Company, the Marshfield Land and
Lumber Company and the Copper Riv-
er Land company, which has been up
for trial before Judge Webb at Marsh

vision of what was claimed to be an
option on valuable timber lands. and
the damages claimed were $5OO.OOO'
The evidence of the defense showed
that no legal option had ever been CIV
en- and the withdrawal of the suit by
the plaintiff is a victory for the de-
PENDANT companies in two Of which
former Gov. w. H. Upham is heavily
interested. Rated by the amount OF

portant suit ever in Judge Webb's

FREAR MUST SIGN WARRANTS.

According to an opinion rendered by
Attorney General Gilbert. Secretary of
State Frear must sign all warrants on
the state treasury for the payment OF
state money or he must furnish the
state treasurer with a satisfactory
declaration that he is physically una
BILE of doing so and that the warrants
have been signed at his order and IN
his presence. The secretary of state
sent to the state treasurer warrants
for nearly 100000 which had been
signed by L. B. Nagler, acting chief
clerk of the department of state. The
state treasurer refused to pay the war
rants and asked the attorney general
for an opinion as to his duty in the
matter The attorney general later
held that Secretary Frear must sign
the warrants himself or give the state
treasurer a satisfactory certificate of
some kind that he is unable to do so.
AS the secretary of state is out Of the
city, the payment of the warrants will
be held up for several days.

WAGES NOT STRIKE CAUSE.
State Board of Arbitration Says Labor.
Troubles Are Due to Open Shop.

State Board of Arbitration Says Labor.
Troubles Are Due to Open Shop.
The demand of organized wage earn
ers for recognition Of their union"
and for the maintenance of the social
I'D CLOSED shop" are the chief causes
Of industrial strikes in Wisconsin.
says the Wisconsin state board Of ar
bitration and Cancellation in it's sixth
annual report The question of wages
does not seem to be the paramount
one in Labor controversies. the board
believes. The report gives a general
account of the work done by the board
during the year and detailed account
Of each case considered by it. One OF
the big strikes Of the year was that or
the iron molders of Milwaukee. which
is still unsettled Regarding its work
the board says:
1T is the opinion of the board that
the chief cause of majority OF the
strikes lies in the question Of 'recognl-
ton of the union and the so-caIleo
closed shop According to letter
sent by the president of the Mil
waukee Metal Trades and Founders
association. directed to the Minlste-
rial association, the closed shop is
founded upon Christian principles. and
tailors, printers, engravers. Itho-
graphers, foundrymen and machine
shops have declared in its favor and
others will follow.
In some instances the service OF
the board has been requested by
party to the controversy, at other
times by residents, as in the case or
the iron molders' strike in Milwaukee.
where the assistance of the board was
solicited by the Milwaukee Ministe-
rial association, this being serious
controversy, involving about 1,2OO
men and upward of twenty foundr1es,
causing hardships to large number
of families and loss to the employers
as we'll. on account of the enforced
idIeness in their business. In some
cases the employers refused to meet
the committees of the union, but
in such cases it was difficult for the
board to accomplish good results.
However, all parties whom the board
interviewed appeared thankful for its
suggestions. It is evident that there
is a tendency on the part Of some en-
ployers to ignore the unions by retus-
ing to sign their agreements. In some
cases. however, the friendly offices OF
the board were accepted and the par
ties interested submitted to its sug-
gestions, conceding to one another SO
that where a conference could be ar
ranged it resulted in an amicable set
clement.
There have been quite a few re-
quests for copies Of the report OF the
board from different universities and
public libraries"
The board consists of E. F. PAIL.
president; John Humphrey, secretary
and John Strangely.

LUMBER SUPPLY TO BE SHORT.
Superior Dealers Say Circumstances

Superior Dealers Say Circumstances
Are Combining to Cut Output.
Superior lumbermen say a shortage
may be expected during the coming
season for two reasons. One is the
fact that logging operations have been
delayed and hindered all fall for vari-
GUS reasons. Early in the year men
were scarce and for that reason there
was little doing in the woods. Then
little later, when men baCame more
plentiful, the snow was SO deep tnaL
abe woodsmen left in great numbers,
hot caring to work in the deep SNOW
And right along there has not been
enough cold weather to freeze the
swamps. which has made things bad.
The loggers have had considerable
trouble in making ice roads, too, on
accounty of the deep snow. 1t was dill
ficult to get the snow beat down and
packed so that an ice road could D@
built. However, roads are being built
now. and the operators are hustllng

time.
Another thing that is apt to cause
shortage is the coal and car s1tua-
ton. The roads are turning IN as
many cars as possible to the coal
docks, and this takes thom from other
business, and some of the sawmills at
-Clouuet have been force to almost
shut down for want of cars.
Prices on all grades were boosted
all the way from so cents to ~ per
thousand a short time ago, due to thd
prospective shortage, sbut this does not
affect the retail prices yet, as two OF
the Superior dealers have fairly good
stocks on hand and will probably not
raise their prises till spring.-W.

used and being purely vegetable are
adapted to every system.
