SETTLED BY ARBITRATION
The Grievance Of the Machine Coop.
ers Is Adjusted Satisfactorily
- to Both Parties.

Arbitration has brought an increase Of
wages to the machine operators employed
in local copper shops. Their pay will be in
creased per cent from 45 to 4S1. cents
hundred barrels, which is equivalent to an
advance of about cents an hour.
About a month ago the coopers and ma
chine operators union presented a new
scale to the managers Of the Minneapolis
shops. The only change concerned the
machine operators. - They had been ac-
customed to paying out Of hteir own pock-
cts the wages of one Setter up for each
group Of five operators. The business Of
setter. up is to put together the slaves
Of a barrel and get, it ready for the ma
chine. But, according to the new scale
the employers, and not the machine OPP
orators, were to pay the Is cents an hour
that the SETTER u had been receiving.
In other words, each of the five workers
served by "setter up was to be saved
the expenditure Of cents an hour while
the setter up was busy.
The demand was rejected by the man
ayers and the men +went out Within a
few days. however, the managers suggest
ed arbitration and the men agreed. They
named as their arbitrator Andrew Hen
derson, assistant foreman In II h u r.
! composing room, and the managers
selected w. c. Edgar, editor of the North
western Miller. VI" >'>s..-
30 Messrs. Edgar and Henderson submitted
their decision last Saturday. They agreed
so we'll, after investigating the matter in
dispute, that they did not find themselves
obliged to call in third arbitrator. The
two representatives held conferences at
which delegates fro ~ntle machine
operators and from the managers ex-
planned the details. s.>. ~
Estimating the number of barrels made
ready by a setter,u up in one hour, the arbi-
traitors decided that the wages of the set
ter up, If distributed among the machine
operators. would be equal to increasing
the operators pay from 81 to 81 cents a
hundred barrels. This would be an addi-
ton Of Is per cent But in view of all
conditions, it seemed fair to advise an in
crease of at least half the amount desired.
The decision was soon reached that 3kt
cents should be added to the operators:
pay. This, as mentioned, will be about
cents more an hour, or an increase of 8
per cent. r 1875 - "a - 80:
The operators will continue to pay the
wages Of the setter up; the movement to
dispense with such paYInaa t having been
simply a medium for seeking an increase
in the pay of the. operators.

MEETING POSTPONED
First Baptist Quarterly Meeting Elk
pected to Prove Interesting.

The quarterly business meeting of the
First Baptist church, which was to have
been held tomorrow evening, has been
postponed one week on account Of the
Baptist state convention, which begins
tonight at Owatonna. 1t is not probable
that anything of a sensational kind will
occur at the quarterly meeting, but the
minority element in the church, which
several times has asked for a mutual
council, will probably again proffer re-
quest. If the request is not granted, it
is more than likely that a considerable
number will leave the church.
Persons who are acquainted with First
Baptist church finances profess to believe
that at the end of the fiscal year, April
/, the Indebtedness will be at least $1,000.
It is pointed out also by the element not
in harmony with the present regime, that
the benevolence and state convention fund
pledges have fallen off in the First Bap-
fist church, while in other churches of
the denomination in the city they have
shown an increase.
It is stated that the majority of the
minority is still loyal in the matter OF
tithes and continues to make additions
to the state convention fund and to be-
nevolences, but through other Baptist
church organizations in the city.

Harvey Duly AuthorIzed--In a recent is
sue Of The journal, certain labor
men were quoted as opposing the collec-
ton OF money for striking miners by
George Harvey. It waseurged that he did
not have authority from any but a minor
labor organization and that it wos bad
taste for an Indicted man to have such a
post. As a matter of fact, the objectors
were nisinformed as to Mr.. Harvey's au-
thority. He bears credentials from the
Trades and Labor Council, the central or
ganization representing all Minneapolis
labor, and is specifically authorized to re-
ceive and receipt for all relief funds for
the coal strikers. AS to the good taste
involved in his serving as collector, John
Swift said to-day that Mr.. Harvey had Of
fered oretire, but that the committee In
sisted on his continuing the work.

FOR A CHAIR PLANT
Eastern Manufacturers Want to Sc
cure Quarters for q Minneapo-
lis Depot and Factory.
Their Quest Reveals the Fact That
Such Buildings Are Already
Well Filled.

John A. Dunn and Mr.. Turner of the
John A. Dunn Chair Manufacturing COM
pany, of Gardner. Mass, were in Mime
apolis last week in search Of a location.
Their main factory, one Of the largest
concerns of the kind in Massachusetts. is
at Gardner. They wish to start a branch
house in the west and have picked Min
neapolis as the most advantageous point.
Mr.. Dunn said that a large storehouse
here would do for the immediate purpose
in view. 1t Is his present intention to
ship the finished parts Of chairs to Min
neapolis and put them together here.
Later on, he admitted, if "a satisfactory
location is obtainable, it may be found ad-
visable to do manufacturing here also,
owing to the availability of raw material:
il Accompanied by Wallace G. Nye, Of the
Commercial club public affairs committee,
the visitors toured the manufacturing and
storehouse districts but they have been
unable as yet to find any suitable build
ing. They left for the east Saturday
evening, instructing Mr.. Nye to be on the
watch for an opening here
IT was surprised said Mr.. Nye, Ito
find how difficult 1t is at present to secure
a, foothold in the manufacturing district.
If any further evidence is needed of the
way things are moving 1t Is to be FOUND
there. I had. supposed that, it would be
an easy task to rent some storehouse for
the Gardner people, and had scarcely any
doubt but that we would be able to lease
some of the old wholesale buildings now
being deserted for new structures. BUT
I was mistaken. We tried, for instance
to lease the buildings soon to be vacated
by Dean & Co. and the Minneapolis I'm
plement company. We were Informed
that those buildings had been contracted
for almost as soon as the prospective re-
moval Of those companies was made uub-
lie. AS a rule, the old buildings are De
ing occupied by concerns which have been
in cramped quarters and need more room.
It is a hard proposition to secure deslr-
able building abutting on railroad yards
The value Of 'trackage property now can
scarcely be overestimated.'

found after the fire had been extinguished

The state labor bureau has compiled re-

accidents for every 900 workers. and that
so far in 1902 there have been six acct
