house on 1.-THE Small College, The speak

was followed by a statement of the presi-
dents belief in athletics, the religious
side Of the students life, and in the work
of the Young Mems Christian association.

in a quiet place with q beautiful and salu-
brious environment. with f1ne equip

IT'S UP TO THE
LABORERS' UNION
TIME LIMITATION ON ARBITRA-
TON AGREEMENT EXPIRED.
The Matter Is Now in Exactly the
Same Status as When the Strike
Was Observation-Disclosures Willing
to Proceed with Arbitrators Al
ready Chosen.

1t is now up to the Building Labor
ers' union whether there shall be a
strike or not. The arbitration agree
ment signed Sept. 5 expired by linn
itation Jan. 1. Previous to that time
lit was impossible for the joint COM
mittee of building laborers and con-
tractors to select the ten men from
whom the three arbitrator were to
be chosen. The whole proposition is
now off and matters are exactly where
they stood Aug. when the strike
Of laborers and the sympathetic
strike of the bricklayers began. The
contractors fail to recognize the
ing about So for nlne-hour day
with the big contractors, remain in
force, the union is reported to stand
pat.
The contractors say they are still
willing to arbitrate with the five men
who have been already chosen out of
the ten, or to arbitrate with three OF
the five men.
| The failure of the joint committee
; to agree upon ten men has been re-
ported to the union and at the annual
meeting Wednesday night it is ex-
pected the matter will come up for
further action. C. r. Peterson, repre-
senting the building laborers' does
not hazard any opinion as to the prob
ability Of strike.
It is notable that at the present time
little construction work is going on
so that a strike would have little eff
feet as sufficient nonunion men are
in the city to do the work now under
, way.

FIGHT ON DRYDEN BILL
Minnesota F'rater11pl Beneficiary Asso
citation Will Take Hand.


The Dryden bill, putting fraternal
insurance organizations. under the
control Of the postoffce department
and permitting that department to is
sue a fraud order against any Of them,
will be Systematically fought by the
fraternal organizations of theVarious
states.
Locally the Minnesota Fraternal
Beneficiary association will soon
frame resolutions of protest to be for
warded to congress, and it is under
stood that similar organizations will
take the same course, with the pur-
pose of, putting the members of con-
gress on record.
According to e. l.. DeLestry, secre-
tary of the association, the Dryden
bill Is a menace to all members of
fraternal insurance organizations, be-
cause, in the case Of the Modern
Woodmen of America, for instance,
the issuing Of a fraud order by the
postoff1ce department would hold up
the monthly reports Of the 1000
clerks who keep record Of the stand
ing Of the 100000 members, and, by
the rules Of the order, this would
leave all the members holding insur-
ance temporarily unprotected.

The Trouble Being Wrong Principle

The inclement weather Of the past
few days has caused many to COM
plain that their heating plant does
not work or is consuming entirely too
much fuel. H. o. Roberts, the fur
mace expert. when seen at his store,
1913 Western avenue, said: Eyes, there
has been all unusual number Of COM
plants on the inefficiency Of heating
plants this winter. This is due to the
fact sof there being more plants in
stalled last year than any previous
year. The trouble is, that people look
too na,tch to price in putting in a
heating system. Besides, the system
OF furnace heating has been revolu-
tionized within the past few years, and
many Of the old furnaces are being
overhauled. am working twice as
many men this winter, and they are
busy all the time.
There are many instances where
an ordinary stove put in the place of
the furnace would give the same re-
suits. Yet this is not the fault Of the
furnace. Then, again, there is only
some little thing the matter that a

FIVE DAYS FOR NOTHING
O'Keefe, Who Was Locked Up Thurs
~ day, Is Released

After spending five days in a cell
at Central police station while the
police were trying to find evidence to
convict him of vagrancy, John O'Keefe
was this morning brought into police
court and discharged.
O'Keefe is of a good family, and
there was absolutely no evidence
against him. He was arrested last
Thursday morning at a railroad sta
ton where he was trying to sell his
watch. This act looked suspicious to
the detectives and he was locked up
on a charge of vagrancy. He was ar
raigned Saturday, but for lack of evil
dence. his case was continued until
this morning. The young man was out
of work for a short time, but secured
a good position out of the city. Being
hard pressed for money, he tried to
sell his watch to raise enough money
to purchase a ticket.
