STRIKE AT THE B0HN'S.
Gcbhard BOhn Says The Men Who
Return to Work Monday Will
Get Paid.

The strike of the employees of the
BOhn Manufacturing company, accord
ing to the statement of q representa-
tive of the company, was due to rash
hess on the part of some of the men,
rather than to the existence Of any real
grievance.
The Bohn Manufacturing company
has been one of the growing industries
of st. Paul 1t started out from hum
He beginnings until it now furnishes
employment to about $50 men.
Throughout the period of depression
since 1892 the concern has continued
its manufacture of hardwood finish
ings and the manage have been per-
sistent hustlers for new business, in
order that the worllmer might con-
tinue employed. Gerhard Bohn, the
president of the company, said yester-
day that no real difficulty existed.
We have" said he, about $50 men
employed here. We pay Oh the 18th
ard 26th of every month-that is, ev-
cry two weeks. Last Saturday, owing
TO the failure of certain remittances to
come to hand, as expected, we found
it desirable to postpone payment for
q few days. There We're some hot
heads among the men who at once be-
San to talk about going on strike
We explained the situation to them,
pointing to the fact that while they
two weeks. the railway companies
usually pay only once month, and,
as no hardship would come to any of
them. we thought that the delay was
a small thing to ask in view of the
fact that we had kept them employed
all through the hard times.
The fact is, when affairs began to
lCOk so badly here and the ability OF
our own people to purchase our wares
was curtailed, we turned in and scour-
ed the territory to the eastward for
orders. with the result that today rs
per cent of the products of our factory
are sold in the Eastern, middle and
central states. But some of the men
insisted on striking. and we quietly
shut down the establishment in order
to give them time 10 cool off and come
to their senses.
About thirty-five men refused to so
out and they have been working right
along. We have informed those who

ISN'T WITH THE TEACHERS
President Zimmerman Criticixes
Them for Wanting That 1898
Salary

The action of the teachers in bring
ing suit against the city of ST. Paul,
FOR salaries unpaid in 1895, has evoked
criticism from President Zimmerman,
of the board of education, who SAYS
they have no standing in court
The teachers understood perfectly
that they were liable to be asked to
work few days without pay" he said
yesterday to a reporter for The
G o b e. When the annual appropria-
ton was made for the schools, it was
seen that it was insufficient, and the
teachers were told that they could work
as long as the money held out or they
could accept a reduction of salary, or
they could donate their services to the
city for few days. They agreed to
continue throughout the year, even if
they had to work a few days without
pay, and thus prevent the schools from
being closed. 1t was thought that was
satisfactory to all The appropriation
lasted almost to the end of the year.
In factit lasted up to within eight days
of the year. So for eight days the
teachers gave their services
Now the teachers come into court
and claim pay l presume it is because
the police have just been awarded
back salaries. But the, teachers do not
stand on the same, footing as the police
The charter fixes the salaries of the
police, but thessalaries of teachers are
subject to the control of the board of
education. There is no direct contract
with the city, and Consequently the
teachers in my opinion cannot recover
pay after agreeing to waive it,
1t seems to me that the teachers of
Minneapolis have offered to relinuuish
one-third of their salaries rather than
see the schools of that city close I
think they should follow the example
set by thsse patriotic women and keep
tnelr part OF their agreement with the
city of ST. Paul"

the Schoch Grocery company. Bernard
Simon, the st. Paul Stove Works, the
Towle Syrup company, the Wolter-
storff-Haskell Range company and the
Swift Packing company.
Admission to the show will be free
The desire is not to make dollars
from the exhibition. but to bring to
the attention of residents of st. Paul
the fact that right here in their own
city are prepared all kinds of food
necessary for the table, and that they
need not go to other cities for table
delicacies. Those exhibits that are not
strictly food articles will give the peo-
pie an idea of the variety OF st. Paul
manufactures.
The supremacy of st. Paul as a bust
ness center will. it is felt, be amply
demonstrated by this show.

POWERS LIGHT HIDDEN
NO MONEY AVAILABLE TO PRINT
HIS REPORTS
to Be Content With Typewriter
Documents and Tracts Because of
PenuriOlus Legislature That He
came Weary of Deficits.

The Minnesota state officials will not
be able to have their reports printed
this year.
This state Of affairs is caused by the
economy of the last legislature in cur
TAXING the state printing appropriation
and the fact that they included in the
general laws of 1897 statute prohibit
ing the state printing commission from
making any contracts or mourning bills
In excess of the appropriation.
In the past 1t was the custom of the
state printing commission to make con-
tracts for state printing in excess of
the appropriation and rely upon the
generosity of the next legislature to
make good the deficit
Nearly every legislature has been
called upon to make good a large de-
nc1ency in the state printing appropria-
ton AT the last session of the legis-
lature 1T was necessary to make up a
deficiency of $4,000, which is double the
amount which the legislature of 1895
appropriated. The total amount eX-
pended during the two fiscal years end
ing July, 1897, for state printing, was
S91, O0O
The temper of the last legislature
was considerably aroused by this I'M
usually large deficit, which resulted in
paltry appropriation of $4,000 being
made for the year 1898 and $50. 900 for
the year ending July, 1899.
1t Will be readily seen that with total
appropriations for the two years of $780,
600. as against $4,000 spent in the two
proceeding years, that Minnesota Off
Gals will have to either get out tracts
or no reports at all. With no prospects
OF an additional amount being set aside
by the next legislature, there is "a
grin and-bear-it" atmosphere around
the state house these days

SWEARING ON THE OWL.
complaint From Woman Nerycu
anlnterurban Conductor to StOD
One PaSsemger'S Profantx

The owl car on the interurban line
has never been a favorite conveyance
Tor respectable people, and it is hardly
to be wondered at. The crowd which
Hills the seats and aisles long before
the car leaves the business portion of
town is not made up of Christian En-
deavorers. 1t is safe to say that the
majority of those aboard are in a
stupid state of intoXication or have
lmb1bed just, enough liquor to make
themselves disagreeably friendly and
the few women who ride between the
cities at the hour of midnight are in
most cases song girls from the second
and third-rate theaters, or just plain
members of the half world. 1t can
readily be imagined that the conversa-
ton on this car is anything but pleas
ant to any ears but those of the par
tclpatOrS themselves
Frequent complaints have been made
to the general Offices and even to the
police, and often after there has been
fight aboard some night. and this is
not an unusual occurrence, or the
crowd has been particularly rough and
complaints have been emphatic, one or
more detectives have been carried on
the owl for a few nights. but as every
one seemed aware of their identity this
had little effect on the trouble in the
long run.
OF one OF TWO nights everything was
quiet, and then the fun began again.
One night last week a Minneapolis
lady, whose duties keep her in st. Paul
a greater share of the early part of
the evening was a passenger on the
owl and met with such a series of mis-
adventures from the disgusting atten-
lions of half-drunken men and boys
that she made a complaint at the st
Paul office the next morning, and in
cidentally mentioned the fact that per-
haps some of the trouble might be due
to the lack of nerve on the part Of
many of the interurban conductors
One morning shortly afterward the
lady went to Minneapolis on an early
car, and during the trip two men, who
We're very much under the influence of
liquor got into a discussion with the
conductor, the latter making vain en-
deavors to keep them from swearing
profusely and loudly. And then the
result of the kick to the general Of
flee became apparent With a sudden
bang the motorman threw open the
door from the front of the car and in
a voice of rage Numbered out:
Here now none of your damned
swearing on this car
The swearing ceased instantly. and
the remainder of the trip was made
in peace.

STOCKYARDS BANK STOCK.
Is 1t Held by individuals or by tn
Bank of Mime
SOtns

Ansel Oppenheim began a suit in the
district court yesterday against o. H.
Sullivan, as receiver of the Union
'Stoclyards bank. and the stockholders
thereof.
Mr. Oppenheim, who is likewise
stakeholder of the Union Stockyards
bank. brings the suit for the purpose
of having it decreed that the Bank of
Minnesota is the real stakeholder in
the Union Stockyards bank, and that
Messrs. Oppenheim, Kalman, William
Dawson Sr., William Dawson Jr., Mr..
Copley and others, simply held the
stock of the Union Stockyards bank in
trust for the Bank of Minnesota.
The court is further asked to decree
that the Bank of Minnesota, as such
stockholder in the Union Stockyards
bank, be held for the stockholders LA
bility in the place of Messrs Open
helm, Kalman, the Dawsons and 9TH
ers who held the stock of the latter
bank in trust for the Bank of Minneso-
ta
The stockholders mentioned held $25,-
900 worth of stock in trust.

upon the powers of the printing COM
mission, has been the labor bureau.
Last year Mr.. l.. G.. Powers, the
statistical gentleman who carries the
ngufeS or the past, present and future
of the state around in his head, got out
a report which cost the farmers of the
state an even $4,000, for which, of
course, they received some very ex-
cellent statistics, on the capabilities of
left-handed man, in certain lines of
business, and the relative powers of a
man using the right organ, in the same
line of business.
The other departments of the ship
OF state has also felt the stringency
of the appropriation, but not to the ex-
tent which Mr.. Powers has felt it, as
the functions of Mr.. Powers office are
almost entirely limited to the report
which he gets out once in two years,
at an enormous expense, not only in
printing, but in labor, and his own
salary, and that of his numerous as
SistantS.
The state treasurer's and auditor
reports VIII be printed whether school
Keeps or not for the constitution eXplic-
lily provides for their printing, but
not one word does it say about Mr.
POWERS report nor does it mention Mr.
POWERS or the office to which he has
been attached for eight years
State printing expert c. c. Whitney
stated yesterday that the amounts
within the province of the commission
TO eXpend, would be disbursed as
Judlclously as possible Aside from the
treasurer's and auditors report the
nancy for the most part would be
spent in defraying the expense of print
ing the blanks and forms for the
various departments. and the legisla-
tive manual A large hole would be
made in the appropriation by the bills
Tor printing the election forms and
blanks, which would begin very short
ly.
Mr.. Whitney also stated that the
amount appropriated would be made to
cover the whole expense of state print
ing this year. The fact that the ap-
preparation for the second year was
$4,000 more than the first would help
matters considerably, but in no event
would the state officers, with two ex-
ceptlons, be able to have their re-
ports printed this year.
That Will mean that the functions
of Mr.. Powers office will be strictly
limited to his sanctum in the state
house and the people in the state at
large will have rest.
