MONTREAL, July 22g-fhe difficulties
besetting the formulation of arbitration
crooosals satisfactory both to the Grand

of the' striking conductors and trainmen
occupied the government officials again to
day, following the prompt rejection last
tilKht of the minister of labor's latest sug
gestion by Vice-president Murdoch of ihs
Order of Railway Trainmen. The rauroaa
officials continued their endeavors to set
In motion the wheels of their freight sys
tern, while the strikers apparently were
confident as ever of winning their case.
A new feature of interest in tho situation
was th possibility of action by United
States customs officials to effect forward
ing Of bonded freight from the United
States, now tied up at numerous points on
the Grand Trunk lines.
The strikers say Vice President Murdoch
described their position precisely In his
telegram to Mackensle King, minister of
labor, last night. Their position )a that
they will arbitrate If they can name a
board of arbitrators, having already sugr
gested 13. K. Clark of the United States

Opposition to
Oregon Systerr
Assembly and Anti-Assembly Repub-
licans Each Put Primary Slates
i in the Field.
PORTLAND, Ore., July 21. Eleven hun
dred republicans self-styled the "assembly"
and representing the faction of the repub
lican party In Oregon opposed to the selec
tion of United States senators by the peo
ple under the "Oregon system" yesterday
met here and recommended candidates for
the republican nomination of representa
tives to congress and for various state of
fices. Those recommended are:
Acting Governor Jay Bowerman of Con
don, as "candidate for governor; Congress
man W. C. Hawley and Congressman W. H.
Ellis were recommended for reelection.
. The anti-assembly republicans the fac
tion which favors the "Oregon system," of
voting on senatorial candidates are Just as
bitterly and apparently just as ready to
lock horns as the "assembly" faction. It
is admitted by both factions that on the
result of the November election stands or
(alls the "Oregon system," in this state.,
"The opposition to the assembly is not
organised and it cannot be for the antl
assembly republicans are opposed to the
principle of party assemblages, whose ob
ject Is to suggest candidates for nomina
tion. They contend that the assembly is'
in reality an attempt to return to the old
convention metnod of nominating a ticket
and that its real purpose Is the distinction
of the direct primary. There sre neverthe
less, already sufficient anti-assembly can
didates for nomination In the flld to Insure
practical oomplete anti-assembly primary
tickets throughout the state.
While openly asserting that it has for Its
main object the slaughter of the "Oregon
system," the "assembly," faction also eon-
tends that Its second Important purpose Is
to suggest for nomination suitable candi
dates for office In other words to invite
men of ability to accept nomination for
office. They deny they are opposed to the
direct primary system, but are Its best
f fiords.

ST. PAUL GETS NEXT MEET
Saengsrbnnd of Northwest Decides
on Biennial Saengerfest.
THEO. BEHRENS .13 PRESIDENT
Hebert C. Strehlow la Nominated, bat
Declines Om'nbn Complimented
on Class of Entertainment '
Fnrnl.hed.
St. Paul. Minn., won the next Saengerfest,
by acclamation.
Former President Theodore Behrens of
Chicago wss chosen president by acclama
tion for the ensuing two years. Otto Roh
land, R. C. Strehlow and Peter Laux. all
placed In nomination, declined to be con
sidered as candidates.
Peter Laux, vice-president; George Kleck,
secretary; E. O. Kney, treasurer; John
Wunder, librarian, and Theo. Kelbe, musi
cal director, were all re-elected In order,
and all received ovations of good will and
indorsement. Director Kelbe was given
an especially warm reception and was
cheered to the echo.
Preceding the election, retiring President
Rohland congratulated the delegates of the
9aengerbund, of whom between 400 and 600
attended the meeting at the German home,
on the success of the Saengerfest, just
closing in Omaha. He said everything had
gone as near right- as human ingenuity
could devise, and the auspicious condi
tions surrounding the holding of the fest
were all that could be desired. He said
tbat as president he had trie to so manage
the affairs of the bund that Its continued
prosperity would be assured, and expressed
the belief bis successor would find It pos
sible to bring the organization to even a
higher state of officlency.
Later, after his home city had been
selected for the next fest, Mr. Rohland as
sured the delegates tbat St. Paul deeply
appreciated the compliment of being selected
unanimously as host for the next biennial
gathering. He could assure them, on benair
of every organisation in bis city, German
and otherwise, that plans to entertain
them would be mad on a big scale, and
that St. Paul would endeavor to outdo
Omaha. Mr. Rohland paid Omaha some
nice compliments as a convention enter
tainer in the course of his talk.
Strehlow Declines.
Robert C. Strehlow of Omaha, who has
been at the head of the local organisation
handling the present Saengerfest, after de
clining to be a candidate for president,
made a short address. He said Omaha was
willing to concede that the delegates them
selves and the other visitors had as much
to do with assuring the great success
achieved as had the local committee. He
wanted everybody to go home feeling that
the city of Omsha was honored by their
coming had done its best to earn their
good will and desired to hold their respect
and confidence.
Mr. Strehlow's talk was received In a
manner that left no doubt of the genuine
ness of the good feeling among the dele
gates toward the city whose guests they
have been for several days.
Theodore Behrens, the new president, has
filled the office before. He Is a leader In
German musical circles in Chicago, and has
other distinctions. He la disUnotly a heavy
weight, .both as to height and girth and
when he bends his head to smile, before you
stands President Taft. Behrens In some re
spects bears a remarkable likeness to the
president of the United States. He wears
the same kind of mustaohe, trained almost
exactly-like Taft's Is, has the same merry
twinkle In his eyes when pleased and the
cast of countenance Is near enough like
to permit President Behrens to pose most
anywhere at a short distance as the na
tion's executive.
ST.
PAUL
DELEGATES ELATED
Com In Large Numbers Prepared to
Take Back Convention.
,The 200 delegates and singers from St.
Paul renewed their waning enthusiasm
when the Saengerbund business meeting
named the Minnesota capital as the host
of ths next Saengerfest, to be held in 1912.
St. Paul's delegation came with the back
ing of the commercial bodies as well as the
German societies of the town. They brought
several thtfbsand souvenir books and ar
ranged ahead to have a headquarters In
Labor Temple, where they could receive
and entertain their friends. Thus they were
able to make sure of achieving their ambi
tion almost from the start Besides that,
the St. Paulites point out that they are
among the very oldest societies connected
with the bund, have always stood by It,
and are willing to spend their money to
entertain the fest, whenever they get a
ohance. They promise the fest of 1911 will
be the greatest ever held..
ALL READY FOR. THE PICNIC
Krog Park Will Present Gala Appear.
lm Saturday.
Yesterday afternoon the St. Paul singers
were scattering enthusiasm all over the olty
with their songs of glee, and everywhere
they go other singers Joined with them In
making Teutonlo harmony and German
good nature all pervading. In fact, St.
Paul Is not alone Is this laudable move
ment, for there Is not a city represented
but has a bunch of sweet singers who
specialise in some one song or group of
songs.
These will be heard in all their glory
this afternoon fti Krug park, when the
annual picnic wfll be on the card. This will
be an affair not only for the societies, but
for all Germans and their families, and
even if the park i not opened again this
year, the one occasion should store the
trees with enough melody to- last the birds
for years.
