the work will 90 forward to a speedy
termination without serious interrup-
ton
1t will be a great relief to many
people when the big ditch is finally
finished and its success or failure
eXperimentally and actually demon
strated by the way il cares for the
first big freshet. There are still a
great many interested parties, and
others. who have no confidence in
the ultimate success of the under
takink. Their doubts can only be
substantially and satisfactorily met
by an actual demonstration. That
the ditch il properly constructed will
more than meet the expectations Of
it's most ardent supporters is our firm
conviction.

the poultry sellers to town. Here's
something we cant understand:
Hiawatha is better behaved town
than Falls City, yet Falls City
churches seem to be thriving and
out growing those of Hiawatha. 1t
is possible that the church people
will be able to close the saloons at

carmen REFUSE TO
SETTLE THE STRIKE
Trouble in Philadelphia Certain to
Continue Unless Better Terms
Are Offered.

Philadelphia, March 20.-Repudiating
the offer of settlement from the Phila-
delphia Rapid Transit company
through the assistance OF United States
Senator Penrose. the executive COM
mittee of the striking car men late to-
night voted to continue the strike
against the company until all their de-
mands We're granted.
The proposition for their considera-
ton provided for the immediate rein
statement of as many strikers as pos
sible, with the payment by the COM
pany of all surplus men of 81 a day
until places are provided for them, a
wage increase to % cents an hour on
June 1; an annual increase Of one-half
cent an hour until the wage reaches 25
cents; recognition Of a grievance COM
mittee and reservation by the compa-
ny to recognize other grievance COM
mittees; disposition Of the cases of the
173 men whose discharge led to the
strike by board of arbitration COM
posed of President Kruger of the COM
pany and President Driscoll of the Car
Mems union, with a third TO be APP
pointed by these two in case of dis
agreement.
This proposition differed from the
others in that until jobs are provided
for them the strikers were to receive
81, instead of 81 day and that the 173
men are to be handled by an arbitra-
ton board, instead of as provided by
the act of 1893.
The proposition was first submitted
tonight to the committee of ten, having
charge of the general strike by the
of three which has been
in consultation with Senator Penrose
yesterday and today. This sub-com-
mittee is said to have advocated the
of the proposition, but
other members of the general strike
dissented and the question
was submitted to the executive com
mittee of the car men.
W. D. Mahon, the national president
Of the Car Mems union, who had as
sisted in drawing up the proposed set
tIement, advocated its acceptance. but
was outvoted by the local car men.

Wood pulp Rates.

New York, March 20-In view of III,
acute stage al which tariff negotiation.
between Canada and this country now
stand, the board of general appraisers ~
New York is marking time in one of the
most important matters to be adjusted
the duty to be levied on wood pulp and
pulp wood, used in the manufacture OF
paper, imported from Canada
A recent ruling by the collector at De
troit was in effect that, as the Canadian
government had imposed an export duty
on pulp wood cut on crown lands all
pulp wood and wood pulp from Canada
should pay the maximum rate. Under this
interpre tation he collected the higher rate
on several shipments of wood
The treasury department later ruled
that the maximum rate should apply to
the crown land product only. and in view
of this ruling the International Paper
company appealed from the Detroit find
ing to the board Of appraisers here in an
effort to have the government refund the
difference between the maximum and
minimum rates on the Detroit shipments.
Should the general appraisers decide
against the appeal. the effect would be to
make operative the maximum rate on
pulp wood from Canada
