Strom, a Special Agent of the Postoffice Department, Is Coming to Bemidji. It appears that the postoffice department is going to enforce the ruling that all subscribers must be paid in advance. The Ivanhoe Times has the following to say in this regard: “H. A. Strom, a special agent of the postoffice department, is now engaged in making the rounds of the newspapers in this vicinity, inspecting the subscription lists and seeing that they are complying with the rules which require that they shall not allow subscribers to be in arrears more than twelve months. “The newspapers designated in general terms ‘country’ are more or less -inconvenienced by this step taken by the postal authorities to rid the government of unjust ex- pense. The country newspaper manager is personally known to his patrons and credit is therefore expected. ““This ruling of the postal depart- ment, is mandatory, however, and the publisher is obliged to do his collecting promptly and without hesitation. This is no move on the part of the publisher, but 1s forced upon him that he collect his sub- scriptions:- - promptly.- -If he does not-do so, he comes under the law.” y z THOUSANDS 0UT IN SYMPATHY ive Lafior Demonstira- tion at Philadelphia. HANY UNIONS ON STRIKE Ext Call for a General Walkout of Organ- ized Workmen Is Responded to by an Army \ei Toilers, but Their Ac- tion Was Quiet and Peaceable—Sub- way ar Elevated Lines Not Af- fected by Latest Strike Order. Philadelphia, March 7.—Philadel- phia is experiencing the most exten- sive ‘labor demonstration in the his- tory of the city—the long heralded general strike in sympathy with the striking street car men. Declared to be the first general sympathetic strike ever called in this country the movement of organized labor thus made memorable was fur- ther unique for the fact that no dis- ofder attended the walkout. The street car service was as good as any day recently, 1,013 cars, according to the company, being operated in the early hours. The strike call was responded to by many thousands of workers, but their action was quiet and peaceable. The police, who had expected trouble, were greatly relieved to find nothing more serious than a trivial affair at one of the trolley power houses. The number of men on strike can- not be accurately ascertained. Direc- tor of .Public Safety Clay says not more than 20,000 walked out. Labor Men 8ay 75,000 Are Out. The only assertion the strike lead- ors will make is that 75,000 workers are out. Officials at the city hall and Rapid Transit company representa- tives scoffed at the idea that the lat- ter had gone out. The promise made by Timothy Heely, representative of the station- ary firemen, who sald he could cripple the power plants, apparently was not tulfilled.. The power plants were op- erated and cars -were running with extra policemen to guard against the trouble looked for by the department of public safety. The superintendent of the subway and elevated lines of the traction company said that branch of the service would not be affected, as the men were not unionized. As a matter of fact, the company is making a great effort to keep this great east and west artery of travel open. It was said by the union leaders that intentionally public facilities, such as the service of milk, ice and bread, had not been curtailed and that the men would go' out after having notified their patrons supplies were to stop. FIREMEN ASK MORE WAGES Submit Demands to Thirty-two East- ern Railroads. New York, March 7.—The firemen and enginemen of the thirty-two East- ern raflroads have submitted to the General Managers’ agsociation a for- mal demand for an increase in wages. This demand is similar to that pre- sented to the same roads last Decem- ber by the conductors and the train- men. Grand Master Carter of the Brother- hood of Firemen will proceed to make arate and similar demand on all railroads. The proceeding in- about 50,000 firemen on the raflroads east of the Mississippi and north of the Baltimore and Ohio. The demands do not affect the enginemen balonging to the union who have beea advanced from flremen. The wage requests are for an in- orease to $3 a day from $2.60. Numaer- ous changes in working conditions are also asked. g SETTLED BY ARBITRATION Workmen Given From Five teo Ten Per Cent nicrease. g Ludlow, Mass.,, March 7.—The Lud- low Manufacturing association has posted a notice of an increase in wages of from 5 to 10 per cent. The increase is a result of the mediation of the state board of arbitration, which took up the matter of the rela- tions between the company and its em- ployes after the eventful strike of two months ago. Following the eviction from their homes of the strikers and their fami- lles a compromise was agreed upon by which the operatives returned to work pending a readjustment of the wage schedule. Raise Wages of Street Car Men. Reading, Pa., March 7.—Announce- ment has been made by the local street car company that the wages of all motormen and conductors on trol- ley cars will be increased 25 cents a day. The action is generally accepted as an effort by the company to pre. vent difficulties similar to those in Philadelphi: PRESIDENT MADRIZ. Nicaraguan Executive Declares His Willingness to Resign. MADRIZ STATES HIS POSITION Will Resign Presidency of Nicaragua if United States Insists. Managua, March 7.—“If 1 am per- sonally responsible;for the refusal of the United States to reccgnize the Nicaraguan government after the ex- pected peace is.declared I shall be only too' glad to resign the office.” This was the declaration of Presi- dent Madriz in- commenting on the possibility of the- United States lift- ing its diplomatic embargo. “My only ambition is to serve Nic- aragua,” the president continued. “I have no personal or political ambi- tions and did not seek the office I now hold. If the United States demands my retirement from office as a condi- tion precedent to its re-establishment of diplomatic relations with Nicaragua I shall pay the price gladly.” The general belief is that President Madriz will have to “make good” his promise. v MERCHANT SHOOTS THREE Prominent North Carolinans Are the Victims. Scotland Neck, N. C., March 7.— Feeling is running high against E. E Powell, a ‘merchant, who ‘shot down State Senator E. L. Travis, State Rep- resentative E. P. Kitchen, & brother ot the governor, and Deputy, Sheriff C. W. Dunn. Travis and Kitchen are se. riously and Dunn fatally wounded. The shooting is declared by the vic tims and several eyewitnesses to have been absolutely. without' provocation, though Powell, who surrendered after beginning a stubborn defense in his home and is now:in jail, insists that he shot in self-defense, being attacked by all three of his victims. ENGLAND IS DEEP IN DEBT Faces Deficit of $150,000,000 at the End of March. London, March 7.—A deficit of $150, 000,000, unprecedented in times of peace, will face the government at the end of the fiscal year on March 31, ac- cording to the estimates of the gov- eriment’s ablest financiers. The estimate of $150,000,000 in: cludes the loss of the petrol, whisky, tobacco, saloon licenses, automobile licenses, death duties, revenue stamps and land taxes, as well as the income tax, and the total is such as to astound the nation. The deficit is entirely owing to the legislative deadlock. GERMANY ENTERS POLE RACE WIll Contest With Great Britain and the United States. Berlin, March 7.—The German Geo- graphical society has decided to send out a South Polar discovery expedi- tion and so contest with the United States and Great Britain in the race through the Antaretic. MORE THAN FIFTY ON BOARD 8teamer Prins Willem Il. Is Given Up for Lost. New York, March 7.—All hopes for the safety of the Royal Dutch West Indies steamship Prins Willem II. which sailed from Amsterdam for thig port by way of Venezuela -.on Jan. 21, have been “given up. The ship was due at Paramaribo on Feb. 8. The Prins Willem carried fifteen cabin passengers and had a crew of thirty-eight under command of Cap- tain J. W. Van Slooten. It is believed that she foundered in the heavy weath er of early February.. CANADIAN SLIGE FATAL TO FIFTY Avalanche Occurs in British Columbia, VICTIMS WERE WORKMEN While Engaged In Clearing Up a Small 8lide on the Tracks of the Canadian Pacific a Large Siide Comes Down the Mountain and Carries Them to Their Death in the Canyon Below. Vancouver, B. C., March 7.—In a snowslide between Rogers Pass sta- tion and Glacier, on the line of the Ca- nadian Pacific, in the Rocky moun- tains, fifty men were killed. All the victims were workmen for the railway company and more than half of them were Japanese. ‘The men were a working crew clear- ing away a small slide that had come down early in the evening. They were working a rotary engine, when a large slide came down and carried them to their death in the canyon below. At first it was believed that all of the hundred men engaged in the work had been killed, but later it was found that many had escaped. The death total is now estimated at fifty. All passenger trains on the line are safe, though it will probably be a day or two before they are able to pass the place where the slide occurred. It was one of the worst nights ever experienced in the railway section of the Canadian Rockies. There was a heavy storm of rain and sleet and sometimes snow. . A -storm also occurred In the Arrow lakes. Communication with the East is down. A long section of telegraph line was carried away by the slide. FORTY-EIGHT BODIES FOUND Other Victims of Wellington Avalanche Still Buried. ‘Wellington, Wash,, March 7.—All the bodies of the victims of the Well- ington disaster will not he recovered for a month, according to a statement made by Superintendent O'Neill. Those digging for bodies in the snowy tomb of the avalanche made little progress and only forty-eight dead have been brought out, leaving thirty- five passengers and railroad men and an unknown number of laborers still buried in the gorge where two Great Northern trains were wrecked. The danger of a second slide is im. minent. At Alvin the station agent was forced to leave-on account of having no food. Tn Berne, five miles east of the tunnel, the employes of the road were starved out and were forced to send a messenger over almost insur- mountable obstacles to get help. FLOOD BENEFITS FARMERS Low Lands in Ohio Covered With Thick Layer of Rich Loam. Cleveland, March 7.—Three days of sunshine have destroyed the last of the ice gorges in Ohio streams and the melted snow is well on its way to the gulf. Waters throughout the state are practically normal. One result of the inundation is that farmers in the low lands now find their property coated with a thick layer of rich loam, brought from the hills; and calculations by agricultural experts seem to show that this fertile addition tends to counterbalance the loss in buildings and fences. WESTERN FLOODS ARE OVER Colder Weather Causes Rivers to Re- cede Rapldly. Seattle, Wash,, = March 7.—The weather bureau believes the floods in the Northwest are ended. There was a light freeze in Seattle and a hard freeze in the mountaine. All the riv- ers are falling rapidly. The Northern Pacific has resumed its regular train schedule. The Chicago, Milwaukee and Puget Sound railroad has suffered small losses and will clear its tracks in a few days. E Floods Blockade lowa Roads. Hampton, Ia.,, March 7.—High water has completely tied up train service on the Iowa Central between this place and Belmond. The stage of wa- ter in all the creeks is such that all the roads are beginning to take ex- traordinary precautions to prevent de- lays and damage to tracks. Landslide in Pennsylvania. Easton, Pa, March 7.—A Lehigh Valley passenger train from Buffalo to New York ran into a landslide near the government proving grounds at Redington, nine miles west of this city. The locomotive and six cars, including the diner and two Pullmans, were thrown from the track. No pas- sengers were injured. New Bishop of Winona. St. Paul, March 7—Very Rev. Pat- rick Heffron, rector of the St. Paul seminary, has been confirmed as the new bishop of the Catholic diocese of ‘Winona in succession to the late Bishop Cotter. The confirmation of his nomination by Archbishop Ireland has been received from Rome. Might Be Made Useful. “This kid,” declared the New York broker, “is no good as an office boy.
