.HOWLEY TALKS
ABOUT STRIKE
PRESIDENT OF MINNESOTA
FEDERATION PREDICTS END OF
sWITCHMENs STRIKE IN A
FEW DAYs-coMMENDs SWITCH.
MEN ON CONDUCTING STRIKE.

According to Geo. B. Howley, presi-
dent of the Minnesota Federation of
Labor the big switchmen's strike will
be thing of the past in a. very few
days. Mr.. Howley spoke last evening
at Union hall and he encouraged the
switchmen to stick it out and COM
mended them for the clean way they
have acted since their walk
There is only one point of differ
ence between the roads and the strik-
ers, now" said Mr.. Howley, land that
is the demand for an advance of 6
cents an hour. This matter will come
up for settlement by arbitration this
week and following that the
strike will be at an END in very few
days"
He stated, however, that should any
unforeseen contingency arise by which
the strike would be continued for some
time longer, even for months or a
year, that the wives. daughters and
others dependents of the switchmer
would not suffer as he claimed that
there was plenty of money to keep
them from want.
He claimed that traffic Is not in a
normal condition and cited many in
stances to prove this.
Following his address Mrs. Charles
B Purdy of Duluth gave a short talk
She is the wife of a striking switch
man in Duluth and urged the wives
daughters and other women relatives
of the strikers to stand firm.
The addresses were given under the
auspices of the Fargo Trades & La
Dor assembly which is affiliated with
the Minnesota Federation of Labor.

MARKET COMMENT OF THE DAY
Minneapolis Market.

Minneapolis, Jan. 24--The local
market displayed considerable indie
pendent strength today but finally was
forced to succumb to the extreme
weakness shown in Chicago There
was good class of buying here early
By rnillers who we're also good buyers
Of spot wheat.
Speculation Is affected by the agita-
tion sweeping the country against the
high cost Of food. There was heavi-
ness in everything and 1t Is causing a
great deal Of pessimism. The situation
is decidedly mixed and hard TO fore
cast. The cash situation in wheat
holds strong and the leading millers
here are very bullish which insures
congestion on the short side when the
market is up against the commercial
position. The market looks lower un-
less cables come stronger and receipts
lighter. but there will be rallies from
all sharp breaks.

Y. M. C. A. DIRECTORS APPROVE
PLANS FOR BIG CAMPAIGN.

ED MARCH 23-oLD MEMBER
SHIP WILL BE PROTECTED.

The plan of campaign for raising the
membership of the Y. M G. A. to an
even 1000 was approved by the board
of directors at the special meeting Sat-
urday evening as outlined by Secre-
| tary Wolf and his assistants.
| The present membership of the asso
citation is to be divided into two big
main groups and these groups are TO
be ub-divided into number of
other groups The two main groups
will constitute the two sides which
win battle for the most members but
to make the competition keener the va
rious athletic bodies and memberships
are to be subdivided so as to be pit
! ted directly against each other.
For instance the business mems gym
nasium class and the handball class
| will be pltted against the business
mems club and the board of directors.
| The basketball league will be split the
Hatchers. Bankers and Aakers to be
pittied against the Globes Mutuals and
Forums.
This idea will be carried out all
| through the membership of the assoc
citation and each of the groups will have
a lieutenant This official will organize
his group and each group is to carry
on a separate campaign for members
Each of the main sides will probably
elect a colonel and great rivalry should
result.
Many ideas have been proposed TO
announce the standings of the differ
ent groups The campaign Is to close

Raise Membership Fee.
For some time 1t has been believed
1 by the officers and directors of the as
ISOLATION that the membership fee Of
4 $40 should be raised and at the meet
1 ing Saturday IL was decided to raise
/ the fee to S12 for senior members to
1 take effect after a sixty day notice.
However, old members and members
who join before March 23 will be pro-
tected and will come in under the SO
fee. In renewing also all old members
who are now under the $40 fee or who
come in under the $40 fee before March
E23 will continue to get the benefit Of
that fee.
Regarding this change Secretary
Wolf stated today: From a business
standpoint 1t is always much cheaper
to serve loyal old member than a new
member In fact the 81 raise would
scarcely pay for the amount of effort
1t takes to train and develop new
member into the work
Again. when everything is taken in
to consideration $40 does not pay the
actual expense of each member. The
privileges. If lighting, heating, rent and
every item of expense was taken into
/ consideration would come to even more
than s12.'
