Western Electric Co.,
4 Jamestown, Raises Rates
that Jamestown win Fight
Increase and May Take It to
Court.

jamestown, N. D., Aug. 3.-With-
out preliminary public announcement
Of Its plans save that brought out in
the rate hearing held here some four
weeks ago before the state railroad
commissioners, the Western Electric
company has sent circular letters to
its patrons, announcing increased
rates for lighting and power. Up un-
til a few months ago. the lighting rate
was IL cents per K. W. H. It was
then changed by the addition Of a
surcharge of 10 per cent, and now it
is again increased, this time to Is
cents per X. W. H.
The power rate for motors of one
horsepower or more is ten cents per
X. ". II. per horse power for the first
two hundred units, and the minimum
monthly service charge-which has
been a bone Of contention for several
years-it left at 81 per horse power
of connected capacity. E
It is not known just what effect this
change will have on the proceedings
before the railroad commissioners.
The city of jamestown refused to pay
the surcharge Of the last few months,
and 1t is probable that the name ac-
ton will be taken in regard to the
present change.

Buenos Aires, July 20.-The No

this manner, is ~$169,848,871 gold, the
totals Of both imports and exports be.
ing distinctly larger than they would
have been had the old method of val.

greater interest to the foreign COM
munities resident and trading here is
the remarkable n in which tho
state of war in Europe and North
America has altered the course Of
shipments. The United States lead
the countries dealing with Argentina
at the close of 1917, with imports ag-
gregating $138, 000, 900 and exports to-
falling $751;, 600, 600. The United

RAILWAY
STRIKE CALLED OFF
Ultinnntum' OF American Federation OF
Labor Refused to Allow Strike.

Winnipeg, Man., Aug. 3.-The
strike of railway shopmen
throughout Canada is off, for the
present, at least
The ultimatum from the railway
department of the American Fedora
ton of Labor, which warned officials
Of the Canadian shipments unions
that they would be communicated
from the international body IL they
struck, prevented the Canadian, off,
Gals from issuing their strike call.
The ultimatum from the American
officials also has caused a split in the
committee that has been in Montreal
several weeks negotiating with the
railway war board. Western repre-
sentatives were in favor Of defying the
American Federation and going ahead
with the strike. while eastern dele
gates counselled maintaining friendly
relations with the international or
~ganization. d
The committee adjourned Indefinite
ly. Westerners declare they will de-
fy the American federation and go
ahead with plans for the strike.
Results from the latest strike vote
showed the west almost solid for
striking, in defiance Of the American
ultimatum, and the east almost equal
ly Al solid against striking. The next
move will come from winnipeg.
