concluded.
"A round of applause of the strikers
and sympathizers who had crowded
the court room greeted the denial of
the Injunction.
Rein Orr, the treasurer of the
Amalganlated Association Of Street

has had experience in many strikes

been enjoined so many times that he
has become familiar with injunctions,
declares that Judge Dibells decision
is the most favorable to labor and the
fairest to the public ever issued by an

The street car boys and their SYM

the friends of the street railway COM
pany predicted, an invitation for riot

he also took a rap, ct the people who
believe that the street railway COM
pany, simply because 1t enjoys q

right to occupy the streets Of the city
OF Duluth and make all the regula-
lions for the conduct Of the. city. :.
Rein Orr, of Detroit, treasurer of
the Amalgamated Association Of
Street and Electric Railway EN-
ployes. gave very entertaining and
pleasing talk. He referred to the
fact that the organization he repre-
sented had working agreements with
a great many street railway COM
panies in the United States, and in
those cities strikes seldom occurred.
THE best antidote for q strike,'' he
asserted, was we'll disciplined trade

Grievances Are Reviewed. ..
w. e. McEWen made. a strong and
effective speech in which he reviewed
the grievances of the street railway
men. He told how the men of labor
of Duluth became interested in their
welfare, and how these men advised
the street railway men not to form a
union because Of their. knowledge of
the attitude Of the Duluth Street
Railway company against any kind Of
an organization of workingmen. He
said that he was opposed to strikes
and would go farther than any other
man to avert them, but. that some
times strikes became necessary and
when they did he advised the work.
ingmen to strike and to strike hard.
There are some things worse than a
strike" he declared, "and one Of
them is a completely depressed man.
Mr.. McEwen told of the long hours
of labor Of the men and of the sys-
tenn Of dement's which obtained and
how petty officials had so abused the
system as to make every man in the
employ Of the company subservient
to him. He asserted that the demerit
system ought not to be used by any
except penal institution and was
unbecoming for any employer to use
it on free workmen.
Mr.. McEwen closed his remarks
with an urgent appeal to the audience
to contribute funds to help the street
railway men to employ counsel to
represent them in court and to fight
an injunction preyed for by the COM
pany. About $21o was collected.
The last speaker of the evening
was w. E. Towne. He delivered a
militant address in which he declared
that he was one Of those who be-
lieved that the world belonged to the
workers and this strike was simply a
part of the great movement Of the
working classes to come into possess
sion Of their own.

adequate service. Since Friday, Sept.
13, there has not been any such riot
ing or interference with the equip
ment of the company as to excuse it
in any manner from performing the
requirements of the franchise.
Must Accommodate Public.
|, by it's charter the company is re-
quired to furnish a sufficient number
Of cars to accommodate the travelling
public" says the court. 1T is
common carrier Of passengers; and
irrespective Of contract or charter or
statute, its duty Is to furnish ade-
quate public service. Since the time
when rioting excused the full per-
Torrance of its public duty it has
failed to furnish adequate service.
Only portion Of the cars are run.
No proper schedule is maintained"
The decision has caused consider
able comment in Duluth and is looked
upon as refreshing departure from
the customary attitude of courts on
questions Of this kind.
In the instant case the court went
just about as far as it was possible
for court to 60. It directed that
the company at once resume it's nor
NAL schedule.
The court did not take the action
taken by the court in the famous
Des Moines case. Judge Dibell in his
memorandum touched upon this de-
cision and differentiated between the
Duluth case and the Des Moines case
in the following languages:
Compulsory Arbitration.
There is no law for compulsory ar
bitration Of the differences between
public service corporations and it's
employees. The company cannot be
compelled to re-instate it's former en-
ployes nor can it's former employees
be compelled to work for it. There
was no collective bargaining with a
provision for arbitration, as in the
much talked of Des Moines case
where a mandatory Injunction was
rightfully or wrongfully issued. There
is no adequate remedy which the re-
lator can invoke, and unless the REM
edy by mandamus in effectual and re-
spondent may furnish service when it
pleases, with only the remote danger
Of que warranto."
We give Judge Dibell credit for
going the limit. He seen his duty
and done it," But so far as havins
any beneficial results to the strikers
is concerned, the decision is nil, FOR
the reason that the company is en-
titled under the law, and in fact has
already, filed notice Of an appeal to
the supreme court, which will stay the
writ of the lower court until the ap-
peal is determined. This cannot 30
done until next April the earliest
OF course, the fact that the COM
pany under it's charter must supply
sufficient service and the fact that the
court has found that it has not been
doing so and asserts there is no cx-
cuse from the viewpoint Of the pub
lie why 1t should not do 50 neces-
sarily has q great moral effect. For
propaganda and agitation, purposes it
cannot be beaten.

earners as members Of the legislature
might have a wholesome effect on
that body and should be able to place
law on the statute books looking to
this end.
Don't Like Transfers.
Residents Of Park Point complain
that strike-breakers cannot be induced
to wait for the aerial bridke, Park
POINTERS are nearly all supplied with
transfers when they reach this side
OF the bridge and consequently but
few cash fares are turned over to the
strike-breakers, and being a law unto
themselves, the thinks" refuse to con-
slider the convenience Of mere tax paw
ers.
An aerial bridge car was con,ne
east on Monday evening. A number
OF Lakesiders were waiting at Third
avenue for car. Tired and desper-
ate they boarded the bridge car and
collected Jackpot of $500 and
bribed the conductor and motorman
into changing the sign from aerial
Bridge to Lakeside" and Went on
their way happy.
We presume that complaints are
coming into the company's offices
thick and fast. We also assume these
complaints are accompanied by the
necessary information concerning the
conductors number, etc. With nor
NAL service such as the general man.
ager now claims to be giving, it is ex-
ceedlngly strange that the merit and
! demerlt system has not brought about
the dismissal Of at least one Offend
ing conductor or motorman.
Judging from, the staying qualities
OF the strikers and the bull-headedness
OF the management we Question
whether the merit and demerit sys-
tenn will be put in operation for some
time at least.

n F THE two court growing out of the
| street railway strike have done nothing
else, they have brought out series of
~ facts leading to the strike and have fixed
the responsibility for the situation from the be-
ginning to the present time upon the company
In this connection the authorized statement
published by the News Tribune of the conditions
under which the men willing to return to
work is of primary Importance. These are prac-
tically identical with the statement made by the
News Tribune Sept. 49, they practically the
same presented by the men from the first.
Nothing could be reasonable than these
conditions. Essentially they call for the open
shop; the right to organize, but without recog-
milton of the union, and the right of petition,
presentation of grievances.
The conditions leading to the strike are
these: The company system to its employees
has been the lockout, that is the refusal of the
right to organize; the refusal to receive commit
tees; the refusal to treat in any way with the
men; the discharge of the dissatisfied and the
iron rule.
II ever organization of employees was Justified,
If ever it was compelled by system of MANAGE
ment that belonged in the dark ages of indus
trialism, it justified and compelled in this
instance The organization came secretly and
last resort, after every other method to bring
tolerable conditions had failed.
The facts as to the immediate causes of the
strike practically part of the court records
By system OF spying, which had it's climax in
the forcibe entry of employees home, the
names of the officers of the new organization
were learned
Mr.. Warren was at that date out of the city,
Immediately upon his return these men were dis
charged. and simultaneously strike breakers we're
shipped from Chicago.

indication of any intention their part Of strk-
ing.
Mr.. Warren was evidently satisfied that this
act would result in strike In effect he know
ingly and deliberately forced the strike.
Having been In charge during the previous
strike. he had reason to know what to expect as
the result Of strike. He had good reason to
feel that one result would be r1otng, the destruc-
ton of property and, possibly, the loss of life
He knew for certainty that the service
would be demoralized, the public put to extreme
Inconvenience; every business man caused heavy
financial loss and Industry halted.

DULUTHNEWS TRIBUNE HITS nail ON HEAD
The Following Editorial From Duluths Fearless Daily
Paper Sizes Up Strike Situation in Nut Shell.


In the face of all this and of his previous ex-
periense, he caused the strike and has per-
sistently refused to take the simple and fair
measures open to him at any time since, to end it.
There can he but conclusion, and this is
that the company represented by Mr. Warren
and endorsing his action is wholly and entirely
responsible for the strike and for its continuance.
-
In this situation what can Duluth do? Judge
Dibell says in his admirable decision which, in
effect recognizes the company's responsibility:
1.-THE public need not walk while the company
makes suitable terms with it's men nor aid it in
the struggle
But the fact is that Duluth is walking and
suffering very great inconvenience and loss,
while the company refuses to accept the courts
decision or take the fair, humane and honorable
way to end the strike, reman its cars and resume
normal service.
1t evidently intends to make no terms with
the men except those that will resume exactly
the conditions which brought on the strike, and
that sooner or later would bring on another.
1t intends to perpetuate conditions that will
keep the constant menace of the repetition of the
experience the city has just had and is having:
that will for considerable period be an incentive
to periodic acts of violence, endangering life and
property; that arouses the worst in men and Gull
uVdtes Inc ldWIeSS Sp1r1C, ana That, at the pest,
will continue more or less demoralized service
for months.
If Duluth is satisfied to let the company win
under these conditions if it prefers to face this
future that the company may resume it's despotic
sway maintaining the same attitude toward it
that it does toward it's employees. it can do so.
But if it prefers to end this condition now and
for the future, it has two remedies and can use
both Of them.
One of these is to adopt the Mueller law"
socalled, to which the News Tribune has before
referred. Some lawyers say that this is uncon-
stitutional, others just able say it will be up
held by the courts.
Whether it is constitutional or not, it will
serve the purpose, by bringing the company face
to face with public control.
The other is for the council to authorize the
immediate bringing of action to revoke the
companys franchise. The courts generally do
not uphold perpetual" franchises and there ia
no reason to- believe they will uphold this one
These are the remedies. Will Duluth use
them, or does it prefer to remain a feudal city.

There is every indication now that
the crops OF the state of Idaho will be

season and this presages another pros
porous year for the farmer said d.

derstand there will be an exceptionally
large acreage in wheat and other
grains this year.
The crops in the Lewiston section
are far advanced over the higher levels
and farmers are much pleased with the
conditions as they are today for big
yield. Throughout the Nez Perez and
Camas Prairies the fall and winter
sown grain is doing splendidly while the
spring grain will not come up to the
standard except where it was sown ear
y. As result of the late rains farm
ers failed to get their ground plowed
III time to expect good results from
spring sowing. There will probably be
more summer fallow this year than ever
before and it looks now as if the total
acreage in grain in the upper levels
this year will fall short about 25 per
cent. 1t is too early to predict what
the prevailing prices will be on grain.
Dealers are generally refraining from
offering an opinion or offering to con-
tract
The grain commission has not
changed the standard of grades this
year and the grades established last
year will prevail until such time as the
of the crops warrant
