MANY CLUBS ARE
SHOWING ACTIVITY

Commercial clubs Of North Dakota
are taking up many new lines of &C
tiVity this winter, but the most promi-
nent question occupying their atten-
ton is that of lettering farm condi-
lions. The clubs are giving a great
deal of attention to the proposition Of
advancing the organization of farm
ers' clubs, and several of them farm
ers' meetings for that purpose.
The Cando club has made applica-
ton for a farmers institute and will
arrange to hold the event in the lat
ter part of January. Better train
service over the Cando line is anoth-
er object that that club seeks, it be-
ing proposed that a night service be
established. Other clubs on the Can
do line are also affiliated In the move
ment.
st. Johns Commercial club has TAX
en- up the question of town improve
ment, and has called a meeting at
which Prof. John ZelIner will give an
address on the question.
At the annual meeting of the Bis
marck Commercial club, held this
week, plans were laid for an active
seasons work. New directors elected
for tie year follow: F. L. Conkln, J.
L. Bell, r. c.. Batty, George A.
Welsh, H. J.. Duemeland, E. A.
Hughes. l.. K. Thompson, c. L.
Young, O.. H. Will and F. E. Young.
One Of the features that will be pro-
NOTED particularly will be that Of get
ting conventions.
Lisbon, through the work of it's

WALSH co. FARMERS
SELL MUCH POULTRY

Grafton, n. D., Dec. 5.-The farm
ers of this section of Walsh county
killed and sold and shipped $50 0
worth Of poultry during November.
On one day $50 farmers were here
with shipments for a Chicago concern
which had poultry cars here on that
date to receive the birds. One bank
cashed $1,000 worth of checks for
farmers on that date. In addition to
that large shipment, large quantities
have been sent TO Winnipeg AND to the
twin cities. Winnipeg has been a
good market, especially for turkeys,
nearly $4,000 pounds Of dressed birds
having been sent from here to that
point in refrigerator cars. The indi-
cations are that the December poultry
business, especially in geese, ducks
and turkeys, will exceed that Of No
vember.

WASHER WILL COOL
OFF IN CITY JAIL

Minot, n. D., Dec. 5.-An epidemic
Of Washers. in this city received a
serious check yesterday when H. K.
Clay of Minot was arrested for dis
orderly conduct, and charged by the
police with a~ssaulttng a young girl in the
Soc depot here early in the morning.
1t was alleged that he made ap-
proaches to the girl against her will,
to leave the station and play cards
with him in his room until her train
arrived. He became so annoying that
the girl finally called a policeman and
the young man was taken to the sta
ton for trial. He received a $25 fine
or ten days in Jail from Judge Lynch
in morning court. He could not pay
the fine and will serve his sentence.

SCHRINPF LET OF

Minot, N. D., Dec. 8. - Fl. J..
Schrimpf, the Douglass business man
convicted of selling m~ortgaged
property was sentenced in district
court receiving the small fine Of 500
and costs. The jury brought in a YER
dict Of guilty with a plea for leniency
and recommended a sentence of $500
or more. AS this amount is the divid-
ing line between a misdemeanor and a
felony, Judge Leighton took the lesser
charge. and Schrimpf got out COM
pa~ratively easy. It is felt that the
sentence imposed took the position Of
an object lesson to several other peo-

 1 An effective strike on these rail- roads-Would have had most disastrous effects upon the commerce and in dustry of this whole region, To say nothing of it's effects upon the re- mainder of the country. Indeed, it would be difficult to eXaggerate the seriousness of such a calamity It is safe to say that the large cities of the east, if the strike had taken place. would have found their supply of many articles of food exhausted within a week.
 "Of so an important a commodity as milk, the cities have not usually more than a days supply Many of the people in the cities would, there fore have been short of food if the strike had taken place. Assuming that no damage were done to their property, the loss of the railroads through cessation of business would have been enormous The total op- erating revenues of the fifty-tWo rai- roads concerned amount to over
 twenty million dollars a week. The
 loss to the engineers would likewise probably have run into the millions.
 Their present payroll amounts to over
 $SOOOO0 per week.
 But the loss to the public would
 have been vastly larger than hat or
 both parties to the conflict. Of ne cessity building operations and many
 other lines of employment would have
 ceased in whole or in part; for not
 only are the TeOple of the great cites
 dependent upon the railroads for their
 daily food supply. but the great in
 dustries depend upon the railroad Tor
 their materials. and a weeks failure
 on the part of the railroads to deliver
 materials to the manufacturers would
 have made it necessary for many 10
 shut down even if the owners hau
 wished to continue them in opera
 tion. But in any case many ot the
 owners would have been compelled to
 shut down their plants, inasmuch as
 they could not afford to continue
 manufacturing articles of commerce
 which they had no means of trans
 porting to the places of sale.
 Tt thus appears il a strike of rail-
 way employees were successful Tn stopping traffic, its effect upon the
 industry of the country would be analogous to those of a general strike simply because a great number or other industries could not continue if the railroad ceased 10 operate. Such a strike would have at least the par tiaI effect of a universal strike, forced upon the public, and even the wiling
 workers in other branches of industry.

only objection made to the bill in either house was that it should be extended to take in other classes of labor, but this was thought imprac- ticable at the time, and in view of the eigencies of the case the effort to amend the bill in that respect was abandoned In the house of repre- sentatives, Clayton said:
 This bill is the agreed expression of the desires and wishes of those most directly interested in this sort of legislation, to wit. the great trans portation companies of the country, and the railroad employees themselves. They thought and 1 agree with them. that the machinery is ample 10 take care of the contingencies suggested. They all agreed that the railroads and the operators would arbitrate under this bill"
 As a result of this remarkable con- cert of action. among the railroad operatives. the railways. and the na- tional government, the bill was pa ssed as the conference committee framed it, and President Wilson, who had strenuously urged it's passage, signed it at once. It is now known as the Newlands arbitration act. and in sub stance provides that when a contro-
 
 bor or conditions of employment arises between an employer and his employees who engage in interstate commerce by railroad, either party to the cOl tro- VerSy may apply to the board of me- diation and conciliatiOn created by the act, and invoke it's services for the purpose of bringing about an amiodble adjustment of the controversy. The board has the right, also, to inter vene without being applied to by either party.
 The board of mediation and con- ciIiation consists of a commissioner appointed by the president with the consent of the senate, and two other officials of the government, desig- mated by the president. On the con troVersY being placed in the hands of the board, it is to use it's best eff forts by mediation and cOnciliatiOn to bring abOut an amicable adjustment Failing in this, the controversy may, by the mutual consent of the employ CT, and the employees, be submitted to a board of arbitration, which may consist of either six or three members.

line track, and extending from Fort land. oregon. to Fl Paso, Texas. and would not only result in great loss to the railroads and to the employees. themselves, but also in vast and ir- reparable loss and inconvenience to the public, the Southern Pacific com pany, through its president. William Sproule, called upon the board of mediation and conciliation for the ex- ercise of their good offices in the matter. He stated that, failing in a solution of the controversy by media tion, the company was willing to sub init the matter to arbitration bv a board chosen as provided in the New lands act.
 Judge Hangar. one Of the commis- sioners, came immediately to San Francisco, and is engaged in endeav- bring to bring about amicable adjust ment without arbitration. Judge Chambers, the commissioner of media tion and cancellation will arrive soon.
 The subject of arbitration of dis putes between employer and employees instead of protractcd strikes or lock outs, sometimes accompanied by vio- lence and always attended by suffer ing and economic waste is one which has engaged much attention Only within a comparatively recent period. however, has the United States gov ernment formally recognized the fact that in all these controversies there is a third party to be considered. the great body Of the public. They are interested not only in seeing that justice is done between employer and emploYe, but also that public interests and convenience are not disturbed.
 While it is thought by the legal profession that under the federal con- stitutiOn it is not possible for con gress to enact a law compelling arbi tration, yet congress has gone as far in that direction as it can without passing a compulsory arbitration act Congress assumes, and properly eXer- cises, it's function with regard to rail- road employees under the very broad terms of the federal constitution con ferring power upon congress to regu late commerce among the states.
 In 1898 an arbitration act, known as the Erdman act, was passed by con gress providing for the voluntary sub mission to arbitration of any contro- versy between railroad carriers and their employees, concerning wages, hours of labor, or conditions of em ployment. the arbitration was t. be had before board of three members, one appointed by the employees, one by the employer, and the third by the first two appointees. In the event of the failure to appoint third, the chairman of the interstate commerce commission and the com missioner of labor were to select the third arbitrator. Numerous arbitra- tfons were had under this act. very example of the benefits of arbitration was the arbitration held in 1912 between the eastern railroads and the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers.

l In certain general strikes of some for
 eign countries. there have bea1 ex-
 captions made of certain employments necessary to human existence: but in l a suspension of business through

 would be no exception"
 | These observations apply to any i strike, the effect of which is to tie ! up great system of railroad. or a number of systems. If one pauses to l consider the effect upon his comfort | and upon his business of the cessation
 of railroad traffic the need for the | interposition Of the federal govern ment to the fullest extent permitted under the constitution is at once l apparent.
 The Erdman act. however, was not satisfactory to the organizations of ! railway employees. and indeed was criticized in many respects by disin- terested persons of civic prominence, who were studying the question Of ar bitra tion solely from the standpoint of public good.
 The need for the revision of the Erdman act did not become apparent until the early part of 1913, when a controversy between the railroad em ployes of many large eastern rail-
 
 again reached point where a strike was imminent that would have had the effect of paralyzing the commerce of the nation, inflicting hardship and suffering not only on those directly concerned in the dispute. but on mill lions of persons Wnose livelihood and sustenance depended on the constant movement of commerce through the network of railroads.
 A conference was had between committee representing the brother hoods of railroad employees. com mittee of railroad presidents. a com mittee from the National Civic Ted eration. headed by Hon. Seth Lowe. and the leaders ln both houses of congress irrespective of party
 A bill was prepared which met with the unanimous approval of this repre- sentative committed and which in Julv was introduced in the United States senate by Senator Newlands of Nevada. and in the house of repre- sentatives by Congressman Clayton of Alabama It passed both houses with remarkable expedition, and with practical unanimity. senators and con gressmen from all sections of the country, representing all shades of politicaI opinion and all varieties of constituency, earnestly advocating the passage of the measure as a means of averting that which was seriously regarded as nothing short of nation al calamity.
 Tn the senate, Senator Newlands stated that the bill was the result of a conference held at the White House, at which the secretary of labor was present and at which were also pre- sent representatives of the brother hoods, the committee of railway presi- dents the Civic Federation, and the leaders in house and senate. me

strike can no longer be considered as matter which primarily affects the railroad operators and employees It does affect them and affects them seriously; but the public is far more deeply concerned. Indeet, the inter- ests of the public so far exceed those of the parties to q controversy as to render the former paramount To this paramount interest both the rail road operators and employees should submit. It is therefore imperative that some other way be found to settle differences between railroads and their employees than by strikes Presidents Garretson and Lee, of the national organization of the Order of Railway Conductors and the Broth erhOod of Railroad TTainmen, which are the same organizations as those involved in the Southern Pacific dis pute, on July 24, writing on the tie up that was threatened in the east. said to the board of mediation that the NeNlands act. under which the Southern Pacific has appealed, was framed for the employe as well as the employer Part of the letter read:
 ''There never has been time V hen We had even the remotest idea that the law governing arbitration was
 
 empIoye On the contrary, we re- cognize the right of every railway to invoke it's provisions at the proper time and in the proper manner. but we will certainly not cOncede that the employer has the right to sweep aside all of the methods prescribed in the agreements on the various individual lines whenever the convenience of the employer desires unfairly to press those matters to immediate coasidera- tion. while at the same time, insisting that the employees must comply with every detail of the requirements that are so embodied. Consequently, while recognizing that, under the new law, their rights are equal to our own, we also insist upon the recognition or the fact that responsibilities an1 du- ties go hand in hand with rights, and if we must be required to assume those responsibilities and perform those duties we naturally expect that any other party to the contention shall do likewise"
 President Wilson has appointed three men of high sanding and char acter to serve upon the board or mediation and conciliation, and they are now engaged in endeaVoring to bring about an amicable adjustment .of controversies concerning wages, hours of labor and working conditions on the part of railroads in the United states, including the controversy over interchange of rights and seniority between the Southern Pacific company and the Order of Railway Conductors and the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen.
