On first-class shipments the present rate is 67 cents into Grand Forks and 61 cents into East Grand Forks. A new rate will be effective to Grand Forks Aug. 20, be ing 3 cents under the present rate, but it still leaves a spread of 4 cents. On second-class freight, the old rate to both cities was 57 cents. To east Grand Forks the new rate is 50 cents, while the third-class rate into East Grand Forks has been reduced from 44 to 40 cents. The spread in coal rates is espec ially great, being 43 cents a ton on soft coal, and it would total $17.80 on the average carload of coal. Prior to the Minnesota rate decision the rates of the two cities were identi cal, but under the new rates, East of rations, railroad fare and pullman. Grand Forks has far the best of it. accommodations from Camp Perry to home station by most direct route of travel. Grand Forks wholesalers are putting on extra teams to haul their snipments across the river and thus save the rate. The Grand Forks Commercial Club is also investigating the situation, and Secretary C. W. Graves is now on an eastern trip, the purpose of which is Wahpeton and Fargo are in the same position as Grand Forks, ship ments into Breckenridge and Moor head being lower than to the Dakota cities. Those cities also will work with Grand Forks in an effort to place the North Dakota cities on an equal basis with the Minnesota border cities. Announcement has been made that the Dawson Press would move to Pet tibone at once. From which it would seem that Dawson is not able to prop erly support the press. I. M.

PLUM LEY FROM POSITION Washington, Aug. 11.—Most of the North Dakota congressional delegation have started another fight against the postoffce department in the case of H. C. Plumley, postmaster at Fargo. About ten days ago the department re quested Plumley to resign, but he would not do so until he had informa tion whether any charges were made against him. The North Dakota sen ators took the matter up with the de partment and went over the record on the case and discovered nothing against Plumley's efficiency as a post master. They assert, however that the resig nation of Plumley was requested be cause of some articles printed in the Fargo Forum in the campaigns of 1908 and 1910 attacking Governor John Burke, and that the attempt to get Plumley out of office may be laid at Governor Burke's door. Plumley was manager ol the Forum in the years named, although he stated to the postoffice inspectors, who made an inspection of his office, that he was not in active charge of the paper. The North Dakota senators have advised Plumley not to resign and have served notice on the postoffice department that, if a democrat is named as post master at Fargo, the nomination will be held up indefinitely.

Minot, N. D., Aug. 11.—One hun dren and forty-five men, including a former mayor of the city, are under arrest as the result of riots this aft ernoon and evening instigated by speakers for the Industrial Workers of the World. At a late nour tonight the dis turbances of the day had quieted but the opposing factions in the labor war which is in progress are preparing to renew the struggle tomorrow. Unable to cope with the rioters alone the police have sworn in many additional officers and were forced to call upon the sheriff of the county and the city fire department for addi tional help. At a conference of the city officials tonight it was decided to send out an appeal for the state mili tia if the disturbance continues un checked. The I. W. W. leaders here have wired St. Paul, Minneapolis, Du luth and other cities for reinforce ments and declare that the present agitation will be continued. More leaders of the I. W. W. army are being rushed here and will arrive to morrow. Citizens are incensed as the result of insults which have been heaped upo3 the American flag and promi nent citizens. The authorities are taking every precaution to prevent bloodshed. It is declared that many of the citizens as well as the agitators are armed and serious trouble is feared. Dewey Dorman, city street com missioner and a prominent socialist, and Arthur Leseur, former mayor of the city, and a socialist prominent in state politics, were arrested by the police tonight when they attempted to address a mob which gathered upon the streets. Both men are being held in the city jail without bonds. Jack Law, a speaker for the I. W. W., was arrested with a large number of his followers last night after they had clashed with a crowd of citizens. Law and his followers were pelted with rotten eggs from the top of the Hotel Leland. A. C. Olander, cigar manufacturer, and Dank Greenleaf, lawyer, were mobbed Friday night. They attempt ed to interfere with a meeting of the agitators which was being held on the streets. A woman whose name could not be! learned attempted to make a speech on the streets here tonight and was howled down by a mob of socialists I and Industrial Workers. The police interfered in the disturbance and took m^ny of the crowd into cus tody. The agitators have also influenced many of the men engaged in the pav ing work and sewer building to quit work and to sell the ranks of the unemployed. Farmers are offering 13 a /ay for work in the fields but the I. W. W. agitators demand from $3.50 to $4 and are trying to hold their forces to gether to compel the farmers to as sent to their terms. The city has a great problem on hand in the attempt to take care of the prisoners. The jails are filled to overflowing while the trouble is grow ing more acute. Tonight a crowd of "Steel where Steel Belongs" are indespensable to the sportsman who wants the ESTABLISHED 18791 of angry citizens made a raid upon the fire station in an attempt to secure the city hose and turn streams of wa ter upon the I. W. W. workers. They were prevented from carrying out their purpose. Local socialists are very bitter over the arrest of Street Commissioner Dorman, ex-Mayor Leseur and other prominent socialists. There is also a great deal of feeling against the men and it is rumored that a petition will be circulated for the recall from the commission of Dorman. Although more I. W. W. workers are arriving on every train the police with the assistane of the county of ficers and special deputies, are mak ing arrests whenever a pretext war rants.
