SCALE IS SATISFACTORY
TWIN CITY ENGINEERS REPU<
date CHICAGO REPORT OF DE.
MAND FOR INCREASE. Z

I Minneapolis and ST. Paul railroad
engineers are satisfied with the pres
ent scale Of wages and hours and will
make no demands on the railroads for
a change in the present system. This
is the statement of local railroad men,
who deny the report from Chicago that
the engineers of railroads entering Chi
cago, st. Paul, Minneapolis, st. Louis,
Kansas City and the Texas roads have
demanded higher wages and shorter
hours.
Representatives of the railroads sup
posed to be included in the engineers
demands met in Chicago yesterday and
Geographic, reports announce that the
demands Of the engineers were refused,
but according to local railroad men no
demands have been made and, so far
as the roads entering the twin cities
are concerned, the report seems to be
without foundation. 49, ~ - :.
Every two years representatives Of
the engineers who work on the roads
entering Minneapolis and st. Paul get
together and discuss matters vital to
their interests. If it is thought best,
conferences are held with representa-
tives of the railroads, but this year,
according to local engineers, there has
been no friction, and at the biennial
meeting to be held next month, there
will be no matters of Importance I'D
for discussion

FINED THE LIMIT FOR
SELLING DYED CANDY

E. E. Alexander, manager of the
Five and Ten Cent store, 500 Nicollet
avenue, was fined $95 and costs in DO
lice court today for selling candy col
ored with dangerous coal tar dyes.
The complainant was J. G.. Fowler
of the state dairy and food commission,
who says the chemist IS report shows
that the candy contains an unusual
amount OF dyes and should not be sold
under any circumstances.
The commission is starting crusade
on unhealthful candy which. is largely
consumed by children, who are more
susceptible to poisons than older per
sons. Julius Hortvet, state chemist,
says that more harm can be done by
selling poisoned candy than by dealing
out groceries and foodstuffs that are
dyed.
The state food commission has taken
samples from several stores. The SAM
pie taken from the Five and Ten Cent
store was the first that gave an unsat-
lsfactory test, and warrant was i'm
medlately sworn out for the manager.
! The fine that has usually been I'M
posed in the food adulteration cases
was $25, but Judge Waite thought this
otfense demanded special attention and
gave nearly the maximum fine. The
costs of court were added to the fine.
which was paid. - H

OLD CHARTER GOOD ENOUGH
N. D. T. Company Finds that A. D. r.
Franchise Fits EXactIy.

Having bought out the A. D. T. COM
pany, the N. D. T. company is con-
WINGED that it has bought all the for
mer ,company's franchise rights and
that the city council has no authority
to hold the N. D. T. company to- its
agreement to pay a gross earnings tax,
to submit to council control Of rates, to
furnish free Waterman and burglar
alarm service to the city, and to- grant
certain other concessions. The com
pany's position was plainly set forth
by Rome G. Brown to the special coun-
Gil committee late yesterday. IL. ...
While the company was sure that its
position was correct, Mr.. Brown ex-
planned that it had no intention Of an
tagonlzing the council Tt,'S. ....~-. . :.
Alderman G. B. Holmes inquired if
there were anything to prevent the
city from withdrawing its police and
fire department. connections from the
A. D. T.. service and thereby deprive it
of two of it's best Features. Mr.. Brown
thought that the A. D. T. service was
more important to- the fire department
than the latter was to the A.. D. T. COM
pany. The company was not prepared
to make a definite proposition the mat
ter was laid over until the organiza-
tion Of the new council in January.

EXAMINES
RAILROAD BOOKS
JAMES ]. HILL GIVES ERIC OLSON
FULL SWING. " L.
Independent Student Of Rate Question
Has List of Things He Is Trying
to Find Out from Records of Great
Northern, to Be Used in Rate In
quiry. =

Erie Olson of Dunnell, Martin coun-
ty. farmer volunteer in the cause of
railroad-rate reform, is making an ex-
animation of the Great Northern Rail
ways books, with the express consent
of President Hill. s r
Mr.. Olson has taken an active hand
in railroad questions for twenty-five
years, and took a leading part in the
Farmers alliance and populist move
ments. He has been spectator during
many sessions of the state railroad
commission in the past year or two,
has made complaint on his own re-
sponsibility; and has been witness
before the commission. He has offered
them his own peculiar theory of rate
making.
: Had Questions for Hill.
When President Hill was snbpenaed,
Mr.. Olson submitted a list Of questions
to Attorney General Young which he
wanted put to Mr.. Hill Some ques-
lions were asked, but most Of them
were questions that could only be an
swered by examination Of the books.
Attorney General Young suggested that
MI: Olson make this examination him
self. H@ submitted his list of ques.
orders that Mr.. Olson should be given
access to the books and, records of the
company, to get the material he want
ed. The services of clerk and account
ants are at his disposal. He has al
ready spent two or. three days at work,
and says he has barely started. When
he has finished he will probably be
called as a witness by the attorney
general, so as to get the results of his
inquiry into the record Of the hearing.
Among the facts Mr.. Olson is after
are these:
What He Wants to Know.
Cost per mile of hauling maximum
train load
Tonnage Of freight trains between
Minnesota Transfer and Breckenridge
in given time, and number Of emp
ties IN each train. .~
Tonnage of trains on branch lines
between same dates
Cost per mile of constructing num-
Der of different sections of the Great
Northern system in Minnesota.
Cost Of hauling car Of wheat GER
tain given distances. ..-:
The answers to these inquiries, if
they can be determined from the com
Pany's books, will throw considerable
light on the problem of what is a rea-
sonable rate.
~ am not fighting any railroad"
said Mr.: Olson today. IT don't want
to put them out of business or get less
than a fair profit. But l want to see
that they give us farmers a square
deal.' - -

some of the difficulties they had to con-
tend with. The matter was left open

Weather Conditions.

The Lake Winnipeg depression has
moved to the upper ST. Lawrence val
ley, having caused snow or rain in the
lake region and thence eastward. The
western high-pressure area has moved
farther. eastward, now occupying the
Miz5iszippi Pi%ef, and Sn trendin 20
north and south 1t has been attended
by much lower temperatures in the
east gulf states and in the Upper Mis-
souri, valley. The eastward progress
of the high pressure area has been fol-
lowed by rising temperature from Mon
tana southwark, and light rains con-
tinue in Texas and Oklahoma. Light
precipitation is also reported from Ne
vada and Utah. The weather will con-
tinue fair in this vicinity until the
high pressure passes, when snow will
probably set in, possibly Thursday.

sixth district caucus at st. Cloud and
there Hugo seems to have made a mis-.
take in tactics. John R.. Howard hoped
for the support of the district, and
asked that no vote be taken. How
ever, Hugo got one member to intro
duce resolution indorsing his candi-
dacy, and this was resented by Howard,
who withdrew from the race and threw
his adherence to Johnson. The vote
stood five for johnson and four for
Hugo: Two Of this delegation, Nagel of
Buffalo and A. w. johnson Of Litchfeld,
were not present.
Tied to Nolan Temporarily.
A. J. Rockne and Ambrose Tighe both
attended the caucus at Owatonna.
which was attended by eleven of the
fourteen members from the first dis
triet. Before the caucus met the indi-
cations were that johnson, Rockne and
Tighe would all get votes. W. A. Nolan
in the field without a unanimous in
dorsement, and rather unexpectedly the
eleven gave him an Endorsement. 1t
is generally believed, however, that
this was a foxy move on the part Of
the first district delegation. Nolan gives
them something to tie to until they can
locate the bandwagon.
Elmer b. Adams of Fergus Falls was
at st. Cloud looking over the situation,
but the ninth district has done nothing.
R. j. Wells Of Breckenridge is candi-
date, but cannot get the district unani-
nous, and when it comes in the votes
will be found divided, with strength
for both johnson and Rockne. The
seventh will caucus Friday at Granite
Falls, and is expected to divide in the
same way, unless it becomes evident
by that time that johnson is winner,
when the seventh will probably settle
the contest by inlOrSing him.
