men WORKING ON
SURREY CUT OFF
BIG HOST OF MEN WILL WORK
ON THE SURREY CUT Off
GRADES HAVE ALREADY BEEN
MADE our OF THE CITY TO
WEST AND NORTH OF FARGO.

The work on the Surrey cut off Is
attracting a great deal of attention
TO Fargo right now and the labor
circles are taking a boom under the
ban of the proposed railroad improve
ments.
The work that will be done on the
Surrey cut off will not progress very
rapidly for some time and just how
many men the contractors will en-
ploy on the job is not known. The
contractors have already arrived in
Fargo and have begun the work on
the proposed road.
At the present time there are about
forty teams being employed in one
gang. 1t is not practical to employ
any mora than this number as the
contractors cannot house and feed
more men than can work with this
number of teams.
The contractors have announced
that they will have to employ men
with teams. This means that farm
ers and owners of teams in this Sec
ton of the state will be given an
opportunity to work their teams on the
construction job this summer, should
they desire TO do so.
A part of the grade has already
been laid west of Fargo and little
to the north. However. there Is a
great deal of bridge building to be
done, and some of these will be err
ected around Fargo.

that 1t would create dissension I'm the

the resolution was sent back to the

MEN GO ON STRIKE

Vancouver, b. CO. June 24.~-Five
thousand men in the building trades
are on strike in Vancouver, b. O.,
against the attempt Of the contrac-
tors to establish the open shop.
Agitation for general strike was
authorized by the central body, but
the local unions have not vet thought
it advisable to resort to such action,
and SO far are paying strike bene-
fits to the men out.
It is predicted that the men OF
the building trades will win their
strike, and general strike win be
unnecessary. II conditions do not
develop as Indicated, however. every
union man in the city will quit work
rather than see the open shop policy
established in the building trades.

Judge held, however, that the re-

was largely different from the eight

It having provided that mattresses in

are now strictly union and employ
over 700 men.
All the machinists working under
union conditions have pledged them
selves to give part Of their wages to
continue the fight for the eight-hour
day, and the International Associa-
ton of Machinists will also assist
the men to carry on the fight to
victory.

next meeting place. The local lodge
took special train from here accom-
panied with band and journeyed to

Of bringing the convention here next
year. They succeeded and had a
great time during the two days they
were there.

representatives of every order in the
state. Nine bands imported by the
visiting orders helped to make things

or straw hat.
There was an immense crowd during
the two days that tho Elks were in
Grand Forks and that city did itself
proud in entertaining the visitors.
Picnics, parades, athletic stunts and
theatre parties formed the social end
Of the convention.
The big parade on Thursday was the
feature of the convention. The nine
bands together with the big number
Of Elks in uniform made quite an i'm
preston. At the business meeting
held Thursday, Mayor Murphy made
the address Of welcome to which Ad-
olson Leech of Fargo, deputy grand
exalted ruler, responded.
The usual business was transacted
and then ali prepared for the big pa
rade. Devils Lake was awarded the
prize for having the most represent
