Another resolution which was

the eight-hour work day and payment
of f,time-and-a-halff for overtime in all
parts of the country. Strict observance
of the eight-hour work day in the
postoffice and other governmental de-

TELECRAPHERS'

Postal 6 Comp ny Decides not
to Lock Out Men Of
Union.

Washington. Juno 14.-Evidence
that President Wilson intends to see
that the recommendations Of the ma
tional war labor board are followed
to the letter. was seen today in tho
text of his communication to tho
heads of the two great telegraph COM
panies asking, that they accept the
boards findings in their controversy
with their employees.
The fact that the president has
personally taken, up. the case became
known last night with the announce
ment that Clarence H. Mackay, pres
ident OF the Postal Telegraph COM
pany.- that his company would waive
its. right to discharge mon who have

Union, would send his answer Mon

the national interest that decisions

should be accepted by both parties

them is to jeopardize the interests o1
the nation very seriously because !,

Today, and Conditions Are Said to
Be Improving All the Time.

The Spanish influenza which has
been prevalent here for several
weeks, appears to have lost is grip
on Grand Forks city and county. and
very few reports of new cases are
reaching the authorities. The pneu-
monia cases which have been devel-
oped from influenza. are thought to
be under control. and physicians gen.
orally are looking more enthusiastically
at the situation than at any time dur7
ing the past three weeks. At the uni
versity Students Army Training
Corps it was officially reported today
that conditions are improving, and
that no deaths have taken place in
the "base hospitals" today.
Meanwhile. the health authorities
are taking no chances, so the vac
cination of citizens, begun Wednes-
day evening. will continue in the
o'clock tonight when physicians and
nurses will be in attendance. The
vaccine used will be free as will also
the services in connection with the
vaccination.

Late Publisher OF
Tribune Was Former
Newspaper Man Here

The news of the death OF William
James Murphy, publisher Of the
Minneapolis Tribune, came as a shock
to many residents of Grand Forks
who knew Mr.. Murphy during his
residence here.
Before going to Minneapolis in
1891. when he purchased the Tribune
owner, MI. Murphy lived in Grand
Forks and was in business here as
manager of the Grand Forks Plain
Dealer and of the Grand Forks Gas
and Electric company.
In 1880, the Plaindealer, under the
management of Mr.. Murphy vas a
small weekly, but two years later it
was published as a daily. 1t then
took it's place among the leading pa
pers Of the northwest. In 1884, the
printing plant was destroyed by fire,
better plant. Additional departments
Of bookbinding and job printing were
also included in the new establish
ment.
Under the management Of Mr.. Muir
ply, the Grand Forks Gas company
was reorganized and financed and be-
came one of the most complete plants
Of its kind in the vest. Mr.. Murphy
also owned power companies in
Srookston ana Hed Lake fallS, n at
the time of his death owned the plant
at Crookston.
In 1889. Mr.. Murphy sold out his
interests in The P~laindealer, and
moved to Minneapolis where he pur-
chased the Tribune, and since that
time has organized it intb one of the
most successful newspapers of the
northwest. 81.
Mr.. Murphy was born in St. Croix
county, Wisconsin, in 1859. He is
| survived by a widow and one son.
