Gould, general superin- tendent of logging for the Bemidji Lumber company, returned to Be- midji this morning from a business trip to Kelliher, where he was look- ing over the timber cut the past winter near that place for his com- pany. O. S. Huset, mail carrier for Rural Route No. 2, now has a fine new buggy, gaily decorated with red wheels, of which he is justly proud, and as he passes through the country east of Bemidji he is envied by his less fortunate neighbors. Huset is certainly up to date.

When they|' come to Bemidji, now, Mr. and Mrs. Neving drive to Bagley and come from that place on the train, necessitating considerable travel. Notice for Bids.

MINERS’ STRIKE 1S COMPLETE Tieup General in Bituminous Districts. SOME CONFERENCES BEGIN Early Settlement of Trouble Expected in lowa and Indiana, Where Oper- ators Agree to Pay the wagu De- manded—Other Maf Dispute in lllinois and Pennsylvania and a Prolonged Contest Is Probable. Indianapolis, April 2—Reports from bituminous coal districts show a com- plete shutdown as the result of the strike of United Mine Workers, who are demanding an increase in wages and better working conditions. In some localities, however, an early ad- justment of differences is expected. Conferences between the miners’ or- ganizations in the several districts and the operators’ associations have been arranged. Adjustment of the difficulty may be a question of weeks or days. In the Brazil block coal district of In- diana the operators conceded the higher wage demand of the mirers. Iowa mine workers claimed a vic- tory as the result of the first joint wage conference at Des Moines, at which the operators agreed to pay an increase of 5.55 per cent for men to man the mines during the suspension. The joint conference then adjourned at the request of the miners until Monday, April 11. The mine workers will be in session all next week, changing’ the constitution to conform with the national constitution and for- mulating their demands to be made when the joint conference resumes. Expect to Win in Indiana. The miners of the Eleventh district will have little difficulty in obtaining a 5.55 per cent increase of wages, it was announced from Terre Haute, Ind. Officers of the Operators’ asso- clation said the increase probably would be granted next Wednesday. On the other hand, in Illinois and Western Pennsylvania, where the powder question and that of which party shall pay the shotfirers enter the controversy, a prolonged contest is probable. At hundreds of meetings in large and small mining communities where the people dependent on the industry assembled to listen to the speeches of the union leaders the strike was the sole subject of discussion. The national officers and members of the executive board of the United Mine Workers of America, who had been in secret session at headquarters in this city, departed for their respec- tive districts to advise the local or- ganizations in the negotlations with the mine owners. President Thomas L. Lewis spoke at Belleville, 111, and will visit several other Illinois towns. MITCHELL'S EFFORTS FAIL Labor Leader Leaves Philadelphia With Strike Situation Unchanged.

Many hundreds of men are affected, there are fears that quantities of valuable perishable freight will be tied up and reports were prevalent that the strike might spread to other classes of em- ployes in the harbor service. Following the formal beginning of the strike the masters and mates of boats in the service of the Baltimore and Ohio, the Lackawanna, the Central Rallroad of New Jersey and the Le- high Valley railroads began returning their boats to the companies’ head- quarters and abandoning work.
