NOVEMBER 28
DR.. Erich Sorantin, Eminent
Viennese Violinist, Billed for
Concert Appearance.

Following the success attained in
furnishing the people of the city high
class artists last year, Frank v. DiNino
instructor of instrumental music in the
Ely schools, has secured one of the
worlds most eminent violinists for the
evening of Sunday, November %, at 8:15
o'clock at the Washington auditorium
through Harry Culbertson, Inc, of
Chicago.
DR.. Erich Sorantin noted VienneSe
violinist will appear on that evening in
a program of unusual interest to the
music loving people of this city. DR..
Sorantin has travelled extensively and
has appeared in all the principal cities
of the world. He has had many in
teresting experiences one of which is
related below:
The evening after a concert appear
ance in Rio de Janeiro he was about to
retire when a visitor insisted that the
famous violiniSt must accept his invita-
ton to drive with him to an eStancia
quite distance from the Brazilian
capital Inasmuch as Dr. Sorantin
could not understand Portuguese at that
time he was unable to understand the
real reason of the request. He felt
suspicious and saked the hotel clerk to
phone the police in case he did not re-
turn at a given time.
DR.. Sorantin was greatly surprised
when his host presented him with an
expensive old Italian violin and asked
him to play for his beautiful wife who
had been i'll and longed to hear the
soothing melodies of the great violinist.

Conference Fails to
Settle Rift of lacks
and I in1ber Operators
Representatives of Union
Meet With Operators to
Seek Settlement.
NO AGREEMENT SET
H. Homer and G. Fortier,
Ely Employers, Assert
No Winter Work.

After having spent the past week in
parley with representatives of the
Timber Workers union and the Tim
Der Producers at Duluth, the represent
tativeS of the state industrial COM
mission, A. E. Smith, who had come
up from st. Paul to attempt an adjust
ment of the differences, returned to St.
Paul claiming the conferences were
futile.
In consequence the direct action of
Governor Benson was sought and a
committee of farmers and union men,
berS met with the governor Monday. As
a result of this meeting, the farmers in
the Cloquet district were given per-
mission to log and haul their timber
without being molested by the strikers.
Farmers in the timber section of the
state are hard hit by the strike as a
large measure Of their living during the
winter months has been secured by the
sale of pulp wood to the paper mills.
In releasing the Cloquet and Carlton
farmers from the embargo, some relief
has been afforded.
Harry j. Homer and Cyrille Fortier,
local timber operators spent last week
at the conference in Duluth. Mr.. Ho-
mer told Miner reporter on his re-
turn from the conference that there is
no immediate hope Of settlement and
that he thought timber operations in
this vicinity would be at a standstill
for the winter.
He also stated that the large Wis
consin paper companies were out of
the local market and were getting their
pulp from Canadian points at lower
prices than Minnesota jobbers could
furnish it under the set-up proposed.
He was of the opinion that the pulp
business was "Shot" for this year. The
delivery of logs and mining timber also
was out of the question.
This morning we learn that Interna-
tional Falls is hard hit by the strike
which has affected them for some
time. The statement is made that only
three weeks pulp wood is at hand to
keep the mills in operation. Should
the mills be compelled to close, thou
sands would be out of employment
and the business people of the Falls
are worried
The Timber Operators have submit
ted schedule of wages for woods work
to the Workers union beginning with a
minimum wage in the camps of $50.
This is not acceptable to the union
leaders as there is no clause in the
schedule submitted for closed shop
and the hiring and firing of all lumber
jacks by the union for the camps of
northern Minnesota.
In the settlement with the farmers
in the Cloquet district, the following
points were embodied:
1. Small independent farmers oper-

Collective Nouns.
BY w. CURTIS NICHOLSON.

DA W. SOhA1S NlC1OLSoON.
THE following letter has been re-
ceived from Hugo s. Schmidt of
Hoboken. N. j:
THE question OF number in collec-
tive nouns has always been a puzzle
to me. For example, do not see why
a singular verb should not always fol-
low noun like jury Jury is in the
singular number, and so why make
such a mystery about it? Why not
have clear-cut law that a singular
verb should follow any noun, when
the form of that noun is singular.
Then, Of course, there would be no
doubt in any ones mind what verb
should be used.
If you do not mind, maybe you
could illustrate your points with such
nouns as jury, committee and
audience"
The choice Of singular or plural
verbs with collective nouns depends
on whether these nouns are thought
OF as representing individuals acting
independently of one another or as a
unit. Examples: The jury has been
discharged, The jury have been dis
cussing the verdict. The committee
has your proposal before it. The COM
m1ttee are not in agreement.

not too far from London, because he
frequently went to the city to check up
on various interests.
One day the nobleman telephoned
for an appointment with his doctor

he discovered that of the two available
means of transportation one would get
him to London at l o'clock, travelling
at Is miles per hour, and the other
would get him there at o'clock, trav-
cling at 10 miles per hour. So his
problem was to decide whether to be
an hour late or an hour early, but

How 1t Started
"Desultory."
BY JEAN NEWTON.

BY JEAN NEWTON.
"DEsULToRY" implies more than
just constant changing-going
after new things.
It implies an aimless, senseless
shifting, a jumping from one thing
to another at random, skipping about
for the sake of skipping about.
This usage Of the day is quite in
keeping with its curious origin.
The root of the word means liter
ally to jump down, and in Latin a
desultor is one who leaps fitfully from
place to place-as from the back of
one horse to another, never remain
ing on the same one for any length
Of time.
AS was to be expected, it was Just
matter Of time for the word to be
f1guratively reQuisitioned to describe
a similar mental propensity.
