In reply to question Mr.. Harahsn said
that tho railroads were a unit In refusing
10 deal with the strikers through their
unions, but all Of them were ready nj any
tine to discuss and adjust grievances II
presented by their employees. He did not
think there would be much difficulty in
supplying men to take the strikers places.
Although officials of the tcamsters' union
have declared that no instructions have
been given the teamsters as TO backing up
the freight handlers, the sympathy of the
teamstors was made apparent today.
When the men walked out OF the Illinois
Central warehouse the teamsters who were
receiving freight Immediately took their
trucks away.

.IOSTART A FACTORY
y : = 3 "a
A Newly Organized Company Will
Make Implements Here.
BEST PLACE FOR SUCH A PLANT
The Company Has just Been Incor.
porntedt With n Capitalization
of 100000.

Minneapolis is to have another agricul-
tural implement manufacturing industry.
It is to be established here for purely bus
mess reasons. The promoters believe Min
ueapolis 70 be the only place of impor-
lance so convenient to the market; be-
cause it is the best distributing point in
the northwest for agricultural imple-
ments, and because they believe also that
this city affords the best opening for a
business of this kind, q great saving of
freight being effected by manufacturing
here.
The organization is incorporated as the
Minneapolis Implement Manufacturing
company. 1t has a capital of 100000 and
liabilities are limited to 100000. The in
corporators are we'll known men: J. M.
Bowler of Minnea polls. former state dairy
and food commissioner; John Beutner of
Proctorknott, Mimi, former executive
agent of the game and fish commission;
James Rooney of Minneapolis, formerly of
the same office; w. Carter "a miller of St.
Cloud; A.. L. Cramb of 81. Cloud, and H.
H. Larson of Crookston. The officers are:
President, ]. M. Bowler; vice president
l.. A: Cramb; secretary and treasurer
James Rooney. -
The company has not settled upon a To-
cation. Two sites are offered in North
east Minneapolis, but Southeast site is
being seriously considered. At f1rs3t the
only building will be tory brick,
100 by $50 feet, and from twenty five to
thirty men will be employed.
Although a capitalization of 5000 900 is
permitted, it is expected that only $50, 900
will be used at first, the excess allowing
for enlargement.
The implements made will be harrows
and cultivators, on new models. One pat
ent is an invention of Mr.. Larson prac.
tical mechanic; another that of Mr.. Roo
ney. Other lines may be added later.

A BIG SLASH IN PRICES
DIR. G. w. Moore's Bill Causes
Discussion.

Re-advertising for bids for the court
house awnings disrupted the local avn
ing combine. At the opening of new bids
by the county commissioners this morn
ing all Of the old bidders cut the combine
price and one firm even went more than
IL per cent lower. It may be, however,
that no local firm will get the contract,
as st. Paul bidder is far beblow the
lowest of the local firms. The bids are
as follows: A. D. Campbell & Co., s189.75;
American Tent and Awning company
$3.50; c. T. Leonard & Co., $751;. 40; L.
L. Locke, $168; H. J. Saunders, $16482;
o. F. Mundt, st. Paul, $3.50. Several of
the commissioners Immediately began to
pick flaws in the St. Paul bid and two
of them declared fatty that they would
not let the contract 60 out of town if they
could help it.
The interesting part of the commission
ers' meeting was the presentation of bill
Of DR.. G. W. Moore for $636.95 for quaran-

pox. DR.. Moore vaccinated S05 people and
quarantined several others. County Physt-
clan j. M. Kistler says that there was only
one case of smallpox at Hopkins when he
took charge. Even if Dr.. Moore could
collect from the county, which is doubt
full, DR.. Kistler says that the charges are
too high. - -

bids and will give awning makers another

Cracksmen Secure $1,000 From the
Pabst Brewing Co. Safe.
IT IS SOMETHING OF A MYSTERY
There Is No Clue to Thieves and
Method of Work Is Not
Wholly Clear.

The work of the petty thieves who have
been operating in the city for some time
was cast into the background last night
when burglars entered the office Of the
Pabst Brewing company, Seventh street
and Fourteenth avenue S.: forced the safe
and stole over $1,000 in cash.. The thieves
gained entrance to the building by prying
open window in tne rear. r

sistent in their efforts to open IL They
tried nitroglycerin, but did mot use

from the door and experts cannot tell
just how the strong box was opened =
AS soon as the loss-.was discovered by
the employees this morning, the matter
was reported to the police, but there is
little hope.+of catching the cracksmen
The robbery was committed after mid
night, as some of the employees were in
the, building until that time. 1t is also
thought that the work was done by local
thieves, as it appears that they had a
knowledge of the place. =

MADE A RICH HAUL CITY BOARD PLACES
Nine to Be Filled at the Next Elec-
i ton.
NO GREAT FIELD OF CANDIDATES
Most of the Present Gossip Has to
Do With the School

Local political interest has thus far
been almost wholly conferred upon the
positions of mayor and aldermen and the
vacancies on the city boards are over
looked. There is more than the usual
number Of these and it is probable that
it won't be long before citizens willing
or anxious<to serve the city in these use
flI, capacities will be heard from.
F5EOf the seven members Of the school
board three finish their terms this year,
Messrs. Hicks, Schlener and Force.
Messrs. Hicks and Sehlener have served a
full six years each, and DR.. Force two
years, being elected to fill the vacancy
made by the resignation Of the late
Frank Peavey.
Mr.. Hicks and Dr. Force have already
assured their friends that they will be
candidates for denomination. Mr.. Schlen-
er has not yet openly announced himself,
but it is thought probable that he will be
a candidate for another term. This Of
course would preclude his coming into the
mayoralty field.
Only three candidates for the board va
cancies, outside of the present members,
have thus far been mentioned. Mr.. Hicks
has some opponents down in his section
who have been cropping about for some
weeks to find man who would have
show to best him for the nomination.
They tentatively settled upon julius
NeWSOrd as the man wanted, but he re-
fused to enter the race. At Just this
time he friends of M. H. Witch, rival
druge list on franklin avenue, brought him
into the field, and it is possible that at
tempt will be made to get the Hicks op-
position to unite upon him. w. D. Brooks
of the Pittsburg Plate Glass company, a
former resident of South Minneapolis,
now living in the fifth ward, is also men
toned as candidate for the board, also
John w. Bentley, wei known third ward
business man and political worker.
Park Commissioners Johnson, Smith,
Baxter and Young retire Jan. 1. 1t is
understood that Messrs. johnson and
Baxter will not be candidates for re-
nomination. The other two. have not
made known their intentions, and only
once andidate has been mentioned in this
connection, Otto Naegele Of the third
ward, president of the German American
bank.
Two members of thel library board step
out with the beginning of next year, S. g.
Gale and Jacob Stone. Mr. Gale is now
serving his sixth year, while Mr.. Stone
began his service on the board only last
winter, being elected by the board to fill
the vacancy made by the resignation OF
A. L. Croker. Under the charter a
member SO elected can serve only until
tie next general election. No candidates
for petitions on the board have yet been
mentioned nor have either of the retir-
ing members made it plain yet whether
they will be candidates for denomination
or not.
The retiring members of all the boards
are republicans

B. Snyder is the right man for the re-
rublicans to nominate for mayor
There has been a great deal Of talk to

by the fact that while Mr.. Snyder has not

been spoken of as excellent material out
of which to make mayor. and has been
solicited in previous campaigns to be Al
