= COMPROMISE. = :"
Mill Managers Make an Offer to the
Men in Reply to Their Demand for
: a Shorter Day at the Same Rate Of
Pay They Were Receiving and the
Proposition Is Accepted-Raise Of
Pay Will Be Asked Later.


Minneapolis, Sept. 29.-The local
branch of the Northwestern Flour
Mill Employees union has accepted the
offer of the mill owners to. give the
men an eight-hour day under new
scale of wages, and there will be no
milling strike in Minneapolis The
new arrangement will go into effect
Monday, Oct. 13. The proposition of
the mill owners was adopted amid
great enthusiasm and cheers were
given for the various mill managers.
The offer of the managers was adopted
without much opposition, although a
few wished to stand by the demand
for eight hours on the same pay. A
concession of two weeks in the time
at which the new order was to go into
effect sealed the matter and the pro-
posal was adopted by nearly un-
animous vote.
Indirectly the change in Minneapolis
will affect the entire milling industry
Of the United States and Canada, as
the recently organized International
Flour Mill Employees union will take
up the matter OF securing the same
concessions in other milling centers.
The scale upon which the eight
hour day will run is as follows:
The sweepers will earn one more
cent day. At present they receive
$1.75 per day. Under the new regime
they get % cents an hour, or $1.76 per
day. All the men now receiving SO
day will receive 35 cents per hour
for eight hours. The $3.50 men will
get 20 cents per hour. The grade Of
help receiving $2.z5 day will receive
26 cents for eight hours. Those now
getting 50 day will get 231a cents
per hour for eight hours.
When all the mills in the milling
centers of America are put on the
eight-hour basis a raise in the pres
ent scale of wages will be asked for,
but at present the men are willing to
accept the milling companies offers.
The latter: realize that even under the
compromise accepted by the men, they
are handicapped when competing with
outside mills who employ only two
shifts every tWenty-four hours to the
three shifts which will hereafter be
employed by the local mills in the
same time

School Debates Beneficial

Crookston Journal: The Little Falls
hiRhschool will in all likelihood repre-
sent the sixth district 10 the semi-6nals
of the inter high school debates as all
the other high schools save one in that
district have declined to debate and that
one high school Is thinking seriously of
keeping out OF it. The excuse given ia
thatit takes too much of the student g
time.to prepare the debate. But how,
We ask. can the students time be better
epsnt than in making a thorough iu-
vestisatioa of a live topic, one in which
the people are particularly interested
and upon which they have not all made
up their minds 40 that the speaker has a
chance actually to affect public opinion?
And eurely It is bad judgment to con-
clude that boy's or a girls time is
wasted i it is spent by him or her in
classify ing his ideas and working out the
best form 10 which to express those ideas.
And where better than on the platform,
before his fellow studente and the gen.
era! public, will the student acquire COM
nand over himee': under trying circum-
stapcee, or gain the ability to think on
his let pr meet unexpected opposition?
AmongIthe benefits which the public
school oonfers on those who attead it
are the acquiring OF the habit OF self con.
trolsths development Of thecapacity for
studying a given question and through
nice determination and the rejection OF
une1seatial details, getting at the heart
OF u, The acquisition Of the po n r
Of tAtakipe aud the ability to
