washington, d. c.. March 5.-In a
letter to Senator McCumber, made
public today, Assistant Secretary OF
War Oliver transmits the report OF
Brigade General Bixby. chief Of en-
gineers, on the conditions at the out
let of Red Lake, Minnesota. General
Bixby states the outlet Of Red Lake is
not obstructed by a log jam, but that
the conditions complained OF are due
to the unusually low stage of water
in the lake.
The letter is accompanied by pho

public hearing held at Thief River
Falls and Crookston. Mimi, and Grand

He said in part: 'Tn view of the
neer and statements made at public
hearings. I am of the opinion that the
conditions complained of are due to
low stage of water in Red lake, that
alleged log jams are logs stranded for
lack Of water to float them away, that
there is no interference with naviga-
ton that calls for action Of the war
department nor anything in the cir
cumstances reported which would
warrant the institution of proceedings
by the department Of justice against
the lumber company in question"
Colonel Skunk suggested the advis-
ability of making an investigation to
determine whether there is ground for
the suspicion of subterranean con-
nection with the lake at the north end
Such investigation could be made only
after the weather breaks in the spring

Employers Should Recognize
Labor Unions Says Lowe
SCORES RADICAL LEADERS
RADICALS DECLARED TO BE So
cIALIsTs, "sEEKINe SOCIAL
EvoLUTIoN"--LARoR MUST BE
PROMPT TO DIsoWN ALL vlo-
LENcE IN LABOR STRUGGLES.

washiugten, March 5.Appealing
for the advancement Of Industrial
peace and industrial cooperation be-
tween the employer and the employe,
Seth Lowe, president of the National
Civic Federation, before the conyen-
ton of that organization today eulo-
gized the labor union and defended it's
right to struggle for recognition.
He endorsed heartily the American
Federation and it's methods and with
equal spirit denounced the radical
labor leaders as socialists, seeking
social evolution.p
"My judgment is that the pathway
to industrial peace and industrial ef-
ficiency," said Lowe, els to be found
in the hearty cooperation of the en-
ployers with labor unions, in the con-
fldent expectation that when the right
of the working men to collective bar
gaining passes unchallenged in prac-
tice, the right of other working men TO
forego collective bargaining, If they
wish to do so, will be equally un-
challenged"
Lowe dwelt at length on the advan-
tages created under the trade agree
ment plan between the employer and
the employe. Bargaining between
capital and labor, he pointed out had
reduced the industrial friction and had
virtually abolished serious Industrial
warfare.
Lowe, referring to the McNanara
case, said it has been demonstrated to
organized labor, that If in the future

Cardinal Gibbons presided at today's
meeting of the federation. President
Taft expected to preside over the ses-
sions tomorrow and Thursday.

Arrangements were made this
afternoon to have Clifford Pinchot,
former chief forester of the United
States who is making a tour Of
North Dakota this week in the
interests of the candidacy OF
Colonel Roosevelt, remain in the
state one more day than his orig
inal itinerary called for. Plans
were perfected this afternoon to
have him speak at Grafton Thurs
day afternoon and Hillsboro that
night, which will be his conclud-
ing address In North Dakota.
1t was hoped by many that Far
go would hear the former chief
forester, but owing to the fact that
Mr.. Bryan will speak here Thurs
day and the day Will be given over
largely to the democrats, there
was no desire on the part of the
republicans to upset their plans
which had already been formed, so
Mr.. Pinchot viii not speak here.
He will pass through Fargo on
the Great Northern late at night
on his way east.

DO NOT HAVE TO PAY BAR
BILLS, so THE COURT SAYS
Nor Saloon Rent, Nor Wine and
Brewery Wholesale Accounts,
Ecither, in Tennessee.

Memphis, Jan. 27.-By ruling Of
Judge A. b. pitman of the Third
Circuit court one may run up a
saloon bill or may purchase cases
of wine and beer on credit, and
never be forced to pay.
Judge pitman, in the case of the
indianapolis Brewing Go. against T..
Funai, ruled that the brewery
could not collect rent from the de-
PENDANT, because both parties were
engaged in Illegal liquor traffic.
According to the judge, no man
need pay brewery or saloon for
goods purchased, provided such
goods are under the ban of the
law. Further, any man who know
ingly sells to liquor dealers sup
plies which he knows are to be
used in the trade, cannot collect
for them through the law courts.
Your ruling means that anyone
can get drink for nothing when
ever he wants to, doesn't it?" Judge
Plttman was asked.
