SAYS THE FIGHTS on ODELL
Parsons Tells the 18d That Hughes Does
Not Figure In II.

Herbert Parsons went up to the Twenty
third Assembly district last night TO help
Leader Collin H, Woodward who is facing
a contest at the primaries with James keyes.
He said that there would be no dispute at
the primaries about Hughes, although that
pretense had been raised. II would be an
Odell contest.
IF Mr.. Odell- said Mr.. Parsons, @can
secure the adherence OF a majority Of the
new State committee, he will, commencing
with this April, control the State organza-
ton. Some might say that this does not
affect New York county, inasmuch as the
new county committee will not be elected
until the September primaries. But it
does. II Mr.. 0dell controls the new State
committee, the State organization will not

ment of marty affairs in this county, and Mr.
Odell's success will be heralded throughout

confidence Of the party. And II the enrolled
voters should in the fall continue in power

his control Of the State organization would
be harmful to the party and especially in

suited in our favor and led 10 the Nomination

Fargo Exchange Launches New Rule
for Building Trades.


for Building Trades.
The open shop rule went into effect
at Fargo among the members of the
Fargo Builders and Traders exchange
last week. The new ruling affects all
branches of bui ding. with the excep-
tion of the painters union. with which
organization the exchange has an
agreement which does not expire I'M
til April l. No discrimination in the
labor employed will be made by the
exchange. nor will any reduction in
wages result from the open shop rule
On the ether hand. the contractors de-
clare that they wish to be free to en-
ploy whom they please. regardless of
any connection with labor organiza-
tons, and that both good union and
non-union men will be employed. The
labor organizations of Fargo have not
yet announced what action they may
take in the matter. but it is given out
on good authority that should the con-
tractors attempt to employ non-union
men some action will be taken by the
unions affected.

a charge of safe-breaking and was sen,

tiary by Judge Kneeshaw of Pembina
passed through Grand Forks last
week on his way to Bismarck. He
was in charge of Sheriff Roadhouse
and deputy.
While being transferred from the
Northern Pacific depot to the Great
Northern depot Ross was shackled
and handcuffed He was handcuffed
on the way down from Pembina to
Grand Forks, and the shackles were
added just before the train reached
Grand Forks. Ross told the sheriff
that it was a good thing that the
shackles were put on him, for he
probably never would have reached
the Great Northern depot alive. He
had planned to make a break for lib
erty just after arriving at Grand
Forks.
Despite the efforts of the authorities
to induce Ross to tell who were the
two men who had aided him to crack
the Great Northern safe at Walhalla
and rob Helifach's jewelry store, he
stood pat and told them he would take
a life sentence rather than peach" on
his confederates.
Ross was disappointed when Judge
Kneeshaw gave him such severe SEN
tence. He has long criminal record
in North Dakota. Minnesota and West
ern Canada. and was recently recap
tured in Winnipeg after making his
escape from the Pembina county Jail.
O'Neill, who made his escape from
the Pembina Jail with Ross, has not
been nabbed.
