TO FREEZE OUT GRILEY.
Ways and Means Committee Would
Keep Him Away.

1t was announced TODAY that meet
ing of the ways and means committee
of the city council will be held this
evening. Though this announcement
appears harmless enough. there is said
to be a good deal of poison concealed
in. IT,
1t will be remembered that when the
committee attempted to meet Thursday
night, Councilman Griley and Swendson
mixed up over some parliamentary
questions. and the meeting ended in a
row. Tonight was selected for the
meeting, so Griley thinks, because 1t is
Saturday night. and the intention was
to freeze him out" Griley is a barber,
and has to work Saturday night.
It is likely, however, that Mr.. Griley
will sacrifice some of his Saturday night
trade just to show Councilman Swend-
son that he can't be bulldozed. Each
councilman accuses the other of being
a bu2l@oEer.

MAXWELL TO DO 1T.
Will Grade for the Thirteenth Street
Pavement.

If the contractors are willing to do
the work, and if Mayor BergundthaI
will sign the contract, the excavating
necessary on Kansas avenue south of
Thirteenth street, will be done by ].
H. Maxwell, the grading contractor.
The streets and walks committee at its
meeting Friday. voted to recommend
that the mayor sign this contract, and
let Maxwell do the work.
City Engineer McCabe states that
while there is no legal obligation rest
ing on the contractors to perform the
work. yet each one of them has express
ed his willingness to carry out the job
at the rate which the work was award
ed. John Richie will do the paving
and j. H. Maxwell the grading.
The grading is made necessary by
the fact that the city railway laid its
tracks to ordinance grade, which is
about two feet below the existing grade.
This leaves the street in dangerous
condition.

SCHOOL LAND PROBLEM.
Attorney General Must Help Straight
en- Out Tangle.

The attorney generals office has been
called upon to untangle a snarl in Ness
county, where the title to school lands is
involved.
John Casey lived on school lands for
several years without filing the proper pa
pers to secure title to them. Then an
the usual form and bought the land.
Casey brought suit before Judge Lpbdell
and the county attorney of Ness county
appeared for him Casey's attorney dug
up an old law, supposed to obsolete, under
which he claimed title to the land. The
case will be appealed to the supreme court
and as the county attorney in Ness coun-
ty can not defend, the attorney general
will have to fight the case.

ing of the Republican national commit

SANTA FE is AWAKE.
Will Repair the Fourth Street Cross
ing at Once.

]. F. McCabe, city engineer. has received
a letter from the Santa Fe officials agree
ing to go ahead and do all work of repair
ing crossings as rapidly possible and
asking that the city designate what work
il wants done.
1t seems that the action of the city in
refusing TO grant the Santa Fe fran
chise to build its tracks across Fourth
street has had the desired effect. The
council held up the franchise ordinance
until the Santa Fe should repair the cross
ings which it has been promising to re-
pair for the past year or SO. As soon as
the crossings are repaired the franchise
will be passed.
The city is holding up a franchise de-
sired by the Rock Island for the same rea-
son. u has some crossings to fix.

COMING STRIKES.

1t Is not only the strike upon the
rfeat Northern railway system which
Is scheduled to occur soon. but of 9TH
ers, aIso.' that are to occur from time to
uhe, TO accomplish the ends sought by
the nigh strike authorities, and by the
waking delegates who do the open work,
that we would speak. To the multitude
or common people who judge by what
they see and hear, it is a cause of wonder
and surprise that an immense body of
employees of the Great Northern Railway
company who are being paid ali they
ask, and with their families happily To-
Gated, and with the most agreeable re
latlons existing with the company's Off
ClalS' should permit themselves to be
"td"n or voted into a serious strike over
d question or point that don't amount
10 ShuCks to them; into a contest likely
10 cost the employees their positions, and
consequently the loss of their homes,
which they cannot afford. and on the 9Th
er hand may cost the company many mil
Mons OF dollars which it can afford. be
cause all such losses or burdens will be
inquired into the company's expense ac-
count to be paid by the future shippers
on the line-the ultimate end OF all
charges, and in making which payments,
the farmer has the lions share.
But in blissfyul ignorance of his burden
- NH' thNibill~ S1IilN'
very many of the farmers are constantly
sympathizins with the strikers, mainly
because one of the parties is a corpora
ton.
But passing by TINS threatened strike
upon the Great Northern company with
It's probable bad results upon the cOun-
try, it would be we'll for the farmers
and especially the large farmers of West
ern Minnesota and the two Dakotas, to
understand that in the epidemic of ST. likes
when is upOn the country, those farm
ers may be hit directly as well as in
directly. AS a prelude to the game that
VIII interest them, quite a number Of
them during last wheat harvest season
were confronted with the "walking dele
gate among their harvesting crews who
readily aCCeded to demanding an extra
dollar or half dollar per day-a demand
there was no resisting. When such or
gained movements cover the country,
and the demands are 50 exOrbitant as
to absorb al profit in the crop, then the
striking business will not be amusing to
farmers nor to those who depend upon
trade with farmers. 1t makes a difference
whose OK is being gOred. AS the epidemic
spreads, the employers OF smaller num-
bers Of men will be threatened. That is
not all. When there is adopted a system
under which those who have nothing
combine against those who have excessive
wealth, the popularity Of the thing
spreads, and the ground between those
making the raid to grab what they have
not earned, and those who are COM
PEELED to resist and fight to keep what
they have earned will become very mar
row. and in a short time people of or
binary means may have a struggle to
save themselves from organized plumber.
