NO STRIKE.
Mill Owners Reached Tentative
Understanding With Their En-
ployes Six Months Ago.
Men Seemed to Concede That Their
Efforts Should Embrace 9th
er Milling Centers.

Minneapolis millers are 10th to believe
that the men of the flour mill employees
union will take any action at tomorrow S
meeting of a nature to precip1tate a
strike The report in morning paper
that the men have decided that now is
the time to strike, and that they have
been preparing for struggle for six
months is thought to emanate from some
unauthorized source. Within six months
the same grievance now raised by the men
was brought before the mill managers,
and in the conference at that time there
was no trace of bitterness, but every
thing Of amicable feeling on the part Of
the men. -.-..- -
At that time the milers say it was
pointed out to the men that while the
hours are longer than they might desire,
there is something of an offset IN the
fact that, all things considered, the wage
scale here is somewhat higher than the
average in other milling centers. But the
principal argument then submitted on be-
half Of the mill owners was this: that the
Minneapolis, miIlers have to sell their
product in competition with the product
of many other points where the hours OF
labor are the same as here; that TO
change conditions here while they re-
manned unchanged elsewhere would be to
put themselves on basis where they
could not compete. The mill owners main
tanned that the thing for the men to do,
if they desired a change, was to bring
pressure to bear at every point at, the
same time; that they desired nothing but
what was fair and that they would grant
any concessions to the men that would
permit them to remain on fair compel
ing basis with other milling centers.
This argument seemed fair, and sort
Of understanding arose that the men
would not strike against the local indus
try alone. Hence the millers hesitate to
believe that the men have been secretly
planning ever since to strike.
Millers say the difficulty Of getting men
in the mills would not be so great as sup
posed, judging from the fact that many
men from Milwaukee and other points
have been applying for situations here
this past week.

LAWS OF PORTO RICO
Adequate Reasons for the Retention Of
Much Of Old Spanish
Svefenn

An article on the new Porto Rican law codes,
in the American Review of Reviews, says:
''As regards the system of private law, the
recommendations of the commission possess ass a

the Spanish system. 1t is true, that in both

American system. and the influence of the Span

influx Of immigrants from the east and north.

climatic conditions, will never attract a large
number of persons from the north. The sys'

traditions CT population essentially different
from that which we find in the states Of the
Union. Both reports furnish ample evidence
that the commission realized the danger OF at
tempting to force upon the people Of Porto
Rico a system of law which would be GER
tain to arouse feeling of distrust and re-
sentiment in the native population. :
at is furthermore, evident from the com
mentary contained in the report, that considera
BILE pressure brought to bear upon the
commission to sweep away the Spanish system
at one fell blow, and to substitute for it the
codes of one of the states of the Union. II
this attitude toward foreign systems of law
there is involved the most serious danger Incl
dent to the contact with civilization difreren'
from our own. The training of the American
lawyer is In the common law. Little or nj
attention is given to the great body of civil OF
Roman law. which is at the root of the lega
systems of continental Europe and Of the
entire South American continent This ignor
ance of foreign systems explains the feeling, 81
prevalent at the bar thatIany system Other
than the common law is unable. to meet the re
quirements of justice. =. We are not always
mindful Of the fact that the Roman law exer

the common law, and that during the last two
centuries there has been a gradual approach OF
the two systems toward d common standard
especially In the law of commercial relations.

A GENERAL ADVANCE
All Produce Lines Increase in Price
During the Past Week, With
an Active Demand.
Fruits Hold to a Steady Basis, With
Apples Attracting Chief Atten-
ton From Buyer and Seller.

A fair advance has marked all staples in the
produce line during the week. The cooler
weather has been highly favorable for heavy
consumptive demand. and the movement out has
been very satisfactory from the receivers point
of view. Butter has advanced about cents
per pound on tops. but for the present the top
seems to have been reached the week ends
with a shade of uneasiness among large holders
who showing a tendency to shade quotations
in order to move the goods and prevent a posi-
BILE accumulation Renovators are buying heay-
lily of low grades in butter. and this competition
has given considerable strength to the market
Eggs are higher, with indications of still more
advanced figures the coming week. a good
many poor eggs coming in, which have been
attracted from country cellars and farmers
hands by the present satisfactory price. Fresh
meats and poultry have advanced steadily until
extreme prices have ruled the closing days Of
the week, and weakening can undoubtedly be
looked for next week.
The fruit market has ruled featureless. West
coast fruits have arrived freely, with lower
prices developing on peaches and grapes. Bart
lett pears much higher. and, as the season
Is about over, will hold up strong in price. Con-
cord grapes are cheaper. Winter apples in car
lots will be in the coming week, and the heaviest
business for years Is looked for as quality is
uniformly fine and values moderate.

SENATOR HANNA

No mistake made in the reported verdict

Senator Hanna in hotel corridors or reached
their opinion from the less desirable vantage
of onlookers during his visit to Detroit. He

mis- recent advances to organized labor that the
transitory stage has not been passed. =.
The senator was born and bred in a little

that Hanna needed was develop ment, and he has
been getting it since he left the sleepy hollow.
He ceased to be an employee and became a
superb master Of men. He made speciality of

A FINE new j TRAIN
The Minneapolis & St. Louis Making
Plans for It's New Short Cut
to Chicago.
They Will Be Ready to Be Put Into
Execution Early in
November.

The new Chicago line of the Minneapolis
& st. Louis road, to be put in operation
by way Of the Minneapolis & st. Louis to
Albert Lea and the Illinois Central east Of
Albert Lea. will be opened as soon the
Rock Island completes its extension into
the twin cities. This will be about the
beginning of November. AS the Rock
Island will then have a through line of
it's own, the st. Louis road will establish
a new connection and will abandon the
use Of the Rock Island into Chicago. "
"Our new line" said Minneapolis &
st. Louis officer to-day, will be about
forty-five miles shorter than our old one
to Chicago and will permit us to reduce
our running time. Heretofore, we've been
one hour and five minutes slower than the
other Minneapolis-C Chicago lines. But as
soon as we can drop out that fortyfve
miles east Of Albert Lea, by following a
road that cuts directly across to Chicago
instead of making a big circle to the
south-then we shall be in a position to
make as good time into Chicago as any
other line. ~ e. $3.50. ,... .--.. -
1--WE shall also put on an electric lighted
train that, in luxury and convenience, will
equal any running between the northwest
and Chicago. We intend to make the ST.
Louis route favorite with the travelling
public" ..

HEAVY FALL TRADE

New York, Sept. 2O.-Bradstreet's to-day
Jobbing distribution continues very active and
retail business is improving. Now that the
crop is practically made, and the only
possible changes are those of quality, the dispo-
sition to book fall and winter orders is unre-
strained In the west and northwest. At the
south the tone OF trade reports IS notably cheer
full, largely owing to higher cotton prices, be-
cause crop accounts are not so favorable as a
week ago. Collections are as a whole good,

Even here the fine financial position of the farm

The coal situation deserves notice. The delay

business is good, being best at the west.
Lumber is active, as heretofore, and the
strength of prices is motive, hardwoods being
especially strong.
There has been a slight easing in the car
famine AS to coke and coal supplies, and the
furnace situation in the valleys is, therefore,
Bothered, but the eastern mills complaining
of delayed supplies.
In finished products, export tin plates, Amer
leans have about all the business that they care
to accept. Rails, plates and structural iron
are all heavily sold ahead. The ore. trade on
the lakes is active ever, every nerve being
strained to handle the business offered. In
