500 MEN IN CONFERENCE
Officials Meet Photographers and Talk
Over Conditions.

500 line officials and telegraphers
are holding their annual get-together
conference. The grievance committee
met yesterday with General Superin.
tendent G.. R. Huntington at the general
offices to present their revised SEIZED
ule. Both sides are non-committal IN
regard to changes asked for over last
year schedule and as to probable re-
suits. A slight advance in wages is
being asked, it is reported.
The conference is said to have no
relation whatever to the existing strike
of telegraphers on the other two trans
continental lines. 8:
West-end operators were represented
by o. R. Hatton, general chairman,
Broten T. j.. Briley, Kimball Prairie;
F. Spurzen, Worship; J. 0. Johnson,
Henning; E. H. Cornell, Elbow Lake.
j. L. Kobliska, Weyerhauser, repre-.
sents east-end operators.
One 500 employee says that the con.
ference is simply to fix up few griev.
ances. Another says that an advance
will be asked and that if the submitted
schedule is ignored there will be warm
session. A peaceful adjustment is ex
pected.

HARVEST HANDS SCARCE
RAILROAD AND BUILDING OPER-
ATOMS TAKE UP AVAILABLE
MEN AND FIELDS ARE NEG
LECTED,


F. I. Whitney, passenger traffic man
ager of the Great Northern railway,
has written the Commercial club ask
ing its assistance in securing suff-
Gent number of harvest hands to ham
die the wheat crop. -
Local labor bureaus say that they
cannot find men to fill orders at any
price. The street railway and several
large local contractors, together with
the city water and sewer departments,
have rounded up nearly all of the avail,
able laborers in the city. In addition
there are a number Of large contracting
operations outside the city that are
looking for men. .-..: r..
The state free employment bureau
claims that it could still furnish men
if transportation difficulties could be
overcome. One road offers a fat rate
to all points on its line, but the 9th
ers, it is claimed, only allow the spe-
cial harvest rate to apply in lots of
five or more. =.

PAUPER'S RELATIVES
MAY BE CALLED ON

County Attorney Al J. Smith may
start court proceedings to compel the
relatives Of Ole Paulson, an aged pau
per, to care for him or to pay the
county for his support.
Paulson, who is nearly 80 years old,
has been unable to work for several
years, and has been dependent on the
city. Most of the time recently he has
been cared for by the city poor depart
ment, but the police continually pick
him up as a vagrant, and he is now
serving a sentence at the workhouse
because there is no one to take care of
him.
According to ordinance the poor de-
partment is not allowed to support those
who have relatives able to do so. In
vestigation shows that the old man has
a widowed sister living on Sixteenth
avenue S who is in good circumstances
and also nephews who are able to care
for him.
There is state law which compels
relatives to support the disabled mem
bers Of the family. Even the nephews
and nieces of such persons, says the
law, must support them if they are. in
a condition to do so. A test case may
be made in this instance, as these cases
are becoming common.

WANT FIFTY BLUECOAIS
MAYOR WILL ASK FOR LARGE IN
n CREASE IN POLICE DEPART
MENT - OUTLYING SECTIONS
POORLY PROTECTED.

Mayor David P. Jones is satisfied that
South Minneapolis should have ten more
policemen. That section of the city
has not it's share and hence is not pa
trolled as we'll as other sections of the
city. He also wants additional men
elsewhere, for instance another mounted
man in Oak Park and several horse
and footmen in the eighth and thir-
teenth wards. The latter ward, the larg-
est in the city and growing most rapid
~, is protected by one man and it is
always a wonder to the police that
more misdeeds do not occur there, as
the lone man, whose beat extends sew
eral miles, is practically Of no protec-
ton against evildoers.
What the mayor wants is 275 men, an
increase Of thirty men over the present
force and he is satisfied that
to advantage. He will ask for
that many more. Fifty men divided
among five police stations and then
again divided into day and night squads
would not noticeably augment the po-
lice force as far as the public is con-
cerned, but that many men are badly
needed, in the opinion Of Mayor Jones,
more badly than additional street
lighting and other improvements.

PRAISES THE GUARD

Minnesota's national guard comes III
for high communication in an official
report presented to the governor by for
mer Adjutant General E. D. Libbey.
and covering the last year Of General
Libbey's administration. In the report
is the statement Of the official iQspec-
ton of the Minnesota guard by Lieu
tenant Colonel William Gerlach. He
says in part:
"The energy displayed by all in pre-
pairing for the competitive drill pro-
gram, and the intelligence displayed in
it's execution are decidedly enc ouraging.
The performance of the troops in camp
showed plainly that the younger mem
bers, of the guard have derived much
benefit from association with their elder
comrades, who have seen much active
service: = All are steadily progressing
and getting beyond the mere mechanical
stage, and appreciate we'll the spirit of
our present system Of handling the
troops in action. This justifies the con-
fident expectation that if called into &C
tive service the Minnesota national
guard will do it's duty.'

URGING LOWER RATE
FOR WINTER WHEAT

Persistent rumor Of a, cut in grain
rates between Kansas City and Min
neapolis was heard today. Pressure is
being put upon the roads by Kansas
City shippers, in the hope Of obtaining
a 2-cent concession.
Since the winter wheat crop was har-
vested the northward movement of the
finer milling grades has been heavier
than in any like season, and a good part
Of the daily receipts in Minneapolis
have at times been winter wheat with
Kansas City as point of origin. The
moving of the spring wheat crop Of
the northwest is now checking the buy
ing of winter wheat by the northwest.
The Great Western road has issued
no new tariff, altho it is the road that
usually leads off in such matters. The
rate is II cents, and if it were reduced
to 10 cents winter wheat would proba-
bly, continue to come.
G. NJ. Boynton, the grain man Of
Kansas City, was in the city today. Mr..
Boynton says he doubts whether the
concession will be made by the roads,
even tho the pressure be heavy. - y,

PAYING TOO MUCH
FOR The METERS
LOCAL ALDERMEN ARE GETTING
SICK OF THEIR BARGAIN.
Find that Supposed Low Price Is High
er than Other Cities Have Paid for
Same Article-Claim that Combine
Has Held Up Prices in This City for
Several Years.

An effort will be made to repudiate
the contract recently entered into by
the city for the delivery Of 5000 Tri-
dent meters within year. Chairman
Frank y. Schoonmaker of the council
committee on waterWorks, said today
that ne was satisfied that the city had
been : stuck and if there was any
way in which the city could break the
contract he was in favor of pursuing
that way. l@
Until this year the city has been
paying So and SO for the Trident me-
ter, which is one of the best meters
on the market and particularly well
adapted for cold climates. When, there
fore, an offer was made last spring to
sell the meters to Minneapolis for
1918, including Connections and guar
anty to replace broken parts, the mem
bers OF the committee thought that
they had struck a bargain and saw a
chance Of saving upwards of $4,000.
They went at the bait like trout at
fly and all the aldermen approved
of the action. >
Mr.. Schoonmaker has now received
information that Trident meters have
been sold to several cities in the coun-
try in small lots of not over 200 at
$685., and it is alleged at even less.
Mr.. Schoonmaker and his confreres of
the committee are distinctly sore and
anxious to make trouble.
There are evidences that the meter
firms have been in collision for years
to hold up prices in Minneapolis and
divide the "velvet,' Of which, it is
intimated, little found it's way into
the hands of officials The plot was
revealed by a member of the combine
owing to a row between the companies.
About 1000 meters have already been
delivered and paid for under the con-
tract, and these the city will probably
be obliged to keep. There may be
some difficulty in backing out Of the
remainder of the contract.

WIRELESS TRAIN SIGNALS
WARNING ENGINEERS OF APP
PREACHING TRAINS IN EITHER
DIRECTION.

Chicago, Aug 15.-The experiments
made with wireless telegraphy on en-
gines running over the tracks of the
Chicago & Alton; have proved SO sue
cessful that the Alton management has
taken steps to equip all the company's
engines with the apparatus. The
equipment is being manufactured in
the Alton shops at Bloomington.
Under the new system adopted, each
engine carrying its own wireless signal
apparatus constituted the center of a
movable block travelling with the train
Near the engineer in the cab is an in
Dictator which keeps him informed
every moment of, the conditions within
the block. He is the constant center.
If train approaches within two
miles to the rear, green light shows
on the indicator and a warning bell
calls his attention. If the train is to
the front a red light flashes and the
bell rings.
These signals are reciprocal, and the
engineers on both trains receive the
warnings at the same instant.

run CHARITY ON SHARES
PROFESSIONAL COLLECTORS OF
FER MONEY FOR THE USE OF IN
STITUTION NAMES.


Charity-promoting schemes LAUGHED
by professional collectors, who receive
a large percentage Of the collections are
again bobbing up in MINNEAPOLIS. These
schemes got so many black eyes about
six months ago, that the city has been
fwree from them for somo time. An
offer was made yesterday to a we'll
known home for children in the city by
professional collector from the east.
All she asked was the permission to
use the name Of the home for collecting,
for an entertainment. For the use Of
the name 5000 would be given. The
offer was promptly turned down.
After the offer had been turned down
the Associated Charities were notified
that the collector was in the city. Her
record was looked up. It seems that
she has recently given entertainments in
other cities. She pays all the expenses
Of advertising, of securing a hall, and
the cost Of staging the entertainment,
which requires several performers
brought from the east.
