Peterson, of Towner county, as the
men against whom the Grand Forks
legislator directed his appeal to the
house. ..'
In a statement defending his own
position against, what he termed, the
constant insinuation and Questioning
of motives the refusal to discuss bills
on their merits, but, instead, hurting
personal remarks at members, Mr. o.
Conner declared the time had come
to make his own position clear, and to
let the house know just what he
employed by at least two members of
the house.
The bill proposing an amendment to
the present peddlers' act in such man
ner as to permit the vendors of agri-
cultural products to handle their
wares without being charged peddlers
or itinerant merchants licenses, was
under discussion. and Mr.. O'Connor
had asked an explanation. He sug-
gested the possibility that the raising
OF the bars would be to the injury of
the local merchant, and asked the
author, Mr.. Weld, OF Wells. to explain
the purpose of the measure.
Mr.. Weld made such explanation,
declaring his belief that the amend
ment would make it possible for
vendors of apples. and other fruits, to
sell directly to consumers. at a lower
price thar now obtainable.
1t was at this point that Mr.. Stair,
of Bottineau, entered the discussion.
He said he had listened to the
gentleman from Grand Forks, (Mr. o.
Connor), discuss troubles of the local
merchant, and he suggested that IL
Mr.. O'Connor owed the country mer
chants anything, he might go out and
pay them.
"But fear" said Stair. that the
gentleman has more interest in Nash

has in the country merchants"
That was the challenge that brought
O'Connor's retort.

unusual challenge, issued on the floor OF

speaker, trained his guns on the Bot

Owing to the unfair position into
which the major league owners have

the owners the following proposal:
It'd release all players from their

understanding that the owners will
not discriminate against fraternity
players, or discipline them for their
loyalty to the fraternity in observing
their pledges" b.
Early in the day Manager McGraw,
