AVERTS EASTERN
RAILWAY STRIKE
and Men Agree to New
Plan Of Arbitration.

Washington, July 15.-Representa-
tives of the $4,000 conductors and
trainmen of Eastern railways who
have voted to strike for higher wages
and managing officers of the rail
roads agreed at the White House to
submit their differences to arbitration
under the provisions Of the New
lands-Clayton act, which President
Wilson and congressional leaders
promised to make law.
In the meantime no strike will be
declared, officials of the employees
brotherhoods agreeing to an armistice
until Wednesday night.
This victory for arbitration over
the strike was the result of a two
hour conference at the White House
between President Wilson and con-
%gressional leaders, both Republican
and Democrats, the presidents and
managers of the railroads a-d repre-
sentatives of the brotherhoods of
trainmen and conductors.

tribute $3.50 in cash as premiums for
the state show. He says that more

elevator men of Minneapolis and that
the association of commerce in St.

Washington, July I'm the amend

shall be subject to a countervailing
duty OF 10 cents a bushel; wheat tlCtlr,

ing a duty on wheat. flour or wheat
products.
The free list includes also flax straw,
flax not dressed, hemp and hemp tow;
also rye and rye flour. Oats are taxed
6 cents a bushel and barley Is cents a
bushel. All meat products are on the
free list, as we'll as hogs, cattle and
other meat food producing domestic
animals.
Furs are taxed, although the house
members from Minnesota made a
strong fight in the house to have them
placed on the free list. The fur tax
is 20 per cent ad valorem on fur.s
dressed on the skin, not further ad-
vanced than dyeing; Is per cent ad
valorem on fur articles of wearing ap-
parel partly or wholly manufactured
out of cattle, dog and goat skins, with

tains the principal provisions of the

advocated by President Wilson, free
raw wool and a provision that sugar
shall be free May 1, 1916. Sweeping

BAR CARN,vALS FROM FAIR
Radical Step Taken by Managers of
Association.

NSSOS'dStOus
Expecting record exhibits in the
live stock, poultry, agricultural and
other departments, officers Of the
North Dakota State Fair association
for Grand Forks are completing final
details for the big fair, which will
open in Grand Forks July %, continu-
ing until July 26.
Indications are that the fair will
break all previous records. Cattle en-
tries are so great that several new
barns will have to be constructed to
care for them, while in the horse de-
partment at least one new barn will
have to be erected.
One of the distinctive departures is
the elimination of the carnival fea-
ture. That a carnival attraction"
cannot be classed as an educational
feature, and is not, therefore, en-
titled to a place on the fair grounds,
is the opinion held by the officers of
the association.
Race entries are more numerous
than expected. Practically every
event has filled and for those that
did not fill special races will be
created instead. One day of auto
mobile and motorcycle racing will
be featured.
Several special trains, together
with reduced railroad fares and spe-
cial accommodations on the regular
trains have haen nrOVided bv all
roads running into the city.

BANK DEPOSITS FALL OFF
Usual Decrease Seen While Crops Are
Maturing.

A comparative statement just issued
by the state examiner for the close
of business on June 4 shows the SOB
state banks and the three trust COM
panies of North Dakota had $20,456,-
1909 in deposits subject to check,
which was a decrease of $2,3S8,359.42
from the showing on April 4.
This decrease is accounted for in
the fact that this is the time of the
year when there is demand for cash
among the farmers while their crops
are growing, as the $1,164,798.82 in
crease in loans in that period testifies.
In the same period there was an
increase of $167 ,633.45 in demand GER
tifcates Of deposit and an increase of
1894, 48O.55 in time certificates of de-
post, which shows the savings of the
