STRIKE LEADER IS ARRESTED
PETRIELLA is CHARGED WITH
CARRYING CONCEALED
WEAPONS.

Duluth. July 31.-The crisis in the
strike of the ore dock employees is at
hand, and it is predicted that by
Thursday morning at the latest 1t Will
be seen whether the strike will be
over or just begun in earnest.
While the officials of the Steel cor
poration still continue their concilia-
tory attitude toward the strikers, it is
not believed that they will hold open
to them an opportunity to return to
work more than twenty-four hours.
Draft Reply to Men.
There is unquestioned basis for the
statement that reply has been draft
ed in answer to the last commun1ca-
tion of the strikers announcing their
willingness to go to work upon the ap-
pointment of a committee OF arbltra-
ton to settle the differences between
the men and the company. ThlS reply
will be delivered to the men early this
morning. 1t is understood that the let
ter will assert the willingness OF the
company to meet any of their en-
ployes individually or as a committee
to discuss with them any points III
dispute which the men feel should be
adjusted after they have resumed
work. but at the same time pointing
out where they consider that arbltra-
ton does not concern the main issues
between the men and the company.
Will Close Negotiations.
The Associated Press is in a posi-
ton to state that this letter will def
nitely close the negotiations with the
men on the part of the United States
Steel corporation, and should the men
then decline to return to work the
Steel corporation will proceed at once
to make preparations to resume opera
lions on the docks with such labor as
it may have at it's command.
1t is understood from those in the
confidence of the men that the latter
will return to work and leave the ad-
iustment of grievances to the fair
ness of the officials. The labor leaders
assert that the men will not be MODEST
ed if they want to return to work.
Strike Breakers on Hand.
Last uISnG IL Was lSdlu ILobG 0OOuI
all of the men who have been stopping
at West end hotels and supposed to
have been brought in as strike break
ers, in case the dock strikers refused
to return to work, have disappeared
and that they are housed in boarding
cars on the ore docks. 1t is estimated
there are enough men cooperate the
docks. In police circles it is learned
that there is unusual activity in pre-
pairing for protection for the men who
go to work.
Labor Leader Arrested.
The only incident on the range out
of the ordinary occurred yesterday
morning, when Petriella, the strike
leader, was arrested and placed in Jail
at Hibbing on a charge of carrying
concealed weapons. He was bound
over to the grand jury at the Septem-
Der term of court in the sum of $1,000
Bail was promptly furnished by Off
GERS of the Western Federation and he
was released. There was scarcely a
ripple of excitement over the arrest.

but it is said to be a sure thing that
everything is quiet.
Order Arrest of Leaders.
Hibbing, Mimi, July %. = Fearing
that the present quiet is only the calm
before the storm, a warrant was yes
terday sworn out for the arrest of Teo-
flo Petriella, the little Italian who is
engineering the present gigantic strike
of the iron ore miners on the ranges
north of here. The citizens believe if
he were thrown into Jail on some
minor charge it would have the effect
of breaking up the strike. Petriella
left here yesterday morning for Eve
leth, and the officers have not succeed.
ed in locating him.
Pinkertons on the Way.
There is good deal of suppressed
excitement over the report that 100
Pinkerton detectives were on their
way to protect the big Steel corpora
ton mines at Eveleth when an effort
is made to open them Monday. The
miners look upon the Pinkertons as
their deadliest enemies Despite the
protection offered here by deputies
armed with rifles and revolvers no
men are returning to work, indicating
that the ranks of the strikers are still
solid. Although many of the idle men
are seen upon the streets they do not
gather in the saloons, and not the
least remarkable thing in connection
with the general suspension of work
is the good order which the leaders
have so far preserved.
Developments Expected.
That interesting developments are
expected shortly is shown by the fact
that Sheriff Bates of ST. Louis county
arrived here on the afternoon train
and at once held hasty consultation
with Mayor Weirick. The sheriff
claims he can land $50 deputies from
Duluth here in four hours time

WILL 1T BE DONE?

A special dispatch to the Grand Rap
ids Press under date of December 5,
says; The discussion started in the last
meeting of the synod has at last brought
forward some new ideas upon the
future of Alma college. While many
friends of Alma who at the same time
are earnest and sincere Presbyterians
look with favor upon change to non
sectarian school, il is evident that Alma
will remain denominational school for
some time TO come The one object
aimed at by the proposed changed is
that Alma could then qualify for the
Carnegie fund which pensions aged teach.
ers Of nonsectarian schools.
The latest idea brought out is that the
synod should start a systematic cam
paign aud establish n fund of it's own for
the pension of old teachers. One thug
is certain. the synod has scarcely done
its duty TO Alma in the past and in view
of this the progress of the college is all
the more remarkable Alma is probably
in better financial condiction than most
colleges and the establishment Of her
own pension fund would make her quite
independent
