1t is recommended by our
chairman, 3. F. Wynn, also
President Hitchcock, tina We
keep ourselves hereafter COL
stantiy before the reople, each
week, as a ulant for the
order. Our official order recor,
mcnds that should do the same,
and that we should have at least
on column each week. The frs
thing that recommend is that
our sheriff, Ed Hood, take up all
parties coming into town with
corn and that are selling it under
one dollor cash per bushel. To
confscate his team. turn it over
to Charley Moon. Put the corn
in the Union warehouse, and mott
fly the family where the team
and corn is and turn the subject
over to DR.. Bill Arnold to be
placed in the Sanitar;um. Our
motto is to DO unto others as
others have done unto YOU, a
twin brother to the Golden Rule.
Corn that is being sold now could
be sold easily by the first of
June 1910 for $3.50 per bushel,
and flour will be selling for $40

Great STRIKE
IS IMMINENT
Switchmen Vote to Quit
Work Immediately.
ALL ROADS ARE AFFECTED

Walkout VIII Include Employees of All
Yards in the Twin Cities and Ex-
tends to the Pacific Coast on the
West and the Head Of the Lakes on
the North-lncrease of Wages the
Stumbling Block.
st. Paul, Dec. 1.-Unless the un-
expected happens all the union switch
men in the Twin Cities and in every
railroad yard between here and the
Pacific coast on the west and to the
Head of the Lakes on the north will
be on strike within a few hours.
There are about 1900.
Negotiations between the railroads
and their employees and the assistance
of Chairman Knapp of the interstate
commerce commission and Labor
Commissioner Neill, who came to St.
Paul on Monday in this matter, have
come to naught and the switchmen,
by telegraph vote, ordered the strike.
Nothing can stop it unless the rail-
roads grant the demands of the
switchmen ard this they seem in
clined not to Go.
There are two things the switchmen
want and insist on having and these
two things are just what the railroads
say they do not intend to grant.
First, the switchmen ask for an in
crease of cents an hour In their
wages. Secondly, they want double
pay for overtime and for all Sunday
and holiday work. Overtime Is work
in excess of ten hours a day.
Present Scale Of Wages.
The wage scale of the switchmen
now in this territory is as follows
For night foreman, 81 cents an hour;
for night helper, "a cents; for day
foreman, 80 cents an hour; for day
helper, 32 cents This schedule has
been in effect two years.
The switchmen contend that in
creased bus.acss warrants their de
mand for more.
The railroads say that they carried
the switchmen through the depression
following the panic of 1907 at the pres
ent schedule and they insist that they
should be given more time to ALLOW
business to equal the ratio OF wages
before being asked to pay a higheI
scale.
There now seems to be no hope OF :
peaceable solution of the controversy
The switchmen and the railroads hav'
been in conference over the matte
ever since Nov. Is. Some points hav'
been conceded by both sides, but OF
the two main matters mentioned abov'
there appears to be no probability o
an agreement.

Tragedy.
New York, Dec. LIN an outburst

Margaret, mortally injured his aged
mother-in-law, Mrs. Margaret Kelly,
slashed his brothey-in-law, Frank OH
land, about the face and hands and
was prevented from killing himself by
police summoned by neighbors. The
tragedy happened at Mrs. Kelly's
home in Brooklyn and after Rafferty,
had been taken to the police station
it was necessary to put him in a
straightjacket to prevent him injuring
himself
Rafferty, is forty-five years old and
was married three years ago to Mar
garet Kelly, many years his junior.
The two took up their home at Mrs
Rafferty's mothers home, where her
other son-in-law, Frank Ohland, and
the latter's nine-year-old boy also
lived. Rafferty, was prosperous, and,
it is alleged, he plunged into dissipa-
ton.
The cause was family difficulties
and, it was said, he and his mother
in-law quarreled bitterly. Four
months ago Rafferty, demanded that
his wife come to live with him and
not with her relatives and she re-
fused. He left, only to return on
Thanksgiving day, and all differences
were apparently settled.
Renews His Demands.
Prior to the tragedy he renewed the
demand that his wife go with him and
help prepare a home of their own.
Upon her refusal, Rafferty, seized a
razor and attacked his wife, who start
ed to run, but was caught by the in
furiated man, who slashed her throat,
almost severing her head from her
body.
His mother-in-law rushed into the
room and followed him into the kitch-
en-, screaming. He picked up a mop
| and beat her down with it, crushing
her skull and leaving her unconscious
The Ohland boy ran to help his
