FARMERS WANTED
AT HEARING
OF GRAIN GRADES AT FEDERAL
HEARING.

At the Federal hearing on grain
grades for North Dakota, Dr.. E. F..
Ladd, state grain inspector, urges
farmers in large numbers to be
present Saturday, Dec. 8 in the Far
go auditorium. Agents Of the Bur-
eau Of Markets, from Washington
and representatives Of elevators and
mills will be present to tell their
side OF the. story. II farmers are not
there, the Washington representatives
will come to- no other conclusion
than that farmers are satisfied with
the new grades. II farmers have
difficulties and grievances in the.
present year. when the general quail
ity Of the grain was superior to that
OF any other year. what will they
find in nearly any other year, IS says
DR.. Ladd.
DR.. sLadd explained that the per
centage of moisture In the different
grades was one of the points on
which there was criticism Of the new
grades. There iss also the question
Of the, test s weights for various
grades. Some think the test weights
are too high. It is also alleged that
the; test weights for the different
grades Of Durham wheat should be
the same as for the dark red yarie-
ties.5 !.
's 5' One Of the principal grievances Of
the farmers has been the lowering Of
grades becaNse of The presence Ct
rye, barley and other so-called in
separable seeds An the wheat. AS

U|..S..MAY TAKE 4 ]
OVER RAILROADS
DURING WAR
.(By the Associated Press)

Washington, Dec. 4.-Government
operation of railroads for the dura-
ton of the war, if unification of the
transportation systems is not per-
mitted by congress, was recommend
ed today by the interstate commerce
commission.
An increase in rates, a government
loan of money and suspension of anti
trust and anti-pooling laws as far as
railroads are concerned, for the dur
alton of the war were recommended
by. the commission as an alternative.
A joint resolution to have the gov
ernment temporarily take over and
operate all railroads and coal mines
with view to remedying transporta-
ton and price problems, was instruct
ed today by Representative SABBATH
of Illinois. It proposed that if the
temporary control should demon
strate better conditions the arrange
ment should be made permanent and
a commission created to fix upon
real compensation.
Outlining a legislative program in
the house today, Democratic Leader
Kitchen said legislation should be
confined as far as possible to ap-
preparations and war measures, but
that woman's suffrage and prohibi-
ton constitutional amendments he
expected, would be taken up and
voted on before the Christmas holi-
days.
He said conservation measures
would be considered.

BURNQUTT DECLINES
FEDERAL MEDIATION
MSTRlKE PROBLEM
Practically All Twin City In
dustries Tied Up Today by
Union Convention at St.
Paul.
(By the Associated Press)

(By the Associated Press)
St. Paul, Dec. 5.-Immediate ac-
tion by the war department towards
settlement of difficulties between
some of the employees of twin cities
railways and the company was ask
ed today in a telegram sent to Sec'y
Baker by representatives of practi-
cally every union in St. Paul, gather
ed in mass meeting in the auditori-
um.
"The situation is serious" the
telegram said. "All the railway shops
of the twin cities are idle and other
industries are equally affected"
]. M. Clancy, president of the ST.
Paul Trades and Labor Assembly and
chairman of the meeting, declared
that general tie up Of industries
was in effect The convention is at
tended by a crowd, estimated at
$4,000 and by remaining in session
indefinitely would virtually bring
about general strike in support OF
the car men ordered not to wear un-
ion buttons. Employers on the 9TH
er hand, declared that neither rail-
way shops nor other Industrial plants
were generally tied up.
Street car service continued about
80 per cent of the normal. There
was no disorder reported and more
than 1900 peace officers were on
duty. .
st. Paul, Dec. 5.--Gov Burnquist,
in message to Newton D. Baker.
Secretary of War, declined to call
upon the federal government to set
tie the street car difficulties here,
declaring that interference at this
time will simply result in an attempt
to defy duly constituted authority
in Minnesota" 1
Gov. Burnquist assured Secre-
tary Baker that he would use every
power at his command to uphold the
dignity of the state, and would not
hesitate to call upon the federal
government should conditions today
become such as to necessitate 1t.
Practically all union workmen in
St. Paul and Minneapolis are at
tending "a convention" called at 8
a. m. today at St. Paul and at which
union men are discussing the diff
culties of striking street car men to
determine what action shall be TAX
en-.
1t is planned to make the conven-
tion a continuous affair which. will
virtually mean a general strike to
win sympathy with union street car
men.
The convention opened in an or
derly manner, more than 1000
home guards and deputies patrollinE
the streets to maintain order. The
street cars, according to officials OF
the company, are running nearly ON
schedule and will continue to do so
unless rioting occurs.
Acting Sheriff E. H. Davidson
has issued a warning that no dis
turbances will be tolerated.
J.. M. Clancy, president of ST.
Paul Trade and Labor assembly, in
an address to delegates at the union
meeting, condemned Gov. Burnquist
for declining Sec'y Bakers offer OF
federal mediation.
