Strike Against the System
by Car Men of Union
IL -
2tr.a1 Pacific.

Omaha, Neb., Aug. 1S.-Two hundred
car men, including carpenters, coach
builders and painters, employed in the
Union Pacific shops in this city, unex-
pectedly went on a strike to-day. The
strike is a protest against the piece work
system and the leaders say that that all
the car men on the system will be asked
to quit work.
The action of the car men was decided
on at meeting held vest terday, but was
held secret until they walked out to-day.
Some time ago the car men made an
agreement with the Union Pacific road,
which included what was known as the
premium SCALE" and which put the men
on a. piece basis. The understanding was
that no man was to receive less than his
time would amount to at the regular hour
scale and would have a premium for work
performed over the regular amount. The
agreement created dissatisfaction and to-
days strike is the result.

feited Tax Sale.
Special to The Journal.
st. Cloud, MINI, Aug. 18.-Judge Searle
has decided an important case from Nor
rison county involving the forfeited tax
sale Of 1901. Property was bid in for
less than the amount Of taxes appearing
on the records as due and unpaid. The
owner of the property attempted to re-
deem, but the auditor of Morrison county,
under direction OF, State Auditor Dunn,
would not accept the amount received
at the sale, but demanded all taxes with
accrued penalties and interest. This the
owner would not pay and brought suit.
Judge Searle holds that in such cases
property may be redeemed by payment Of
the amount actually realized by the coun-
ty and state at the sale. 1t is thought

New York, Aug. 18.-United States
Marshal Hankel to-day received the fol-

in the case of Peter Power against the
directors of the Northern Pacific railroad: :
Shall positively surrender Power to you

It is supposed that the Pinkerton men
are armed with bench warrants for Pow
er's arrest and it may be that they will at
once arrest him as soon as the train
crosses the border line. Power is wanted
for contempt of court in refusing to ap-
pear before Judge Lacombe Of the United

GOODNOW'S TREATY
He Is Preparing to Fix Rates With
His Celestial Friend.

Washington, Aug. 1S.-The new tariff,
which was signed by T. B. Sharretts, the
United States commissioner for tariff re-
vision in China, and by the representa-
tives of the six other nations, changes the
present ad valorem tariff of China to Sc
cific rates. This is in accordance with the
protocol. The specific rate agreed upon
is based upon the average value Of
products imported into China during the
past twenty years. Under the terms of
the protocol this change from ad valorem
to specific rates does not need the sigma
ture of China. The change will no doubt
make some slight difference in the rates
of duty, but is not regarded as revision
of the tariff to any general extent.
1t is expected that in a commercial
treaty the tariff will be changed to a
considerable extent. The commissioners
on the part of the United States to nego-
tiate this treaty are Minister Conger,
Consul General Goodnow, at = Shanghai,
and Mr.. Feely. The treaty which they
negotiate. it is expected, will be completed
within a short time.
