The Strikers at Duluth Vote to Sub.

All Matters in Dispute.

Duluth, Mimi, July 3O.--No settle

prospect. The adjustment committees
OF the strikers on Monday addressed
a letter to the officials of the Duluth,
Mesaba 4 Northern railroad propos
ing arbitration and the officials of the
company are considering ii. 1t is
probable that an answer will be re-
turned to-day.
At the meeting Monday the Men
spent some time in discussion of
terms and the matter of arbitration
was put to a vote, the proposition be,
ing carried with Just one vote to
spare.
The following Is the proposition for
arbitration expressed in formal bal.
lot at the meeting Of The striking ore
handlers:
First--That work be resumed at
once; that no discrimination shall be
made on account of the strike and
that no men be employed until all
who participated in the strike shall be
given an opportunity to work If they
so desire.
Second-That all matters in differ.
ence now existing between the ore
dock employees and the company be
submitted to the arbtrament OF five
men, selected In the following man.
ner; Two to be appointed by the
railway company two to be ap,
pointed by the striking employees and
the fifth, who shall be disinterest.
ed person, to be chosen by the other
four. In the event of the four dis.
agreeing, the selection shall be made
by the judges of the district court for
the Eleventh judicial district.
T'hird-That the arbitrators make
their award and final decision upon
all matters submitted to them moi
later than 30 days from the date OF
the agreement to arhitrate.
During the day II was learned that
some of the officials were opposed to
arbitration of the main questions al
issue-that OF an increase in pay
and a recognition Of the union.
Work is going on at the Allouez
docks in Superior and officials say II
will not take the company long to get
into action on the docks here.
In the event that the dock strike Is
settled it Is believed that an attempt
to open all the mines will be made
and then will come another test. Re
ports come from Hibbing that smoke
was seen from a dozen stacks on the
range in that district yesterday. Ore

LAWYERS THEN AND NOW.
oId-Timers Had Little Difficulty In
Entering Profession.

The young man who wants to be q
lawyer nowadays has a much harder
road to travel than he who wished to
adopt the honorable profession in
days gone by. AS a rule, he has to
take a several years course in one of
the law schools of the state, then pass
the state bar examination, which is
not planned to fill the profession with
blockheads. Formerly" said Mr..
John p. Poe, now the oldest instructor
lin point of service-at the Uni
versity of Maryland Law School, and
former attorney general, "all a young
man had to do was to read law in
some lawyers office. Then he went
before the examining committee,
which asked him a few questions,
after he had been vouched for by the
lawyer under whose guidance his
studies had been pursued These
questions, as rule, were kept IN the
pigeonhole OF the judges desk, and II
The aspirant for professional honors

tell the difference between whisky
and brandy?' He professed ability to

men who became great lawyers in
those days did so because they were
naturally lawyers, not because of the
training they received,

GRAFTON of Miners and codefendant
with William ID. Haywood, acquitted
of the murder of ex-Gov. Steunenberg,
was ordered released on S25,O00 bail
Monday by Judge Wood, who presid-
ed at the Haywood trial.
The attorneys for the federation ex-
pected to have the bond ready for
filing last night. but the arrangements
had not been wholly completed at a
late hour and Meyer resigned himself
to another night in Jail. He will prob
ably be released today and will leave
within "a hours for his home in Den-
yer.
No application for bail was made in
the case OF Pettibone, the third OF
the alleged conspirators. but motion
was made for a speedy trial and his
case was ordered set down for Octo-
Der l. Counsel intimated that they
might apply for bond for Pettibone
later, but II is not believed that the
states attorneys will consent. 1t has
been generally claimed that the state
has more discriminating evidence
against Pettibone than any OF the
others while it has been generally
conceded that the case against Meyer
is the weakest Of the three.

unique way, suggested by Attorney
