back with them the lessons Of daily lv-
ing learned in the United States. It was
largely matter OF course that coming
from conditions as they exist here they
should try to better conditions as they
exist in their native land. The result has
been that the usurer is being robbed Of
his employment. the houses and the
farms OF the pe~santry are becoming
more pretentious. cleaner. more healthy,
and better managed. New laws even
have been framed compelling a certain
degree Of sanitation: these laws insti-
gated by the returned emigrants-
Not only that. but these emigrants
taught in the American school, have car
ried back with them the gospel Of right
.eous discomfort. so that the peasantry IS
no longer satisfied with the coarse food
and the makeshift homes. and as result
the smaller shopkeepers throughout the
land report that they have been forced to
put in a better stock Of goods than ever
before. Nor in this imperfect list Of
benefits that the old country has derived
from the American leaven must it be for
gotten that the returning emigrant has
taken back with him new ideals, 50 that
the men have come TO have a new. con-
ception Of the dignity OF womanhoodi and
the condition OF the wives and sisters and
mothers has been vastly improved. not
by law. but by force OF example.
And day by day this leaven is working
throughout the world. II is the spread

1t has long since become an estab-
lished fact that the Sweet Studios,
the Minneapolis photographers, rank
with the best artists In their line in
the entire country. Their work has
been reproduced in the foremost pub
lications of the day, which Is one OF
the surest tests Of its excellence.
Their facility in making lifesize por-
traits has gained them unique repu-
tation and placed their work in a
class by itself. Their skill in posing
subjects, one Of the most difficult
branches Of their work, has brought
them the patronage of notable men
and women al over this northwest
A visit to their studio is equal In

the most famous art galleries for 1t

Following regular meeting Of the
Trades & Labor assembly last eve

transacted, the carpenters union held
an open meeting.
Organizer Carlin addressed the
meeting and in a conservative manner
outlined the union cause AS interna-
tional organizer for the Brotherhood
of Carpenters, this man has had wide
experience in fights for better condi-
tions.
Nothing but the best of feeling was
expressed by the members of the car
penters' union. There was no idle
boasting to be heard on any 1and.
Their difficulty has been settled in a
manner entirely satisfactory to all
parties.
Ice cream and cake were served by

CONCESSIONS MADE
BY BOTH PARTIES
CARPENTERS STRIKE CALLED
OFF THURSDAY NIGHT WHEN
COMPROMISE Is REACHED BE-
TWEEN THE BUILDERS AND
UNION CARPENTERS.

The strike is ended. After gen.
eral tie-up in construction work in
Fargo and Moorhead since July 20,
when a walkout was called by the
local carpenters union, the sound Of
the hammer is again heard on scores
OF buildings In the two cities.
The men return to work with the
best of feeling towards the contract
ors and vica versa. Concessions were
made by both sides. The contractors
accede to the nine-hour day while the
carpenters gave up the matter of a
wage scale until the first of the year.
During the entire strike the matter
was treated as a difference which was
bound to arise. Throughout the en-
tire trouble, the carpenters conducted
themselves in manner becoming such
an organization. There was not a
boisterous act or a move made which
might afterwards be regretted. No
animosity towards the boss workmen
was held at any time. The strike was
"a clean business proposition all the
way through and to the credit or Or
ganizer Carlin and the local leaders
and members.

Washington, D. c.. Aug. Last
bulletin gave forecasts Of disturbance
| to cross continent Aug. to 10, warm
wave Aug. to o, cool wave Aug. 1S
to IT. The interesting feature Of this
storm period was expected to be its
unusually cool weather, severe storms
on eastern coast of the continent and
the Inauguration of drouth in parts of
the corn belt. A high temperature
wave was expected in the southwestern
states from Aug 4 to 10.
Next disturbance will reach Pacific
coast about Aug. 10, cross Pacific slope
by close of Aug. IL, great central val
leys Aug. IL to IA, eastern states and
provinces Aug. Is. Warm wave will
cross Pacific slope about Aug. 10, great
central valleys Aug IL, eastern states
and provinces Aug. IA. Cool wave will
cross Pacific slope about Aug. 13,
eastern states and provinces Aug. II.
This disturbance will bring another
cool week with very little rain in
large section of the corn belt in which
drouth will threaten damage to corn.
Storms will be of no great importance
till they reach the eastern states, the
lower lakes and the eastern provinces
of Canada, where, about Aug. IA and
Is, they will assume threatening and
dangerous conditions. Between this
and the following disturbance dry
weather in large sections of the corn
belt will begin to cause some uneasi-
ness about the corn crop.
During the five days centering on
Aug hot wave Will invate the
states west of the lower Mississippi,
including Texas and following that hot
wave showers may be expected In the
states mentioned. Next disturbance

Charles o. Pratt is a most unique
figure ins organized labor today. His
speciality is street car strikes and his
success in handling these has been
phenomenal. The success is due ia
Pratt's own ingenuity in handling an
old situation in new way
M L. Stridey, in writing for Van
Norden's magazines. states that 1t was
back in Cleveland's strike ten years
ago that Pratt first came into promin-
ence. When the strike was settled
among their concessions the company
agreed to re-instate all working men
who had not engaged in actual dis
lorder,-save one.
"And who is that?" asked Charles o.
Pratt, one of the strikers.
THAT is yourself cody replied the
representative.
! From that day to this Pratt has been
lin the thick of every street car strike
OF prominence from Salt Lake City to
Philadelphia. His greatest asset and
fundamentally his own invention is the
Injection of factional local strife into
the fight which will force the street
car company to the terms of the men
/ In the recent Philadelphia strike this
was strongly in evidence for within a
/ few days after the strike had been de-
Iclared the situation was not one OF
labor men against their employers. but
| q political fight In which every citizen
was interested and the street car men
were held as champions of an ag-
grieved people. In Salt Lake city
Pratt is accused Of having dragged the
strike into the Mormon church, and
true 1t Is that his unique plan was SC
successful that soon the matter became
q .factional fight IN the church.
/ Pratt, the sfrike-malzer. has substi-
stuted brains and diplomacy for emo
ttional and physical force He Is fac
tor TO be considered by the street rail-
way companies OF America.
