LABOR WAR BEGINS
FREIGHT HANDLERS AND TEAM
STEERS AGAINST RAILROADS.

BOSTON, March 10-After nearly six
weeks of skirmishing. the dreaded labor

and the two great railroad corporations.
the New York New Haven & Hartford
and the New York C-ptral s. Hudson
River. the latter locally known as the
Boston & Albany. broke out today.
Tonight the outlook is that unless pow
erful agencies are speedily invoked TO
compel peace, the struggle viii have a
far-reaching effect. The strike, which Is
a sympathetic one. already Involves 5000
men in and about Boston.
Tomorrow the local employees of the
great express companies, the Adams, and
the New York and Boston, two companies
which handle practically all the fast
freight in Southern New England. will
refuse to work, while smaller bodies Of
organized labor, such as the brewery
transfers and the piano movers, as well
as freight handlers III East Boston, will
be idle.
On the other hand the New York, New
Haven & Hartford railway, after. sue
ceeding today in moving considerable
freight by Italian labor. will augment the
force tomorrow, and the Boston & Albany
expects to have a large number Of new
men at work in its freight she's. The
contest is being closely watched on all
sides by labor leaders.
Nearly every labor union in this city
met tonight to discuss the situation. The
predictions were that the 'longshoremeu.
numbering about 1000 would strike to-
gether with 1900 knights OF Labor freight
handlers employed by the Boston az Maine
road, and 900 men IN other unions, when
their assistance is needed. If all these la.
bOrers cease work, the striking force will
be over 1900 men.

MERGER OF BANKS
METROPOLITAN BANK CONSOII-
DATES WITH NORTHWESTERN
NATIONAL OF MINNEAPOLIS
CAPITAL STOCK $1,000, 900
Consolidation Becomes Effective To-
day-EmpIOyes of Metropolitan
Bank Will BE Taken
Care OF.

Negotiations were yesterday completed
whereby the Northwestern National bank
and Metropolitan bank were consolidated
under the name Northwestern National
Bank of Minneapolis.
This merging of interests will take eff
feet this morning, when all business of
the two concerns will be transacted in
the banking rooms of the Northwestern
bank in the Guaranty Loan building.
This announcement will come in the
form of a sensation to the financial inter-
ests of the cities. The negotiations nave
been conducted for some time but so
successful have the officials of the two
banks been in keeping it quiet that no
preliminary announcement has been made
until the officers were ready to make it.
Late yesterday afternoon large signs
were posted on the windows of the Metro
politan bank, Nicollet avenue and Fourth
street stating that business had been
transferred to the Northwestern bank.
During the evening workmen were busy
moving the effects of the bank to the
Guaranty Loan building, and everything
will be in readiness for transacting bust
ness there today.
With the new arrangement President
James T. Wyman and Vice President Lew
is S. Gillette, of the Metropolitan, be-
come members Of the board of directors
of the Northwestern, and Cashier Frank
E. Holton becomes assistant cashier of
the Northwestern. Assistant Joseph
Chapman Jr., of the Northwestern, re-
mains in his position. It will mean that
the bank will have two assistant cash
iers.
All employees of the Metropolitan bank
will be cared for under the consolidation.
The merging of the two banks means a
combined capital of 81, 100000 and a total
deposit of IS, 280, 812.O2
Circulars were issued by both banks to
patrons of the Metropolitan explaining

Real Estate Bill Provisions.
The real estate bill provides simply for
the collection of taxes, more particularly
delinquent real estate taxes, and is in
accord with the suggestion made by State
Auditor Dunn. Its aim is to end the OPP

The agricultural implement dealers of
Minneapolis are having all kinds Of trou-

has caused the farmers to rush in their
orders for all kinds of spring machinery
and the result is that the dealers cannot
furnish them. The trouble is not entirely
with the dealers, but is also with the
manufacturers, as they are unable to get
the material with which to manufacture
the goods, consequently they cannot sup
ply the demands of the jobber. There Is

the result is that the jobber is unable to
meet the demands, and consequently the

city council to grant it permission to
move its present crematory incinerafors
from their location in North Minneapolis
to the property now owned by the city
near the East side pumping station on
IIennepin island.
The reason for the move is that the
present location Of the incinerators is so
1emote from the business center of the
city, making the cost of carrying the gar
bage quite an item. The cost of moving
the present incinerators will be about
$780, and it Is claimed that they can
