STRIKE ORDERED
SEPTEMBER 9TH.

A strike on all railroads in the
United States has been ordered and
the men comprising the four great
bretherhoods, amounting to about
100000 are ordered to walk out at :.
A. NJ, of that day, and unless there
is some immediate action taken oy
congress to head it off we may look
for one of the greatest railroad
strikes in the history of the railroad
business. At the present time, con-
gress seems to be wrestling with the
problem, but what will be done re-
mains to be seen. All railroads are
making preparations for the clash.
and are refusing all perishable
freight. Unless something further de-
velops between now and Monday
morning the war is on, and the gener-
al public will have to foot the bill.

DIES AMONG
STRANGERS
.rtes41-H-

A young man, who was recently
found in a box car at Wolford, was
brought to the Mercy hospital in this
city, and was found to be in the last
stages of typhoid fever and was de-
,lerioYs from the time he reached here.
From papers in his pockets it was
believed that his name was John
Borton, and his home at Memphis,
Tenn. His parents were written to
at once but no reply was received un-
til after his death. A. telegram was
sent asking for instructions as to his
burial. He was a young man OF
about 20 years, and it is evident tina;
after being taken with the fever he
sought refuge in a box car where he
was later found, but his condition was
such that he passed away as above
stated.

ARMY DESERTERS

Washington, Aug. 3O.-Men with
long, tapering "piano" fingers are apt
to desert after short service, while
those having stubby digits, denotir::
stability Of character and utter LACK
of artistic temperament, usually stand
by their oaths and make the best
Marines, according to finger prolnt
experts at the headquarters of the
United States Marine Corps.
Although desertions from the
Corps are light at all times it has
been found that actors, sign writers,
and, strange to say, walters furnish
the largest number of deserters.
Records, including finger prints, Of
all men enlisted in the Marine Corps
are kept at headquarters for the pur-
pose Of identification, there are cases
on record where bodies, with finger
tips intact, have been positively iden.
titled through the finger print med

COUNTY LEAGUE
HOLD MEETING
DEMOCRATS MAKING EFFORT
TO CONTROL REPRESENTA-
TIvES FROM THIS COUNTY.

Last Saturday afternoon there was
la meeting Of a few members Of the
Non-partisan League of this county
held at the court house, the main OBJ
ject seemed to be to Glitch" the Re-
publican members Of the legislature
and senator nominated at the primar-'
les and endorse Democrats for the
place. VIM. Lemke of Fargo was
here to see that things were conducted
according to "hoyle", and the main
bone of contention was to put Frank
Hyland and P. H. Kelly on the shelf,
by endorsing men against them.
However, it did not seem to fit very
we'll to stuff a man of Walter Full
kerson's calibre down the throats of
the people, and therefore Myron King
a we'll known farmer of Starkweather
was endorsed, provided he would ac-
rept the nomination for senator, and
for the House, Fred Zessens, who was
nominated by the Democrats, was en-
dorsed by the league to run against
P. II. Kelly, who won the nomination
on the Republican ticket, and probab-
ly the most representative farmer
that Ramsey county has ever had in
the legislature. If King refuses the
nomination in all probability F'ulktr-
son will then be endorsed, and this
would leave all the league candidates
for the House and Senate, but one,
from this county, prominent Demo-
Gratis. Up to the present time we
have not learned whether Mr.. King
Twill accept the endorsement or not,
but if he does there will probably be
three candidates in the field for Sen
ator from this county. To a man up
a tree looks as though the Demo-
Gratis of this county were playing
with the league in order to get the,
men to the legislature, but whether
the Republican members of the league
are going to stand for their game re-
mains to be seen.

TRA|NMEN TO
WALK OUT MON


The Grand Forks Herald says: It
was understood in local railroad cir
cles Monday evening that trainmen
belonging to the four American
Brotherhoods have received instruc-
tions from officials of the organiza-
tion to "walk out" at z a. M, Mon
day morning, Sept. 4.
Negotiations thus far have failed
at Washington, and unless railway
heads yield there seems no way to
avert the catastrophe. Railway men
here are preparing to follow out the
order unless something is heard to
the contrary in the very near future.

ORDER REFUSING THEM WILL
PROBABLY BE ISSUED TO ALL
AGENTS TO-DAY.

st. Paul, Aug. 20. - Fortifying
themselves against the most critical
condition that may arise thru the
strike of brotherhood men, officials OF
the Great Northern railroad today
for the first time inaugurated plans
for placing an embargo on consign-
ments Of perishable freight and live
stock, and an order refusing such con.
signments will probably 60 out to 10:
cal agents tomorrow.
Other Lines Will Follow.
The Northern Pacific and Oman;
roads have not yet prepared such or
ders but officials of these two line:
said tonight that such action will
probably be taken shortly unles:
promise of an amicable adjustment o1
the controversy becomes apparent to
morrow.
: The Omaha officials said that the,
would not be called upon to act will
so much haste as some of the trans
continental lines but that they woul,
protect themselves and shippers.
Covers All Perishables.
The Great Northern officials, ac
cording to J. M. Gruber, vice presl
dent in charge of traffic, said, tonigh

order tomorrow.

and live stock and after tomorrow n
consignments Of freight Of a perisha
BILE nature or livestock will be re
ceived.
Following this an order to receiv
no freight of any character only a

MACFADDEN WARNS
AGAINST SWINDLERS


w. c. Macfadden, secretary of the
North Dakota Bankers association,
issued warning yesterday against
swindlers who are thought to be work
ing their way towards the state at
tempting to dispose of stock in feder-
al reserve banks.
"No money should be paid these
men," said Macfadden, after he had
told the local police to be on the look
out for the swindlers.
There have been no cases reported
in North Dakota yet, but numbe~
of farmers in Minnesota, Idaho, and
Montana are known to have paid over
their money never to see It again.

FAIRS P0STP0NEMENI
SEEN IN CONFERENCE

Postponement of the state fair due
to the impending strike is foreshad-
owed in directors meeting being
held at the Fair grounds this after
noon.
Secretary j. C. Simpson summoned
the board Immediately upon hearing
of the seriousness of the situation.
Six of the nine members We're in the
city.
"A strike certainly will upset things
out here, and affairs will be in SER
ious condition." said Mr.. Simpson.
"If passenger trains were stopped we
could not have a fair all next week,
of course. Even if only the freight
trains are tied up don't see how we
can have much of a fair"
The advisability of setting a later
date for the exposition was one Of the
reasons for calling the meeting, ac-
cording to Mr.. Simpson. He would
not predict what decision, will be
go ahead with the Fair, they will have
to arrange for some way Of getting
the large quantities of supplies need
ed on the grounds during the week,
and some disposition for the ANIMALS
and other exhibits after the fai: is
over. Probability that many exhibi-
tors and racers will not bring their
equipment with a strike in view is
another problem that faces the Ii
rectors.-St. Paul Dispatch.

THRESH|NG
RESULTS

Threshing has advanced far enough
80 that farmers are now able to tel!
something Of the yields. Many ma
chimes have been running the past
week, and while some are handicap
ped on account of shortage Of men,
most machines are getting plenty Of
help to make up complete crews. The
I. W. W.'s have been much in evidence
on the streets, and the leaders have
been doing their best to keep men
from going out to work, but a large
percentage of the men who have come
to this section this fall are here to
work, and realizing that the threshing
season is going to be short, they have
taken jobs and gone out to work.
The going wages is So per day, while
we understand that some machines
have been paying little more than
this. Wheat is going from 4 to is
bushels to the acre, and the quality
poor. The average yield for the coun-
ty will probably be about five bushels
to the acre. Barley is also running
light and ola rather poor quality,
weighing about 40 pounds to the
bushel. Oats are a little better, and
quality is fairly good Just what
flax will be has not been determined
yet, as it is not yet ripe, but there
may be a fair yield of flax, although
the acreage is small. Corn is looking
fine and with two more weeks with
out frost there will be some splen-
did corn fields in the county. AS c
whole the crop is on the light order
but the price promises fairly good
and the farmers will realize more out
of their crop than was anticipated
three weeks ago.

TAKE CARE OF
FARM MACHINERY

Most farm implements rust out be-
fore they wear out. Proper housing
will offset rust and corrosion to a
large extent, but in damp weather the
best method of preventing rlust is to
coat all unpainted- parts of tn ma
chinery with heavy oil, thick enough
so it will not run off. This coating
keeps the air and moisture away and
prevents rust from starting.

employees DEVIDED AS
TO EFFECT Of ENACTMENT
Of WILSON'S PROGRAM

Brotherhood opposition to the eight
hour day plan is based on the ground
that it does not approach their pres
ent demands. They want the eight
hour day, they insist, and believe in
it's principle, but along with it they
want their present ten hours day.
AS Congress is not empowered to
regulate wages, but may only regu-
late hours of labor in interstate COM
merce, they do not see enough mater-
ial advantage to them in the Presi-
dents eight hour day proposal to
warrant them making a 6ght for it.
They believe the railroads will fight
it because it would; mean that they
will have to give the eight hour day
to the unorganized 80 per cent of all
present railroad employees.

Disagree ON Legality.


On the question of weather enact
ment of the presidents program into
law before next Monday would auto
matically prevent the strike, attor-
neys whom the brotherhood heads
have consulted and even the brother
hood heads themselves have disagreed
Some hold that inasmuch as the date
on the strike order is August IA when
supposedly, it was drawn, and it wis
actually sent out last Sunday, az,
law enacted since that time would
have no effect.
On the other hand, one of the best
informed men of the brotherhoods in
sist they would be responsible under
any law enacted before the strike &C
tually went into effect regardless o1
when the strike was ordered.

Uncertainty as to Order.

With that conviction he is going
ahead to fight the compulsory invSs.
tigation feature.
When the strike orders were hand
ed out Sunday certain brotherhoo I
men said that they were to be held
for release on certain date and thct
at time, generally reported to have
been Sept. 1, brotherhood leaders here
would send out code word putting
the strike orders into effect three days
later. No official statement regard
ing that or any other feature of the
strike orders was forthcoming from
the brotherhood heads.
