H. =. Byram OF the Burlington has

statement Of the differences which
have caused a general strike order
for August 7. The communication fol

Chicago, ILL.,, July 81, 1914.
All Officers and Employees c., B. &.
O.:
The representatives Of the engineers
and firemen of the western railroads
have failed to agree with the mana
gers committee in the negotiations
for revision Of schedule and as strike
OF the engineers and firemen on the
western railroads including the Bur
lington being imminent, it seems APP
propriate that the officers and EN-
ployes of the Burlington should be
advised briefly Of the points Of differ
ence. Both the railroad companies
and the men are willing to accept ar.
bitration but the difficulty Is on ac-
count OF the inability Of the COM
panies and the men to agree on the
matter that should be arbitrated. The
engineers and fremen have agreed to
restore the schedules which were
cancelled on October 10, 1913, they
have agreed to arbitrate. their propo-
sition Of October 10, 1913, for re-
vised schedule but are not willing that
the schedule proposed by the rail-
roads should be considered by the
board of arbitration.
The railroad companies are willing
to restore the schedules which were
cancelled on October 10, 1913, and to
arbitrate the proposition presented by
the engineers and firemen dated Octo-
Der 10, 1913, they desire also to have
the proposition Of the railroads con-
sidered by the board of arbitration.
The railroads are willing to agree
that If their proposition is considered
by the board and the schedule award
ed by the board is not as satisfactory
as the old schedule the enginemen on
any railroad can elect to continue the
old schedule instead of the one award
ed by the board 1t is also agreed by
the railroads that II their proposed
schedule is accepted that the pay of
the enginemen as whole will not be
less than it is at the present time by
reason of changing the methods of
computing pay.

Weekly Grain Review,

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service1
CHICAGO, Aug. War talk this
week upset the grain situation and
threw the wheat pit into the widest
panic in nearly half a century. Small
fortunes were made and lost early in
the week, but despite this fact, no
failures were recorded and at the
close today pit leaders agreed that
conditions had about returned to nor
NAL.
The net result Of the upheaval that
started the first Of the week was that
September wheat at the close was Az
higher than at last Saturdays close
and December showed a gain for the
week of 6ss. July futures which
closed out yesterday made CORES
ponding gains.
Threatened war in Europe was the
cause for the spectacular jump OF 6
to 10 cents in wheat prices within q
few minutes. When later developments
showed general European war, a
near actually, the trade suddenly re-
verse6 itself and in the scramble to
sell, another panic resulted and prices
were driven down.
Corn had sharp advances early in
the week on the war news and re-
ports of conditions of drought, but
lost most of the advance on Friday
when wheat was under pressure. Trad
ers forced an advance today and at
the close September was 2A above
last Saturdays close.
Heavy movements Of new oats
caused futures to participate less ac-
lively in upward movements of other
grains, but the close today found Sep
TENDER IL and December ia over
last weeks close.
Provisions fuctuated on the war
news, making steady advances early
in the week and sagging toward the
close today when prices for pork and
lard We're shade under last weeks

RULINGS ARE MADE
BY COURT IN CASES
Collateral Tax on Hulskamp Estate
and Sanders-SutIfve Issues
Decided.

Rulings were made yesterday by
Judge Bank in the district court in
the collateral Inheritance tax case Of
Gerard l.. Huiskamp and In the San
ders-Sutlive Brothers case. Both
on important issues in both cases.
In the case Of J. F. Sanders vs..
Sutlive Brothers, the court overrules
the plaintiffs motion to strife and
for more specific statement The de-
PENDANTS motion for Judgment on
precendendo heretofore filed, has
been sustained by the court.
In the Huiskamp collateral inheri-

tance tax case, the court held that it
was possible for the property to be
taxed in more than one state. 1t
appears from the papers in the case
that some stock in the Eastman Ko-
dak company owned by the estate
was taxed for its transfer to the de-
visee In the state Of New Jersey.
The court held his personal property
was subject to the Iowa collateral in
heritance tax.
If the Hollenbeck home were main
tanned in Iowa it would be exempt
from taxation.

AND ASK NEW ESTIMATES
George Washington school built in

George Washington school built in
1909.
No action could be taken by the
committee, but the prevailing senti-
ment seemed to be in committee that
Ell the bids ought to be rejected and
new bids asked for. Some members
Of the board not on the committee,
seemed to favor this at least prima
facie. The question of whether to
reject all bids and begin all over
again or award the contract on the
bids received yesterday will come up
at the meeting OF the board called
for tomorrow evening.
Beck 10 Lowest.
The lowest bidder for the general
construction work was II. A. Beck Of
Burlington. Mr.. Beck was one of the
disappointed men in the bids for the
other buildings and he was feared by
the local men, His bid Of $33,975
was the lowest of any submitted. He
offers to do the excavating at Sc
cents per cubic yard and the con-
crete necessary at Sc per cubic yard.
The other bids for general construc-
ticn were as follows:
How Local Men Bid.
Emil G. Lindstrand, $36,195. Ex-
cavating at so cents per cubic yard
and concrete at $500
Griffey & Son, $36,314. Excavating
at 65 cents and concrete at $3.50.
John w. Young, $36,s32.0O. Elk
cavating at 55 cents and concrete at
s5.25.
Carl T. Huffman, $45,16O. No price
on excavations and $500 for concrete.
Heating System Cost.
On the bids for heating and VEN
tilating, the King Plumbing Co., was
the only bidder. The bid of this con.
Germ was for $500 for the Kewanee
boilers. For the humidif1er system
$3.50 was to be added. For cast iron
boilers in place of the others, $500.
Plumbing Bids.

Schedule but Slightly Changed.

The schedule proposed by the rail-
roads does not change any Of the es-
sentiai feature Of the schedule now in
effect and does not contemplate chang
ing the present unit Of 10 hours or
100 miles for a days work the term
service period to which objection has
been made Withdrawn by the railroads
during the negotiations and Is there
fore not part Of the issue at the
present time, it will be seen there
fore that the only difference between
the companies and the men is the
question Of allowing the railroads the
privilege of having their claims as
well as the claims of the men consid-
cred by the board Of arbitration. This
in substance is the exact situation as
it stands today and the company feels,
that it would be most unfortunate II
a strike with its attendant losses and
discomforts should follow
Remember this Is an important fact
that the railroad companies are simply
asking for their rights to have their
claims as well as the claims OF the
men considered by the board Of arbi-
tration but with the guarantee that
the enginemen as whole will not
receive less pay than they are at the
present time If any or all Of the
claims Of the railroads are granted.
There is no certainty that the board
OF arbitration will grant the claims
of either the men or the railroads so
that even If any of the railroad COM
panies' claims are granted, 1t would
only be after a hearing of all sides
of the case before fair and impair
tial board Of arbitration.

To show the people that the so
called desert is populated with pub
lic-spirited, generous-hearted and pa
triotic American citizens we are going
to celebrate the Fourth in regular old
down Easter" fashion with a Sunday
school picnic. The celebration will
take place at the Tompkin's school
house. The ceremonies may be de-
void of the usual sunrise salute and
the boom of cannon. but the scream
of the American eagle will make up
for the deficiency. 1t being tho first
of the kind to be introduced in this
section of the county, the neighbors
are leaving no stone unturned to
make it a grand success, and cor
dial invitation is extended to any
body and everybody from far and
near to join us in celebrating the one
great day of America. An elaborate
pleasure program has been arranged
something in the following order:
The address Of welcome will be de
livered by Mrs. w. J. Tharp, and then
the Sunday school win sing "Amer
ica," which will be followed by the
reading Of the Declaration Of indie
pendence" by M. D. Bowen; solo

The crop prospects in this dry Sec
ton are not so encouraging as they
were two months ago. Last spring
crops of all kinds never looked bet
ter, but the dry spell Of April and
May held out so long that it stunted
the winter grain so bad that 1t has
never been able to fully recuperate.
consequently the winter grain is very
poor. Early sown spring grain IL
most decidedly the best. and those
who got their grain in early will
harvest a good crop, while late sown
grain is not fareing SO we'll.
