New York. jan. 3I.-ltepresentatives
of the railroads in conference prepared
another statement I'm a final effort to
Induce firemen on the ~tifty-four eastern
railroads to call a halt In the balloting,
which now seems certain to result In q
verdict In favor of a strike.
The basis of the statement Is in the
nature of Il plea for arbitration under
the scheme fostered by the railroads
and similar to the one used In the set
Element of grievances of the engineers.
The roads point o Il that. though II
took the committee OF seven many
months to settle the question. the-en-
Einemen finally received al increase
amounting to 5 per cent, with the addi-
tional advantage that it was retroac.
tive, the men receiving the Increased
pay from the date of the filing Of the
grievance.
Demand Erdman Act Body.
AS an exception TO this the tiremen
declare that they win not arbltrate I'M
less 1t is In accordance with the Erd-
man act, a federal statute which pro-
yides for a committee of three-one
from each side, they to choose the
third.
They add that, even though they did
ngree TO the scheme proposed by the
railroads. they as yet have Ind no as
surance that any increase they might
receive would be retroactive. as in the
case Of the enginemen.
Take Vote to Strike.
Conductors and trainmen on these
hfty-four eastern railroads where the
tiremen are alrendy voting whether to

demands for II wage increase. The re-
luctance Of the railroads to grant an
Increase TO the bremen Is said to be be-
cause they fear that In yielding to this
demand they would increase the move
mem among the conductors aud train
men to make similar demands. Forty
thousand firemen are expected 10 quit
work when the strike order. now being
voted on, is given.

why the railroads refused to have the

union day at the San Francisco ex-
position in 1915. This suggestion came
from the alumni on the Pacific Coast,
most OF whom were unable to be here
and q day and maybe q week will be
selected and a place Of meeting on
the exposition grounds arranged for.
Then old students on the coast visit
ing the exposition at any time will
leave their addresses, so their old
friends from the east can look them
up.

by four of It's members-Mrs. Sarah
Haber Cunningham OF Spokane, Wash,
Mrs. Grace Lawshe Brooke Of st. Paul,
Banker L. X. Larson OF Dell Rapids,
and H. H. Korstad, Of Brookings.

the pleasant events Of q pleasant week.

at Wenona hall Miss Anna Nilsson of

There were a large number of old
students here who were not graduates.

which he earned, after a twenty-five

The weather during the week, while
it did not rain, was not ideal. The

wind blew the last day or two.
Prof. Kerr had a great time, mingl-

we're all delighted to see the professor

OUR ANNIVERSARY

The Brookings Register Is 81 years
old and its editor, Paul butcher, has
been in the newspaper business in this
state continuously for 29 years. The
Register is a first class newspaper and
geographically one of the handsomest
papers in the northwest.-Iroquois
Chief. -
The Brookings Register began it's
thirty-second year last week. Brook
ings is another South Dakota town that
has always been blessed with excellent
newspaper service. The Register
couldn't help being exceptionally e
celleht with Paul butcher at its head,
and we think he has been nowhere else
during all these last thirty-one years
yermillion Republican.
The Brookings, s. D., Register enter
ed its twenty4fourth year with its last
number. It was founded by Paul
butcher and G.. N. Breed. and Mr..
butcher still is with the paper. In
1892 the Register absorbed the Brook
ings Sentinel and in 1905 the Brook
ings Individual was purchased and
merged with the Register. In 1906 the
business was incorporated as the Reg,
lister Publishing Company and publica.
tion Of the Minnesota and Dakota
Farmer begun. This paper was bril-
liantly successful and In 1910 raj sold
to the Orange Judd Company and re-
moved to Minneapolis, where 1t Is now
published ais the Northwest Farmstead.
MI. butcher, the senior member OF the
1irm, has been In the newspaper har-
ness since 1884. The Register has sub
stantial basis for its claim that 1t
takes rank among the best weeklies
OF the state."-Sioux City Journal.

he was here the faculty members did

ment in the college and city and stated
that Brookings-its Main street except.
ed was the prettiest town in the
Northwest. Prof. Keffer was at head
of the horticultural department and
had charge of the planting Of the many
beautiful tree about the campus,
which served as an example to the
citizens Of Brookings and was respon-
sible for the planting of the many
handsome shade trees of which the
city boasts. Prof. Keffer gave some
good advice to the present graduating
class, warning them that the next ten
years, would be the hardest Of their
lives, and only by hard work and per.
severance would they win success. A
pleasing feature of the program was !
reading by Mrs. Sinclair, a student
here about twenty years ago. Mrs.
Sinclair has spent some time upon the
public platform and is widely known
as a reader, writer and lecturer. She
has a charm of n and q pleasing
personality that captivated her au-
dience, and her reading was received
with enthusiastic applause.
