the bill-one for each syllable Of his
name-wtll be presented to the four
brotherhood heads, A. B. Garyetson. w.
G. Lee, w. S. Carter and w. S. Stone,
after being used for resigning the bill
on Tuesday.
No ceremony attended the signing.
Originally 1t had been planned that the
president should go to the White
House, but this was changed, and in
stead, Rudolph Forester, assistant Sec
retary to the president. took the bill
to the train. Near the car window Il
group of trainmen in their overalls
paused long enough to watch the pres
ident write his name. An engineer,
passing on a yard engine, celebrated
the occasion with several prolonged
blasts Of his whistle.
While at the station the president
sent Secretary Tumulty to the home Of
Majority Leader Kern Of the senate,
to urge that the senate pass the Webb
bill. passed Saturday by the house, de-
signed to permit American firms to
utilize common selling agencies abroad
without violating the Sherman anti
trust law.
Later the president and Mrs. Wilson
took an automobile ride about the city.

1t developed today that the brother
hood heads before being summoned to
Washington by President Wilson three
weeks ago, had agreed to call strike
effective August 20. The orders then
drafted were used when the strike fl
nallv was set for Labor day. After
having been printed in preparation for
the proposed strike on August 20, they
were locked in a vault in New York.

Wilson sianed Bill Sunday.

Wilson Signed Bill Sunday.
The Adamson eight hour day bill,
eXacted from congress last week by
the railroad brotherhoods as the price
Of calling off the nation wide strike
ordered for today, was signed by Pres
ident Wilson Sunday in his private
car at Union station, where he stopped
on his way from Shadow Lawn, n. j.,
to Hodgenville, Ky. That there may
be no question as to the legality Of the
measure as a result of it having been
signed on Sunday, the president will
affiX his signature again upon his re-
turn to Washington next Tuesday.
How long peace shall reign as re-
suit of the bill apparently is dependent
upon developments in the proposed
move to test the constitutionality of
the act. Should the railroads take no
action, but await the beginning Of an
investigation Of the workings of the
eight-hour day by the special commits
sion for which the measure provides,
the brotherhoods will remain inactive.
The employees, leaders declare, how
ever, that should the law be held un-
constitutional and the railroads at
tempt to restore the ten-hour day on
their lines, a strike will follow prompt
ly.
Brotherhood heads, in circular let
ter 10 their poembers,t made no com
ment on the measure hs passed. They
merely pointed out that it would not
become effective until next Jan. l, and
that many things might occur between
now and then which would change
materially any suggestions or COM
ments they might make.
None of the brotherhood leaders wit
messed the signing OF the bill. They
had expected, according to tentative
arrangements made by Secretary Will
son last night, to be present. but the
president decided to attend to the bus
mess q the railroad station and news
paper correspondents gave them their
first information about 1t. The four
pens used by the president in signing

CHEAPER STOCK FEED SEEN

Establishment of a terminal ele-
Vator within North Dakota will open
the way to more rapid development of
the dairying and beef cattle industry
than any other single agency, in the
opinion of John N. Hagan, of Deer
ing, Republican nominee for the post
of commissioner of agriculture and
Fargo today, and who speaks at the
Union Labor day celebration this af-
ternoon.
"Given terminal facilities within
the state" said Mr.. Hagan to The
Forum this morning, farmers would
be able to purchase feed at much
lower cost than at the present time.
firmly believe that the Minnesota
dairying industry has developed so
simply because the farmers of that
state were closer to the supply of
bran, shorts, ETC., reducing the cost.
Cheap By-produets.
By-products at the terminals are
the bran, shorts. screenings. ETC., and
the farmers of this state supply them
At the terminals, the by-products are
obtained, and in the purchase of these,
farmers close to the supply are given
the greatest advantages.
Remove the base of supply by
establishing a terminal elevator In
North Dakota, and you will have taken
an important step towards the ad-
vancement Of the states dairying in
dustry."
Mr.. Hagan, in discussing the posi-
bilities opened to the man who holds
the post of commissioner of agricul-
ture and labor, declared his firm belief
that that official should give every
possible aid to the cooperative mar
keting of the states products.
Aid Graingrowers.
North Dakota must become a mix
