The people of the northwest are view
ing the threatened extension war between
the Canadian Pacific and allies and the
Hill roads with great satisfaction. 1t is
now reported that Sir Thomas Shaugnessy
is even contemplating a 500 extension on
to the Pacific coast between the Great
Northern and Northern Pacific. He is said
to think there is plenty of room in North
Dakota for another line between those
of the merger. The magnificent agri-
cultural development along the Soo's main
North Dakota line in recent years has
revealed possibilities of North Dakota de-
velopment not formerly suspected. Much
OF this country was once thought to be
good only for stock raising, but it has
just as much agricultural value as a
large part of western. Canada, and the dis
cove1y of Assiniboia in an agricultural
sense is having very favorable effect
on the. settlement of western North Da
kota by people who want to have chear
land and yet remain under the flag.

thoroly informed with regard to all the
matters at issue between the Great
Northern Railroad management and it's
trainmen. It understands, however, that
the main issue is double headers: in
other words the company desires to use
two engines on heavy grades to move
trains which on ordinary grades can easily
be handled with one engine. The train
men insist that when two engines are re
quired, two train crews must be supplied,
or double pay must be allowed. The
company resist this on the ground tina t
the extra trainmen are not necessary,
and the expense would be an injustice.
The future action of the men has been
submitted to vote by their organization
leaders and the question Of a strike will
probably be decided by that vote: 81
we understand that the Great North
ern has already increased the wages OF
it's men from IL to is per cent and it is
claimed that this road is paying its men as
high wages as are paid on any other. The

An Endowed Theater.
To the Editor of The Journal
In the far past when history was but a
glimmer and science a crudity it is said
that in ancient Babylon when a person
was seriously afflicted with disease he was
PLACED in bed in the street or highway
with a label over him which said, .There
is no man SO bad but he will tell the best
he knows" In other words what would
your experience suggest to the sufferer,
thus recognizing in that early time tina t
there was much more good in men than
bad.
The city of Minneapolis in its brief his
tory has been unusually blessed with the
benevolent spirit Of many Of it's leading
citizens who besides establishing great
industrial institutions gave literally to
God and humanity. AS many of them
have crossed the dark river it might be
invidous to single them out and point to
their good works, but we still have large
minded men among us who are perhaps
building better than they know, and
among them may be named r. B. Walker
who has given the people of Minneapolis
free access to perhaps the finest indi-
vidual collection of paintings and articles

commonplace work among them and
many of them are among the rarest to be
found anywhere. How many young peo-
pie of the artistic temperament will have
the divine inf1atus kinded within them
in this gallery? And how many grown peo-
pie who have Toasted their eyes there
have. felt that they had been lifted up
into the highest atmosphere the very
home of the beautiful and the good? All
honor to the men. past and present. who
have striven to educate all there is man,

The crying need of the world has al

WHAT OTHER PEOPLE THINK
The WIremen's Strike.

To the Editor of The journal:
1t appears that yesterday, when the
journal reporter told the editor that a
little difficulty had occurred between the
General Electric company and their wire
men. the editor wrote an editorial jump
ing on organized labor. Now, it is an
old and we'll established rule, and one Of
the most strictly enforced rules, among
the building trades, not only of this city
but wherever they are organized, not to
allow union and non-union men to work
together on the same building or job We
are satisfied this rule is one of the main
safeguards to our unions. Besides, we
have found from experience that union
and non-union men cannot work in
harmony and to the advantage of the en-
ployer or owner on the same job. So we
allow owners and employers to take their
choice and have their work done with
either all union or all non-union men.
When non-union man comes onto a
union job, the contractor or owner is at
once notified. If they prefer the non
union man to us. we simply pack up our
tools and go off the job. We believe this
to be our right nd don't think there can
ever be law or custom established that
will compel a man to work with another
| if he don't desire to do SO. In this city we
! have never resorted to violence and don t
| intend to do SO, but we do claim the right
to quit a job peacefully if we are not
| satisfied to work there.
When a union man goes onto a strange
job. the first, thing he does is to inquire
if the other mechanics are union or non
! union If he finds them non-union, he
| quietly leaves the job If non union men
would adopt this same rule, there would
be no trouble between union and nom
union men. All we ask of non union men
is to stay away from union jobs or join
the union; our doors are always open to
I them. ..s
In this case of the wiremen with the
| General Electric company, as one man
| had been discharged for refusing to work
| With a non-union man. they thought they
| might as well quit at once, as to wait and
| be discharged one at a time as they were
| called to go onto this same job. We
don't believe anyone will deny the men
| the right to quit if they are not satisfied.
| The electricians have had more trouble
with the General Electric company the
! last few years than all other companies
in that business put together.

The Boolslovers Magazine devotes some
space to the philosophy Of the large de-
partment stores and their advertising. The
little stores, according to this article, are
benefited by the big department stores.
The little shops "a ised a great cutlery at
first but the great stores went right on
and exploited their wares in such a
manner that people who hadn't thought
of wanting the things before came and
bought them in ever increasing quanti-
ties. People were educated out of their
old ways of living. The big stores adj
vertising did not steal away the little
stores business-it stimulated new busi-
ness a hundredfold more than it brought
to itself. Advertising will do the business
every time; and it stirs up business for
others besides the advertisers. AS the
magazine says, it is educative.
