pre-
sided. Papers prepared by President
Stickney of the Chicago Great Western
and w. p. ClOugh of the Great North
ern, relating to questions OF interest to
railroad men, were read. The report Of
the committee on the protection Of pub
lie Interests during labor contests
Condemns the Use of the Army
III such emergencies, as it does also the
INDUCTION, the weapon which was used
so effectively during the Chicago rail-
way strikes, as impracticable and often
sive to the genius and spirit of the
American people and permissible only
when better and milder measures have
failed. Arbitration is regarded as the
only safe and satisfactory method of
healing the difficulties that arise be-
tween railroad companies and their en-
plOyes. The report therefore recon-
mends legislation that shall compel the
antagonists TO submit to mediation and
a fair settlement of mutual grievances.

CRooKsTON, Mimi, May 20.-The

The force at work building dyke to
prevent the water encroaching upon
Chase's addition was compelled to aban-
don the task, and at midnight many
hours of hard labor had been swept
away. That portion Of the city, in
which were 80 families, mostly of the
laboring classes, is under water to the
depth of 10 or 10 feet. The hope that
the dyke would be successful deferred
these people from moving early III the

The bridges still hold, but it is impos-
sible to communicate with the south
side of the river except by boat. The
electric light plant has shut down, and
the water is within four inches of the
fires under the boilers at the water
works pumps. These may be stopped at
any time. The city council met at 2
o'clock to prepare for emergencies. A
relief committee has been formed to
care for the destitute. At least 200
families have been forced to leave their
homes, and are being cared for by their
more fortunate neighbOrs.

communication is cut off with that place
no details can be ascertained. Five of

to have been demolished and 10 persons
reported injured, but how badly is not

in the Methodist Conference.
CLEVELAND, May 20-The deadlock
in the Methodist Episcopal general con-
ference over the election Of two bishops
was broken by the selection of DR..
Charles @. McCabe of New York and
DR.. Earl Cranston of Cincinnati. It
was apparent when the delegates as
sembled that they were tired Of the bal
loting and were determined to bring
matters to an issue. The ball was set
rolling by Rev. G. l.. Stafford of Iowa,
who moved that the election of bishops
be postponed indefinitely. This pre-
cipitated lively discussion and the mo-
ton was defeated. Then DR.. A. B.
Leonard of Cincinnati moved that in
future ballots the name of no candidate
be announced who
Received Less Than Ten Votes.
That motion carried and it smashed the
deadlock. On the l4th ballot Mr.. Nc
Cabe's vote jumped from 100 to 25S,
and DR.. Cranston's from 245 to 26l.
That indicated clearly who the leaders
were, and on the 10Th ballot DR.. Nc
cabe's vote rose to 344, or more
than were needed to elect, while DR..
Cranston polled 1928. The next ballot
gave the victory to DIR. Cranston, and
the West and East had both elected
their candidates.
